Free Republic

You know an unprincipled man is desperate when he turns to his last resort which is doing the right thing.

Even though his motive is purely political.

Nothing wrong with that.

Sometimes it takes awhile for career hacks to learn doing the right thing is more often than not good politics.

“REALLY glad I left!”

Good job, always stay ahead of problems when it comes to living location, it’s one of the most important things in life.

only time democrats make spending cuts is the day they die.

Not just equalizing men, but equalizing women as well.

The late Harry Browne said:

“A handgun is a girl’s best friend.”

And, “The only thing that stops a rape is a gun.”

Colonel Colt himself (supposedly) said:

“God created men, but Sam Colt made them equal”.

“This slogan reflects the idea that Colt’s revolver democratized personal defense, allowing individuals of any physical stature or strength to stand on equal footing in confrontations, effectively leveling the playing field.”

Love my handguns, I own two.

The rioters have been beating the crap out of independent reporters and local residents. Portland police won’t come out to assist their own citizenry.

I actually considered watching his show that one time but could not. I did not want to contribute to his ratings.

It’s more of a declaration that I don’t know everything But The Truth is out there.

I have lunch friends who don't support "certain things", but they'll still vote Democrat every time.

105 days of riots.

Hickory shampoo time!

Grok:

“ The riots and violent clashes at the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in southwest Portland, Oregon, began on June 14, 2025, when hundreds of protesters used a stop sign as a battering ram to break the facility’s front door, prompting Portland police to declare a riot and federal officers to deploy tear gas, smoke, flash grenades, and other munitions. This marked the start of nightly disturbances, often escalating into assaults on officers, property damage (including graffiti and arson attempts), doxxing of ICE personnel, and use of fireworks, rocks, and flares against the building. As of September 27, 2025, these events have continued without significant interruption for 105 days (or roughly 3.5 months), with federal agents frequently using pepper balls, tear gas, and arrests to disperse crowds blocking the driveway or attempting to storm the site.
While some demonstrations have remained peaceful during the day, the federal government and local reports describe a pattern of nightly “siege” by Antifa-affiliated groups, leading to over two dozen arrests for charges like assault on officers, criminal mischief, and disorderly conduct. Portland’s progressive city council has largely avoided intervening beyond monitoring, citing free speech, while issuing land-use violation notices against ICE itself for unrelated permit issues like overnight detentions. President Trump has escalated federal presence in response, threatening National Guard deployment to quell what he calls “anarchy,” though local leaders urge de-escalation to avoid provocation. Recent incidents include a September 20 mob assault on reporters and civilians, and a September 26 surge in federal agents amid warnings of potential violence.”

I just checked the home value of the place I sold back over 10 years ago.
Great location and a fantastic home on the west end of town.
400k LESS than I expected and every home near it is also priced lower than I expected.
Clearly the crime, Antifa and the lack of jobs has hit Portland hard.
REALLY glad I left!

High time. Portland has become a leftist sewer.

That is the only way to handle this situation, along with identifying the money behind the groups that are protesting, and prosecute them.

You are so right. DEI is. Grift and money laundering operation.

It’s awful how dumbed down as a society we have become that there are people who actually believe or waste time and throw money at these worthless grifters.
