Just as Fall and Winter bring the dropping of leaves, leaving the branches to look disheveled and scrawny, Christians can also enter dark periods of their lives. They can feel confused, weak, depressed, discouraged, unenthusiastic, emotionally scrawny and scraggly. I wouldn’t say it’s normal, but every Christian I know has faced times like this. Fortunately, […]

The Spirit of God […]

The Oregon Legislature has mandated that large utilities deliver 100% emissions-free electricity by 2040. Since coal and natural gas account for more than 45% of Oregon’s electricity generation, replacing those fuels with emission-free alternatives will be difficult.

I’ve been writing several blogs about wisdom recently.

School choice programs […]

Horses are a wonderful breed of animal—sleek, sure-footed, tireless, gentle, majestic, and patient. The horse is often the illustration of humility or meekness, which is “power under control.” We are called to be like them in the sense of being humble and allowing God to direct our lives. He said, “I will instruct you and […]

Two weeks ago, the Oregon Supreme Court unanimously sided with Oregon Democrats to overlook the actual voted-upon text of Measure 113, and denied ten Republicans from serving in their next term.

David knew enough about the human body that he said, “I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful, I know that full well.” (Psalm 139:14) I’ve always been fascinated with the human body.

The last segment of Oregon’s Interstate Highway system opened in 1982. One would think that since Oregon has a nationally prominent planning system, there would be efforts underway to plan for the next generation of great roads. But that is not the case.

In 2023, eight states passed universal or near-universal educational choice laws.

A strong majority of voters agree that parents should be able to choose […]
In December, Gov. Tina Kotek released the recommendations of her Portland Central City Task Force. Although most of the ideas were helpful, as a package they were tepid.

“My folks instilled in me a strong work ethic. I’m honest and I’ve worked hard all my life. I’ve been frugal, so I have a sizeable nest egg.” Many Americans can say the same thing. But an important feature is missing. There’s no mention of God’s help. Long ago the LORD had warned people whom […]

Though Jesus warned us that the Tribulation would be preceded with wars, it doesn’t make them any less awful. What we are witnessing in Israel and Ukraine right now are tragedies.

Have you ever felt like getting away and escaping the pressures that weigh you down? Perhaps it is work that is repetitive and never-ending.

There are a lot of upsides to using a woodstove to heat your house: warmth no matter the weather or availability of electricity. But, one of the downsides of handling all that wood is splinters. Even using gloves, there is the possibility of getting a small splinter. It’s not the large ones that are hard […]

One of Metro’s proposed policies for 2023 is the […]
Climate fear-mongering, eco-anxiety counseling and a rocky road to Third World status Ever since the Biden administration promised to eliminate fossil fuels, climate activists have combined their quest to use the government to control society with creating a collective group possessed by illusions and excessive fears that climate change is destroying Planet Earth. This Climatism […]
When I was young, I liked TV shows about cowboys. I wore my six guns so often that one of Dad’s friends nicknamed me “Tex” (He called me that until he passed away). If you asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I would have said, “A cowboy.” I liked Gunsmoke, […]

We’ve been here before, and we’ll be here again, and again, and again. Look into your vaccine exemption rights in your state. We fought to keep your rights to choose. You might want to understand. It seems every few years when the peak of the normal cycling of measles cases comes in, those who profit […]
After a devastating storm or fire, the person interviewed often says something to the effect, “We’ll build back better. We’ll be stronger than we were before.” I know they are trying to bring comfort and hope to the people, but there is no mention of relying on God’s help. It sounds a lot like the […]
If it passes, pro-family citizens objecting to the LGBTQ agenda will be criminalized. NOTE: An earlier version of this article appeared in American Thinker.

In June, the elected Auditor for Metro published a report showing that the agency misled voters when it promised that funds raised from the $475 million bond measure approved in 2019 would be used to make Metro’s nature parks more accessible to the public. It’s nice to see this concern validated by the Auditor, but […]
It’s been another eye-opening, shocking week in Oregon. From a 48-hour, record-setting drag queen marathon, to Governor Kotek’s signing one of the most controversial bills ever into law.

Giants are not only the subject of fictional children’s stories like Jack and the Beanstalk. There were actual giants who lived on Earth in the early days of the Old Testament.

In 2007, Bill and Melinda Gates began targeting malaria research. In 2014, the […]
Two weeks ago, Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler announced plans to give a 2.6% tax break to businesses threatening to leave Portland. This is a win for businesses and could encourage some to stay.

The study discovered that there were around 93,575 fewer abortions in states […]
The word “faith” occurs 7 times in the first epistle to Corinthians and 7 in the second.

Just like an Authoritarian scientific dictator who held power in the United States, the mob mentality can hold new hypotheses at bay – sometimes critical hypotheses that can harm hundreds of millions. During COVID-19, the public had the chance to see authoritarian Faucian Science displayed in full view. Numerous times when being questioned by Senator […]
It’s not difficult to understand that limited viewpoints yield limited understanding. Here’s an analysis that with a little effort will show us why Faucian science leads to relative impoverishment. When Karl Popper created his formal calculus to describe how science works, he refused to include the subjective scientist in the equation. For many, this was […]
Modern “Big Science” has rendered dangerous tendencies toward totalitarianism. It is time for a return to Popperian views on Science to protect Democracies around the world. Sir Karl Popper, arguably the world’s most influential Philosopher of Science, wrote extensively in defense of ways that scientists and those concerned with scientific endeavors should interact. As a […]

When the Scripture uses the term “darkness,” it most often carries the negative sense of sin. “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.” (Isaiah 5:20) Darkness also describes the situation when the devil has […]
As people awoke that fateful day of the Deluge, most of them thought it just was going to be another average day. Jesus said that in the same way, most people will be oblivious to His return. “As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son […]
On Friday, April 21, the Supreme Court upheld the status quo allowing chemical abortion distribution to continue.

Frank Sinatra’s classic, “I Did It My Way,” sounded nice, as far as his voice was concerned, but the lyrics show a proud and arrogant man who faced life independent of others’ help.

Elected officials across the state are scrambling to do something to reduce homelessness in Oregon.

The Corinthian epistles are unique and insightful. For instance, 1 Corinthians is the only epistle in which Paul deals with tongues and water baptism. And although Paul labels as Saints those in the church at Corinth, there were many living carnal lifestyles. All of Paul’s epistles have been applicable to the church, the Body of […]
Gathered together for safety, no one slept that fitful night. It’s hard to describe how slowly the hours of darkness crept along.

I normally don’t like to speak ill of various religious practices, because the issue is Jesus Christ and not working for salvation, but receiving Him and salvation as a free gift.

A familiar sound at our house recently has been the screech of electrical gadgets sending out one last desperate distress call, as they die from another Portland General Electric (PGE) power failure. “How long will it last this time,” we wonder?

Jesus had just told His disciples that that night they’d abandon Him and run for their lives. Not wanting to be called a coward, especially in front of others, Peter puffed out his chest and said, “Not me. I’ll stand with You even if it costs me my life. These other guys may scatter, but […]

As people in Ephesus heard the gospel and received Christ, their lives were radically changed for the better. However, not everyone was happy with the changes.

Genesis 19 is one of the most shocking chapters of the Bible. I remember the first time I read it I thought, it’s hard to fathom a society that is so wicked and depraved that this scenario could even take place. But let me tell you, as the days and years have passed since that […]

I have been closely following Clackamas County races for several reasons. My main concern is where our Tri-County Governments are headed. Multnomah County and Washington County since the last election have fallen into disarray beyond an eight-to-twelve-year repair even with new political leadership and administrative direction. Multnomah most likely even longer. Clackamas is our last […]

Peter Marks has thrown out the efficacy requirement for approval of COVID-19 vaccines for children under the age of 5. Which means FDA approval in June is a possibility.

Former Judge Vance Day is running for a nonpartisan position on the Oregon Court of Appeals, the second-highest court in the state.

Misleading claims on organic food grocery bags deceive shoppers on bees and pesticides I don’t deliberately avoid organic foods or markets, but I don’t seek them out either.

The vast majority of U.S. citizens agree that we have never before seen America being destroyed so rapidly. Increasing numbers believe this is no accident; rather, this is being done on purpose. Why?

America’s Executive and Legislative Branches are full of ignorant politicians who need help from a 5th-grader.

This is the Circle of Life; without it, our planet […]
“War is a racket, wrote US Maj. General Smedley Butler in 1935. He explained: “A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of the people. Only a small ‘inside’ group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, […]
Corruption. Decay. Putrefaction. Rot. The stomach-churning odor of a pus-filled wound. That’s what comes to mind when I think about California’s current moral trajectory.

In spite of record revenue, Clackamas County Commissioner Sonya Fischer knowingly approved unsustainable budgets in 2017 and 2018, leaving the taxpayers at least $12 million upside down. Managing a &1 billion budget is the most important aspect of the job, and she failed miserably. She’s on the May ballot, and is facing accountability from frustrated […]
Children are very vulnerable, because of limited life experience. They inherently trust their parents, teachers, and other adults who may not live up to that trust. And their desire to be accepted by others is too often an invitation to risky behavior, involving alcohol, drugs, sex, radical ideas, and fear. In a word, they are […]
The last two years have made it clear: Oregon parents deserve real choices in their children’s education. Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, government and teachers’ union policies have disappointed and angered parents whose students’ academic needs haven’t been met by their assigned public schools. In addition, the online public instruction options available while […]
For years, Portland residents have dealt with homeless individuals parking cars and RVs along neighborhood sidewalks, bringing garbage, drug usage, and even blazing fires along with them. This illegal parking has drastically reduced the safety and cleanliness of the city. In late 2020, the City of Portland and Metro began to consider a simple solution: […]
When Disney turns 100 next year, there could be a lot of empty seats at the party.

Remembering that Romans 11 deals with the restoration of the Nation of Israel and the salvation of Gentile Nations we continue where we left off in the last study at Romans 11:21: “For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.” This has nothing to do with the individual believer’s […]

Clackamas County boasts ten percent of Oregon’s population. According to the design of our representative democracy, Clackamas County should have ten percent of the thirty Oregon Senate seats.

Text messages from Virginia Thomas show arrests were made in November 2020 including Biden and his crime family! Conspiracy or truth?

This time they’re coming for your home. Earlier this month, Oregon’s Secretary of State released an audit of Oregon’s mortgage interest tax deduction.

In particular, it claims that […]
Returns of summer steelhead to areas above Bonneville Dam hit a record low in 2021, closing the Deschutes River to steelhead fishing for the first time since 1978 and impacting fisheries throughout the mainstem and tributaries.

Many Oregon politicians have convinced themselves that we can have a high quality of life without the use of oil, coal, or natural gas. If you ask them how we can do this, they have a two-word response: “electrify everything.” It’s a seductive idea. Governor Kate Brown was an early adopter when she signed an […]
Adult transgender athletes are increasing worldwide. Many sports governing bodies are recommending that testosterone levels should be lowered from 10 nanomoles to 5.

The New York Post Editorial Board is calling out dozens of U.S. intelligence community “experts” who all claimed that the paper’s reporting on the contents of Hunter Biden’s laptop in the few weeks ahead of the 2020 election was “Russian disinformation,” noting that they have yet to apologize for their misleading comments. Under the headline, “Spies […]
Nothing is where they told us it was! Nothing is as they said it was. Nothing is taking place in this show the way they are telling us it is. For now, let us look at the world after the flood and how Noah divided the earth for his sons who are Japheth, Shem and […]
How many ways can you fix manna? After forty years of eating it, the Israelites must have developed quite a few recipes. Still, it must have gotten old. There is no indication that the people ate meat from their flocks and herds, so the manna must have provided a well-rounded nutritious source of food. You […]
On Monday, the Idaho House of Representatives passed a pro-life law similar to the Texas legislation that bans abortions after cardiac activity can be detected — at about six weeks of pregnancy.

Few who pay attention should be shocked, but for those who still look to the “newspaper of record” to be the newspaper of record, the New York Times has acknowledged – some 17 months after the story broke – that President Biden’s son’s laptop was indeed President Biden’s son’s laptop. As Glenn Greenwald recounts in […]
According to a new survey from the Oregon Values and Beliefs Center, 71% of Oregonians are either somewhat or very concerned about hospitals having enough beds to take care of all patients requiring care.

Although it may not be appealing to consider kissing a bear goodbye, especially a Russian bear, it is surely necessary now, as Vladimir Putin presses a war of conquest in Ukraine. His full scale attack on a sovereign nation is something we had hoped to avoid after utterly defeating the naked aggression of the Germans […]
This is not the first time the favorable conclusions of a report ignored the data in a report. The Pfizer documents seem to show they were all just going through the motions, all for show.

Homelessness is the biggest issue facing Portland—and the state of Oregon—today. Tarps, tents, and heaps of garbage are a common sight in nearly every neighborhood of the city.

More than one person has said, “The golden years are when you spend all your saved-up gold on doctors.” It’s a funny adage, but the truth behind it isn’t so funny. I wonder if part of the reason why we like to watch the Olympics or other professional sports is that it allows us to […]
Whereas the 10th chapter of Romans explains how individual Jews and Gentiles are saved into The Body of Christ by grace through faith, the 11th chapter deals with the restoration of the Nation of Israel and the salvation of Gentile Nations. Unfortunately, this truth was obscured by early church fathers shortly after Paul revealed it. […]
Just five months ago, Portland City Council announced that the city was going to have an unexpected $62 million surplus. Earlier that year, the mayor was begging people to come back downtown to shop in stores and eat in restaurants.

Do you really believe that President Trump would have been preemptive in writing an executive order to investigate, halt, and seize assets of election tampering foreign and domestic two years prior to the 2020 election and then ignore it? Do you really believe that he, President Trump, who, watched from his special bunker the real […]
The Portland Public School Board voted March 1 to adopt the “PPS Climate Crisis Response, Climate Justice, and Sustainable Practices Policy.” Cascade Policy Institute’s President and CEO John A.

Chapters 9 – 11 of Romans teach the Sovereignty of God in Election & Restoration: Election in that God chose/elected the Nation of Israel to be His people, however they rejected Him, first when they crucified their Messiah, then when they stoned His messenger Stephen to death, thus rejecting the offer of His Kingdom; Restoration […]
It is looking a lot like Putin is Saving millions of lives and possibly billions! Those nasty biolabs have been dangerous and perhaps when we dig a bit deeper we just may find they never should have been built. Why did the U.S. need so many in Ukraine? In a Washington Post News Article Written […]
We have seen Ukraine on Fire the riveting documentary that exposes the Obama Regime’s involvement in capitalizing a modern-day occupation of a nation, through a coup to control it and have the new colony govern itself under their coup advisors. Yes, that is what happened…or what the deep state tried to do. It just didn’t […]

Twisting, distorting and warping data can be hidden behind the guise of “science”. But hiding data? And claiming they need more funding because you can’t report some numbers? Well, you decide. Last year, IPAK was called out for calling out CDC for over-reporting cases and death rates – a necessary truth given the way that […]
TO COME OUT FROM HER MY PEOPLE…YOU MUST WAKE UP FROM YOUR STUPOR FIRST! YOU HAVE BEEN LIED TO OVER AND OVER AND OVER! Oh watchman, tell me is it going to rain today or is the sun going to shine…don’t look at the clouds, do not look at the sky…that would be interfering with […]
People in the Portland area love their parks and they love nature. So much that in 2019, voters approved $475 million in bonds for Metro’s “Parks and Nature” program. What voters thought they were voting for—and what they were told they would get—was more public parks for people and the protection of natural areas. However […]
On March 24, 1944, one of the most audacious projects carried out during World War II occurred. It was the mass escape of Allied soldiers from the German prisoner of war camp Stalag Luft III, the story of which was forever immortalized in the 1963 film The Great Escape, starring Steve McQueen. Although the mass escape, which was […]
Having returned recently from Hawaii where the flowers were in full display, I have been thinking about the role flowers have played in my life. Easter will soon be upon us and the lily has come to represent the resurrection of Christ. Many theories abound as to how the lily arrived at this high symbolic […]
The Associated Press recently floated a story about the decline of the Democrat Party brand in rural and near-rural areas of the United States and attempted to lay that decline at the feet of the party itself, as if it is a separate entity from rank-and-file Democrats themselves. Of course, to a large extent, this […]

Why does Oregon still have a mask mandate? Oregon is now one of the last states to have a statewide mask mandate for both vaccinated and unvaccinated people. If you listen closely to our public health experts, they say they’re focused on hospitalizations. Once the hospitalizations come down, they say then we can throw off […]
Dr. Anthony Fauci is the most highly paid federal employee and the most visible. Therefore, we have an obligation to give him oversight.

