Fifth Column
Portland on the verge of the most violent year in modern history
Getting what they voted for, good and hard.
[HOTAIR] Portland
...a formerly lovely city in Oregon, governed by an unholy alliance of communists, anarchists, and incompetents. In 2017 the city was named as the fifth most business-friendly in the nation. It took only three years for the city to degenerate to the point where it became a national embarrassment, with antifa and Black Lives Matter bullying taxpayers and occasionally shooting one as an example to the others...
hasn’t quite crossed that line this year but it seems inevitable. So far this year, 68 people have been killed compared to a high-water mark of 70 who were killed back in 1987. Of course the population of Portland is almost double what it was in 1987. Still, the city had just 36 homicides in all of 2019, so a sudden surge to what will likely be double that in 2021 is worrisome.

Fatal shootings in almost all sections of the city have followed fistfights, social media disputes, and drug deals gone bad. People sitting in cars, relaxing after work with friends in a bar, attending house parties or walking in a park have been rubbed out.

Forensic analysis of spent bullet casings from scene of the crimes reveals connections between many of the shootings, pointing to gangs and retaliation as frequent drivers of the gun violence, Sherlocks say...

From January through the end of September, police counted a total of 943 shootings that killed or injured 307 people. That compares to 488 shootings and 126 people killed or injured in all of last year.

During that same period, police recovered 4,909 bullet casings. That compares to 4,652 in all of 2020.

  • [Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] Alexander 'Xan' Tanner, 30, is a founder and the president of Panorama Education, an analytical software and services company in Boston

  • Tanner married Attorney General Garland's daughter Rebecca in 2018

  • Panorama recently put out a resource that includes an article that calls both Ku Klux Klan members and Trump's supporters 'examples of white supremacy.'

  • The article, also claims that 'murderous police officers' is part of the reason why white supremacy 'is everywhere'

'This is Not a Negotiation'
Whee! That’s hitting ‘em back gooder and harder.
[THEPARADISE.NG] One could feel the tension at a Clark County School District board meeting as one fed-up dad spoke for a group of fourteen parents while serving a $200 million lawsuit over mask mandates. Watch:

"This is segregation based off of your own fears and your own personal interests," the unidentified father argued. "The people in this country have had enough, and we are fighting back."

"I have something to give you," he then said. "Security, would you do me a favor? Would you please hand those forms to the board members? You’ve been officially served a $200 million lawsuit with six complaints and violations or multiple amendments."

"Your job is not to be concerned with the children’s health," he added. "You’re not nurses. You’re not doctors. You are not responsible for their health organization. Your only focus is on our children’s education, and the education system here is 50th in the state, and you make almost more money than anybody else."

"It is very clear that you have failed in doing that job," he said. "This country is not alone. It’s time that we wake up. Now, we’re gonna do a lawsuit after lawsuit after lawsuit. We can throw it out as much as you want. We’re gonna keep this paperwork on your desk and keep the problem going until we get exactly what we want."

"This is not a negotiation, we will have our freedom of choice, and we’re gonna see you in court," he added to applause.

The lawsuit was served in late September, and was reported by the Las Vegas Sun.

"Another set of parents has sued the Clark County School District in federal court to eliminate its coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)
...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...
pandemic mask mandate," the Las Vegas Sun reported. "They want $200 million in damages and criminal charges for top district officials."

"Fourteen plaintiffs, with 18 children between them, said in the suit filed Monday in U.S. District Court in Las Vegas that the school board and CCSD Superintendent Jesus Jara ’blatantly and maliciously’ violated the Constitution with the requirement," the report continued.

"Plaintiffs’ children have constitutionally protected interests in the benefits that come from them not being subject to the Board’s mask mandate, including the ability to pursue an education without being subjected to health risks that are not offset by any scientifically provable benefits," the parents argued in the complaint.

"The parents, who are representing themselves, claim violation of due process rights and allege that Jara and the school board committed felony threats ’to injure a person’ because masks have been ’scientifically proven’ to cause physical and mental harm," the report added.

Mask mandates have not been shown to be effective at curbing the spread of Covid-19. A study came out this week that showed there was no statistically significant difference in Florida between school districts that followed the law and allowed mask choice and those that illegally imposed a mask mandate.

Even setting aside the scientific arguments for the moment, one can witness the relief of one boy who was informed by his mother that a group of unidentified parents won a lawsuit against the mask mandates.

That really just says it all.

#1  The truth surfaces eventually. Burred for so long truth will be told. Perhaps not in the various media but word of mouth works very well. I have always enjoyed oral history. They don't claim the media high ground. Just from my personal experience the vaccination train has killed so many. Most poor souls within thirty days. Then the living with various afflictions.

Just about anyone has looked into Face Ratings and effectiveness, except the Clark Co. B.O.E.

I guess they never read the clearly worded Disclaimers on the side of the most typically worn Paper Face Mask boxes.

Or are they just being good little Socialcrats and following the already disproved Mask Agenda being pushed by the DC Swamp?

#9  "OE label on China swabs. EO stands for ethylene oxide. Hospitals have used this for years to sterilize medical equipment. Swabs saturated with EO and swabs inserted deep into nasal cavity."

Those of you who work or have worked in hospitals Ethylene Oxide has been used for years to sterile medical equipment.

