PORTLAND, Ore. — The future of an Oregon bill that would roll back the state’s first-in-the-nation drug decriminalization law is now in the hands of Democratic Gov. Tina Kotek. The bill – which would make the possession of small amounts of drugs a crime once more – has not yet reached Kotek’s desk, but she […]
I’m not trying to get anyone’s hopes up here too much, but it’s just possible that we are witnessing a turning of the tide in terms of the progressive fads and policies that have been sweeping the nation over the past couple of decades. First, we saw the “defund the police” movement turn into a […]

The reason can’t be imagined away. In 2020, Oregon passed the most liberal drug decriminalization law in U.S. history. It […]
Another day, another uber-blue state shocked – SHOCKED, I tell you – by the audacity of the federal government (whom they normally can’t get enough of) coming onto their home turf and upsetting all their carefully laid plans. Five days ago, I was writing about California, and the folks who live around Morro Bay realizing […]
Some colleges and universities in the United States have been struggling with student performance, particularly since they began spending more time protesting Israel or the police than on the classes they signed up for. And the DEI push concerning who does or doesn’t get admitted isn’t helping either. But no school wants to go public […]
Federal prosecutors in Oregon said four affiliates of a Mexican crime syndicate were charged Thursday with trafficking over one metric ton of liquid heroin in a moving truck.