If you aren’t yet convinced that the Bill of Rights is under attack by what can now only be correctly defined as the fascist-Left, this story should be the weight that tips the balance. If it isn’t then our Republic is lost further down the path to elitist fascism than even I believe it to […]
Land use regulations in Oregon are adversely impacting the state’s residents and economy. A quick glance at recent news headlines reveals as much.

Joe Biden went off-script again during his remarks to the media in New York City when he repeated two blatant falsehoods, one about the Second Amendment and the other about a federal law that prevents junk lawsuits against gunmakers, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms said today. “When it comes […]
In a move that says more about the city’s residents than it does the city council itself, the people of the City of Brookings, located in southwest Oregon, have successfully petitioned the city council to enact a law that unconstitutionally limits a local church’s ability to feed those in need. Brookings is facing a lawsuit […]
Don’t you just love to be in the company of someone who is always bragging about how great they are or what great thing they have done? I’m kidding. Like pushing a Q-tip too far into our ears, there aren’t too many things more painful than having to listen to someone’s self-aggrandizing. Whether physical features, […]
Chapters 9 – 11 of Romans teach the Sovereignty of God in Election & Restoration: Election in that God chose/elected the Nation of Israel to be His people, however they rejected Him, first when they crucified their Messiah, then when they stoned His messenger Stephen to death, thus rejecting the offer of His Kingdom; Restoration […]
A recent poll by the Portland Business Alliance found that 88% of voters believe their quality of life is getting worse.

Once again, the House Republicans have declared a complete and unconditional surrender to the Democrats.

Sneaking broad language into a bill that would dramatically alter the way the Electoral College functions when accepting or contesting slates of Electors from the states, a group of Democrat-voting senators appear to be constructing a “backdoor” for the co-opting of federal elections from the purview of the states. Democrat-aligned Sens. Angus King (I-ME), Rules […]

Four months after 93 House and Senate members demanded answers from the Biden administration regarding federally-funded fetal tissue research at the University of Pittsburgh (Pitt), the university has released an investigative report stating that the institution is “fully compliant with federal and state regulatory requirements.” The report was conducted by Hyman, Phelps & McNamara (HPM), […]
“Democrats are bad people, but they stick together.” —President Donald Trump. How many occasions did we hear the former president say some variation on this? It was part of his stump speech, and the admonition behind the words only grew stronger as his besieged term in office unfolded. It became an unremitting truth when Dems […]
We all remember where we were when the Berlin Wall came down. While it may have seemed that communist rule would go on forever, when the people decided that they had enough suddenly the wall fell. Just like that. Thus it is after two years of COVID authoritarianism that in Canada the largest truck convoy […]
President Donald J. Trump’s political committees have over $122,000,000 “Cash on Hand” after raising over $51,000,000 during the period between July 1st and December 31st, 2021. President Trump’s continued and unprecedented pace of fundraising shows that the future of the Republican Party in 2022 and beyond remains, perhaps, the strongest in our Country’s history—the MAGA […]
Key References with Abstracts While articles from Reuters and Factcheck.org from June claim otherwise, yes, the SARS-CoV-2 virus can cause cell fusion… that is, the fusion of two different cells.

The US Senate will soon vote on Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell’s nomination to a second term. One of the senators opposing Powell is Elizabeth Warren.

In 1973, a small group of pro-lifers joined a Catholic attorney named Nellie Gray for dinner. Six months prior, the U.S. Supreme Court had issued its infamous Roe v.

COVID-19 disrupted—and may continue to disrupt—in-person learning at many Oregon public schools. For many high schoolers, this has led to reduced academic achievement and a decline in mental health.

To be sure, that fact is nothing new.

For parents in the stands of last weekend’s Ivy League swim meet, there was only one way to describe it: “messed up.” In the 48 hours since Saturday’s head-to-head match-up of two “transitioning” athletes (one male-to-female, another female-to-male), most of the sports world is still rattled. Moms and dads who were there to witness it […]

Often, when we think of the gifts of the Spirit, our attention turns to Romans 12 and 1 Corinthians 12. In doing so, we leave a lot of people wondering whether God passed them by when He was distributing those abilities. That’s because a lot of the gifts listed seem to only apply to church […]
Previous studies covered Romans 9:1 – 29, which begins with the Apostle Paul writing that he could wish himself accursed from Christ for his brethren, his kinsmen according to the flesh, Romans 9:1 – 3: “Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the […]

It is very interesting that NASA docs show that the shape of the earth was not known in 1948. They have patents that work based on a flat earth concept, because that is what they believed it was. In 1961 the Missille patents are based on a flat non rotating earth. In the June 1971 […]
“When an opponent declares ‘I will not come over to your side,’ I calmly say, ‘Your child belongs to us already…. What are you? You will pass on. Your descendants, however, now stand in the new camp.

As a counterpoint to Edmund Burke and George Santayana, let me start with an admonition: Those destined to repeat history are first doomed to forget it. A while back I wrote an article warning of the insidious dangers of state propaganda, especially when augmented by the grinding mediocrities of a government school system, the steady […]
What if everything we thought we knew about homelessness was wrong? If that’s the case, many of the policies we’re pursuing are making things worse instead of better. It’s becoming clearer that much of the accepted wisdom regarding homelessness may be nothing more than convenient myths—myths that lead to doomed policies. The Oregon Office of […]
We often attribute many of our frequently used phrases to Shakespeare. And that is certainly justified.

1. Washington crossed the Delaware River so that his army could attack an isolated garrison of Hessian troops located at Trenton, New Jersey. So why were Washington and his bedraggled Continental Army trying to cross an ice-choked Delaware River on a cold winter’s night? It wasn’t just to get to the other side. Washington’s aim was to […]
In the Old Testament God refers to the leaders among His people as shepherds. He doesn’t limit the title only to men in religious positions. He also uses it to refer to their political leaders, people who were in places of influence for the welfare of the people. After King Saul died, the people rallied […]
[Spoiler alert: This column is a reprint of one written in December of 2019, before most of us had ever heard of COVID-19. How our thoughts of Christmas celebration have been altered since that time, which seems so very long ago!] Some are suggesting we resort to small, scaled-back, restrained observances. Some are thinking there’s […]

As the Neo-fascist government of Vladimir Putin amasses troops and armor along the Ukrainian border, his propaganda machine churns out a contradictory narrative that most in America would find risible. From the Moscow Times, quoting Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov: “We simply don’t have the right to exclude that the Kiev regime may embark on […]

The era of small-modular nuclear reactors (SMRs) is upon us, but Oregon lives in the past.

As rescue teams furiously comb the rubble of collapsed buildings for survivors after close to 30 tornadoes devastated parts of six states across the Midwest and South Friday, Democrats – including President Biden and US.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF), has issued a white paper that lays out the case for swooping in and coopting authority over the cryptocurrency regulatory realm, a multi-trillion dollar industry so far uncorrupted by the mechanisms that have turned Wall Street into a crony-capitalist Mecca.

Parenting can bring a lot of joy. But it also can bring its share of heartache. “A wise son brings joy to his father, but a foolish son grief to his mother.” (Proverbs 10:1).

As 2022 approaches, State transportation planners are working feverishly to implement a plan for charging drivers to use existing highways.

We continue in the 9th chapter of Romans where the Apostle Paul reveals the doctrine of the Sovereignty of God in Election and Restoration, which has caused misunderstandings and divisions in the Christian community for 1900 years or so. Part of the problem is that some either don’t recognize or don’t want to admit the […]
The island of Alcatraz is over a mile offshore in San Francisco Bay. For years, this rock was also the site of a federal prison. Some tried to escape, but no one is known to have been successful because of swift ocean currents, cold water, and sharks. The Bible, however, records miraculous escapes from seemingly […]
Timing is essential in COVID-19 treatment. Universal knowledge of aggressive early treatment is required to counter reckless disinformational whiplash. Those of us most critical of Fauci and other public health voices hold a singular, crystal clear thought in our heads: confusing public health messaging kills. A massive number of physicians around the country have circled […]
To say that the political class in several states has become completely devoid of reality where COVID is concerned would necessarily be the understatement of the millennium. With six states still clinging to the pseudo-science of mandating masks, one state is seeking to make masking permanent. Hawaii, Illinois, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, and Washington all […]
It was an evening of memories, some sadness, and laughter, when Trailblazer fans and other interested patrons at CJ’s Sports Bar in Milwaukie gathered for a book signing event to mark the publication of Jerome Kersey: Overcoming the Odds. Former Oregonian and Portland Tribune sportswriter Kerry Eggers has written a comprehensive biography of a man […]
The island of Alcatraz is over a mile offshore in San Francisco Bay. For years, this rock was also the site of a federal prison. Some tried to escape, but no one is known to have been successful because of swift ocean currents, cold water, and sharks. The Bible, however, records miraculous escapes from seemingly […]
In the most-watched case of a generation, the eyes of the nation’s pro-lifers were on the Supreme Court this morning as oral argument was held in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, a case that will answer the question of “whether all pre-viability prohibitions on elective abortions are unconstitutional.” That’s legal-speak for a case that […]
As the mainstream media in the United States hits the panic button on the marching orders of discredited scientist Dr. Anthony Fauci over the COVID Omicron variant, the doctor who actually detected the variant is denouncing both the hype and the panic. National Chair of the South African Medical Association, Dr. Angelique Coetzee, discovered the […]
So-called “Fact-checkers” posture as if their opinion is the final word. They claim unwarranted special value of their opinion on issues, but their articles are still opinion blog articles. Over the past two years, I have had the occasion to be targeted by articles in self-acclaimed “fact-checking” websites. In this article, I review some of […]
Once reserved only for emergencies and dangerous weather, shutdowns at Oregon public schools have become commonplace for disciplinary reasons, adult staffing shortages, and lesson planning. In November, Reynolds Middle School canceled in-person learning for three weeks because of fights and disruptive behavior. After two years of online learning, many students are finding it difficult to […]
The Tigard City Council is going through the motions of adopting a new land use plan for the 827-acre area known as the Washington Square Regional Center. When adopted, it will replace the existing plan, which was approved in 1999. If you were not aware that there was a “regional plan” for the Washington Square […]
Those who can tell the difference between the old Fauci and the new younger version with similar features know that Fauci is no longer the front head of this virus…the same as Biden is not Biden, and Pelosi is not Pelosi….but now in this game of magic cards we are finding the ones in their […]
Repeats he “is Science”; Laughs off criticism during the pandemic. And no, Dr. Fauci, you are (still) not Science. This will not age well. Anthony Fauci lives in a delusion. In fact, there seems to be two Anthony Faucis. Yesterday, NIAID Director Anthony Fauci made what history will remember to be the most political statement […]
Former Arizona State Representative Anthony Kern has already forced RINO Senator Paul Boyer out of the race for Arizona State Senate. Anthony is an incredible fighter for Election Integrity, and will bring back honesty to our voting system. He will advocate for America First policies, protect our Second Amendment, fight for strong Borders, Jobs, Great […]
Arizona State Senator Wendy Rogers is doing everything in her power to find out the truth of the 2020 Election, and to hold people accountable for Election Fraud in Arizona. Wendy is a MAGA warrior who loves our Country and listens to her constituents. She has a truly great fighting spirit, is strong on Law […]
Stand by for Act III. While the rest of the world reeled with the discovery of a new COVID variant, Omicron, at least one person appears to be basking in the spotlight once again: Dr. Anthony Fauci. Reveling in his celebrity-like status on the Sunday shows, the president’s pandemic mouthpiece didn’t let the absence of […]
THE TRUTH IS WHAT HAS ARRIVED IS ANOTHER MANUFACTURED FEAR HOAX! According to legitimate doctors and not paid cabal scientists, the omicrom variant is actually the by product of the bioweapon jabs. The real fear factor is the fallen ones behind the veil who are carrying out the mass worldwide genocide they call “saving humanity”. […]

