On this glorious Easter Sunday, we rejoice in the Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. He has conquered death and sin, offering us the promise of new life and eternal hope. May the light of the Risen Christ fill your hearts with joy and peace. Wishing you a blessed and grace-filled Easter. He is risen! Alleluia!

Oh, bless your bleeding heart, Pramila. “Being undocumented is not a crime”? Tell that to the American workers whose wages get crushed and neighborhoods get overwhelmed while you lecture us from your safe little perch in Congress. Being born isn’t a crime except maybe in your world, where you want to punish actual citizens for the sin of existing while you open the floodgates. Seeking asylum? Sure, when it’s not gamed into a conveyor belt of chain migration and welfare claims. Building a life? Go right ahead legally, like the millions who waited in line instead of cutting it. But here’s the real punchline, Congresswoman: You weren’t even born here. You popped out in Chennai, India, showed up at 16, naturalized later, and now you’re in the House preaching that borders are cruel while rewriting reality to fit your agenda. Funny how the foreign-born radical who’s sworn on something other than the Bible gets to decide what “American” law means. This isn’t compassion it’s chaos dressed up as morality from a heathen who has no business lecturing Christians or patriots about “cruelty.” Trump isn’t rewriting the law; he’s enforcing the one we already have, the one you and your open-borders squad have spent years undermining. We won’t let you turn America into a sanctuary for every sob story while real citizens foot the bill. America First means laws first, not feelings first. Go back to organizing your activist workshops and leave the rule of law to those who actually respect it. Your time playing border fairy godmother is over.

Being undocumented is not a crime. Being born is not a crime. Seeking asylum is not a crime. Building a life in this country is not a crime. We won’t let Trump rewrite the law to fit his cruel agenda.

Oh, bless your multicolored heart, Governor Tina Kotek, you absolute heathen. Here you are, gushing over Holi the Hindu “Festival of Colors” with its pagan myths, spring rituals, and powder-throwing chaos in Pioneer Square like it’s the pinnacle of Oregon values. “Another reason #WeLoveOregon365!” How progressive. How tolerant. How conveniently blind to the glaring hole in your calendar. Tell me, Tina: What happened to Easter? You know, the actual celebration of spring’s true meaning the resurrection of Jesus Christ, the empty tomb, the victory over death that built Western civilization, including the very state you’re pretending to govern. The holiday where millions of Oregonians (the ones paying your salary, by the way) remember the Son of God rising from the grave, not some imported color war rooted in polytheistic legends about Krishna and demons. But no, Easter doesn’t get the official glowing post from your account. Too Christian? Too rooted in the faith that actually shaped America’s laws, freedoms, and moral foundation? Can’t risk offending your rainbow coalition by reminding people that real renewal comes from the blood of the Lamb, not colored powder and Bollywood beats. Instead, we get you platforming South Asian traditions while our churches empty, our families fracture, and Portland turns into a tent city experiment in godless “tolerance.” Spring arrives, Christ offers eternal life, and you’re out here hyping a festival that leave everyone dusty and confused just like your policies. Tina, if you’re gonna play cultural tour guide with taxpayer time, at least be consistent. Post about the risen Savior who makes all things new, or admit you’re just another secular pagan filling the void with whatever exotic import distracts from the collapse. Oregon doesn’t need more Holi powder; it needs Holy revival. What happened to Easter? You sidelined it for the same reason you sideline truth, order, and sanity: because deep down, you know the Cross confronts your heathen worldview, and that scares the progressive spirit right out of you. Repent, Governor. The tomb is empty. Your excuses aren’t. #WeLoveOregonWhenItReturnsToChrist

Holi, the Festival of Colors, is a celebration rooted in South Asian traditions that marks the arrival of spring. Each April, thousands gather at Pioneer Square for a two-day festival filled with music, dance. Another reason #WeLoveOregon365. Video courtesy of Edwin Nuñez

Senator Merkley, It’s Easter Sunday—a day for resurrection, reflection, and faith, not for firing off partisan attacks and conspiracy claims about “clinging to power.” Oregonians (and Americans) deserve a break from the constant political warfare, especially on a holy day meant to unite us around something higher than ballot harvesting debates. Maybe put the campaign rhetoric on pause and focus on what truly matters today. Happy Easter.

