Why can't Oregon figure out that political correctness is not just dead, it's done? Those pushing it look ridiculous, maybe even stupid. Let's talk about it.

Doctors are learning that oral hygiene is important not to your dental health but to the overall health of your entire body.
New science even says, not flossing can impact your brain health.
Dr Michael Bratland of CrisDental Eugene, gives us some hygiene tips.

The Bethel School District in Eugene is not answering a few questions I have about the "Rainbow Club" and other similar clubs. I'm getting these questions from insiders, and so tonight we'll just ask them publicly to see where that goes.
That and more.

Portland, Stand Up For Yourself, Please

I was born and raised in the Portland area.
It used to be beautiful, but the decay that started with “Keep Portland Weird” has turned into just stupid.
Portland is a joke to much of the nation.
Once recognized for its scenery, food, and location, it is now famous for riots, ignorance, wokeness, and a place business does not want to be located.

The past governor was the least popular in the country.
The current is at number 48.
Their education numbers don’t add up.
They spend more per student than most places and rank at about number 48, depending on which study you look at.

The current governor and her Democrat legislature pushed a 4.3 billion dollar tax on the citizens of the state, and Oregonians got pi**ed.
She dragged her feet, signing the “emergency measure” in a show of “democracy” to try to stop citizens from voting on the plan.
In just two weeks, Oregonians came out of the woodwork to get twice the number of signatures needed to put the plan on the ballot.
And they are still collecting tens of thousands of signatures.

Now she’s picking a fight with the President, threatening to arrest federal agents who try to abide by immigration laws.
Tiny Tina needs a quick education in how things work.
This lawless governor professes the “No Kings” movement but seems to have no problem with her role as the self-proclaimed queen of Oregon.

I see Portland has slipped off the face of the planet again, this time by allowing a holiday tree celebration to turn into a radical pro-Islam celebration.
People are mad.
If they don’t want to call the tree a “Christmas Tree,” that’s not the end of the world.
I’m not sure a “tree” is really symbolic of the birth of Jesus Christ.
But do you have to take a celebration that means a lot to Christians and turn it away from Christ and towards Islam?
That’s not just unkind and arrogant, it’s stupid.

The good news in all of this is, as the nuts did with COVID and their left-wing ideology, they’re pushing too far.
People are full.
It’s like eating too much and then being force-fed more of their garbage.
The barfing is beginning.

The problem is, has Oregon reached bottom?
Unfortunately, I doubt it.
Next Fall, will voters see the error of their ways and stop voting for what sounds “weird” and discover common sense?
It will all depend on how this jumbled mess impacts their pocketbook.
The frustration, at some point, will force eyes wide open.
Hopefully, by that time it won’t be too late.

By Taxpayers Association of Oregon OregonWatchdog.com Both Fox News, New York Post and others mentioned Portland's Tree-Lighting celebration at Pioneer Courthouse Square this weekend. The word Christmas was never mentioned. If the Christmas tree was referenced, it was called "the tree". One

Lots of things are going on in the world. We don't have a guest tonight, so why don't you just ask me some questions?

That’s Not My Burden

How often do we pick up burdens that do not belong to us?
I read a story in a book called “Streams In The Desert” that I will paraphrase for you that explains my thought.
A woman had a dream that she and others around her were walking the streets, sad, burdened, and tired.
These little demons were walking ahead of them, dropping little black bundles for them to pick up.
And pick up they did, because it seemed the right thing to do.

Another man was walking amongst them, comforting people.
He told the woman, These are not your burdens, do not entertain them or touch them, let them be.
These are the devil’s burdens, and they are weighing you down.
When she made that decision and refused to take on the burdens offered to her, her life was filled with peace.

Doesn’t that sound good right now?
Our minds are powerful tools for both good and evil.
The enemy of our souls knows exactly how to ensnare us in a trap by distracting us with burdens we have no business touching.

We each have a choice.
We’ve seen what happens when people, out of ease and fear of questioning, pick up the burdens that do not belong to them.
A friend once told me, “If something robs you of your peace, don’t do it.”
That doesn’t mean we don’t do uncomfortable things.
It doesn’t mean we stand on the sidelines and watch others do all the work.
It simply means, understand which burdens are given to us by our maker and which are given to us by a world intent on ripping us apart.
The only way to do that is to nuzzle up to God each day so He can point out the distractions.

