I guess I got out of the habit of making these things. Anyway, thanks to Washington being one of the West Coast vaccine states I was able to get my flu shot and COVID booster yesterday. I have got those shots at the same pharmacy, last year so maybe my insurance is on record with them. But! Nobody asked if it was up to date or anything like that. Go make an appointment of you aren’t vaccinated or boosted this year.

  1. Dud Andy Ngo bring his backup band of stupid?

    There’s compelling proof that antifa did infiltrate on January 6 dressed up like Trump supporters and incited violence. Is that something you’d like the new J6 committee to look at?

    Well, shit why’d we pardon all those antifa then??

  2. At the bar later that night:
    “There’s compelling proof that I’m a creepy refugee migrant with a tiny penis who you find utterly repellant. Is that something you think will influence your decision to throw your drink in my face and summon a bouncer?”

  3. Which was the style at the time…

    Trump: “I don’t know what could be worse than Portland. You don’t even have stores anymore. They don’t even put glass up. They put plywood on their windows.”

  4. Jack Prosobiec saying Antifa goes back almost 100 to the Weimar Republic….

    Audience thinks
    “Yes. Fought Hitler, Mussolini…”

    Jack, “And that was bad. They are bad.”

  5. You don’t know her we met in Canada so there’s no way you would’ve ever met her too, but trust me my girlfriend is real.

    And like 104 years old

    Noem, “One of the individuals we arrested recently was the girlfriend of one of the founders of antifa and we’re hoping as we go after her and prosecute her, we’ll get more and more information about the network and how we can root them out and eliminate them from the existence of American society

  6. It’s really impossible to pick the coldest bits of comedy gold from today with Donnie and the fascist bunch playing live

    Q: Have you given any more thought to possibly suspending habeas corpus?

    TRUMP: Suspending who?

  7. Everyday layoffs and higher prices:

    Employers across the U.S. cut nearly 950,000 jobs this year through September, the largest number of layoffs since 2020, according to outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas.

    Job cuts could surpass more than 1 million in 2025, the group forecast. The layoffs this year, although elevated, remain well below the massive workforce reductions in 2020, when the pandemic shuttered businesses across the nation, leading to 2 million layoffs through September of that year, Challenger noted.

    A majority of American businesses intend to or have already raised their prices, while also implementing other company-wide adjustments, in order to cope with the impact of President Donald Trump’s tariffs on their operations.

    In a recent survey of senior executives by KPMG LLP, the U.S. arm of the British professional services firm, 44 percent of those polled said they have already increased prices as a result of tariffs. Two-thirds report having passed on up to 50 percent of these costs to their consumers, and 21 percent have passed on over half, up from 13 percent in July.

    Further increases are expected, with 42 percent anticipating price increases of up to 5 percent, and an additional 29 percent predicting hikes of between 6 and 15 percent over the next six months.

    Job Losses + inflation = Stagflation..

    Wave your pom poms kreepee dumbfuck! You voted for it.

  8. 3) My last trip down there this summer, I recall Powell’s being open, no boarded up windows. Same for the Oregon Rail Heritage Museum. They even had Saturday rides on coaches pulled by a switch engine (unfortunately track can’t host the two operable big steam engines the museum is built around, they are too heavy), and a little addition and subtraction. The turntable from the former Brooklyn Roundhouse where the collection used to reside had been installed, the rare ALCO PA diesel in Nickel Plate colors was gone. On FB, Museum patrons hated the latter being gone, until they realized it wasn’t the museum or the city’s locomotive, it was Doyle’s(the retired railroader who maintains and runs the Daylight Steam engine, and whose name is on the building), and he sold it to a museum in Pennsylvania. Plus, they needed room for the old logging engines filling in for the two big steamers on the museum’s Holiday Express trains, until Oregon Pacific’s track is fixed so they can run the big ones again. Soon the museum will own the track, and with the revenue from freight traffic (still one customer on it), they plan to fix it up.

    Across from ORHM, is OMSI, home to the USS Blueback, the last active US Navy Diesel-Electric submarine when she was retired. When I toured her, although the Torpedo Tubes were disabled, they had three torpedoes on display. Of course, de-activated, one is a Mk14(based on reputation, no need to worry, it was the controversial submarine torpedo of WWII), a Mk37(based on reputation, a threat to the Blueback not any Willamette traffic or bridge. A faulty battery and motor start on a Mk37 is one of the probable causes for the loss of the Scorpion), and a Mk48 from when she was last in service. When I toured her, was thinking of the exercise in Down Periscope (yes, I know it’s a movie), would be more plausible to have used Blueback, but best way to simulate underway running, is use a museum boat being towed to and from a periodic dry docking, and they got lucky with the Pampanito in San Francisco. Of all the WW2 submarines that are museums across the country, Pampanito has a restored and working Torpedo Data Computer. That device, when they fixed the defects in the Mk14(hard sell, one of the Pacific Sub Force commanders doggedly blamed his captains, no way the magnetic exploders he designed were the reason the torpedo failed to take out Japanese ships in the early days of the war), may have been key to turning the sub war around, by mid 1945 were almost out of targets.

  9. ANTIFA is a bunch of spoiled brats who should be publicly flogged once a week to get their minds right.

  10. The PR is going GRRRRRRREAT!

    ‘ICE, we have the budget for settlements’

    ‘JOIN ICE, Release the hounds’

    Portland man has iron clad suit as he was born in CA, Gave ICE his drivers’ license, has it on video.

