The states with the highest murder/crime rates year after year in the United States are MAGA central. Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, New Mexico, Tennessee, Arkansas, and Missouri. Their small rural towns have insanely high crime rates. Ever drive though rural Alabama? Shit shacks and moldy doublewides covered with MAGA flags. So…

BTW, we should all be concerned about this deep shift into fascism? (Does this make me Antifa, being anti-fascist?)

Go to her Youtube channel and browse through her videos looking for a pattern. I think you’ll see what I see.

Look, she does what a lot of right wingers do which is to provide a video to support an argument based on one instance without full context. Was there an assault before the assault? Were inflammatory words exchanged? Is this one episode…[Read more]

Under Portland’s old commission-style city government, we were governed by some fairly nutty no common sense commissioners who passed experimental laws like the one that made public drug use legal.

My brother, a sociologist by education, said “That’s among the nuttiest things I’ve ever heard. Don’t they know about the broken windows phenomenon?…[Read more]

There was an evening market not far from where I live last night. They were not afraid of being assaulted.

Your arguments are made moot due to the fact that we have, not just a new mayor, but a new form of city government.

So all of the Antifa and Autonomous Zoners of 4 years ago are no longer there, waiting for another chance to create trouble? Are there not some of them among today’s rabble? All of the roadside encampments are cleared out? So the City Fathers and Mothers have everything under control? I find that hard to b…

Strega and Unseen, I am no fan of the Military serving as domestic law enforcement.

At the same time, I seriously doubt that Portland has improved from what it was 4 years ago, as shown here:

That is a profoundly DUMB statement.

Four years ago there were wandering mobs of protesters in the central city which included…[Read more]

Quick shout out to @unseen – hope you’re OK mate, I gather Portland is under assault from the military – can’t believe I’m even typing this – stay safe!

Portland is not the dystopian hell Trump seeks to have The Great Unwashed believe. He’s sending troops to liberal cities in preparation for having people used to seeing troops avai…[Read more]

Erika Kirk did the Christian thing and forgave her husband’s killer. How sincere she was, I’ll let you guess.

By contrast, always eager to calm things down and bring the public together (LOL) declared that “I hate my enemies.”

Trump is not only a RINO, he’s a CHRINO, a “Christian In Name Only.”

Rand Paul has lined up, in a tippy-toeing twosidesing way, with Ted Cruz on free speech.

I did not expect to find myself in agreement with Ted Cruz…..

Nor i. I expected Rand Paul to be the first to speak up. I still hope he will become part of a conservative resistance to the excesses of Trump.

Unseen, You posted one article entitled: When Vladimir Putin escalates his war, the world must meet him.

This article did praise the Ukrainians for resistance.

Everything else you posted was boasting how Putin and his weaponry were strong like bull, and how all the usual suspect “experts” blamed Ukraine and the West for…

Unseen, I don’t go on TikTok, so I had to look up “sharking.” No I don’t support sharking or upskirting or any nonconsensual sexual act. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine did not have such esoteric terminology and thus is easy to understand.

So you stand behind your implication that if someone doesn’t condemn something…[Read more]

Not one post that I could find condemning Putin for the invasion of Ukraine.

You’re actually attributing pro-Russian sympathies to me based on what I did not say. OK. Have you ever expressed an explicit condemnation of sharking or upskirting?

Still, “Lucky”??? Where’s the “luck” in getting shot and killed???

Yes, vs. his wife and/or children, if he’s at all gallant.

Feelz is not an argument.

History will deliver the final verdict.

It is not a sin, but where did you ever make that proclamation when the Russo-Ukrainian War started?

I’m not going to look, but…[Read more]