Lord Jesus, you are the Creator of the universe and everything You made is good. Help others realize that connection with a virtual world can never replace true connection with You. Please reveal the deception hidden within these new digital platforms. Talking to unicorns, surfing with extraterrestrials and having coffee with dead relatives. All these […]
Often, it’s the innocent ones who suffer. Children go to bed hungry because their parents waste the family money on their addictions. Hostile takeovers result in lost jobs and tragic consequences for hard-working innocent families. Mass shootings in schools, grocery stores, businesses, and places of entertainment kill or hurt innocent victims. Home and business invasions […]
The country was braced for an eruption of violent protests and rioting in the many urban areas after the not guilty verdict in the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse. But aside from a full-on show of arrogance from the uninformed social media warriors, the street actions of those who wanted a guilty verdict paled in comparison […]
Fauci Finally Admits Vaccines Don’t Protect Against Serious COVID or Death Just how completely ineffective the vaccines can be seen from a recent Wall Street Journal report about the Ottawa Senators hockey team which has a 100 percent vaccination rate. And yet, despite this, 40 percent of the players on that team are currently testing […]
The Public Can See What They Did. You Can Help Others Learn About It. Yesterday, U.S. Rep. Troy Carter asked the Biden administration for third-party monitoring of air emissions in the Mississippi River corridor between Baton Rouge and New Orleans — and for money to study the cumulative impact of those emissions on public health. […]
In 2019, the California controller rejected our freedom of information request for the state’s line-by-line expenditures saying they couldn’t “locate” any of the 50 million bills they paid the previous year. So, we sued them. (California is the only state not to produce their state spending subject to our open records request.) Yesterday, California Controller […]
There are so many great Trump people in Michigan. I love Michigan. It has some of the best people, and some of the worst elected officials. The people of Michigan demand better elected officials. Jon Rocha is a grassroots leader, a Marine, and a great father. Jon cares about Election Integrity and knows there was […]
Congratulations to Texas State Representative Ryan Guillen on switching parties and becoming a Republican. Ryan has served as a Democrat in the Texas Legislature for nearly 20 years, but he switched parties because of the Radical Left’s ongoing destruction of our Country. Ryan rejects the Radical Left’s plan to Abolish our Police, Open our Borders, […]
Looks like President Trump was right!
Recent FBI raids on the homes of Mesa County (Colorado) Clerk Tina Peters, conservative activist Sherronna Bishop, and others are raising alarms about election integrity and the activities of federal law enforcement. Bishop heard a loud banging sound at her door early Tuesday, not thinking federal agents were trying to enter her home, she said […]
Decision by Commission appears to be result of collusion with Library Director. County attorney advises to have police at Commission meetings. MassResistance parents continue to be relentless! At the previous Commission meeting (before the testimony ban) this mother shows the Commissioners the federal report on preventing child sexual exploitation – and the local library is […]
Zoo-supported survey expands knowledge of Beaver State’s beaver population Portland, Ore. — Oregonians love their coast, and a first-of-its-kind scientific survey has confirmed that Oregon’s state mammal is no exception. With a grant from the Oregon Zoo Foundation, ecologists from The Wetlands Conservancy have confirmed that beavers are using tidal wetlands in Oregon’s Central Coast, […]
Gibraltar looks like a Shining Example of Pathogenic Priming, Specifically Disease Enhancement, or is Something Else Going On? Dear Reader: The staring contest with Twitter continues. Please do me a personal favor and Tweet this article. By Public Health standards, Gibraltar is a smashing success; they have delivered enough vaccines to the population to vaccinate […]
Loudoun County teacher Tanner Cross won a complete victory Tuesday over the most infamous school board in the country that provoked widespread pushback from parents with a radical, transgender bathroom policy. The school board had suspended Cross for criticizing the policy during a public comment period. But after the Virginia Supreme Court affirmed a District […]
The Democrats are supposed to be the ones falling apart — not the party that just put together the most stunning upset in an off-year election. And yet, the RNC — for reasons no one can understand — apparently doesn’t want to follow the recipe for success that won Republicans Virginia (and got them a […]
Everyone knows I love our Military and our proud Soldiers who have been so horribly disrespected by Joe Biden. America and Michigan needs proven leadership, men and women of the highest integrity, who believe in America First, and who will lead and fight. The Deep State cannot be beaten without real leaders, and Kevin Rathbun […]
West Michigan has produced some very lackluster Republican Leaders. There are great people there who want to win, but the leaders they’ve had are horrible. Mick Bricker is a winner—he’s been successful in business and has raised a beautiful family. Mick is the kind of high integrity America First Republican that everyone thinks they’re voting […]
Economist Milton Friedman passed away 15 years ago this week. In celebration of his life, I’d like to recount part of his interview with ultra-liberal talk show host Phil Donahue. Donahue asked, “When you see the greed and the concentration of power, did you ever have a moment of doubt about capitalism and whether greed’s […]
In December 2019, a Not-So Subtle Academic Called for NeoCommunism, Right In Your Face – and Canadians Applauded. If you told me anything that happened before, during and in the aftermath of COVID-19 could shock me more than the mangling of public health and our economy by Public Health, I’d say that you were insane. […]
Portland General Electric is living a virtual power plant pipe dream, and ratepayers need it to come back to reality. PGE recently told regulators that “it is estimated that as much as 25% of flexibility could come from customers and distributed energy resources (DERs)” on the hottest and coldest days by 2030, from sources including […]
The jury in the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse has started deliberations a day after closing arguments from the prosecution and defense on Monday. Many in the media – including White House press secretary Jen Psaki – have recklessly weighed in on the trial. They will consider first-degree reckless homicide along with two counts of first-degree […]
What do the Federal Reserve and neoconservatives have in common? They both refuse to admit that their policies — the neocons’ promotion of perpetual war and the Fed’s manipulation of the money supply — are complete failures, having produced the opposite of the promised results. The latest example of the Federal Reserve engaging in Bill […]
Father, we ask that You protect life in this nation and the sanctity of it. Bless this infant and his family with Your strength. Guinness World Records on Wednesday announced that an Alabama boy has set the record for the most premature baby to survive. Curtis Means, who is now 16 months old, was born 132 days — almost 19 […]
The 2021-2022 school year started off with a new board, elected in May of ’21. The majority shifted from a far left radical viewpoint to a centrist one. Dave Brown, Renee Powell, Brian Shannon and Trevor DeHart are committed to restoring classroom attention to academics, not politics. One approach would be to clearly define what […]
Science shows robust and durable T-cell immunity to variants. Now, CDC admits no record of unvaccinated person who had COVID-19 spreading. At one time, there was a great amount of concern of people who had COVID-19 being re-infected and getting sick again. Public health policies, including the rationalization of universal vaccination with endless boosters, and […]
The Silent Media Fails to Report Vaccine Deaths of World Class Athletes by Susan Price | Nov 12, 2021 | Healthcare, Politics, They spent their entire life getting ready to be the best of the best in their game, all to be let down by their governments’ medical mandates that kill and maim not only their physical being but the soul […]
In a recent November special election, Lincoln County approved a ballot measure that imposes restrictions and bans on short-term rental housing, such as vacation rentals and Airbnbs. In some areas of unincorporated Lincoln County, existing short-term rentals will be phased out over the next five years, and permits for new rentals will no longer be […]
Prosecutor backs away from the case. Neglects to investigate despite clear evidence. Submits a strange, rambling letter of explanation. These are the books the parents submitted with their complaint. One library book was already checked out, so they submitted photocopies of several of the pages – which the prosecutor ignored. Across the country, the government […]
Nora’s half-sister Amelia Gray moves in at the Oregon Zoo’s new Polar Passage Amelia Gray, a 5-year-old polar bear from the Maryland Zoo, has arrived in town, and is settling in at the Oregon Zoo’s new Polar Passage habitat, where caregivers eventually plan to introduce her to her half-sister Nora. “Even though they’re siblings just a year […]
Arthur “Harpo” Marx (born Adolph Marx) was an American comedian, actor, mime artist, and musician, and the second-oldest of the Marx Brothers. Although the comedy of his brothers Groucho Marx and Chico Marx, Harpo’s style was visual, exemplifying both clown and pantomime traditions. He wore a curly reddish blond wig and was silent in all his movie appearances, instead blowing a horn or whistling to communicate. One of his most well-known […]
The Biden vaccine mandate appears to be falling apart before it’s even in place. From first responders to truck drivers to everyone in-between, the message is clear: many thousands are willing to be fired from their jobs rather than be forced to take a medical procedure they do not want. They have leverage and they […]
This fall, Oregon children began their third school year since the COVID-19 pandemic began. What started as two weeks of remote learning in March 2020 turned into a year outside the classroom for most K-12 students. Pandemic-related government and teachers’ union policies have disappointed and angered parents as their children fell behind, developed an aversion […]
Belgian Doctor Gives Most Recent Statistics When I published my study on pathogenic priming in April, 2020, it was meant as a warning. The evidence was in from past COVID vaccine development attempts: vaccination against coronaviruses had led to DISEASE ENHANCEMENT. I had hoped vaccine makers would have paid heed and would have excluded the […]
In the Old Testament God refers to the leaders among His people as shepherds. He doesn’t limit the title only to men in religious positions. He also uses it to refer to their political leaders, people who were in places of influence for the welfare of the people. After King Saul died, the people rallied […]
The 9th, 10th & 11th chapters of Romans form the 2nd great section of this epistle. The 1st section, chapters 1 – 8, teach justification by faith by the Grace of God apart from works, common to all, whether Jew or Gentile. The problem of how to reconcile this with the special privileges granted to […]
It’s a good thing the White House doesn’t handle 911 calls — it might take two months to get a response! That’s the irony behind the administration’s vaccine mandate. The president used his “emergency” powers to write the rules and then was in absolutely no hurry to release them — or, as we’ve learned by […]
In March 2020, Governor Kate Brown declared a Covid-19 State of Emergency under the title “Stay Home, Stay Safe.” Several months later this declaration was extended to December 2021. As of now, there is no indication from Salem when the State of Emergency will be lifted. On September 27, 2017, according to Yamhill County Chair […]
If it doesn’t, activists and governing classes will destroy middle class jobs, families and lives COP-26, the twenty-sixth massive climate control “conference of parties,” goes live in Glasgow, Scotland on Halloween. That’s certainly appropriate, since its primary purpose is to further terrify humanity to “take action” to prevent the “existential threat” of “manmade climate cataclysms.” […]
Something’s not quite right with people who believe they have the right to have power over the fate of humanity. As an experiment in irony, this article was written with the help of an AI. Roughly 80% of the article was human-generated. The rest was AI-generated and human-modified. Can you pick out the paragraphs the AI […]
The Noble Lie, where elites say something they know to be false but intend for the greater good, has a long history going back to the Ancient Greeks. Socrates argued that the Noble Lie advocated by Plato in his ‘Republic’ was completely appropriate. That was long before the Evangelical Christians of the 17th century (Puritans, […]
The Oregon Zoo’s winter light display is back with two ways to illuminate the season PORTLAND, Ore. — A Northwest holiday tradition is back! ZooLights, presented by U.S. Bank, opens Nov. 22 at the Oregon Zoo, showcasing a winter wonderland of more than 1.5 million brightly colored lights. This year, there are two ways to illuminate […]
(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced today that it filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit on behalf of OpenTheBooks.com against the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) for the employment contracts; financial, conflict of interest, and confidentiality disclosure documents; and job description of National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Director Anthony S. Fauci, M.D., […]
A California longshoreman, who works at California’s San Pedro Bay Port Complex, said labor unions are exacerbating the supply chain crisis. The longshoreman, identified to the media only as Alfred, blamed Pacific Maritime Association (PMA) for “cutting the work” at the port, which is forcing contain ships to remain at sea. “They’re [PMA] the ones…crane […]
Epidemiologists Find CDC Study Contains Major Error Auckland, NZ In a new peer-reviewed Rapid Communication published in Science, Public Health Policy & the Law, scientists affiliated with the University of Auckland Epidemiology and Biostatistics division in the School of Population Health report that the US CDC made a grave error in its own report on […]
If Attorney General Merrick Garland learned anything from his House grilling last week, you wouldn’t know it by the encore. Six days after he bombed in front of the lower chamber, embarrassing himself and calling the integrity of his entire department into question, Garland didn’t seem eager to change people’s first impressions. His second trip […]
Dr. Ben Carson is one of the most distinguished surgeons in American history. He’s also a man raised in a single-parent home where his mother required him to write two book reports every week. Carson went on to earn his medical degree and become our country’s leading pediatric neurosurgeon. He understands that with God’s help, […]
Democrats inflate the Federal labor force almost as reliably as they inflate our money supply. In effect, they print new job positions the same way they print new dollars, with total disregard for their declining value. Whether more government workers are actually needed or not has no bearing on this process, because each new Federal […]
Lord Jesus, you alone have the authority over life and death. As transhumanists seek to usurp this role, help us remember you are in complete control. Victor Frankenstein’s lab is alive and fully operational in 2021. From chimeras to cyborgs, today’s scientists are treading on dangerous ground. It’s like we are living in the Age […]
Justice Clarence Thomas has distinguished himself as a rigorous jurist on the Supreme Court. He is also distinguished as a long-serving member—with 30 years on the bench, he is the 16th longest-serving justice of the 115 men and women who have served on the court. Should he continue to serve through May 20, 2028, he […]
Abba Father – Help us to be brave. Help us to take our stand. Help us to trust in You, and not man. Strengthen our faith, our hands, help us build the wall through prayer, intercession and song and embrace Your one true love that sends our fear packing. Help us to pray for all […]
Joe Biden might not have a plan for the border, inflation, COVID, China, or the supply chain crisis, but don’t worry! He has one thing under control. The president, who’s up to his clenched fists in political problems, seems to think the best distraction for his messes is talking about the one thing he hasn’t […]
President Biden’s “townhall” meeting this past week was a disaster. From his bizarre poses to the incoherent answers, it seemed to confirm America’s worst fears about a president we are told was elected by the most voters ever. Though he didn’t bother campaigning, we are to believe he somehow motivated the most voters in history […]
The Department of Justice’s decision to investigate school board meetings where parents are protesting the implementation of Critical Race Theory as instances of “domestic terrorism” was sparked by an unsanctioned letter from the National School Board Association senior staff, the board completely in the dark on the move. In early October, the organization Parents Defending […]
Received one dose only? You’re Unvaccinated. Two doses? Wait another 14 days. If you survive, congratulations. You’re fully vaccinated. Everywhere I turn I see claims of COVID-19 vaccine efficacy and safety from studies in the US that defy all logic and reason. The results are the opposite of those seen in the UK and Israel. […]
Acadia National Park has been on my bucket list for years. It’s far from home in Gresham and out of the way even in New England. But in early October of this year my wife and I along with another couple planned a Fall Leaves Trip. From Portland, OR to Portland, MA is a long […]
As education throughout the United States suffers the effects of an increasing ideological and cultural divide, more parents, students and educators are calling for a simple, technological fix: cameras in the classroom. Capitol Resource Institute (CRI) and Nevada Family Alliance (NFA) are leading a nationwide campaign calling for cameras in all K-12 public school classrooms, […]
Abortion has returned to the headlines thanks to Texas’ “heartbeat law.” As the name suggests, this law outlaws abortions performed after doctors can detect a fetal heartbeat. This is one of several recently passed state laws restricting abortion. The US Supreme Court will soon consider a challenge to a Mississippi law banning abortions after 15 […]
As many have noted, our God given rights are now steadily being suppressed in the name of a very old delusion with the new and catchy name of “Equity.” Free speech was perhaps first on the chopping block, and it continues to be hacked away. A few days ago Ocasio Cortez and her “Squad” announced […]
For years, cattle ranchers across the country have had to tolerate rock-bottom prices paid for the cattle they raise, even as the cost of beef at grocery stores kept climbing. This has moved some cattle ranchers to affect change. A group of independent cattlemen is embarking on a project to bring beef processing back to […]
When Jesus answered the disciples’ questions about end-times, He described a fearful period in history: environmental upheavals, violence among people groups and between nations, persecution of believers. But, instead of being frightened when we see those things (or hear them on nightly newscasts), we should realize that the Lord’s return is getting closer. “When these […]
The English dictionary gives several synonyms for the word “will:” such as, “choice, discretion, determination, purpose, command, direction, desire,” etc. The Greek word translated “will” in this study means “that faculty of the mind by which is determined either to do or not to do something.” All humans have a will; some strong, some weak; […]
Asian elephant family takes part in the Oregon Zoo’s annual Squishing of the Squash Some of the world’s largest land animals demolished some of the area’s largest pumpkins today, during the Oregon Zoo’s 23rd annual Squishing of the Squash. With physical distancing requirements and restrictions on large gatherings in place, the zoo wasn’t able to […]
Father, thank You for state school boards who value their relationships with parents. We ask that parent’s voices will be heard, and we ask You to protect our children’s hearts and minds. At least 11 state-level school boards have distanced themselves from the National School Boards Association (NSBA) after it pushed for federal law enforcement […]

DeSantis Offers the Solution to Supply-Chain Back Log At California Ports! While Governor Newsom has an estimated 500,000 shipping containers sitting on cargo ships off the Southern California coast, DeSantis says…bring your ships to Florida’s East Coast and unload here! Ports in Los Angeles and Long Beach, California, recently broke records for the number of […]
BELLEVUE, WA – Authorities in Washington’s King County—epicenter of the Northwest’s gun prohibition movement—are alarmed at the continued rise in gun-related homicides and shooting incidents, but nowhere has anyone acknowledged that gun control laws they have supported are an utter failure, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms said today. “Nothing […]
Lord, we ask You to end this sickening practice. Help us as a nation to realize how horrific this is. We ask for accountability, and we ask You to have mercy on us. End abortion in America, Lord God. It was reported earlier this year that the University of Pittsburgh used…grants from Dr. Anthony Fauci’s National […]
It was when schools shut down in 2021, and parents saw what was taught to their children, the earth began to shake. Yes, they saw the promotion of so-called “anti-racism” curriculum, mixed in with pornographic sexuality lessons. While students are taught to disrespect their parents and hide their private lives from them, they are now […]
The UK Has Admitted the COVID-19 Vaccines Has Failed and It’s All Hands on Deck for Treatment. When Will the US Wake Up? The University of Oxford has published results which show that early treatment with inhaled budesonide shortens recovery time by a median of three days in patients with COVID-19 who are at higher […]
The incredible cruelty and folly of forced vaccines finally came home to roost. The vaccine mandate backlash has been bubbling just under the surface, but now it has spilled out into the open, threatening to completely derail an already crumbling economy and to obliterate a deeply unpopular US President and Administration. Seemingly out of nowhere […]
Just over a year ago the Portland City Council cut millions from the police bureau, eliminating 84 positions. Prior to April 2021, 115 police officers left the bureau to either retire early or work in a different city, leaving 129 vacancies. Those absences are being felt across the Metro area. Portland police responded to 14 […]
When the phone rang, it was every father’s worst nightmare. Come to campus, a school official said, your daughter has been assaulted. No one told Scott Smith that she had been sexually assaulted — that a boy wearing a skirt had walked into the girls’ restroom and raped his 15-year-old child. Then, imagine your anger […]
On October 24, 1861, workers completed construction of the link connecting eastern and western telegraph networks of the nation at Salt Lake City, Utah, completing a transcontinental line that for the first time allowed instantaneous communication between Washington, D.C., and San Francisco, and effectively put an end to the Pony Express. The idea behind the […]
These are the times that try men’s souls – not a quote from me, although the wisdom of it for this day is definitely present. It would seem that COVID-19 has been reckoned with successfully. Yet the fear factor is being played to the hilt. I am of the polio generation, standing in a huge […]
“Autumn…the year’s last, loveliest smile.”— William Cullen Bryant I’m looking out my kitchen window at Mt. Hood on the day before the first day of autumn and see no indication of any change of color in the trees. I imagine by the time you read this, there will be a riot of color as the […]
Remember mandates are not laws. Anything that goes against the constitution of the United States, and or Laws on Record do not supersede the law. For example, an official such as a Mayor or Governor can mandate that all people who where blue on Monday’s be enslaved. That mandate is illegal, absurd, and against the […]
Let’s Get Down to the Basics Believe it or not, this is not a political post. It’s not an attempt to draw people into the Libertarian Party. It’s a reflection of what I see has happened and is happening. At the very least, it will make you think. In most states in the US, when […]
Over the course of more than 25 years, Metro’s parks and nature program has developed a long record of failing to serve its constituents. Since the parks and nature program launched, the Metro regional government has received close to $1 billion in funding and purchased more than 14,000 acres of land. Yet, only 12% of […]
Jesus had just said, “‘If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him. If he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times comes back to you and says, ‘I repent,’ forgive him.’ The apostles said to the Lord, ‘Increase our faith!’ He replied, ‘If you have faith as […]
The Energy & Commerce markup of the spendthrift $3.5 trillion reconciliation bill includes $150 million in grant funding for “bias, racism, or discrimination programs” for nurses and other nursing initiatives. “Developing curriculum for students seeking to enter careers focused on maternal and perinatal health that includes training programs on bias, racism, or discrimination,” the Energy […]
What began as “two-weeks to flatten the curve” has morphed into blatant fear mongering, unethical mandates and a state of emergency with no end in sight despite a 99.6% recovery rate in Americans under 65 as confirmed by the CDC. For almost two years now the news has been dominated by one story: a global […]
An interview with Clackamas County Commissioner Mark Shull concerning Executive Powers, vaccine passports, the Patriot Act and the growth of bureaucratic overreach that now threaten individual rights granted by our U.S. and Oregon State Constitutions. The Covid-19 breakout reached worldwide attention by January 2020. The number of cases grew rapidly worldwide over a short period […]
NIH. CDC. FDA. EPA. ACIP People embedded in the US government regulatory agencies with first loyalties to corporate profits are destroying America. It’s time to throw the bums out. George Washington, the first President of the United State of America, set a tradition by declining to serve more than two terms. Franklin Delano Roosevelt held […]
Oregon elected officials and appointed staff love to claim they base their decisions on the best and most accurate data available. A recent Oregon Department of Transportation study demonstrates that this often isn’t the case. In fact, staff are knowingly using inaccurate data to reach seemingly favorable conclusions. ODOT’s Climate Office Program Manager admitted in […]
Believing the unbelievable has consequences, sometimes very bad consequences. We expect our public officials to have IQs greater than shoe size and therefore to make wise decisions. That is increasingly not the case. And no political party (on the Left or Right) has a monopoly on stupidity. The British and their European allies are a […]
People are tired of the lies, the propaganda and fear machines, yet, they look for the next fake fear news like it’s going to somehow be true. Watch Senator Rand Paul (who is a licensed Medical Doctor) grill the HHS chief Xavier Becerra (who is not a scientist, nor doctor) regarding the facts on Natural […]
The Biden Department of Health & Human Services (HHS), wants to reinstate an Obama-era regulation that allowed labor unions to skim an estimated $1 billion from Medicaid payments to home healthcare providers. The proposal “will place a federal stamp of approval on abusive state and union practices to pressure, mislead, and ultimately lock home healthcare […]
Scientists are shocked when a new sea creature is discovered that’s able to live in complete darkness under tons of pressure at the bottom of the deepest sea. God is not shocked. These fish are not new discoveries to Him. He created the odd-looking creatures, and only His eyes have seen them for thousands of […]
Oregon – Free Oregon, Inc. (501c4) is a civil rights advocacy organization and Chief Petitioner in a lawsuit filed on September 27, 2021 against the State of Oregon and the Oregon Health Authority.