Oregonians love voting by mail—it’s a simple, secure way to have your voice heard. Trump is fighting to kill vote by mail in a desperate attempt to cling to power. HELL NO!

@GovTinaKotek Happy Easter, everyone. He is risen, and let’s pray He brings some common sense back to Salem before there’s nothing left to grow but more government mandates. #WeLoveOregonWhenItWasFree

April 4 is International Carrot Day! More carrot seed is grown in Oregon than anywhere else in the world, with Central Oregon producing over half of the nation’s supply. Another reason #WeLoveOregon365

Oh, Oregonians, here’s the no BS truth on Ron Wyden your silver-haired Senate fixture since 1996, strutting on Finance like he’s Santa with your tax dollars. He’s rammed through Secure Rural Schools payments billions in federal welfare to timber counties because actual logging got regulated to death under his watch. “Lifeline”? More like permanent dependency while forests turn into matchsticks. Wyden’s wilderness king: 400,000+ acres locked away, nearly 2,000 miles of Wild and Scenic Rivers the most anywhere. Great for Instagram hikers and salmon; terrible for loggers, miners, ranchers, and rural jobs. He “protects” rivers from mining and dams while your economy gets preserved into poverty. Pork master: infrastructure scraps, clean energy handouts, COVID unemployment juice (hello, inflation gut punch), telemedicine tweaks, and wildfire “prevention” bills that never override the green lawsuits choking real forest management. Housing grants? Announced with fanfare while Portland tents multiply and rents explode under the progressive policies he loves. Tag team with Merkley? Identical playlist more preservation, more earmarks, more climate virtue, more big-government bandaids. Wyden’s the slick veteran with tax muscle; Merkley’s the eager earmarker. Together: higher costs, hotter fires, strangled resources, urban decay, and rural decline. This isn’t service it’s managed decline with scenic views. Three decades of handouts, locks on land, and platitudes while working Oregonians pay the price. Wyden’s “deliveries” left you with dependency checks and smoke filled skies. Oregon deserves better than this progressive relic’s greatest hits of regret. Wake up and demand real results, not more wilderness worship!

Oh, listen up, Oregonians Jeff Merkley, that sandal wearing, tree hugging progressive who’s been squatting in the Senate since 2009, wants you to believe he’s some kind of savior for the Beaver State. What has he done for you? Let me translate his press releases from virtue-signaling gobbledygook into plain English. He’s secured “critical funding” for wildfire relief after years of his green zealotry helped turn Oregon’s forests into tinderboxes with endless regulations that block logging, thinning, and common-sense management. Thanks, Jeff! Your state burned 1.9 million acres in one recent season, families lost everything, and now he’s bragging about earmarks to clean up the mess his ideology helped create. Brilliant. He’s poured millions into “affordable housing” projects and broadband in coastal towns. How noble except under his watch, Oregon’s cost of living has skyrocketed, homelessness is a Portland plague, and working families can’t afford a roof because radical left policies (which he cheers) choke off development while chasing “equity” and scaring off businesses. North Bend gets $4 million? Great, maybe that covers a few units while rents keep climbing and tent cities multiply. As former Speaker of the Oregon House, he pushed rainy day funds, school spending hikes, junk food bans, and expanding government goodies like same sex benefits and smoking bans. Feel safer now? Oregon’s schools still rank middling at best, public safety’s a joke in blue cities, and the “rainy day” savings probably vanished into more bureaucracy. He loves locking up land as wilderness over 100,000 acres here, 200,000 there because nothing says “helping Oregonians” like telling loggers, miners, and rural workers their jobs are less important than some untouched dirt for owls and Instagram hikers. Merkley’s big on climate crusades, plastic bans, “Polluters Pay” funds, and grid overhauls to “reduce wildfire risks” (after opposing practical energy solutions). He’s endorsed Bernie Sanders, pushed Medicare for All experiments, and fights hedge funds in housing while the real economy stagnates. His office loves cutting red tape for constituents mostly to navigate the federal monster he helps feed. And don’t forget the endless appropriations wins: airports, community centers, fire science programs. All taxpayer funded bandaids on problems bigger government created. Look, folks, Merkley’s “accomplishments” are a laundry list of pork, preservation, and progressive pet projects that sound great in a campaign mailer but leave Oregonians with higher costs, fewer opportunities, devastating fires, and a state that’s become a cautionary tale of left wing governance. He’s delivered for the environmental lobby, the welfare state, and his DC donors not for the loggers, farmers, manufacturers, and families grinding it out in flyover Oregon who just want affordable energy, safe streets, and a shot at the American Dream without Washington’s boot on their neck. If this is “what he’s done,” Oregon deserves better than another term of symbolic gestures and economic drag. Fire up the skepticism, Portland and beyond your senator’s been “delivering” you straight into managed decline. Wake up!

