Despite representing less than 2% of the state population, these families contribute enormously to Oregon’s economy, landscape, and quality of life.

While inflation has driven up the cost of food, Oregon’s farmers and ranchers are not getting richer.

Trump, An American Quisling

Is it any wonder that Trump cheered Putin’s invasion?

Not Your Champion

There are plenty of free thinkers who are not the sheeple following Trump.

Russia-Ukraine Conflict in a Nutshell

A diplomatic solution seems to be closing rapidly.

(SAN FRANCISCO, CA.) - Vladimir Putin’s aggression toward Ukraine took an ominous turn on Monday when he recognized the independence of the breakaway Ukrainian enclaves of the so-called Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics and ordered Russian troops into them as “peacekeepers.”
