In 17 years, Oregon sees 91% spike in homelessness. US homelessness up 18% as affordable housing remains out of reach for many people. Reports consistently blame the lack of affordable housing as the reason more of the American population is living in a tent under a bridge. I, for one, have a different spin on it. Here’s the problem: If a person didn’t pay attention during their K-12 years (or stay in school period) and accumulate the required knowledge to eventually achieve an employable skill of some sort, it wouldn’t matter HOW much housing was available, the person living on handouts couldn’t afford it. As long as bleedin’ heart Democrats are handing out welfare payments like they’re candy, they’ll never afford a place to live outside of a government housing project of some sort. Currently, you’re probably hearing talk of limiting the number of H-1B1 work visas available to bright, foreign-born applicants that industry needs. How about providing incentives and changing the American mindset to encourage excellence in ANY educational endeavor or technical training? If we spent as much time celebrating mental prowess as we do jocks and prom queens, this country wouldn’t need to import as much brainpower from overseas.

100-plus US cities banned homeless camping this year after Grants Pass ruling. Really? When’s Hippieville gonna jump on the bandwagon?

ESPN is using the race card to pressure voters to give MVP to Lamar Jackson over Josh Allen. As my regular readers should know by now, I’m not a sports guy, but the core of the linked article isn’t about sports as much as it is about choosing skin color over meritocracy, and the reason all DEI programs need to die on the vine and go away. I mean, come on. It’s a common sense thing. Would you trust an unqualified mechanic to work on a safety-critical item like your vehicle’s brakes just because he or she possessed the politically correct skin color?

California’s Soros-backed progressive experiment collapses after a decade. Now all we’ve gotta do is get rid of all the DAs and prosecutors his money’s put in place.

Do you support mass deportation of migrants who have entered the country illegally? Well wadda ya know. Even in Hippieville 87% of over 23,000 people said yes.

Ramaswamy blames US ‘mediocrity’ culture for tech companies hiring foreign-born engineers. Couldn’t’ve said it better myself. This is EXACTLY what happens when a school system dominated by bleedin’ heart Democrats places more value on participation trophies than meritocracy. A ribbon for attendance hangin’ on a kid’s bedroom wall doesn’t build the next better mousetrap.

Rising waters near W. 11th Avenue prompt emergency response to save campers and their dogs. See – this’s what I’ve been talkin’ about. Every time somethin’ like this happens, cost of the rescuer’s wages needs to be added to the overall cost governments lay out for bum management. Incidents like the one in the linked article only strengthen the cost argument for Transition Centers.

Brooklyn homeless shelter worker stabbed to death by masked suspect. Here we go again. If NYC poured its money into Transition Centers, this’d be a non-story, but it hasn’t, so it isn’t.
