Of course not. In theory I don’t support blanket immunity. I also do not support obvious political prosecution.

Yeah Portland saw a huge drop last year. Still very high and we aren’t seeing the same drop. Can’t set a record every year.

Beautiful rain all nite.

I'm feeling a decent summer on the way. Probably at or a bit above the long term average, but a step back from the HOT BOX of 2021-23.

For the record I believe the earth is round.

No

Yeah, I would generally agree a murder rate is probably going to be relatively trustworthy. Anything below that I have a hard time trusting the data. I have been told specifically NOT to report crime by law enforcement. Sure the murder rate went down 20% in Portland last year, but it dropped from a record and is still 2-3X higher than it was in 2019. You can view the drop as a big positive, or you can view it as horrifically high compared to our pre-COVID society. Murders by year in Portland: 2019: 36 2020: 55 2021: 92 2022: 101 2023: 77 2024: 26 (On pace for about the same number as last year. Previous all time record: 70 (1987)

You have to admit Trump is a great comedian. https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/112329627037807609

The EURO AI model was on FIRE today. Also shows an airmass that would support snow here Monday morning.

What a blessing for folx more south.

I never thought I would see this nation taken over by mobs of antisemitic villains, but yet here we are. A large number of Democrats now committed to hating Jews. I read an article from a UK media outlet detailing how swastikas are now considered WOKE and preferable among many in the American left.

Still far higher than before the Floyd Riots. Also many people have given up reporting crime, so the numbers are generally meaningless. As I have said before and I will continue to say. We have eyes to see and ears to hear. We know what's going on.

Really coming down here in the Salem area.

Not bad.
