Seattle Discovers Firing Police Chief Creates Exactly One New Emergency

In a shocking development that absolutely no one outside Seattle City Hall could have predicted, Seattle Mayor and Democrat comrade, Katie Wilson, has managed to turn one public safety disaster into two.

Police Chief Shon Barnes is out. Officially, he "resigned." In political English, that usually means someone politely handed him a cardboard box and had him escorted toward the exit.

Barnes took the fall after the chaotic response to last weekend's Bite of Seattle shooting that left three people dead. Unfortunately, being the city's top cop while spending significant time somewhere else apparently tested even Seattle's famously flexible workplace standards.

According to KOMO News:

After multiple Seattle City Council members told KOMO News that Mayor Katie Wilson asked Seattle Police Chief Shon Barnes to resign Wednesday night, and that the mayor has confirmed to the council that there will be a "transition" in the Chief's office, the mayor's office officially released a statement announcing the resignation Thursday.

The mayor is appointing Deputy Chief Andre Sayles as Interim Chief of the Seattle Police Department, the announcement said.

"Chief Barnes has served this department and this city with dedication, and I am grateful for his service," said Mayor Wilson. "The courage and professionalism that the officers of the Seattle Police Department showed deserves to be honored. I share Chief Barnes' hope that we can return our focus to addressing youth gun violence and ensuring that every family can feel safe in their neighborhood and across the city."

Seattle then immediately remembered it is Seattle.

Rather than debating whether the city's leadership failed to keep residents safe, the political conversation quickly shifted to whether firing a Black police chief was itself the real crisis. Black civil rights leaders reportedly confronted Wilson, demanding answers and hoping she would reverse course.

Apparently, in modern progressive governance, every personnel decision comes with a complimentary identity politics audit.

Wilson now finds herself trapped in the classic progressive paradox. If crime goes unchecked, voters complain. If she fires the official responsible, activists complain. If she hires another police chief, someone will probably demand the position be abolished altogether. 

Welcome to socialism, boys and girls.

For a mayor whose executive experience could generously be described as "under construction," this episode has reinforced what many Seattle residents were already beginning to suspect. Running campaign rallies is considerably easier than running a city where bullets have developed a habit of interrupting food festivals.

Seattle wanted transformational leadership. Instead, it got a master class in how to create a second controversy before the first one has finished making headlines.

Oregon Gov. moonwalks backwards, recriminalizing illicit drugs again

Drug hideout

Oregon's Democrat Gov. Tina Kotek is finished with the stoner state's slow deterioration in large part due to the left's decriminalization of illicit drugs. Seeing used needles, homeless addicts living in tents on the streets of cities like Seattle, isn't a good look for her and her political ambitions, so she will sign a bill to make it a crime to use illicit drugs. It isn't so much that she or others in her party care about the misery drug use brings to town, but it's more about her and her ilk staying in power.

House Bill 4002 reverses the short-lived Measure 110, a 2020 law that leftist voters approved of to decriminalize most illegal possession of controlled substance offenses, and take the marijuana tax revenue to fund grants for addition service interventions.

"I intend to sign House Bill 4002 and the related prevention and treatment investments within the next 30 days. As governor, my focus is on implementation," a desperate Kotek (D) said in a statement Thursday.

The 2020 measure has allowed a skyrocketing of overdose deaths over the last two years.

HB 4002 will now give druggies an ultimatum: Be criminally charged or get treatment if you get caught with drugs such as like fentanyl and methamphetamine.

It also makes the possession of small amounts of drugs such as heroin or methamphetamine a misdemeanor, punishable by up to six months in jail or a harsh scolding, and it enables cops to confiscate the drugs and crack down on their use on sidewalks and in parks.

The bill also aims to make it easier to prosecute people who sell drugs and increase access to addictive medication.

Druggie (D-OR)

"My office will work closely with each implementing authority to set expectations, specifically in response to the Criminal Justice Center’s Racial Equity Impact Statement, which projected disproportionate impacts to communities of color and the accompanying concerns raised by advocates. House Bill 4002 will require persistent action and commitment from state and local government to uphold the intent that the legislature put forward: to balance treatment for individuals struggling with addiction and accountability," the statement read.

Kotek (D), Portland Mayor Ted 'Do Nothing' Wheeler (D) and Multnomah County Chair Jessica Vega Pederson (D) declared a 90-day state of emergency last month for downtown Portland (D) over the public health and public safety crisis fueled by fentanyl (China).

Portland private security guard Michael Bock spoke with Fox News last month saying that fentanyl overdoses rose by 533% in Multnomah County, the state's most populous county, between 2018 and 2022. Dealers sell drugs on the street with "absolute impunity," he said, and hand out drugs like they are a "7-Eleven."

"With this bill, we are doubling down on our commitment to make sure Oregonians have access to the treatment and care that they need," Senate Majority Leader Kate Lieber (D) of Portland said. She is one of the bill's authors and said that its passage will "be the start of real and transformative change for our justice system."

FBI arrests man with gender dysphoria threatened to kill "Trans Phobes" may have Alt-Right extremist ties

An Oregon man who thinks he's a woman was charged Friday for posting to a trans woman support group” that he planned to go out in a “blaze of glory,” after a search of his home found 27 guns and “tens of thousands of rounds of ammunition.”