    As heard in the video, Miranda said he didn’t know what an overstay was and that he was born in California. The officer said that they were going to bring Miranda in so that they could verify his information, but he resisted.

    “I haven’t done anything,” Miranda said to the officers in the video.

    “Turn around or you’re going to get the dog,” an officer said. “We’re going to put you in cuffs, or you’re going to get the dog.”

  11. Somehow Brandi Kruse was in on the Antifa Roundtable today trying to pass herself off as a TDS recovered addict.

    Bitch Please. You were MAGA in 2015 and now your fading star is hitched to assuming no one from the PNW has tapes or receipts.

    🚽

  13. BREAKING NEWS REPORT

    In a truly harrowing escalation of the already alarming terror at the federal ICE facility in Portland, FOX is now receiving credible reports from independent journalists on the scene that the chicken suit guy has now joined forces with a dinosaur suit guy and a unicorn suit girl, forming a deadly antifa triad of terror.

  14. ANTIFA is a bunch of spoiled brats

    Like nepo babies.. awwww.. such a “domestic terror threat”..

    OUT OF CONTROL!!!

    BOO!!!

  15. Kids, your brain never fully recovers from Heroin addiction.

    RFK Jr.

    There are many other confirmations — there are two studies that show children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism. It’s highly likely because they are given Tylenol

  17. Liberals had great fun earlier this week when a GOP state legislator was charged with a child sex crime.

    Matt Van Swol
    @matt_vanswol

    🚨#BREAKING: Democrat NC Rep. Cecil Brockman has been charged with statutory rape, indecent liberties with child between the ages of 13 and 15.

    Brockman OPPOSED the “Parents’ Bill of Rights” which mandated that schools tell parents about their child’s mental and physical health.
    7:27 AM · Oct 9, 2025

    Of course he opposed it. It should be up to the minor child to man up and tell her parents she was raped, not the school-employed adult witness to the crime. No matter what the consequences.

    Still fun, libbies?

    Oh. The dude fucking a 13 year-old girl is 41 years old.

  18. The party of hiding the Epstein files, deciding vote felony charged Santos, and Gym Jordan watches as the normal people’s party tosses one of theirs out

    Democratic Gov. Josh Stein described the charges as “extremely serious and deeply troubling.”

    “While the legal process has yet to play out, it’s clear he cannot effectively serve his constituents and should resign immediately,” Stein said in a statement.

    House Democratic Leader Robert Reives (D-Chatham) initially issued a statement saying the charges, if true, would disqualify Brockman from public office.

    When more information became available as the morning went on, Reives put out another statement.

    “As we continue to learn more about the allegations against Rep. Brockman this morning, it has become clear that he is unable to continue serving in the House of Representatives. Rep. Brockman must resign immediately,” Reives said in his second statement.

  20. The Trump administration is considering whether to spend up to $50 million in foreign aid to protect polar bears in Greenland and $25 million for snow leopards in Nepal, proposals strikingly at odds with a parallel initiative to slash humanitarian and wildlife programs deemed incompatible with President Donald Trump’s “America First” agenda, according to documents reviewed by The Washington Post and people familiar with the matter.

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2025/10/09/trump-greenland-polar-bears/

    What’s the connection between polar bears and snow leopards???

    Hmmm.. Oh yeah! WHITE!

    75 million for polar bears and snow leopards. But the starving darkie kids in Africa?

    They can go F themselves!

  21. More things caught on tape.

    ICE hauls a woman out of her car in the pick up line at West Loop Elementary School in Chicago. Then let her go late to pick up kids because…wait for it…she looked illegal but had papers.

  22. Kids, you never really recover from Heroin addiction.

    RFKjr

    Somebody showed me a TikTok video of a pregnant woman at 8 months pregnant — she’s an associate professor at the Columbia Medical School — and she is saying ‘F Trump’ and gobbling Tylenol with her baby in her placenta. The level of Trump Derangement Syndrome is now a pathology.

    Baby in her placenta, eh? A video some unnamed person showed you? Gobbling?

  23. when a few dozen more GOP state legislators were charged with a child sex crime

    ftfy

  25. So the Letitia James case relies on how the loan applications for the home she was cosigning for her niece THREE fields are clearly marked that Ms. James has no intention of residing in the property, will NOT claim it as a primary residence, and that the niece will be the occupant while in one field she’s marked as a resident THEREFORE she was doing the two primary residences bank fraud thing.

    Good luck with that.

  26. @25 So how does an insurance lawyer convince a grand jury to do pants shitter’s bidding? We may never know.

  27. Only the BEST people. If by best you mean people who’ve been watching secretary and boss porn since they were 13.

    In late July, Paul Ingrassia, the White House liaison for the Department of Homeland Security, arrived at a Ritz-Carlton in Orlando with a lower-ranking female colleague and others from their department. When the group reached the front desk, the woman learned she didn’t have a hotel room.

    Ingrassia then informed her that she would be staying with him, according to five administration officials familiar with the episode. Eventually the woman discovered that Ingrassia had arranged ahead of time to have her hotel room cancelled so she would have to stay with him.

  28. @27,

    You lost. Elections have consequences.
