Oregon Governor Tina Kotek Claims Federal Agents in Portland Are Antagonizing Protesters

Oregon’s Democrat Governor Tina Kotek is blaming federal agents for the ongoing unrest in Portland, saying that these agents are escalating the situation by antagonizing protesters.

It makes no sense, but Kotek has to say this. If she told the truth, she would come under attack from the crazy leftists who put her in office. She has to defend them even if it means denying reality.

The radical left has been tearing the city apart since 2016. Everyone has seen countless videos of it for years now. Kotek is telling the rest of America not to believe their own eyes and ears.

Partial transcript via PBS:

This is not a war zone. We don’t have a challenge here in terms of managing lawful demonstrations outside the ICE building.

And I believe that they are looking back at information from 2020 and assuming this is the same. Look, lawful demonstrations happen in the city of Portland outside of this facility. It is being managed. What I’m seeing and what we’re seeing and what the mayor is seeing on the ground is an escalation from the agents who are protecting the building, trying to antagonize those protesters who are there.

And I would like to de-escalate the situation. We don’t need a military intervention. And let’s remember the federal judge agreed with that argument, not once, but twice. The federal government has not made a compelling case, based on the evidence on the ground, that there is an actual problem as it relates to being an insurrection or a rebellion or whatever they think this is.

Meet the Democrats Who Still Endorse Jay Jones After Remarks About Wanting a GOP Leader and His Children Dead

Virginia Democrat attorney general candidate Jay Jones continues to hold nearly 200 endorsements from organizations, elected officials, and prominent Democrats, several days after text messages resurfaced from 2022 in which he discussed shooting former Republican House Speaker Todd Gilbert and referenced his children dying. As of Monday, October 6, none of his endorsers have withdrawn their alignment or publicly called for him to drop out of the race.

The fallout erupted late last week after National Review published messages between Jones and Republican Delegate Carrie Coyner. In the texts, Jones wrote that if faced with a choice between shooting two dictators or Gilbert, he would “pick Gilbert every time.” Coyner confirmed that Jones also referenced Gilbert’s children dying “in the arms of their mother.” Jones later apologized, saying he was “deeply sorry” and took “full responsibility” for his comments.

Since the report, calls for Jones to withdraw have come from President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, House Speaker Mike Johnson, Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin, and Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears, who is running for governor. Earle-Sears released an ad Sunday featuring Democratic support of Jones and urging voters to “reject the insanity.” Trump endorsed incumbent Attorney General Jason Miyares, describing Jones’s statements as “sick and demented,” while Miyares called them “disqualifying.”

His campaign website continues to feature backing from national figures, including Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ), former Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe, former Virginia Gov. Ralph S. Northam, former first ladies Dorothy McAuliffe and Pamela Northam, Rep. Bobby Scott (D-VA), Rep. Suhas Subramanyam (D-VA), Rep. Eugene Vindman (D-VA), and former Reps. Elaine Luria and Tom Perriello.

There’s no doubt anymore: Here’s the official profile of the violent political left…

Every few years, a new study drops that completely shatters whatever lies the left has been selling about “political extremism.” This is the group who tried to make MAGA grannies into “insurrectionists.”

So, this new 2025 survey does exactly that… it blows their lies into smithereens and exposes the real face of political violence in America. Spoiler alert: it’s not coming from the MAGA crowd, but you already knew that, right?

The data lays it out in black and white. Today’s violent extremists aren’t the uneducated, gun-toting conservatives the media loves to mock and demonize. They’re highly educated, mostly young, and overwhelmingly liberal. These are the so-called “progressives,” the ones who lecture everyone about “tolerance” and their precious “democracy,” yet one out of three openly admits to supporting violence if it serves their political goals.

And they’re doing exactly that, as we speak.

It Has Come to This: Chicago Police Told to Abandon ICE Officers Who Were Attacked in a Gunfight

Governors and mayors in Blue cities are the new Confederates. They are, so far, not engaged in a shooting war with federal law enforcement officers, but they have declared open season for others to attack and shoot at them. 

I guess it is on-brand for the Chicago Police to ignore gunshots, but generally speaking, law enforcement officers respond promptly when other law enforcement officers request assistance when their lives are endangered.

This morning, during routine patrolling in Broadview, in the same area of Chicago that law enforcement were assaulted yesterday, our brave law enforcement officers were rammed by vehicles and boxed in by 10 cars. 

Agents were unable to move their vehicles and exited the car. One of the drivers who rammed the law enforcement vehicle was armed with a semi-automatic weapon. Law enforcement was forced to deploy their weapons and fire defensive shots at an armed US citizen who drove herself to the hospital to get care for wounds.

