The World Naked Bike Ride is planning an “emergency ride” in response to the National Guard’s deployment in Portland. The group posted on Instagram about an “Emergency World Naked Bike Ride” in the works. In the post, organizers say they’re getting ready to ride for another cause, responding to what they call the “militarization of our city.” The post says organizers are still working on the details, and it’s not clear exactly when the ride could take place. The World Naked Bike Ride typically happens every summer, where people bike in the buff to protest pollution from other forms of...

Tensions boiled over outside Portland’s ICE building late Thursday night when police detained independent reporter Nick Sortor during a confrontation with protesters. Sortor, known for his on-the-ground coverage of stories often overlooked by mainstream outlets, found himself in handcuffs after what witnesses described as a defensive response to an attack. VIDEOS AT LINK............ One observer, C.K. Bouferrache, who goes by Honeybadgermom on X, captured the confusion in real time: “Looked like @nicksortor got jumped. We are on the lower roof at ICE but difficult to tell exactly what happened at this distance. Portland liaison officers stand nearby and watch.” Bouferrache...

Following President Donald Trump’s announcement that he will deploy the National Guard to Portland, Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court against the Trump administration.

A journalist covering the “complete lawlessness” in Portland said she was left with a painful black eye when a masked “Antifa-affiliated protester” whacked her in the face with a flagpole. Post Millennial reporter Katie Daviscourt appeared on Fox News Wednesday night with a big bruise under her right eye suffered while covering the nightly protests outside an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) building in the long-troubled Oregon city.

On Sunday night, per President Trump's orders, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth mobilized National Guardsmen to Portland, Oregon, to defend federal agents involved in the arrest and deportation of illegal criminals. 200 members of the Oregon National Guard will be called into Federal service effective immediately for a period of 60 days. If you've followed the news over, well, the last decade, you know Portland is a hotbed for transgender communist violence. We have an entire category dedicated to its weird brand of lawlessness on our site. Anticipating the order, or just desiring some more "mostly peaceful" fun, a group...

Let’s be clear. There is zero cause or justification for President Donald Trump to send federal troops to Portland and authorize “full force.” Despite Trump’s bluster over the very limited protests outside the Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in South Portland, the city is not “war ravaged,” nor is the ICE building “under siege” by “domestic terrorists.” Portlanders, of course, know this already, because we live, work and raise our families here. We know from our daily routines – school drop-offs, commutes through the city and evening get-togethers – that Trump’s characterizations are divorced from reality. While the modest protests...

Following President Trump's announced intention to surge federal forces into Portland, Oregon, where riots are held daily outside Immigration and Customs Enforcement headquarters, the useful idiots of Anti Profa are planning a "direct action" for Sunday, September 28th. This is a significant escalation. As is so often the case, the independent journalist and Antifa foe Andy Ngo broke the news.A direct action has been planned for Sept. 28 at the Portland ICE facility after Trump issued a statement that he plans to send in troops to protect the federal property. Antifa and communists have said they refuse to back down...

President Donald Trump has ordered troops to be sent to Portland, Oregon, a Democratic-run city he described as 'war ravaged' and besieged by left wing 'domestic terrorists'. He made the announcement Saturday on his Truth Social account and said the move was necessary to protect ICE facilities under attack by Antifa, a loosely organized far-left movement that is against fascism. 'I am directing Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, to provide all necessary Troops to protect War ravaged Portland, and any of our ICE Facilities under siege from attack by Antifa, and other domestic terrorists,' Trump wrote. Trump also said he...

Portland Antifa militants got a personal message from federal officers about how this whole designated-terrorist-organization thing is going to work. On Thursday night of this week, federal protective officers paid a visit to an Antifa safe house in the West Coast, Messed Coast™ city of Portland, Ore. This feel-good story leads this week's West Coast, Messed Coast™ report. [snip] Since at least July, Antifa has been using an apartment across from the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) headquarters in Portland, Ore., as a bathroom, refreshment stand, and place of respite. The apartment has also been used as a dressing room...

City officials in Sisters, Ore., are being accused of trying to ban construction of a bronze cowboy statue over fears that it will draw conservatives to town, according to the UK Daily Mail. The proposal to erect a bronze statue rodeo star Lane Frost riding Red Rock the bull in the middle of a roundabout has divided the Eastern Oregon town of 4,000. Mayor Jennifer Letz said it might post safety concerns by blocking sight distance and drawing too much attention inside the roundabout. A council member expressed concern over drivers hitting people stopping to view the statue. But an...

In the fall of 2015, a student government colleague hustled me into a private room in the University of Oregon library to meet a visitor I “had to meet” before his flight out of Eugene. Tall, skinny, and with a grin from ear to ear, Charlie was in Eugene to flip our student government conservative. At a place like Oregon, just scraping together a slate of non-liberals was a stretch. But Charlie was ambitious and wanted to use Oregon as a trial run for flipping student governments at deeply progressive universities across the country. I was involved in student government,...

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Cornelius City Councilor John Colgan is under criticism for a post he made about Charlie Kirk’s death on Facebook. “Hearing that Charlie Kirk got shot and died really brightened up my day,” Colgan said in the post. “Nobody deserves it, but some are asking for it.” Colgan is also a science teacher at Neil Armstrong Middle School in Forest Grove, according to the school’s website. He was elected to the Cornelius City Council in January 2023. He served previously from January 2019 to December 2022. As first reported by WIRED, right-wing activists and influencers nationwide have...

Four Democrat-run states have issued their own vaccine guidelines after Florida banned all mandates. The governors of California, Oregon and Washington state announced this week they have formed the West Coast Health Alliance in an effort to 'ensure residents remain protected by science, not politics.' The alliance plans to review scientific data and make vaccine recommendations for residents in these states that are independent from federal guidelines. These guidelines will sidestep those enacted by the Trump administration and vaccine skeptic Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr, including recent restrictions on the Covid shot. It's the first blue-state...

After burying multiple Democratic Senators intent on trying to destroy his political career, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. got his chance to dunk on arguably the most notorious Senators in America. As expected, he did not disappoint. As NBC News reported, Kennedy appeared before the Senate Finance Committee to answer questions. This comes one week after Kennedy pushed the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention director, Susan Monarez, to resign. The White House fired her when she refused, and three top CDC officials then resigned in protest. The hearing got testy in a hurry after far-left, Big Pharma hack...

On Tuesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “11th Hour,” Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield (D) stated that if President Donald Trump is successful in his legal battle to use emergency powers to implement tariffs, then when a Democrat becomes president, “we’re going to have an emergency on climate change and maybe we’ll start putting tariffs on oil.” Rayfield said, “I wish that we could sit here and have a real, candid conversation with Republicans who support this and say, listen, we’re going to get a Democratic president in here soon, and what’s good for the goose is good for the gander. And...

“Four more Portland Antifa riot suspects have been federally charged over the ongoing insurrection against the ICE facility. This brings the total federally charged so far to 17, devastating the numbers Antifa need to attack the building night after night. The cases are not being dropped immediately. Dozens of local Antifa riot cases have also not been dropped by the moderate district attorney, Nathan Vasquez. (Vasquez, running on a law and order platform, won against radical leftist incumbent Mike Schmidt in November last year.)”

Adjusting for inflation, national gas prices are...