The man goes by his new name, Elizabeth West. He was charged with making interstate threats based on the September 26 Facebook post to the group “Trans Woman Support Group,” after he said that he believed he was going to be terminated from his job and was tired of “trans phobic assholes.”

“I’m too old to keep looking for jobs and I’ve had it up to here being bullied by trans phobic assholes I am left with no alternative…,” West wrote, according to court documents. “I’ve been preparing for this moment for a long time at least then I’ll be remember [sic] I have no family no friends… So there really isn’t any point living any more?”

West wasn't arrested after the September interview but that was what ultimately led to the charges that got him arrested several months later after his social media was found to exhibit racial hatred toward black people, immigrants, and Jews.

According to the court documents his social media was, “A Nazi dominatrix from Hell, who is tired of the blackening of America and Europe and ready to stand up to the Black orcs and the Jewish Wizards.”

The arrest was first reported by CourtWatch.

West's animosity of other races appears to be heavily related to his gender mental illness. 

His hatred of black people, it says in court documents, is because they often “misgender” him and a group of black men once physically assaulted him. 

His hatred of immigrants was because he learned of an immigrant on Oregon’s public healthcare plan who received free transgender surgery, while he would have to pay to get his genitals mutilated.

West's social media had been monitored by the FBI for months and questioned him about his racial views. On January 9, they discovered he had made gun purchases and executed a search warrant and arrested the white supremacist.

The affidavit references “far-right terror,” “white supremacy,” and “alt-right extremism,” portraying the madman as a conservative terrorist.

He is by no means a conservative, as some people in the mainstream media would like you to believe. Conservatives hate haters like him.

High School testing sets bar at lowest level for 'essential skill' in Oregon

High school kids in Oregon don't need to know how to read, write or do math anymore. Their standardized testing scores began to fall continued to plummet in 2017 and fewer than 50 percent of students who took the math portion of the test passed. Only 53 percent passed the reading exam. So the solution for school officials wasn't to teach better, it was to lower expectations. Well, expectations have been lowered so much, they basically don't exist anymore.

Senate Bill 744 orders a review of state graduation requirements and does not require Oregon students in the classes of 2022, 2023 and 2024 to show proficiency in Essential Learning Skills in order to graduate. So rather than providing graduates with a mortarboard and diploma, students will get a dunce cap with a selfie of themselves standing next to the principal. 

The recent law passed the Oregon Legislature in June with a little testimony both for and against the bill.

However, about a month after its signing, newspaper articles and editorials started highlighting the bill, saying Oregon students don’t have to prove they can read, write, or do math to graduate. A Wall Street Journal editorial writes the bill is “Dumbing Oregon Down”.

It started in Oregon before blowing up to national and international coverage. Oregon House Minority leader Christine Drazen appeared on Fox News to talk about it. 

Conservative critics called the bill a misguided effort to support underserved students, [aka the soft bigotry of low expectation].

“Politicians and school officials in Oregon are embarrassed that too many minority children fail tests designed to confirm they’ve mastered the ‘essential skills’ that high school is meant to teach,” said WSJ in its editorial. “So in the name of racial equity, they’ve now done the progressive thing.”

The real problem is that their virtue signaling policy of "everyone gets a trophy" is failing to arm graduates with the requisites they need in order to succeed in the real world.

Halloween kiddy drag shows spark protests and threats

It's "Dragoween" time kiddies so tell Mommy and Daddy that you want to see men dressed up as cartoonish women while they have you sit on their bony laps and tell you stories of brave cross-dressers and their pronouns.

So how are your kids going to spend their Halloween--going door-to-door trick-or-treating' as they collect candy from strangers who may or may not have included a little bit of rainbow fentanyl as a trick? Or maybe you plan taking them to a drag show for children where they can be groomed into something they are not.

These so-called 'Dragoween' shows have sparked outrage, threats and protests in some states such as Florida, California and Oregon. For some reason, parents don't want their children being sexualized by guys dressed as whores. Can you believe it?

The events are touted as being suited for all ages and include slutty performances and story hours.

This week, drag show organizers in Orlando canceled a story hour, and others in Eugene, Oregon, called police to disperse violent protests at another. 

In California, complaints have driven administrators at the Encinitas Union School District to disown a Disney villain-themed drag show occurring Saturday as part of a queer youth “Boo Bash.”

“This is adult entertainment, it’s not for children,” said Kimberly Fletcher, president of the parental rights group Moms for America. “What do these drag queens want from our children? Our kids need their innocence.”

There it is: what they want is your child's innocence--it's obvious.

Bob Witeck, president of the LGBTQYADDAYADDA+1 marketing firm Witeck Communications, says there’s no right way to advertise the events with different political groups “vying for the votes of suburban women” in next month’s midterm elections.

“Drag has been around forever, but we’re in a toxic political environment right now,” Mr. Witeck said. 

No, the toxicity was created by the LGBTQ community by pushing their agenda onto our kids, into the schools and into the libraries. It's the disinfecting sunshine of the internet on these issues that have exposed these exposers.