The armed woman was named in a @CBP intelligence bulletin last week for doxing agents and posting online ‘Hey to all my gang let’s fuck those mother fuckers up, don’t let them take anyone.’

Thankfully, no law enforcement officers were seriously injured in this attack.

Pritzker’s Chicago Police Department is leaving the shooting scene and refuses to assist us in securing the area. There is a growing crowd and we are deploying special operations to control the scene.

CBP officers were attacked–their trucks boxed in between a large number of cars with hostile aggressors who rammed the truck–and wound up having to discharge their weapons at an armed woman who was helping lead the attack.

Deranged DEMOCRAT Receives Maximum Sentence After Threatening to KILL Federal Judge

A California woman has been sentenced to five years in federal prison for issuing a death threat against a federal judge in Texas. 

The case is yet another reminder of how political violence—too often excused, ignored, or downplayed by the Left—has become a dangerous feature of American life.

According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Texas, 46-year-old Dolly Patterson admitted she transmitted an interstate threat against a federal judge in Amarillo in April 2023. 

Her message, submitted online, read: “Tell that anti-abortion judge he better watch his back . . . for the rest of his life!” 

Federal prosecutors emphasized that Patterson’s intent was clear: she wanted her threat to be perceived as genuine, and she fully understood that it crossed the line into criminal behavior.

The court handed down the maximum statutory penalty—five years in prison. Federal officials were blunt in their assessment. 

“The safety of our federal judiciary is paramount,” Acting U.S. Attorney Nancy Larson said. 

“Threats of violence to our judges are becoming all too common—whether made online or in person. Such threats are illegal and will be prosecuted.”

This sentencing shines a light on a broader problem. Political intimidation, harassment, and violence are increasingly tolerated in progressive circles. 

From protests that devolve into riots to personal threats against judges, politicians, and law enforcement officers, the pattern is consistent: when the Left doesn’t get its way, it often resorts to violence.

Judges in particular have become targets of anger from activists who view the judiciary not as a neutral arbiter but as an obstacle to their political goals.

Portland Police Bureau Blames Conservative Journalist for Being Attacked by Antifa, Claims She ‘Instigated’ by Simply Being There

The Portland Police Bureau (PPB) has come under fire for defaming a conservative journalist who was viciously assaulted by Antifa militants, claiming that she “instigated” the assault by simply being there.

Katie Daviscourt, a staff reporter for The Post Millennial, was labeled a “counter-protester” in an internal police report that suggested she and others deliberately antagonized protesters, leading to their own assaults.

Earlier this week, Daviscourt was bashed in the face by a female masked Antifa militant with a flag pole and left with a black eye. Police refused to arrest the assailant after she fled into a nearby “safehouse” for the extremist activists.

The report, authored by PPB Sgt. Andrew Braun, described Daviscourt, along with The Post Millennial contributor Chelly Bouferrache and conservative activist Rhein Amacher, as chronic instigators at the ICE protests. All three of them have been the victims of violent assaults by leftist lunatics.

Braun’s statement claimed:

“These 3 counter-protesters continue to be a chronic source of police and medical calls at ICE. Despite repeated advice from officers to stay away from the ICE crowd, they constantly return and antagonize the protesters until they are assaulted or pepper sprayed. They refuse or are reluctant to walk away from these confrontations, even when police are in the area trying to meet with them. They even engage in the same trespassing behavior on federal and trolley property as the main protesters. Aside from the confrontation between opposing protesters, there was no reported activity around ICE that would have otherwise generated a police response.”

The Post Millennial responded, writing, “Daviscourt has been diligently reporting on the protest and riot activity for months, recording her work both in The Post Millennial and on X for all the world to see while local legacy media stayed away for safety reasons. On Sept. 30, the world saw another report from Daviscourt, but this one ended with a concussion and an eye hemorrhage. She was reporting outside the facility when a woman swung a flagpole at her, bashing her in the face.”

Antifa-Aligned DEMOCRAT Charged With ASSAULTING Federal Officer Outside ICE Facility

Federal prosecutors announced this week that a Portland woman with ties to Antifa—a newly designated terrorist organization—has been charged with felony assault after striking a federal officer during an encounter at the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) office in South Portland.

According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Oregon, 39-year-old Katherine Meagan Vogel was arrested on September 30, 2025, after she vandalized federal property by pouring red paint across the driveway of the ICE facility. 

Federal officers detained Vogel and escorted her inside the facility for questioning about the vandalism, which constituted depredation of government property.

While officers processed her, Vogel escalated the situation into violence. Court filings state that she struck a federal officer in the jaw with a closed fist. 

The assault led to her immediate arrest on an additional felony charge of assaulting a federal officer. Under federal law, the charge carries a penalty of up to eight years in prison.

“Violence and property damage at the ICE building or any other federal building will not be tolerated. 