Hey Jeff, you sniveling Oregon failure, spare us the crocodile tears about “exploding utility bills” while you’ve spent years turning the Beaver State into a green energy poverty pit. Trump’s not “cruelly ripping away” assistance he’s finally calling out the scam of endless federal handouts like LIHEAP that paper over the real problem: your radical left policies that have jacked up energy costs for actual working families. Oregonians are getting hammered by sky-high rates thanks to your beloved regulations, subsidies for unreliable wind and solar that fail when it’s cold and dark, and a war on affordable baseload power. That’s not “families last” that’s reality slapping your virtue-signaling face. Where were you when Oregon’s utilities were begging for relief from the bureaucratic nightmare you’ve cheered on in DC? You’ve been in the Senate forever, rubber stamping green deals that force ratepayers to subsidize bird-chopping turbines and solar farms that deliver pennies on the dollar in actual reliable energy. Families in rural Oregon are choosing between heat and groceries because of the very “assistance” addiction you peddle, not because Trump dared to question trillion dollar deficits funding it. “America First” means producing cheap, abundant American energy drill, nuclear, coal where it makes sense instead of your imported virtue and Chinese solar panels. You’ve failed Oregonians for decades: housing crisis, crime in Portland, businesses fleeing your high-tax, high-regulation hellscape, and now this fake outrage over Trump trying to fix the mess your party created. Oregon deserves better than a career politician like you who puts DC special interests and climate hysteria over keeping the lights on affordably. Step aside, Merkley. Your “thorn in the side” routine has just been poking productive Americans long enough. Families first means energy dominance, not your dependency traps.

Trump is exploding YOUR utility bills, pushing families in Oregon and across the country to the absolute limit.   And now he’s trying to cruelly rip away assistance that makes energy bills more affordable.   That’s not “America First.” It’s families last. thehill.com/policy/energy-…

Oregonians WAKE UP and choke on the progressive utopia stench! For thirty straight years, Democrats have turned Oregon into their personal socialist petri dish and the results are a flaming dumpster fire of epic failure! One-party stranglehold? Check. Skyrocketing taxes, soul-crushing regulations, and businesses bolting faster than rats from a sinking ship. Economy? Lagging the nation while your grocery bill laughs in your face. Housing? Their zoning nightmares, green-tape insanity, and “affordable housing” scams jacked prices into the stratosphere and gifted us tent-city hellscapes crawling with needles and human filth. Homelessness? Billions flushed down the toilet on programs that accomplished exactly nothing Portland’s streets turned into open-air asylums where “compassion” means letting addicts overdose in peace. Education? Rock-bottom schools drowning in equity brainwashing and fat union contracts, churning out illiterate kids while parents flee in horror. And the masterpiece? Measure 110 decriminalizing fentanyl, meth, and heroin because “treatment not jail!” Genius! Overdoses exploded, downtown became a zombie apocalypse, businesses boarded up, and even the lefties had to slink back and partially recriminalize it after reality slapped them silly. Throw in eco-fanaticism that murders logging and jobs, “defund the police” lunacy that invited chaos and crime, and a regulatory chokehold so bad Oregon ranks near the absolute worst for red tape. Hard working folks are stampeding out to red states just to breathe free air. This isn’t governance, it’s ideological arson by arrogant leftists who wrecked a once-beautiful state with their toxic fantasies of big government, soft on crime stupidity, and virtue signaling drivel. High taxes, high crime, low opportunity, zero accountability. How much more “progress” can Oregon survive? The Democrats didn’t govern it they torched it. Enough with the excuses. Time to drag these failures into the light before the whole state collapses in a heap of their own smug incompetence!

