Portland’s “woke” Mayor Ted Wheeler has caved in a doomed effort to try to save the Democrats in the looming midterms.
Democrat Wheeler says he will now ban unsanctioned homeless encampments in the overwhelmed city, calling the crisis “a vortex of misery for all involved.”
“The magnitude and the depth of the homeless crisis in our city is nothing short of a humanitarian catastrophe,” Wheeler said.
“We need to move our scattered, vulnerable homeless population closer to the services that they need.”
“Collectively, this is a vortex of misery for all involved,” he added.
Wheeler plans to move unhoused people to designated campsites after the ban on camping on city streets takes effect. Portland’s woke-topia is falling apart. Mayor Ted Wheeler announced he wants to ban homeless encampments & 81% of voters think the George Floyd protests were disastrous for the city. https://t.co/1xJJcM3gkR — OutKick (@Outkick) October 24, 2022 “Under the measures, social workers would direct people camping on the street to the city’s designated camping sites,” Wheeler said, according to the AP .
“Police could arrest or cite people if they refuse to leave.”
But the citations could be waived as part of a “services diversion program” that would allow people cited for low-level offenses, such as violating the camping ban, to receive mental health or substance abuse treatment instead of jail time.Scott Kerman, executive director of Blanchet House, a Portland nonprofit that provides social services for the homeless said the plan “has some positive elements but there remain a lot of unanswered questions and unknown details.” Slay the latest News for free! “We’re serving people that even in the most extreme winter and summer weather conditions will not seek out emergency shelter because they have such PTSD and anxiety about congregate shelter,” Kerman said.“They have felt unsafe in those environments.“They may have even been […]
Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
