Justice Dept. brands NYC an ‘anarchist jurisdiction,’ targets federal funds
Justice Dept. brands NYC an ‘anarchist jurisdiction,’ targets federal funds. They also targeted Portland, Oregon, and Seattle, Washington. Well, in our opinion, if they don’t want the FEDs there then they shouldn’t want our money there.
“When state and local leaders impede their own law enforcement officers and agencies from doing their jobs, it endangers innocent citizens who deserve to be protected, including those who are trying to peacefully assemble and protest,” Barr said in a statement set to be released Monday.
“We cannot allow federal tax dollars to be wasted when the safety of the citizenry hangs in the balance,’’ the AG added.
Oregon Poll: Majority Say Protests Violent; Trump Tops Local Leaders in Approval
Oregon Poll: Majority Say Protests Violent; Trump Tops Local Leaders in Approval. This is what happens when Democrat leaders let riots, chaos, looting, and burning go on practically unabated.

Portland companies are fleeing downtown area because of Black Lives Matter riots
Portland companies are fleeing downtown area because of Black Lives Matter riots. 83 days of “no sale” on the cash register would make us leave, too. We hope Mayor Wheeler enjoys wondering where all the tax money went.
“Businesses are leaving,” Andrew Hoan, president and CEO of the Portland Business Alliance (PBA), told KATU.
“The financial consequences to the downtown corridor are a running calculation that is almost impossible to wrap your mind around,” he added, going on to say that one company already has said that the riots have cost $20 million in damage and lost business.
UN Issues Warning Over Law Enforcement Response To Riots
UN Issues Warning Over Law Enforcement Response To Riots. We’re supposed to listen to the UN? Look at the current members of the Human Rights Council and tell us if you GAF what they say? President Trump should defund them and evict them from the United States.
Now, someone else has had to open their pie-hole and express their opinion.
The United Nations human rights office has issued a stark warning to authorities in the US against using disproportional force against protesters and journalists involved in anti-systemic racism protests across the country.

Militiamen, ranchers in showdown for soul of Burns. Is Bundy II about to happen? In our opinion it seems the Federal Government is getting very high-handed these days. When we were young you generally didn’t see this type of animosity, the government was there to help you, not screw you over.

Eugene, Oregon city council: Let’s not have any of that subversive Pledge of Allegiance stuff in our town
Surely no one who’s ever attended the University of Oregon was surprised to see that the Eugene city council has come out against the Pledge of Allegiance.
A personal note from the Editor: I’m a Duck. I graduated from the University of Oregon’s School of Journalism back when devices known as “typewriters” were still state of the art.
When I arrived in Eugene a stinky haze hung over the city. Locals blamed it on the local pulp mills, but what I smelled was actually the stench of liberalism.
Surely no one who’s ever attended the University of Oregon was surprised to see that the Eugene city council has come out against the Pledge of Allegiance.
One fine member of the council compared it to the Communist Manifesto. Not to be outdone, another wacko announced that she couldn’t pledge allegiance to the United States because she’s a citizen of the world.
She didn’t specify which world, but we assume she meant the third world into which we are rapidly descending.

Eugene is a hate-free zone. And also an irony free zone.
Sarah Palin gave a speech in Eugene, Oregon a couple days ago and was greeted by the city’s official welcoming committee.
As you can see, the pink sign in the foreground indicates that Eugene is a hate free zone. The sign directly behind it proves that it’s an irony free zone.
Notice that the pink sign is in the shape of a hand. A hand, get it. It’s supposed to be like notes written on the palm of a hand. Hahahahahahaha. Oh, god, that sophisticated left wing wit just cracks us up.
The editor of IHateTheMedia.com is a graduate of the University of Oregon (yeah, that journalism degree is really paying off now). He assures us that Eugene was full of left wing lunatics when he lived there and that it’s even worse now.
Screw you, Gene. (See, that was a clever way of saying Screw Eugene. Those lefty protestors aren’t the only ones who understand how to use that sophisticated wit stuff).

Democrats get you going and coming: propose taxes on toilet paper and every mile you drive
A few weeks ago Blumenauer proposed a tax on toilet paper. Now he’s introduced a bill that to study vehicle miles traveled (VMT) as a supplement or possible replacement for the current per-gallon fuel tax.
You have to give Oregon Democrat Earl Blumenauer credit for being creative. He’s introducing tax concepts that no one else in Washington, DC has the guts or stupidity to propose.
A few weeks ago Blumenauer proposed a tax on toilet paper. Now he’s introduced a bill that to study vehicle miles traveled (VMT) as a supplement or possible replacement for the current per-gallon fuel tax.
Of course, the bill doesn’t specify what happens to the existing fuel tax if a VMT program were adopted. But we’re willing to go out on a limb here and guess that the VMT will somehow end up as an additional tax, not a replacement tax.
Not everyone is enamored with the idea. In fact, we’d guess that most people hate it. For example:
“The current system of levying federal taxes on trucks is as discriminatory as it can be to small business, and harmful, but there are lots of unanswered questions with a VMT. And those questions need to be resolved before we start launching down that path,” said Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association (OOIDA) Executive VP Todd Spencer said.

Oregon spends $176 million in stimulus funds to create jobs that only last one week
Oregon spent $176 million to supplement federal stimulus funds. Democrats are taking credit for a remarkable feat: creating 3,236 new jobs in the program’s first three months. But those jobs lasted on average only 35 hours, or about one work week.
It’s been widely reported that the Obama aministration says its going to create or save 3,000,000 jobs.
Now,thanks to the Associated Press, we know how it’s going to be done:
“Oregon spent $176 million to supplement federal stimulus funds. Democrats are taking credit for a remarkable feat: creating 3,236 new jobs in the program’s first three months. But those jobs lasted on average only 35 hours, or about one work week. After that, those workers were effectively back unemployed, according to an Associated Press analysis of state spending and hiring data. By the state’s accounting, a job is a job, whether it lasts three hours, three days, three months, or a lifetime. “Sometimes some work for an individual is better than no work,” said Oregon’s Senate president, Peter Courtney.
Apparently, Obama didn’t mean he was going to create or save 3,000,000 full-time jobs, just 3,000,000 one week jobs. Or 60,000 full-time jobs.
But based on Oregon’s experience, we can’t afford those jobs. The state spent $54,388 per job over that three month period. If the program were extended out over the course of a year, each job would cost the state an average of $217,472.

Parents in Oregon aren’t laughing at comedian Steve Martin
Steve Martin once played “The Jerk.” Now some Oregon parents think he’s being one in real life.
Here’s the situation: A high school production of Martin’s play, “Picasso at the Lapin Agile,” was canceled when parents objected to its adult content.
Martin said in a letter to a newspaper that he wants to keep the play, conducted in other high schools without controversy, “from acquiring a reputation it does not deserve.”
Martin said he could understand how some parents might object to their 16- or 17-year-olds delivering some lines, and he said whether the play should be presented at the high school itself “remains something to be determined by the community.”
Then, in what can only be described as stunning hypocrisy, the comedian said he would ante up the money to have the same play produced with the same actors off-campus.
When Martin said it was “something to be determined by the community,” no one knew the community he was referring to was Hollywood.
