Footage of the stunt went viral, as Anderson later told Fox News that officials instructed them to step away from the podium and get out of the shots of...

    Antifa militants have begun conducting identity checks outside the ICE facility in Portland, Oregon, in an attempt to safeguard their ongoing 24/7 anti-ICE occupation, which has persisted for more than a month. On Saturday, black bloc militants, who had been concealing their identities behind facial coverings, singled out masked individuals in the crowd and made them take off their masks to reveal their identities. The targeted individuals had either their cell phones or cameras displayed. An Antifa mob surrounded at least one independent videographer, identified as Matt Adams, after getting singled out for being "undercover." As a result, Adams left...

    People coming of political age in the last decade or so were no doubt shocked to learn of the Biden administration’s insane plan for saving the northern spotted owl from purported extinction. According to the Fish and Wildlife Service, the agency responsible for implementing the Endangered Species Act, preserving the owl requires slaughtering nearly half a million barred owls at a cost, opponents say, of $1.3 billion over the next 30 years. That is so, the FWS maintains, because the larger, aggressive barred owl is killing its cousin at a prodigious rate. Perhaps more stunning to these political newcomers is...

Auditors found one in 35 voters didn’t have proof of citizenship — then looked the other way.Oregon officials discovered in September hundreds of potential noncitizens had registered to vote. They examined limited data and eventually found the motor voter system had placed more than 1,600 possible ineligible voters on the rolls. State leaders commissioned an audit — which, as Oregon journalist Jeff Eager first reported, found...

    OPINION: The First Amendment exists to protect dissent and divergent opinions, not just ideas that align with rigid campus orthodoxy The University of Oregon just learned a very costly lesson about free speech. This cautionary tale began in June 2022, when Portland State University Professor Bruce Gilley responded to a University of Oregon Division of Equity and Inclusion “racism interrupter” post on Twitter by retweeting it with the comment “all men are created equal.” Ironically, it seems that UO’s definition of “inclusion” didn’t include tolerance for the principle of colorblindness. Rather than recognizing that Gilley’s quote from the Declaration of...

    PORTLAND, Ore. — A woman who lives near the South Portland ICE facility and its near-nightly protests is suing the city over the noise. Sirens, bullhorn messages from protesters, buzzers, bells and revving engines are among the cacophony Cloud Elvengrail says are making her home, where she's lived since last July, "akin to a torture chamber." According to the lawsuit, Elvengrail lives in low-income housing, Gray's Landing, across the street from the ICE facility, as well as near a Tesla showroom. She said the noises have been happening well into the night for weeks, with the lawsuit describing an incident...

    New CEO Lip-Bu Tan is streamlining Intel’s operations and reducing spending in response to a sharp downturn in sales and technological setbacks that rendered Intel an also-ran in an industry it helped invent. Intel had been firing workers all last week but then Friday evening came word the company plans to lay off nearly 2,400 Oregon workers. Intel’s position in the industry has slumped badly. The company’s market value is around $100 billion, about half what it was just 18 months ago. Nevertheless, the company is hugely important to Oregon as one of its largest private employers. Across the U.S.,...

    PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) – A new report puts a price tag on just how much money is being spent on the homeless in the Portland metro area, and it isn’t small.

    The largest teachers union in America has voted to cut all ties with the Anti-Defamation League — which called the move “profoundly disturbing” as antisemitic attacks in the US are at a record high. The National Education Association, which is also the US’s largest union with more than 3 million members, approved a proposal Sunday to drop the ADL as an education partner, accusing the New York-based Jewish civil rights group of using the term antisemitism to punish any and all criticisms of Israel. “Allowing the ADL to determine what constitutes antisemitism would be like allowing the fossil-fuel industry to...
