Government spending bills could make lame-duck session one of most expensive ever. Folks, it’s time to buckle up. Here we are in the post-election glow of a GOP takeover in the House, and those of us that’ve followed politics for years know what’s coming – two months of spending bucketsful of your tax dollars on woke progressive want-list items. Like a herd of thirsty cattle that smell water, a stampede of Democrats is in a helluva hurry to spend your money while they still have control over the purse strings. Anybody experienced in the governmental budgeting process is familiar with the end-of-fiscal-year drill – spend whatever money you’ve got left, or you’ll lose that much from your allocation in the upcoming budget. For the Democrats in Congress, it’s the same mindset, only happening at a higher level.

Eugene residents speak out on proposal to prohibit natural gas in new homes. This quote from one of the speakers sums it up: “Mayor and councilors, you simply do not have the support of the majority of the people who live in Eugene and the surrounding areas to ban natural gas. You are representatives of this community. You are not dictators and you do not have the authority to make decisions, which negative[sic] impact the lives of your constituents.”

Suspect in Colorado gay club shooting is nonbinary, defense says. Pay attention, people. The woke progressive MS media and their liberal audience would have you believe that conservative straight people perpetrate any violence taken against the LBGTQ community. The person that just killed five people in the Centennial State was a rainbow flag-waver who used all the fashionable pronouns employed by that crowd. There ya go. Another left-wing MS media stereotype bites the dust.

FTX crypto investor says he lost $2M and demands Dems return donations: ‘A fraud from the beginning.’  Good luck with them giving back the money! You’d have better luck trying to take a banana from a gorilla. Sleaze, wrapped in hundred-dollar bills, is how they operate. They gather at $1000-a-plate affairs with other arrogant aristocrats, where lofty topics of conversation rarely sink to the level of commonsense people. The crook that got caught bought his way into their circles with campaign donations and might as well be wearing a tailored suit made out of Teflon. If he EVER sees the inside of a courtroom with Biden’s boy Garland running the DOJ, I’d be shocked.

Unclear if Oregon voter-approved gun control measure will hold up in court, expert says. It’s only unclear if you’re one of the died-in-the-wool, woke progressives trying to take the 2nd Amendment away from the rest of us. Once the seven liberal counties passed this rights-infringing measure, the rest of us were wringing our hands in anticipation of the court journey as it winds its way to Washington, D.C. Here’s a message for all the people that signed the petition to put it on the ballot, who voted for 114, and for the woke progressive Secretary of State, who’s going to put it into effect as soon as she can – see you in court.
