@lanedeankendall I remember going to them as a kid and looking forward to it. Now I avoid them like the plague no matter what the neighborhood looks like!
The fall of Portland, Oregon
Here are major retailers that left Portland over declining conditions due to Democrat policies from 2022–2026
- Nike Community Factory Store (Operated since 1984, 40 years)
Closed permanently because of 276 shoplifting reports in one year. They cited deteriorating public safety. Nike sent a letter to the mayor citing conditions
- Walmart (Both Portland Locations) 580 employees laid off
- Target (Three Stores) Reason: Explicitly cited organized retail crime and shoplifting
- REI Reason: Highest break-in rate in two decades; over $800,000 spent on extra security in 2022 (including multiple incidents, one with a vehicle through the doors on Black Friday)
- U.S. Bank (U.S. Bancorp Tower)
Announced it would not renew its long-term lease Building Sale: Sold in July 2025 for $45 million (down from $372 million in 2015 — ~88% value decline).
- Wells Fargo Announced plans to exit Portland
- Starbucks Closed at least 5–6 Portland locations in September 2025 alone.
- Nordstrom Rack (Downtown)
- CVS Pharmacy (SW Broadway)
Reason: Employee cited shoplifting as a factor
Malls Major Retail Centers also closed
Pioneer Place Mall: Once had roughly 100 stores. It’s now down to 20. Described as a “dead mall.”
• Lloyd Center Mall: Confirmed for full demolition. Now 90% vacant
PacWest Center: Sold October 2025 for $55.7 million (down from $170 million in 2016. That’s a 67% drop)
- Montgomery Park: Sold August 2024 for $33 million (down from $255 million in 2019, that’s a 87% drop)
Teachers union president Randi Weingarten @rweingarten has repeatedly called President @realDonaldTrump an “existential threat to democracy.”
The union is nothing more than a partisan advocacy group stoking political division rather than focusing on education.
DEFUND TEACHERS UNIONS!
I was thinking about the importance of family a few days ago, advocating that people have kids.
It reminded me of the last time I was at AmFest when my wife was pregnant.
I was talking with Charlie about the new family and it just seemed so routine.
We were all happy of course but we took that moment for granted
They killed Charlie
Since then its been chaotic and everyone has been fighting.
They tried to kill Trump again today.
Why won't they stop?
Why can't they just leave us alone?
Evil walks among us and it takes the vigilance of the strong to preserve our nation and way of life.
We must redouble our efforts.
We can not and will not allow evil to triumph
You can hear Erika Kirk say “I just want to go home”
PRAY FOR HER!!! PRAY FOR HER CHILDREN!!
How much horror should one woman have to be exposed to?!
Absolutely horrific!
‼️The Democratic Downfall of Portland and Oregon…
-Second worst place in America to invest
-6.5 million square feet of commercial vacancy
-The top 20 office towers have lost 57% of their combined value in 5 years
-6,700 jobs lost… 25,000 in population loss
-Ranked 80 out of 81 in real estate attractiveness
-Over 2000+ overdose deaths in the past few years
-Homelessness grew from 4,500+ in 2020 to 11,400+ in 2024
-The overall crime rate is higher or nearly double on specific crimes than the national average
-Portland’s combined tax rate for top earners is the second highest in the nation at 13.9%
-Oregon’s current fifth graders posted bottom-of-the-barrel math scores that were measurably worse than those in 45 other states
-CNBC reports Oregon is one of the worst states for business
-Oregon is listed as the fourth-worst place to move to
-Office buildings are 30% empty… The iconic U.S. Bancorp Tower just sold for $45 million—80% less than it sold for in 2015
-Major employers like Wells Fargo, Standard Insurance, and Unitus Community Credit Union have fled downtown or left entirely
-Portland City Council was proposing defunding the police in favor of park funding just last year
-The state’s economists say Oregon is in a growth recession or near-stagnation
👉🏻 Just a reminder that Oregon has a Democrat Supermajority and they have filed so many lawsuits against Trump that we have lost count, so any policies that have ruined this state or Portland should land squarely on them.
But yet they still blame Trump?! 🤔😵💫
Elon Musk just described the most sophisticated theft operation in American history.
Not a heist. A system.
Your tax dollars leave Washington.
They enter a non-governmental organization. The government. With different letterhead.
Musk: “Obviously if it’s a government-funded non-governmental organization, it’s just the government.”
They cross a border.
American law stops following them.
They pass through three more entities in three more countries.
They come home.
Different pocket. Clean hands. Perfect crime.
Musk: “The government can send money to an NGO that is then no longer governed by the laws of the United States.”
Now run the math.
Congressional salary. $200,000.
Average net worth of a longtime member of Congress. North of $20 million.
Musk: “There are a lot of strangely wealthy members of Congress. I just can’t connect the dots of how they got $20 million earning $200,000 a year. Nobody can explain that.”
Nobody is supposed to.
This machine ran untouched for decades for one reason. Human limitation.
A forensic team cannot trace ten thousand wire transfers across fifty global jurisdictions at once.
The corruption does not hide in darkness.
It hides in volume.
They built a labyrinth so deliberately complex that the sheer weight of it collapses every investigation before it starts.
Paper buries paper. Bureaucracy absorbs inquiry.
The entire architecture was engineered to exhaust you.
Then artificial intelligence arrived.
AI does not get tired.
It cannot be bought.
It does not lose the thread at wire transfer 4,000.
You give it the entire global ledger. It maps every node, every transfer, every shell entity, every offshore NGO across every jurisdiction. Not in weeks. In hours.
It finds the signal inside the noise.
It flags the pattern.
It traces a dollar from a D.C. appropriation to a Cayman shell to a congressional portfolio in the time it takes a human auditor to find his parking spot.
The labyrinth was built to defeat human eyes.
It is defenseless against a machine that reads the entire maze at once.
This is why the establishment is not just annoyed by DOGE.
They are terrified.
Musk: “We’re going to try to figure it out and stop it.”
He did not arrive in Washington to trim budgets.
He arrived with supercomputing, AI audit systems, and a mandate to map the full financial architecture of the federal government.
For the first time in history, the complexity that protected the corruption is the very thing that will expose it.
Every shell entity is a signature.
Every routing pattern is a fingerprint.
Every congressman who walked in earning $200,000 and walked out worth $20 million is now a variable in an equation that will be solved.
The swamp was never impenetrable.
It was just too big for human hands.
It was never built for this.
🚨 Joe Biden repeatedly called white supremacy the most dangerous, most lethal, greatest terrorist threat to America.
Turns out the SPLC was funding it and Biden shut down the investigation into the SPLC.
Everything was staged.
The whole narrative was a hoax.
“Multiple parents” should shut the fuck up.
Hockey is the last sport that hasn’t been completely destroyed by weenie-sissy nation. They’re trying…..but haven’t COMPLETELY destroyed it….yet.
