Portland \ Oregon is like a failed state in my mind. A while back I bought a Fenix Cast Iron pan. It's from Portland Oregon- Made in America so I figured Why not.

It's expensive but I didn't mind because it's Made in America. Unfortunately it wasn't flat on the bottom and rocked. I contacted them and they said they could send me a flat one if I wanted. I thought about it and just got a refund. Even back then Portland was fucked up. I won’t knowingly buy anything from Oregon.

A warped cast iron pan, from a company that makes them domestically, was willing to make it right by getting you a new one, but because Portland, you're gonna do a hard pass?

So, you're gonna avoid all these other Oregon based companies and their products too:
Danner
Keen
LaCrosse
Colombia Sportwear
Pendleton
Dakine
Nike
Addidas
CRKT
Kershaw
Benchmade
Leatherman
Gerber
Coast
FLIR systems
Freightliner trucks
Reddaway freight
Harry & David
Leupold & Stevens
Nosler
Tilamook Dairy

Thanks for the list- Yes, all of them and easily. Nike for god sake- Never owned em never will.

Tilamook- That's cheese? You gotta be kidding.

I'm turned off by the comment they'll send you a flat if if you want? Of course that's what I want you idiot. A cast iron pan that doesn't have a flat bottom???

Good grief. What in the Hell do cast iron pans have to do with this thread? That's not even remotely related to the subject of this thread. You guys know better than to drift a thread of this nature. A mention of it is not an offense, but going on about boycotting other companies in the region, and taking exception to how the company worded their email- come on. Not another word about it.

Now, back to the thread.

A patriot forecasts his warning to the Shasta County Board of Supervisors in California. I doubt they will take heed but they can't say they weren't warned.

What an excellent name for delivering such a message.

Viva Zapata!

excellent - put the bastards on notice - they're either part of the solution or they're part of the problem

they get to chose the side, and that's an irrevocable election on their part

His comments are right on point. he is right about people growing fed up with all this nonsense and will sooner or later fight back in very unpleasant ways.

"you get paid to fall asleep in your chairs just like that gentleman right there is doing behind his mask" classic. Then of course the county board passes the buck and blames Newsom which is partially true I suppose but the push back has to start somewhere and these county board supervisors are the very people who could start that push back.

That was great!

Thats the crux that many like minded citizens are seeing, is the lack of backbone and pushback from elected civic leaders when it comes to telling the Governor to pound-sand. Shasta Co, like he points-out is largely a red county, there's a fair number of pot farmers and hippie enclaves but, its largely composed of pissed-off out of work lumberjacks, truckers and warehouseman for the Ag industry and various other small industries servicing the Northern part of the state. So, not only are we seeing community leaders within the big urban metro areas playing games with their job responsibilities but, you're starting to see small town city fathers and their little fiefdoms having their feet held to the fire by the citizenry who elected them.

Yep. It's not that we don't have the courage to say what the patriot did. It's that we are not inclined to show our cards until it's time to call. When that happens, it will drop jaws and fill the enemies of liberty and prosperity with fear.

New 30 minute video released today showing the incidents leading up to the final altercation. If you weren't disgusted before, you will be.

Longer Portland assault video released showing moments leading up to attack of truck driver

By Stephanie Pagones

Published August 19, 2020

A 30-minute video of the attack on a man in Portland late Sunday was released Wednesday, showing a large crowd taunting, beating and robbing a transgender woman before setting its sights on the truck driver and another woman.

The footage, which contains graphic images and explicit language, was released on YouTube by "Lives Matter" producer Drew Hernandez. The video appears to show a group of people, including suspect Marquise Love, 25, taunting a transgender woman who they claim was spraying Mace at them.

Over the course of several minutes, the victim, who is wearing a blue shirt with a round logo on the front, can be seen in the background amongst the crowd, until he steps in minutes later.

People from the group appear to steal the woman’s skateboard and then her backpack as she and members from the crowd continued to have words with each other.

But after someone steals her knapsack, which she says is carrying her keys, ID and cellphone, the man tries to get in between the woman and the group, prompting people to throw a bottle at him and a liquid repeatedly at her.

The woman continues pleading for her backpack when another good Samaritan, who appears to be holding a weapon, tries to break up the crowd. The man in the blue shirt briefly tries again to step in.

