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.

Actually, he made his name without an E.

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.

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.
