Portland saw 19 shootings over 54 hours between early last Friday morning and Sunday evening, which the city's police chief called 'stunning'

The intercities are imploding and it will come to a town like yours very soon . Drugs are out of control and drives most of the crime sadly few ever break the addiction so it will only get worse .

That doesn't seem to worry anyone, as the real danger now is at the school board meetings.

Bad and getting worse you say....



The key is getting working class people to actually own more of the economy, to have more than a low-paid wage earner's stake in the economy. Right now the bottom 50% owns 2% and the top 1% owns 33%. No wonder so many people wonder what is the point, that there's no "getting ahead" out there to get. They're absolutely right that there's not enough of it to go around. Democrat handouts aren't the answer, but neither is the Republican reaction to describe any attempt to address this recent structural problem as Socialism!!!

It wasn't like this when Vernon or DT were young boys.

Read the paper before you put it in the cat box.



Garland?s school personnel threat memo

On Oct. 4, Garland sent a memo to the FBI, every U.S. attorney and the Justice Department?s Criminal Division.

?In recent months, there has been a disturbing spike in harassment, intimidation, and threats of violence against school administrators, board members, teachers, and staff who participate in the vital work of running our nation?s public schools,? Garland wrote Oct. 4. ?While spirited debate about policy matters is protected under our Constitution, that protection does not extend to threats of violence or efforts to intimidate individuals based on their views.?
