The greatest skill of radical leftists is their ability to ignore the obvious and focus on the asinine.
Portland is burning. It seems like we’ve used that lead-in at least half-a-dozen times regarding the Oregon city, but the flames just won’t be extinguished. Between literal fires burning around them and Antifa-BLM riots causing anarchy in downtown, the city is a shell of what it was and may be beyond recovery thanks in large part to the feckless policies of Mayor Ted Wheeler.
Talk show host Todd Herman noted the disconnect between Wheeler and the reality of his city in a Twitter response to Wheeler’s calls for fighting “light pollution.”
Tonight, Portlanders are encouraged to dim or turn off their lights for "Lights Out Portland." Light pollution can be harmful to humans, plants and other animals including the birds who are beginning their migration. Thanks @PortlandAudubon for your advocacy and leadership.

As bad as Ted Wheeler is, his mayoral election opponent is a full-blown Antifa supporter. The city must choose between a feckless radical and a dangerous extremist. To those who haven’t left Portland yet, the time is now.
