Antifa, Trump and Portland

There are videos currently debating about something called the insurrection act, for those who do not know of it. It is a piece of legal doctrine that has been in the country in some form or function since the times of Jefferson.

https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?path=/prelim@title10/subtitleA/part1/chapter13&edition=prelim

Fresh from the horse’s mouth so to speak.

This is the line we are looking at

“Whenever the President considers that unlawful obstructions, combinations, or assemblages, or rebellion against the authority of the United States, make it impracticable to enforce the laws of the United States in any State by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings, he may call into Federal service such of the militia of any State, and use such of the armed forces, as he considers necessary to enforce those laws or to suppress the rebellion.”

Now the bar for this is rather high, generally you need either a city or state completely over run or unwilling to enforce the law, the last time this was used was in the LA Riots in the early nineties.

Looking in the issues in the city let me go over something that no one in the city wants to deal with.

Due to the actions of our city council, mayor and, governor is why Trump can do this.

Let me explain, the president cannot use this because he does not like the city because if it were the case the penalties after the actions had been finished would mean the president could be under severe penalty.

Currently we have at minimum two investigations against the Portland Police Department, one for regular federal and another for civil rights violations. The city has allowed a group to take over a block of a street including a road allowing them to dictate traffic and enforcement without so much as a parade route request filed.

Antifa has here gotten the benefit of multiple mayors and city councils back since I started this blog six years ago. I sat through multiple riots as a homeless person saw other homeless people be attacked but the press wanted to force it on the proud boys, they couldn’t and despite the crimes of the proud boys beating the homeless was not one of them. Now it seems Portland is allowing this so I am going to let the secret go they don’t want anyone to realize.

Trump would not be here without them, these politicians from the mayor to the council to even the governor made moves to strengthen the capabilities of the federal government to handle business. The worst part is there is not a thing they can do about it. In case law Portland has declared the road in front of the facility to be theirs to take care of, and not enforcing there would be enough, however this is where they have liaison officers stand by when the city has a 20 minute average on calls where seconds mean the difference between life and death. We have city councilors asking soldiers to abandon post and to show how to hide phone records using burner phones. We have a mayor and governor who instead of solving problems will happily walk down in marches where no one is going to change their opinion just so they can be seen.

There are a hundred problems in the city but the sheer mockery of their jobs for the sake of being seen as a rising star in local politics is not going to allow them to do anything. Downtown Portland has a business vacancy rate going past 35%. One in three now.

One thing is that Portland wanted to pick this fight, these politicians wanted to have a rebel complex and instead of doing their jobs this is what they deemed important. That is the biggest problem, these politicians would rather take brownie points from their own circles instead of doing their jobs like the rest of us have to deal with. That is not a quality of a good politician or of a good person for the city and the angering thing is that no matter what your view in politics, it is just broadway, an act to make people feel better, and it sucks but it has to be said because with those actions the only thing it does is strengthen trumps position.

We need people to work, to do their jobs and not try to invite problems, and right now I do not see a lot in local government I would say is doing that.

It means because of those who want to provoke instead of problem solve we have a disaster only getting worse. That has left me personally with more questions than answers.

Stay strong.

Also, I had to sleep a lot due to health so I’m counting this as my post for yesterday.

Dancing Madness

There is a lot of things to be angry about but Portland is my home, recently we had a large hoopla about the federal troops coming in. Now, unlike what seems the entirety of the vocal political class, instead of getting something done let us take a look at something substantial.

https://public.tableau.com/app/profile/portlandpolicebureau/viz/DispatchedCallsforService/DispatchedCalls

This is the screen where the data for the Portland police is tallied and this is the response time, and the reason why this is important is for a high priority call the time to get to a call is five minutes. High priority being your rape, murder, someone is getting expressed of the mortal coil or someone is trying to put something in someone.

The lowest time, lowest, was February with fifteen minutes. The highest was September last year with 25, and we don’t have data for September yet this year.

Now, this picture is the front page as of the last day in September, and this is all the reason why Trump can use Title X. for those new here I have been complaining about this for years and pardon me but you can’t beat the classics.

YOU CANNOT CLAIM NOTHING IS WRONG WHEN MORE THEN HALF YOUR CALLS Have A TEN MINUTE RESPONSE!

