It's not right to have federal troops in Portland. They have escalated the tension and violence in the city.

It's another political stunt by Trump in a desperate attempt to win points since he's losing in the polls. And, yes, the fed troops are escalating tensions!

me me

we will see you at the polls, that is if we have any city to vote from! let these people come to your house and destroy your things!

Pam W

You are so wrong. Why do not Kate and Wheeler stop these rioters from the destruction. The feds are there to protect the federal property. They are doing their job, Kate and Wheeler won't do anything.

David Flett

These are more like Brownshirts, secret police, masked in unmarked vehicles. Send them back to the Whitehouse.

P Robbins

The USA is not a police state. These *unmarked* enforcement troops have no business in Portland or any other US city. It reeks of fascism.

Rick Lewis

Trump is making it politics.

Oakley Taylor

The feds are acting illegally. They are brutal and violent and have to go; they have no right being here.

Richard Dillard

It is hard enough for the Governor of any state to do what is right for its people with out the Feds coming in and stirring the pot.

Karla Pouillon

They weren't asked to be there and should never have been there in the first place. LEAVE!

Larry Hunt

This is not a police state. Federal police state that is. As long as it is peaceful protests, we don't need trump's goons.

💛🖤 RAG 💛🖤

Enough is enough! They're looting and rioting, pick em up and lock them up together with the mayor and governor who let this happen for month's !!!

me me

NOT PEACEFULL! Burning the city down is not peacefull.

Starla

The presence of unidentified men throwing American citizens into unmarked cars is what happens in dictatorships. Not only unconstitutional, it should alarm every single American.

Bruce Sharp

They are not wanted and they are not good at what they are trying to do. They are inciting and engaging in more violence than they are discouraging.

Tarasem

We need federal secret police taking over every city in every state. Only King Trump's federal government can save us now. Long live the New Deep State, long live King Trump, there is only He! Amen !!

Protecting fed prop, while lib mayor sits on is ,,,,

Lorina De Larm

There's absolutely NO difference in people from a foreign country coming here and terrorizing citizens. THEY ARE TERRORIST'S

Conner Brown

There needs to be some action taken to protect and stop the destruction

Ruth Beal

Portland should be taking care of the problem but, since they are not then yes the Federal government should to protect the business that are being destroyed. PORTLAND HAD THERE CHANGE TO DO THE JOB

Trump sends enforcement to stop protests for equality, but governors are left to stop the pandemic. Sad

Brad Livsey

You bet! Whatever it takes to point people home and off the streets. NEGATIVE ACTIONS deserve NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCES 4 sure!!

Christena

It is out of control. They are needed.

Nancy

Federal Troops need to protect the Federal Buildings as long as possible. If they blocked off the whole area it would help. Leave an area open so they can protest in front of Kate Brown's office!

Pam W

Our State politicians will not do anything about it in fact the Mayor, Wheeler joins the rioters to root them on. We the people need protection and our own State politicians won't give it so yes

Royal Atkinson

Duh. When local protection is not provided, who else is going to provided it? It is federal property, so who else to protect it then?

Ben Hargis

Portland and Ted Wheeler has failed to protect the citizens and businesses. After the protesters burn it to the ground I don't want them here next.

Russell T Stanage

Thank God for Trump and the Feds!!!

Aaron Walden

Someone needs to take action and obviously the mayor and state leadership isn’t.

me me

Leaders Ted Wheeler, Kate Brown and Wyden are ruining our city.They let riots, looters and terrorists run our city.We need help,what about our rights and the rights of our Police.STAY arrest them all!

Steven Huillet

Until these rioters stop destroying property they need to stay and throw all them in prison!

Felix Pressler

This is not peaceful protest, but absolute anarchy trying to change total government with far left control; mayor & governor don't care about the property damage& citizen welbeing

Kimmy Wasatch

Portland is burning and the city , state officials are letting it happen while hamstringing the police. This is NOT the Presidents fault.

Biden needs to open the keystone pipeline and resume oil exploration

Paul Owen

The strategic oil reserves are for times like this. We should also keep an eye on the oil companies and make sure they are not making extreme profits off the backs of the American citizens. After all that petroleum is being pumped from American taxpayers land that has been leased to these oil co.

Gabe West

Biden needs to resume oil exploration and open the keystone pipeline

Greg Moore

No, the reserve is not for time like this, it is for times when we don't have oil available. We do have oil available now, and a LOT of oil available. It is just that Biden (and pseudo-environmentalists) don't want us to use it.

Nik Myles

The US shouldn't be relying on foreign sources of energy when we have more than enough to be energy independent again. We were energy independent just over one year ago. But that ended on day one of this administration.

Steven Huillet

Absolutely! Prices are way too high! Just another attempt of oil companies taking advantage of a big situation like in the 1970's.

Gabe West

Bide the keystone pipeline and resume oil exploration

Greg Moore

Explain why oil companies would not provide as much oil as possible at a time when prices are sky high. No, the prices are high due to speculation of shortage, given Biden's refusal to open up the spigot (the oil leases he claimed unused are not proven, exploration still necessary. ANWAR is KNOWN

Loretta Jones

Price is getting ridiculous. Average working person can't afford commuting to and from work.

We may need our reserves for war before this is over. Increase supply and lower costs by reversing Biden's orders and policies. https://americansforprosperity.org/biden-policies-raising-gas-prices/?fbclid=IwAR3jOvKpxrWnyT1iz2JrBflODu-aV7aHZdj_B4JgTndUI-8XFvAwXp3M1Jw

David Tucker

Absolutely not. Oil prices (and therefore gas prices) would drop dramatically if Congress would just reverse the disastrous executive orders Biden has put into effect restricting U.S. oil production.

Greg Moore

Why tap into a reserve that is meant for when Oil is unavailable? We have plenty of oil available, it is just that irrational environmentalists don't want us to use it: https://www.realclearenergy.org/articles/2022/03/07/greenpeace_environmentalism_allowed_putin_to_invade_ukraine_820399.html

Ben Hargis

Don't waste the reserves......open the keyst one pipeline, increase production and exploration in the West

John Philo

OPEN THE KEYSTONE PIPELINE!

These letters allow people who can't financially compete with investors the opportunity to stand out.

Rob Mozz

It's your property, you should be able to use whatever information you want to decide the sale. Say I'd rather sell my property to a local family instead of a corporate developer that should be my choice.

Sussie Due

Yes they should. That is how I sold a piece of real estate I had. Happened four years ago. Was given a higher offer from a developer but I went with the people that sent me the letter. I was able to pick who was going to live next door to me. Have never regreted it. They are the best neighbors!

k san

Why not???

Ben Hargis

Who cares? How is it not fair? Anyone can write a letter. Just another issue liberal politicians waste time and money on.

Robert Northrup

We have a Democrat controlled legislature that thinks it should have total control over our lives even to the extent of taking away our freedom of speech.
