What do you think Oregon?
Oregon’s IP28 is going to go down as one of the most controversial signature drives in state history.
They say it’s about stopping animal cruelty, but here’s what it actually does:
• Bans all hunting and fishing — licensed or not. Turns them into animal ab*se under the law (strips every legal protection)
• Makes trapping illegal
• Shuts down commercial dairy and meat production
• Reclassifies normal breeding practices for food animals as se*ual ass*ult crimes
• No exemptions for Oregon Tribes
We’re talking 330,000+ licensed hunters and their families, another 500,000 anglers, and 37,000 farms & ranches that would get wiped out — along with all those jobs.
This isn’t just about sportsmen.
It’s a massive overreach that hits rural Oregon hard, discriminates against Tribes, and will drive up food costs for every Oregonian.
Bottom line: Vote NO on IP28.
Hospitals are the worst places to get rest, but Yolanda had a pretty good, uneventful night. They took her off the morphine yesterday afternoon and are now using NORCO, and her pain IS controlled with one half the dosage. The pancreatitis is calming down. And her AST, ALT, and alkaline phosphatase are all trending DOWN. Her bilirubin has stabilized and should start decreasing soon. 🙏
Thank you for all of your prayers and support. ❤️
@JoforOregon Just keep a Bible next to the door.
If you think someone may be a muzzy, have them swear on that Bible that they are not. The wording of that swear is up to you.
A real muzzy won’t touch it.
Just a thought…
"The wicked plots against the righteous and gnashes his teeth at him, but the Lord laughs at the wicked, for He sees that his day is coming." Psalm 37:13
We worry about what the evil have planned, but The Lord is literally laughing at them, knowing how it ends!
Happy Sunday🙏
Don’t argue with people over sixty. Just don’t.
It’s not just an age; it’s a masterclass in survival.
They grew up without Google, without DoorDash, without therapy podcasts, and without an "undo" button. If something broke, they grabbed duct tape, WD-40, a hammer, and a look of sheer determination that made even the broken appliance second-guess itself.
As kids, they knew exactly what kind of mood their mom was in just by the sound of how hard she slammed the cast-iron skillet onto the stove.
They were the original latchkey kids — walking home from middle school with a house key tied around their neck, with strict orders to heat up lunch and not burn the kitchen down. By the time they were ten, they could bike to the corner store, buy a gallon of milk for the neighbor, feed the family dog, and still have time to play freeze tag in the yard until dark.
Their knees were a permanent canvas of scrapes, bruises, and rubbing alcohol. Their universal first-aid kit was just a quick wash under the garden hose and a Band-Aid. If a bone wasn't sticking out, you were fine.
They drank water straight from that same hose, ate Wonder Bread covered in butter and sugar, shared a single glass bottle of Coke among five friends, and somehow didn't die from a lack of sanitization.
This is the generation that knows how to rewind a cassette tape with a No. 2 pencil. They know the suspense of waiting all week for a movie to air on TV, because if you missed it, it was gone. They remember rotary phones, looking up a family in a massive paper phonebook, and the excitement of getting a color television.
They survived party lines, typewriter ribbons, early brick cell phones, and flip phones — and today, they might accidentally send you a 7-minute voice memo where the first 6 minutes are just them breathing and asking, "Hello? Can you hear me?"
And don't you dare laugh.
Because without a GPS, these people could drive halfway across the country using nothing but an old paper map, a cooler full of sandwiches, and the gut feeling that "the exit should be coming up somewhere around here."
They are the ultimate masters of household magic. They can stitch, tighten, glue, and fix just about anything. And somewhere in their pantry, they have a "bag of bags" that is literally older than half the gadgets you own.
Leave people over sixty alone. They saw the world before the internet, and they navigated the world after it. And through it all, they didn't just get by — they thrived.
Back when I was a kid, this is what I remember.
Summer didn’t just mean swimming holes, lightning bugs, and running barefoot till your feet got tougher than shoe leather. Summer meant the garden was coming in, and when the garden came in, everybody had work to do. Nobody asked if you felt like helping. Feelings were not invited to canning day, which was probably for the best since they’d just get in the way and sweat on the tomatoes.
The garden wasn’t there for decoration. It fed us. What we grew in the summer had to help carry us through the winter.
I remember baskets of green beans waiting to be snapped. Tomatoes sitting in piles, red and ripe, ready to be peeled and canned. Corn shucked on the porch with silks sticking to your arms. Cucumbers turned into pickles. Apples and peaches put up sweet. Every bit of it mattered.
And let me tell you, there weren’t many excuses that got you out of garden work or canning day. A headache didn’t do it. Being tired sure didn’t do it. A bad attitude mostly just got you handed another pan of beans.
But there was one thing folks believed back then. If a young girl was on her monthly time, she was usually kept away from the garden work and the canning. Old folks said she could make the food spoil, or keep the jars from sealing right. Now, whether that was truth, superstition, or just one of those old-timey beliefs passed down till nobody questioned it, I can’t say. Humans do love making rules and then handing them down like Moses brought them off the mountain. But I do remember it being taken serious.