He claimed that drag has “always been on the risqué side, with burlesque and innuendo,” but said most drag performers keep story hours clean for children, but that's bull crap. Children are supposed to be innocent and this is an assault on their innocence.

Oregon: 74 rioters indicted

Biden voters try to push down fence duringBLM
 protest in Portland, OR, July 25, 2020
(AP Photo/Marcio Jose Sanchez)

I am not talking about protests here--they are constitutionally appropriate and certainly not a crime. This is about rioting, looting, assaulting and murder. I am talking about anarchy hidden among clueless protesters.

U.S. Attorney for the District of Oregon, Billy Williams, sent out a press release naming 74 people who were indicted in the month of July and August for actions connected to rioting at or near the Hatfield Federal Courthouse in downtown Portland.

The vast majority of the alleged rioters were indicted between July 21 to July 31, however. Only two scumcrumpets were indicted in August.

On July 29th, state leaders announced that the Oregon State Police would be deployed to Portland to assist with containing the rioters. The state's law enforcement agreed with the Trump Administration that state and local law enforcement would clean out the Antifa/BLM staging areas set up in parks and in the streets surrounding the Courthouse. This is where the anarchists kept their logistical base of support for the nightly attacks on the Courthouse.

By the next day, the job was done and nightly attacks on the Federal Courthouse was almost totally stopped.

So the Antifa/BLM rioters shifted their nihilistic behavior to the Portland suburbs, targeting mostly County and Police Union buildings for their demonstrations and vandalism.

But the message is becoming ever more clear that the Trump Administration will no longer tolerate the rioting and looting anymore.

Let's hope they get the message.


C'mon, man. You know you want to follow Brain Flushings--it's free and worth every penny. And remember, every time you click on an ad, an angel gets its wings and a liberal sheds a tear.

Portland cops remove their heads from nether regions over Antifa masks

If a person walks into a bank with a mask on, the alarm bells figuratively sound, warning that a problem may exist. The same should hold for protest demonstrations in which people wear masks--they don't want to be identified and trouble is likely to take place.

On Saturday in Portland, Oregon, Andy Ngo, a journalist, was assaulted and suffered a bleeding brain injury, as well as other injuries, inflicted upon him by Antifa, a far-left fascist organization that pretends to be against fascism. On Wednesday, Police Chief Danielle Outlaw finally got her head out of her nether regions and called for anti-mask laws.

“We cannot allow people to continue to use the guise of free speech to commit a crime," Outlaw said.  "A lot of people are emboldened because they know they can’t be identified.’’

Ya think?

The problem is, the police stood down and did nothing when Ngo was being assaulted and others were videotaping the attack. Then when Ngo finally got away and approached police along the fringes of the protest for medical assistance, they told him he would have to walk through the Antifa crowd and make his way to the police station. 

In other words, it wasn't only about masks; it was about being told to stand down as the mayor, Ted Wheeler, is alleged to have ordered.

At a press conference, Outlaw “called for laws that would bar masks worn by demonstrators, allow police to fully videotape protests and give authorities greater control of protests by groups with a history of violence,” according to Oregon Live. She stated, "We have to do something differently … There were entities that planned a brawl in the city of Portland and no one seems to be upset about that. … Entities came here for a fight. … I don’t even know what they were protesting against.’’

Entities even knocked some buildings down in New York City back on September 11, 2001.

On Tuesday, the Portland Police Bureau noted, “There is no current law or ordinance prohibiting covering of the face in a protest and commission of a crime, which makes it more difficult for investigators to identify perpetrators of violence. This is exploited by criminals who engage in acts of violence. Per Oregon Revised Statute, 181A.250, law enforcement is unable to record demonstration events unless there is criminal activity occurring.”

The useless police chief dismissed accusations from Portland’s police union president that Mayor Ted Wheeler, who is also the city’s police commissioner, has “handcuffed’’ the police response to demonstrations. But if not Wheeler, then who? And why would the police union president lie? Cops don't want to stand-down and stand by as crimes are being committed--it isn't how they roll.

Ngo's lawyer, Harmeet Dhillon told Fox News on Tuesday that she was "going to sue everybody who the facts and the law support being sued,” adding, "The situation on the ground in Portland and policing is so bad that the sheriffs of the adjoining counties have refused to send mutual aid to Portland because they don't want their own officers to be attacked. Portland has been consistently understaffed these types of incidents, and there have been many incidents. They knew they were aware that this was going to happen and they did nothing to prevent it."

And if you don't believe Wheeler is behind the stand-down, you aren't paying attention.

On Wednesday, Outlaw addressed the issue of recording demonstrations. Oregon Live reported, “Outlaw also pushed for changes in the law that would allow police to continually record protests, instead of only when crimes are committed, which she said slows police investigations because they only have snapshots of what occurred.” Oregon Live noted that local civil rights groups have opposed such a move.

Sarah Armstrong, a spokeswoman for The American Civil Liberties of Oregon, a useless group of leftists, protested the implementation of an anti-mask law, saying, "A policy that prohibits wearing a mask to a protest will have police focusing on the wrong issue. Behavior is the issue, not the mask. It could be argued that the mask is an important symbolic part of a protester’s message...There are many legitimate reasons people wear ‘masks,’ including political and religious reasons.''

