“City Council members in Portland, Oregon, have voted to allocate $27 million of the city’s budget to build a network of designated camping areas for homeless people, approving a fiercely disputed budget measure as the city tries to address its homelessness crisis.”
WTF?
Also, WTF, Seattle?
“”We must end self-directed, unsanctioned camping in the city of Portland,” he said. “We deal with mental health issues. We deal with substance abuse issues. We deal with human feces. We deal with naked people running down the street, people who are unable to even acknowledge who or where they are, because their afflictions are that serious. It is beneath us as a moral and ethical society to have that happening in our community. And therefore we need to do something differently.”
So sanctioning where they camp will change those things?
“Fine, you get a camp on your front lawn.”
LOL
We are from the govt and we are going to help you.
27M to replace the encampments the homeless found for free?. Seems like the wrong people are on the City Council.
Left alone, all of Portland will be abandoned and the homeless will no longer be homeless.
It is an article of faith among the true believers in leftism that economics doesn’t work. That this will not attract more hobos, but will relieve the problem.
Leftism is a false religion.

Wow… just wow…
Perhaps he can point us to the investigations he referenced.
The project offers overwhelming evidence that Twitter’s current management is using the platform to promote tendentious, partisan narratives and conservative misinformation….
whyfor are badthinkers allowed?
The $27 million will help launch the first three campsites, with nearly half going toward their operational costs for the remainder of the fiscal year. About $4 million of it will be directed to the sites’ preparation and construction.
Cheapskates.
Half for operational costs…for the rest of the fiscal year. That’s some good fucking graft right there.
whaddup doh’
yo whats goody yo
TALL SABBATH CANS
Public opposition to the measure and the money that will fund it has been heated, with critics saying it will criminalize homelessness and fail to address its root causes.
No one was ever homeless before kkkapitalism was invented.
End kkkapitalism now!
All the land was our home, MAN — before we were forced to rape the Earth with our like, plows we roamed free and frolicked! You just want to enforce your white cis-hetereo-kkkapitalistic “food doesn’t grow on trees” worldview on us, MAN… I mean, like… have you see an orchard? I rest my case, kkkapitalist thug!
Gamboled. No frolic, just gambol.

Homeless advocates say that more affordable housing is needed to truly tackle the issue. While mental health treatment services are essential, they point out that not all homeless people have mental health or substance abuse issues.
They’re just trying to find themselves.
not all homeless people have mental health or substance abuse issues.
Somehow, that percentage of the homeless population is never qualified. In my informal surveys over the years I’d guess that’s as high as 0.5 percent.
*quantified
The most common time spent homeless is one night. The second most common time is two nights. What that means is that people quickly find out how shitty it is, and find a place with family of friends. Those that don’t are people who have burned through those resources.
The reason? Mental health and substance abuse.
I’ve got a nephew right now who’s homeless (well, kind of, he’s actually in jail at the moment) . He bounced through everyone in his network of family and friends leaving a wake of theft and fraud in trail. His decision is very much his own as everyone has done what they thought they could to help, only to get conned one way or another in the process, which seems to be the only lessons he’s taken from multiple stays in treatment. The real problem is the left continues to enable this problem by making homelessness a viable option. Most of these motherfuckers would clean up their act if they actually had to miss a couple of meals.
Sounds like my wife’s niece, got a little vacation right now, courtesy of the tax payers. She does have a serious problem from the ears up but still has been able to eat/sleep for many years. She is good at camping but refuses treatment. No drug/alcohol problem but pays attention to the voices.
Maybe stop advocating for policies that inhibit the building of affordable housing. Just a thought.
As has been said here more than once — allowing flophouses again would help a lot of this crap. But nooooo…..
City councilmembers approved a budget proposal by Mayor Bruce Harrell to expand the Unified Care Team, authorizing more than $38 million in 2023 take the current citywide approach and transform it into several geographic-based teams. That same money would also continue to fund the Clean City Initiative.

