Homeless camp fire closes Steel Bridge onramp indefinitely, reveals makeshift living spaces. Does this story remind you of anything? Allow me to illustrate. How many people know what a nutria is? In the early twentieth century, somebody had an idea to import them from South America to harvest their fur for women’s fashions, like the popular mink. Long story short, the fur trade fell out of favor thanks to folks like PETA, so those that didn’t escape were released. Like the habits of the proverbial rabbit, these invasive critters multiplied out of control. They’re a HUGE problem in Louisiana and other southeastern states touched by the Mississippi River, where their prolific numbers burrow into flood control levees, causing them to fail. It would appear that Portland has been invaded by two-legged nutria, capable of destroying bridge abutments (no doubt using stolen tools). To anybody whose daily commute was torn asunder by the closure of this bridge: If you’re one of the Democrats who voted for the idiot politicians refusing to get rid of the two-legged nutria and instead keep feeding them, I hope you’re happy with the inconvenience, ’cause you voted for it. If your commute is disrupted, and you’re the rare commonsense voter in Portland, you have my deepest sympathies.

DA stands by prosecutor in Alec Baldwin ‘Rust’ shooting case. Do you mean to tell me that there’s a DA and prosecutor out there that Soros and his money HAVEN’T elected? For God’s sake! Leave ’em alone and let ’em do their job!

Twitter laughs, groans as Jill Biden gives biological male Women of Courage award: ‘Up your game, ladies.’ Way to go, Jill. Honor a wannabe female on International Woman’s Day – in the White House, no less. What’re you gonna do next – award a medal to a wannabe female for winning a major woman’s sporting event?

Illegal Marijuana Task Force seize cannabis, cocaine & more from former licensed hemp grow. Any bets on whether or not Sergio’s in the US legally? If you think he is, I’ve still got a little of that oceanfront property in Arizona that I can sell you.

Florida doctor issues viral BBQ grill brush warning on TikTok after child’s visit to her emergency room. The question of the day isn’t about grill cleaning frequency or tools and techniques. It’s about where the grill-cleaning brush was made. The answer? Like all too many things found around the average American home these days, most likely China. You know – the knock-off capital of the world. Our patent laws and proprietary information are a joke to them. Based on personal experience, the way they operate is that no matter how cheap and shoddy the workmanship is, if it LOOKS like the real thing and is cheaper than an American-made product, it’ll sell. Another thing you can thank Biden for: The highest inflation in over 40 years that’s driven everybody to the Dollar Store.

Soft on crime or side with GOP? Biden in tough spot over DC bill. Are you KIDDIN’ me?!? His siding with the GOP on this bill would be the first thing he’s done RIGHT since the Democrats put ‘im in charge. The MS media needs to back off and quit criticizing the guy, or he’ll change his mind and rejoin the WP herd.
