The 1st Amendment is the bark, the 2nd Amendment is the bite. They are inextricably intertwined. That's why they are 1st and 2nd.

The income tax rate should be 0% for everyone. Fixed it for you.

Read your post very carefully, take 60 seconds and get back to us...🙄 "...because they arrived late through the mail..." Yeah...what could possibly be wrong by that. Tell ya what Skippy, you and the @ORDems willing to never enforce any govt deadlines on residents for taxes or forms or fees? No? yeah...thought not. You and your ilk can go pound sand.

The Supreme Court is deciding whether or not to block states from counting ballots that were legally cast by eligible voters by Election Day simply because they arrived late through the mail.

Ooooh, let's bring in an expert in who can truly exploit the hardworking, LEGAL taxpayers! @jvegapederson is lining up all the necessary mechanisms of evil to destroy Multnomah County once and for all because she has an ax to grind. Good luck, Oregonians, you are going to need it. The Homeless Industrial Complex is about to shift into 5th gear.

Cut everything and cut it deep.

@MAC_Arms @SteyrArmsUSA Never got a chance to shoot one but always wanted to.

The original @SteyrArmsUSA AUG was adopted by the Austrian military in 1977. Importation of a semiautomatic rifle to the US started in the early 1980's but was banned in 1989 by G.W. Bush. Now they're made in the US and they've evolved nicely. Do you like the AUG?

@NagelHausForge That's beautiful sheath and knife. G10 or Micarta scales?

Finally got this sheath finished for this gorgeous wrought iron San mai knife! Time to send her on to her new home!

Yet the @ORDems only push for more taxes, fees, regulations and other nonsense to that does nothing to help the avg OR resident. They only want to enrich the govt class and their donors. Oregon Democrats have controlled the state for over 35 years. There is no one else to blame for Oregon’s high cost of living, and problems. Continuing to vote for the Oregon Democrats is literally insane.

@mmcdonaldlewis @PNWLibertyBelle Unfortunately Portland’s dogmatically dim Dem voters will keep voting for the same incompetent and gritting people and policies. When Portland finally decays badly enough, those voters will leave and go ruin some outer place. They will never change.

Key points from the linked article about the doom-spiralling idiotic Portland: 1. You Are Paying More and Getting Less By a Wide Margin Portland residents now carry the second-highest combined tax burden of any city in the United States, behind only New York City. And what did residents get in return? Police take nearly 20 minutes on average to respond to a high-priority emergency which is nearly double the national standard. Portland Fire & Rescue meets its own adopted response time goal less than half the time. Streets are crumbling under a $6 billion maintenance backlog. Mental health services are so dysfunctional that a sitting county commissioner — herself an emergency room doctor — declared in writing that the system had failed and asked the governor to intervene. In Oregon’s public schools, only 43% of students are proficient in English and just 31.5% in math. These numbers sit below pre-pandemic levels, and well behind neighboring Washington state. 2. Portland is Losing People, Jobs, and Businesses, and the Trend Is Accelerating Portland is shrinking. Multnomah County has lost population every year since the pandemic. The region lost more jobs in 2024 than any other major metro area in the country — while the rest of the nation was growing. People moving to Clark County, Washington — just across the river — earn an average of $105,800 per year. People moving into Multnomah County earn an average of $73,540. Higher earners are voting with their feet. Portland Public Schools lost 6,000 students since 2018 (the equivalent of three high schools) and enrollment is projected to decline for 14 more years. The district has cut $75 million from its budget over three years with $50 million more planned, and up to 10 schools may close by 2027. Office vacancy has climbed to around 37%—among the highest in the nation—while demand has sharply declined, with leasing activity falling to near-record lows. Retail vacancy is also elevated, outpacing most peer cities. At the same time, property values are dropping significantly, While many U.S. cities are beginning to recover, Portland continues to see rising vacancies, falling demand, and declining asset values. 3. We are Not Holding Them Accountable Multnomah County spent over $500 million annually on homelessness — more than $53,000 per homeless person — and the homeless population grew. The Preschool for All program collected hundreds of millions of dollars more than it budgeted, left $485 million sitting unspent at the end of fiscal year 2024, and delivered fewer than 3,800 of the 11,000 seats promised to voters by 2030. The homeless services department violated its own budget rules by funding permanent programs with one-time money — then declared a crisis when that money ran out. Portland Public Schools test scores flatlined and families are left with no plan that has reversed either trend. DATA souce for this article linked in the comments. nwexaminer.com/p/portlands-da…

Is Portland actually making a comeback? A recent New York Times article highlighting the Rose City's quirky nature and path toward a new chapter has sparked discussion around its ongoing challenges, and and if there's a problem with optics. katu.com/news/local/nyt…

@JustAmyMcC Even with a perfect non-Dem candidate, the question is would enough OR Dem voters fill in the ballot for anything other than a leftist Dem. I just don’t know. Most OR Dem voters would sooner have a convicted child rapist babysit their kids than vote for a republican. 🤷‍♂️

Oregon may never improve at this rate. Our Republican candidates give us ZERO VOICE! One candidate shuts off all comments and the ones he allows, there are never any answers. One surrounds himself with pedos and has a drunk working his page that blocks almost everyone that asks a question she doesn’t like. (Who throws shade like it’s glitter so I don’t feel bad for saying this) Never get an any answers from the other two either.

All of those who REALLY know about Measure 114 and our case out in Harney County know what a pivotal role my friend Ben Callaway of Spent Cartridge in Burns, OR played! So glad to see Ed Diehl visiting with a man who volunteered his time and resources to protect ALL of our gun rights. He was at every hearing (one of the few besides me who can say that) and has great insight on what gun owners and Eastern Oregonians need!

Sadly, no. Portland has attracted the most dogmatically dim left of the leftists. Portland Dem voters would literally sooner have a convicted child rapist babysit their kids before they'd for anything other than a leftist Democrat. The only way portland changes is when it figuratively burns or decays to the ground and the current crop of lefty Portlanders move on to ruin another city. Until then, nothing changes.

I wonder what percentage of these people are realizing that they need to vote differently? Will the pendulum ever swing in Portland or is abortion always going to win?

My only nod to wearing green for the day….@BenchmadeKnives and 1791 Gunleather.

If you're an OR gun owner, you should be following @TonyAielloJr who is leading the efforts to stop Measure 114. Below is a great update.

@momma_pdx That's still a thing? 🙄

Livestream at the Portland Ice facility tonight 👇 Misfits & a chicken.

@EduNainM @4Boutdoors Outstanding!

My first knife is finished. Lots of fun, and lots to learn. Thanks Brandon for all the help! @4Boutdoors

@GovTinaKotek / @TinaKotek and the @ORDems hate you and your kids. They only care about themselves, their PERS retirement, and the union support that keeps them in money and power. Everything else is expendable and here to serve them. That's it. If you're one of the Dem voters who keeps these corrupt and incomptent politicians and bureaucrats in power, you also either hate your fellow residents or at just insane.

Go pound sand @GovTinaKotek /@TinaKotek . This was a despicably corrupt order that shows you don’t care about OR residents.