When your goal is five minutes, and mind you this is just high priority calls. After a year and the best you get is three times your goal, then you are understaffed and we have been. That is one reason for title X. Another is can the city effectively enforce the law. Looking at this, no. Twenty minutes means they cannot effectively enforce the law. All of this is not because Trump thinks Kotex and Portland are crap, these numbers are your problem, and if these get fixed there is no ground for them to say.

Now I have talked about this and people go” Well trump will find another reason”

Listen, I know I can be a bit abrasive. I have the personality of a cactus. When someone does not like you, you do not make their job to ruin your day easier. All of this is within the law, you don’t want feds here, get the house in order which people have been complaining for a long time.

Our mayor decided to dance instead of work on this.

Our city council decided instead of working to appear and use it as a political stunt.

Portland isn’t about finding the next democratic star, it’s about getting work done. If we cannot find people who get work done this time, maybe we need to have different people next time.

Dems are not making themselves loved or even respected and in Portland where one of the most liberal areas in the country stand, we are making sure it will not be standing like it should.

An Outlaw Returns

It has been a little bit of time. Working on some civic projects, and trying to get more people involved in civics if not politics. Sometimes all you need is the first one.

I am not happy with how people have gone more to the left in the city of Portland there is a group of people clamoring for blood based on things that not one person cannot prove with bending themselves into a knot in some moral purity test. There is a problem here that these people do not understand they are making, because for all the wishes of violence for all they claim how the left has never had violence on anything, there are those who had seen it and lived through it.

Being homeless it was never the proud boys that beat up the homeless or stole their stuff, it was antifa. It was not the republicans who thought me to be a stereotype but it had been the leftists time and again. All of this had been personal experience but had also been the experience of those who been in my position as well. Moderates had been nice, but for those who had this idea of leftists or nothing, the ones that make politics their religion are angry when others have a different moral code.

What worries me about these people on the hard left claiming they want blood think they have the unspoken majority when nothing in the world says it. It is not even something that any poll has even spoken and on the left I do not see that. For the city of Portland I am worried about this wanting to pick a fight because I cannot see anyway that this idea of social justice will be able to stand if they demean everyone who does not believe in the same thing they do.

There will be more posts coming soon as the summer and the pasty ear has been exciting. And a lot of progress has been done but it has been something where working through the bureaucracy has been painful at time but it has been something that allowed things to change in smaller ways thinking that those with more power if driven can aim to get stuff done.

Before realizing I live in a city where everyone would bankrupt themselves as an own to their political opponent. It makes me wonder where this will lead, and how we can avoid the worst at the end of it.

I will go over some of the things new, and I hope your years have gotten better.

Stay Strong.

Part Time Advocate

From that it morphs to a lot of different things, but I will say one thing that encapsulates it all. I understand my grandfather’s love of booze, because he would drink like it was water and then show you could do anything with it including driving. No joke he was able to pass a driving test drunk save for the blood alcohol content, and the person could not tell he was a bottle of vodka or whiskey in. The cops even brought him on once to a closed course because he argued it helped him drive better.

Sad or funny thing was that he was right. He was such a nervous wreck that without booze you would see him second guess himself and whether it was just part of his life for so long or he needed it as he said it helped turn down the volume in his head to focus on what he needed to do. When he did that, he was very good at a lot of different things. Despite his reasons, he also just loved alcohol, and while I make sure not to drink as often as he does. I can count how many times a year I drink on my hands generally. The ability to turn down the noise, especially after dealing with some weapons grade idiocy, is something that will make me want to invest in alcohol production for the years to come.

Being an advocate particularly for disabled students is fulfilling and angering, and before anyone thinks, yes still I am a student in economics and business. Advocating though has a lot of problems, because very literally there is about 5% of the population around that is perfect to help and give you everything you need without causing problems. 10% cause problems every so often and a little one on one time to polish it out is what they need to make them feel like they can continue in school. That 15% I can work with all-day, all-week if I could.

For those who can math to a responsible level that means I did not talk about 85%. Disability is an odd thing in the fact that people know of it but there is an out-of-sight out of mind aspect to it and a lot of groups in the school may not put that in context. There are also, unfortunately, people gaming the system who just want an easier life and that is one of the groups that makes my work difficult. My job is to advocate that someone can do great work in lieu of a disability, and that helping navigate that disability in class or school job whether it be needing of labeling or if they need someone to take notes because they physically can not, I am all for that.

