The Quiet Hero Keeping Portland Blooming in the Midst of All the Insanity

It's been one of those days, so I thought I'd try to end on a twisted bit of a high note.

Twisted because, well... it's Portland and that city is filled with these people who are vicious freaks who have been entirely too busy lately.

Antifa and their inbred cousins, the Trantifa, are mad as hornets about Trump.

Or not really. Trump's just the latest excuse to do what they always did - destroy stuff that didn't belong to them and try to hurt people.

The federal officers these goons have been preying on and attacking for years now are at last unleashed to go after them and, once they've nailed them, arrest and prosecute.

About frickin' time.

Machete-wielding Trantifa member face-plants while trying to escape at Portland riot, faces felony federal charge

On June 24, 2025, a Portland Trantifa militant confronted federal agents outside an ICE facility with a machete before being tased and face-planting to the ground while attempting to escape.

“Julie Mikela Winters,” real name Christopher M. Hudson (b. September 1978), was held in the county jail on a federal hold pending charges. His case was unsealed on June 26. Court documents provide context to Winters’ alleged violent criminal actions before his arrest.

“At approximately 11:15pm, FPS officers observed an individual attempting to light an incendiary device next to the guard shack of the ICE building,” wrote an FBI agent in the criminal complaint. “The individual was later identified as Julie WINTERS. WINTERS backed away from the guard shack towards the trolley track. FPS officers engaged WINTERS for attempting to light the incendiary device. As WINTERS reached the street, she reached into her backpack and pulled out a large knife, approximately 1 foot in length, with a curved blade.”

The affidavit says that Winters threw the blade toward an officer’s head but he was able to dodge it narrowly. Video, shown above, captured Winters hurling something at an officer. Other videos captured after Winter's arrest show federal agents returning to the area, which is directly adjacent to an elementary school, to search for evidence on the ground and in the bushes. The affidavit says officers were able to find the machete.

He seems nice.

And he's only one of the crowd.

They've been besieging the federal courthouse for almost a month now, blasting music late into the night in a sorry rehash of the 2017 serenading of Manuel Noriega's compound. Our federal officers are made of sterner stuff.

However the poor folks who live around courthouse aren't, and one dear lady who had had EE-NUFF came out to rip the petualnt thugs new butts one night on behalf of her neighbors and their sanity.

She lit them UP, God bless her, in a fiery blue cloud of NSFW language they could understand.

And in answer, the miserable punk monkeys jacked the volume even more.

Violence, filth, noise - the Portland mayor, council and police have allowed these cretins free run of what was once a small city with a funky, fairy-tale aura (Ever watch the series Grimm? All filmed there). The resident and her neighbors want Trump to send in the National Guard and anybody else he thinks is necessary.

Katie Daviscourt has been fearlessly documenting and monitoring the ongoing domestic occupation of the downtown and federal attempts to begin to break it.

 And I noticed one thing in a tweet of hers the other day.

...This is the controversial apartment unit that has been opened up to individuals involved with the ongoing occupation so Antifa can continue protesting against ICE.

The beautiful flower baskets seem so incongruous against the ugliness of the people under them.

Wouldn't you know, I was lucky enough that my comment was answered by the very lady who'd so fearlessly confronted Antifa that night over their obscene and unrelenting sound assault. 

She told me the most amazing story, and it made me smile.

Then she sent me just the best picture of the dedicated and intrepid Master of the Baskets, himself, going about his business.

Watering everyone, blessedly Antifa-free this time.

I thought that was such a serene moment in the midst of so much insanity. Honestly, it's almost surreal.

But it's awfully nice.

Stay safe, Master of the Baskets.

And to dear Miss Numerarch - I pray your peace and quiet return quickly.

You be careful out there. 

People like you are too few and far between.
