/5 Comments/in , /by

By Randy DeSoto. The 20-year-old shooter responsible for taking the lives of 13 people on an Oregon college campus Thursday morning gave a cryptic warning online the night before.

The Sun reports that in a thread found on the online bulletin board 4CHan, the male killer told students not to go to the Umpqua Community College campus.

He wrote in the post: “Some of you guys are alright. don’t go into school tomorrow if you are in the northwest. Happening thread will be posted tomorrow morning. So long space robots.”

The gunman added another post to the site promising that “normies will pay for their misdeeds.” (Read more from “Revealed: The Chilling Message the Oregon Shooter Who Supposedly Singled Out Christians, Reportedly Posted Online Before the Attack” HERE)

Oregon Gunman Singled out Christians During Rampage

By Chris Perez. The gunman who opened fire at an Oregon community college was forcing people to stand up and state their religion before he began blasting away at them, survivors said Thursday.

A woman who claimed to have a grandmother inside a writing class in Snyder Hall, where a portion the massacre unfolded, described the scene in a tweet.

“The shooter was lining people up and asking if they were Christian,” she wrote. “If they said yes, then they were shot in the head. If they said no, or didn’t answer, they were shot in the legs. My grandma just got to my house, and she was in the room. She wasn’t shot, but she is very upset.

Hannah Miles, another Umpqua student, was also sitting in a class room next door and said she initially heard a pop that sounded like a yardstick slapping on a chalkboard when the shooting broke out.

She said that when her class heard the noise again, her teacher went to see if everything was all right. Minutes later, shots rang out repeatedly and they all fled, leaving their belongings behind. (Read more from “Oregon Gunman Singled out Christians During Rampage” HERE)

Oregon House Passes Bill to Charge Teen’s Abortion to Parents’ Insurance Without Them Knowing

/1 Comment/in , /by

Oregon_state_sealA new pro-abortion bill in Oregon has pro-life advocates up in arms and urging pro-life Oregonians to contact their members of the state legislature. And the state House today approved the measure.

Oregon House Democrats voted to further erode parents’ rights in Oregon by passing House Bill 2758, which would allow an enrollee on a health insurance plan to demand that the explanation of benefits not be sent to the primary holder of the insurance policy. This would allow a 15 year old child to obtain an abortion without her parents’ knowledge even though it is paid for by her parents’ insurance policy.

“Involvement in their child’s life is the most important tool parents have to protect their children from abuse,” said Gayle Atteberry, Executive Director of Oregon Right to Life. “But the abortion giant Planned Parenthood has managed to get every Democrat in the House to help them do secret abortions paid for by unknowing parents, endangering children in Oregon.”

Every Republican member of the State House of Representatives opposed HB 2758, citing some of the unintended consequences of the bill. Representative Cedric Hayden carried a minority report for the Republican Caucus.

Governor John Kitzhaber Announces His Resignation

/5 Comments/in , /by

Photo Credit: Oregon LiveBy Beth Nakamura. Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber resigned effective Wednesday, Feb. 18, in a letter submitted to Secretary of State Kate Brown.

“I am announcing today that I will resign as Governor of the State of Oregon,” he wrote in a statement released just after noon Friday . . .

In just four months, a public corruption scandal involving Kitzhaber and his fiancee, Cylvia Hayes, has hobbled one of Oregon’s most durable politicians. Kitzhaber, a public official for 37 years, was sworn in for a historic fourth term as governor just a month ago. Facing not only a state criminal investigation and an ethics review, Kitzhaber watched his support from fellow veteran lawmakers crumble this week.

The governor’s resignation does not end either the criminal investigation or ethics review. (Read more about Governor John Kitzhaber announcing his resignation HERE)

Oregon Governor Agrees to Resign but Says He “Broke No Laws”

By Jonathan J. Cooper. Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber resigned Friday, giving in to mounting pressure to abandon his office amid suspicions that his fiancee used her relationship with him to land contracts for her green-energy consulting business.

In a lengthy statement, the state’s longest-serving chief executive insisted he broke no laws. He said the resignation would be effective Wednesday.

“Nonetheless, I understand that I have become a liability to the very institutions and policies to which I have dedicated my career and, indeed, my entire adult life,” he said.

The decision capped a wild week in which Kitzhaber seemed poised to step down, then changed his mind, but ultimately bowed to calls from legislative leaders that he quit the state’s top elected position.

The announcement is a stunning fall from grace for a politician who left the governor’s office in 2003 and then mounted a comeback in 2010 and won back his old job. (Read more from this story HERE)

Democratic Leaders Abandon Oregon Governor

By Hannah Hoffman. Kitzhaber is under criminal investigation by Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum’s office for the role his fiancee, Cylvia Hayes, has held in his office and whether she used that role to obtain private consulting work.

He appears to be the first Oregon governor to face an AG investigation. He is also under review by the Oregon Government Ethics Commission, although it is on hold until Rosenblum completes her work.

Calls for his resignation have mounted as new allegations against him and Hayes have come to light.

Democratic leaders officially asked Kitzhaber to step down on Thursday. They originally thought he planned to do it Wednesday, but he apparently changed his mind that afternoon. (Read more from this story HERE)
