The former chair of the Multnomah County Republicans says not to trust the media regarding the presidential election.
Editor s Note: This column by former Multnomah County Republican Party chair James L. Buchal makes allegations of widespread voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election. No evidence of widespread voter fraud has been uncovered and federal judges have repeatedly dismissed lawsuits claiming voter fraud in the election citing a lack of evidence.
After a summer of attacks upon federal, state and private property deemed mostly peaceful by the media, a similar demonstration at the U.S. Capitol produced a continuing and overblown media frenzy about insurrection. After tolerating fringe insurrectionists who are Democrats for decades, leading Democrats and weak-willed Republicans now lead a puritanical effort to purge those challenging insurrection-related narratives from the public square.

West Linn cop s blackface clown painting removed from school February 10 2021
The West Linn Police Department issued a statement that the painting has been removed; school district says it should never have been displayed.
A post in the West Linn Open Forum community Facebook group has sparked the removal of a velvet painting depicting a clown in blackface from a school resource officer s office wall at West Linn High School.
The officer, Jeff Halverson, said the painting was used as an icebreaker to make students more comfortable talking to a police officer. It s not something the kids are used to seeing a painting of a clown on a police officer s wall … Same thing with staff. Like, Why do you have a velvet painting of a clown? Why wouldn t I, you know? he said. It was a good icebreaker to make people more comfortable. They were talking to a police officer; some of them hadn t done that before.
Like all of you, I am waiting for those answers.
In Oregon, the law requires an external body to investigate when police use deadly force. As such, the Washington County Major Crimes Team is leading this investigation. This is a group of seasoned investigators, who are all trained to investigate the most serious and complex types of criminal matters.
Although we have members on the team, they are specifically excluded from this investigation because of our direct involvement in it. This is standard practice, as is the fact that the investigators will not consult with or receive any permission from our department as they conduct their thorough review of the facts. Their task is to follow the facts, wherever they may lead, and record them accurately.