Then there are those who think just because you are disabled you have to have everything handed to you, and those although are not the majority. They are enough that when they do damage it takes the whole department to work against it and after a year we may able to erase one bad time. A lot of people have negative times and the reason that damage has to be caught is that it takes one bad experience for a teacher or a business owner to look at someone like that go to the bad experience and think it’s all useless. Some people can get past that. I can get past that for me sometimes, because I am stubborn, but some of these people come out of homes that taught them they are not going to make it, they come out of places where they always see them fall short, and if that doesn’t piss you off then you don’t know what some of these people can do. I am not saying there will be perfection or it will be easy. School will be difficult, especially if you are driven to better yourself, that is the way for me. I have to carry smelling salt around because I am so exhausted sometimes, I pass out.

Then as I am going through my days, something happened and really it started at the elections for PTK in Florida. A lot of people do not come from those homes where everything is good, and this is why I try to help any student who needs it. I may not be good at this, I may not be taught for it, and I may be one of the most evil people in this department. There are a lot of good people with no blood on their hands, and mine have been painted red sometimes it feels like it never goes away. My advocacy is also me doing everything that can be done, because sometimes the only thing someone needs is to know that something can be done. That something is within reach even if a thousand lemmings say otherwise. Rewrite your ending, make your life the story you want to tell the next generation and give no quarter when people try to stop you. Showing that it can be done, despite everything is why I do this, and it will not be what I do forever, but for now, there is a black hat in the disability advocates and sometimes that is what you need.

So for those reading, if you think you can’t than you can and if you think I am a loud arrogant egotistical dipstick. Well, you may be right on that one, but I am doing my best to make something positive out of my best traits. I will say when you see the path you are building and it begins to happen, handicapped or no it makes you feel just a little more alive than you ever have been.

Honestly, I’m guessing its how the old pirates felt seeing the open sea, that’s how I feel, and it feels good. May the sails bow your way.

Stay Strong.

Tales from the Shadowlands

Time is fickle, but fair.

My family has left me with nothing, they made the bet that I would fail and would do so at the cost of everything. that I would not make it so they can once again try to break me down further.

What they did not know, was that this time, this time I won the bet.

3 honor societies, awards and pins that had covered one of my college senate stoles so much that other people have made the joke of calling it the generals stole. As the awards are reminiscent of the rack of medals on a generals chest. That is something that cannot be taken away.

I could not be here to talk, because there was some learning that had to be done, and it was something that could not be done and then be possible for me to write about it.

We live in a world that the more you know, the more it seems to be a horror of our own design, but in that horror there are moments where hope shines. It takes a while to see them, but it does exist.

Hope is human.

Sorry for waxing poetic. Stay Strong

Called It #Why

90 day plan, called it.

Ted Wheeler and the city failed in their ninety day plan again, all of us are not shocked. I am not shocked, you are not shocked, the violence is still not going down, businesses are still leaving and those remaining cant stay open. Let me dust off something. If you believed it as well please enjoy the following.

You were right, I was right , we were all right. This is not a 90 day fix thing its a fix in decades now because the people in charge of Portland have been unable to do their jobs. Generally, I like to be some what calm. I mean I just did some writing about Slamball. The management of Portland simply put has not been able to make changes where it needs to. Someone can not tell me with everything going on that the city has not been able to do everything they needed to with the resources they have. More buildings are going in collections, News for Reasonable People on Youtube is actually a really good source if you need someone in the Portland area.

When people have to deal with such failures there is only the people in charge to blame and while other time there has been some hope of dealing things in a respectful manner there is something to be said that when such failures are so well known that people outside of the country know of the problems in the city. My home is such a failure that people across oceans know we are badly run. Stuff like this

It should not be normal and this person does it every day seeing different parts of the city that has been overrun in squalor. People who should be punished are walking the streets much like the Japanese consulate who had been attacked by one of the idiots in Portland. People who want to exchange information and knowledge get attacked, if that was not a perfect snapshot of the city, then I wouldn’t know what it was. The problem is now bleeding out into the areas around the city where it seems like there is more coming around form more sexual assault in Beaverton.

https://katu.com/news/local/beaverton-area-man-convicted-on-sexual-abuse-charges-oregon-young-victims-cares-northwest-washington-county-district-attorneys-office

I have a question. When people do not feel the police can help them, when will people start trying to handle business themselves. Remember all the crimes being reported, they are not reported if someone just pulls a gun out and tried to handle business on their own. The 90 day plan is not going to work, because things are so bad that you need to be ready to fight at times. I carry a knife on me whenever I have to go out, and if its in a bad spot there is a way where my longest blade can sit in my bag and still be in reach. 90 day plans are not going to work, the state cannot save the city from five people who fail so hard and are trying to make it so there are twelve city commissioners. You could have a hundred and if they are of the same level the only thing that would differ is how many being paid.