BELLEVUE, WA –From the Citizens Committee For The Right To Keep And Bear Arms (CCRKBA) The FBI Uniform Crime Report for 2020 indicates that armed private citizens killed more criminals during the commission of a felony than were killed by police, and the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms says this […]
Dishonest LGBT activists made it a national media story, then defaced a local church. But local citizens refuse to be intimidated, and stand even stronger! Outside the library the message was very direct. And it got results! Even in conservative northeast Wyoming, LGBT activists are aggressive in their efforts to proselytize children – and vicious […]
Dobbs v. Jackson is the most important abortion case since Roe v. Wade, and with the recent Texas abortion ban, this could be the case to overturn Roe. The prayer rally, organized by Stanton Public Policy Center/Purple Sash Revolution, will be held at the Supreme Court on Saturday, October 2, from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. […]
Father, thank You for those who painstakingly engaged in this audit. We ask for a higher level of integrity in all of our elections, and that breaches in the process will be corrected. I think all of us–both sides–may have misunderstood what the audit of the 2020 presidential election in Maricopa County, AZ intended to […]

During the past 18 months, parents have taken a hard look at their children’s schools and considered whether or not their students’ educational needs were being met.

People say it’s hard to find consensus in Washington, but Democrats have found plenty on one issue: abortion. At least in the House, the idea of middle ground has vanished. When it comes to the taking of innocent life, the battlelines are clear: Republicans are 100-percent opposed, and all but one Democrat is in favor. […]
In 2016, the press had been instructed to manipulate polls showing that “Hillary was leading by a large margin,” so there would be no surprise when she won; but the American People voted Trump in, by a landslide. The Deep State (DP) was not happy with that outcome. The 2020 election was similar — with […]
This author is among the more-than-81-million disenfranchised Americans who voted legally in the November 2020 Presidential Election. Still today, we remain mad as hell, confused, depressed and disillusioned; considering the U.S. Constitution in a “just democracy” — how can our government’s Legislative and Judicial Branches allow this degree of disenfranchisement to stand? Who is intimidating […]

This is the troopship HMS Queen Elizabeth. Both the QE and Queen Mary were used as troop transports during and after the Second World War.

Last week, I attended my first out-of-state conference in nearly two years. This week, Portland City Council is considering an emergency ordinance banning the city and its employees from doing business with the State of Texas. The ordinance is in response to a new Texas law effectively banning abortion in the state. What do these […]
As the IFA staff prayed about the Texas law that took effect this week, we were struck by the power of some faithful people who believe in a big God and have done what people said could not be done. A new Texas state law regulating abortion (Texas Heartbeat Act) was enacted in May 2021 […]
Quite a few years ago, I was invited to make some presentations at a business conference being held at the Skamania Lodge in Stevenson, Washington. Since I had never been to Skamania, and was still relatively new to Oregon/Washington, I asked for directions on how best to get there. “Easy!” said the meeting coordinator. “Just […]
The rapid collapse of Afghanistan under an onslaught of religious fanatics with primitive weapons was completely predictable. Yet President Biden maintained that it would not happen, as we closed our largest military base (Bagram air base), reduced our military presence, and eliminated our offensive capability in the middle of Afghanistan’s summer fighting season. We have […]
About 3,844 years ago when the entire human race worshiped pagan gods, God called Abram (later Abraham) out from that morass of sin and promised him his progeny would become a great nation; He would bless those who bless him and curse those who curse him and all nations of the earth would be blessed […]
Down through history, America has not always treated women well. Today, with the horrific things that are happening to girls and women in Afghanistan, I thought this would be an appropriate time to review how Jesus interacted with women. Adulterer (John 8): Men had set this woman up to catch her in the act of […]

In this summer’s Olympic Games, Oregon natives Kim Hill and Ryan Crouser showed up, pushed themselves, and earned gold medals. Those medals have meaning—to them, to their team, and to their country. You don’t get that kind of meaning with a participation trophy. It’s too bad the state’s governor and legislature seem to disagree. On […]
Oregon Governor Brown bullies Superintendent Marc Thielman, with special needs and disabled adopted daughter Molly, accuses him of being “callous and offensive” toward disabled children, neglects to research that nearly 30% of students at the Alsea School District are actually special needs or disabled. August 24, 2021—Last Tuesday, Oregon Governor Kate Brown sent out a […]

This article begins with a bottom line, simplified truth and then shows the article that supports the truth that […]
OR IS PRESIDENT TRUMP BUSY SAVING AMERICA AGAIN? People keep saying Trump is pushing the jab and Trump took the Jab and why is Trump pushing the Jab when all the information shows it’s toxic. Let’s address this… I have never heard him say he took a vaccine until last night. The fake news pushing […]
Everyone in this world wants to be loved. That’s just how we are put together. We need people who honestly care about us. Each of us needs a friend with whom we can share the joys of the good times and the hurts of the bad times. This article is about having that kind of […]
With the incredible failure in planning and leadership, not to mention the almost belligerent reluctance to act on the part of the Biden administration on the issue of Afghanistan – and the subsequent posturing by the mainstream media and the political Left, the time has arrived for serious self-examination. What have we become as a […]
Oregon – Free Oregon, Inc. defends American civil liberties in Oregon by announcing its intent to launch, what is expected to be, the largest “Takings” case in state history. A “Taking” is when the government seizes personal property and does not compensate the citizen at fair market value. This unprecedented class-action lawsuit is against the […]
Friday afternoon, August 14, 2021 Oregon State Representative Lisa Reynolds (D) Portland, Oregon, took to Twitter, calling for vaccine requirements in order to maintain inherent rights. “A 0.3ml injection- a few drops of modern medical science-should be required to eat indoors at a restaurant, to sit in a classroom, to work in person” reads Reynolds […]
Politicians have a lot in common with magicians. Both rely on misdirection to ensure that you don’t see how the trick is performed. One magic show receiving a lot of attention right now is HB 2021, passed by the state legislature in June. HB 2021 outlaws the use of fossil fuels for new electricity power […]

U.S. Navy Admiral Hyman Rickover once said “If you are going to sin, sin against God, not the bureaucracy. God will forgive you, but the bureaucracy won’t.” His words today describe the bureaucratic holy war that has engulfed Clackamas County officials by their failing attempt to force Commissioner Mark Shull from office. The shock of […]

Aug 10 – The Senate Armed Services Committee approved last month a National Defense Authorization Act that includes a requirement that women register with Selective Service on their 18th birthday.

Separating myth from reality about extreme weather events today and over the centuries Deadly floods in Germany and Belgium have put climate change back in the news in time for the COP-26 climate gabfest in Glasgow.

Lord, may Americans be a people committed to truth. Please open our eyes to see truth and see through deepfakes and other deception. How many times have people told you that they will only believe something if they can see it? No one wants to be “had,” and wariness of being played for a fool […]
Lord God, thank You that You have granted us certain unalienable rights. Help us to walk in that freedom. Give us strength to stand when our rights are challenged.

Today, on Fox News, multiple shows — Stewart Varney & Co., Mornings With Maria Bartiromo, and the America’s News Desk — are airing our investigation into big city mayors who defunded their police, while spending millions of their own police protection. Last week, Emily Compagno at Fox News showcased our report in full segments on: […]
July 26 – The recent felony conviction and eight month prison sentence of January 6th protester Paul Hodgkins is an affront to any notion of justice. It is a political charge and a political verdict by a political court. Every American regardless of political persuasion should be terrified of a court system so beholden to politics instead […]

Reading the first pages of the New Testament, you encounter the genealogy of Jesus Christ. Many people skim over these names. Yet, the Spirit of God purposely included five women in this list of 39 men. The fifth one is Mary, the mother of Jesus. But who were the other four? Tamar – She was […]
Lord, we pray for our divided Nation. Division is not from you, we pray against this spirit and pray for unity in America. Sen.

Oregonians are struggling to pay their utility bills. So then why are Kate Brown and the Public Utility Commission allowing their rates to go up? Residential arrearages for all energy utilities in Oregon have increased throughout the pandemic. To be in arrears means a customer’s bill is 31 or more days past due. Total residential […]
God is moving! Lord, we pray for all the unborn children. We pray that governmental leaders would see the value of life, and that they would encounter your love in a way that changes everything.

We pray that you would continue to protect the schools all throughout America, and that this would be the beginning of revival in our education system. Hillsdale College is a small institution with lofty values: “Goodness, Truth, and Beauty.” Now, the college is […]
Some people think it is somehow disparaging of the cross of Christ to admit that Christ-followers still sin. In their desire to magnify the greatness of the Lord’s salvation, they give the impression that if a person receives Christ, their struggles with sin will come to an end. It’s true that the Holy Spirit changes […]
Our last study covered Romans 8:1 – 11, recapping the good news that there is no judgement against believers in Christ Jesus who formerly were sinners condemned to death.

She started a school for African-American girls with $1.50. The school bordered the town dump. Make-shift desks and chairs were made from discarded crates and boxes.

My breakfast is getting later and later, even though I am arriving in the kitchen earlier and earlier. This is all due to the fact that my lovely deck has become a short order café! And I do mean short, as I have yet to see a tall squirrel. I am a real sucker for […]
The Columbia River runs silently without fanfare past our backyard. I have driven along it hundreds of times and never seriously considered its history. Much like having my 88 year old grandmother living with us until her death when I was 15, I never gave a thought about asking her about her family, childhood, or […]
What is it that makes America strong? Is it our vast land, our democratic way of governing, or could it be our entrepreneurial spirit? My wager is on the latter. While it is true that we’ve been blessed with rich real estate, it is the individual that must cultivate the land. And it’s also true […]
The unprecendented Pacific Northwest heat wave reached 108oF on June 26, 112oF the next day, and then the new record temperature of 116oF on June 28 in Portland.

A proposed ordinance aims to deprioritize some homeless camps considered “low impact” This week, Portland City Council will consider new rules for homeless camp clean-ups.

Light rail has problems with reliability despite massive government funding. The U.S. Postal Service boasts that “neither snow nor rain nor heat” can keep mail carriers from swiftly completing their rounds; TriMet’s MAX Light Rail service can make no such claim. Last week, the heatwave brought temperatures well into the 100s, causing MAX services to […]

Because the global temperature has been very close to normal for several months, most people will wonder about a “Great Heat Wave,” except those who live in the Pacific Northwest.

Like a Great White silently sneaks up on an unsuspecting swimmer, the green-eyed monster of jealousy sneaks up on us from the depths of the human heart with a vicious bite. The Prophet Jonah experienced jealousy after he had announced to Nineveh that God’s judgment would fall on the city in forty days. The Assyrians […]
Program aims to bolster threatened populations of rare Oregon Silverspot butterfly It’s Pollinator Week, and at the Oregon Zoo’s butterfly conservation lab, nap time is over for hundreds of the zoo’s tiniest residents.

Science and Their Genetic Coding are like children playing in a sand box shouting, “Look, I have discovered how to make a sea shore! Come and play with me.” But, trust me, it is no child’s play. It is sinister and not being done “For the GOOD OF MANKIND”. The Big Pharma, CDC and WHO […]
Recently, a student of Justice High School in Fairfax, Virginia led the graduation ceremony in the Pledge of Allegiance. In this public school setting, when she got to the part about “one nation under God,” she said, instead, “one nation under Allah.” This was apparently without any permission from school officials. The idea of “one nation under […]
The first verse of Romans chapter 8 sums up the previous 3 chapters: “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus,” Romans 8:1. (The King James Version [KJV] adds the phrase “who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.” The New International Version [NIV] is correct in omitting this […]
The propaganda war continues and anyone with an opposing view is censored. BIO WARFARE IS REAL! According to world-renowned American cardiologist Dr. Peter McCullough, deaths from the Covid vaccine in the United States would not be 5,000, as official figures indicate. It would be 50,000. 10 times more. Dr. McCullough claims to have received the […]
I believe the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) policy meeting on June 1st was the most mean spirited Commission meeting I have witnessed since January when it censored Commissioner Mark Shull. The Commissioners collectively cast aside the serious subject, namely vaccine passports, that he brought brought forth, and used his resolution document to yet again […]
There can be no doubt that Marxism is on the move in the United States. Those who have been paying attention to history understand that its introduction into our culture started at the turn of the 20th Century and has encroached into our society incrementally ever since. When the Framers created the Republic – through […]
Lord, on Sunday, June 13, the Day of Prayer for Police, we thank You for protecting our cities, our states, and our nations. Protect our law-abiding officers as they keep us safe, standing in the gap, between good and evil. According to a new report, the Minneapolis Police Department stands to lose 20% of their […]
Lord, we pray that You would help us put a stop to the lethal targeting of prenatal little ones diagnosed with Down syndrome and other disabilities. Two-thirds of prenatal babies diagnosed with Down syndrome are aborted in this nation. And 20 U.S. senators this week demanded action to protect them. In a letter to U.S. […]
Thursday, FRC’s Senior Fellow for Education Studies Meg Kilgannon testified before the Department of Education against proposed changes by the Biden administration that could destroy Title IX protections for girls’ sports, result in the indoctrination of children, and entrench harmful transgender ideologies that threaten the health of children and the rights of parents. As Meg […]
A member of our church loaned me the book, “Fearfully and Wonderfully Made” by surgeon Dr. Paul Brand. He parallels the wonders of the human anatomy and physiology to the body of Christ. The more you study the human body, the more you see clear evidence that it is not the result of mindless evolution, […]
Exodus 20:4-6 “You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, I am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sins […]
One thing was for sure: they didn’t come to be quiet. The parents of Loudoun County, Virginia who were packed into every available chair at Tuesday’s school board meeting were angry. For months, they’d been warring with the district over its woke curriculum in a feud so bitter that it made the national news. But […]
On Saturday, police responded to a call that a man was in the middle of I-84, swinging a pipe at cars. As police approached, the man jumped the freeway barrier onto the MAX tracks, where he got creamed by a train and was pronounced dead at the scene. But there’s more. Just two hours earlier, […]
On Thursday, Senator Kim Thatcher (R-Keizer) introduced civil rights legislation to ban vaccine passports in Oregon. SB 872 would prohibit public and private entities from conditioning service or employment opportunities based on vaccination status or the possession of a vaccine credential. The anti-discrimination legislation would also ban the government from preventing Oregonians from exercising first […]
My wife and I grew up in the Yakima Valley, more precisely the Lower Valley in Wapato, Washington. So we have made dozens of trips home from Gresham since 1970. The drive is always a pleasure with the rare exception of a Gorge ice storm. The first leg is the Columbia River Gorge. Mountains, rivers, […]
Lord God, please preserve our freedom to choose the medical treatments and procedures we want and to say no to those we don’t want. There is much in the news about vaccine passports and Covid vaccine mandates causing fear and concern among many. But fortunately there are growing number of proposed bills in many states […]
Many voters who voted Republican in the Nov. 2020 election believe that it was stolen and that Biden and Harris are illegitimate occupiers of the White House. The Democrats and the mainstream media call this “The Big Lie.” Following is evidence to the contrary. The three categories of evidence are somewhat arbitrary. I believe the […]
Resurrected mammoths, genetically-modified mosquitoes, designer babies, and transplantable animal organs–these are just a few of the things that are possible through a new technology known as CRISPR-Cas9. This “coded” word has been all the buzz in the medical community for years now. Pronounced “crisper” for short, this revolutionary gene editing technology has been touted as […]
By adopting a near-zero assumed rate of return, PERS can become solvent in the next decade No one wants to talk about the biggest problem facing Oregon. It’s not the pandemic. It’s not homelessness. It’s not racial justice. The biggest crisis facing Oregon is its public employee retirement system, or PERS. No one wants to […]
We said this from the first moment it happened. But, the evil fake news and liar Pelosi, Schumer, McConnell paid cabal puppets lied and bore false witness!

