Enforce our Bill of Rights
Two days after Donald Trump was elected president of the United States, two Portlanders have submitted a petition for a 2018 ballot initiative to have Oregon secede from the United States.
On Thursday morning, Jennifer Rollins, a lawyer, and Christian Trejbal, a writer, filed the Oregon Secession Act. Continue reading “After Donald Trump victory, Oregonians submit ballot proposal to secede from the union”
This photograph is of one of my always handy weapons, its mounted under a table with a single piece of nylon webbing , three drywall screws and three washers. Even though the pistol has a Clipdraw attached to the frame its not needed, if you try this and find your assembly to be a bit loose just remove the screw, cinch the webbing a bit and try again (don’t forget to unload first). Additionally with a larger weapon I think multiple straps would work just fine 🙂 Continue reading “Solution”
If you voted for Donald Trump, you may not feel welcomed at Grubhub.
The CEO of Grubhub, an online food delivery service, sent a company wide email Wednesday suggesting employees who agree with President-elect Donald Trump’s behaviors and his campaign rhetoric should resign. Continue reading “Boss says employees who agree with Trump’s rhetoric should resign”
The international police organization, Interpol, elected a Chinese security official as its president Thursday, raising concerns among human rights advocates that the appointment could fortify Beijing’s efforts to hunt down political opponents abroad.
The organization’s general assembly elected Meng Hongwei, China’s vice minister for public security for the past 12 years, to the post effective immediately during a meeting in Bali, Indonesia.

All across the country, the election of Donald Trump is being protested with increasing fervor. Despite all odds (since all the public odds were rigged) Trump’s sweeping win of the electoral vote was a stunning blow to Hillary Clinton supporters and they’re rioting in the streets. If they want martial law, this behavior is how you get martial law.
And they aren’t taking their loss gracefully. They’re shouting, swearing, crying, and, according to the most frequent word I’ve seen, absolutely terrified. They seem unaware of the irony that when they refer to Trump as a fascist, they’re actually the ones protesting a legitimately elected leader simply because their candidate didn’t win.

It’s incredibly sad when you thought you had friends, a church family, a close-knit neighborhood and strong familial bonds only to find they were too shallow to survive a vote. Due to social media, we now have a little too much insight into the opinions of others, and it’s dividing relationships that were otherwise loving and healthy.
Facebook is littered with stories of friendships ripped apart by voting disagreements. A friend of mine lost over half her Twitter contacts retweeted several pro-Trump Tweets, and she’s not even American. Continue reading “Politics and Social Media Are Ripping Apart Families, Friendships, Churches”
Paid instigators are making an already bad situation much much worse.
As riots and protests rage through the streets of America, the question has to be asked: Continue reading “It Looks Like George Soros is Funding the Trump Protests Just Like He Funded the Ferguson Riots”
There will be no Word From the Trenches broadcast today, I have a case of malagala.
Dedicated to my fellow Trencher and friend NC.
“We will have more to say tomorrow. She is not done yet.” (November 8, John Podesta, Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman)
O the horror! The scream of agony.
The scream came from many directions; the smarmy little cutsie editorial writers for the NY Times, emitted typical squeaks, which is all they’re capable of—the Times should fire the lot of them, but of course the publishers are just as smarmy as they drown in red ink and their whole operation goes down. Continue reading “Podesta: “We are not done yet.””

While election madness reached full tilt in recent days, opposition to the Dakota Access Pipeline experienced a quiet victory — Norway’s largest bank, DNB, will consider pulling its hefty investment in the project if concerns from the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe are not addressed.
DNB, EcoWatch reports, has reportedly loaned around $350 million to Energy Transfer Partners for the construction of the pipeline — fully 10 percent of the total cost — but is worried the rights of Native Americans are being trampled in the process.

WASHINGTON—President-elect Donald Trump and President Barack Obama met for the first time Thursday, with the incoming president saying he has “great respect” for Mr. Obama and plans to seek his counsel while in office, a dramatic shift from searing criticism of his predecessor during the 2016 campaign.
Messrs. Obama and Trump met at the White House for 90 minutes, more than an hour longer than planned, during which they discussed a range of domestic and foreign policy issues and organizational logistics about life in the White House.

It’s impossible to say what a Donald Trump presidency will entail, but if the stock market is any indication, investing in private prisons will be great again. Pharmaceuticals and defense stocks also both saw an increase.
Investors are adapting their choices after Trump was declared the winner of the US presidential election. Corrections Corp.’s stock surged 60 percent before paring to 34 percent Wednesday morning, Bloomberg reported. GEO Group, another private detention facility firm, saw their stocks rise by 18 percent.

What a question to ask: Is your vaccinated child ‘hazardous material’? Wow!
However, that’s not flippant at all when one considers the amount of hazardous chemicals and toxic heavy metals being injected into infants starting at day one of life and then at every 2, 4 and 6 month ‘well baby’ visit to their pediatricians, who promote vaccines like they were ‘safe’.