We’re here to keep local stories alive. We believe Oregon’s real stories deserve to be told — without filters, sponsors, or spin. Together, we’re building something that puts truth and community back at the center of storytelling. When we join the Get Real Patrons Club, we’re not just subs...

We The People Are Fed Up

Sitting in a little bar, waiting for our pizza to cook, I stare outside at snow piling up on the streets, and think about the world we live in.
Red Lodge, Montana, is about as far away from politics as one can be.
Republicans, Democrats, Independents, and non-affiliated voters are fed up.
We are not hardline party players, but get forced into boxes by folks who wish to discredit us for simply wanting the leaders in our country to put Americans first.

We are tired of our hardworking tax dollars being given to other countries to bribe, hold up, protect, or whatever you want to call it.
Let them deal with their issues while we spend our money solving the problems in our country.
Call it what you want, Nationalism, America First, we don’t care, just do it.
We are sick of people coming to OUR country and asking us to change rather than them, doing what we do when we move to a new state or visit a foreign country, which is to assimilate.

We are not racists or homophobes or any of the other phobes opponents try to paint us into being.
Your terms mean nothing because you’ve lied about them so much that we don’t care.
We are Americans who love our country and want our kids to be taken care of before we go giving money towards projects around the world that are little more than a political bribe.
Our young men and women are not able to buy a home until age 40, that’s the average now, and they are mad as hell.
The American ideal is that we leave our kids in a better America than we had; we are failing.

We have a hopeless generation.
Think about that!
They are the first generation that will do worse than the previous, and yet, we keep throwing tax dollars at regimes around the world rather than finding ways to use that money to make homeowners out of our kids.
Shame on us.

What some fail to understand is that America is ready for a revolution.
Not some socialist takeover, although we’d better pay attention because the liars pushing that message will gain traction if we don’t find a way to answer with truth.
When you and I grew up, we had hard times, but we knew if we held on, better times would follow.
That’s not a guarantee anymore.
It’s not even likely.

Yet here are trillions of tax dollars, coming from you and me, that are being wasted overseas and right here in our home states on failed ideologies, war mongers, and politicians trying to leave a legacy to their bronze bust, rather than to our kids’ futures.

We the People are waking up.
We will not let the opponents of America bury our ideas or smother our cries for change any longer.
If you come here, do it legally.
If you stay, assimilate.
To our leaders, we are watching you.
It’s our money, and you work for us, act like it.
And for those who try to silence us with manipulation and name-calling, shut up.
Your plans are unraveling.
You know it, and so do we.
We The People are Fed Up.

The World Is So Out Of Touch

Kathy and I don’t watch television very much.
Our son Jess is with us, and he does.
He clicked on the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, and our eyes were opened.

As a guy who used to be on television, I was a bit embarrassed.
I think in many ways, I looked as phony as they looked on the broadcast.
Phony and so out of touch with where Americans are today.

I remember when the parade was simply that, a parade.
Now it’s a production of Broadway shows and promotion for the new lineup of NBC, the network televising the parade.
From a log house in Montana, we watched, and I couldn’t help but wonder who relates to this stuff?
The fancy fingernails, fake eyelashes, men with sixpacks selling ED medication, and trainers just waiting to give you the information needed to look like the guy in the picture with the perfect life.

I think about ranchers, farmers, and a young woman working at the bar in Lyons, Oregon. Is this what they care about?
It’s a plastic representation of the world that only exists in the hearts and minds of marketers.

The blown-out-of-proportion success stories that seem too good to be true fall flat on an audience that has real problems just putting food on the table and paying the rent.

A major cultural shift is underway in America.
People are looking for the truth.
They don’t want pretty stories to make them feel good; they want reality.

The plastic make-believe world is everywhere.
But so is the rejection of it.
It’s not something to be angry about.
Awareness is the beginning of change.

With Christmas just around the corner, the temptation to “buy” happiness is over the top.
Perhaps, instead of buying a gift, give that special person in your life an experience - something they will never forget.
Buy memories, not more stuff.
The world is so out of touch with where you and I are right now.
But we don’t have to be.