Mike Schmidt is so bad he should be arrested and that is a post for tomorrow because I had a good vibe today and this had to go and ruin it.

How do we fix it.

Politically, Portland is in a place of trying to keep up with appearances. It has been that way for the longest time and because of it mistakes are being made. Going more in depth no one needs to state that politically the past few election cycles have been painful. While there may not be a complete list of answers in my crystal ball there are enough that, I think, will explain how keeping up with the Joneses has made Portland fall from where it once was, as a city with so much to offer, to a warning.

For those who do not know, or may be seeing this in another country ‘ keeping up with the joneses ‘ is an saying that often describes an entity, in this case a city, keeping up with neighbors like it for the sake of not losing status. Portland may have been feeling it, because for those who do not know Oregon is on the west cast and the major cities of California, Oregon, and Washington have been the guiding force for the state as a whole, which as angered a fair number of people as the Greater Idaho project will show.

Portlandia, the fake corporate image of quirkiness for story line sake had been something that should not have been so strictly adhered to. Poetic, though that in trying to be we completely stole a line from Austin, Texas. Keep Portland weird, should have been ‘Keep Portland Honest’. Nothing is wrong with a little bit of nuance provided it is honest and it is not becoming a toxic trait. Make beer, smoke weed, be safe about it, and no problems will be heard from me. Unfortunate that many of the moments since then to try and keep the ‘quirky vibe’ had been something that has hurt us overall. The biggest backing issue of that is the homeless situation, We did not want to appear like we were mean, because the idea of Portlandia had been ingrained where people are nice, and that is not nice.

Continuing with this keeping up, I would like to make a note that San Francisco and Seattle are both very liberal, and have been that way for quite a while All three of them are aligned politically and all three of them have issues, but unlike Seattle we don’t have the sports trades and the rare streak of sense to save us. San Francisco has the money, but that does not save them, meanwhile Portland has neither. When it makes mistakes that money can help cushion the blow, it cannot do it so much as the other two, and when all three cities started allowing homeless sent to them. When the George Floyd riots were prolonged by all three because politically the riots and they aligned, and that can be verified by all three cutting money to police, rescuing rioters who had committed damage against the cities, and often times even go protest with them. Back in the Portland resistance Ted Wheeler thought it would be a good idea to join the protests with Antifa and BLM. One of those has been a group filled with pedo’s and now a group who has had one hundred million dollars over the past few years to go in reverse.

“Wheeler was protesting against the feds, then, it does not count.”

Yes, yugioh memes. However those who voice said opinion just did. The buildings in question were being damaged by the riots and were targeted and the city did not do anything to help, standing in unity against those with beliefs different from them who currently held the white house. So, because Portland looked to the other two of the three stooge cities and saw what they did, and wanted to do it too they did some stupid whose purity has to be higher then what we have seen before. Jesse and Heisenberg would need to rewrite the laws of science for meth this pure and Portland is creating condensed idiocy because the cool kids are.

It has been that way for a while, and now we need to fix it and stop the stupid lab. This is not something that can be done in months, this will have to be fixed in years and it will need to be done quick. So in no major order some ways to fix it.

First, arrest the county commissioner on all the charges he has allowed to happen because he actively let those with his political beliefs have a free walk or a slap on the wrist for charges others would get years for. Charge him as associate in all those crimes, I doubt he would get charged on one, but that means he would not be able to handle his office fairly and would need to be removed. He may even get charges, some would cheer for that.

Second, you actually clear homeless encampments and if there are drug issues you arrest them and tell them if found again it is going to be years. We have been so soft now that we have to push everything back quickly, and it will seem mean. Deal with it. Keep 110 ( the measure to have small amounts of every drug legal), but if you are found with quantities of hard drugs for dealing its minimum 5 years no deals to go lower, no more bargains.

Third, figure out whether you back the police or not, but do not waffle because either way there will be those hurt. No police, means people handle business themselves and when enough people figure that out, that means if you try to steal a candy bar and get a chest of birdshot, that’s on you. If you let people sleep on your property and the light it on fire, blame rests on your shoulders.

