That is one of the scariest articles you could ever read. If you don't believe the end is near for this Country you just aren't paying attention. The Dems will be in control sooner or later of both Houses and the President plus the Armed Forces. Many will die and the destruction will be long and wide.

Their stance is white supremacy, systematic racism and peaceful protest.

Republicans sound the clarion alarm....dems down play as myth.

Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler Thursday evening condemned the actions of rioters who attempted to set fire to a police precinct and blocked the exits while officers were inside.

“When you commit arson with an accelerant in an attempt to burn down a building that is occupied by people who you have intentionally trapped inside, you are not demonstrating, you are attempting to commit murder," Wheeler said in a news conference with Portland Police Chief Chuck Lovell.

"Donâ€t think for a moment that you are if you are participating in this activity, you are not being a prop for the reelection campaign of Donald Trump — because you absolutely are," he said. "You are creating the B-roll film that will be used in ads nationally to help Donald Trump during this campaign. If you donâ€t want to be part of that, then donâ€t show up.”

The front doors of the precinct were barricaded before the fire was started with more than 20 officers and civilian employees inside, police said, according to FOX 12.

Officers used tear gas to disperse the rioters and at least eight people were arrested. A federal court order bars police from using tear gas unless a riot is declared.

“I believe that city staff could have died last night,” Wheeler said. “I cannot and I will not tolerate that. This is not peaceful protests. This is not advocacy to advance reforms.”

A riot was declared Wednesday evening when agitators descended upon the Portland Police Bureauâ€s East Precinct building, spray-painted over security cameras, broke a glass door with a 2x4, lit a fire using an accelerant and threw fireworks and other objects at officers, according to FOX 12 in Portland.

Police said that a truck also attempted to run over officers.

And arguably his biggest concern?  A potential Trump political ad.  People potentially losing their lives wonâ€t stop the mob, but a potential Trump campaign commercial should scare them off.  Welcome to 2020

His opponent this fall ?????????????? FULL TILT ANTIFA supporter.  I bet she gets blown out.   After what ANTIFA has done only an idiot would vote this woman.

Thereâ€s a new candidate in the race for Portland mayor — and she is one of the first people to opt into Portlandâ€s new public campaign finance system.
Sarah Iannarone — a teacher, activist and self-described urban policy wonk — announced her campaign Tuesday with a video and website launch.
Iannarone ran against Mayor Ted Wheeler in 2016 and placed third, with just under 12% of votes.
“I ran in 2016 because I had serious concerns about whether or not at that time the heir apparent, Ted Wheeler, whether he would be the right person to lead our city,” she said. “I think a lot of the criticism that heâ€s gotten over the past few years reflect that I was right.”

Iannarone said sheâ€s been particularly disappointed with Wheelerâ€s support of the Oregon Department of Transportation-led freeway expansion in the Rose Quarter, which she vehemently opposes, and on his continued program of sweeping or removing homeless camps.
“I think heâ€s a very good person, but I think he lacks courage sometimes, and he tries to please everybody,” she said.
Wheeler has said he plans to run again, but has not launched a campaign or started fundraising in earnest.
Iannarone does not have previous experience in elected office. She teaches at Wayfinding Academy, an alternative community college. Previously, she helped start the Alberta Library Cafe and First Stop Portland, a Portland State University program that offers study tours of the city for visiting delegations. Iannarone said she left her PSU position in February.
Iannarone is opting into Portland's public campaign finance system, which was approved by the City Council in 2018.
To qualify for matching dollars under the nascent system, candidates for mayor first have to raise at least $5,000 from 500 individuals. Qualified candidates can then receive $6 from Portlandâ€s taxpayer supported Open and Accountable Elections Fund for every $1 they raise, on donations of $50 or less.
The public campaign finance system is being run by Commissioner Amanda Fritz, who is not seeking re-election. Some members of the City Council have expressed concerns about whether the program has the staff, technology and funding it needs to be ready for the upcoming campaign cycle.

Iannarone said she and her treasurer have met with city staff and studied how to follow program rules. Starting Tuesday, her campaign is qualified to receive donations that could be eligible for matching funds.
“I feel a lot of responsibility, but a lot of opportunity and privilege, to be able to participate in it,” Iannarone said.

Wheeler, who raised $850,000 in private donations when he was elected mayor in 2016, is also facing a potential challenge from Ozzie Gonzalez, a political newcomer.
Gonzales, who trained as an architect, is Diversity and Sustainability Director at Balfour Beatty, a major contractor and construction firm. He serves on the boards of TriMet and the Regional Arts and Culture Council. Like Iannarone, he has not previously held elected office.
Heâ€s currently overseeing equity and workforce development for the renovation of the Portland Building.
Gonzalez announced what he calls “an exploratory campaign” at a small business meeting last month.
“Iâ€ve opened up a PAC, and Iâ€ve put it out into the universe to see if my support network is willing to help me build a foundation for launching a campaign this fall,” he said.
Gonzales said that in his 15 years as an architect, heâ€s collaborated on projects at the international, federal and regional levels, and he has worked closely with urban planners and local governments.
He believes he can help Portland better manage its growing pains, from increased congestion to lack of housing.
“Having a history of helping city and regional governments solve problems of growth, being at the front lines of implementation when governments are looking to address issues of mobility and affordability and economic development — I think the time is now to really dive in and start solving some of these issues,” he said.
Gonzalez said he has not yet decided whether to opt into the public campaign finance system and said he doesnâ€t want to constrain his likelihood of being successful. “If others are opting in, I have no reservation about dong that myself,” he said.
Gonzalez has reported $2,650 in contributions to his political action committee so far.
Teressa Raiford, a self-employed activist and the founder of Donâ€t Shoot Portland, has also announced a campaign and created a candidate PAC. Sheâ€s reported $2,220 in contributions so far in 2019.

She's a Full blown Socialist Zig, I don't see where that benefits anyone in Portland.

So, Portland has Larry, Curly and Moe running for mayor. No wonder they are a train wreck

Can only bring pain and turmoil and ruin.  Look what happened at CHOP Hill Zone in Seattle!   That ran out of steam.   I cannot believe anyone after experiencing it would continue.  At some point they all turn on each other and the people of Portland are seeing how it all works.   Feds left from protecting the courthouse and what happened?  It just continues night after night still yet today.

No it'll continue to get worse and they'll continue to go left. Liberals don't learn.

You don't understand Portland.

She is going to beat the hell out of Ted Wheeler.

So the average person there is down with the looting and destruction of property, etc...????  I mean you would think there is a built in base of sanity there.  It's been a functioning city with businesses, infrastructure and stuff.  Obviously there's normalcy there too.  Yet most of the folk are cool with this crap?  

You know the area better than any of us, but from an outsider's perspective we just....   we just don't get it.