Ron Wyden just got briefed on what actual Oregonians have been screaming about for years: 11% snowpack and Crater Lake at the lowest levels in over a century. Shocking? Only if you’ve spent decades blocking responsible forest management while your state turns into kindling. Newsflash, Senator: This isn’t “climate change” magic. It’s your environmentalist buddies and their “let it burn” religion that turned our forests into tinderboxes. Dead trees, overgrown underbrush, and zero thinning guaranteed disaster when it dries out. We’ve known how to prevent this forever active management, logging the dead stuff, controlled burns, and clearing fuel loads. States that actually do it don’t have these apocalyptic fire seasons. But hey, Wyden wants to lecture Trump about “investing here at home” instead of “needless wars.” Spare me the hypocrisy. Oregon’s timber counties used to thrive on real revenue from federal logging Douglas County pulling in millions, Coos County getting nearly $2 million in a recent year, with western Oregon counties seeing around $28 million total from timber receipts. That money funded schools, roads, sheriffs, and yes, even wildfire prep. Then the radical greens and spotted owl lawsuits slammed the brakes, harvests cratered, and suddenly counties were begging for Secure Rural Schools bailouts just to keep the lights on. Your policies didn’t just light the forests on fire they bankrupted the rural economy that paid its own way through smart stewardship. More “prep” money from D.C. won’t fix what bad policy created. Real prevention means rejecting the radical green agenda that treats forests like untouched cathedrals instead of working landscapes that need stewardship and yes, that includes ramping up logging so counties get their fair share of actual timber dollars again, not endless federal welfare checks. Trump gets it: Drill baby drill for energy, manage our lands like adults, thin the forests, harvest the fuel, and stop the virtue signaling that lights up the West every summer. Oregon doesn’t need more federal cash to throw at the same failed ideas. It needs leaders who stop worshiping “nature” and start working with it before the next fire season turns Medford’s briefing into tomorrow’s headlines. The fire season is coming, Senator. Your briefing just confirmed what common sense already knew. Time to manage the forests and let the timber dollars flow or keep crying “climate” and “overseas wars” while Oregon burns. Your choice. America’s already made ours. 🐺

What I heard at today’s wildfire briefing in Medford was stunning & alarming. Snowpack = 11% of normal. Crater Lake snowpack = the lowest on record for 100+ years. The time is now for Donald Trump to invest here at home on wildfire prep rather than overseas in a needless war.

Sorry, but you’ve got it backwards. Americans aren’t ignoring anything they’re looking at their bank accounts, the border, and the world stage and remembering exactly how we got here. Record inflation, real wages down, a catastrophic Afghanistan withdrawal that emboldened our adversaries, and new wars flaring while this administration writes blank checks that’s not a MAGA record, that’s Biden-Harris. And on protecting kids? Give me a break. Conservatives have led the fight for parental rights, for getting explicit material out of elementary schools, and for actually locking up predators with mandatory minimums Democrats keep watering down. You can keep the name calling. I’ll stick to the facts: the country was more secure, more prosperous, and more respected under Trump’s policies and that’s why the America First movement isn’t going anywhere.

