    The Portland police chief is brazenly defying federal authorities and refusing to cooperate with Donald Trump and Tom Homan’s plan for deporting illegal alien criminals. Sounds as if it’s time for the feds to investigate and perhaps arrest the police chief. Portland police chief Bob Day issued a community letter on Jan. 28, proudly affirming Portland’s unconstitutional sanctuary city policies, announcing his determination to flout federal law enforcement arresting criminal illegal aliens, and therefore publicizing as much as possible his corruption and illegal activities. Considering that ICE is currently focused on deporting the most dangerous illegal alien criminals, including murderers...

    A lawsuit filed on behalf of protesters during the 2020 Black Lives Matter riots in Portland has resulted in a settlement agreement with the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Oregon. The settlement includes financial compensation to individuals who claimed they were harmed by the actions of federal law enforcement deployed during the unrest. The lawsuit alleged that federal agents, sent to Portland by the Trump administration, had “beaten, shot, and abducted” protesters, journalists, and medics. It argued that the force used by law enforcement violated the constitutional rights of individuals to peacefully protest.

    Portland’s lame-duck Democratic district attorney is angling to reduce the sentences of several violent criminals, including a convicted murderer, days before his tough-on-crime replacement takes office. Multnomah County District Attorney Mike Schmidt, who was voted out of office on Election Day, petitioned an Oregon judge on Monday to reconsider the sentences of eight individuals – which could result in reduced charges and see the convicts freed from prison, according to Oregon Live. “These have all the appearance of a last-minute giveaway,” Multnomah County District Attorney-elect Nathan Vasquez, the Republican-turned-independent who defeated Schmidt, told the outlet. “They’re extremely violent individuals who...

    A Portland woman told a group of homeless men she suspected of stealing her phone that she had no problem with them ripping off “rich scum’’ — just not her, new video shows. The woman — taking a page out of the city’s left-wing activist playbook — was seen in the X footage Thursday pleading with the vagrants at a bus stop in the Oregon city when her phone went missing. “Basically, I am not — if you stole it from rich scum, by all means keep it and sell it,” the woman tells the suspected thieves as she tries...

    Experiencing a city on foot gives you the freedom to amble from one attraction to another, discovering hidden bars, quirky shops, and lesser-known spots along the way. It’s also free and reduces your carbon footprint. But what makes a city pedestrian-friendly? In 2023, the sustainable living nonprofit organization Smart Growth America released their Foot Traffic Ahead report, which analyzed factors such as how easily residents in America’s largest metro areas can walk from their homes to amenities, the distances between blocks, and access to public transportation. So, lace up some comfortable footwear and explore the most walkable cities in the...

    A Wisconsin man was sentenced to 7 1/2 years in federal prison in April for attempting to damage a building occupied by a pro-life organization on May 8, 2022, because he was upset that Roe v. Wade might be overturned. Hridindu Sankar Roychowdhury pled guilty in December 2023 to firebombing the office of CompassCare in Madison, Wisconsin, just days after the draft Supreme Court decision of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization was leaked to the press. At about six in the morning on May 8, police responded to a call about a fire in the office building. Inside a...

The two arson incidents, which occurred near the Oregon-Washington border, are also believed to be connected to a third ballot box incident that occurred earlier this month in Vancouver, Washington, police said. In the first reported incident on Monday, Portland police responded to a fire at a ballot box around 3:30 a.m. local time, police said. Security at the Multnomah County Elections Division responded and extinguished the fire, officials said.

    by Jeff ChildersFailed assassin Ryan Routh was in federal court yesterday, in a hearing quite logically called the “first appearance.” Fox covered the story under the headline, “Trump assassination attempt suspect laughs, smiles during first court appearance in Florida.” Routh was apparently cracking jokes with his public defender, which sounds annoying but could just be his way of managing anxiety. Details were sparsely provided, but this most interesting paragraph leaped out: Right away, we see some problems. For Portlanders, Routh claimed an annual income of $36,000 — far below the poverty level. Which means there is a lot of mysterious...
