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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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, […]
“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” […]
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 […]
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 […]
Multnomah County Republican Party (MCRP) Chairman James Buchal issued an extended public statement on the killing last night of a person who, by all appearances was associated with a vehicle caravan through downtown Portland supporting President Trump, was killed because of his political beliefs, and whose death was celebrated by lawless mobs in Portland last […]
Most of us are very, very tired of the constant barrage of negative news. We realize that it may have some tenuous connection to reality, but is mostly manufactured nonsense, designed to keep us upset until at least the Presidential Election in November. But will it even end then? That is unlikely, because too many […]
Governor Kate Brown took carbon policy into her own hands earlier this year after the failure of Oregon’s cap-and-trade bill by issuing Executive Order 20-04. This order creates new greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction goals and directs various agencies to take actions and exercise their authority to reduce GHG emissions. Four agencies, the Department of […]
