The commissioners did not respond to questions about whether they plan to follow up on the letter sent to the Jamestown Tribe last August, which has gone unanswered.
Here is today's email to the commissioners:
Dear Commissioners,
Welcome back. After a week of skipped meetings, I was hoping to get a few key updates from the Board.
First, has the County heard whether the requested 30-day extension has been granted regarding the Bureau of Indian Affairs deadline to respond to the latest Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe request to transfer additional land into tribal trust?
If the extension is granted, has the County already drafted a response letter, and is that response prepared for Board review and submission?
Second, has the Board given further consideration to the requests surrounding the Dungeness Spit and Protection Island National Wildlife Refuges?
As you know, the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe has sought support regarding transferring the refuges into tribal control or co-management, while many members of the public have separately urged the Commissioners to support continued public ownership, public access, and federal management of the refuges.
Has the Board discussed whether it intends to submit any formal position or letter regarding keeping the refuges public?
As soon as we were done with our hike, swaddled in Patagonia, REI and merino wool, we stopped by to see you and Jake at the logging show. There sure was some exciting activity at your tent. Good level-headed discussions people were having with Jake and you, people wanting to contribute to the campaign, and signs flying out to be posted wherever. Hopefully you get a great turnout today.
I keep noticing a continual increase in new names here as well whether in comments or likes.
1. Seeks to eliminate social classes and create a classless society.
Wrong, they seek a ruling class with previously oppressed liberal elites at the top.
2. Emphasizes the importance of social welfare, equality, and cooperation.
Wrong again. European Colonizers have been excluded from the equation. The Democrats under Biden had total control. When Trump left my SSA PPO plan included $225 in food. When Biden left it went down to $ 70. Trump came back in and it went to $130 in January. Their importance is the government positions not manageable down and distance. Cooperation. I saw how much they cooperated with the Jimmycomelately science battle...there was no cooperation. They just rule.
3. No person should be reduced to the level of an animal.
They have piled "animals" in front of the liberty bell, Tumwater creek,,,every other creek, in RV's, trailers cars.
They would pay themselves 200 grand to pile their animals up for everyone to see. The living wage ruling class makes 3 times as much as Collen says we need to make when she is drinking coffee.
So. Even under Socialisms own terms they have failed.
All they have is greedy self serving Union and tribal altruism.
No John, they were NEVER OPPRESSED! They see a formula to become the ruling class and stomp their boot on everyone else's neck exactly like all the other Socialist societies.
An animal that attacks innocent humans is adressed much differently than a domesticated housepet. Predators with doccumented attacks on children just need a smile and some clean needles
Loni's comments are pure Oppression Olympics. She has grown up with everything she has ever needed yet pushes the oppression model as cause for an ill advised plan.
The Dungeness salmon population could not withstand her vision of shellfish sugar plumbs. More birds would not only come but stay longer to feast on all the salmon that are exposed to the lower levels thanks to DRMT mismanagement. Oppressed tribal members will have to add killing birds to their stewardship that already shoots seals...
Socialism and Communism alleges altruism but this bunch has no problem leaving out European colonizers or white males. Then dissent of any color or culture is also left out.
Its been boiled down long ago. Capitalism has CEO's. Communism has oligarchs. The main difference is that Communism's oligarchs are "royalty" factions that preserve historic bloodlines or just plain savages that everybody is afraid of so they let them be a de facto oligarch.
America's Communist hybrid is a union/mob system. Those people interrupting the Katie Wilson media interviews, are the union handlers. its nice to see the government doesn't quite control all the media yet. In a Communist country Chris Daniel's would have been shot. I think the line has been drawn here. Its ok to be union so working conditions are not inhumane and workers get a fair wage, but its not ok because its not working when union thugs try to run things because in fact Atlas does shrug and when push came to shove he did. Bezos is gone, Schultz is gone. and any future Atlas sees the writing on the wall.
John Curley said he voted for Katie Wilson, not because of her politics but because he wanted everyone to see socialism fail. Well Curley, first of all you were already in a socialism system for the last 20 years because the United Nations Bush and Obama set it up in NGO's like the NODC.
Second of all it had already failed America has been coming in third for 26 years.. Gee thanks for letting the failed political lab keep going.
At least they allowed us to look at Bill Benedict flying his airplane, or Rod Fleck coming to us live in Forks. Then we got to see how much Paul Pickett resembled a Goblin.
Good morning fellow Patriots, I am absolutely loving this NPR interview, we are gaining notoriety all over the place even though they had somebody commenting against what we’re fighting for they writing is on the wall and everybody knows it! I saw Jeff and Jake yesterday afternoon and got 2 more signs and fixed the one that I had in my front yard.