If you believe in a cause, why would you have to hide your identity? And if you believe in a cause so strongly that you hide your identity and bring along a crowbar with nothing to crow, maybe you shouldn't be allowed to hide your identity.

Saudi students gone: accused of serious U.S. crimes

Oregon -- A bunch of Saudi students accused of serious crimes in Oregon have gone on the lam, according to OregonLive.com . Federal agents are fairly certain that the Saudi government has helped all of them escape the U.S.

The latest case involves Abdulaziz Al Duways, a Saudi student accused of raping a classmate after giving her marijuana and shots of Jack Daniel’s. The scumbag had been arrested twice before for DUIs of intoxicants and failed to appear in court.

In this current case, Duways was required by the judge to relinquish his passport to his private defense lawyer. According to liberal Oregon law, bail can only be denied in cases of murder or treason and only 10 percent of the bail must be posted. So if you're planning to commit a crime, Oregon is a great place to do it.

The judge set bail at a half-million dollars. The required $50,000 was posted by an official from the Royal Consulate General of Saudi Arabia in Los Angeles. The Saudis have that kind of cash in the cushions of the harem couches.

Then before his trial, poof, Duways was gone.

A previous case saw Saudi national Abdulrahman Sameer Noorah, a Portland Community College student with a lot of names, accused of a hit-and-run death of a 15-year old Portland girl, similarly disappear two weeks before his trial which was scheduled for June 2017.

U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the U.S. Marshals Service now believe he cut his electronic tracking device, left his residence in a black SUV, used an illicit passport and escaped the country in a private plane – all with the help of the Saudi government.

This past July, 13 months after he disappeared, the Saudi informed the DHS that Noorah was back in Saudi Arabia.

And we still do business with these ass-clowns.

Investigations by OregonLive revealed there are “criminal cases involving at least five Saudi nationals who vanished before they faced trial or completed their jail sentence in Oregon. They include two accused rapists, a pair of suspected hit-and-run drivers and one man with child porn on his computer.”

Child porn in Saudi Arabia is considered art. After all, if Muhammed, the prophet of Islam, could marry a 6-year-old girl [named Ayisha] what's wrong with going to the video tape? And rape? If you show anything more than an ankle, you're asking for it, sister.

In all the cases, the young men were studying at a college or university in Oregan and getting assistance from Saudi Arabia. Some of the men have been traced back to Saudi Arabia.

In four of the cases, the Saudi government paid their bail and possibly their legal fees. All the men had surrendered their passports and all vanished while facing charges or jail time. Thus, we can bet dollars to donuts the Saudis got them new papers to escape justice.

The same lawyer was hired to represent the last four cases. “This [latest case] is even more evidence that the Saudi government has acted to help its citizens escape justice for crimes committed in Oregon,” said Sen. Ron Wyden, speaking to OregonLive.

The news outlet reports:

The number of Saudi students in the U.S. has surged since 2005, when the oil-rich nation created a generous scholarship program for those seeking to study abroad. 

The program covers full tuition, provides a monthly living stipend and offers other perks to those who attend American colleges or universities. 

More than 44,000 Saudis studied in the U.S. during the 2017-2018 academic year, according to data from the Institute of International Education. About 1,000 of them are at Oregon colleges and universities — second in the state only to China, figures show.

Did I mention that we still do business with these ass-clowns?

I hope that 2019 will be the year you follow Brain Flushings and have a few laughs while you get a conservative viewpoint.  Politics is the new NFL without the mindless kneeling and this blog will both inform you and hopefully entertain you bigly.

Oregon's new law allows the harvesting of roadkill for consumption

New York City roadkill--Illegal--do not eat
Photo: Rob Hoey

OREGON -- A new law had now gone into effect in the state on Tuesday that allows meat from roadkill to be harvested and consumed by humans. The question now is will Oregon require vehicle owners to register their rides as hunting weapons or will the state take a more libertarian stance?

The Associated Press reported on Tuesday that lawmakers in the state first approved the measure, Senate Bill 372, allowing deer and elk struck by vehicles to be legally salvaged for food in 2017. There is nothing in the bill to include unidentifiable roadkill such as those resulting from trucks where the remains can be anything from deer to big beaver. [Just kidding--you need to show the antlers or head of the critter.]

Under the legislation, state residents are required to submit an application for a permit no more than 24 hours after salvaging the elk or deer.

According to The Statesman Journal, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife will be providing free "roadkill salvage permits" to drivers who wish to harvest the road kill. No fish are expected to fall victim to vehicular homicide, and with Ted Kennedy gone, fish have nothing to worry about regarding automobile-related death.

Regulations for the permits require drivers to submit animal heads and antlers to the department within five business days.

It is still illegal to intentionally kill an animal to salvage it in the state, however, but that isn't going to stop some people from driving down deer and elk.

Oregon joins nearly 20 other states in allowing residents to harvest meat from roadkill.

I wish you a Happy New Years, my fellow conservatives. Health and happiness. I also wish that you would follow Brain Flushings into the New Year and comment on issues within.