What kind of fucking apology is that?
“Virginia mom says social workers threatened to put her three young children in FOSTER CARE if she lets them play outside alone after son, 4, kicked soccer ball near neighbor’s cat
Emily Fields claims she’s being accused of neglecting her children after her four-year-old son kicked a soccer ball towards a neighbor’s cat.
Fields, who lives in Pearisburg, Virginia, says she became a target of social workers who urged her to sign a form disallowing her kids – a boy now 6 and two daughters aged 8 and 9 – from playing outside without constant supervision.
In May 2021 her son, four at the time, kicked a football across the road in the direction of a neighbor’s cat, but did not hit it, she says.
When Fields took the boy across the road to apologize, the neighbors were incensed and told her that they would call the CPS everyday until her children were taken from her.”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11524019/Virginia-mom-wont-let-kids-play-outside-fear-CPS-away.html
This shit is way out of hand.
Put pictures of the neighbors on the web. Let them reap their just rewards.
Reason had that story too (from Skenazy is it?). That isn’t some suburban Democratic enclave – that’s way the hell out in the sticks.
Yeah, the article links to Skenazy.
Ten bucks says it’s white trash neighbors. Probably collecting welfare, food stamps, and generally working the system. I unfortunately know the type.
The article doesn’t name the snitching neighbors.
Or the CPS workers.
JFC, the neighbors managed to be bigger assholes than CPS.
No wonder shipping containers are so expensive
A makeshift new barrier built with shipping containers is being illegally erected along part of the US-Mexico border by Arizona’s Republican governor – before he has to hand over the keys of his office to his Democratic successor in January.
Doug Ducey is driving a project that is placing double-stacked old shipping containers through several miles of national forest, attempting to fill gaps in Donald Trump’s intermittent border fencing.
The rusting hulks, topped with razor wire and with bits of metal jammed into gaps, stretch for more than three miles through Coronado national forest land, south of Tucson, and the governor has announced plans to extend that up to 10 miles, at a cost of $95m (£78m).
Kill two birds with one stone and let homeless people live in them.
The Democrats can’t swoop in fast enough to tear down that wall and let the human trafficking continue apace.
Emily Burns, program director for Sky Island Alliance, a binational conservation nonprofit that tracks wildlife in the Coronado national forest said: “There was no environmental review or planning or mitigation that was done.”
The Center for Biological Diversity was allowed to join the federal government as a defendant in Ducey’s lawsuit and has slammed the barrier as damaging and a political stunt.
Meanwhile, Burns noted that her organization has 70 wildlife cameras in this stretch of border and they rarely see migrants crossing there.
No environmental impact studies? Oh, horror.
We’re living in a clown melodrama..
“The Center for Biological Diversity was allowed to join the federal government as a defendant in Ducey’s lawsuit”
Standing for me, but not for thee?
Five bucks says the CFBD is directly funded by the feds.
One does suspect that the traffic of thousands of illegals through a national forest has an environmental impact of its own.
Leave no trace
Same as Moscow, Idaho
Unpossible!
From Juris’ link, above:
In company email exchanges obtained by Taibbi, Twitter safety chief Yoel Roth and Deputy General Counsel Jim Baker explained that they had chosen to mark tweets linking to the Post story as “unsafe” on the grounds that such tweets disseminated “hacked materials,” a violation of Twitter’s terms of service. Both Roth and Baker acknowledged that they did not actually know that the Post’s piece was based on hacked materials. “Given the SEVERE risks here and lessons of 2016,” however, Roth explained, “we’re erring on the side of including a warning and preventing the content from being amplified.”
“The lessons of 2016” by which we mean the Russians hacked the electoral process and put Donald Trump in the White House! We cannot allow a repeat of that wxistential threat to DEMOCRACY!
President Cartoon Villain must be evicted from the Oval Office by any means available.
Remember how a news story came out in October of 2016 that was damaging to Hillary’s campaign, and then she lost? A pox on you, James Comey! We learned our lesson from that, and so now we must act.
So maybe Obama’s claims of learning what his administration was actually doing from reading WaPo wasn’t as far-fetched as we thought it was. This being Trump’s own administration that was undermining his campaign; sort of the Hatch Act, in reverse.
$180K per person, huh? Why the fuck not make it an even $200K and just cut checks?
That’s the real money shot. If you take the total expenditure and divide by ALL the homeless in Portland, it’s a few grand per person – which is probably a bargain.
But this outlay only covers a handful of people.
It covers a few well-connected NGOs. The homeless will get shit.
What? And actually give money to the homeless and not the deserving, selfless bureaucrats?
Yeah, I’m new to this whole corruption thing.
The crunchy center:
after all, there was exponentially more evidence that Donald Trump had used public power to advance his family’s private business interests than evidence that Biden had done so
The barefaced audacity of the upstart Trump; retaining an ownership interest in private businesses was nothing less than a defilement of the office of the Presidency, and a slap in the face of good men like Joe Biden, who devoted their very lives to selfless pursuit of the Public Good.
Somebody doesn’t know what “exponentially” means.
It’s all a matter of which end of the telescope you are looking through.
Why the fuck not make it an even $200K and just cut checks?
You can’t rent a decent apartment for that paltry sum. You’d have nothing left to live on.

