Yikes: 49-Year-Old Stripper Running for Portland Mayor

by | Feb 29, 2024 | Aggregate

A 49-year-old stripper who performs under the name “Viva Las Vegas” is running for mayor in Portland, Oregon.

The middle-aged exotic dancer, whose real name is Liv Osthus, has no experience in governance but takes her clothes off for cash at a strip club called Mary’s in Portland.

When asked by Willamette Week what she would say to older Portlanders who might balk at electing a stripper mayor, Osthus said she would invite them to watch her strip.

“If the stripper thing is so damning, they could watch my TED Talk, or read the book, or watch the movie,” Osthus said. “Strippers are amazingly strong, graceful human beings inside and out. I would invite them into Mary’s to let me change their minds.”

Osthus also claims that her 27 years of stripping prepared her for politics by giving her experience listening and connecting to people.

Asked, “What managerial experience can you point to?” Osthus replied, “I have none, and the team I’m pulling together will be the people who guide me on that.”

Willamette Week notes, “She’s well known in the Portland arts world as an outspoken sex workers’ advocate as well as a published author, writer and musician. After graduating from Williams College in 1997, she moved to Portland to pursue her music career, and soon after began stripping. She’s been dancing ever since, often on the stage at Mary’s Club.”

Osthus is running against three of the five sitting city commissioners.

Defense Secretary Austin Begs Congress for Forgiveness after His Unauthorized Absence from Work – But Refuses to Forgive Military Members Who Refused COVID Vax (VIDEO)

 Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) Grills Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin during House hearing.

Biden’s formerly AWOL Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin testified before the House Armed Services Committee Thursday about why it took him so long to notify the president, Congress and the public about his hospitalization and stay in the intensive care unit after complications from prostate cancer surgery.

Austin deserted his post for several days without notifying his superiors about his whereabouts. This is a violation of his oath and it took place as the elites in Washington DC ramped up their war rhetoric with Russia and sent more military personnel to the Middle East to deal with the latest conflicts.

During his testimony, Secretary Austin begged for forgiveness for his surprise disappearance. But Austin had no forgiveness for the 8,600 service members who he kicked out of the military for not taking the COVID Vaccine.

REP. MATT GAETZ: “Now that you see how personal medical decisions are, will you call for the re-recruitment, restoration of full rank and back pay for the 8,600 service members who were vax-mandated out of the military?”

SECRETARY AUSTIN: “No, I won’t.”

They need to impeach this clown. One botched lost war was bad enough.
