Attention all hunters, target shooters, and home defenders. Tell everybody you know to vote against Oregon Measure 114 in November. Rather than try to restate the details in this woke progressive gun grab, I URGE you to read the linked article. See for yourself. If this thing passes, the donkey’s asses will effectively stop the sale of all gun sales in the state, because there will be insurmountable hoops to jump through. If you value the U.S. Constitution’s 2nd Amendment, then you better pay attention, because the language in this bill stomps it into the ground. If it passes, don’t look for any federal help, ‘cause Biden and his crew would like this sort of drastic action to take place in all the states. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO OVERSTATE MY OPPOSITION TO THIS MEASURE.

The queen of ‘Defund the police’ movements, Ilhan Omar, is starting to see the fruits of her labor. Minneapolis crime is up by double digits in every category. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out why. It’s as simple as the old adage – the mice will play when the cat’s away. We commonsense onlookers all have the same question – if she’s up for election every two years, how is it she’s able to keep getting elected? She runs her mouth about taking money away from the police, and her constituents are getting carjacked on the way home from voting for her. That makes about as much sense as one person bailing water out of a sinking boat, while another is cutting holes in the bottom of it.

After all we know about the Chinese virus, most organizations recognize the science behind mask futility – but not the Democratic stronghold of Philadelphia. They’re making K-12 mask up for the first 10 days of the school year, and pre-K have to wear masks ALL year. And people wonder why there’s a virtual war going on between Democrats and Republicans. The battle is between the same factions that fought the Civil War. The only difference is that now they’re called right and left instead of north and south.

Only an arrogant asshole of a Democrat would brag to the American public about how his party’s responsible for causing and increasing the worst inflation this country’s seen in over 40 years. Hey Biden! You want to brag about something? Bring back the $2.39 a gallon gas, energy independence, and 1.4% inflation we had the day you took office. If you can do all that, maybe more of us would listen to what you have to say. But none of us are holding our breath until you do it.

Rep Jackson’s right. The mayor of NYC is bitchin’ about hundreds of illegal aliens being bused to his city – Texas is getting 6,000 A DAY! Suck it up, you arrogant asshole. It looks like New Yorkers got rid of one mayor who was a do-nothing Democrat and elected another. He got elected because he was an ex-cop, who was going to pull a Guiliani and clean things up. NYC crime is STILL up 31%. Until the voters of NYC pull their head outta their ass and elect somebody with some common sense, that has the gumption to buck the state’s woke progressive governor, things there will never change.

Let me help you unpack this one. In this case, the town where it happened doesn’t matter. Seven months ago, the company that handles Bend’s St. Charles Health System suffered a ransomware attack, freezing all their timecard data. They reverted to manual systems to keep paying healthcare workers while their records were locked up. Now that they’re back online, and’ve reconstructed actual time-worked data, they’re asking for the 2,358 affected healthcare workers to pay back their share of the $2 million that was overpaid due to the attack. As you can imagine, the employees involved are up in arms. But here’s the deal. Those workers knew there was a breach, and that there was a potential for overpayment during the time the real timecards were unavailable. Instead of treating the event like an early Christmas present, what they SHOULD’VE done was kept track of their regular hours and overtime hours, compare those numbers with their paycheck, and hold back a little each month to defray the eventual costs of a repayment. Any of them that didn’t, were no different than a troop I had to give a counseling statement to back in my Army days. He has bouncing checks all over the Kaserne, and during the session when asked for an explanation, he told me, and he was serious, that HE had his checkbook, and therefore the bank didn’t know how much money he had in his account. The moral of the story is this. There are a LOT of people out there who treat any overtime pay as if it were their regular wages, and instead of setting it aside for emergencies, or special purchases, they begin to count on its recurring presence as if it was part of their base pay. Of course, when the overtime stops, or is interrupted, they melt down as if the employer is robbing them at gunpoint. It’s like a game of musical chairs. You need to have a plan for when the music stops. If you don’t, you’ll be sitting on the floor, or in this illustration, staring at an empty wallet.

Whoa! Hold the press! Do you mean to tell me that the Democrats lied to get the $433 billion Inflation Reduction Act shoved through Congress with a party-line vote? The Treasury Secretary cautioned the IRS not to spend any of the cash coming its way to expand audits on people earning less than $400,00, but I wouldn’t hold my breath if I were you. Currently, the U.S. has an 8.52% inflation rate, and an analysis shows that this bill will only reduce inflation by 0.1% over five years. Considering inflation was only 1.4% when Biden and his Democrats took over, if you do the math, Lyin’ Biden has presided over a 508% inflation rate increase, in barely over a year and a half. I hate to break it to the lyin’ dumbass Democrats, but from a practical standpoint, an inflation reduction of 0.1% doesn’t even qualify as a drop in the proverbial bucket. I guess there’s a slim chance that there’ll be enough moderate Dems in the House to vote against it and kill the bill, but I wouldn’t want to take those odds to Vegas. If I went all in with those odds, I might be walking home, and it’s a long way back to Oregon if you’re on foot.

One would think that in the middle of the worst labor shortage in recent memory, Oregon wouldn’t screw with private businesses desperate to find workers. WRONG! From all appearances, the dumb-ass Democrats in Salem can’t seem to leave well enough alone, and effective 1 October, if a firm offers a hiring bonus to attract new workers, they have to make the same offer to all existing employees as well. Common sense says THAT’S not going to happen. Events like this make me think the movie “Dumb and Dumber” drew the inspiration for its title from a building in Salem full of Democrats.