Reporter assaulted by Antifa at #HimToo rally

It's time to declare Antifa a hate group or perhaps even a terrorist organization. They don't get to determine what is fascist, racist or hate speech. They, in fact, tend to be the fascists, not the people they protest against.

On Saturday a #HimToo demonstration was crashed by violent far-left Antifa members. They berated and physically assaulted a journalist, Andy C. Ngo, who was covering the demonstration. Ngo is also the editor of Quillette Magazine.

"I was assaulted by a mob of masked individuals in black. They also targeted my equipment. They called me a fascist and Islamophobe. They said my parents & grandparents would be ashamed of me," he said, adding, "It feels surreal to be treated this way by people who don't even know me."

The #HimToo demonstration was organized by a local activist Haley Adams. Its purpose was to bring awareness to male sexual assault victims and the falsely accused. By the end of the demonstration, six people were arrested.

"I feel a bit rattled by the experience. I've had things thrown at me before but today I was surrounded, cursed, and pushed by antifa," he said. He also pointed out that Portland police officers merely "stood by."

Ngo arrived at the rally around 2 p.m. and was met by Antifa fascists who started pushing him and telling him he was unwelcome. "I was accosted and pushed around by masked agitators," he said.

"You are not welcome in this park; not by me, not by any of us," a female fascist told him. It was discovered that the park was not hers nor did it belong to any private group but was a public park.

"That's okay. I don't need your permission to be here," Ngo properly responded, who then asked her several times to stop touching him.

"Get out of my walkway," she lied. "How about you get the f*** out of here, Andy!"

Then the fascists tried to shame him with their own shameful behavior: "Your parents would be embarrassed by you--and your grandparents--who have been oppressed by white men throughout history. You should be ashamed of yourself," said a masked white, self-loathing fascist.

At one point, Ngo was accosted and scumwafers sprayed his expensive camera equipment with Silly String©️which wasn't funny at all. Then they played music and laughed, but still it wasn't funny.

Ngo wanted to file a harassment report with Portland Police but the assailants were masked, and this is something that needs to be addressed right away.

And, without evidence, the fascists told Ngo that Portland "f***ing hates" him and said he's "a loser with no friends" and an "Islamophobe."

They make crap up.

Ngo said that when the rally was over, Antifa "chased down people trying to get to their cars and fought them."

It's time to put an end to this garbage.

And speaking of ends, one fascist exposed his butt to officers and flipped them off with the finger he uses to pick his nose.

Bonnie and Clyde get 'Out-Clyded' by an armed homeowner

The two miscreants

Happy Valley, Oregon -- a homeowner held a burglar at gunpoint after she caught him trying to leave her home with some of her stuff, while his lookout was cutting z's in the car, police said.

Police in Clackamas County responded to a burglary report at around 2:50 p.m. on October 18th, Portland's Fox 12 Oregon reported.

The arriving officers found homeowner Dawn Lisa-Des Voigne holding the miscreant at gunpoint. He was identified as 20-year-old Edward Cerf of Oregon City. Deputies said they found Cerf's presumed accomplice, Gabriella Solis, asleep in a vehicle parked a block away. Solis is reported to have told law enforcement that she was the designated lookout, because she was too stupid to pretend she was simply tired of driving.

Lisa-Des Voigne and her male companion, Troy Eton [which is "Note" spelled backwards] told cops they'd experienced multiple burglaries, which compelled them to install a security camera.

"We were tired of being victimized, tired of being traumatized and violated," Lisa-Des Voigne said.

She and her live-in lover credited their security system with assisting them thwart this latest burglary attempt. It is not known if Cerf and Solis were linked to the previous break-ins, but their names sound like a rock duo.

The burglars were arrested and charged with second-degree burglary and booked into the Clackamas County Jail.

"You don't get a free pass at Clackamas" is their motto.

Vandals take Hillary Clinton's advice: smash windows, spray paint NYC GOP office

NYC -- On Thursday night, the New York City office for the state's Republican Party was vandalized by a group of cowardly vandals who have taken the suggestions of Hillary Clinton, Eric Holder and Maxine Waters to heart. The also left a message threatening violence against the GOP.

The Metropolitan Republican Club's windows were smashed, the lock were broken and the doors were spray painted with anarchy symbols.

The cowards left a note behind saying the attack was putting the Republican Party "on notice."

The note read: "Our attack is merely a beginning. We are not passive, we are not civil, and we will not apologize."

Those words appear to be inspired by an uninspiring bag of wind, Hillary Clinton. On Tuesday, Clinton said that Democrats can't be "civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for," nor while Trump, not she, is president.

Antifa fascists in Portland, Oregon also acted violently in the streets as police watched them from a safe distance. The protesters shouted profanities at drivers and attacked the vehicle of a 74-year-old man who simply needed to pick up his wife downtown. They smashed his windows for no other reason than they were in "group fascist mode." The Portland protest was in response to the fatal police shooting of Patrick K. Kimmons.

The former first lady, former NY State Senator, former Secretary of State, former presidential candidate and current worst lady, said that the time to be civil is when Democrats take back the House, Senate or both.

Holder said "When they go low, kick them."