@WhitewolfOr7 @TinaKotek Vote blue and ignore the angry MAGAbillies who gave us WAR, higher prices, and protection of pedophiles.

For more than a year, we’ve lived through moments unlike anything we have seen before, and I’ve never been more proud of how Oregonians have stepped up. The First Lady and I were inspired by the turnout across the state for the No Kings rally! Thank you for showing up.

Tina, thanks for the sermon. “Every community is valued” — unless it’s Medford, Klamath, Roseburg, or any town that doesn’t clap on cue for Portland. “Every worker is respected” — tell that to the loggers you regulated out of a job, the small businesses you smothered, and the nurses you fired for not bowing to your mandates. “Every family has a home” — drive through downtown Portland or Eugene and say that with a straight face. You’ve handed the next generation record homelessness, open-air drug markets, and a housing crisis you made worse with feel-good edicts from Salem. And “no one gets to be a king”? Rich, coming from the governor who rules by emergency order and press release while actual Oregonians beg to be left alone. You don’t respect Oregonians — you lecture them, tax them, and then pose for OregonLive like you’re saving us from ourselves. Drop the poetry. Oregon doesn’t need another king. It needs a governor who actually listens outside the I-5 corridor.

Last weekend was about the Oregon we hand to the next generation. An Oregon where every community is valued, every worker is respected, every family has a home, and no one gets to be a king. oregonlive.com/politics/2026/…

Oh, Pramila, bless your open borders, virtue signaling heart you’re speaking “plainly” again, which in progressive speak means ignoring every hard truth that doesn’t fit your America-Last script. “We never should have gone to war in the first place”? Sweetheart, the real disaster we dodged by finally hitting back was waking up to Iranian nukes parked on ballistic missiles with “Death to America” painted on the side, ready to turn U.S. cities or our allies into glowing parking lots. Your crowd spent years with the JCPOA fairy tale, shipping pallets of cash, watching them enrich uranium to near weapons grade, fund Hezbollah rockets, Hamas tunnels, and Houthis choking shipping lanes all while chanting about “diplomacy.” That path wasn’t peace; it was a suicide pact. Iran wasn’t building windmills they were racing for the bomb, and without decisive action, the mullahs would’ve had deliverable nukes aimed straight at the USA and Israel. Now you cry about this “illegal war” like Congress needs to rubber stamp every strike against a regime that’s been at war with us since 1979. The worst alternative isn’t finishing the job to smash their nuclear dreams and terror network it’s your fantasy of surrender: pulling back, more “talks,” more cash, letting them regroup, rebuild, and nuke up anyway. That would’ve guaranteed American blood on our own soil, not just proxy fights. You want to fund everything except winning? Fine keep tweeting from Seattle while real leaders deal with existential threats your weakness created. History buries the hand wringers who let fanatics arm themselves. The adults are cleaning up the mess. America First means stopping the next 9/11 before it glows in the dark. Deal with it.

I’ll speak plainly: We don’t have great options right now in Iran because we never should have gone to war in the first place. However, the worst alternative would be to continue supporting this illegal war in any way.

Oregon has one of the highest tax burdens in the U.S., and yet the roads are still potholed, the schools keep churning out kids who can’t read or do basic math, homelessness is exploding on the streets of Portland and Eugene, and crime isn’t exactly under control. Where exactly is all that money going, Dave? That’s the real question. Politicians love to tax and spend, but results? Nowhere to be found. It’s not “underfunding” it’s misfunding. Billions funneled into bureaucracy, DEI consultants, and feel good programs that do nothing but grow government and make life worse for working families in Medford and across the state. Oregonians are getting squeezed dry while the ruling class builds their utopian experiment on your dime. Time to demand accountability, not more excuses and higher rates. The money’s vanishing into the black hole of progressive governance. Follow the incentives it’s never about the people, it’s about power.