Rand Paul says he has exposed the truth about Dr. Fauci. First he funded the Wuhan lab that potentially created the COVID-19 virus. Then he lied to our faces, repeatedly, while he profited from the pandemic. And this was met with retaliation. “They want me silenced FOR GOOD”, he says. “Just this week they sent […]
Of all the problems facing our nation right now, there are two that rise above all the others, and, therefore, two imperatives that if not resolved, Americans will lose the ability to change the trajectory of our country and retain our freedoms. Imperative One The first imperative is that the 2020 presidential and senatorial elections […]
It is almost the same story, time and again. Most people prefer to trust rather than verify, opening the door to fraud, sometimes fraud on an incredible scale. Just a little competent checking might have prevented monumental disasters. Did anyone note the recent passing of one of the most brazen con men of all time: […]
I have the best job in the world. It’s not because I’m paid a lot of money. It’s not because I’m famous, or because people tell me what a wonderful thing I’m doing. It’s not even because I think I’m helping to make the world a better place. Maybe I should just tell you what […]
I have not met many people who do not heed the portent of dreams. It seems to start when we are young. We can have nightmares and we can have dreams of people we love. We can dream of important events in our lives. Dreams can comfort us, be thought provoking, and of course a […]
Scientists are seeking Yamhill County water bodies for pond turtle survey Yamhill County property owners are being asked to help search for a rare Pacific Northwest native reptile: the northwestern pond turtle, also known as the western pond turtle.

The race is on for a reliable power grid. A newly redeveloped model used by the Northwest Power and Conservation Council to calculate annual loss of load probability (LOLP) shows significantly higher LOLP in 2023 compared to previous predictions. The LOLP calculates the likelihood that utilities will have to take some kind of emergency measure […]
New policies will artificially deflate “breakthrough infections” in the vaccinated, while the old rules continue to inflate case numbers in the unvaccinated. The US Center for Disease Control (CDC) is altering its practices of data logging and testing for “Covid19” in order to make it seem the experimental gene-therapy “vaccines” are effective at preventing the […]
When I moved to Boring, Oregon, 46 years ago, it did not take long for all my friends who lived in other places to ask with a smirk, “Is it boring in Boring?” I soon tired of the plethora of jokes and puns about Boring—some of them not printable in a family newspaper like the […]
The most wonderful part of the property I live on is not the view of Mt. Hood, although that is spectacular indeed. Nor is it the wealth of wildlife that trapse through on a weekly basis depending on the season and the weather. Nope – it is my utterly beloved bullfrogs. For some reason, last […]
This article does not favor one candidate over another; rather, this article favors a return to the U.S. Constitution — assuring that all Americans have the right to fair elections [ i.e., only one vote from each legal (living) voter. Period ]. In my May 4 Northwest Connection editorial, I described how the November 2020 […]
Many books have been written about David and Bathsheba, scathing the king for his abusive power in demanding she visit his bedroom, and the dire consequences his one-night-stand had on his family. In judgment, God told David that the son of that tryst would die shortly after birth. The Bible records David’s pleading with God […]
Before our we get into the 7th chapter of Romans, a review of what leads up to it is in order. Romans 5:1 – 2 reads: “Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand and […]

The problem with allowing politicians and other non-scientists to practice science is that they have no idea what they are doing and may get things so dreadfully wrong that vast numbers of people are seriously harmed. To the politically inclined, science is a means to an end, not the end in itself. Real scientists are […]
On the evening of November 3rd 2020, most of us went to bed, concluding that, for better or worse, President Trump had been re-elected. Florida and Ohio not only had Trump leading, but amazingly he was leading by double-digits in both States; during the past 70+ years — whichever political party had this level of […]
Rapid expansion Of God’s glorious grace; Sounds of a rushing, mighty wind My soul doth now embrace; The Spirit descending
2 Chronicles 7:14 is a very popular verse on Facebook right now and for good reason. Many God fearing People are concerned that our nation might be in severe trouble in many ways but especially morally. I agree and share that same concern. We definitely seem to be in deep doo doo and the coarse […]
Talking to yourself is not a sign of mental instability. In fact, it is a discipline that every Christian needs to develop. When feelings of anxiety or despondency sweep over us like a sneaker wave at the beach, the Bible advises us to rehearse what is true, getting our eyes off our emotions and back […]
While other states continue to open and show a decrease in hospitalizations and COVID-19 cases, like Texas has demonstrated so clearly, the Oregon state Governor, Kate Brown, met with county officials on Friday to prepare them for a possible new, three-week lockdown, despite the minimal COVID impact Oregon has seen when measured against other state […]
In an audio recording leaked to a London-based news channel, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif explains that he learned of “at least” 200 Israeli attacks on Iranian targets in Syria, not from security personnel in his own government, but from former U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry. As Obama’s top U.S. diplomat, Kerry who […]
Lord, where there is corruption; expose it. Where there is truth; reveal it. We trust You, Lord.

Experts say the NIH grant describes […]

A growing area of debate in America today centers around the Second Amendment, and more specifically, the ownership of various types of guns by average citizens.

The original Pittock estate was comprised of 46 acres of […]
There is a great deal of interest today about exploring one’s ancestry. When did my predecessors come to this country? Have there been any distinguished or notorious people in my background? Have there been any scandals among my forebears? My own surname, Furtado, is a common name in Portugal. It means “thief” or “illegitimate”. Likely […]
Our previous study noted the word “God” in the phrase “God forbid” in the King James Version (KJV) in Romans 6:2 and Romans 6:15 is not in the original manuscripts, whereas the Greek actually translate into English as “let it not be.”* Thus, believers are warned: “let it not be” that we live any longer […]
Americans should be outraged their government participates in the wide-scale human trafficking operation that created a market for harvesting the organs of murdered infants. From an article written by Edie Heipel April 15, 2021, we are made aware that last week, the legal accountability group Judicial Watch dropped a bombshell: a nearly 600-page report proving the U.S. […]
Should we breach Northwest hydropower dams to replenish native fish species on the Columbia or continue benefiting from hydro’s cheap and reliable power? With the innovative Whooshh Fish Passage System, our region wouldn’t have to choose between the two. And, yes, the company is really called “Whoosh.” The system is set up alongside dams to […]
How many people have to die? Well according to main stream news 1 person. But we all know there are hundreds reported and most who are tracking world wide we are all over the place with numbers in the thousands. These are reports of healthy people from toddlers on up to healthy men and women […]
Curiously Large political contribution raises questions When Commissioner Sonya Fischer was asked questions by me regarding her campaign fund receiving $10,000 a month ago in one transaction, she ignored the subject. Her snubbing of the questions occurred at two consecutive Clackamas County Commissioners ( BCC ) meetings. The questions are simply: 1. Are you participating […]
Father, where there is deception and evil uncover it. Open our eyes to see clearly as You do. The WHO made pronouncements that protected China and blocked the world from the truth, leading to catastrophic consequences. Now they are being called on to pay the piper. A group of lawyers has gotten together and is […]
Father, do not let the children in this nation continue to be deceived about their gender or identity. May Your Word and Truth be louder than the lies that are being preached the younger generations about this topic. We need you father! This article by Keira Bell is not from a Christian perspective, but we […]
Father, help more parents and others to take a stand for how the children in our nation are being educated in our school systems. We need You Father; combat this evil with Your truth and raise up teachers who will proclaim You. We love this story of someone who stood up to the woke mob […]
Every current member of the Military Joint Chiefs of Staff was appointed by Trump during his time in office. If the Biden Administration was truly in power, these members would no longer hold their positions, and would’ve been removed, since every one of them is a Trump loyalist. I wonder why none of them have […]
“I stand by my statements about Smartmatic today I believe every allegation I have made,” Powell said in her statement to the court. “Smartmatic’s desperate attempt to suggest I was a part of a civil conspiracy to harm the company is not only false but also still does not allow me to be sued in […]
Her life hadn’t turned out anything like she had dreamed when she was a young girl. Instead of having her own family, along with a servant to help with housework, she was someone else’s servant in their home. Like a piece of jewelry, she was given as a gift to a foreign couple and taken […]
“What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?” Romans 6:1 – 2. These rhetorical questions are a linchpin that transitions from doctrine in previous chapters to the practical application that follows. The last three verses of […]
The title for this column is taken from the opening lines of T.S. Eliot’s signature poem The Waste Land: “April is the cruelest month, breeding Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing Memory and desire, stirring Dull roots with spring rain. Winter kept us warm, covering Earth in forgetful snow, feeding A little life with […]
It was way back in 1953 when the venerable Chapel of Mary, centerpiece of The Grotto, Portland’s renown Catholic Shrine, was built. Now, thanks to what Communications Director Jane Tokito affirms are “generous donations from many donors over the course of several decades,” the first major renovation in the chapel’s 68-year history is underway. Grotto […]
The familiar scene opens to the gathering of ominous storm clouds.

Using phony “transparency” and “dialogue” to target auto racing, then all fossil fuel use Biden-Harris Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Michael Regan is clearly on a mission. He has “bold aspirations, and a long to-do list,” says The Washington Post. But to succeed, the Post acknowledges, he must “help the EPA get its groove back.” As […]

Say your roof is leaking and you call a roofer for a quote. If they say “I’ll have to charge you the highest rate in the region” before saying hello, you’d probably just hang up. Oregon’s leaky roof is infrastructure spending. Instead of hanging up the phone, Oregon’s legislators may force every contractor to charge […]
Young polar bear will be out this week, but viewing opportunities will be up to her PORTLAND, Ore. — She made a big splash when she arrived here in 2016, and we missed her big-time when she went away. Now, as the Oregon Zoo puts the finishing touches on its new Polar Passage habitat, Nora the […]
Not that I was making other plans. I am still in the throes of being a widow. My husband passed away unexpectedly. Doctors can make mistakes. We like to think they know what they are talking about, but it’s not always correct. Women like to master the art of second guessing their husbands thus giving […]
As Oregon students return to the classrooms, watch out for a new fad that could make our state’s academic performance even worse. That fad is known as the “four day school week.” Oregon is one of only nine states that allows four day school weeks and more than 130 districts operate on a four-day schedule. […]
This is a tale about mad scientists or mad ‘wanna-be’ scientists who have the money and/or power to implement their very dangerous ideas. It is a cautionary tale about the great dangers we face from those who claim to understand science, but frequently have no idea even what science is, let alone understand its complexity. […]

McEnany’s […]
On January 11, 2021 a thunderclap of Woke resounded across the Portland metropolitan area that jolted correct thinking progressives as far as Salem. A Democrat Party Oregon House District leader uncovered “anti-immigrant, Islamophobic and transphobic” posts on Facebook just days before by newly elected Clackamas County Commissioner Mark Shull. These posts, allegedly racist, numbering approximately […]
In the Book of Enoch, there is an account of all creation. The details of how God made the VISIBLE from the INVISIBLE. Isn’t that exactly what science and man is trying to understand and to recreate? Enoch reveals how God made light and dark matter that was the driving force behind all of it, […]
Bird migration is fascinating. Feather and fowl know what time of year to begin their journey. Whether migrating north or south, even though they fly hundreds or thousands of miles, they don’t get lost or sidetracked. (Can you imagine trying to drive from here to New York WITHOUT a map or compass? Oh yeah, and […]
If we allow the hateful tyranny of sin and rebellion against Christ to be established, the folly of Covid will be only the beginning of hell on earth.

Every student deserves access to a quality education. Despite the setbacks caused by closing public school buildings, many Oregon students were already struggling to succeed in the public school system before the pandemic. According to the National Association of Education Progress, only 34% of Oregon fourth-graders tested “proficient” in reading in 2019. Moreover, Oregon continues […]
At this fragile point in time, we are finally realizing that patience is the order of the day.

Last November, Oregon voters approved three ballot measures related to drug use. While all three passed by large margins, the policies themselves are contradictory.

Father God, we give thanks to You for the good legislation being proposed in various states. Encourage Your people who serve in state legislatures. Show us how to pray effectively for them, in Jesus’ name. In what can only be described as answered prayer, multiple state legislatures are introducing bills to bring election integrity to […]
Father God, let our nation’s leaders be granted wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. It’s one thing if a single news outlet publishes a fraudulent anonymously sourced “scoop.” It’s another thing entirely if multiple newsrooms claim they independently “confirmed” the fraudulent “scoop” with anonymous sources of their own. The former can reasonably be explained away as a […]
Lord, thank You for this legislation passing. We praise You for these small victories and ask that more would take place. “Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds signed significant election reform legislation on Monday. The new law decreases Iowa’s early voting period and closes polls an hour earlier on Election Day. State Sen. Roby Smith, a Republican, […]
For thousands of years these commandments have been the backbone of the Judeo-Christian community and have been a part of many governments throughout the world and the basis for many legal systems.

As another St. Patrick’s Day descends upon us, we all find our own unique ways of incorporating the vibrant color green into our day. Everyone has some Irish blood somewhere deep down in their veins, no doubt about it! As an old Irish saying goes: “There are only two kinds of people in the world, […]
In part one of this series, we read about English-born Henry Lewis Pittock’s journey with a wagon train from Pennsylvania to Oregon in 1853 where, “barefoot and penniless,” he began working for Thomas Dryer’s Weekly Oregonian newspaper. In 1860, at the age of 26, Henry married 15-year-old Georgiana Martin Burton of Missouri. Six years prior, […]
The ever-moving goal posts of leftist ideology have shifted once again, this time regarding equality. American exceptionalism derives from the concept of equality of opportunity. Such equality has diluted in meaning as the rise of woke ideology has taken over the culture and our major institutions. Calls for equality have turned into demands for equity […]
There comes a point in one’s waiting—waiting with fervent anticipation for the other shoe to drop—when we can feel that things are different. It’s a very difficult feeling to explain, but one just knows that something very significant has just happened—that the tide suddenly has shifted. And that moment is now. It had to happen […]
Dr. Carrie Madej directed two large medical clinics in the state of Georgia, USA. Since her twenties she has been fascinated by vaccines and studied them ever since.

