Hopefully we will see less violent protesting in PDX now that the Federal agents are leaving town after negotiations between the Trump administration and Governor Brown. How we got to this point is interesting depending on who is doing the talking. Nik Blosser, the Gov’s chief of staff says that the Feds were clearly looking for a way out, while Chad Wolf, the interim head of Homeland Security says that the Governor finally reached out to them. Other accounts have the nightly tear gassing of the Wall of Moms and munitions from the Feds being shot at people who are not acting violently whatsoever splattered across the national news as reasons that Trump and his crew wanted to get out of town. Now that the State Police have the task of guarding the federal courthouse and the federal agents are gone, the extremist actions better be gone also. The cause for the increased violent protesting directed at the federal officers and the courthouse was supposedly as a result of the federal agents being brought into PDX. If these nightly actions continue, then it’s going to be a win for Trump as he will be tweeting “See I told you that these were anarchists, radical crazy people. My Secret Police Force wasn’t the cause of all the destruction in that libtard city.” Anyhooo, it’s a good thing that they are gone.

And now we have a fight between the Wall of Moms founder and the Black-led community group Don’t Shoot Portland. “The lies are finally clear and we are sad but ultimately not surprised that anti-Blackness showed its ugly head,” read a post published yesterday by Don’t Shoot Portland. This came about after Wall of Moms founder Bev Barnum allegedly filed for business registrations without consulting the Black leaders who recently joined the Wall of Moms group. The Wall of Moms answered a commenter’s question on their official Twitter account saying, “The founder went rogue. Many of us do not agree with her decisions. And she does not currently have access to this account.” I hope they settle their disagreements peacefully.

It was nice that former presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama attended and spoke at the funeral of Rep. John Lewis today. 95 year old former president Jimmy Carter sent a statement that was read at the service. Notice anything missing here? Yep, tRump was MIA, just like he didn’t attend the funeral of Rep. Elijah Cummings last October. Kind of sends a message doesn’t it? I bet he will attend Herman Cain’s service, however, since Cain probably contracted the virus at Trump’s Tulsa rally and was a strong supporter of this president. Oh, and President Obama got a standing ovation at the conclusion of his eulogy. I’m sure that really pissed ‘you know who’ off.

The trend line is going in the wrong direction, friends. Don’t get complacent. Wear your mask, wash your hands, and don’t have sex with alien demons. You just don’t know what’s in their DNA and it’s probably not good. Ziggyman
