Clownwhirled A man is in custody after being shot and modestly injured Friday night by a Portland Police officer downtown after allegedly chasing people on the street with a knife. The area around the convenience store at 12th and Jefferson is one of our cursed little corners, due in part to a nearby subsidized apartmentContinue reading “PDX Police Blotto 10.17: The Clown and the Car Go Honk Honk Honk, Honk Honk Honk”

Momz and Dadz
Black! people hit their kids. Everyone knows this. I drove a taxi for a short stint a long time ago. Once I drove a big Black! momma with two small boys, like mom thickset with little toad-like heads, showing all the promise of, soon, a pair of vigorous bruisers. One of the boys wouldn’t cooperateContinue reading “Momz and Dadz”
PDX Police Blotto: Bros Before Hoes, Mayhem
2022 continues the high plateau in crime rates following 2020’s BLM riots and subsequent raft of new laws directed at police and criminal prosecutions. Progressive Oregon politicians followed the shock and awe of the riots like invading troops following a bombing campaign, achieving a host of long-time legislative goals. Mercifully they did not get allContinue reading “PDX Police Blotto: Bros Before Hoes, Mayhem”
More Revolting Talk
The other day I posted about a recent Michael Anton essay broaching the increasingly relevant, always fraught question of revolution, in our age of hostile government. Forgive me quoting myself: Anton makes his most important point here: It’s that they [“conservatives”] believe—against the Founders, and against all experience of history—that once implemented, it can never beContinue reading “More Revolting Talk”
Bridge Trouble
A Washington citizen is raising the alarm about support beams for a bridge over the Columbia warping and bending. Washington state was home to the Tacoma Narrows Bridge that failed spectacularly under high winds shortly after opening in 1940. This article caught my attention because on a couple of different nights last week I noticedContinue reading “Bridge Trouble”
The Revolution Will Be Immanentized
But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security…it is the right of the people to alter or toContinue reading “The Revolution Will Be Immanentized”

Moldilocks and Muh Mental Health
A homeless Goldilocks in Portland is serially breaking into homes to sack out and stuff. “She started by going up to my neighbor two doors down and urinating on their porch, and then she came directly over to my house, came in, crawled up into the bed and that whole thing happened,” said Smith. “TheyContinue reading “Moldilocks and Muh Mental Health”
The Me-trix
Aggressive narcissism defines us now. Weaponized, it fuels the woke demolition machine. But the individual narcissist lives in oblivion, most of all of his narcissism and its manipulation. The image from The Matrix of people siloed off from and unaware of one another while all feed their energy into the same giant tower is apt;Continue reading “The Me-trix”
Gray Lady: Russia Hates Pussy, Hats
It’s likely been a while since you’ve thought about 2017’s “Women’s March” which bequeathed to posterity the “pussy hat”, or its prominent organizer Linda Sarsour (who wears a hijab–ironically a sort of anti pussy hat, representing sex roles and modesty in absolute opposition to feminism as expressed by the pussy hat; but who’s paying attention,Continue reading “Gray Lady: Russia Hates Pussy, Hats”