Fourth, remove the homeless camps and rework the mini home parks for veterans needing them and students in the city and the surrounding areas studying to better themselves. They are the ones that can live in those should free up more resources down the line for homeless families trying to get things back together, and if people want to live in their car then they need to do it in a respectful manner at least, which shouldn’t be much of a problem. A lot of people working ot survive, and living out of their car are the people you usually want to help.

Fifth, have homeless who just had a bad turn of luck be easily found and make sure the resources to help them specifically are known and used. Make sure the money is going to the right places and make sure you cheer for the success stories, because that gets other people looking at them, if they had just gotten a degree, or was able to juggle a certificate with their own family caretaker duties and I see that? I may just want them on my team when I have an opening, and can use their services.

Sixth, Cut all the political keeping up with the joneses and remove everyone who has not shown to be responsible in their job positions, and those who are not need to be fined for dereliction to their duty to the state, the city, and its people. If there are any political position where someone has been underhanded or taken money or items for reasons they should not have. It should be an instant, loss of job, loss of benefits and investigation for charges, and if evidence is found then enforce the laws and commit to possible punishment.

Seventh, figure out what this city wants to be, and what the businesses and the people want to be and realize there will always be hardship, but we can strive past it. Not shy away and cry when things don’t go our way.

Stay Strong In Any Case

What Is The Problem…

When I was out there was a lot. A lot of things that make no sense in the city of Portland. I was going to do two whole posts but I will change that plan, a little bit. Portland is my home, it has been my family when there was no family for me and seeing it go the way it has been has been painful. No one is doing well in the city it seems. It all hurts.

This post, the plan is to go over some of the bigger things and then the next one should be about why is all this happening. First problem is with the crime. Simple enough problem, looking up some people may go to the point and blame the cops, but in this case they do not seem to be the bearers of the lion’s share of the blame. Remember in the past few years the police have had item after item taken away because they were used in the riots and they stopped the riots. They had their budget cut after those riots were filled with people who threw everything from eggs, rocks and fireworks at them. All that right there would be enough to have the police station completely lose their heart.

Also, I know people will bring it up. Yes, not all police are good, but the inverse is true as well, and I have met both. When the police screw up there will be nobody faster then me to call it, but to do that we have to keep track of some laurels, and to my experience, there has been a lot of things that police could have left for and they are staying despite what feels the leadership in the county prosecutors office and in city hall trying to stop them. Those are the sources of leadership for the police as well as the office in charge with charging for crimes. When those two do not do their jobs, when they abdicate their duty for the sake of feelings of the smooth brained then, like a lot of officers have, you will wonder why you are doing it and either walk away from the city, from your badge or both.

When shoplifting gets so bad that businesses run out closing everything including some of the biggest in the country closing down locations, we have a problem. No one feels safe and a good portion of Portlanders, have been clueless to this until it directly hits them. When those people open the business to have everything jacked in the day and the police cannot come, because they are taking care of over doses, murder attempts and shootings then you feel powerless. The police cannot multiply themselves and because of how have been treated you need to pay them a kings ransom for anyone to come in.

Look up “Portland is” on Google, leave it blank, this is what was my results. A pun on the county prosecutor who failed to such a level, that now his name is a slang term for badly run event or time frame. There have been times where I have tried to screw up in my specialties, and it would not have sniffed that level of excellence in failure. Wait, I can hear it now.

“Um, that was clearly taken from a page with your profile signed in, of course it will be anti leadership, it won’t do that on a private page.” sounding like someone trying to breathe through an ocarina.

Unfortunate for that point that this is here too.

For those who still want to complain, take your L, back of the line.

This is not good. If this does not change, we are going to see it get a lot worse, right now with how bad the rest of the country has been and the money of those thinking they can hold their breath before profits plummet on things like land. All of this will be the best it looks for quite a while. Money problems from management and how the markets are trying to sit through it, that is not the sign of a healthy market. It is the sign of a market who need to get enough to cover there needs and they would not get it now otherwise they would have sold already. All of the squalor has gotten so bad that police need to escort firefighters, in some areas to fight a fire because of homeless camps.

Willamette Week reports here https://twitter.com/wweek/status/1677342515031322633

I will say twitter is the prime website for watching dumpster fires. Things have gotten so bad firefighters need to weak Kevlar. Before you ask if that is part of natural kit, no it is not. Kevlar is not great for fighting fires but it handles bullets fairly well. https://www.oregonlive.com/portland/2021/09/portland-firefighters-to-get-bulletproof-vests-as-risks-increase.html

How it feels dealing with the top echelon of failures.

