Feel free to call in. You've spent more time replying to me than I've put into this site.

Illegal aliens represent the 21st century version of slaves and that makes Democrats desperate to hold onto ‘em…and make the rest of us pay for their healthcare.

Leading that disgusting charge is Oregon Democrat Jeff Merkley. Jeffro, who’s not exactly the sharpest tool in the box, says “What happened to state’s rights”...the same rallying cry Democrats used defending slavery.

Dems defeated that, even though 4 of ‘em crossed the aisle and voted with the Republicans.

Sen. John Cornyn, who sponsored the medicaid cut, put it this way “Democrats chose to side with the worst of the worst in our society over our seniors and the most vulnerable American citizens. Disgusting.”

Federal law already forbids those benefits for any illegals.

But blue states like Oregon and Washington cheat around the rules and give it out anyway.

So the Big Beautiful Bill would cut federal payments to states that cheat.

Consider last night’s efforts to pass the Big Beautiful Bill. That's the one that preserves tax cuts, benefiting average families by letting them keep thousands more from their own paychecks.

Republicans proposed to cut medicaid benefits for illegals charged or convicted of major crimes.

Democrats like Senator Jeff Merkley want to make it clear: they put the interests of illegal aliens ahead of their American constituents.

Actually, he made his name without an E.

Congratulations, Occupy Wall Street! You won! Those one-percenters don't know what hit them!

It is any wonder that the serious problems of the region don’t get addressed when

so many in elected office seem to be thinking with something other than the head between their ears.

Congressman David Wu, who liked cavorting around in a tiger costume, resigned after being accused of sexually assaulting the daughter of a friend.

All of them members of the Democrat Party, of course, which has double standards or it would have none at all.

And then consider the region’s history. A child rapist former Governor. Another Governor forced to resign after his grifter girlfriend peddled influence.

One of Portlandia’s former Mayor’s chased a teenage boy around the legislature till the boy turned legal age before bedding him.

In Washington state a politician who, I kid you not, describes himself as “Jessica Ann Roberts" “A bisexual trans woman with itty bitty (blanks) and a big girl (boy part).” who makes money on the side with an Only Fans account.

Jessica Ann now has a spot on the Lynwood city council.

Consider the most recent examples from Oregon and Washington.

A new Clackamas county commissioner indicted for eight felonies in an alleged fraud against an elderly man. Melissa Fireside has thankfully resigned.

Do you ever wish the freak show of Northwest politics would just stop?

Tillamook cheese is superior to Wisconsin cheese.

Some of our listeners are confused by our opening theme. Recently, we had a complaint that our opening has "demonic fiddle music." For the record, our opening includes AC/DC's 1990 hit song Thunderstruck, and includes no fiddles.

Wow, this Snow White remake is woke.

Instead, we let Canada dump its excess lumber in America at prices that cripple our industry.

How else can you explain 35-thousand employees of the United States Forest Service, managing a quarter of a billion acres of trees…and losing money.

Donald Trump can change that.

Yet, 30 percent of the lumber we buy comes from America’s future 51st state.

It would be like Saudi Arabia importing oil…or Hollywood importing pedophiles.

I hope those tariffs kickstart America’s timber industry.

It would mean jobs, and taxes, and keeping America’s forests safe from fires.

I’ve wondered out loud for the last 30 years why a country with so much of its own timber would buy 2 by 6s from someone else .

Federal, state and local governments in the U.S. own 300-million acres of trees.

Private companies own 50% more of that.

America’s new tariffs on China, Mexico and Canada rolled in around midnight last night.

Donald Trump has used tariffs as a powerful bargaining tool with positive effects in the less than 2 months he has served as President.

One area of tariffs holds a special interest for me: wood.

Transgender troops will be removed from the military, Pentagon says The policy goes further than the trans military ban that President Donald Trump instituted during his first term, which allowed some trans troops to continue serving.

Hey County commissioners, you made this mess, you clean it up and when the price tag stuns your voters, they know what to do at the next election.

The County claims it is short of cash and wants a bailout - $55M from the state.

As though the homeless problem grown by Multnomah County must be paid for by Harney, Josephine, Clatsop and 32 other counties hundreds of miles away.

Two years ago, the County had so much money it claimed it could not figure out how to spend it all.

The county spent millions giving away tents and tarps that clutter the urban landscape. Now the city of Portland is spending tens of millions to clean up that mess.
