Yup, the Harney County standoff is still going strong—with new yahoos seemingly showing up by the day. And the main yahoos? They’ve begun cutting fences at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge so that local ranchers can illegally graze there in the spring.
They’ve also maybe been snooping into federal employees’ personal information, according to a report from KOIN, which says the US Fish and Wildlife Service is suggesting some of its employees not live in their homes until this whole thing blows over.
Lastly, the O‘s got a profile of Harney County Sheriff Dave Ward, who’s been the public face of law enforcement in this whole thing, while federal agents keep a low profile.
I’m too busy furiously sucking air through my clenched teeth to bother with a dick joke about the guy who shoved a two-foot python into his pants, then walked very, very gingerly out of a Portland pet store.
Things seem dire for public employee unions in around 20 states. The US Supreme Court looks for all the world like it’s going to allow public employees to opt out of paying any money for the union’s services—even if the services benefit those employees. Translation: Potentially a lot less money.
What’s that mean for Oregon? That some conservatives are licking their chops, dreaming of a new Republican ascendency they think will come once unions’ political clout is diminished.
Speaking of political clout, the ultra-conservative Koch brothers have plenty. Also: Their father built an oil refinery for Hitler.
And speaking of shady political cash, something like eight—EIGHT—Super PACs are now sniffing around Ted Cruz’s door, and this year is going to be terrible.
Ooh! Only four short months ’til the May primary, everybody. Here are Portland’s most-likely next mayors criticizing each other. Ted Wheeler talks Jules Bailey. Then Bailey talks Wheeler.
The Oregonian has made a science out of clocking Terri Horman, long-suspected stepmom of disappeared Kyron Horman. So much so that here’s a story about the fact she moved to California.
The Port of Portland’s shipping activity is roughly 1 percent of what it was before two big-time companies pulled their business. Laborers at the port are still getting paid about the same.
Iowans simply love Bernie Sanders. And that’s giving Hillary Clinton’s campaign a lot of anxiety three weeks before the state’s Democratic caucus.
A suicide bombing in one of Istanbul’s most popular tourist districts this morning has killed 10 people and renewed fears of terrorist attacks bleeding over from the war in Syria.
Winter’s bone, y’all.
I think you mean the Port’s CONTAINER business. There is still a lot of other loading and unloading happening — cars, bulk goods, etc. which are overall way more than the container shipping ever has been.
^I’m with you bro, what park do you hang out in?
You forgot to tell us how Sanders has no chance of winning.
