GOOD MORNING, BLOGTOWN! I still remember to the day, in fact is was a third Monday, you came along to be the one for me. LET'S GO TO PRESS.

A gang of anti-LGBTQ dummies are apparently planning on disrupting this weekend's Pride festivities, but will be wildly overwhelmed by our show of force, love, and spandex.

Portland City Council unanimously decided to rename downtown Stark street after LGBTQ civil rights leader Harvey Milk.

A person is dead after apparently jumping from a downtown parking garage yesterday evening. Just a reminder: If you think you are unloved, please remember that feelings can be wrong. People are ready to listen to you. Multnomah County Mental Health call center: 503-988-4888.

The buzz of Portland getting a major league baseball team continues buzzing!

To the surprise of no one, President Trump is taking the findings of yesterday's DOJ watchdog report to claim that he has been "totally exonerated" of any wrongdoing. UMMM... there is not a big enough, or wrong enough report in the world to do that.


Oh, and speaking of rampant criminality, the New York Attorney General is suing Trump because he's been using his "charitable" Trump Foundation to pay legal fees and buy portraits of himself holding golf clubs.

Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen is reportedly closer than ever to flipping on his old, corrupt pal.

Oh, and here's a not-disturbing-at-all quote that Trump gave to state media outlet Fox News about his new buddy, dictator/murderer Kim Jong Un:

ā€œHeā€™s the head of a country and I mean he is the strong head,ā€ Trump said to Fox. ā€œDonā€™t let anyone think anything different. He speaks and his people sit up at attention. I want my people to do the same.ā€

Trump is screwing over Republicans AGAIN by refusing to sign a compromise bill on immigration. Good luck in the mid-terms, dummies!

China is clapping back against Trump's trade tariffs by leveling some very strong tariffs of their own.

A headline designed to make your head explode: "White House defends border separations: 'It's biblical to enforce the law.'"

A new lawsuit says that the personality scores of Asian applicants to Harvard were purposefully lowered to reduce their chances of getting in.

Now let's look at the WEATHER: A very nice Friday with a high of 73 leads to a very nice weekend!
