Re:   Let’s hope this temporary blockage becomes permanent. After all, it’s based on common sense. Unless you think it’s fair that the federal government forces for-profit and non-profit activities to pay for transgender medical procedures, counseling, and medication regimen when it goes against their religious beliefs.

Re: Queen Brown has wielded her Septor of Silence. Just because they’re YOUR tax dollars, do you think she or her Salem Democrats will tell you how they’re spending your money until AFTER you vote? Even a hint of economic impropriety might result in politicians with a little common sense being elected, and she couldn’t have that.

Re:   Even the woke progressives’ fact check shows that the United States’ electrical grid can’t support Biden’s carbon-free America by 2035. I’ll be damned. You don’t say. These pages have not been alone in saying that since the feeble refugee from a dementia ward’s been trying to sell it. His grandiose greenie plans might play well to the earthfirster treehugger crowd, but it’s devoid of common sense while throwing an entire segment of this country’s GDP and economy under the bus. How’s that go – you get what you pay for? The Democrats paid for a confused, rambling textbook example of senility and are making the rest of us suffer for THEIR mistake.

Re: Of COURSE Oregon Democrats are silent about the pro-life firebombing. BLM, Antifa, and their pro-abortionist buddies are the Democrats’ favorite groups.

Re: Alright, you woke progressive assholes, this is the LAST STRAW! Three male junior high students are being brought up on sexual harassment charges (typically reserved for rape, incest, or inappropriate touching) for using the wrong pronoun to address a fellow student. Apparently, the action was taken at the behest of a female who started screaming profanity at the group because she wasn’t being addressed as “he.” Maybe she would’ve preferred “it.”

Re: This could only happen in a state Capitol drowning in Democrats. While the author was aware of the program, this article was the first seen highlighting the specifics of where the money will come from. The fund bankrolling Paid Leave Oregon is paid for by a 1%, 60/40 split between ALL employees (even if they’ll never use it), and employers. That means for every $1000 in pay, employees will have $6 taken out, while it’ll cost employers $4. It’s a state-level version of Lane County’s Transit Tax, where everybody has money taken out of their paycheck to make it easier for bums to ride the bus (or whatever LTD does with it), whether the EMPLOYEE rides the bus or not. Think about it. If you’re unmarried, you’re having money taken out of every check, even though you’ll never have a chance to use the annual 12 weeks off, because of birth or adoption of a child. How much longer is it going to be before anybody working in Oregon has money taken out of each check to pay into the “I don’t want to work, so give me free money” fund, AKA the deadbeat bank.

Re:   Here’s more proof that Biden used the Chinese virus emergency to shove through $2 trillion in spending immediately channeled into his greenie environmental agenda items. If you research it, you’ll find this isn’t an isolated instance, but only the latest in a string of revelations. For Christ’s sake – there were multiple blue states that used the COVID money to fund CRT curriculum in public schools. What’s that got to do with the pandemic? Apparently, about as much as electric school buses.
