@KATUNews Portland City Council seems hellbent on creating division in the city. Campesinos means nothing to 90% of residents and seems be intentionally divisive.
39th Avenue is neutral and neither favors nor offends anyone, so apparently that will not do.
@fox12oregon Portland council apparently has no concern for the people of Portland. The street was named 39th Avenue and was absolutely neutral and not divisive.
October 31, 2001. Lee Greenwood beautifully sings "God Bless The U.S.A" before game 4 of the 2001 World Series at Yankee Stadium.
Sadly, after September 11th was perhaps the last time that this country was completely united.
God Bless America. 🇺🇸

Oregon has a REALLY big employer that I don’t think we talk about enough:
Oregon state government.
In 2019, Oregon state government employed about 40,900 people.
By 2025? 49,300.
That’s roughly 8,400 additional state-government jobs — a 20% increase in just six years.
And here’s what really caught my attention: while Oregon’s state-government workforce grew substantially over that period, Oregon’s private sector LOST 22,700 jobs in 2025 alone.
Why does this matter?
Because families and businesses are constantly being told that costs have gone up and government needs more revenue.
Well… costs have gone up for ALL of us.
When a business can’t afford its expenses, we don’t get to automatically charge our customers more. We cut expenses. We prioritize. We become more efficient. We reconsider hiring. We figure it out.
So before Oregon asks its families and businesses for another dollar, I think it’s completely reasonable to ask:
Has the state seriously looked at the size, cost and efficiency of its own government first?
I’m not talking about eliminating essential services or the people actually doing the work.
I’m talking about accountability.
Because “we need more money” shouldn’t always be the first answer.
@KOINNews The last five years that I lived in Sellwood, I had to lock my car doors every night because tweakers would walk the streets checking every car's doors to find unlocked ones to rob.
I‑5 in the Rose Quarter carries 120,000 vehicles and $115 million in freight every day. Now a full southbound shutdown will triple travel times and push congestion into Vancouver — all because Oregon delayed essential maintenance for decades.
This is exactly why Oregon needs a serious, long‑term plan to maintain and expand its transportation infrastructure. Congestion is a policy choice — and Oregon can choose better.

Do yourself a favor and watch a father whose daughter was permanently disabled by an illegal alien with a CDL completely roast Democrats to their faces.
🚨The Department of Justice Files Complaints Against Arizona, New Mexico, Oregon, and Washington Challenging State Laws that Provide In-State Tuition to Illegal Aliens
“Over 30 years ago, Congress made clear that States cannot put illegal aliens before our Nation’s own citizens,” said @ASGWoodward. “By granting illegal aliens in-state tuition, Washington, Oregon, New Mexico, and Arizona are pushing citizens to the side and ignoring federal law. No more. As of today, we have now sued 21 states who we allege were thwarting Congress’s clear prohibition on placing aliens over citizens. Our efforts will not cease until @POTUS Trump’s promise is fulfilled: illegal aliens will not receive benefits denied to American citizens.”
