Returned from a vacation trip. It's good to be back in Oregon.

The doctors group told the San Francisco delegation that while they loved the city, postconvention surveys showed their members were afraid to walk amid the open drug use, threatening behavior and mental illness that are common on the streets.

It didn’t help that one board member had been assaulted near Moscone Center last year.

So sad the place has gone to hell.

Who was against who and what is so freaking important for violence? Are we still dealing with Conservative vs Ultra Liberal?

Are we still dealing with Conservative vs Ultra Liberal?

No. "Anti-fascist" fascists vs. anyone else. It doesn't matter. Violence is all they know.

It's goons in black masks with metal batons who are criminals vs just about everyone else. There are times when they need to be taught a lesson in manners.

 

Looks like the Antifa's Intelligence Officer under estimated their opponents. Whose bright idea was it to throw an exploding device in a crowd containing veterans? Didn't they think those would respond according to their training?

Pepper spray ... civilian style pepper spray ... Yeah, I guess they thought some haven't trained being sprayed.

Maybe Antifa needs an after action assessment.

It's a shame the cops revoked the permit. impeding on the groups first amendment rights.

Antifa's members should be arrested for their criminal acts.

MAMMOTH HOT SPRINGS, WY – Three defendants from the Canadian group High On Life appeared Thursday, January 19, before U.S. Magistrate Judge Mark Carman at the Yellowstone Justice Center in Mammoth Hot Springs, WY. Two defendants attended the hearing in person and one defendant was on the phone. Charles Ryker Gamble, Alexey Andriyovych Lyakh, and Justis Cooper Price Brown pleaded guilty to violations in Yellowstone National Park, Zion National Park, Death Valley National Park, and Mesa Verde National Park.

The group, consisting of Charles Ryker Gamble, Alexey Andriyovych Lyakh, Justis Cooper Price Brown, Parker Heuser, and Hamish McNab Campbell Cross, were the subject of multiple investigations by the National Park Service and the Bureau of Land Management.

The con woman.

The woman told the Marine she wanted to expand her security team with his colleagues, so that it was more "like a family." The Marine would eventually refer his friends, including snipers, Special Forces operators and Green Berets. Each of them reported back the same experience: They had to "fire" Cohen; the woman asked for "kisses." With some of these other military operators, the Marine says, she convinced them to engage in graphic virtual sex with her via Skype.

A couple of weeks later, the Marine traveled to Indonesia at the woman's behest, forking over some $2,800 from his own pocket for expenses, with the expectation that he'd soon be paid nearly $10,000 in additional fees for his security analysis of various hotels and locations.

I don't know why some Youtuber's tend to risk their lives. Is this what you called leaving your life to the fullest?

With an unprotected fob, thieves can intercept the signal from the fob to a car with a special receiver, known as a “relay attack”. They can then use this to enter the car and even turn on the ignition.

A bit of nostalgia
Bend's Blockbuster looks just like stores from years ago -- yellow on the inside and employees sporting blue shirts. They even have floppy disks and old computer systems, Harding told CNN.

WOW!

I was really surprised to see a helicopter operating at such an elevation, so I looked up the elevation of the Mt. Hood summit – it's only 11,250' and that explains it. I though it might be more like Ranier or Shasta, both over 14,000'. That last 3,000 feet makes a big difference.

The slightest change in air density at that altitude is cause for a massive pucker factor while doing a 'butt-landing' on the side of a glacier. The ceiling of the 46-47 dual class bird is closer to 20,000 feet. A HH-60G Pave Hawk is tapped at 14,000.

I've flown on a Sikorsky CH-53E Super Stallion close to the service ceiling. It was terrifying for me to be that high up looking at an open door in the back.