We don’t need a change, we need a lot of them.

Stay strong. Next part is why.

Portland, Freedom, Bacon, ‘Murica

Happy Freedom Day. For those in the USA and then get some telescopes and wait for the fireworks. For those who are not its when we go bonkers on such things painting the clouds all sorts of colors and lights for a moment, without anyone hurt on purpose. It is a circus of the people and it has shown to be a fool’s errand to ban such things.

https://www.portland.gov/fire/your-safety/fireworks-banned-portland

Portland being dumber then a stack of stones, it has been too long since this happened. No, despite the article there are reasons to follow it. There is a massive fire hazard and then there will be a lot of problems with morons being stupid with them. That is all stuff, that actually makes sense. All the fire investigators will have a problem because there will be a lot of fires due to the homeless population still camping throughout the city of Portland. Hard to charge people with anything when they are released for everything south of murder, and you may only get a slap on the wrist for murder half the time for that.

Firework at night by U.S. Army is licensed under CC-CC0 1.0

It is something sad that people cannot enjoy the celebrations the rest of the country is having, but when you count how the city needs something positive, and how the city is doing something about it that hearing this makes me laugh. This will not be honored and coming out of the city there was more then four shops for fireworks less then four blocs from the city limit. It looks like the rest of the area had a laugh and looked at the rule in about the same light that I did. Granted, my social calendar is something where there is not celebration save for a good meal, a nice bottle of whiskey and a two liter of Coke Zero and getting to work on projects until what’s left of me passes out on my keyboard or standing up whichever happens first.

Honestly, for this one try and be safe, whether in Portland or abroad nothing ruins the day like a moron with a roman candle trying to figure out how they can make a Megaman buster out of it and burning your apartment down. Take precaution. If you are going to use fireworks, do it safely. You could go on the internet and find different events going on in the city. Portland or otherwise, there should be something to look and see what may be in your area, you may find something cool, so while it is funny and stupid to try because a city that size with that many issues there will be people who will get fireworks for the night out of spite to the people in charge. The city is getting to that point that even if they had been charged there may be times and places where trying to enforce it is more trouble then it is worth.

Happy Holidays

…..

Is there a need to say it?

Might as well at this point.

So, today’s contribution for me being the next oracle of delphi is fresh from the Oregonian. Mind you, this is the biggest paper in the region, and when I was beating the drums that we have problems back when we could have fixed it without major issue a few years ago, there had been some who had called me out for being pessimistic because the Oregonian didn’t talk about it. Go. Read the Opinion from the paper that people said they will come around when this paper does. While you do that please be aware of all the things in the past tense. The tense that things already occurred, the tense that actions have been committed.

The only reason I bring it up that I was right, was because I do not want to hear ow so many people could not have seen it.

https://www.oregonlive.com/opinion/2023/04/editorial-oregon-is-dealt-a-blow.html

Look at it all, read the article and let it echo especially if you were the kind thinking I as pessimist, because those people with high end college degrees? I was right. The city commissioners who said they know better? I was right. The people who lived in the pearl or in the expensive towers who thought they had a better grasp? I was right. People who thought measure 110 was going to happen and make the city perfect when I thought it would make it right? The only right was me, and all the others who could read to a third grade level and could see what was going on, and not be given nice words or pretty pictures when all of it is fake.

Between blog posts, less then seven days, no less then a business has shuddered a day. A day brings the death toll for a business some with thirty, forty, fifty years and all of them are now shells. Considering there are not enough to replace them means a bit of a problem. No longer helping the community, no longer making it better. Some may think I am being a bit crass, but when you are right, time and time again, and people do not listen, because I am not the only one, this is not some rocket science we are calculating on our fingers here.

I want Portland to be better, I want it to be the city I love again. However, the people who are so lost seem to put their hands up just saying an oops and then walking off like they did the right thing anyway. Well things have been a bit of a riddle, because I do not have the supplies to make any store or anywhere in Portland right now, not enough anyway to make more of a difference. Because one has to remember there is not a lot of help from the police, insurance is going to be higher, and often times one has to defend themselves, their has to be a way, but their needs to be a way to bring about ideas for business that bring back some of the safety of before.

Until the next time.

Stay Strong.