Waters said too many stupid things to list, but basically wants the Democrats to harass Republican politicians wherever and whenever they can--at the supermarket, gasoline stations, public toilets. Whatever.

The Metropolitan Republican Club tweeted about the incident:

"Last night the Metropolitan Republican Club was vandalized by the leftist hate group Antifa, who also left a note promising "this is just the beginning" and threatening more violence."

"But rest assured that we will not be intimidated by violence, threats, or hate speech. We will continue to fight for freedom of speech and liberty here in New York City and all across this great nation. #NYC #nycvotes #Election2018 #gop #Republican #RepublicanParty"

The fascists' note also mentioned that the club invited a "hipster fascist clown" to speak there, supposedly referring to Vice Media co-founder Gavin McInnes, who is neither a hipster nor a fascist, but he likes to clown around on YouTube--I'll give them that.

It's Orwellian blackwhite thinking that Antifa oppose fascism.

This hopefully will sink the Democratic Party as they drift lefter and lefter.

Dick's and Walmart face ageism lawsuits over gun-selling policy

Dick's Sporting Goods and Walmart are facing lawsuits filed by an Oregon man who hasn't yet turned 21, the age that these companies now require a rifle buyer to be to make the purchase. This is in spite of federal law that has the minimum age of purchasing a rifle to be 18.

Tyler Watson, 20, filed suits against both retailers after they refused to sell him a rifle.

The Associated Press reports:

Tyler Watson's lawsuits filed against the retailers in two separate counties claim he faced age discrimination from Dick's and Walmart, The Oregonian/OregonLive reported The policies enacted on Feb. 28

The lawsuit claims a store owned by Dick's Sporting Goods in Medford, Oregon, refused to sell Watson .22-caliber Ruger rifle on Feb. 24. The suit says Grants Pass Walmart in Oregon refused to sell him a gun on March 3.

Watson's attorney, Max Whittington, made it clear that his client was not looking for notoriety by filing a lawsuit, saying he "was really just trying to buy a rifle."

Watson is asking for judges to force Dick's Sporting Goods and Walmart "to stop unlawfully discriminating against 18, 19, and 20-year-old customers at all Oregon locations."

Dick's didn't respond to requests for comment but Walmart intends to fight the suit.

"We stand behind our decision and plan to defend it," the Walmart virtue-signaler said. "While we haven't seen the complaint, we will respond as appropriate with the court."

I think if Christians can be forced to bake a cake for a gay wedding, selling a rifle to an 18-year-old is a no brainer. In the first case, a person's religious beliefs are being abused by the buyer; in the second case, the buyer's rights are being abused

Businesses leaving progressive, dangerous Portland

Portland, Oregon -- Columbia Sportswear is considering closing its downtown office in the Democratic-led town after multiple encounters of the homeless person kind have threatened their employees and caused other problems.

There have been car break-ins, human feces deposited by the doorsteps of the business, direct threats to employees and garbage strewn about.

The Oregonian had an op-ed piece this month in which Tim Boyle, Columbia Sportswear President and CEO, voiced his concerns over these conditions and questioned whether he made a mistake opening a headquarters for the company's Sorel footwear brand downtown. He called the situation "outrageous and unacceptable."

"In fact, I am so concerned about the safety of our employees at the Sorel headquarters that we are taking the next 90 days to re-evaluate our location decision," Boyle wrote.


After moving 50 employees downtown, they immediately reported being threatened and harassed by homeless people near the new location. 

Boyle wrote, "A few days ago, one of our employees had to run into traffic when a stranger outside our office followed her and threatened to kill her. On other occasions our employees have arrived at work only to be menaced by individuals camping in the doorway."

There have also been so many employee car break-ins, the company began to refer to parking downtown as its "laptop donor program."

What a yuk!

"Given these experiences, it is a relief when the only thing we are dealing with is the garbage and human waste by our front door. Think about that for a minute," Boyle wrote.

Other businesses, such as Judith Arnell Jewelers, has decided to close up shop after concerns of panhandling and safety of Arnell's employees and clients became too much.

"It's very difficult to do business here right now. Our customers are afraid to come in," Ms. Arnell said. She had been in business there for over 20 years, but the large decrease in sales due to the homeless population has sent her packing.

Anne Bocci, a boutique owner in the Pearl District was threatened by a man when she confronted him as he stole clothing from an outside rack.

"Everybody saw it and everybody called the police," she told Fox12. But she said the man came back later and threatened her life once more.

Boyle met with Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler, a progressive Democrat, with whom Boyle is a "big fan." 

A representative of Wheeler's office said the mayor is "dedicated to improving public safety," as attested to by the huge rise in homelessness and lack of public safety.

I suspect he condemns the current problem in the strongest possible terms.

"As we prepare for the holiday shopping season, the Mayor is dedicated to improving public safety in the downtown business district," the statement read. "People from around the region and beyond come Downtown for a great retail, culinary and cultural experience [if they can get past the odor emanating from the human excrement dumped liberally in doorways]. We are working with our partners in the business community to provide visitors a great experience this holiday season."

So consumers, don't shop online or cook at home . . .  come on down! It's worth the risk.