Just look for the OE label on the swab package. Insert deeply into nasal cavity and guess where near,the brain. So swabbing frequency?. Repeated exposure to a carcinogenic agent. Good luck with that.

#10  NCES counts 48m K-12 public school kids.

As compared to about 15m outside the public school system:
5.7m in private schools
~5m (?) in charter schools
~4-4.5m homeschooled

So public schools are already down to about 76% of the total, having fallen from close to 85% just 15 years ago and CA. 80% pre-COVID.

Public schools' % of total enrolled will drop another 3% this year, and maybe 1-1.5% each year for the rest of the next two decades.

That implies that by 2040 public schools will be ca. 50% of total. Those schools will likely be about 80-90% minority in most metro areas.

Most of the nation's white students will be homeschooled or, as is the case for nearly all this nation's politicians' kids, educated in private schools. Homeschooling will probably exceed 20% of total by 2040.

Gallery selling Hunter Biden's paintings saw federal COVID-19 loan increased from $150k to $500k
  • [Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] Public records show the Georges Bergès Gallery in Soho, New York City, was granted a $150,000 COVID-19 disaster assistance loan last year

  • In July 2021 - six months after Joe Biden took office - this figure was then revised, awarding the company another $350,000 and $500,000 in total

  • Just over two months later, the gallery hosted a pop-up show at the famous Milk studios in Hollywood to sell the president's son's paintings

  • The Soho gallery is also set to hold a New York City show of his work this spring

  • In total, the gallery received around $580,000 in COVID-19 relief payments - $80,000 from two PPP loans - while employing just two people

  • There is no indication Biden was involved in the loans or that Hunter profited from them - through a salary from the gallery or it marketing his paintings

  • Questions have already been raised about the ethics of Hunter's art dealings

Maher: 'How Are We Going to Build Back Better if We Have No Workers and No Supplies?'
[BREITBART] On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s "Real Time," host Bill Maher wondered how the Build Back Better bill will help the economy when there’s a shortage of workers and building supplies are being held up by supply chain issues.

Maher said, "It’s interesting. Because I keep reading about the Build Back Better bill. They want — we can’t — we don’t have enough workers, even if we passed it tomorrow. And because of all these supply chain problems, we don’t have building supplies. So, how are we going to build back better if we have no workers and no supplies?"

He added, "It’s a good idea, though. It’s always a good idea."

#1  There's no shortage of potential workers; stop paying or otherwise supporting people who aren't working (including retirees) and confiscate their savings. Then draft them into slave labor camps. It is not nearly as far-fetched as it should be.

#4  Of course, the "Build Back Better" bill has nothing to do with building or back or better. It's a slush fund the size of the Roman Empire.

Trump’s DC hotel lost $70 million during his presidency despite foreign business
And never complained about it.
[IsraelTimes] Congressional panel says former US president’s firm had to inject millions into the luxury hotel; Trump Organization alleges ’political harassment’.

Former United States president Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and whatever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
’s company lost more than $70 million on his Washington, DC hotel during his four years in office, despite taking in millions from foreign governments, according to documents released on Friday by a congressional committee investigating his business.

#3  Literally everything these nutters claimed about Trump was false. Nearly all of it is actually true of Biden and his grifting family:

1. colluding for personal enrichment via signed JVs and sweetheart deals with front companies top officials of a hostile foreign power: these assholes completely fabricated nonsense about Trump and Moscow real estate, a city and nation where his company has no history to speak of, and quashed the actual, existing, in your face billion-dollar deals between Hunter Biden/The Big Guy and Chinese govt front companies-- plus the corruption that landed two of Hinter's close business partners in federal prison.

2. Dictatorial executive branch power grabs. Biden's DOJ and FBI are hunting down ordinary moms who don't want their kids terrorized with Marxist struggle sessions or tranny dild0 story hour.

It's Biden's police state that has persecuted the 1/6 trespassers, labeling them "terrorists" and detaining the latter w/out habeas corpus for going on a YEAR now. Trump did nothing at all against the 9-month actual reign of terror perpetrated by the acolytes of St George Floyd and Antifa.

3. Military blunders and treasonous phone calls to foreign leaders. They falsely accused Trump of making such calls, but it was Biden (and Milley, behind Trump's back) who actually did commit such a treasonous offense.

Biden royally fucked up the AFG pullout -- even though he was warned that the AFG govt was about to collapse -- which warning he passed on to the AFG president and then LIED ABOUT TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

4. They spread bullshit about Trump being mentally incompetent -- he passed his doctor's test with flying colors -- and ignore the obvious fact that in Biden, we actually do have an obviously mentally incompetent, early-stage dementia sufferer.

5. They claimed Trump would steal the election -- and then their allies in the media and Big Tech spiked unfavorable news and helped corrupt local officials perpetrate a third world, goat rodeo farce of an election to push their basement-bound muppet across the finish line.

These bastards are completely shameless.

Let's go, Brandon

#4  Which way did Trump's net worth go between his inauguration in 2016 and today? Compare that to any or all of his predecessors.

#5  A waste of time arguing with the Trump Haters:
If Trump made money it's a sign of vast corruption,
if Trump lost money it's a sign that he is totally unfit as a leader and...
if Trump broke even -- it's a sign of how diabolical his sinister plan must be!