When I was in high school and college I went out for wrestling. I know, it’s hard to believe now, but there was a time I enjoyed grappling. I didn’t know until years later that wrestling is also an activity of angels, though I doubt they have the same kind of rules and referees I […]
Lord, thank You for being actively involved in my life. Though I don’t understand Your ways at times, I sing praises to Your name. Ashes, we all know what they are. Naturally, it’s the residue left after something has burned. Biblically, ashes were a mark of grief, humiliation, and repentance. The phrase “beauty for ashes” […]
ODFW staff are planning to propose changes to the 2022 archery elk seasons to better manage elk populations and hunting pressure in popular units.

“It’s crazy we have to address it.” That was Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves’s (R) as he signed the second girls’ sports protection bill in the country. But, he pointed out, that’s where Joe Biden has forced this country: into a war over women’s rights, privacy, fairness, and competition. At least in Mississippi, he vowed, “young […]
PORTLAND, Ore. – Cascade Policy Institute submitted testimony strongly opposing Oregon Senate Bill 223, which would effectively force private schools to register with the state. The bill would ban from interscholastic activities any school that does not register. Proponents of SB 223 characterize the bill as merely a “voluntary” scheme to register private schools. But, […]
Yamhill County D.A. Brad Berry has been assigned as special prosecutor to oversee an investigation into political and religious bias in the prosecution of Joey Gibson and Russell Schultz for violation of the Oregon anti-riot statute, ORS 166.015 during a political protest held outside the former Antifa hangout known as Cider Riot in Portland. While […]
Lord God, thank You for this praise. We ask that You continue to protect our freedoms and help us to stand for what is right. That gasp heard after this ruling dropped comes from every college and university with a “free speech zone” and policies that impose heckler’s vetoes. Plaintiffs suing over restrictions on speech and […]
Father, give us Your wisdom as we discern through these vaccines. We want to honor and please you, Father. Catholic bishops across the U.S. are encouraging people to educate themselves about the COVID-19 vaccines and the link to abortion before being vaccinated.

It’s usually an administration’s cabinet nominations that get the most attention — but two senators are making the case that Joe Biden’s deputy picks may be the most controversial of the bunch. Is the president trying to slip in his most radical nominees under Americans’ noses? And just how much power do the seconds-in-command at […]
Nearly six months after the event, many survivors are just now returning to their wildfire-decimated properties to begin the process of rebuilding. While homeowner’s insurance is the primary source of funds to pay for home repairs after a major disaster, some home repairs such as private wells and/or septic systems are not typically covered. The […]
Allan E. Parker, President of The Justice Foundation, who represents thousands of women hurt by abortion states, “SB 6 is an excellent vehicle for improving the health and safety of women in Arkansas and moving towards a more just and humane society. Since Arkansas already has a Safe Haven law, as does every other state […]
While fans eagerly await the return of Nora, another bear has quietly taken up residence at the Oregon Zoo’s expansive new Polar Passage habitat. “Melting Ice Bear,” a 9-foot-tall cast aluminum sculpture by Veronica and Edwin Dam de Nogales, was lifted into place outside the habitat’s Arctic Science Center in late February and has been […]
A recent Oregonian/OregonLive editorial criticizes Metro’s lack of “vision” in implementing its homeless services measure (“Metro lacks vision for homeless services measure,” Feb. 21). In particular, the editorial questions what the measure will achieve or what “success” will look like. This should not be a surprise. Metro never had a vision for the measure. Last […]
Liberals can mock the Trump border wall they want, but three months into Joe Biden’s amnesty policy, even Democrats are sounding the alarm. Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-Texas) has been watching what’s happened along the Mexican border with absolute shock and says that if the White House doesn’t do anything, there will be an immigration “crisis” […]
They can’t say they weren’t warned. Everyone in America knew where Joe Biden stood on abortion — because he told them. In 13 debates, multiple campaign ads, and a Planned Parenthood townhall, no one had any doubt that if this man won the White House, his folksy faith talk would take a backseat to his […]
Residents from Portland, Oregon, southward to San Francisco and Los Angeles, and inland to Salt Lake City will want to keep an umbrella handy throughout the week as showers are likely to swoop in on more than one occasion. AccuWeather Global Weather Center – March 8, 2021 – As the calendar seemingly jumps to April across the eastern half of the nation this week, […]
The statewide grassroots organization Oregonians for Medical Freedom recently delivered a “Cease and Desist” letter to the Oregon Health Authority to stop the agency from spreading misinformation to the public about COVID-19 vaccines. The OHA had been falsely stating on it’s website and social media posts that the COVID-19 vaccines have been “approved by the […]
What do you picture in your mind when you hear the word, banner? A high school gymnasium with flags hanging from the ceiling depicting past state championships? A business name on some fabric blowing in the wind to attract customers? A billboard with an advertisement lifted high above the nearby traffic? These days banners come […]
A must watch video of Robert Kennedy Jr. and Reiner Füllmich and the committee of inquiry in Germany on the use of COVID-19 vaccines and the truth behind what they are doing to those who are getting them. In nursing homes, people are being forced to take them against their will, and whistle blowers report […]
You see it. You feel it. It’s as plain as the nose on your face: There is no going back, in terms of back to whatever it was that we all considered to be normal in America—indeed, in this entire world. And that’s okay—it’s better than okay. Holy Bible Prophecy shows us that things currently […]
If only nine percent of the $1.9 trillion COVID bill fights the virus, then what on earth does the other 91 percent do? Well, for starters, Senator Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.) pointed out, it tears down the firewall between taxpayers and abortion. The Democrats’ priority isn’t getting money into the hands of people who treat life […]
Oregon has always been a national leader in providing clean energy to ratepayers due to our hydroelectric dominated energy portfolio. In 2018, around 54% of Oregon’s electricity use resource mix was zero-emitting. The current renewable portfolio standard(RPS) does not reflect this reality. Oregon’s RPS was established in 2007 and created a requirement for how much […]
On Wednesday, March 3, Oregon salon owner Lindsey Graham speaks out, following national media attention that began when Graham defied Oregon Governor Kate Brown, in order to avoid total economic devastation for the families, including her own, that her salon supports through the professional services provided. The Nation watched as Graham was wrongfully, financially and […]
Why would God’s people be referred to as a remnant? What is a remnant? I pondered this today and tried to understand it. I thought to compare a remnant from the entire woven bulk of cloth….. and thought, what is a remnant used for? Patching? Quilting? The last of something? What if it is the […]
“Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:” Romans 5:12. There’s been a lot of death since Adam, in fact, everyone born after Adam has died (except Enoch and Elijah). One Internet site estimates that at the […]
People are starting to take the law back from the lawless ones. One day at a time. This is where CHANGE is going to begin. The biggest push back is against the weapon COVID and the mandates of control that are attached to it. The depopulation agenda is getting a backlash. Meanwhile, Georgia now requires […]
EPIC FAIL: Green Energy Collapses in Texas It was billed as the storm of the century, with bitterly cold arctic air covering Texas, all the way into Mexico. It became a Texas standoff at the OK Corral. Mother Nature was pitted against the heroes of modern electrical production: wind and solar. Who would ultimately survive […]
Lord we repent that we didn’t recognize our need to support and even assist with those running for office and to be involved in the aspect of government. Forgive us where we took our hands off the wheel. Many of us have wondered what else we can do to see the corruption that seems to […]

Every parent knows a solid education prepares children for life, and that path begins in grade school. Almost a year ago, the COVID-19 pandemic closed school buildings for in-person classroom instruction. But even before the coronavirus upended K-12 school routines, many Oregon students were trapped in schools that didn’t meet their educational needs, with no […]
The bill was supposed to help America recover from COVID — not make taxpayers sick. Unfortunately for our economy, Democrats don’t seem to know the difference between a relief package and pork. The Left’s 591-page excuse for a “rescue plan” is so loaded down with waste that Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) might need the $112 […]
Gates Lab Meat is more like food for transhumanism….next the half human half clone creature will only need to recharge their bodies with their solar eye shields. Think of the money that will be saved from that green plan. Green as in Soylent Green? How it works They tell you it’s microbes. What they don’t […]
Keira Bell can never get her childhood back. And her body, a scarred and mangled reminder, reminds her every day. “I am living in a world where I don’t fit in as male or as female. I am stuck between two sexes.” Now 24, she’s dedicated her life to stop teenagers from making the same […]

Prevailing wage laws disadvantage minority and low-skilled workers and reduce affordable housing Why is “affordable housing” so expensive? Many politicians, bureaucrats, and affordable housing advocates treat the question as one of life’s many mysteries. But it’s really not that mysterious. Many regulations governing public projects add up, piece by piece, to affordable housing’s staggering price […]
Oregon is home to NuScalePower, the nation’s leading small modular nuclear reactor (SMR) developer. However, our state isn’t able to take advantage of NuScale’s innovative technology because it is illegal to site a nuclear plant in Oregon. Three bills being considered in Oregon’s current legislative session could change that. HB 2332would repeal current legal provisions […]
Ryan Anderson didn’t even know his book had been pulled. There was no warning, no notification from Amazon that the title had been removed. A reader tipped him off when he tried to buy a copy and couldn’t. That’s strange, Ryan thought, logging on to Amazon to see for himself. Sure enough — his bright […]
There isn’t a single pro-lifer in America who wouldn’t love to see Planned Parenthood completely defunded. But without both sides of Congress firmly in the hands of conservatives, former President Donald Trump did the next best thing. He chipped away at the forced partnership between taxpayers and the abortion industry with the most powerful weapon […]
Should governments use taxpayer dollars to support select companies of their choice? The recent closure of SolarWorld’s Portland area solar panel factory and the failure of the government-backed SoloPower Systems show why public dollars shouldn’t be spent to subsidize private firms. SolarWorld opened the nation’s largest solar panel factory in Hillsboro in 2008.[1] It was […]
I grew up loving two writers: Albert Payson Terhune and Carolyn Keene. Both of these authors influenced my outlook and values in life. Mister Terhune authored the famous “collie books” and inspired my love of dogs. Mrs. Keene bestowed upon me worthy role models through the characters in her books who were courageous and undeterred. […]
“Befuddling.” “Inexplicable.” “Baffling.” Those are just three of the words Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas used to describe his colleagues’ latest response to the 2020 election. After three months of mixed signals, the justices finally turned down a case that had most conservatives holding their breaths — a lawsuit against Pennsylvania’s expanded mail-in balloting order. […]
If you have loved your freedom or simply just expect it as a right, then know this, we are under a digital Pearl Harbor. The world is at stake and there is no room for failure, this is it. That being said, the next set of questions are many. Why is everything so unclear, and […]
Governments are killing real jobs and conning us about ‘millions of well-paid green jobs’ “Fool me once,” Stephen King wrote, “shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me three times, shame on both of us.” His adage certainly applies to the myth (and fake math) of green jobs. During the 2020 election […]
In a federal lawsuit filed by the non-profit Informed Consent Action Network (ICAN), the Center for Disease Control (CDC) has failed to produce scientific studies that back up its long-declared assertion that vaccines given to babies in the first six months of life do not cause autism. The CDC claims on its website that “Vaccines […]
Because God’s Word is living, it speaks to every generation. Recently I reread Habakkuk and I noticed how similar were the issues addressed by the prophet to those of our times. As Habakkuk surveyed the land before him, he saw violence and injustice everywhere he looked. Is our day any different? Newscasts are filled with […]
Lord God, please help the people of Texas! Protect the vulnerable and provide for sensible and common sense energy policy. Could the crisis and rolling blackouts Texas faced this week have been avoided? The answer is certainly yes. But the bigger question I am asking is was this avoidable winter crisis about inept leadership or […]
If you thought hospital food was bland now, get ready to hear this. The Oregon Legislature is considering a bill that bans hospitals from serving bacon and every other salted, smoked, or cured meat. Because House Bill 2348 also requires hospitals to make plant-based food available, proponents argue that this is simply about promoting good […]
Recent freezing temperatures and power outages in both Oregon and Texas demonstrate why going “all in” on intermittent energy resources like solar and wind power will end up costing utility customers. Governor Kate Brown declared a state of emergency on Saturday, February 13, due to a snow and ice storm that left up to 300,000 […]
Time for an update on all of the crazy goings-on in the world this day. Let’s try to decipher things once again, as we anxiously await having righteousness blessedly restored—and more importantly as we eagerly anticipate the Rapture of all Believers in Jesus Christ, Believers that He was the Son of God who died for […]
Environmentalists have an unsolvable climate problem in their campaign to rid the world of global warming. Their problem is God. As God makes clear to Job, God has total control of the sun, the wind, sea levels, and precipitation. He’s the one who “commands the morning” by causing the sun to rise (Job 38:12). He […]

The World Health Organization appears to have agenda to depopulate humanity after offering bribe to nation leader to give toxic vaccines! Why do they want to make people sick?

Oregon Zoo returns to seven-days-a-week schedule with hours 9 a.m.–4 p.m. Snow and ice shuttered the Oregon Zoo over the long Presidents Day weekend, but the popular destination is set to reopen this week, with a return to regular operating hours.

It is with sincere condolences that I extend my thoughts and prayers to the Limbaugh Family on the passing of Rush Limbaugh early morning on February 17, 2021. As they are family it almost seems intrusive to say that we all feel a stinging loss, but the fact is this. We do. If you are […]
Doctored evidence was presented in the impeachment trial of Donald Trump. A tweet that was presented by Rep. Eric Swalwell as evidence of brewing plans to create havoc in the capital on January 6 was entered into the record of evidence. Problem was that the tweet was changed in multiple places. Photoshopped. Faked. Tampered with. […]
A group of Utah parents have prompted a review of an “equity book program” in their local school district after a teacher read a book favorable to transgenderism to a class of third-graders. The book, “Call Me Max”, written by transgender-identified author Kyle Lukoff, follows the story of a girl wanting to be seen as […]
February gave Texas the cold shoulder this weekend as an extreme winter storm pounded the entire state. As of this morning, power had not been restored to more than 4 million Texans. Hundreds of thousands have also lost water after the water treatment plants in Fort Worth, Abilene, and elsewhere suffered power outages. A handful […]
For Black History Month this year, we wanted to highlight a few black heroes that were early political leaders. The first black US Senator was Hiram Rhodes Revels. Revels (1827-1901) attended a seminary in Indiana before becoming a preacher in 1845. He was jailed in 1854 for preaching to slaves in St. Louis, even though […]
Environmentalists falsely claim weed-prevention chemical threatens 1,800 threatened species Modern American agriculture has wrought miracles over the past 70 years. Conventional farm production per acre and overall nearly tripled, corn (maize) production increased 500% from 20% less land – and farmers used less water, less fuel, less fertilizer, and fewer pesticides and other chemicals for […]
It’s time for a new era of Republican leadership and we can start right now We on the conservative Right are quick to castigate “The Swamp” and the “Deep State” in Washington, DC, and rightly so. Neither serve the American people, Republican, Democrat, Libertarian, Green, whatever denomination. But just under the indignation is a reluctant […]
With the popular culture wrought with ubiquitous licentiousness and carnal provocation, those favoring more traditional depictions of love and erotic intimacy can often find themselves wandering in a wilderness of depravity. But one has only to turn to some of Hollywood’s finest films to find that love can still be a many splendored thing. Here […]
In 1919, E.M. Hull wrote a book titled The Sheik. Seething with romance and rampant passion, this book issued in paperback would fall into the hands of two teenage girls many, many years later. A gangly red head and slightly chubby blonde, best friends, trekked from Northeast Portland across the Willamette River to a bookstore […]
Zoo closes to guests, but red pandas, beavers and other animals have fun in the snow It was a winter wonderland at the Oregon Zoo today, as animals romped around in the season’s first major snowfall.

The windstorm in East Clackamas County last week took us by surprise. It might have begun in the late afternoon, but we were not really aware of it until after dark. To be honest, we didn’t pay much attention till the power went out. We spent the rest of the night idly considering whether we […]
SB 6 by Arkansas Senator Jason Rapert, Representative Mary Bentley, and other courageous Legislators, is the first immediate statewide ban on abortion to be based on The Moral Outcry Petition.

