Oregon Nuts

And I'm not talking about filberts.

Jeff Jerkley is in Texas - a state he's not paid to represent - flapping his gums as he always does. The guy can't do his job, so he runs around looking for spotlights to shine on himself.

Sen. Jeff Merkley is back in Texas, calling attention to what he calls the Trump administration’s “government-sponsored child abuse” at the U.S.-Mexico border.

Funny, the dork never had anything to say when Barry was doing it.

Then, there's Democratic Tina from Pennsylvania. She's out here mucking around in Oregon politics as well:

House Speaker Tina Kotek has outlined a plan to allow duplex, triplexes and four-plexes in low-density neighborhoods throughout the state – an idea that would effectively end single-family zoning in many urban areas.

If she wants density, she should go back home.

 

 

No Vote Needed

Oregon lawmakers and death penalty opponents Democratics are considering a roundabout approach at gutting the state’s capital punishment law — without sending it to voters.

Oregon voters returned the death penalty to the state Constitution for the third time in 1984, which means that it can theoretically be removed only by voters.  Democratics like tub-o'lard Mitch Greenlick of Portland, however, have decided that they don't need no steenking voters this time around.

They're planning to change the law all by themselves. Next up: eliminate voting altogether; that outdated concept was dreamed up by dead white guys back in the late 1700s, so it's really stupid and probably racist. What Oregon needs is a politburo run by Democratics from the east coast and midwest.

 

Another 1800 Companies Leave California

Most of them moved to Texas.

Gosh, why would they do that, do you suppose? Moonbeam and unicorn farts don't seem to be working out so well.

But hey! "High-speed" rail!

 

No Word From Jake And Elwood

CHICAGO

A 120-year-old Chicago church was saved from auction after a midnight call from a group of donors, which one church official said was "a Christmas miracle."

The Pansy Generation

A study found one in four teenagers is too scared to drive. (WDIV).

The other 75% were too busy texting to notice.

 

God May Not Be Dead

But Tom is.

Thomas Altizer has croaked his last.

After Altizer received his Ph.D. in the history of religions from the University of Chicago in 1955, he wanted to become an Episcopal priest. But they didn’t want him: he flunked the psychiatric exam.

Naturally, TIME put him on the cover over their Easter edition.

 

On To Britain!

Yes, the "yellow vest" crowd has been blocking traffic in jolly olde London town today. Of course, being a welfare state, it's not really necessary to do things like hold a job, so they've got plenty of time to be annoying.

 

This Would Never Happen On Most Airlines

Mainly because they wouldn't recognize a heart if they tripped over one.

Someone left a human heart on board a recent Southwest Airlines flight from Seattle, causing the Dallas-bound flight to turn around.

Was Hannibal Lector aboard? Airline food's so bad these days that many folks pack snacks....

 

March On.

Two groups of Central American migrants made separate marches on the U.S. Consulate in Tijuana Tuesday, demanding that they be processed through the asylum system more quickly and in greater numbers, that deportations be halted and that President Trump either let them into the country or pay them $50,000 each to go home. When asked how the group came up with the $50,000 figure, organizer Alfonso Guerrero Ulloa of Honduras, said they chose that number as a group. “It may seem like a lot of money to you,” Ulloa said. “But it is a small sum compared to everything the United States has stolen from Honduras.”

Interesting, as though they think there's anything in Honduras worth stealing.

How about a counter-offer: we won't hit you with napalm if you go the hell back home. It's a simple choice; life or certain death. Choose life, and return to make your own country as great as America.

 

Cali PUC Wants To Tax Text Messaging

State regulators have been ginning up a scheme to charge a fee for text messaging on mobile phones to help support programs that make phone service accessible to the poor.

Yeah, it's always about the poors. This would be a flat fee of around $15 for every wireless phone user - and retroactive to five years ago. California users could be looking (collectively) at forking over $220 million under the latest idea to steal more cash from residents who actually work for a living.

California just never quits trying to raid your wallet; no wonder people and businesses are leaving the state.
