The front page of The Oregonian on Jan. 1, 2017 showed a photo of Mayor Ted Wheeler with the quote, “This is where the rubber meets the road.” Seems to me the only road this city has been on since Wheeler took office is the Highway To Hell.
This May, Portland voters will be asked to renew the city’s 10-cents-a-gallon gas tax. As with the last one, Measure 26-209 promises slightly more than half of the money raised will be used to repair and repave Portland streets. As with the last measure, while the dollars look big, the results are minuscule. For example, […]
Democrats are determined to use one of these gargantuan and utterly unconstitutional bailout bills to mandate nationwide vote by mail. And they want the ballots to be mailed out automatically to everyone whose name is listed in the voter registry, whether they request one or not and whether they are dead or alive. This, of […]
Private ‘philanthropic’ foundations keep African families destitute, malnourished, dying early It’s easy to farm organically in the wealthy, advanced EU and USA, where consumers can afford much more expensive organic meats, eggs, fruits and vegetables.

It’s easy to get along when the only disagreements are over favorite rock guitarists and classic cars. Looking back, our differences over the Blasey-Ford accusations nearly nipped our friendship in […]
Dr. Anthony Fauci, whose “expert” advice to President Trump has resulted in the complete shutdown of the greatest economic engine in world history, has known since 2005 that chloroquine is an effective inhibitor of coronaviruses. How did he know this? Because of research done by the National Institutes of Health, of which he is the […]
April 27, 2020 For the families lucky enough, there are still cemetery plots. But even grieving is different now, one Iranian says soberly.