For several minutes, the woman and people from the crowd go back and forth with each other, again getting violent at times.

Around 18:45 minutes into the video, someone from the group yells that the woman “literally just wants us to beat her to death so that we look bad.”

The crowd continues to surround the woman, who is sitting on the sidewalk, and the man appears to get in his white truck while an engine can be heard being started. People begin to approach the vehicle as he slowly rolls forward.

As someone shouts that he “didn’t do nothin’,” a blond-haired woman is seen standing in front of the driver’s side. Someone begins punching her, prompting her to move away – when suddenly a person jumps her from behind, causing her to scream, the video shows.

People again move to the front of the truck as it starts its engine again and rolls forward before speeding away. A car can be heard repeatedly honking, though it's not clear if it's another vehicle or the truck. Minutes later, the person recording video shows the crashed white truck, with the man outside the vehicle saying he needs help.

Despite a 911 caller’s report to police that "protesters drug him out of car,” the video shows the man already outside of the vehicle. As he repeatedly says, “Help,” someone from the crowd pulls the man to the ground. He asks if he can answer a phone call and says he wasn’t trying to hurt anyone.

After someone tells the man to “shut the f--- up,” a person who appears to be Love begins punching and kicking him repeatedly as others try to pull him away. That’s when the person runs up behind the man and kicks him, causing him to lose consciousness.

When the blond woman who was seen being attacked earlier in the video begins crying as she asks why he’s bleeding, someone replies: “He wrecked his car and he got beat up because he was trying to run people over when he was saving you, OK?”

Meanwhile, other people from the group move to check on the unconscious man, while another person asks someone to call 911.

He was still unconscious when police arrived, authorities said. The man was taken to a local hospital and was later released. Police said he is home recovering.

So far, investigators have publicly only identified one person, Love, as a suspect in the attack.

Hernandez told “Fox & Friends” earlier Wednesday that it was a “traumatic” scene.

“I have seen a lot of crazy stuff, especially in Portland, but what I witnessed this particular night literally was ... a borderline execution, an attempted execution,” he said.

He added, "By the time they had him on the floor, they had already punched him, kicked him, they brought him down strategically with some pretty impressive combat moves, twice, and he was already submissive on the floor. He was almost pretty much waving the white flag ... and then they dealt that kick to the back of the head, which was completely unacceptable."

Police have not released any information regarding accusations that the man had tried to run anyone over. Authorities are still searching for Love, whom they said they have probable cause to arrest.

Anyone with information about Love or the attack is asked to call Detective Brent Christensen at 503-823-2087 or email him at Brent.Christensen@portlandoregon.gov.

Governor pushes back after Chicago mayor lays blame on Mississippi

JACKSON, Miss. —
Gov. Tate Reeves is pushing back after Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot blamed Mississippi and other states for illegal guns in her city.

Chicago has been plagued by a spike in gun violence this summer that resulted in more homicides in July than any month in decades. Lightfoot has been in the national spotlight recently after President Donald Trump criticized how the city has handled the rash of violence. Lightfoot has appeared on MSNBC a number of times, including this week.

“Sixty percent of the illegal guns that come into Chicago every year are from out of state, from Indiana, from Mississippi, from other states that have lax gun laws,” Lightfoot said.
Reeves responded Wednesday on Twitter to an article published by Y’all Politics.

"What I would say to anyone who wants to blame Mississippians, the people of Mississippi, for the increase in crime in the city of Chicago, that doesn't pass the smell test," Reeves told 16 WAPT during a briefing. "It doesn't make sense. It's just, quite frankly a conspiracy theory that just doesn't work."

In an interview earlier this month with MSNBC, Lightfoot said the guns were crossing the border into Chicago from Indiana, Wisconsin and Michigan.

Lightfoot challenged Congress to pass a universal law for background checks and called for a ban on assault weapons.

“That’s a problem that we need federal leadership on. Every mayor that I know has worked hard, and I’m not different, to bring peace to our neighborhoods. As long as we have this proliferation of illegal guns that’s pouring in from outside of our borders, we are going to continue to fight an uphill battle,” Lightfoot said.

Jackson City Council President Aaron Banks is proposing a one-year moratorium on gun shows in Jackson. During that time, Banks would like the city to investigate how and if gun vendors are conducting background checks on people who buy firearms from gun shows.
