From KOIN today, full link below:

“The January 6 attack
The storming of the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021, by a mob of supporters of then-President Donald Trump disrupted a joint session of Congress convened to certify the results of the presidential election of 2020, which Trump had lost to his Democratic opponent, Joe Biden, the Encyclopedia Brittanica states.
“Because its object was to prevent a legitimate president-elect from assuming office, the attack was widely regarded as an insurrection or attempted coup d’état. The FBI and other law-enforcement agencies also considered it an act of domestic terrorism. For having given a speech in which he rallied supporters to storm the Capitol in a violent attack that threatened the certification of Biden’s victory, Trump was impeached by the Democratic-led House of Representatives for ‘incitement of insurrection’ (he was subsequently acquitted by the Senate).”

www.koin.com/news/portland/trump-threatens-to-use-insurrection-act-what-is-it/

I absolutely reject Drumf’s current deployment of any National Guard to Portland.

I also absolutely reject “Encyclopedia Brittanica” cozy little explanation bout J6. In the view of many, including myself, the Biden admin did in fact steal the election. And there were fed instigators like Ray Epps all over the place. Many innocent folks were given draconian sentences by Dick Cheney’s daughter, in my view.

Anyway, I think Drumf a dangerous moron, might have some stuff planned to escalate the current situation in Portland, and I would encourage protesters to do something else for a couple weeks.

And, this is my last post barring future comments about my previous posts. It’s time to fish and hunt and I got to make some money.

I would encourage more folks to contribute to this site as we need to talk about a lot of stuff as a nation right now, and we need to come together in Oregon.

Antique bi-plane model. Make offer.

Submitted By: Artwithmisskaren@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
I bought this super cute bi-plane model about 2 years ago thinking I’d hang it from the ceiling at my new cottage. Ends up I just can’t get it done. I paid 150$ but I’m Open to offers. I’d just like to see it with someone that can have fun with it. Even a kiddo. It’s sturdy built, has rubber wheels that roll. A metal propeller that spins. And a little dude in the cockpit. I believe it’s from the 40’s – probably a kit. Definitely heavy duty.

HATRED

Submitted By: dixiedarrow@icloud.com – Click to email about this post
I had intended to write something about getting along with others but after reading a recent post on the BBQ, I think I will write about hatred.

The most iconic photo portraying hatred that I know of, is the picture that appeared in LIFE MAGAZINE, which is no longer in publication. This was a picture of southern white citizens spitting on little black children who were integrating (for the first time ever in the south) a white school back in the 60’s…….

The little 6,7 year old children were dressed in their very best little ruffly dresses, shiny black patent shoes, each holding the hand of a white policeman. The faces of the angry white adults being held back by a rope and other policemen were screwed up, screwed up!, with hate and they were spitting on the little children as they walked past. The image of their faces has stayed in my mind forever. I can’t find this picture on the Internet. Can you imagine spitting on little children?

Did you read the novel 1984 by George Orwell – in it was a daily ritual “Two Minutes of Hate”. During this time the citizens were to participate in a hate filled session watching pictures supplied by their government of their supposed enemies, OH! – we have that today on our news channels don’t we???
YES WE DO, on our TV! Real and AI. I!!!!!!!

Do we need to practice minutes of hate of our enemies supplied to us by the media? I am going to let you answer that question for yourselves. Here is another question? What is the effect of your hatred on your own body? You can look that up too !!

PDX ICE PROTESTORS: JUST GO HOME!



…or protest peacefully somewhere else for the next two weeks, but NOT at a fed location. Leave the ICE facility at Macadam, all fed facilities actually, VOID of anything for Drumf to do. He is using you. Go protest somewhere else for two weeks, come back to the ICE facility after that, if that location is important to you. The removal of folks living in America unlawfully will be going on for the next three years. Respectfully hold your anti-ICE signs on Sandy Blvd for two weeks? Write/post stuff instead, in support of your cause, for two weeks? Pay attention to Palestine for two weeks? SPEND TWO WEEKS MAKING SURE THE WORLD DOES NOT FORGET ABOUT JEFFERY EPSTEIN!!!!!!! DO SOMETHING!!!!!! just not at a fed location!!!!! (I cannot stress this enough!)


DRUMF MAY BE PLANNING TO JAIL MANY OF YOU FOR YEARS, AS BIDEN and CHENEY’S-SPAWN DID TO SO MANY INNOCENT PATRIOTS WHO WERE EXERCISING THEIR FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS ON JANUARY 6TH

BEWARE YOUNG ACTIVISTS!!!!!

DON’T TAKE THE BAIT!!!!!! OUTSMART DRUMF!!!!!

I believe in a closed border, and in my view deportations need to happen. That said, deportations are not happening in a functional, compassionate manner. And in my view, at the highest levels of corruption, ’migrants’ were let into our country illegally en masse by the Dem fascists, so the GOP fascists could employ the police state (on all of us) as they ‘get them out’.

Song break:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvMxqcgBhWQ

Other than closing the border, in my view, this administration Is running neck and neck with Biden’s for the title of The Worst In American History.

To the Oregon National Guard:

Thank you for your service! Glad you get to go home now and enjoy Oregon’s amazing October!

Camp Rilea is a neat spot, eh? What a cool base! Super beautiful! On a gorgeous stretch of the north coast nonetheless! And the weather was great while ya’ll were here! Not a raindrop in sight! Despite the ongoing geo-engineering! (Or, maybe…never mind…staying positive and moving on!)

Protestors exercising their First Amendment right that are opposed to ICE deportations, I say stay street side elsewhere with signs for two weeks, that’s my scrip yo’s. Don’t let Drumf use YOU to distract America from his Hitlerian buddy Bibi’s genocide in Palestine. That’s what this current ICE-facility theater is about, in my view. Or he and Vance may bomb Venezuela soon (for Israel, cuz when they attack Iran, we will need VZ oil for the duration of Israel’s Iran genocide-attempt, as the straight of hormuz will be shut.)

let me explain this protest idea further:

I absolutely 100% believe in a CLOSED BORDER with legal immigration. I LOVE living in America, the melting pot, with folks from all over the world living here. This is a COUNTRY, part of that means we have a BORDER, and folks need to come here LEGALLY, RESPECTFULLY. Change the legal immigration system if need be.

I completely disagree with all of you that tore down the George Washington statue on Sandy Blvd, at the German American Society. I lived nearby at the time, and I really, really wanted to roll down there with my Benelli, to be honest. I made the smart choice and stayed home. You’re welcome.

The tear-down of that statue was NOT a protest, it was idiot-insurrection. The lot of ya should have been thrown in jail.

That said, I am a staunch supporter of the U.S. Constitution, especially the First and Second Amendments, as they compliment one another. My two-week suggestion to VACATE protest at the ICE-facility location is an anti-Dumf anti-fascist strategy.

Don’t let Drumf and Fox News Pete, Secretary of Treason, stage this reality show in Pdx.

Think about it. If nobody is there, what are they gonna do?

IF YOU CAN’T OUTSMART DRUMF, YOU ARE TOTALLY USELESS

Fentanyl? Really?

Submitted By: yuiqwe1@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
The claim from Trump and his administration that they are concerned about fentanyl coming into our country from Venezuela is a transparent excuse for committing murder. It’s obvious they couldn’t care less about anyone dying from fentanyl or any other drugs or a lack of health care or autism or measles or polio or any reason for that matter. Ted Chu