The women didn’t always say much about it plain. They’d just know. A girl might be told to rest, stay out of the heat, or do something else away from the food. Back then, some things weren’t talked about out loud, but everybody understood what was meant.
The kitchen would get hotter than common sense. Big pots boiled on the stove, jars clinked together, and everybody moved around like they knew exactly what needed doing. Somebody was washing jars. Somebody was filling them. Somebody was wiping rims and tightening lids. And then came that sound every family listened for: the little **pop** of a jar sealing.
That pop meant winter food.
It meant green beans for supper when snow was on the ground. It meant tomatoes for soup, gravy, or poured over fried potatoes. It meant pickles beside beans and cornbread. It meant apple butter on biscuits on a cold morning.
By the end of summer, the shelves would be lined with jars, green, red, yellow, and brown, all shining like little promises. To some folks it may have looked like canned food. To us, it looked like security.
We didn’t call it “homesteading” or “preserving seasonal produce,” because apparently everything needs a fancy name now so folks can charge money for it. We just called it putting up food.
And that’s what I remember most.
A hot kitchen. Tired hands. A porch full of vegetables. Old beliefs nobody dared test. Family working together. Winter being made ready, one jar at a time.
And somewhere in all that work, without us even knowing it, we were making memories too.
The kind that stick with you longer than the jars on the shelf. The kind that come back when you smell tomatoes cooking or hear a jar lid pop. The kind that remind you where you came from, who loved you, and how much was done with plain hands and a willing heart.
Those were good memories.
And they’ve helped carry me through a lifetime.

PEOPLE, DO NOT ASSUME YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT PORTLAND AND OREGON!
Yes are S governor has let our entire state go to H!
It’s the democratic way!
We are working really hard to kick her out of office in November.
She is a Trump hater and she reminds us daily that she does.
She is not speaking for Oregon. She is speaking for her own twisted self, and about 2 other people, that I can’t even find!
She and the democrats have purposely attempted to ruin our state.
We perceiver on!
Give us a break! We deserve it. You won’t find another state anymore patriots than you can here.
We’re fighting for not only for our country, but for our state who is being run by a tyrannical lunatic.
Please don’t make assumptions, and try to be kinder.
@stacey4_b@CRRJA5@sxdoc Right? Probably don’t have to be a US citizen to sign the petition…… but that gets it on the ballot.
Then they cheat with the ballots too and boom.
@SCOTUS@POTUS
Need to get on top of this
ALARMING WARNING: Don’t Let Big Pharma Steal Your Mind! These 6 Everyday Medications Cause Dementia!
Most Doctors will NEVER admit that these drugs are quietly robbing millions of their memory, mood, and cognition.
1: Benadryl…is an ANTICHOLINERGIC CLASS drug. The active ingredient is Diphenhydramine HCL. Popular as a stand-alone allergy medication but is also a sleep aid in OTC sleep meds such as Advil PM & Tylenol PM. It crosses the blood brain barrier & blocks the neurotransmitter Acetylcholine, responsible for memory, learning & mood. There are 100s of Anticholinergic Medications.
2: Opiates…disrupt Serotonin, Dopamine & the Hippocampus region of the brain responsible for memory & mood. Opiates also cause brain inflammation. Combination drugs containing Codeine are used by 1000s for chronic pain like Tylenol 3, Norco & Percocet.
3: PPI Proton Pump Inhibitors…block stomach acid leading to severe deficiencies like B12, responsible for cognition. Reduces blood flow to the brain & causes amyloid plaques. 5+ years of use results in 40% increase in Rapid Onset Alzheimer’s. Examples include Prilosec, Nexium & Prevacid.
4: Benzodiazepines…shrink the Hippocampus & Amygdala regions of the brain, responsible for memory & mood. Common Benzos include Xanax, Valium & Klonopin.
5: Tricyclic Antidepressants…that are now prescribed for chronic pain. Another Anticholinergic set of drugs that block the crucial neurotransmitter Acetylcholine. Acetylcholine deficiency causes Alzheimer’s & Myasthenia Gravis. 1000s of people are taking Elavil & Nortriptyline as a chronic pain medication & have no idea they cause Alzheimer’s & Dementia.
6: Cholesterol Lowering Statins…block the body’s production of cholesterol, which makes up 25% of the brain and is essential for cell membranes, myelin sheaths, and neurotransmitter function. They also deplete CoQ10, starving brain cells of energy and triggering inflammation. Long-term use is linked to memory loss, confusion, brain shrinkage, and higher dementia risk. Millions take these daily thinking they’re “heart protection” while their minds slowly fade. Popular examples include Lipitor (atorvastatin), Crestor (rosuvastatin), and Zocor (simvastatin).
Big Pharma is robbing you of your mind—one prescription at a time.
Stop. Question. Research. Your brain depends on it.
