Members of the infamous (Antifa) cell in Portland are anxious after an informant in their midst gave information to police, leading to (leading to arson charges), Antifa expert Andy Ngo says,They’re panicking because this may possibly mean that somebody has infiltrated high … and there’s a lot at risk, because this is a criminal cartel,” Ngo said Saturday on NTD’s (“The Nation Speaks.”)

There are, I think, many on the left who really don’t want to see covid hysteria end. Ever, or at least until it can be replaced by something else. Thus, deep-blue Oregon is contemplating a permanent mask-wearing requirement. A top health official is considering indefinitely extending rules requiring masks and social distancing in all businesses in the state. The proposal would keep the rules in place until they are “no longer necessary to address the effects of the pandemic in the workplace.” Michael Wood, administrator of the state’s department of Occupational Safety and Health, said the move is necessary to...

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — As states around the country lift COVID-19 restrictions, Oregon is poised to go the opposite direction — and many residents are fuming about it. A top health official is considering indefinitely extending rules requiring masks and social distancing in all businesses in the state. The proposal would keep the rules in place until they are “no longer necessary to address the effects of the pandemic in the workplace.” Michael Wood, administrator of the state’s department of Occupational Safety and Health, said the move is necessary to address a technicality in state law that requires a “permanent”...

the plan, which would involve Idaho expanding its border to the Pacific Ocean, could grow Idaho's population by 50% and make it the nation's third-largest state in terms of area, KTVB reports. The plan calls for around three-quarters of Oregon becoming part of Idaho. Supporters say residents of parts of southeast Washington and northern California would also welcome the chance to become part of a red state.

The Idaho Legislature would have to approve the plan that would expand Idaho’s southwestern border to the Pacific Ocean. The Oregon Legislature and the U.S. Congress would also have to sign off. Supporters of the idea said rural Oregon voters are dominated by liberal urban areas such as Portland, and would rather join conservative Idaho. Portland would remain with Oregon. “There’s a longtime cultural divide as big as the Grand Canyon between northwest Oregon and rural Oregon, and it’s getting larger,” Mike McCarter, president of Move Oregon’s Border for a Greater Idaho, told Idaho lawmakers.

Activists tagged the building with graffiti reading “F**K ICE” and “This is indigenous land.” They also set a fire, fired a flare above the roof and threw eggs at the door.Parts of the fence around the ICE facility in Portland OR have been dismantled by protesters & laid...

The mob chanted: 'Every city, every town, burn the precinct to the ground!' The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement building in Portland was vandalized and set on fire late Saturday night. Videos show federal agents reacting by firing crowd control munitions at the crowd of black bloc rioters in Oregon's most populated city. Shortly before midnight, nearly 100 black bloc demonstrators gathered at the ICE building in Portland for a planned protest, according to independent journalist Grace Morgan. The ICE building was vandalized with graffiti, including "DHS murders." Agitators barricaded the front door of the building with a chain link...

Portland, Oregon’s City Council approved $1.4 million for “unarmed” patrols to be stationed in parks to fight gun crime. KGW reports there will be “two dozen” such patrols, working a schedule that ensures someone is working “around-the-clock.

During one of the most disgusting interviews in recent memory Oregon Democrat Gov. Kate Brown went on a bizarre and rambling tangent where she supported Antifa rioters who ravaged Portland for several months straight last year. In the interview with Democracy Now, a left-leaning podcast, Brown concentrated the blame on Trump, vowed to use local law enforcement to “eradicate” Trump “forces,” and then seemingly sympathizes with Michael Reinoehl, the ANTIFA terrorist who killed a Trump supporter in downtown Portland who later died in a shootout with the feds. “Shame on Donald Trump,” she said when asked about Trump warning rioters...

Many Portland, Oregon Police officers and supervisors left the state’s largest police force over the last year by taking early retirement or by quitting, according to The Oregonian. City employees who turned in their badges or retired were brutally honest about their reasons for getting out. "The community shows zero support. The city council are raging idiots, in addition to being stupid. Additionally, the mayor and council ignore facts on crime and policing in favor of radical leftist and anarchists’ fantasy. What’s worse is ppb command (Lt. and above) is arrogantly incompetent and cowardly," one retiring detective wrote, reports the...

In February, a mascot survey was sent to students and staff. They submitted 420 different nominations, said Ellen Whatmore, a teacher at Ida B. Wells who served on the committee to find a new name and mascot. The massive list of potential mascots was narrowed down to just five, with the evergreen tree being the frontrunner. But just before the Portland Public Schools Board of Education's vote to approve the new mascot Tuesday, March 30, Director Michelle DePass shared community concerns of an unwanted correlation between Ida B. Wells—the historic Black activist, and Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist who documented and crusaded...

During a patriotic cruise through Salem, Oregon, several black bloc clad antifa terrorists turned out to head off what they, for some reason, think are a bunch of racist white supremacists, one old man got caught up in fray. His truck was pummeled by debris, shattering windows and hitting him. As he gets out of his truck, the terrorists continue to throw objects at him as they close in. Surrounded and under direct threat, the old man draws his pistol and racks a round. Now the big bad antifa thugs realize they’ve messed with the wrong guy, and they quickly...

Last year’s gargantuan $2.3 trillion appropriations bill did a couple of very obvious things: It provided millions of Americans badly needed coronavirus relief aid and it averted an impending government shutdown. It also dealt with … UFOs. The legislation, which President Donald Trump signed into law, was a bureaucratic nesting doll that ran more than 5,500 pages and contained the Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021, which itself carried an unusual provision in its “committee comment” section, beneath the understated heading “Advanced Aerial Threats.” The stipulation mandates that the director of national intelligence work with the secretary of defense...

This is the moment a Trump supporter pulled a gun on rock-throwing Antifa protesters after they vandalized his truck and maced him during a rally near the Oregon Capitol. Footage captured the demonstrators spraying paint across the windscreen of the man's truck and smashing the tail lights in Salem on Sunday. The driver, who was wearing an American flag sweater, stepped out of his vehicle as he engaged with the protesters.
