Governor Kate Brown’s proposed Oregon State budget looks like a progressive dream. She’s spending like a drunken sailor. Raising taxes and fees. She’s got a four million dollar line item for legal costs to fight with president Trump. Half of that money would go into an “Oregon Defense Fund” and pay for ongoing and forthcoming … Read more
Rising overdoses and homelessness in Oregon, where hard drugs have been legalized, may be a red flag to Vermont lawmakers considering repealing legal penalties for the personal use of opioids.
Liberal states and cities with education monopolies have failed kids for decades, but more recently, the problem of illiteracy has gotten more attention than they’d like. Kids can’t read.
If you have any technical experience, you’ll be familiar with the phrase feature or bug. When something does something you didn’t expect, you have to ask if it was supposed to (a feature) or not (bug). And yes, it’s a joke. Like Oregon, which decriminalized hard drugs claiming they wanted to help more people … … Read more
Michael Betrus writing at The Brownstone Institue, has a piece titled, “Grading the Governors: Who Locked Down and Who Opened.”
Democrat Governor Kate Brown recently signed Oregon’s Senate Bill 744, ending graduation proficiency requirements. Sad but true. The Beaver State will allow students to graduate from high school that can’t read, write, or do the math – in line with national “dumbing down” movements.
I know that Oregon is part of the Leftist Left Coast but this is just bonkers. One of the biggest costs to taxpayers is the “public school” system that has no end of “schoolies” that believe absolutely NOTHING is wrong with govt schools that your money can’t fix. This, however, is Stupidity on a Stick … Read more
We might be able to make a deal with Massachusetts. Sell them Vermont (cheap) if they will take Nashua. It’s just a suggestion. But along the same vein (sort of), five red counties in Oregon have had enough of Gov. Kate Brown and all that Oregon Democrat BS (Blue Sh!t).
If “Orange Man Bad” is true then maybe you should think about this. Currently, the Democrat Party and its candidate are hawking lockdowns. They attribute the need for their actions to “slowing the spread” of COVID.
After three months of encouraging riots and violence by left-wing proxies BLM and Antifa, Oregon Governor Kate Brown has a plan to bring peace to Portland. The only problem is that she didn’t make peace with local sheriffs and police chiefs first and they are saying no, thanks we’re not interested.
Police said a caravan of Trump supporters left downtown Portland around 8:30 p.m. Officers heard gunshots at about 8:46 p.m. CBS affiliate KOIN TV reports two men were seen yelling at each other. The altercation took place around that time. There are reports of hearing gunshots.
TMEW just announced this to me – she gets Joe Kelly LeVasseur FB posts. Well, it’s true. The Washington Examiner, Townhall, and Oregon Live are reporting that Whites are being singled out in this order starting tomorrow morning. Now, the latter makes no mention of racial discrimination for mandated masks – just that an order … Read more
Wildly-liberal Oregon Governor Kate Brown is miffed. A County judge has just declared every one of her pandemic orders null and void. Oregon is open for business, on appeal, of course.
That would be from the US Constitution, Article I, Sec 10 (paragraph 3) that he may be ignoring. No state shall enter into any treaty, alliance, or confederation; grant letters of marque and reprisal; coin money; emit bills of credit; make anything but gold and silver coin a tender in payment of debts; pass any … Read more
The Oregonian is reporting that this week Oregon Gov. Kate Brown signs a new law. The law requiring all eggs sold in the state must come from cage-free hens by 2024. That’s going to cost Oregon consumers. The Humane Society of the United States is egg-static. It’s turkey discrimination The egg heads at Human Society … Read more
The New Hampshire General Court (i.e. our legislature) has finished its work for this year (except for a veto override session in the Fall). I have crunched the numbers – i.e. the voting records of 2024 – to determine objectively which members are RINOs – Republicans In Name Only.
With the final day of the session past us, it is time to reminisce (cue misty dream sequence) about the past few months. We’ve been sharing – to the dismay of some – a weekly list of Republicans who missed roll call votes (and how many). Today, we have two lists. The Republicans voted in … Read more
As the session winds down, Reps can rest assured they will no longer have to suffer through these reports. Yes, it is another Republican House attendance report—our regular list of who missed roll call votes and how many.
The New Hampshire General Court (i.e., our legislature) has reached “crossover.” The House has acted on all its bills and has started to deal with Senate Bills. The Senate has done the converse.
