Portland Wakes Up to the Reality of Crime

From the Daily Mail, we get news on Portland. Portland kicks out woke Soros-backed DA and elects tough-on-crime rival after murders soared and downtown died

The Soros-backed progressive was elected with 77 percent of the vote in 2020 after touting a host of 'equity'-focused policies, in a county that has not voted for a Republican president since 1960.

As for Portland, homicides jumped from 57 to a 96, 2,600 businesses had fled the city center by September 2022 as shoppers avoided downtown, and fatal overdoses surged from 280 in 2019, to 628 in 2023.
