Free Republic

Wheeler is also demanding the federal government do the same and revoke or not issue demonstration permits for the rallies which are set to be held on federal property in Portland.

Culture Nazis have claimed another victory by shutting down a small business in Portland. The pop-up shop Kooks Burritos sold authentic Mexican food and that simply would not do. See, white people making tacos is “cultural appropriation” they say, and better to force the place out of business than put up with that. Kali Wilgus and LC Connelly are owners … were owners … of Kooks Burritos. They took a trip to Mexico to pick the brain of the local tortilla makers and brought their cooking secrets back to the states. “I picked the brains of every tortilla lady there...

Kali Wilgus and Liz “LC” Connelly, owners of Portland pop-up shop Kooks Burritos, just wanted to make and sell some really great burritos. So when they were on a trip to Puerto Nuevo, Mexico, they “picked the brains” of the local tortilla ladies and brought those recipes back to the States. “I picked the brains of every tortilla lady there in the worst broken Spanish ever, and they showed me a little of what they did,” Connelly told Willamette Weekly. “They told us the basic ingredients, and we saw them moving and stretching the dough similar to how pizza makers do before...

This Liberal snowflake walks into Portland, Oregon store and freaks out over a Confederate Flag the owners have up. She is asked to leave the store, and continues film in their parking lot at how the store is racist because they have confederate flag.  The store manager then comes out, and asked her to get off their property at 3 minutes and 20 seconds.  The woman then freaks out, cursing (with her kids) at the guy and starts freaking out and crying.  She then falsly accusses the store owners of attacking her, calling them monsters and evil people to...

What began as a peaceful march for labor rights on May Day in Portland turned violent as a group of self-described anarchists threw objects at officers and officers fired non-lethal weapons back.

Jay Patriot • 5 hours ago This is absolutely hilarious! The hobos will lounge around their pod all day, smoking weed and drinking booze while they wait for the idiot homeowner to come home from work and feed them. This program will be fun to watch and I hope that neighbors with brains will chronicle this insanity and share it with the world. Also, I really like the idea of the see-thru pod that is depicted. Nothing nicer than looking out your window and seeing your hobo slamming his old lady, boppin' his boloney, shooting up heroin, smoking meth, etc...
