After 140 days of chaos, disorder, and lawlessness outside Portland’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility, police finally moved in and cleared Antifa’s encampment on Saturday morning.
More than 30 officers braved heavy rain to dismantle the site, ordering demonstrators to remove tents, supplies, and gear that had clogged the area for nearly five months.
The encampment, long a symbol of Democrat weakness and radical left-wing extremism, collapsed in hours.
For conservatives and law-abiding residents of Portland, it was a long-overdue victory for public order.
Since June, Antifa activists had effectively taken control of the street outside ICE’s South Portland facility.
They set up tents, stockpiled medical supplies, hauled in refrigerators, BBQ grills, and even party gear, transforming the public space into an illegal outpost.
What Democrats and their allies in the media called a “protest” was, in reality, an anarchist encampment that endangered residents, disrupted the neighborhood, and undermined the rule of law.
Complaints poured in from local families about noise, trash, and safety hazards, but Democratic city leaders turned a blind eye for months.
On Saturday, that came to an end. Police swept the site in an organized raid that resulted in three misdemeanor arrests for disorderly conduct.
There was no large-scale resistance because Antifa activists, once emboldened by Portland’s permissive leadership, finally realized the public tide had turned against them.
For the first time in 140 days, not a single Antifa agitator remained outside the ICE facility.
The encampment had become a stain on the city, yet it was tolerated by Portland’s Democrat leadership, who consistently refuse to confront Antifa violence.
Instead of protecting residents, Democrat officials allowed extremists to set up camp and harass federal officers, proving once again that Democrats cannot be trusted to maintain public safety.
Only when the situation became a national embarrassment did police step in.
Conservatives are right to celebrate the clearance, but the fight is not over.
Portland’s radical left will try to reestablish their encampment, and weak Democrat officials may once again stand down.
Residents know the pattern: Antifa moves in, the city ignores the problem, and communities suffer.
It takes Republican pressure, public outrage, and national attention to force even minimal enforcement.
Antifa’s 140-day occupation of a public street outside a federal building should never have been allowed in the first place.
But thanks to Saturday’s raid, Portlanders finally saw what happens when law enforcement acts decisively: order is restored, streets are cleared, and the radical left is put back in check.
When Democrats fail to protect American communities, Republicans will stand for law, order, and accountability.
LOL!! They were embarrassed into having to do that.
That and there isn’t a whole lot of federal money being laundered to support these parasites and their NGO safety net any more.

Fixed it.

Probably the first time those hippies have had a bath in a long time.
They’ll be back with a new encampment shortly and it’ll start all over.

I have to find some good young people to get me back to thinking all young people aren’t bad.
Like Diogenes I should carry a lantern and search for one.
My region is 85% or higher always Dem voting in Michigan.

What? So unfair to Antifa! Why didn’t some liberal federal judge issue an order stopping that?
I dunno. Maybe federal judges don’t work on weekends.
🤔
Flame throwers work a lot faster!

Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head
by BJ Thomas (updated).
Raindrops are falling’ on my head
But that doesn’t mean my face won’t soon be turning red
‘till GOP creeps are dead
‘Cause I’m never gonna stop old Trump by complaining
Because I’m free
Nothing’s stopping me.
So I just did me some talking to Soros’ son
And I said I didn’t like the way he got things done,
gimme bombs and some ARs for fun
And I’ll wipe the GOP out
Raise a big shout
‘Cause nothing’s worrying me.
I can smell the picture in the header.
Nuke ‘em and spank them into a country that deserves them.
Wait.
They will receive more funding, new marching orders, and they will resume their antics.
Until these things change, it will be a game of whack-a-mole: Portland Mayor, Governor of Oregon, Portland Police Chief, DA.
Good bet that you're correct.
Wow, that is a sharply written piece.
Funny how tolerant the Democrats are of this kind of thing when it’s their comrades doing it.
They all look like they need to see a shrink and wear their Ghillies suits in public. They look like they really stink.
There is no such thing as ‘Antifa’ - Jimmy Kibble................
They look emaciated and soft..................
140 days?
They lasted longer than Kamala!
The only reason this is happening is because the Portland democrats were about to lose the case against the national Guard.