Share this. Knowledge is the only defense.
You know what I’ve been thinking about? There are far more racist people in this country than I ever realized.
I have been blown away watching people celebrate the death of a White teenage boy simply because the person who killed him was Black.
This teenager was not on drugs. He was not a troublemaker.
He had never committed a crime.
He played sports, made good grades, respected his parents, and was loved by so many people.
Yet some people have found joy in his death because they care more about race than right and wrong.
That is not justice. That is racism, hatred, and pure evil.
A teenage boy lost his life. Anyone celebrating that should be ashamed.
CAIR: Counsel on American Islamic Relations.
10 things you should know.
1) CAIR was created by the Muslim Brotherhood, an Islamic supremacist organization that pioneered 20th century Islamic terrorism and sanctions violence against civilians.
2) CAIR only has about 5000 members, despite a membership of $10.
3) CAIR represents the opinions of only 12% of Muslim-Americans according to Gallup.
4) CAIR receives financial support from foreign powers who have provided direct support to Osama Bin Laden, al-Qaeda and Hamas.
5) CAIR has solicited money from sponsors of terror and received financial support from convicted terrorists.
6) CAIR founders have praised Hamas and other terrorists to Muslim audiences and said that suicide bombers are acting on behalf of Islam.
7) CAIR has raised funds for terrorists under the guise of helping 9/11 victims.
8) CAIR board members have called for the overthrow of the United States and the imposition of Islamic law. CAIR suggested applying Sharia punishment (i.e. the death penalty) to users who criticize Islam on the internet.
9) At least 15 high-level CAIR staff members have been under federal investigation for ties to Islamic terror.
10) CAIR has discouraged Muslim - Americans from cooperating with law enforcement and has spent more time and money advocating on behalf of convicted terrorists than their victims.
@CRRJA5@sxdoc I still wonder if the people that are signing those ballots actually know what they are signing…or are those people even legally able to?
Nothing sounds right about this. At all.
🚨 OREGON DEMOCRATS ARE COMING FOR YOUR HUNTING AND FISHING RIGHTS 🚨
This radical PEACE Act petition just hit 125K+ signatures. If it qualifies and passes, it’s game over for normal Oregonians. Here’s what they’re actually trying to do:
1. BAN killing animals for FOOD — Criminalize feeding your family with what humans have done for centuries.
2. OUTLAW HUNTING — Turn law-abiding hunters into criminals overnight.
3. END FISHING — No more casting a line without risking jail time.
4. SHUT DOWN ANIMAL RESEARCH — Science, medicine, and agriculture? Screwed.
5. DESTROY RURAL OREGON — While cities rot with homelessness and crime, they target the rural way of life.
These out-of-touch clowns want a vegan utopia where you can’t hunt, fish, farm livestock, or manage wildlife. All while their failed policies destroy the rest of the state.
This isn’t “animal welfare.” It’s a full assault on tradition, self-reliance, and common sense.
Rural Americans won’t forget this.
💥Let me hear from you if you’re pissed.
Oregon voters — kill this ballot measure.
23. The Ultimate Bypass (Make It a Dumb TV)
The Best Buy installer finished toggling the settings. He put the remote down on the counter. The TV was running three times faster than it was five minutes ago. But he leaned in with one final piece of brutal honesty.
"TV manufacturers actually sell the physical TV hardware at a massive loss. They only make their profit by selling all that tracking data we just turned off. Because of that business model, the internal processors are inherently cheap garbage."
"If you want zero lag forever? Do exactly this."
"First, factory reset your entire TV."
"Second, when you are setting it up again, DO NOT connect it to your Wi-Fi. Skip that step entirely."
"Third, buy a $30 Roku stick or a $130 Apple TV. Plug it into HDMI 1."
"Let the TV just be a beautiful, dumb screen. Let the dedicated streaming box do all the actual thinking. That setup will easily last you ten solid years without a single dropped frame."
1. ACR (Automatic Content Recognition)
What it does:
Your smart TV is essentially taking a digital screenshot of your display every two seconds. It takes those snapshots, creates a digital fingerprint, and cross-references it with a massive database to figure out exactly what you are watching. It then sends that data back to the manufacturer so they can build a highly lucrative advertising profile of your habits. This massive data collection operation runs constantly in the background.
Why it kills performance:
Taking screenshots, processing the image data, creating a hash file, logging the timestamps, and firing it all through your Wi-Fi requires a ton of background computing power. Your TV's tiny internal processor is basically working overtime just to spy on you, leaving almost no memory left for you to actually navigate the menus.
How to kill it:
Samsung: Settings → Support → Terms & Policies → Viewing Information Services → Off
LG: Settings → All Settings → General → Live Plus → Off
Vizio: System → Reset & Admin → Viewing Data → Off
Sony: Settings → Privacy → Usage & Diagnostics → Off
The installer looked up and said, "Flipping this single switch just freed up 20% of your processor's capacity."