Oregon has one of the highest tax burdens in the U.S., report says koin.com/news/oregon/or…

Oregonians pour out their guts about inflation crushing farmers and ranchers, your beloved Iran War having zero coherent plan, and quality health care being a distant dream across those wide-open Eastern Oregon miles. Spare us the crocodile tears, Senator! You’re out there in Lakeview acting like some wise oracle listening to the little guy, but the folks in those boots and Wranglers aren’t buying your act. Inflation “slamming” agriculture? That’s rich coming from the party that spent years printing money like it was confetti at a Democrat fundraiser, jamming through trillions in “Build Back Better” pork and the so-called Inflation Reduction Act that did everything but reduce inflation. Now you’re shocked shocked! that feed prices, fuel, equipment, and everything else is through the roof for the very producers who feed America? Those ranchers aren’t victims of some mysterious cosmic force; they’re getting squeezed by the same Washington swamp you’ve been swimming in for decades! And don’t get me started on your pearl-clutching about the “Iran War” with “no plan.” Oh please. While you’re busy voting against authority and grandstanding about blocking funds, the real world doesn’t run on your endless hearings and intelligence committee navel-gazing. Rural Oregon knows chaos abroad means pain at home higher costs, distracted priorities but you frame it like it’s all some evil distraction scheme instead of facing hard realities. You’ve opposed tough calls before; now you’re surprised when consequences hit the heartland? But here’s the fiery kicker, Ron the part that exposes your selective “listening” tour for the hypocritical circus it is: While these hardworking Lake County folks are telling you their livelihoods are getting hammered, have you bothered to mention Initiative Petition 28? You know, IP28, that radical PEACE Act monstrosity slithering onto the 2026 ballot like a wolf in sheep’s clothing? The one pushed by urban animal-rights zealots that would rip away longstanding exemptions from animal cruelty laws and turn everyday farming, ranching, breeding, hunting, and fishing into potential felonies? That’s right under IP28, routine livestock practices that keep operations running (the very ones keeping your rural constituents in business) could get redefined as “abuse” or worse. Branding, castration, artificial insemination, even basic animal husbandry? Suddenly on the chopping block. Killing predators threatening herds? Fishing to put food on the table? Trapping for management? All criminalized if these extremists get their way. It doesn’t just “slam” farmers and ranchers it could gut the entire rural economy of Oregon, drive up food prices even more, and hand another victory to the coastal elites who think a steak magically appears from Whole Foods without any messy reality on the ranch. You love to parade around Eastern and Southern Oregon pretending to hear the pain of agriculture, yet where’s your vocal opposition to IP28? Where’s the fiery defense of the very people whose way of life this measure threatens to outlaw? Silent as a church mouse when it comes to standing with producers against this nonsense, but oh-so-quick to amplify their complaints when it fits your anti-Trump narrative on inflation or foreign policy. Typical Wyden: all empathy theater, zero backbone for the folks actually producing something real. Oregon’s rural counties deserve better than a senator who shows up for selfies and sob stories but won’t lift a finger against ballot measures that would make their daily work illegal. Tell the truth at your next town hall, Ron: IP28 isn’t compassion it’s economic suicide for the heartland you claim to champion. Farmers and ranchers aren’t the problem; out-of-touch Washington Democrats and their radical allies are. Time to quit the performative listening and actually fight for the people who elected you not the Portland bubble that dreams of banning bacon. Your move, Senator. The ranches are watching.

Heard at today’s open-to-all #2026townhall in Lake County from Oregonians in this rural county about how inflation is slamming farmers and ranchers, how there’s no plan for the Iran War and how quality health care is too far away.

Another grocery store bites the dust in Portland’s east side Grocery Outlet on NE Sandy Blvd closing this summer. Residents already driving miles for milk and bread. This isn’t “progress,” it’s the predictable result of soft-on-crime policies that let theft run wild. Business owners aren’t closing because they hate the neighborhood; they’re closing because shoplifting, smash-and-grabs, and chaos make it impossible to operate without losing money hand over fist. Progressive DAs and city leaders in Portland have turned a blind eye to retail theft for years, treating criminals like victims and store owners like the problem. Now east Portland turns into a food desert, and hardworking families pay the price with longer trips, higher costs, and less access to basics. You can’t defund the police, hamstring prosecutors, and expect businesses to stick around. Time for Portland to wake up: enforce the law, support law-abiding citizens and entrepreneurs, or watch the city hollow out even more. Leaders who prioritize ideology over safety and commerce are failing the very people they claim to help.

