February gave Texas the cold shoulder this weekend as an extreme winter storm pounded the entire state. As of this morning, power had not been restored to more than 4 million Texans. Hundreds of thousands have also lost water after the water treatment plants in Fort Worth, Abilene, and elsewhere suffered power outages. A handful […]
Environmentalists falsely claim weed-prevention chemical threatens 1,800 threatened species Modern American agriculture has wrought miracles over the past 70 years. Conventional farm production per acre and overall nearly tripled, corn (maize) production increased 500% from 20% less land – and farmers used less water, less fuel, less fertilizer, and fewer pesticides and other chemicals for […]
It’s time for a new era of Republican leadership and we can start right now We on the conservative Right are quick to castigate “The Swamp” and the “Deep State” in Washington, DC, and rightly so. Neither serve the American people, Republican, Democrat, Libertarian, Green, whatever denomination. But just under the indignation is a reluctant […]

I occasionally ask people if they’re aware of a layer of government that has far reaching authority over our local region, stretching from north Portland to Wilsonville, and Forest Grove to Troutdale?