This is really ugly.
Those links you posted should be read by everyone and, yeah, not pretty at all. The idea that there’s a cabal of elite pedos is just a conspiracy theory should have gone out the window with Epstein. Sure, he was more of a teen chaser, bad enough no doubt, but it looks like many have younger preferences. Much younger in some cases.
In places where there is no accountability, you can guarantee that there are some sick sons of bitches.
Check out Whitney Webb. She’s written extensively on the history of Epstein and it’s really fucking ugly. He did not come out of nowhere, he was developed as a blackmail tool in a tradition that goes back to WW2 when the Feds struck deals with the mob to monitor the docks. It was all downhill from there.
What I got out of it was that the DNC and the intelligence agencies are the mob. They’re functionally indistinguishable except for the veneer of respectability that the government gives. The GOP is just along for the ride.
What’s his name, Cooper?, gave a good background on Epstein and Maxwell on those podcasts you linked. They were without a doubt intelligence linked and milking people for blackmail money.
Whoops, I think Tundra linked them.

Meanwhile, in Peru
Now with Castillo in custody and the country being led by his former vice president, Dina Boluarte, it remains to be seen if she, too, will be subjected to the same discrimination.
Boluarte, a lawyer who worked in the state agency that hands out identity documents before becoming vice president, is not part of Peru’s political elite either. She was raised in an impoverished town in the Andes, speaks one of the country’s Indigenous languages, Quechua, and, a leftist like Castillo, promised to “fight for the nobodies.”
The Organization of American States, in a report published last week, noted that in Peru “there are sectors that promote racism and discrimination and do not accept that a person from outside traditional political circles occupy the presidential chair.”
Shocking. What a backward society.
Somebody doesn’t know what “exponentially” means.
But it sounds all sciencey and shit.

Common sense, people!
Germany plans to tighten its gun laws in the wake of a suspected plot by a far-right group to violently overthrow the government and install a minor royal as national leader, its interior minister said in an interview published on Sunday.
German police last week arrested 25 people suspected of involvement in the plot, which has shocked many in one of Europe’s most stable democracies. Many of the suspects were members of the far-right “Reichsbuerger” (Citizens of the Reich) movement that denies the existence of the modern German state, according to prosecutors.
——-
“These are not harmless crazy people but suspected terrorists who are now sitting in pre-trial detention,” Faeser was quoted as saying.
Prosecutors have said the suspects included individuals with weapons and knowledge of how to use them. They had attempted to recruit current and former army members and had stockpiled weapons.
“We need all authorities to exert maximum pressure” to remove their weapons, Faeser was quoted as saying, which was why the government would “shortly further tighten gun laws”.
Prior to the raids, authorities had already confiscated weapons from more than 1,000 Reichsbuerger members. However, at least another 500 are still believed to hold gun licenses in a country where the private possession of firearms is rare.
One privately owned firearm is too many.
It doesn’t matter if people disapprove of how you’re running the place, if they’re powerless to do anything about it.
Not to worry, I’d imagine the weapons pipeline to the Ukraine will leak to the Germans who want them along with every other nation on the continent.
Yeah, funny how Bader-Meinhof gang never ran short of weapons.
“In 2016, the AAP established a committee on “LGBT Health & Wellness” to support “children with variations in gender presentation.” Four of the committee’s six members—Jason Rafferty, Brittany Allen, Michelle Forcier, and Ilana Sherer—work in pediatric gender clinics that prescribe puberty blockers to patients as young as 10 and cross-sex hormones to patients as young as 14…
“There was clearly no fact-checking,” one longtime AAP member said. “The AAP thought trans was the next civil rights crusade and got boondoggled by enthusiastic young doctors.”
The contrast points to a broader tension within AAP guidance: On most kitchen table issues, from diet to screen time to exercise, the group has long encouraged a kind of safetyism, stressing the need for parental supervision and the pitfalls of pubescent judgment. Yet on trans issues, it has done nearly the opposite, suggesting that minors are mature enough to transition without their parents’ knowledge or consent….
By 2019, Rafferty’s guidance was eliciting quiet concern among rank-and-file doctors affiliated with the AAP. “Normie pediatricians were like, ‘what’s going on,’” one doctor said, recalling the hushed conversations she had in the hallways of the AAP’s 2019 national conference, which featured a panel on gender-affirming care. Gender specialists, on the other hand, “considered themselves life-saving heroes.”
Rather than promoting dialogue or compromise between the two camps, the AAP sought to stifle dissent. In October, it urged the Department of Justice to investigate critics of “gender affirming” care, arguing they were spreading “disinformation” that puts lives at risk.”
https://www.thefp.com/p/the-hijacking-of-pediatric-medicine
tl;dr: The AAP is run by unscientific political hacks.
Horseshit. They’re a skinsuited organization that is wholly on board with the political, postmodern insanity.
I think you might have read that wrong. The article is all about how they’re a skinsuited organization that is wholly on board with the political, postmodern insanity — using covid and transgender policy as its two main examples.
I was just responding to that quote out of the context of the broader article.
Yeah, and not getting “on board” means risking your career.
More agency (I know, I know, a private professional organization but the point stands) capture by self-interested twats who’d sell their own mothers for a buck? Say it ain’t so.
If only it were simple greed; this is far worse – these are true believers.
That’s true but their beliefs do often line up with what fills their pockets. Very convenient that and certainly a motivator for some even if it’s not recognized.
That their beliefs bring them profits only underscores how right those beliefs are!
I was going to say, 2016 was pretty early to be jumping onto this one. That was right at the start, I suppose, of the insanity.
They push policies that infantilize and remove agency from children/teens in almost every other context besides the one that seeks to confuse and destroy individual identity even further is how I’d see it.
Activism first, health is a distant second.
I cannot emphasize enough how I loathe them and their like.
That’s a good point, they’re for restrictions on just about everything for teens except when it comes to hormone blockers, amputation of genitalia, and voting. If I’m wrong and ten years from now this push isn’t viewed kind of like lobotomies are viewed now the western world is just done.