People living in Portland’s eastern quadrant are bracing for another loss: the Grocery Outlet on NE Sandy Blvd. is set to close: bit.ly/48om6oK We spoke with people who say losing grocery stores has already forced them to travel farther for basic necessities.

“Oh, bless your heart, Tina Kotek. ‘We all rise together’ except for the hardworking Oregon families getting crushed by your sanctuary policies, skyrocketing crime, and tent cities that look like third world slums. You ‘believe in lifting up all communities’? Tell that to the businesses fleeing Portland, the addicts nodding off in your parks, and the parents watching their kids’ schools turn into chaos. Raising voices? The only voices you’re hearing are the radical activists who put you in office while real Oregonians are packing up and leaving your failing experiment. Keep preaching unity from your ivory tower meanwhile, the rest of us are living in the disaster you call ‘progress.’ Oregon deserves better than this empty virtue signaling. Time to wake up, Governor.”

Here in Oregon, we believe in lifting up all communities. We all rise together. Thank you for raising your voices.

Newsflash, Governor: Real leaders don’t coddle criminals and call it “protest.” They restore order so citizens aren’t afraid to walk their own streets. But no, you’d rather grandstand in court, burn through taxpayer dollars on lawsuits, and pat yourselves on the back for keeping the Guard sidelined while the body count and business closures pile up. Bravo your “victory” is just another chapter in Oregon’s decline into managed dystopia. Then you crow, “He tried to cut food assistance. We stopped him.” Give me a break. This is the same crowd that screams “cruelty” every time someone suggests welfare shouldn’t be a lifestyle subsidized by the productive. During shutdown fights and budget battles, suddenly SNAP benefits become a holy sacrament that can’t be touched without your heroic intervention. Oregon declares a “food emergency,” funnels millions to food banks, and acts like Trump personally snatched bread from babies’ mouths. Meanwhile, your state’s policies, sky-high taxes, regulations strangling farms and businesses, energy costs through the roof, help create the very dependency you’re “saving” people from. It’s not compassion; it’s a racket. You expand the underclass, then demand endless federal dollars (which you happily beg for when wildfires or floods hit, by the way) to paper over the mess. Trump wasn’t “cutting” food, he was pushing accountability in a bloated system where fraud, waste, and multi-generational traps thrive. But sure, keep posing as the noble defender while Oregonians struggle to afford groceries because progressive utopia jacked up every cost of living. And now the grand finale: “Now he’s attacking our right to vote by mail. We’re not backing down.” Attacking the right to vote? Please. This isn’t about “silencing people” it’s about securing elections so dead people, illegal ballots, and harvested stacks don’t decide outcomes in the dead of night. Oregon’s been all in on universal mail in for decades, and look at the trust level: plummeting nationwide because folks see the glitches, the unsecured drop boxes, the unverifiable signatures, the chain-of-custody nightmares. Trump wants verified voter rolls, in person options where fraud is harder to hide, and safeguards that every legal citizen’s vote counts without the system being gamed. But to you, that’s “voter suppression.” Classic leftist projection accuse the reformers of the very sins your side perfected in 2020 and beyond. Oregon’s “model” system works great if you like low turnout convenience that conveniently favors one party and invites skepticism. Real election integrity means IDs, same day voting where possible, and purging the rolls of ghosts and non citizens. “We’re not backing down”? Good, keep fighting for sloppy, fraud friendly chaos. The rest of America is waking up and demanding elections worthy of a republic, not a banana one. Tina, your whole post is peak Democrat deflection: Blame Trump for trying to fix what your radical governance broke. Portland didn’t need Guard troops because of some imaginary right wing boogeyman it needed them because progressive experiments in defunding police, embracing disorder, and open borders turned it into a cautionary tale. Food assistance fights reveal your addiction to big government dependency machines. And vote by mail hysteria? It’s fear that clean elections might end the grift. Oregon deserves better than this performative resistance theater. While you’re “not backing down” from protecting dysfunction, real Americans are backing leaders who prioritize safety, self reliance, and secure sovereignty. Keep clutching those pearls, Governor the adults in the room are done playing along with the decline. America First, Oregon First means cleaning house, not enabling it. Your move.

