Gay surrogacy and gay adoption are predicated on the idea that gay men (or women) have a “right” to become parents. This idea is not only morally insane but also logically incoherent. It’s exactly like jumping off a building and claiming that you have the right to fly. Nobody has the right to defy the laws of nature. Where would such a right even originate? Two men cannot be parents. It’s impossible. Doesn’t matter how they feel or what they want. It cannot be. The only “right” at issue here is the right of the child. And the child has a right to be raised by a mother and a father, not two men masquerading as mother and father.
@MrAndyNgo@MattMorseTV We have lived in Mt Tabor area of Portland for 20 years. It’s hard not to be a coward. If you just mention any conservative views, you will lose your job, neighbors will hate you, kids will be ostracized. No room for any alternative or individual thought in PDX.
@MattMorseTV I’m originally from Portland, Ore. — not the suburbs, the city itself. There are a lot of evil people there and cowards around them who enable evil.
No one is more Right-wing than a blue-state conservative.
Unless you've seen first hand, up close and personal, the damage that the far-Left is capable of causing, it's all theoretical.
I spent the first 25 years of my life in Portland, Oregon. I have seen, with my own two eyes, the real world consequences of far-Left political ideology.
Neighborhoods - destroyed.
Crime rates - skyrocketing.
Small businesses - gutted.
Homeless population - through the roof.
Illegal aliens - everywhere.
Housing costs - stratospheric.
Public parks and playgrounds - littered with used needles.
Sidewalks - covered in graffiti and human feces.
Your old friend from highschool - overdosed, dead.
Take it as a warning from me -- we can NEVER let these people win.
Two men are on their way to collect their third surrogate baby.
The pair previously collected twins, and were blasted online for using them as social media accessories to farm views.

“We have a civil rights frame work in our state. It includes tr*ns youth. This is a biological question. It is quite simply INACCURATE to say BIOLOGICALLY that there are only boys or girls. There is a “CONTINUUM.”
@AsianDawn4 I’m white, my wife Asian, we live in Portland, Oregon. We rarely talk politics. Our teenage son and daughter express very conservative beliefs because they are not stupid.
Might be a combination thing. White dad/Asian mom in the US would most likely pump out woketard children. Asian dad/White mom most likely pumps out conservative children, from what I've seen....A White dad/Asian mom in San Francisco pumps out 100% reverse racist anti-White and anti-Asian children
My bro in suburban Denver says there's an absolute "plague" of kids on e-bikes and e-dirtbikes bombing around the streets and neighborhoods at high speeds.
7-14 year old boys equipped with capabilities they're not mature enough to handle safely, drive like banshees through yards and intersections and golf courses etc.
I don't see too many of those here in small town TX and when I do they don't seem to be terrorizing anyone.
Curious if this is happening where you live or not. Is this a big deal?
From The Dave Ramsey Show.
This couple has a total of just under $1,000,000 in debt, here’s the breakdown.
- Mortgage $210,000
- Student Loans $335,000
- Credit Cards $136,000
- Personal Loans $44,000
- Car Loans $35,000
Their household income is $230,000.
Your thoughts.
@LaceUpSoccer Very true. My daughter plays for the Portland Thorns academy team. They are very clear to all the families that the “club” winning and # of D1 college scholarships are most important. Individual development is not a high priority.
@alexjansen The Disneyland framing is sharp. Most parents only evaluate price and tournament wins, never whether their kid actually got better. Cost is easy to measure. Development is the part most clubs leave invisible.
Two kids in club soccer costs a family close to $10,000 a year. That's before tournaments, travel, and gear.
At the end of the season, most parents still can't answer one question: "Are my kids actually getting better?"
Clubs that can answer it keep families. Clubs that can't lose them to baseball.