And don't forget--vote Democrat and never show 'em you're scared.

May Day: over 40 leftists arrested nationwide

May Day. A public holiday that began as an ancient spring festival in the northern hemisphere. A holiday in many cultures where people dance and sing and let themselves eat cake. Children dance around the maypole. Happiness abounds.

Then the leftists screwed it up.

In the latter part of the 1800s, May Day was the date chosen for International Workers' Day by the Communists and Socialists of the Second International to honor the Haymarket affair in Chicago.

On Monday, police in Portland, Oregon had to shut down a May Day protest when it morphed into a riot after leftists began throwing smoke bombs and other paraphernalia at police. Twenty-five arrests were made, including a 14-year-old who was charged with rioting.

The Portland anarchists were dressed like ISIS scumcrumpets with covered faces and bandanas. They began breaking windows at businesses, setting fires on streets in the downtown area and damaged police cars.

In Seattle, Wash., five anarchists were arrested--one for throwing a rock as pro- and anti-Trump demonstrators faced off.

In the land of unicorns and magic mushrooms, Oakland, California, four people created a semi-human chain to block a county building and were arrested. They were demanding that county law enforcement refuse to collaborate with federal immigration officials. 

Ironically, none of the protesters had even one illegal immigrant with a criminal record living nearby to their homes.

In Olympia, Washington, police ordered anarchists to disperse, calling them "members of a mob" as they threw bottles, fired pepper spray and shot marbles from slingshots at police. Nine officers were struck and nine protesters were arrested who had lost their marbles.

Across the country, most protests were peaceful with simple, mindless chants demanding free stuff from people who had the stuff to give them through their own hard work.

In a park in Los Angeles, thousands of people waved American flags waving signs that read: "love not hate" and not hitting Trump supporters with them this time. 

The White House did not respond to requests for a response to the day's demonstrations, possibly because Trump knew that anything he said would be used against him.

Oregon judge being investigated after helping illegal immigrant to escape ICE

Oregon -- Judge Monica Herranz is being investigated for allegedly aiding an illegal immigrant escape from Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in January. The incident took place in her courthouse where she let the DWI suspect exit the building undetected from her own private entrance.

The incident occurred on January 27th, and if it can be shown that Herranz helped Diddier Pacheco, 22, escape from her Multnomah County courtroom where federal agents waited outside to deport him, she will be in serious trouble.

But it all depends on whether or not the case is brought before leftist lawmakers now that everything, including lawful decisions, have become politicized.

John Schlosser, the attorney for Pachenco, said he doesn't know how his client left the courtroom but acknowledged both he and Pachenco knew there were ICE agents inside the building who might have been there to arrest his client as they passed them as they made their way into the courtroom.

"I found my client, told him that I'd seen ICE agents outside, that I had no way to know if they were there for him or not, but it was possible," Schlosser said.

Herranz is under internal investigation and she is cooperating with the probe, which is expected to be completed within a week.

Pachenco's exit options were limited to three doors: one for the Sheriff's Department to bring inmates in and out of the building; another for the public; and the third for the judge and courtroom staff.

Billy J. Williams

It is a federal crime to "conceal, harbor or shield from detection" illegal immigrants. The U.S. Attorney in Portland elected not to prosecute after ICE officials told him they were against an investigation of the judge.

Instead, the Portland AG, Billy J. Williams, a Democrat, met with most of the county judges and told them that similar actions in the future would not be tolerated. Uh, okay.

Herranz is a board member of the Oregon Hispanic Bar Association and remains working in the Multnomah County courts, but there's a minute chance that she could face internal discipline once the so-called investigation is finished.

Wanna bet she gets a Richard Simmons-style slap on the wrist?

When judges use their political ideology to make decisions, because they believe theirs is the moral high ground, they are no longer law judges and should be removed from the bench. 

Herranz broke the law if she allowed Pachenco to escape the law.

Pachenco was subsequently caught by ICE agents outside the same courthouse two weeks later following another court hearing. He has been taken to an ICE detention facility in New Mexico where he awaits deportation.

School district bans Santa Claus et al

As a way to show respect to all religions, an Oregon school district has moved to ban all religions from receiving their respect. That is, all religious-themed decorations, Christian and Jewish, have been banned during the Christian and Jewish holidays.

This brilliant politically correct decision was revealed Tuesday and bans decorations with images such as that powerfully Biblical figure from the New Testament, Santa Claus. Oh, wait--that's not right--Santa isn't a religious figure anymore than a pine tree with lights is a religious monument.

The brilliant notice to staff regarding the ban read: 

"You may still decorate your door or office if you like, but we ask that you be respectful and sensitive to the diverse perspectives and beliefs of our community and refrain from using religious-themed decorations or images like Santa Claus."

Thankfully, the school district still allows one group of students to pray several times a day in rooms provided along with prayer mats. 

Ironically, it is rumored that it is the parents of these students who are grossly offended by religious objects--especially Jewish objects.

Clock Boy sues: money for nothing

Mohamed X2, (aka Mohamed Mohamed) father of Ahmed Mohamed, aka "Clock Boy," aka "Clockmahd" sued Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief Ben Shapiro, Fox News and Glenn Beck for defamation among other things. In fact, I need to be careful he doesn't sue me for my freedom of speech, but the little diaper dump needs to find me first.