Trump tried to deploy the Oregon National Guard to Portland’s streets. We stopped him. He tried to cut food assistance. We stopped him. Now he’s attacking our right to vote by mail. We’re not backing down.

Oh, spare me the crocodile tears, Congresswoman Maxine Dexter! Here you are, wailing like a banshee on the internet about the Supreme Court “leaving our LGBTQ+ youth behind” because they had the audacity the sheer gall to strike down Colorado’s ban on so called “conversion therapy” in an 8-1 smackdown. First Amendment? Pfft, who needs that dusty old relic when we’ve got feelings and rainbow flags to protect? Let’s cut through the hysterical fog you’re blowing. The Supreme Court didn’t “leave kids vulnerable” to some medieval torture chamber. They ruled that the government can’t gag licensed counselors especially those with religious convictions from having honest conversations with minors about their attractions, their identity struggles, or their faith. It’s called free speech, lady, not a license for electroshock. Therapists can now actually explore the root causes of confusion instead of being forced into the rainbow rubber stamp of “affirm, affirm, affirm or else lose your license.” You screech that conversion therapy is “dangerous, disproven, and denounced by every major medical association.” Oh, please. Those same medical associations spent years pushing puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries on confused kids treatments now facing massive backlash, European countries slamming the brakes with Cass Review style reality checks, and even some of those groups quietly backpedaling as the lawsuits from detransitioners pile up like cordwood. The “disproven” label gets slapped on anything that dares question the trans industrial complex, but suddenly exploratory talk therapy that helps a kid reconcile with biological reality is the new boogeyman? Give me a break. Your crowd wants to codify “protections” that lock kids into irreversible paths before their brains are even fully formed. Boys in girls’ sports? Check. Mastectomies on troubled teens? Double check. But heaven forbid a counselor says, “Hey, maybe this distress is tied to trauma, autism, social contagion on TikTok, or just normal puberty angst let’s talk it through without rushing to the scalpel.” That’s not “vulnerable” that’s protecting children from fads masquerading as medicine. The real vulnerability is the exploding rates of gender dysphoria among teen girls, the mental health comorbidities everyone ignores, and the parents steamrolled by activist doctors chanting “affirm or suicide.” Everyone should live as their “most authentic self,” you say? Fine after they’re adults with fully developed frontal lobes. Kids aren’t miniature adults ready for chemical cocktails and life-altering decisions because some activist told them their feelings define reality. Biology isn’t bigotry. Chromosomes don’t care about your hashtags. The Supreme Court just reminded the nanny state that it can’t play thought police in the therapist’s office, forcing one ideological script while banning dissent. This isn’t about hate; it’s about truth over trendy ideology. Parents deserve options beyond the affirmation conveyor belt that leads too often to regret, sterility, and lifelong medical dependence. If “codifying protections” means more government mandates to silence dissent and fast track experimental interventions, then no thanks we’ll take the Constitution instead. The kids aren’t “behind”; they’re finally getting a fighting chance at real help instead of ideological grooming. Wake up, Maxine. The Court’s not the villain here. The zealots demanding speech codes and child mutilation are. America just chose liberty over your rainbow orthodoxy. Deal with it.

The Supreme Court is leaving our LGBTQ+ youth behind. This leaves our youth vulnerable to conversion therapy, which is dangerous, disproven, and denounced by every major medical association.
