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 […]
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 […]
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.

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.