I told Jake and Jeff that the next time they have a no Kings rally I’m putting the two extra signs that I got on my car and I’m driving up and down. I feel it’s safer that way than standing on a street corner opposing them. I encourage anybody who has a time should do that as well. Now I understand I know some people can’t and some people are nervous about being docked, but I don’t care. I’m gonna do it and I’m gonna film it! Have a wonderful weekend everyone! Go Jake Seegers, ccwatchdog and Calamity Jen!
Yeah, I know who this guy is. Thanks for the heads up. I appreciate you looking out for me. Although I have a CC permit, I will not carry my gun, but I will carry pepper spray yet bear spray!!
This is a very sad yet excellent Watchdog edition, Patriot Jeff Tozzer!
It is understandable that people who find their personal opinions being successfully challenged by facts and common-sense logic, usually become embarrassed when they can no longer deny what really should have been obvious to them in the first place. Most people who suddenly find themselves in that uncomfortable position become quickly angry and refuse to admit their mistake because their egos are far greater than their Intelligence and any sense of honor and respectability that they may or may not have. This is unfortunately a VERY common "human condition", and I suppose a sad "natural"? response from Individuals who are in the lowest ranks of the Intellectual crowd. I know from my lifelong observations and real-life experiences that MANY in this intellectually sub-standard class of Individuals really do understand that they are not the "brightest bulbs" in the pack, so they often make great efforts to basically work the corrupt system to "fake it"~! Some actually do work hard in their desperate attempt to build the image that they are more Intelligent than they really are, by becoming financially successful to some degree. MANY fall prey to the societal illusion that graduating college somehow "proves" that they are more Intelligent than others, but it actually ends up proving them to be quite the opposite in real life~! Unfortunately, tragically, most Americans can now see that by simply sending children to college in what has been a fanatical hysteria based upon the old demonstrable lie that "college graduates make more than those who do not attend college" a great many of these young college graduate are no more employable then they were as high school graduates~! The most common phrases of most of these sad victims of our societies lies are; "Socialism can work!" and "do you want fries with that?". Then, there are the truly dedicated social criminals who know damn well that they have very Intentionally adopted personal positions of lies and deceit, usually for what they believe is self-aggrandizing purposes. Money! This range of social criminals includes those who simply gamed the system by finding paid positions where actual performance and useful productivity is not required, as it is in the real world of business, often in politics & government jobs where the standards are rock bottom as long as you can pass the simple tests. This class of habitual slackers and crooks goes all the way down into the wretched criminal abyss of humanity where most taxpayers are now starting to understand that the "criminal welfare frauds" who make a living stealing taxpayer funds when they can actually work but prefer a life of criminal behavior robbing from those who really do need the assistance, grotesquely outnumber the folks in true need~! When "we" are presented with the disgusting eye sore of the "no kings" clown show that is SO blatantly hypocritical and only ANOTHER socialist trick to hide their true agenda of Installing THEIR "kings and queens", we are actually looking at our own taxpayer dollars that have been (in one way or another) robbed from us by these very same scumbags from the ranks of those that I just described. How many politicians and superfluous (completely useless & unnecessary) government workers, criminal welfare frauds, low life street criminals, and failed "college students" are in these fake and phony socialist street corner rants, that are demanding the destruction of our community, cherished country, and "us" as free and Independent hard-working Americans~? I like this Jon Redmond fool "signaling" his REAL IQ level, and "we" should ask ourselves if we would buy a car from someone like that or entrust our children to the likes of this kind of Individual? Why on earth would we even remotely consider following his political agenda in any way, and then expect anything to turn out well??? Personally, I still have to admit that the little, tiny red robed Hobgoblins at the small "no kings" street corner rants in Sequim are absolutely hilarious and I REALLY love to laugh at them~! For me that is "truth in advertising" that informs, delights the senses, and GREATLY amuses me no end, much like the circus did when it came into town when I was a child! Good stuff :)
All "we" need to do is pay attention to what the "usual suspect" losers are trying to pull and then listen to the thoughts of the good folks here who come to the table with good Intentions~! Reasonable folks always make the effort to work reasonably together. The rotten apples almost always reveal their bad Intentions quickly in some way, because they can't hide from their own evil inner self~! We can support each other to honor our differing opinions without flying off of the handle and falling apart, especially when we appreciate each other's rights and what we have to offer ;-) Considering everything is a beautiful process where honorable Americans of good Intentions can accomplish just about anything~! That is just one of the things that have made America a great country and we now have a golden opportunity to kick these "rotten apples" to the curb so we can work on our true potential as a country and people ;-) None of us is "perfect" but just look at what "we" (Americans) have accomplished, and in the face of a terrible evil that has always tried to destroy and kill us~!