My wife and I went out to dinner last night to an Italian restaurant with two other couples.
We got a few appetizers and some drinks to start…
For my entree, I got seafood pescatore which was delicious. Others got pasta dishes nothing crazy.
$250 a couple with tip.
Now I’m not cheap by any means but just think it was very expensive for Italian food.
Wife tells me it’s the norm these days and that I’m out of touch with reality (since she does all the shopping and I rarely buy anything other than some clothes here and there)…
Again it was a great dinner and we had a great time but just thought $250 was very pricey for drinks and Italian food.
@ourteslafuture@LyftGyft Dude, I love FSD, however, anyone of us in that situation would’ve been relaxed looking around at the train when your car is at a full stop. There can be no expectation that the driver is in full control there. This is a huge fail for FSD.
@LyftGyft You’re saying the human that was responsible for driving that vehicle purposefully ignored their responsibility and somehow that is now Elon’s fault? Is Elon in the car with you now? Do you read contracts?
@realPatrickJr Thank you for posting this. The nitric oxide manipulation is why some migraine sufferers get severe optical migraines after erythritol. It essentially a “brain attack” from this chemical.
Erythritol also messed with nitric oxide, the molecule that helps blood vessels stay relaxed.
The sweetener effectively jammed the activation switch. Without enough nitric oxide, your vessels become tighter and more constricted.
This is extremely concerning!
A new study found that the sweetener used in millions of Americans' daily snacks can damage human brain cells within hours of a single serving.
The FDA approved it decades ago, but the new data is worrying: (1/15)
@JacksonOnRadio@MultiCareHealth I’m a physician in Portland. So sorry about this. If it makes you feel any better I took my daughter to an ENT for impacted ear wax. First visit to soften wax, second visit to dig out wax. Over $500 bill.
...have no polyps, here's a prescription for a basic nasal spray, now please leave and come back in three months for another $500+ visit."
IMO, flawed practices by @MultiCareHealth, and I'm sure they're not alone, but it's easy to see why Americans no longer want to see doctors.
How messed up is our current medical system? This is how messed up.
My nose is feeling more blocked than it should. I schedule an appointment with a @MultiCareHealth ENT in Tacoma. They keep me waiting 30+ minutes, then finally see a doctor for ~10 minutes.
Just long enough...
@erichhartmann I was also really surprised after reviewing the 14th that there is no such thing as birthright citizenship. Jurisdiction doesn’t mean subject to the laws, but refers to allegiance. How would someone with allegiance to another country and enters illegally have allegiance to USA.
I've been in this rabbit hole for years now. I used to believe that "Birthright Citizenship" was in our Constitution, and began researching it in order to better argue with conservatives and originalists who claimed it wasn't.
But the more I read and studied the 14th, Wong Kim Ark, etc… the more I realized it was not only *not as simple as I had assumed* but it seemed to me to be the opposite: that the 14th was very clear about which classes were excluded, and the Wong ruling also did not extend to illegals and birth tourists.
It became pretty obvious that so-called "Birthright Citizenship" in the US was just another progressive extrapolation that has been wrongly assumed as precedent, and simply hasn't been challenged due to a very powerful combination of progressive ideology and predatory economic interests.
But the language of the 14th is not complicated, and it still means what the framers intended: that the 14th was written for the children of ex slaves, and clearly excludes (as does Wong) classes like visitors, illegal immigrants and birth tourists through their clearly stated "allegiance" standard and the full "jurisdiction" requirement.
This article is great, and touches on some of the same important details that the "accepted narrative" pushers pretend don't exist.

@DoctorTro I have never thought of that as a process quality metric. Actually really good idea. I wonder if it is already a feature in Epic. I will check. Thank you!
@alexjansen Please post your practice wide deprescription rate to confirm your statement
Demonstrate net deprescription ? Have you published this ?
(In case you are wondering I have)
Your doctor has no guideline to deprescribe medications.
There is no standardized framework. No required curriculum. No competency assessment.
Not a single medical school in the country formally trains physicians how to safely reduce or eliminate chronic medications once started.
We train doctors to prescribe.
We do not train them to stop.
So medications accumulate.
Years go by.
Conditions change.
Drugs remain.
And no one is responsible for asking:
Does this patient still need this?
@stanveuger@ilan_wurman Who cares if it’s flimsy? It’s simple logic. No one intended for someone to sneak over the border, break our laws, spit out a baby, and suddenly it’s an American citizen for life. That’s asinine. How do people not get this?
🚨🚨🚨Columbia law professor Philip Hamburger just dropped an essay arguing that Trump is right about birthright citizenship. That now makes at least seven prominent law professors arguing to varying degrees that Trump’s EO is constitutional. Read about this development here: open.substack.com/pub/rationally…
