Oregon, Again

What’s up everybody. The city of Salem is forcing @valleyroofingoregon to remove the mural I painted or to give the mural to the Salem art society. This mural is painted on the property of the business owner. Far away from the street or city property. The city is fining him 200 plus dollars a day if it doesn’t get removed. Or he has to give the mural to some art society. .

We are making a petition to keep it up.

Not only do they want it removed immediately. But they want it removed during the winter. Where you cant even paint over it. What a play by the city of Salem.

 

The offending mural:

 

 

Oregon, where anything goes - except freedom of expression.

 

Who Does The House Of Representatives Represent?

Not Americans, it seems:

https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2021/12/house_of_representatives_votes_to_eradicate_blasphemy_against_islam_.html#.YcrYMphkSZI.twitter

The actual text of the bill not only seeks to eradicate blasphemy against Islam around the world – and solely against Islam at that – but even requires the federal government to reorganize some portions of the State Department along the lines of an Islamic religious institution which will be responsible for interpreting the Quran.

Apparently, separation of church and state is considered to be an outmoded concept in the U.S. House.

 

New Biden Stuff

In an unsettling development, the administration of Joe Biden is asking American citizens to betray friends and family who have different political views, and report them to the government for allegedly being “radicalized,” as reported by Breitbart.

In addition to seeking tips from American citizens to turn in their friends and loved ones, the official also said that the government would be working with tech companies to increase surveillance on alleged “radicals.”

Seems that they've decided to go full-commie.

 

Life In The Gulag

Oregon:

Gov. Kate Brown announced Nov. 13 a two-week "freeze" for the state that will take effect starting Nov. 18. Restaurants and bars will have to go back to take-out service only — previously they were allowed to have limited indoor seating — and indoor recreation centers like gyms, museums and theaters will close again, as will zoos and gardens. Grocery stores will be limited to 75% capacity, and Brown is encouraging curbside pickup when possible. 

Additionally, the freeze will stop visits to nursing homes and business are now required to mandate that employees work from home as much as possible. Social gatherings, in or out, are not to include more than six people from two households.

Oregon has had a statewide mask order since July.

In the Portland metropolitan area, the orders are applicable for at least one month. Fortunately, I stocked up on dog-food and groceries before this kicked in; I go shopping once a month, and I have meats and fish shipped directly to my home from suppliers. I can do fine without Brown's directives, and would greatly appreciate it if she'd just go back home to Minnesota.

 

No Mosque

@NYGovCuomo is sending around plainclothes agents to photograph the inside of synagogues to make sure that no one is praying.

It appears that his directive applies only to Christian and Jewish places of worship, as Muslims are exempt.

To be fair, it may be that his intent is directed toward ensuring that Christians and Jews don't die from the Virus, but is willing to let it kill off the Muslims. However, that seems unlikely as he doesn't seem to be bright enough to hatch such a plan.

 

It Was Only To Be Expected

Not content with banning plastic bags and Styrofoam takeout containers, government overlords in New Jersey now plan to ban paper bags and paper takeout containers. This is sure to catch on among government types elsewhere.

While some states impose a fee on paper bags, New Jersey’s lawmakers say the state would be the first to ban paper bags.

At some Kroger stores, you still get a choice between paper bags and plastic bags - but they charge you a nickel per bag.

But Fred Meyer stores are among many owned by Kroger, and while you get a choice if you shop at their stores in the suburbs, that's not the case in the city of Portland, which banned plastic bags and Styrofoam some time ago; it's paper or nothing, and it's really great during the winter rains (paper stands up so well when wet).

More Law & Order In U.K.

Sex in your house with someone from outside of your household is set to become illegal today.

The government is introducing new lockdown measures in England that prevent people from socialising (or gathering) with one person from outside of their household in a private space.

I've no idea as to just how many laws and rules the politicians there have imposed, but clearly the busybodies haven't been busy enough.

 

 

Chicago

The city of Chicago has already seen 36 people shot and nine killed over Memorial Day weekend, making it the deadliest one since 2015. According to data tracked by the Chicago Tribune, the number of shootings this year is approaching 2019's total, despite the coronavirus lockdowns, severe storms, and added police units.

So what's mayor Lori Lightfoot doing? Why she sent a bunch of squad cars loaded with police to raid a church that was conducting Sunday services against her order. Way to address problems in the city, eh?

 

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot ordered a police raid on a black church after they defied her coronavirus lockdown order and resumed Sunday services.

Krazy Kate, Obsessed With Authoritarianism

SALEM, Ore. (AP) — Ten churches from around the state are suing Oregon Gov. Kate Brown, arguing her coronavirus stay-at-home orders are unconstitutional. Lead attorney Ray Hacke said plaintiffs are all over the state.

“There’s a rising tide of churches and churchgoers wanting to push back against Governor Brown’s oppressive executive orders, and this case will hopefully remind her that she is not free to dispense with constitutionally protected liberties, even in emergencies,” Hacke said in a statement.

She's just being a Democratic. Name a state that's been under the thumb of Democratics for years that hasn't been run into the ground. In her latest move, she's declared a "drought emergency" and banned "dispersed camping" statewide. That seems to go against her whole "social distancing" schtick - and it's unclear if that applies to the population of bums, many of whom camp in Portland's Forest Park and elsewhere. It should, as the bums rarely (as in never) clean up after themselves, and they do start a lot of campfires.

CANBY, Ore. (KOIN) — One week after police shut down a restaurant in Canby for violating Governor Kate Brown’s executive order, dozens of customers flocked to the establishment with folding chairs to eat outside in a show of support.

How dare the owner of the tiny restaurant defy Kate? Well, unlike her, he has bills to pay; he doesn't collect fat paychecks with "free benefits" like healthcare and retirement, and he doesn't live on taxpayer money.

 

Another Democrat-Run State, So What's The Big Surprise?

California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Thursday began relaxing his stay-at-home order that was issued to limit the spread of the novel coronavirus, while also announcing that the state has a staggering $53.4 billion budget shortfall.

Not that it's a problem, or anything; he and his fellow Democratics will just raise taxes again - and then complain about companies relocating to places like Texas. They don't seem to understand the relationship between cause and effect.
