Portland city council is planning on going through with the largest cuts to public safety in the history of the city:

[🇺🇸 Edward T. Winslow @EdwardTWinz]

🚨 stop scrolling.. do you understand what this fake degree ring actually means to your life..

because most people only think about visa fraud as a paperwork problem..

those 100,000 seized certificates weren't for desk jobs.. they were for medicine.. nursing.. engineering.. IT.. fields where a fake credential doesn't just steal a job.. it puts someone in a hospital treating your family..

and here's the part nobody's connecting..

100,000 seized is 10% of the estimated total.. 900,000 fake degrees are still out there.. attached to real people.. working real jobs.. inside real companies and real hospitals that verified nothing..

a former US consular officer who processed 51,000 H-1B applications in Chennai said 80 to 90% of the applicants she saw used fraudulent documentation..

a 2008 USCIS audit found more than 13% of already-approved H-1Bs were fraudulent..

that was 18 years ago.. the program kept running..

Manav Bharti University sold 36,025 fake degrees while issuing only 5,455 real ones.. this has been running since at least 2010..

this isn't a printer in a back room.. it's a supply chain.. fake seals.. fake holograms.. fake transcripts.. 22 universities.. multiple states.. an estimated 1 million documents worldwide..

your doctor might have one of these degrees..

the system worked for the forgers.. just not for you.

I'll keep you updated. Turn on notifications. 🚨

🚨 Stephen Miller says the scale of welfare fraud is SO MASSIVE that eliminating it alone could balance the ENTIRE federal budget

"The amount that has been fleeced from us is in the HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS of dollars."

"We could balance the federal budget if the only dollars that went out of the treasury went to individuals who were properly, lawfully, correctly eligible to receive them."

This should infuriate EVERY taxpayer.

And Oregon still bottom of barrel for job growth nationally…

Breaking: A Seattle neighborhood declares WAR against pimps shooting up Aurora Avenue while engaging in turf wars over prostitutes.

Residents say they have been constantly dodging bullets since the city decriminalized prostitution in 2020, resulting in open-air sex trafficking and an increase in gun violence.

If the city refuses to address the yearslong issue, some residents want President Trump to intervene and order a federal crackdown.

[Ciatta Thompson @CiattaForHD33]

Oregon should be one of the best places in America to build a life.

Instead, we're increasingly told to accept less safety, less accountability, less opportunity, and lower expectations.

A state so rich in natural abundance should not be governed by a philosophy of decline.

Fucking INSANE!! @GovTinaKotek just signed HB 4088 shielding child mutilation so 15-year-olds in Oregon can get hormones, cross-sex drugs, and “transition” WITHOUT a single parent’s permission, while those same kids can’t drive, can’t vote, can’t buy booze or cigarettes. This evil bitch is protecting groomers and butchers, not kids. Oregon is sacrificing its children on the altar of woke insanity. Burn it down. #KotekIsEvil

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

These are all common sense!

[Christine Drazan @ChristineDrazan]

Tina Kotek’s administration made $2.5 billion in accounting errors last year.

That’s not a simple rounding mistake, that’s bureaucratic incompetence. And this isn’t just a one-off, it’s a pattern. In 2024, they made $1.8 billion in accounting errors.

Tina Kotek wants to keep raising taxes on us, but her own administration can’t even keep its own books without billions of dollars in errors.

It’s time to fire Tina Kotek.

🚨 JUST IN — IT’S OFFICIAL: US Senate unanimously BANS all senators from getting a single paycheck if the federal government is shutdown, filed by Sen. Kennedy

FINALLY! This should've already been the case 👏🏻

Don't give them a DIME if they defund TSA and other crucial agencies.

This is called FAIRNESS 🇺🇸

[Red Wave @RedWaveOR]

Tina Kotek will go down as the most hated governor in Oregon history.

Nothing will change my mind on that.

Her downfall might just be not opposing IP28 and that might be the undoing of leftist rule in Oregon.

She also supports mail in voting like the RINO establishment in Oregon.

Portland ranks near bottom of North American cities in new downtown perception survey:

•Source: 2026 City Pulse survey by Gensler (architecture/design firm) of 35,000+ residents across 75 global cities.

More bad press for Antifastan

.@SecScottBessent: "A nation that cannot manufacture, mine, ship, or refine its needs gradually cedes its strength and sovereignty to others. That is a dangerous dependency for any country; it is an unacceptable one for the United States of America."

[Christine Drazan @ChristineDrazan]

40% of Portlanders are considering moving. The solution from Tina Kotek’s allies: impose more tax and fee hikes to make the city even less affordable.

The average Portlander will see $1500 in new taxes and fees for utilities, water rates and trash collection. Even the art tax is going up.

This is what happens when our leaders put their own agendas before serving our communities.

It has to change, and it starts at the top.

🚨 IT'S OFFICIAL: Republicans were ROBBED of 18 House seats — and electoral votes — because ILLEGALS are counted in the Census, and red states got undercounted

Democrats unfairly have a +18 seats

We must BAN illegals from the Census and re-do it!

🚨 VIRAL MOMENT IN L.A. 🚨

Residents are absolutely TORCHING city leaders 😳🔥

“L.A. is a public toilet at this point” 🚽
“All the government has given me is TRAUMA” 😬
“I threw out 3 pairs of shoes from human feces” 👞💩
“Karen Bass has been LYING her butt off” 🤥
The reactions only get crazier… 👀

A small town in Oregon is celebrating after officially stopping a large data center from being built in their community.

The La Pine City Council voted unanimously to reject the proposed project.

The proposal called for a massive 20-megawatt data center, which raised concerns among residents about energy use, water consumption, noise, and whether the project would truly benefit the community.

BlackRock and Palantir frequently appeared in local community discussions, even though the data center was being built by Boxminer.
