As a ties in ,one supposes that if the trannie was cutting up hack drivers for small change he was a bum, too.

That cabbie recently butchered in Portland was murdered by a transexual. Out of town newspaper stenographers remarked it. Locals won’t. Wore a tiara to work that night she did. The press tried to overlook the “Tans Day of Vengence” as well as a couple other trans mass murder plots and murders.

To think I woke up sickened after reading of the mass trampling of the Darien Gap as America’s open borders drained. S. America. Thank god we live in a sanctuary city. Few of those millions will speak English and even fewer will be suited for information age employment. So we'll have multicultural and intersectional bum towns. So, there is that.

Wow, THAT was synchronicity! Just last week I posed a question asking how a day center for the homeless got plopped down in the middle of an already struggling hotel, shopping and entertainment district - and presto, here’s all the ins-and-outs on 333 SW Park.

I know it wasn’t quite “presto” - all those connected dots surely took a lot of sleuthing, then assembly into a compelling narrative. Thank you Richard Cheverton for another great piece of investigative journalism. And what a strange, winding and troubling tale it is. Unfortunately it didn’t make me feel any better about the prospects for our once beautiful city.

“Janie has been convicted of more than 12 felonies. She spent five years in and out of county jails before serving two years in prison. It was there she was given a second chance.”

Prison gave her a second chance. It takes discipline to get off drugs.

But in Deborah Kafoury’s world anything that carries a hint of incarceration doesn’t fit her values. She could find millions to spend on a derelict building, but she couldn’t find the money to open the never-used Wapato Jail. She and other progressives on the county board shunned Wapato. (Former commissioner Loretta Smith pretended to care about Wapato but wouldn’t run against Kafoury on the issue.)

Wapato didn’t look like a jail. It had no cells. It had bunk rooms. It had been designed with a certain number of beds for alcohol and substance abusers. It had a dental office and a medical office.

Just how phony was Kafoury’s commitment to helping the homeless? When Jordan Schnitzer came to the rescue with a proposal to buy Wapato and turn it into a transition shelter for the homeless called Bybee Lakes Hope Center, Kafoury made no effort to help it succeed. Even worse, when it appeared the project wasn’t going to come together, the county gleefully issued a memo crowing, “(W)e welcome them to join us and support the Downtown Behavioral Health Resource Center.”

At one point, someone went in and stripped Wapato’s dental and medical offices and the kitchen of its equipment.

It must gall Kafoury that Bybee Lakes Hope Center now provides shelter to families with children -- away from the downtown drug camps.

I really admire Jordan Schnitzer for what he did. And I agree about Kafoury. She's only interested in ways she can benefit herself. She talks the talk and says what she knows people want to hear but she doesn't mean any of it. She's a phony who doesn't really care. And why should she? Will SHE ever have to deal with the severely mentally ill or addicted, or both? Probably never in her White Tower life of privilege.

You might pick this interview up at around 2:30 or 3:35.

Should anyone care I can provide many statements and policy documents from contemporary American thought leaders, influential academics, and politicos verifying my following observation. They are not shy about nor interested in concealing their loathing for America and the West.

I'm not a rightest nutter. I listen to our leaders when they speak and read them when they write.

It is absolutely vital that you NEVER lose sight of the fact that our civic leaders hate whatever has come from America, Christianity, and the family - most especially the nuclear family. Might throw in that they are insane with racism, too.

I don't believe that Jordan Schnitzer or Ted Wheeler "...hate whatever has come from America..." That assertion is unbalanced and radical, so I do not agree. I do not embrace radicalism in anything I believe in, do or will do in the future. Also, I do not believe that they are "insane with racism." That is absurd. What I do see as a red flag is when anyone tells me what I should believe simply because they believe it. Nope. I don't agree with what you're saying here. Not at all. By the way, I've already seen and read that link. Thanks anyway.

I earnestly hope and pray that you are right.

Perhaps Wheeler is of consequence to his mother. He doesn't matter. Mr. Schnitzer is certainly a better man and American than I shall ever be.