$27 million. I feel like I went into the wrong business.

That same money would also continue to fund the Clean City Initiative.
$38 million. Yeah. Definitely in the wrong business.
That money is going to go to non-profits. Obviously, no one involved is making any money off it. It’s right in their name.
Hobgoblins
Fear has powered the growth of conspiracy theories and fringe movements through the course of the still-unfolding pandemic, too. Across the Western world, counter-terrorism expert Teun van Dongen writes, far-Right groups have mobilised around the idea that they are fighting a war against an élite conspiracy to impose totalitarian social control.
The war in Ukraine, many European counter-terrorism experts also fear, could lead to easier access to weapons and military training for far-Right networks. Nazi groups, with links across Europe, are reported to be fighting alongside Russia in Ukraine. “I’m a nationalist, a patriot, an imperialist,” one Right-wing fighter proclaimed online, “I’ll say it outright: I’m a Nazi.”
Europe’s democracies aren’t new to these threats. Frustrated by General Charles de Gaulle’s Algeria policies, hawkish generals attempted to depose his government in 1961. Fascists in Italy sought to overthrow the regime in 1970. Former military ruler Francisco Franco’s supporters sought to seize control of Spain’s parliament in 1981. Europe proved resilient—but with polities more divided ideologically than ever before, the same outcome isn’t guaranteed.
From 9/11 on, western scholars have examined the dangers posed to the global system by failed States — countries imploding under the weight of doddering leaders and decrepit economies. Flailing post-colonial dystopias, the putsch makes clear, aren’t the only polities at risk. Armed white-nationalist groups in the United States are gaining strength. Former French military commanders are warning of race wars involving “the hordes of the banlieue,” the immigrant-dominated suburbs.
Across the West, democracies are finding themselves besieged—from within.
Bizarre delusions of oppression. They’re just trying to help.
He also points out the inexplicable tendency of some East Germans to embrace right wing notions. How could do such a thing?
I guess we’re supposed to forget about the Nazis fighting alongside President Z.
The Azov Nazis are the good guy Nazis which works out well as they’re formally incorporated into Ukraine’s armed forces. The Putin claim of deNazification is largely BS but it is based on a kernel of truth.
Can’t imagine how at the bare minimum the last couple of years of COVID, “disinformation”, no-knock yet CNN filmed SWAT raids on political enemies, the J6 imprisoned, etc. could possibly give anyone the idea that the elites are attempting to impose totalitarian social control where they can.
Nope… nosireebob… nothing to see here!
I know, lets shut off their power! That will keep the righties in line with what is good, they won’t want to do anything untoward when they are shivering.
It isn’t a conspiracy theory when you are as open about as was Mein Kampf.
