River over troubled bridges

So, basically, 500 million Europeans expect 300 million Americans to protect them from 120 million Russians who can’t even defeat 40 million Ukrainians while those 500 million Europeans don’t even realize they are being conquered by 2 billion Muslims who claim they are being persecuted by 8 million Israelis. Is that about right? 1

The city of Portlands budget hole in 2027 will be $250M+… business license taxes in free fall, reduced real property taxes and highest reduction in single family home asking price of any major city in America, hotels selling at 90% discounts… All brought to you by 40 years of shitty democrat (communist) policy and final nails in coffin of rank choice voting at 25% + 1 allowing DSA cosplay communist kids into office who have zero business acumen, leadership ability or common sense. The economic chain reaction isn’t complicated: When people stop feeling safe, foot traffic suffers. When foot traffic suffers, businesses struggle. When businesses struggle, property values and tax revenues come under pressure. Public safety and effective behavioral-health services are not luxuries. They are foundations of a functioning urban economy. Yet Portland’s leaders have too often treated enforcement, treatment, and accountability as though they conflict with compassion. They don’t. People experiencing addiction and mental illness deserve real help, and everyone else deserves safe streets. A serious government must deliver both. You cannot repair a damaged reputation with another task force, another slogan, or another tax increase. You repair it by restoring order, providing effective treatment, protecting commerce, and measuring results instead of celebrating intentions. Compassion without results is an empty promise. Policy without accountability is an expensive failure. And a city that refuses to govern effectively should not be surprised when investors, businesses, workers, and visitors decide to take their money elsewhere. @MayorKWilson @portlanddsa @mitch4portland @pnwpolicyangel @kanalforpdx @candaceforpdx @jamiedunphy @TeacherTiff4PDX portland.gov/mayor/keith-wil…

I am looking at this for my next gun purchase. What do you think?

🚨Vince Edgar Chavez faces multiple felony charges in Clackamas County tied to the early-morning Canby kidnapping and assault case. 🔹Attempt to Commit Any Degree of Murder or Aggravated Murder (Felony Class A) 🔹Assault in the First Degree (Felony Class A) 🔹Unlawful Use of a Weapon (Felony Class C) 🔹Kidnapping in the First Degree (Felony Class A) 🔹Sodomy in the First Degree (Felony Class A) 🔹Sodomy in the First Degree (Felony Class A) 🔹Sexual Abuse in the First Degree (Felony Class B) 🔹Burglary in the First Degree (Felony Class A) 🔹Assault in the Second Degree (Felony Class B) 🔹Unlawful Use of a Weapon On Oct. 28, police say Chavez entered an apartment at The Orchards complex in Canby around 1:40 a.m., assaulted a 12-year-old girl, and abducted her 10 year old sister. Roughly 13 hours later, the younger girl was found alive in an Oregon City residence Police have not released further details on exactly who was home or the specific circumstances inside the apartment at the time of the incident.

My biggest concern is that if there is a clean sweep by Democrats of the House, Senate and Presidency in 2028, they will: 1. Make DC and Puerto Rico states to gain a strong majority in the Senate. 2. Open the borders and legalize everyone living in America illegally to cement a permanent majority. 3. Increase the size of the Supreme Court to gain an immediate majority. This would result in America becoming a permanent one-party state and the end of democracy in any meaningful sense of the word. All that is needed to ensure this doesn’t happen is 51 Republican senators in 2029. That is why you should vote for Republican senators this election. Other reasons are irrelevant compared to this one.

LEAKED: MICROSOFT'S CLOUD + AI CHIEF TELLS EMPLOYEES "WE WANT TO BRING MORE TALENT INTO THE UNITED STATES." That is Scott Guthrie in his division's internal AMA, two days after Microsoft offered buyouts to about 60,000 employees and a week after the US Gov’t suspended their PERM filings. He told visa and green card holders Microsoft will "continue to sponsor" them. He said Microsoft is "working with the US administration to get clarity," and "we're not sure that everyone's looked at the right data."
