Portland, Stand Up For Yourself, Please

I was born and raised in the Portland area.

It used to be beautiful, but the decay that began with “Keep Portland Weird” has turned into something ridiculous.

Portland is a joke to much of the nation.

Once recognized for its scenery, food, and location, it is now famous for riots, ignorance, wokeness, and a place that businesses do not want to be located.

The past governor was the least popular in the country.

The current is at number 48.

Their education numbers don’t add up.

They spend more per student than most places and rank at about number 48, depending on which study you look at.

The current governor and her Democrat legislature pushed a 4.3 billion dollar tax on the citizens of the state, and Oregonians got pissed.

She dragged her feet, signing the “emergency measure” in a show of “democracy” to try to stop citizens from voting on the plan.

In just two weeks, Oregonians came out of the woodwork to get twice the number of signatures needed to put the plan on the ballot.

And they are still collecting tens of thousands of signatures.

Now she’s picking a fight with the President, threatening to arrest federal agents who try to abide by immigration laws.

Tiny Tina needs a quick education in how things work.

This lawless governor professes the “No Kings” movement but seems to have no problem with her role as the self-proclaimed queen of Oregon.

I see Portland has slipped off the face of the planet again, this time by allowing a holiday tree celebration to turn into a radical pro-Islam celebration.

People are mad.

If they don’t want to call the tree a “Christmas Tree,” that’s not the end of the world.

I’m not sure a “tree” is really symbolic of the birth of Jesus Christ.

But do you have to take a celebration that means a lot to Christians and turn it away from Christ and towards Islam?

That’s not just unkind and arrogant, it’s stupid.

The good news in all of this is, as the nuts did with COVID and their left-wing ideology, they’re pushing too far.

People are full.

It’s like eating too much and then being force-fed more of their garbage.

The barfing is beginning.

The problem is, has Oregon reached bottom?

Unfortunately, I doubt it.

Next Fall, will voters see the error of their ways and stop voting for what sounds “weird” and discover common sense?
