Oregon gov previously announced that agents would begin 'phased withdrawal' Thursday

Acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf told "Bill Hemmer Reports" Wednesday that federal agents will not leave the city of Portland, Ore. until a federal courthouse that has been repeatedly attacked by rioters is "safe and secure."

"We will continue to keep law enforcement officers in the area to make sure that that courthouse is secure at the end of the day," Wolf told host Bill Hemmer.

I thought the Governor had claimed the Feds were tucking tail and withdrawing unconditionally.

US Gov. should start condemnation action to take the surrounding land around the courthouse, including the sidewalks/walkways that have been fenced in, for emergency security reasons.

Seems like a good idea.
They really don’t have a good perimeter at all.

Interestingly we ran across a couple from Oregon today passing through our state, so I asked them about Portland.

She got real nervous and antsy, and started complaining about federal soldiers in Portland and how neither the mayor or governor want them there. I said soldiers, are you sure? She said, oh yes, soldiers. I got firm with her, said no there are none, that federal police officers are there. Then she agreed.

Then this lefty whack job said there are nothing but peaceful protests, and maybe a few might be rioting, but it’s rare and there is that kind in every crowd.

I said we were Trump supporters and just walked off.

She knew she was lying about the soldiers, but had to parrot the talking points just the same. I suspect she knew she was lying about the rioting.

I ask these nut jobs if the were born than way or dropped as a baby. They stammer looking for an answer but I walk off laughing. They really hate being laughed at.

My wife tells them that she is not perfect but at least she is not a democrat.

I heard report on ABC today that VP Pence was the one that made the decision to withdraw. I thought that odd since the President said otherwise, but surmised it was just more of his administration going against Trump.

LOL! Yes! Lying bunch of demon-rats! Kate (bunghole) Brown may be recalled and they showed several Portland business owners on TV who are very pissed! They had their faces blocked out and said many businesses are now going to sue all elected officials.

I personally don’t see the point in believing any MSM story without checking out the facts for myself to the best of my ability with any sources available.

If President Trump had to address every single “fact” that has been put forth by the media, I’m fairly sure he would have no time to actually do the job he was elected to.

Not surprising.

The interesting, but absurd, universe the left inhabits force them to twist reality at a pace that sears their souls for eternity, and perhaps your example is illustrating her inner conflict with reality vs what she must parrot.

I’ve seen reports out of Portland that every thing is fine. No signs of rioting. There’s only a problem when the feds come out and start something. I guess putting out a fire is some kind of instigation. People seem to believe that crap.