Haha, I kind of panicked earlier in the week but forgot how much time I had yesterday before the Logging Show. And Jake has a great "Sundays With Seegers" ready for tomorrow, so I did not need to worry. I even found time to do my hair this morning :)
WHAT’S EXACTLY AT STAKE WITH THE WILDLIFE REFUGE TRANSFER AND PRIVATE LANDS BOUGHT OR MANAGED BY THE JAMESTOWN S’KLALLAM TRIBE?
If JST acquires more and more public land, co-manages, or have federal arrangements or buys up private land, will local input even matter? NO!
IT COMES DOWN TO THE “S” WORD...SOVEREIGN
If tribes can buy land anywhere or “manage land” they can declare themselves immune to lawsuits and individuals have no means of asserting their rights should a property dispute arise.
“...The court held that the Tribe had SOVEREIGN IMMUNITY and could not be sued in quiet title lawsuits, even if the disputed land had never previously been part of a reservation...”
THE MOST IGNORANT AND LOFTY STATEMENT I HAVE EVER READ. IT IS NOT ONLY INSULTING BUT DOWNGRADING TO ANYONE WHO DOESN'T HAVE THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF NATIVE BLOOD QUANTUM
“If we're able to remove some of that less-local control from us, we are able to care for the land more deeply and, I WOULD SAY, MORE CORRECTLY because we are here and we know the land. We're intimate with it,” said Jamestown S’Klallam Tribal Vice Chair Loni Greninger.
Many of us locals have our blood, sweat and absolute passion in this land we call home, nutured and enjoyed for generations; time immemorial, of Indian blood from non-local tribes/nations, yet do not feel a need to "remove" our brother and sisters, no matter their heritage or lineage, so long as they are here legally, and productively, not as a parasitic drain.
There is so much to be learned and applied from history, ancestry and cultures, but living in the past is not a constructive takeaway. Human technology has provided living conveniences that none of us would be willing to forfeit. Please do reconcile the JST progeny of today's casino, fuel, alcohol, tobacco and cannabis businesses with their inherent superior land management skills. JST members are no better land stewards than any other citizens. The imagined idealist land management often attributed to indigenous peoples was not of their creation. Pristine land is land not overpopulated by humans, regardless of culture, ancestry or ethnicity. There is a win / win in this land ownership transfer euphoria. All those favoring gifting land to the JST can gift their personal homes and property to the JST. Then both desires are satisfied in addition to the current owners of the land not having it taken from them. When faced with walking that talk with their personal land I'm confident this give the Spit to the tribe altruism will fade. OK for thee, but not for me.
So much to process in the article, Jeff. I still haven't seen proof that the JST is inherently better at being stewards of the land than any other ethnic group or race. Based on their logic, I could claim I am English royalty and all must bow before me. Would the same people who don't question the JST's claims of superiority bow before me, or would they question my claim and demand proof?... I appreciate the picture of Jon. Now I know what to expect when I see him in public. Why so many selfies, Jon? Have fun at the logging show!
Denise, Jon's middle finger is his claim to fame, it's in most of his selfies. It's not very photogenic, he needs to visit Madge and soak his hands in Palmolive dishwashing liquid. (he can even use it to wash his mouth out)
Joseph Bell has been a dangerous transient sex offender haunting PA and living off taxpayers for at least 6 years. He has extreme paranoia and believes himself a "targeted individual." During the covid shutdowns he was in a motel room funded by covid era assistance programs that put people in rooms that couldn't go to the TWO shelters in PA. He spent his time posting crazy rants about being "gangstalked" and how he "understands why people shoot up a whole grocery store." I tried to report to non emergency out of concern for hotel staff who are not paid mental health workers and the response was pretty dismissive, but a few days later he was booked for assault. He's been booked for assault at least a couple times if not more but never seems to face charges. Be cautious if you see him in Walmart or Safeway, since he has expressed empathy for mass shooters. Bell is also a good example of who hangs out around Tree Park while their "collective" drives in from their estates in east county to pass out drug supplies in the park and lecture PA workers and families about how these lowlife's just need a smile and some clean needles.
Wait until a wildfire comes barreling down the Elwha valley, headed for the LEKT reservation. Betcha they throw down a temporary bridge at the washout and clear Olympic Hot Springs Road really fast so emergency vehicles can get up there.
