If the name Alek Skarlatos sounds familiar, you’ve most likely heard of him for being one of the servicemen who thwarted a terror attack on a Paris train in 2015, subduing and disarming a *SUSPECTED* jihadist who opened fire with an AK47. The Oregon resident was awarded the Distinguished Service medal by Governor Kate Brown and the Soldiers Medal by the U.S. Army, and he would go on to star on a season of Dancing With The Stars. He would then star as himself in a Clint Eastwood produced movie about the aforementioned train attack.
Then Skarlatos decided he’d had enough with crazed leftist antics, and decided to run for Congress against entrenched incumbent, and far left lunatic, Peter DeFazio, who first won the seat in 1986.
As we near election night, Skarlatos and DeFazio are running neck-and-neck in the polls. Save for his original run and the 2010 Tea Party year election, which were both marginally close, DeFazio has won the seat by at least 15 percentage points every election...
The Cook Political Report rates the district (which includes the city of Eugene) as even, with Hillary winning the district by .1% over Trump in 2016. Even though solid polling data is next to impossible to find, Real Clear Politics lists the race as a toss-up...
Rasmussen Report changed the district rating from “Safe Democratic” to “Likely Democratic” in July. That’s partly because the district’s two progressive college towns... The report warned that changes to the academic school year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, including remote learning, could affect the election results.
Skarlatos has aligned himself with the far-right wing of the GOP. He is endorsed by Sen. Tom Cotton R-Arkansas, Stephen Moore — who advised Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign — and Arthur Laffer.

I hope Skarlatos wins, but you know that if he does, the legislature will chop up his district next year.
Let’s beat Peter!
There are a number of races to keep your eye on.
This is clearly one.
The OR Democrat party did nothing but try and cover up the Portland Riots.
This will tell us if the Oregon voters have woken out of their long slumber
Congress can only benefit with more real American Heros in office.
Fight back Oregon. Redefeat communism.
Speaking of remaps here’s what happened in Chicago no one talks about but should have been an issue used by the GOP IN THE RACE FOR HOUSE SEATS EVERYONE RUNNING UNDER THE DEMON-O-CRAT LABEL VOTED FOR THESE TWO ISSUES
ABORTION FUNDING SUPPORT AND THIS
FORCE Schools To Let Male Athletes Compete In Girls’ Sports...Any Dem congressman who didn’t support this got kicked out by holding their primary in remapped districts.
Why aren’t those votes an issue in this 2020 campaign by the Republicans ?
.. Democratic candidate for America’s Vice President California and likely presidential replacement Sen. Kamala Harris sponsored a Senate bill that would that would force funding public schools to allow biologically male athletes who identify as transgender on girls’ sports teams.
In March 2019, Harris cosponsored the Equality Act, which would amend the Civil Rights Act of 1964 . Among other things, the bill would force public schools to expand female athletic teams to include biological males who identify as transgender girls

.. HERE’S HOW THEY TREATED CONSERVATIVE CONGRESSIONAL DEMOCRATS WHO DONT SUPPORT FUNDING STUFF LIKE THIS
.. And why there is no such thing as a Conservative Dem in Congress An example is Illinois 3rd district
..
Todays Democrats weren’t happy with this father then son votes against abortion and the son’s being the only congressional democrat to vote NO on allowing men to to call themselves a women and compete with women in college sports. To stop this the demoncrats decided to remap the areas which supported them for their 2020 primary.
The ward (the 23rd) and the congressional district formerly the 5th which they changed into being the 3rd Illinois congressional by taking ward areas which had areas dominated by hispanic fore names and placed them into the Louis Gutierez district.
In the reshaped 3rd Congressional district primary Daniel Lipinski lost because of this redistricting. Of a district which had previously included adjacent Chicago city wards to his 23rd. which was “re-mapped in 2012 after former alderman and ward committeeman now congressman William O Lipinski annouced his retirement and wanted his son for his congressional replacement .
The remap was replacing ward boundaries of the 14th known as the stockyards which had experienced extensive demographic changes. They chopped up and placed sections of streets and blocks that were not only in the 23rd but the of adjacent 12th and 15th wards and made them the 14th ward
Now because Chicago alderman oversee routing of such things as garbage collections and getting city services . Some have complained of seeing rodents since as well as complained of poor road maintenance on their block. Because with this remap if your residence was in one ward your neighbor across the street or a block down is might be in another ward
.. The 5th was a district in the 1950’s which was a part of the third largest school district in the country run by the Catholic Archdiocese of Chicago. Those city wards were primarily composed of dozens of traditional value family oriented Catholic/Christian communities centered around their churches and their schools. Hence opposed to funding such things as abortion and LGBT activities rather for issues that dealt exclusively with city issues such as a subway L service and the Stevenson Expressway.
These Wards once were reliable supporters of Dan’s father, William O Lipinski. But after the 2012 redistricting the number of precincts in the 23rd were cut back to 39 and even their ward headquarters location was stuck in another ward.
And where many wards had areas with Hispanic last names those areas were redistricted and assigned to the Louis Gutieriez’s district. In areas where buildings were abandoned affected by the no money down home mortgages or had changed because of this. The ward such as the 14th known as Back of The Yards because of the former stock yards which has since relocated was remapped to include portions of other wards mainly the 23rd which Those results actually tear up the concept of a neighborhood and pit people against each other by using division.
In some of those wards areas of city blocks which were zoned exclusively for single family dwellings residents suddenly found their neighborhood having houses torn down and being replaced with multiple apartments with the units not required to furnish parking facilities and many renters were illegals. Much of which fit the plans for the suburbs

He’s aligned with the “far right wing” of the GOP?
What nonsense from the author of this piece. It’s the type of garbage label the mainstream media reflexively puts on every populist party in Europe that dares oppose mass immigration.
So what will they do if Skarlatos wins, riot?
I think the House seats are the Republican sneak attack. It is not on the radar of the media.
I know it sounds crazy, but the President has a realistic chance of winning Oregon—maybe not 50-50, but a realistic chance.
You may be correct. It will depend on how fed up the people in Oregon are with what is happening in Portland. It may get people to vote who have not voted before.

Hoping for some downticket wins in WA too.
Starting with Culp for governor
Voted. Come and get me, Antifa, if you dare. The sound of freedom rings out all around my house on a daily basis.
No one deserves to lose as much as the decrepit dinosaur DeFazio, along with Schiff, Pelousi, Mad Maxine Waters and AOC, and Tlaib and every other demonrat.
Since we have 100% mail in ballots they will inform us how we voted later. I have no clue who or what determines who or what I voted for, my ballot goes to some unknown entity to be tallied and reported, I only have their word that my ballot was counted accurately. There may be a method to determine to check that I don't know about, but if there is it isn't widely known.
It’s not just the Portandlia riots. Many Oregonians are really ticked off by various state and federal ...... stuff.
Covid shutdowns, which most people capable of an independent thought know are nonsense. The summer wildfires and the week enveloped in a dense smoke cloud. Several of the largest fires were started by arson.
That’s what stood out to me too.
Print it up and spread it around your precinct
also this if the area has black residents