Back on September 14, 2015, when the young Islamist was a mere 13-years-old, he brought a clock to school which he claimed he "built." That was a lie, but when you're Islamically inclined, you call it taqiyya and Allah will forgive you.

By the way, ever notice how it's generally okay to be satirical about Allah but never about Mohamed? They kill you for even drawing a playful cartoon of the pedophile.

Anyway, the clock looked a lot like an explosive device, kind of like it was planned to look and it scared school authorities enough to call him out of class and call the police.

It was found to be merely a clock, not a bomb. Clock Boy claimed he designed it himself, but it was later learned that he lied and got the clock from Radio Shack. He had no real skills other than lying. 

The police temporarily held the kid, worried that he had constructed a "hoax bomb," before releasing him. 

In spite of the lie, Clock Boy made a big stink with the help of his father Mohamed Mohamed (or Mohamed X2) and cried Islamophobia. Because it was about a Muslim person, it got Obama involved and he had the liar to the White House as his personal guest.

Now Mohamed X2 is suing multiple media companies and personalities for defamation and in order to make some easy money. 

Included in the suit as mentioned is Ben Shapiro. Ben appeared on Fox News' The Kelly File, where he said the entire incident was "a hoax, this was a setup and that President Obama fell for it because it confirms a couple of his pre-stated biases against police and against people who he perceives to be Islamophobic." He also added that Obama was "constantly shooting first and asking questions later" regarding the police, and that "the story didn't hold water from the beginning. Within the first forty-eight hours it was clear that this was a bit of a set-up and it was clear that the story didn't hold together."

Shapiro figured that Mohamed "literally took the guts out of an old clock, the wiring, and he put it inside of a pencil box and proceeded to bring that into the school and this is not the first family incident that has been like this. His sister had an incident in 2009 that was somewhat similar," he said, referring to a Breitbart News report that "the sister of the boy who brought a suspected hoax-bomb to his Texas high school said she was suspended from a school in a prior bomb scare.

The suit against Shapiro, Fox News and other commentators demands an apology. But the family also sued the city of Irving, Texas and the school district for about $15 million and apologies.

In a similar incident at the Sandy High, Oregon High School, a student named Levi Frunk was suspended and will miss playing in his homecoming football game, because he invented a homemade phone charger and used it in school. He was suspended for not being Muslim, but instead is Jewish. I'm not suggesting they suspended him because he is Jewish, but if he was Muslim, I have a suspicion the school would have let it slide.

Ironically, hate crimes against Jews is about 60% while it's about 11% for Muslims.

Ironically, Frunk didn't take a digital clock apart (like Ahmed admitted in an interview) he actually invented something. 

Unlike Ahmed with his checkered school record, Frunk had an exemplary record. He was at the top of his class, considered one of the brightest kids.

Frunk cooperated with school authorities and answered all their questions. Ahmed did not cooperate--he suddenly went mute.

But unlike Ahmed, Levi didn't get to meet with President Obama. 

What's wrong with this picture?

Socialist -1, Liar -1 in Kentucky-Oregon primaries

"Socialist Powah!"

Hillary Clinton spiked the football, danced in the end-zone, shouted to the world, "I won! I won!" but the play is up for review . . . well, unless Bernie Sanders asks for a recount, that is . . . which he won't because he doesn't know how to fight.

Hillary squeaked past Bernie in Kentucky with a majority of votes that was slightly more than the average number of people on the roof of a bus in New Delhi. She got 46.8%a to Bernie's 46.3% which is about 1,900 extra votes of the total 423,000 in the state.

But Bernie is like that rash that just won't go away and it's beginning to worry Hillary. She is going to win the nomination because yes, the fix is in, but she looks feeble as a candidate and is annoying as an itch when she yells her patented speeches to her loyal "feminist" followers.

"Oy say to the leadahship of the Democratic Party, open the daws, let the people in," Bernie said in his thick Brooklyn accent, hoping to change the rules to let him win the non-registered and illegal alien vote.

Sanders kicked Hillary's substantial butt in Oregon, which Hillary forgot to tweet about, although she remembered to tweet about her Kentucky "win." (It's still too close to call.)

"We just won Aregon, and we're going to win Califawnia," the Vermont socialist 74-year-old said to a crowd of Economics 101 dropouts. He vowed to "take our fight" to July's Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia.

The Sanders' win was his 21st in the election cycle and his 11th in the last 17 primary contests. It is rumored that Hillary is fuming and is considering hiring someone to "take care" of "the old fart."

The AP tally reports that both candidates received 27 of the 55 Democratic delegates and one delegate is to be given to the statewide winner. In Oregon, Sanders won at least 28 of the 61 Democratic delegates; Clinton won at least 24 and there are 9 delegates still outstanding.

The totals now stand with Clinton at 2,291; Sanders at 1,528. In order to clinch the nomination, Hillary must get a total of 2.383, and the way the nomination process is rigged, it's virtually a shoo-in for the Queen of Benghazi. 

Donald Trump is champing at the bit.