Perhaps "civic" was the wrong term, maybe I should have said the national uniparty. I stand by what I wrote

Kendi, Ta-Nehisi Coates, Robin Jeanne DiAngelo are race looters getting wealthy exploiting white self-loathing. None of these people or their ilk are fresh or inventive thinkers. Al Sharpton with keyboards. White people love this stuff.

A self-genocide is underway. How else do you explain Portland's ruin, the open border, the no-bail crime, the light sentences or simple parole or probation for serious crimes, and the removal of criminal statues (oops, statutes - in Portland criminal statues are another matter entirely), and so much that follows.

The introduction of quotas in the creative process (such as it is) in Hollywood. The supplanting of nearly all white people in advertising and other media. Not simply disregarding but actively suppressing and attacking the best that has been thought and written in the European American tradition, Western Culture.

Schools and universities make it far more difficult for white people and honorary white people (Asians) to gain access to higher education and nearly all associated opportunites. Many schools have eliminated honors classes, valedictorians, and fail to notify white students when they've been awarded scholarly recognition thus damaging or hindering further opportunities for them.

The schools inculcate white evil through CRT, the1619 Project, Courageous Conversations, and so much else.

Those educational approachs are so vapid, hateful, and anti-intellectual, as well as full of church militant ignorance there can be no other explanation for their use save for inculcating self-loathing into our younger and youngest white minds.

White self-loathing infests every sphere of every insitution that exists in this nation and upon which this nation is based.

I was watching a not bad Russel Crowe/Ben Affleck thriller and just in case you didn't get it the baddie had an American flag on his lapel and Christian messaging. I've been watching Hollywood and TV do this for 30 years.

Remember that black gal the other day who headed the DoD's educational bureacracy? She wrote:

“I’m so exhausted at these white folx in these [professional development] sessions this lady actually had the CAUdacity to say black people can be racist too.”

Clever, nudge, nudge - to use a portmanteau neologism. You should read and listen to the anti-white porn poured into the captive service men and women in military training schools and the service acadmies.

Look into "indigenous ways of knowing" everywhere it pokes its nose into science.

Oh, anyway maybe I am an hysteric who is misreading things. It really can't be an auto-genocidal impluse driven by white self-hate. Not possibly, No chance. Nope. I'll go reflect someplace.

Racism drips from this country like juice from an over ripe peach left long in the sun.

I caught this yesterday.

I immediately thought of the Newberg schools that vetoed BLM,CRT and trans sex ed. Ever felt bad because your 4th grader doesn't realize life could cheat her out of a clitoral orgasm? Or, boys, by simply rolling over..., chest binders in the cupboard anyone? Child Welfare could be after you should you and your little white swine complain.

Surely, my grotesque imagination is depraved, lewd, and racist. It couldn't possibly happen anywhere, much less here.

I just ache reading this.

Portland, Chicago, D.C., the Border - progressive hellzones that ensure the death of our nation or its metamorphoses into a pissoir of progressive piety. I used to read comics. That's where I learned of the Shirt of Nessus. American would rather writhe in slow fry than pitch ourselves into the fire and so end it. This is a choice. It is all what we have freely chosen.

Recently, I've been reading about the American efforts in the great mid-century war. Especially the Saipan effort. Americans! What a people! Large and small, petty and corrupt, large and self-sacrificing: mankind writ large and in full. God, the social and technological innovation, the energetic dynamism of a great and free people.

Our determined work in the years after the war to police ourselves, to improve ourselves, our fantastic and ugly shortcomings, our determination for a better nation and world. God, I loved us like some sap, but I loved us.

What have we become? It is enshrined in the cynosure of Dylan Mulvaney. In Portland, Oregon and what used to be the Mexican Border.

The strangest thing is that adults seem to believe that this can go on forever, that the dollar will be forever and always thee currency, social security will always be there, law and order, a coherent military . . ., but things that can't go on wont.

“Lived experience,” as if there’s any other kind:)

Yes, “lived experience” is essentially redundant. But that seems the norm from these moonbats.

Another great example of your factual, well researched and humorous as Heck journalism!!

This was a great read! I often wonder when these fools will learn the Fentanyl Camp “bums” and their generally hopeless addicts are laughing at them? Most of them are too brain damaged to even want sobriety anymore.

Is it really worth destroying a city over?

Pathological Altruism strikes again.