Returning to America in 1829, Jean Baptiste Charbonneau set aside his cultivated manners and fell into the rough-and-tumble existence of the mountain man. He ranged the length and breadth of the American West, hunting, trapping, guiding and exploring. Unfortunately, Baptiste maintained no diaries or journals, so information about his life is known only through the […]
Not only has this COVID pandemic unearthed financial sinkholes for many business owners and their employees, but there has been a serious fallout in many people’s personal lives because of the isolation. Like the strewn debris that follows a tornado’s path, lives and families have been torn apart and scattered by the winds of suicide, […]
How much longer will we have to wait for justice to be served in America? That, of course, is the million dollar question on the minds of all Believers in Christ—Believers that Jesus Christ was the Son of God who died for our sins and rose again. We have main stream media continuing to fawn […]
Joe Biden learned a lot of things under Barack Obama — but reaching across the aisle wasn’t one of them. That’s become quite apparent in the last week, as the new president charges ahead with a controversial COVID relief package that almost no Republicans support. Aides say the new president is trying to “avoid the […]
I occasionally ask people if they’re aware of a layer of government that has far reaching authority over our local region, stretching from north Portland to Wilsonville, and Forest Grove to Troutdale? Most are surprised to discover I’m referring to METRO, the only regional government of its kind. When people hear of METRO, many visualize […]
In response to the devastation caused by Sept. 2020 Oregon wildfires and straight-line winds, FEMA is currently seeking interested, qualified property management companies to participate in the Direct Lease Program to help provide temporary housing to wildfire survivors in Lane County.

The word “discernment” has a basic definition which is the ability to judge well, a refinement, cultivation, and sophistication. There is also a Christian definition which discernment in that sense is “perception in the absence of judgment with a view to obtaining spiritual direction and understanding”. In these trying times it is important to use […]
For spectators, it may be the most entertaining tradition in the U.S. Senate. The members either pretend to hate it or actually do, but the stories that come out of vote-a-ramas are legendary. Quirky and humanizing, the political all-nighters are painful for both parties, but they always seem to produce funny anecdotes like back-room poker […]
Perhaps the most sinister and dangerous lie the left has beaten into the brains of unthinking Americans is that there is strength in diversity. Nothing could be further from the truth. Diversity, as the first syllable in the word implies, divides. It does not unify. It fractures, debilitates, and diffuses. Energy that could be harnessed […]
Five Monthly Markets Bring Locally Grown Food and Artisan Goods to NE Portland Neighborhoods; COVID Safety Measures Are In Place For its 2021 summer season, Rocky Butte Farmers Market will host five monthly markets providing access to affordable, seasonal, and locally grown foods and artisan products in Northeast Portland’s historically underserved Madison South, Roseway, and […]

We wake up to a Country gone mad…to a World gone mad…just like it has been for the past several years. Those who follow Bible Prophecy are not surprised. Indeed, we Believers—Believers that Jesus Christ was the Son of God who died for our sins and rose again—we consider it par for the course. The […]
Let me start by saying that I believe Donald Trump won the 2020 Presidential Election, only to have it stolen from him by the usual suspects I so well remember from my days living in Chicago: the Democrat Party. There was so much evidence of malfeasance, from statistical evidence, to mysterious dumps of results for […]
Some frown on it and park benches hate it, but chewing gum has many surprising benefits Amid 40+ years in politics and public policy, I sometimes enjoy forays into other topics, like natural and artificial coral reefs, scuba diving, and medical and scientific advances over the centuries. As a regular user, I’ve enjoyed the pop […]
There were two things that the Framers understood to be abundantly clear. One, the United States would necessarily be a nation comprised of individuals. And two, those individuals, no matter how strong in their beliefs, had to respect each other through the embrace of compromise. Today, the Marxist-Progressives of the Left are extending a call […]
President Trump is busy in his office in Mar-a-lago. What a marvelous set up he has. Who is he watching? Is he having a conference call? Maybe he is just spying on something? How many bells and whistles can you see? Note the flag? This looks pretty official…what with all the military emblems and all, […]
The economic system is rigged. The stock market schemes for short selling and manipulating the market is currently being exposed. This is not about an election, it is about bringing down the system.

Fans of the playful polar bear can see her at the Oregon Zoo this spring She made a big splash when she arrived here in 2016, and left a big bear-shaped hole in our hearts when she went away the following year. Now, as the Oregon Zoo puts the finishing touches on its new Polar […]
Portland values its “green” projects; but local policymakers are attempting to address the region’s homelessness crisis by creating new facilities, rather than repurposing properties that already exist. Cascade Policy Institute has released a new report offering straightforward solutions to aid the unsheltered homeless by using public resources more effectively. Publicly owned and operated buildings should […]
One threatens our democracy, the other promises hope for economy, environment and country. We’ve heard about “nuclear options” since Harry was still Senator Reid. America now faces two major nuclear options: one involves political power, the other power to run an energy-dependent economy. In the political arena, President Biden and his allies are already going […]

Another anniversary of Roe v. Wade is upon us. And in recent days, the pro-life movement has suffered some serious political setbacks. Outgoing President Donald Trump was surprisingly pro-life. In contrast, incoming President Joe Biden, although he is a Catholic, has become so pro-abortion that he believes in abortion for any reason up to the very moment […]
At the Oregon Senate District 20 Precinct Committee Person Nominating Convention held on January 23rd, Steve Bates received 59.88% of the vote which was the largest vote count of any of the 10 candidates.

Three episodes in the life of Israel illustrate how God often waits until things look impossible (the “Eleventh Hour”) to deliver us. “When Pharaoh let the people go, God did not lead them on the road through the Philistine country, though that was shorter. For God said, ‘If they face war, they might change their […]
In a rather heated recent blogger exchange, one correspondent observed that the legitimacy of our November election was so obvious that those claiming the vote counting was fraudulent or otherwise illegitimate should be legally silenced. In reply I asked which faction he would advise a newly arrived observer from Mars to believe. Should the Martian […]

Biden’s Green New Deal won’t work without mining, especially for rare earth elements. As Joe Biden and Kamala Harris take the reins of government and launch their program to “transition” America away from fossil fuels, they need to consider some hard realities. Chief among them is that no Green New Deal can succeed without major […]
New Rodrigues fruit bats represent ‘one of the most inspiring conservation stories’ Three Rodrigues flying foxes are being raised at the Oregon Zoo this month, adding to the growing population of a bat species once considered the most imperiled on the planet.

Several days ago, we received a message from a nonprofit organization associated with a State government — stating something to the effect that: “Our democracy is sacred, resting upon the rule of law, emanating from the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

I have no desire to teach Revelation. Even after all these years, the symbolism is confusing to me. Thankfully, the early part that deals with the churches seems clear. And the end is also clear: Jesus wins! But today, as I was reading chapter 16, it was as though I heard a shout from Heaven, […]
Patience. A virtue that is not easily learned. Tick tock…can the clock move any slower?! We are now at the final scene in this worldwide drama that represents a showdown between Almighty God and Satan. We know that God has all the power over Satan, but will He allow America to continue to disintegrate, or […]
My days on earth are numbered; but before I fade away, there is something important I need to say. It may not be important to anyone else; but it’s important to me. Win, lose or fraud… President Trump. I just want to say thank you for the last four years. Thank you for making it […]
Unprecedented Economic Boom Before the China Virus invaded our shores, we built the world’s most prosperous economy. America gained 7 million new jobs – more than three times government experts’ projections. Middle-Class family income increased nearly $6,000 – more than five times the gains during the entire previous administration. The unemployment rate reached 3.5 percent, […]
Ours is a society that deeply loves pets. All sorts of critters are used as emotional support animals. People will spend hundreds or thousands of dollars when it comes to the veterinary treatment of their pets. And our courts take the abuse or neglect of any animal very seriously. Peter calls the false teachers who […]
Our last study wound up at Romans 5:6 – 8, observing that many believers don’t fully grasp the impact of these 3 verses. They teach that no one deserves Jesus Christ’s sacrificial death, so no one will ever be able to say they even remotely earned what He did for them on the cross. On […]
Now that some of the shock of the last two weeks is starting to wear off, most Americans have the same question: can we actually pick up the pieces and move on? With 80 percent of the country worried the nation is falling apart, there’s a lot of concern that nation’s days are numbered. These […]

According to the latest undercover video of CEO Jack Dorsey from Project Veritas, Twitter plans to censor even more conservatives. “This is going to be much bigger than just one account [Donald Trump’s, which they permanently suspended], and it’s going to go on for much longer than just this day, this week, and the next […]
Every person is an emotional being, yet some Christians have been taught that strong emotions are categorically sinful and therefore unacceptable. In and of themselves emotions are neither good nor bad, they simply are. Questions of right and wrong relate to how we handle our emotions. Feelings aren’t part of the Curse; they’re part of […]
Every month when you pay your electricity bill, you pay a surcharge of about 5.6%. If you are a natural gas customer, you pay a similar tax ranging from 2.5% to 4.9%, depending on your vendor. Both taxes are likely identified as a “Public Purpose Charge” (PPC). That name tells you nothing, which is by […]
With the clock ticking down to midnight on December 31, my family was looking forward to putting 2020 behind us. The New Year held at least a small hope that the pandemic would subside, vaccines would be distributed, schools would re-open, and the chaos and violence would taper off. While the year didn’t kick off […]

A recent article in The Atlantic argues that developments during the COVID-19 pandemic have disproven the claim that new housing construction causes gentrification. The author writes: “The pandemic has radically decreased demand for big-city living while also increasing the quantity of available apartments. Yet this basic fact, plain for all to see, flies in the […]

Secretary of State Pompeo spoke at the National Press Club. He told the truth and facts on where we are with The Islamic Republic of Iran.

The left doesn’t need laws, policy, or regulations to rule. They have something much more powerful. Setting an astonishing precedent, the trinity of social media — Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter — suspended and banned profiles belonging to the sitting president of the United States indefinitely. The ban of the leader of the free world has […]
When all else fails, look to the states. That’s where hope is in abundance. Despite a difficult start to 2021, pro-life leaders are keeping their heads down and focusing on what they can do to affect change.

It was only a matter of time until a book about corporate tyranny found itself shut down by — you guessed it — a corporation.

Revelation, the last book of our Bible, opens with a “beyond amazing” description of the resurrected Christ.

Now what?! We who are Believers in Christ—that Jesus Christ was the son of God Who died for our sins and rose again—we are champing at the bit for the rest of this election story to unfold. Will God step in at this late hour and save America, or has critical mass been reached in […]
The bustle and excitement of the holidays are over, but it’s still cold out there. The shorter days and cold weather, and even the loneliness after the holidays, send some people into depression.

2020 bore witness to the worst of mankind – and yet there was the occasional heroic moment, brief respite and minor miracle. You might have missed them if you only read the headlines.

I had just settled my weary bones down in my favorite chair, thinking I ought to go to bed, even though it was early, but too tired even to brush my teeth and undress, when I heard a faint tapping at the door. Not quite cursing, but grumbling, I took my time trudging to the […]
You can almost visualize Tevye pumping his arms as he sings “Tradition” in the opening scenes of Fiddler on the Roof. He is claiming that traditions are what hold his community together. Many of our family traditions have developed because they are fun, bring back fond memories, and allow closeness between generations. In the movie, […]
Much of what happened to America in 2020 and will likely repeat in some form in 2021 was not just bad luck; it was self-inflicted harm. And until we join together to halt the abject stupidity that has allowed endless political nonsense, disease, race rioting, economic hardship, influence peddling, censorship, and election fraud to flourish, […]
What will happen next, and when? Christmas is over, and still, the two sides, good versus evil, stand facing one another—neither one in retreat. We wonder how much more of this suspense we can take—we Believers in Christ, that He is the Son of God, who died a brutal death for our sins and rose […]
Lord, we thank You that in these times of disruption and fake news that we can turn to You, the Spirit of Truth, to reveal to us what we need to do and guide us in the way we should go. Rumors continue to swirl regarding the Christmas morning explosion in Nashville. The liberal media […]
Instead of counting their blessings and making the most out of the great gift of living in America, woke progressives feel the need to be oppressed, or an ally of the so-called oppressed, in order to harness the power of moral authority. What do pronouns, gender norms, “toxic masculinity,” white privilege, and political correctness have […]
It has come to this. We, the American people, no longer have a true representative form of government. We are now saddled with an assembly of people, elected to office, who simply do not understand the US constitution, its mandates, its limits, its requirements, its obligations. Our government – wholly unrecognizable from that the Constitution […]
Some leftist government officials, in the name of trying to fight the spread of COVID-19, have come down hard on churches. For example, California Governor Gavin Newsom declared (5/7/20), “We’re looking at the science, epidemiology, looking again at frequency, duration, time, and looking at low risk-high reward, low risk-low reward.” [Emphasis added] He has defined abortion […]
Watch this well documented 18 minute video shared by President Trump that exposes the communist agenda and the Plot To Steal America! Patriots arise, this is a real eye-opener!
Lord, we would have despaired unless we had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. I read a recent post from an individual involved in meetings with President Trump who revealed, “He is betrayed from within.” My heart broke. What must it be like for President Trump or […]
Shelter space can be used effectively by tracking and reporting vacancies If a homeless person asks you to find them shelter space, could you do it? It’s harder than you think. That’s because Portland lacks a key piece of a shelter system. No one knows which shelters have space or how much space is available. […]
You know the feeling…the one where you are waiting, breath in check, for the next shoe to drop. It is increasingly beginning to look like all hell is about to break loose in America, actually on the entire planet. Yes, it is Almighty God versus Satan, with an epic drama like we have never seen […]

As Americans peruse store aisles and websites in search of Christmas gifts this year, many may not be aware of a sinister and growing problem with the products they are buying: if it was made in China, there’s a good chance that it was produced through slave labor.

In Romans, the Apostle Paul established that no one can be justified (stand righteous) before God by any work, including adherence to the Law or any religion, quoting several Old Testament (OT) Scriptures; “As it is written, there is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after […]
Experts agree the tide has turned in nuclear power’s favor, but obstacles remain How has the Trump Administration fared in meeting the multiple challenges that have slowed the growth of nuclear energy in the U.S. to a near-halt? And what are the prospects for nuclear energy in a Biden-Harris Administration? It’s time to nuke the […]
Father, do not let us be complacent about justice and what is right. We ask for forgiveness on behalf of ourselves and our nation where we have let complacency lead us to sin.

What did you want to be when you grew up? I wanted to be a cowboy. I wore my two six-shooters most of the time. One of my dad’s friends always called me “Tex”, even as I got older. As a boy, I assumed there were still places where the streets were dirt and people […]

As government-imposed shutdowns continue, more Oregonians are struggling to pay their electricity bills. Portland General Electric reported in June that arrears (when payment is 31 days past due or more) were up 41% compared to the same time last year.

Pretty much every American has seen The Homecoming: A Christmas Story, the 1971 film that inspired the acclaimed television series, The Waltons. Well, I’ve got a homecoming story too. I wish I could remember the exact year it was. It was either in the late seventies or early eighties–perhaps some weather-buff reading this might know. […]

The election faceoff has now reached a fever pitch. All of the players on the chessboard are in place, and we see true evil lining up against the truth of God and His Holy Bible. Doesn’t get any more intense than this for our Country—for this is indeed the last stand for God’s Truth and […]

With the resignation of A.G. Barr, the new acting Attorney General will be Jeffrey A. Rosen. Rosen has a solid background in the Founding Fathers and their interpretation of Foreign Interference. Imagine the timing of such a changing of the guard…nothing is by chance. In August Jeffrey Rosen spoke of 2020 election interference and the […]
Today, despite the best efforts of modern Grinches, Americans continue to widely celebrate the federal holiday of Christmas. In fact, public support for Christmas celebrations in public schools remains high even though critics repeatedly invoke legal means to silence this festivity. But support for this holiday was quite mixed in early America. Those associated with […]
It’s the day after Thanksgiving at the house of my brother-in-law on Mercer Island. I’m helping him and my nephew put up the outside Christmas lights. “I’ll go inside,” he says, “and come out the upstairs window so I can string the upper row of lights. You guys can run three strings across the front […]
I feel disenfranchised with last month’s vote because of such apparent widespread voter fraud in six key swing states. But the media says, “There’s nothing to see here.” As of this writing, 40 court decisions seem to agree with them. Thank God for the alternative media, which is a lifeline of information that big tech, […]
Meet Vamsi, one of the first children to be taken in at Apple of His Eye Children’s Home in Southern India. He came from a family affected by leprosy. In India, being associated with leprosy is a death sentence. Other Indians consider anyone linked to leprosy cursed and want nothing to do with that person […]
Father, thank you for the children of this nation. Help us to give them the education that will glorify you and prepare them for the unique future you have designed for each one. We break off every ungodly influence over the students in our schools, and we declare, our students will learn and come to […]
America’s college campuses have been a problem for years, but lately, for reasons no one is talking about. The Chinese Communist Party is here, Secretary Mike Pompeo warned — and they’re hiding in the shadows of our liberal schools. “These aren’t hypotheticals,” he insisted earlier this year. Speaking at Georgia Tech, Pompeo was blunt. “They […]
Stay strong America for the battle has just begun. Find yourselves counted worthy of the grace, mercy and promises that God has foretold in the Bible. For these are evil days and the last days and the price for the Kingdom of God is one of great value and the devil knows his days are […]
We romanticize Americans as being rugged individuals who pick-themselves-up-by-their-bootstraps. It may be romantic, until you can’t get yourself back up after a fall. You’ve seen the commercials for the necklace with a button to push to notify emergency services when you’ve fallen and can’t get up. My mom had one. It gave us kids a […]
Britain showcases what US and global future will really look like with “sustainable” EVs Joe Biden, his fellow Democrats, and apparently big U.S. automakers, have joined the rush to transform America’s transportation to 100% electric vehicles (EV) whether We the People want it or not. During an October town hall, Biden asserted that his plan […]
President Trump is not the only one refusing to accept election results. The general manager of TriMet, Doug Kelsey, is claiming that the $3 billion Tigard light rail project is still alive, even though Portland-area voters rejected a proposed funding measure by a wide margin last month. At a recent public meeting, Mr. Kelsey stated […]
China Panics as the US military joins plans with the Japanese government to start construction of an airfield and other related facilities as a joint force in the South China Sea.

