There Goes the ‘Hood: Rampant Homeless Population Driving Residents Out of Woke City

/0 Comments/in , , /by

North Portland’s rampant homeless problem has residents fleeing the city, according to a report.

Real-estate broker Lauren Iaquinta told KGW8 that she’s seen an uptick in residents packing up and heading to the suburbs because of a homeless camp in the neighborhood’s Peninsula Crossing Trail.

“You can be driving through North Portland and you’re in this lovely area where there’s no issues, and then you can make a turn around the corner and have homeless camps there,” she said. “It’s kind of sad. I’ve been doing this for 10 years here in Portland and it’s changed quite a bit.”

Iaquinta said she now has to vet areas when selling homes because clients don’t want to live near homeless people. She did not cite any data about people moving because of the homeless encampment.

“Most people don’t want to have to worry about if they can leave their car parked in their driveway overnight without maybe having it broken into,” she said. “It’s a pretty testy subject.” (Read more from “There Goes the ‘Hood: Rampant Homeless Population Driving Residents Out of Woke City” HERE)

1st Poll Post Mar-A-Lago Raid Shows Republicans Have Overtaken Democrats

/0 Comments/in , /by

In the first poll since the unprecedented Mar-a-Lago raid, Emerson College Polling showed that J.D. Vance, the Trump-backed Republican nominee for Ohio’s open U.S. Senate seat, and Republicans had overtaken Democrats in the Buckeye State.

Vance leads Ryan by three points in the most recent Emerson College poll. The poll found that 45 percent of the 925 general election voters would vote for Vance over the 42 percent who would vote for Ryan. There were also four percent who said someone else, and ten percent were undecided.

In fact, when the voters were asked, “regardless of whom they support, which candidate they expect to win,” a majority of the respondents (52 percent) said Vance would win, compared to the 48 percent who said Ryan.

Executive Director of Emerson College polling Spencer Kimball said:

Both Vance and Ryan have strong bases of support, and the race tightens to a one-point lead for Vance among the very motivated and very likely voters in Ohio. Whereas Vance leads by a larger margin among somewhat likely and somewhat motivated voters.

Ex-CIA Chief Rates Today’s Republicans as Most ‘Dangerous’ Political Force in History

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former CIA Director Michael Hayden endorsed the assessment that Republicans today are the most “dangerous” political force in history.

Edward Luce, the U.S. national editor and columnist at the Financial Times, got the ball rolling Wednesday in a Twitter exchange that comes at a time when the Republican Party has largely rallied behind former President Donald Trump.

“I’ve covered extremism and violent ideologies around the world over my career. Have never come across a political force more nihilistic, dangerous & contemptible than today’s Republicans. Nothing close,” Luce said.

Hayden quote tweeted the observation, writing, “I agree. And I was the CIA Director.”

Have an iPhone? Millions of Users Warned to Change Settings Now

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Apple released an emergency security update Thursday, disclosing that there were vulnerabilities for certain iPhone, iPad and Mac products.

These vulnerabilities were disclosed in a software update, which the company said should safeguard the products.

The first issue involved the potential for an application to execute arbitrary code with “kernel privileges,” which refers to a discrete right to perform an operation.

The second issue, according to Apple, was in WebKit, which is a layout engine designed to allow web browsers to render web pages.

Apple said it was “aware of a report that this issue may have been actively exploited.” The issue could allow a potential attacker to take complete control of these devices. (Read more from “Have an iPhone? Millions of Users Warned to Change Settings Now” HERE)

Facebook Keeping Trump Ban in Place for Midterm Elections

/0 Comments/in , /by

Facebook is keeping its ban on former President Donald Trump in place for the 2022 midterm elections, saying January is the earliest the social media company would allow his return.

Mr. Trump was barred from Facebook and Instagram, which both operate as part of the Meta company, following the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol. The company later extended the restrictions on his account.

Meta president Nick Clegg told Politico his company would maintain the timeline for revisiting the ban in January rather than lift it before the November elections.

In June 2021, Mr. Clegg said Meta was enacting a two-year ban retroactive from Jan. 7 against Mr. Trump’s accounts, which marked January 2023 as the earliest the former president may regain access.

Mr. Trump has not waited for the social media company to permit his return but formed his own social platform Truth Social. (Read more from “Facebook Keeping Trump Ban in Place for Midterm Elections” HERE)

Is Mike Pence Taking the FBI’s Side Over Trump’s?

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former Vice President Mike Pence called out members of the Republican Party for going after the FBI following the raid of former President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence.

Criticizing his own party, Pence told the GOP to stop attacking rank-and-file FBI personnel.

“I also want to remind my fellow Republicans we can hold the attorney general accountable for the decision that he made without attacking the rank-and-file law enforcement personnel at the FBI,” Pence said during a speech in New Hampshire.

Pence, who has publicly spoken against Trump, is taking yet another aim at his former partner by seemingly taking the FBI’s side.

“It is fairly well-known that President Trump and I had our differences… Our party stands with the men and women who stand on the thin blue line at the federal, state, and local levels. These attacks on the FBI must stop,” Pence continued to say. (Read more from “Is Mike Pence Taking the FBI’s Side Over Trump’s?” HERE)

Woke State Gets Blasted for Condoning Life-Altering Sex Surgery for Minors

/0 Comments/in , /by

Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) is condemning health care establishments for normalizing sex change surgery for minors, calling it “dangerous.”

During an interview, DeSantis claimed that “gender-affirming care is a euphemism for disfiguring kids,” pointing out how absurd it is to push the left’s woke gender ideology on children.

“At the end of the day, if you look what’s happening in our society, you see institutions being infected with ideology at the expense of facts and reality,” DeSantis said, adding that “experts” who push radical ideologies of promoting sex change on minors are going down a very dangerous road.

“We’re fighting this thing with the medical board because they want to do sex change operations for minors. … A 14-year-old cannot get a tattoo, but somehow …. they will do mastectomies, they will do stuff at the bottom which is very, very problematic and irreversible,” DeSantis said.

The Florida governor announced that he and his administration will focus on not recruiting teachers who have been “taken over by ideology” but educators who share the same values as DeSantis. (Read more from “Woke State Gets Blasted for Condoning Life-Altering Sex Surgery for Minors” HERE)

CDC to Be Overhauled After Scathing Admission About COVID Response

/0 Comments/in , /by

The director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Wednesday announced a “reset” that will focus on making the organization quicker at responding to new health threats amid criticism of its response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The CDC’s director, Dr. Rochelle Walensky, told the agency’s staff about the changes, which include internal staffing moves and steps to speed up data releases.

“For 75 years, CDC and public health have been preparing for COVID-19, and in our big moment, our performance did not reliably meet expectations,” she said in a statement obtained by The Washington Post. “My goal is a new, public health action-oriented culture at CDC that emphasizes accountability, collaboration, communication, and timeliness.”

The changes are a CDC initiative and were not directed by the White House or other administration officials, Walensky said. (Read more from “CDC to Be Overhauled After Scathing Admission About COVID Response” HERE)
