Chicago mayor objects to reporter using the term ‘mob’ to describe dozens of looters: ‘That’s not appropriate.’ Until the voters in Chicago wake-the-f⭐⚡⭐-up and elect a mayor with some common sense, the lawlessness will never end. When they elected the current guy, they only continued the ineptness of the last mayor.

Neighbors in North Portland fear homeless RV owners have figured out the towing system. I’ve got news for you: It’s not JUST Portland that has this problem. It’s anywhere that has a bum infestation. The only way it’ll ever stop is for somebody to push back on the whiny Defund the Police Democrats and hire more cops to patrol and stop derelict RVs, trailers, and campers from taking up passenger vehicle parking areas along public streets and parking lots. While I’m at it, it wouldn’t hurt for the affected cities to pass ordinances to allow law enforcement to remove these mobile dwelling units from the parking lots of privately owned areas open for public business. Nothing is more upsetting than parking in a lot of a hardware store or a restaurant and navigating through a gauntlet of ramshackle RVs, duct-taped lawn chairs, and pallet furniture to get to the facility’s entrance. Assuming that they’ve parked there thanks to a bleeding heart (or oblivious) facility manager, the best way to end the blight is to take your business elsewhere, call or write the bum-lover, and tell ’em WHY you’re taking it elsewhere. I know the tactic works because I’ve used it before, and voilà, the trailer trash disappears.

Lane County Commissioners postpone decision on Accessory Dwelling Unit ordinance, will resume discussion August 29th. As usual, it would appear that none of the commissioners are discussing the elephant in the room. Talks concerning ADUs in the Eugene City Council chambers aren’t about moving bums out of tents and into an ADU in somebody’s backyard. They’re arguing whether their use as a vacation rental (think Airbnb) would detract from the main home’s status if it were listed as a historic structure. They’re NOT discussing the impact on suburban neighborhoods –  those that aren’t located within Eugene’s Urban Growth Bounty. In areas where, if bum cottages in the backyard are allowed to proliferate, property values will take a nosedive once they become a hangout for all their bum buddies. It’s bad enough that Hippieville has changed its regulations to allow the construction of apartment units in former single-family dwelling areas. On 29 August, Lane County will rubber stamp Eugene’s policies, and pretty soon, we won’t be able to sell our homes because some hippiefied bleeding heart’s turned their backyard into the local bum community center, and we all suffer from the crime it attracts, along with neighborhood property devaluation. All you need to do is reread my posts on this subject where it’s taken place in Portland. The only way to stop the madness is to move to a commonsense community or elect commonsense leaders who’ll use your tax dollars to set up and use Transition Centers.

Can former President Donald Trump get a fair trial in politically charged DC as indictment? Have you been livin’ under a rock? Of course he can’t! His indictments are all at the direction of Biden’s back-channel deals designed to keep him off the 2024 ticket. In that aspect, Jurassic Joe’s no better than the mobster Putin, who has his enemies thrown in the gulag or outright poisoned.

No amount of $$ is stopping teachers from leaving. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see why. We have WP Democrats promoting student demonstrations and walkouts that disrupt learning time, bending over backward to avoid disciplining groups that are causing disruptions, which only leads to MORE problems; Democratic politicians dictating mandatory teaching subjects like CRT, which deprives teachers of the ability to spend time on core curriculum. The bureaucrats running our woke educational institutions have painted themselves into a corner by forcing their progressive agenda on the people charged with the responsibility for filling the minds of our youth with the knowledge it takes to become productive members of society.

Body found stuck in floating US-Mexico border barrier installed by Texas, Mexico says. What’re they bitchin’ about? It’s not as bad as what they SHOULD be findin’ – bodies stacked up like cordwood, or, AT THE VERY LEAST Mexican airports overflowing with illegal aliens being returned to where they came from.