I am old enough to remember what I refer to as the “golden age” of radio. Lucky, lucky me – because those really were the days. Every December my sister and I would race home from school in order to sit in the breakfast nook and listen to the latest installment of The Cinnamon Bear! […]
Do you want to enjoy a drink but don’t feel safe sitting in a bar? If you live in one of the many states that have allowed “cocktails to-go” since the beginning of the pandemic (including our neighbors in California, Washington, and Idaho), you’re in luck! Oregon restaurants and bars, however, aren’t so fortunate, as […]
Here we are once again – the COVID LIARS ARE CAUGHT! Many Democrat governors and mayors are proving to be anti-science and anti-Constitution as they shut down outdoor dining and close down churches, only to be rebuked by courts. ⬇️ pic.twitter.com/AFFl07WdlG — Kayleigh McEnany (@PressSec) December 9, 2020 The entire planned covid is out in […]
The election faceoff has now reached a fever pitch. All of the players on the chessboard are in place, and we see true evil lining up against the truth of God and His Holy Bible. Doesn’t get any more intense than this for our Country—for this is indeed the last stand for God’s Truth and […]
BREAKING UPDATE – U.S. Supreme Court will hear Texas’ lawsuit against Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, and Wisconsin over potential voter fraud. The case was added to the Supreme Court docket TODAY!

“How the Grinch Stole Christmas!” is a relatively recent (1957) Christmas story by Dr. Seuss that has a serious theme objecting to the commercialization of Christmas, while at the same time, delighting children with a happy ending. Upon hearing a joyous Christmas song, the Grinch realizes that “maybe Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more” […]
Father, help us to maintain justice and to do what is right in Your eyes.

Remember the old fellow who wouldn’t take the flag pole down on his Virginia property a few years ago?

These key words are prominent in Romans, chapter 5: “Grace” is found 6 times, the most frequent in any chapter in Romans. It occurs 25 times in Romans, the most often in any New Testament (NT) book. It is translated from the Greek “charis” (G5385). Two different Greek words describe death. The Greek word “Thanatos” […]
Americans are asking for accountability and indictment for those involved in the disgusting, and corrupt coup against the President of the United States of America and all the false accusations and crimes against a seated President and CRIMES AGAINST WE THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA! It is well overdue to expose the […]
President Trump makes the most important speech in his presidency – he said. News media is going nuts because he released it to his base via Facebook and Twitter. Not to fake news. Even Fox is going nuts trying to figure out how to spin his truth and fact based EMERGENCY BROADCAST SENT DIRECTLY TO […]
Today, Cascade Policy Institute released an analysis of Oregon’s Public Purpose Charge (PPC), recommending that the tax be repealed as soon as possible. The report, Oregon’s “Public Purpose” Energy Tax: Mission Accomplished, or Mission Creep?, was authored by John A. Charles, Jr. and Rachel Dawson. The PPC is a 3% tax enacted by the Oregon […]
May our prayers penetrate heaven like an open fire hydrant on behalf of our nation for God’s intervention in this great time of need. We pray for perseverance and faith. God, we look to You in all these things. I know we are all tired of the constant flow of information, especially contradictory information, regarding […]
They should have been in the fields working. Instead, the village men, shoulders sagging, were plowing the ground for something else: graves. Stretchers, filled with the bodies of their Nigerian sons and brothers, lay spread out in quiet rows — the gruesome proof of a war that won’t go away. It had started the day […]
While most Americans were at home prepping for the big day, nine Supreme Court justices were still at the office Wednesday night, cooking up something else: a rebuke of New York City’s COVID restrictions. In her coming out party, new Justice Amy Coney Barrett made her presence felt — casting the tie-breaking vote that only […]
Barack Obama may have written a book called The Promised Land, but if his latest comments are any indication, he won’t be leading the Democratic Party there any time soon. In trying to explain how Donald Trump could have captured such a big slice of the Hispanic vote, the former president managed to reaffirm to […]
Father, protect our nation and the freedoms we experience. Let us find refuge in You and keep us from evil. Chinese Communist President Xi Jinping wants travelers to adopt a global QR code system to help determine their health status and travel “permissions” in a post-coronavirus pandemic travel reset. During the virtual G20 summit on […]
It’s too soon to know for sure the outcome of the current election, but there is obviously a chance that Joe Biden, with the help of Democrat operatives and Big Tech, is going to cheat his way to victory. What will America’s health care look like under a President Biden? While President Trump believes in […]
In these past couple of weeks, two important studies have been published that could dramatically increase our understanding of the Covid-19 disease. Adding to the science of how we understand and treat this disease is something that should be welcomed, because properly understood it can save lives. The only problem is that because the results […]
There is a war on history in our time. There is an all-out effort to cut us off from our past—presumably to make us into a nation in the image of what the Left wants. For example, Thanksgiving would seem to be as American as apple pie. But an article last week (11/17/20) in the […]
The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service estimates up to 500,000 birds are killed annually in the United States due to wind turbine collisions. The number of deaths will continue to increase as more turbines populate our nation’s landscape. Raptors are especially vulnerable to colliding with wind turbines due to their flight patterns. They typically soar […]
Father, lead us with Your Spirit of truth. Help us to be guided by You and Your Word. Let us fix our eyes on You alone. We are at war with enemies of liberty, domestic and foreign. Domestic enemies are now pressing relentlessly. Why shrink from the word “enemy,” the simple definition of which is “one seeking […]
As we await our blessed Thanksgiving celebration, with all of the usual frenzied preparation and plans…as we eagerly anticipate a table full of roast turkey, mashed potatoes, homemade gravy, stuffing, and cranberries…our thoughts can’t help but turn to the major civil war brewing in this great and once-united United States of America. There is definitely […]
Lord, we thank You that no matter what You are in complete control. We ask that You encourage our hearts with that truth today. Nearly two weeks after testing positive for COVID-19, Dr. Ben Carson, U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, believes he’s “out of the woods at this point” and is confident that […]
Winter is coming to Oregon, and it might be a rough one. As if the pandemic, riots, and a recession weren’t enough, the Northwest is looking at La Niña weather conditions that will bring us a cold, wet winter. While most of us will tough it out in our warm homes, thousands of unsheltered homeless […]
Father, let our government officials be lead by Your wisdom and discernment and let them shine as lights in this world. The US will allow goods produced in West Bank settlements to be labeled products of Israel as opposed to the West Bank, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced on Thursday, during the first-ever visit by […]
In the first comprehensive, peer-reviewed study the efficacy of face masks to prevent the spread of Covid has been called into question. Within the margin of error there is virtually no difference between a masked group and an unmasked group, Danish scientists discovered. Yet this major discovery about the virus is being completely ignored by […]
“Smaller companies don’t have the resources” to “prevent the next Trump situation,” a Big Tech exec said to an undercover reporter last summer. Google, Twitter, and Facebook, she bragged, do. One year, thousands of censored posts, and a presidential election later, Americans are starting to understand just how far Big Tech will go to manipulate […]
400 years ago this month, a weary band of Christians from England came ashore in New England after a grueling 66-day voyage aboard the Mayflower. The Pilgrims came for one purpose, which they spelled out in writing: “for the glory of God and the advancement of the Christian faith.” It was all about religious freedom. […]
Rev. Ralph Warnock is in one of the two Georgia senate runoffs that will determine the balance of power in the United States Senate. Rev.

Shining light on EPA actions should get 100% support – but is opposed by the usual suspects Ballot harvesting, behind-the-curtains ballot counting and other hijinks have made transparency a critical issue this election year. Meanwhile, as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency celebrates its fiftieth birthday, political battles continue to rage over the extent of public, […]
Voters approve Measure 110, decriminalizing drugs while creating an unaccountable bureaucracy Oregon voters recently approved a ballot measure that decriminalizes possession of small amounts of “hard” drugs, including heroin, cocaine, LSD, and methamphetamine. Supporters see the measure as a big step toward ending the failed 50-year “War on Drugs.” Opponents fear the measure will lead […]
Governor Kate Brown recently decided to take her Coronavirus “two-week pause” one step further by issuing an aggressive statewide “two-week freeze” running from November 18th through December 2nd (with an additional two weeks for Multnomah County). Among its many restrictions, the freeze forces restaurants and bars to offer take-out only, and gyms, museums, and many […]
Whether or not reports about the continuing collapse of Fox News Channel’s ratings are greatly exaggerated has yet to be determined. But a curtain was raised on election night, and what was behind it cannot be unseen. The issue becomes, can conservatives and Trump Nation continue to deliver ratings to the network after viewing the […]
Our civil justice system is as much at risk as the integrity of ballots, elections and democracy Big Media, Big Tech, Big Academia, the Deep State and the Cancel Culture clearly aligned with the Democrat Party, to resist, block, impede and impeach a duly elected President Trump, during and after the 2016 election and the […]
Lord, let the hidden things come to light. May the lying lips be silenced which speak arrogantly against the righteous with pride and contempt. Lord, deliver us from evil. Deliver America from this attempted takeover and may truth and justice reign. Rep Louis Gohmert (R-TX) announced intel he received of a weekend raid in Frankfurt, […]
An Election stalemate—so now what? What are we, as Believers in Christ, to think? Has God ‘dropped the ball,’ and decided to stop supporting President Trump? If so, this makes no sense to us. We prayed, we tried so very hard to obey in righteousness, and we also got our collective behinds out to vote. […]

The investigation […]
Remember the last time you stumbled into your kitchen, flicked on the lights, and saw hundreds of sugar ants scurrying over your counters? As you reached for the Windex (instant death), they sensed danger and quickly disappeared into the woodwork. Others retreated down the sideboard to the floor, across the room, and disappeared under the […]
God blessed Abraham greatly and he is referred to by name 74 times in the New Testament (NT). (Jesus is named most frequently, Paul 2nd, Peter 3rd, Moses 4th and Abraham 5th; five in Scripture being the number for grace.) This doesn’t mean Abraham was any better than anyone else because the Bible teaches that […]
Imagine if you will, you’ve gone to your usual neighborhood Friday night high school football game. As usual, your team is doing very well and at half time you’ve had your cold beer and hot dog with lots of mustard. Early in the fourth quarter with your team winning 42-13, there is suddenly an electrical […]
Ever since the alleged pandemic erupted this past March the mainstream media has spewed a non-stop stream of misinformation that appears to be laser focused on generating maximum fear among the citizenry. But the facts and the science simply don’t support the grave picture painted of a deadly virus sweeping the land. Yes we do […]
The Electoral College is required by law to meet on December 14 to elect a president for us. This is how things are done in a representative republic like ours. In a republic, we do not choose our president; instead, we choose the people who will pick a president for us. What we were really […]
As much as I have tried to distract in order to offer my readers much needed cheer, I find that now I need to state my “take” on all this idiocy. First of all, Covid-19 – the fact that we do not have a vaccine is nothing less than a disgrace. I feel so strongly […]
Lately I’ve suffered through a spate of films, TV specials, and even novels about adults who had been neglected, mistreated, or abandoned when they were children. In almost every case they grew up to be neurotic, depressed, criminal, psychopathic, or even sociopathic. I got to wondering whether I had missed out on some childhood trauma […]
On Veterans Day, November 11th, we honor American patriots who have served our nation in the military. Did you know that several of the signers of the Declaration of Independence were veterans? See what you know about some of these earliest American heroes! Which signer of the Declaration, formerly an officer in the New Jersey […]
As voter fraud allegations and videos of recorded fraud are coming forth in every single state, rather than waiting until these issues are resolved, Joe Biden and the Democrats have chosen to declare Biden the winner and install him as president-elect. That is a dangerous move in this national game of chess. There is a difference […]
I have supported Donald J. Trump since he announced he was running for President. At first, it was because he was self-funding and he was novel. As time went on, I realized his view of America — was my view of America. It still is, even more so. I think we all knew something was […]
A nation “of the people, by the people, and for the people” will perish from the earth if we do not demand that everyone play by the rules that protect all citizens. That is why we have laws and additional expectations of civil behavior spelled out in the Judaeo-Christian tradition by the Ten Commandments or […]
As countless families struggle with schooling from home, one standout district is setting the bar higher and overcoming challenges presented by Covid-19 and remote learning. We’re told to listen to the Centers for Disease Control when it comes to handwashing, social distancing, and sanitizing, but why are Oregon education policy makers not listening to the […]
This release reports further developments in the federal district court suit against Multnomah County District Attorney Mike Schmidt for his continued selective, bad faith “riot” prosecution in violation of the First Amendment rights of Joey Gibson and Russell Schultz.

Lord we now stand as Jehoshaphat and the people of Israel did years before as we say, “We don’t know what to do but our eyes are on You.” For weeks we’ve been hearing news accounts of voter fraud. Here are just a few of the issues we have learned about: Fraudster attempts to register […]
Trump policies reshape Middle East politics and reject eco-imperialism for Africa and USA President Trump is “the greatest friend Israel has ever had in the White House,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said. According to an i24 News poll, 63% of Israelis say Trump would be better for Israel than Joe Biden, who received […]
Suddenly, the world has changed. It seems surreal, and this transformation happened overnight. A pandemic comes onto the world scene, and license is given to run the world a certain way. The globalist way. The Progressive, non-secular way. Why is this happening? And what can we do about it? There is a conniving operator at […]
This blog was inspired by a sermon I recently heard by Josh Martin at Resonate Church. In this political climate, it’s important for us to look into the Bible to be reminded of God’s perspective. If we ignore the Bible, we are prone to listen to another voice that shouts for our allegiance, and the […]
Father, hold back the forces of evil that are roaming freely in our world. An open letter from Archbishop Vigano about the ramping up of “a global conspiracy against God and humanity”: Mister President, Allow me to address you at this hour in which the fate of the whole world is being threatened by a […]
The power of Satan’s demons will be focused against President Trump on Halloween night in an effort to prevent his return to the Oval Office. Counting on extra juice from two full moons in the month of October, over 6,000 witches “are plotting to cast a ‘binding spell’ on Donald Trump on Halloween, so that […]
The issue of abortion has barely come up in the debates of Election 2020. But for many of us, it is still the issue that matters most. I am a one-issue voter, without apology, and that issue is abortion. I’m against it. If a politician thinks it is acceptable—whatever the rhetoric—to deliberately kill a living, […]
The hardest part of the Oregon Trail emigrants’ journey was the descent. In addition to the swampy bogs and dense forests, there was the infamous Laurel Hill. The pioneers mistakenly called the rhododendrons that were clinging to the steep slopes “laurels.” In places the grade on Laurel Hill was 60%–more vertical than horizontal. Here the […]
The road building was slow. The emigrants had only axes and saws and only one grindstone in the entire company, therefore much of the clearing was done by burning. From mid-September through December, they battled their way through the thick timber of the Mountain’s southern flank. They realized they would not have time to finish […]
Autumn of 2020 marks the 175th Anniversary of the first attempted crossing of Mt. Hood’s Oregon Trail and the 173rd Anniversary of the first toll road—known as the Barlow Trail—over the Cascade Mountain Range. The Barlow Trail was the final overland link of the Oregon Trail that allowed emigrant travelers a cheaper, quicker but still […]
