Fox News host Pete, Secretary of Treason, just met with 800 military leaders. I think we all know why.
As someone who was in the Portland streets daily protesting after Dubya and Dick invaded Iraq on behalf of Bibi’s Greater Israel project, which came after those same criminals flew airplanes into and then blew-up WTC bldgs #1 and #2, and then blew-up WTC #7, my view is that actual Portlanders will indeed get very aggressive protesting those wars. I will likely join them, even though the lot of ‘em totally dropped the ball on ‘covid’ and George Floyd, who died of an overdose and was NOT killed by Chauvin.
So maybe Drumf and the CIA/FBI are getting ahead of all that with this deployment.
Still, in that event, be aware of Soros-funded non-Portland residents being shipped in to cause major violence AND those treasonous J6 feds like Ray Epps.
Anyway, jut thinking and sharing.
Here is a link about Drumf and Pete’s treasonous war they are starting with Venezuela:

Join us to make your voice heard, connect with fellow community members, and help shape our community’s future. Bring your signs, a chair, and a positive attitude; stay as long as you like. After a few days of much-needed rain, we’re hopeful for sunny weather next Saturday.
Together, we are working to restore law and order to our National Government by advocating for transparent policies and supporting local initiatives that protect democratic values. By gathering, we not only defend our own freedom of speech but also stand up for the rights of those around us.
Our commitment to our local food bank remains strong. Please put that food in your car right now so you don’t forget it. Non-perishable foods, check, and cash are always welcome, and they go right to our North County Food Bank. Congratulations to those who made it possible for the food bank to take up space next door to their current location while their building is being built. And a big thank you to all the donors in our community who keep the food bank going.
We will have more information about the “No Kings” protest coming up in October. Again, we need 8-10 people to help us set up and with the safety and security issues.
Best,
Patty

Portland does not need them now.
As such, Drumf is making Kotek look really, really good.
And that sucks.
In my view, she is handling this moment, which is actually just a CIA/Drumf marketing ploy (Epstein who?? GAZA City what??) very maturely and professionally, characteristics I feel compelled to point out, as American politics is awash with Drumfs and AOCs.
Not being a fan of Kotek, I’m wondering why Drumf’s team (CIA) has chosen to make her look good. VP for Gruesome Newsome maybe?
If Fox News commentator Pete, now Secretary of TREASONOUS WAR (look up the legal definition of treason), is planning to fight a WAR IN PORTLAND, he better bring a lot of Soros-funded agitators and treasonous J6 alum FBI traitors to have his ‘war’ with, cuz ain’t nothing happening at the Macadam Ave, small, detention facility.
Kotek, PPB and local ICE absolutely got the facility protests under control over the summer. There may be more arrests, but absence Soros/fed agitators, local ICE and PPB have it totally handled.
I drove the though the 50-foot WAR ZONE in my taxi. THERE WERE PROTESTORS!!!!!! THERE WAS ICE!!!!!!! THERE WAS PPB!!!!!! and it was all cool.
There was a military helicopter circling the small facility at about 1,500 feet, and that was not necessary at all, but it was provocative. Thanks Drumf and your new FOX NEWS commentator secretary of WAR, you are helping Oregon oh so much!!!!
EPSTEIN WHO???????
GAZA CITY WHAT????????
Pretty sure no arrests last night?
Glad I wasn’t in Gaza tho…
So if something flares up, look to Soros and the CIA.
That’s my take.

Reading from Close to Home: The Wonders of Nature Just Outside Your Door
Join us for a reading with conservation biologist and author, Thor Hanson, as he shares excerpts from his newest nonfiction book.
With the “the perfect mix of science and story” (Sy Montgomery), Thor opens the door to the nature that thrives in our yards, gardens, and parks as he inspires and shows how to retrain our eyes to reveal natural worlds of wonder.

Oregon Governor Tina Kotek responded, “There is no national security threat in Portland. Our communities are safe and calm. I ask Oregonians to stay calm and enjoy a beautiful fall day.”
We let the facts speak for themselves …
Multiple law enforcement personnel have been injured during the recent Portland ICE riots.
• Nearby residents have been assaulted
• 3 independent journalists have been assaulted.
• The nearby school has closed due to the riots.
• Police are unable to enforce open law breaking that is going on nightly.
• Residents nearby cannot open their windows because of both the tear gas used as riot control and also the large volume of smoke bombs used by protesters.
• Local shops are losing business as the riots damage windows and chase away customers.
• Anti-ICE Protesters shut down Portland Mayor’s recent public speech and forced him to leave the area. Free speech is being attacked in public.
• Law enforcement officials have had their names, addresses and family photos of family members posted online.
• Rioters zip-tied the ICE office doors and then tried to set fires upon the building.

Meet at 11:30AM at the South Neahkahnie Trailhead* for a walk down LNCT’s Headwater’s trail to our stewardship benches. Paper bag your lunch and enjoy a midday break outside with friends. The walk is ~2.5 miles round trip, with a gentle incline.
Note—the Headwaters trail is uneven and mildly steep in some areas. To access the Headwaters Trail, we will meet at the Neahkahnie Mountain South Trailhead parking lot and walk down from there. Plan to wear shoes with a decent tread and dress for the weather.
*To reach the South Neahkahnie Trailhead, drive north on highway 101 from Manzanita about 2 miles. Between mileposts 41 and 41, turn right on road 38555. Keep to the right up the dirt road until you reach a small parking lot and signage, about 1/2 mile.