If you assault a federal law enforcement officer or damage federal property, you will be arrested and federally prosecuted,” said U.S. Attorney Scott E. Bradford in a public statement.

Vogel made her first appearance before a U.S. Magistrate Judge the following day. 

She was released under court-imposed conditions pending further proceedings.

Prosecutors emphasized that a criminal complaint is an allegation and Vogel is presumed innocent until proven guilty.

The case highlights a broader trend of organized hostility toward immigration enforcement in Portland.

Pam Bondi Orders FULL INVESTIGATION into Nick Sortor’s Unjust Arrest in Portland – Investigation Will Be Led By No-Nonsense Assistant AG Harmeet Dhillon

The Trump Administration is taking action following the arrest of one of the most prominent conservative journalists in America.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Portland Police arrested Sortor on Thursday night after he defended himself from Antifa thugs. The woman who attacked him was not arrested.

X user Mark Wilson shared a clip showing Sortor being led away in handcuffs. “Portland PD arrested a journalist, but none of the domestic terrorists,” he wrote.

Sortor explained to Fox News’s Bill Melugin that he was getting video of Antifa fascists crying after getting maced by federal agents. Then, the agitators swarmed him, shoved him down into a flower bed, and someone threw a punch.

Sortor responded by swinging back but missing. He then disengaged and walked over to a group of Portland PD.

The police, though, responded by arresting him and charging him with disorderly conduct.

Now, Sortor has revealed that the Portland Police are about to find out.

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi revealed to Sortor that she has ordered a full investigation into Sortor’s ridiculous arrest. No-nonsense Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon will lead the investigation.

“BREAKING: Attorney General Pam Bondi has ORDERED a full investigation, led by Asst. AG Harmeet Dhillon, of the Portland Police Bureau, following my wrongful arrest last night, Bondi confirmed to me,” Sortor wrote.

“FAFO, @PortlandPolice,” he added.” @AGPamBondi personally called me to deliver this news, and I’m incredibly grateful to her for doing so.”

“The Trump DOJ WILL NOT allow Portland Police to continue to do the bidding of Antifa.”

Trans Democrat Attacked ICE Agents. Now She’s Asking the Public for Bail Donations.

A Portland transgender activist pleaded guilty this week to felony charges after attempting to intimidate federal immigration officers with a knife and later resisting arrest. 

Despite the serious nature of the crimes, the defendant has now turned to crowdfunding to solicit donations for bail.

Julie Winters, 47, of Portland, admitted in federal court to one count of Felony Intimidation of a Federal Officer and one count of Resisting Arrest. 

According to court documents, on June 24, 2025, Winters confronted officers at the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) office in South Portland armed with a large knife. 

Prosecutors stated Winters swung the weapon back and forth in an effort to scare off officers who were attempting to engage with her. The incident was treated as a direct threat to federal law enforcement personnel.

Following the June confrontation, Winters was released on pretrial conditions. However, she violated those terms just weeks later. 

On August 20, 2025, she appeared at the Pretrial Services Office in Portland, where U.S. Marshals attempted to arrest her on a federal warrant. 

Court records show she resisted by making “forcible contact” with deputy marshals during the arrest attempt. 

The defendant was subdued and taken into custody without serious injuries reported.

Dem Nominee For Virginia AG ‘Deeply, Deeply Sorry’ For Fantasizing About Killing Republican Lawmaker, Urinating on His Grave 

The Democratic Party’s nominee for Virginia attorney general, Jay Jones, has said he is “deeply, deeply sorry” for fantasizing about killing a Republican lawmaker.

Jones was asked about his disgusting comments in an interview with ABC 8News reporter Tyler Englander.

“A lot of politics is about trust,” Englander said. “I can think of nothing more horrific than a mother having to hold her dying child. How can Virginians trust a man who said something so horrific, so callously?”

“Well again, I am so deeply, deeply, sorry, for what I said, and I wish that it hadn’t happened and I would take it back if I could,” Jones answered.

The story was first broken by National Review, who published early-morning texts from August 2022 showing Jay Jones in which he imagined shooting his political opponents.

The messages were prompted by bipartisan tributes to the late centrist legislator Joe Johnson Jr., which had been shared in statehouse group chats.

Jones, who had recently left the state House, sent his responses to Republican Delegate Carrie Coyner.

He slammed Johnson as too “moderate” and mocked the “glowing” eulogies in his honor, particularly one made by Republican House Speaker Todd Gilbert.

“If those guys die before me, I will go to their funerals to piss on their graves,” adding that he would “send them out awash in something.”

He then said, hypothetically, he would kill then-Speaker Todd Gilbert instead of murderers like Adolf Hitler and Pol Pot — a comment that led Coyner to beg him to stop.