The narrative needn't be true or accurate, only that it resonates with the audience. This is the basis of propaganda, with many so wrapped up in emotions, as opposed to reality, that they have become known as "useful idiots." I find it somewhat entertaining to observe the passion that regimes instill in otherwise benign, though meadering, people who repeat what they are told (out of context), yet have no point of reference, nor accountability to their burden of proof. Protestors are a prime example when asked what, exactly, they are protesting, deferring to their training prior to relocating for a protest; they are imported to areas such as the Olympic Peninsula to avoid being recognized if they forget to pull up their masks. I find daily situations as examples of the quote that I often assert because it is true, and has been proved to be very effective during the former Third Reich, which the current regime pretends to abhor and "resist", yet emulates, while depending on ignorant, useful idiots; repeating history. There are so many levels of management in the quest join us all as one in Socialism; it's a process, an evolution, not a revolution, in traditional terms. The nefarious planning, training, and information sharing unknown to the majority, being carried out behind closed doors, and personal social media platforms are the reasons that elections and levies are miraculously won in the 11th and a half hour with ballots found, or misplaced, to be dicovered when it is too late for recourse. The current proposals of land transfers involving the Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge, et al. fall into that category as well; quietly including the Dungeness Recreation Area, formerly known as The Voice of America site, being that JKT owns the former KOA campground on Highway 101, and is already expanding that facility. Jake Seegers is going to have his hands full, and will require committed resident Citizens to support his platform and agendas moving forward into planning, O &M, management/quashing of policies already established, and daily ops of Clallam County business. Jake will be an extention of us and our voices, assuring that constituents concerns are weighed with careful consideration, not a pre-established agenda, as currently stands. Everyone has a part in this quest for equitable treatment of all, be it financial, "part of the team", communication with our legislators, governor, and any other government that works for the People. Our Republic is one, yet we are all individuals, first, and foremost, a formidable force when joined in common. Thank you all, who contribute in some form or fashion; together, we stand.
Timothy, you said a lot, especially when you wrote, “Jake will be an extention of us and our voices, assuring that constituents concerns are weighed with careful consideration, not a pre-established agenda, as currently stands.”
Face it, Jake is the Underdog. It will be a herculean battle to place Jake in with the Bigdogs and their political and money backed pack leaders.
The smug and dismissive attitudes of our current public officials, who are just heads behind desks and meeting tables, has become so apparent to even the casual Clallam County Voter, it could very well be their downfall. Nobody pays attention until you hit them in the wallet. The wallet has been hit. Everyone is talking about how they are being hit...metering wells is a biggy that I know lost votes for the Bigdogs. Placing ever increasing building permits and fees for the simplest of homeowners projects is a biggy. Increasing county taxes on business, big and small is a biggy… in other words, we have all been hit one way or another! All the small voices of complaints are are becoming a roar.
So, Jake will be an extension of us and our voices! The underdog is becoming a howl that can’t be ignored. I believe we have a very good chance to get Jake Seegers elected.
The working class volunteers pull weeds while the connected institutions accumulate wealth, land, influence, and government partnerships. ----- There it is JKT Corp. is just another Corp.

Good For You Evrita! It will keep you out of harms ways, especially from the likes of people like jon redmond...he's one nasty fellow.
I have blocked him on anything I am still "on" but it is good to see a photo and know to stay clear.

Jeff, if this is you taking it easy because you’re at the logging show, then I would hire you in a hot minute! Excellent article and excellent points.

Whoohoo!
WHAT’S EXACTLY AT STAKE WITH THE WILDLIFE REFUGE TRANSFER AND PRIVATE LANDS BOUGHT OR MANAGED BY THE JAMESTOWN S’KLALLAM TRIBE?
If JST acquires more and more public land, co-manages, or have federal arrangements or buys up private land, will local input even matter? NO!
IT COMES DOWN TO THE “S” WORD...SOVEREIGN
If tribes can buy land anywhere or “manage land” they can declare themselves immune to lawsuits and individuals have no means of asserting their rights should a property dispute arise.
https://pacificlegal.org/case/flying-t-ranch-quiet-title-court-access/
“...The court held that the Tribe had SOVEREIGN IMMUNITY and could not be sued in quiet title lawsuits, even if the disputed land had never previously been part of a reservation...”
The Tribes practices a SOVEREIGN SOCIALISM. We pay, they gain, they acquire ever increasing SOVEREIGN POWER.
That's retribution for ya....
THE MOST IGNORANT AND LOFTY STATEMENT I HAVE EVER READ. IT IS NOT ONLY INSULTING BUT DOWNGRADING TO ANYONE WHO DOESN'T HAVE THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF NATIVE BLOOD QUANTUM
“If we're able to remove some of that less-local control from us, we are able to care for the land more deeply and, I WOULD SAY, MORE CORRECTLY because we are here and we know the land. We're intimate with it,” said Jamestown S’Klallam Tribal Vice Chair Loni Greninger.

Hey, you're pretty good at this, Jennifer, and is noted and appreciated.
There is so much to be learned and applied from history, ancestry and cultures, but living in the past is not a constructive takeaway. Human technology has provided living conveniences that none of us would be willing to forfeit. Please do reconcile the JST progeny of today's casino, fuel, alcohol, tobacco and cannabis businesses with their inherent superior land management skills.

Pristine land is land not overpopulated by humans, regardless of culture, ancestry or ethnicity. There is a win / win in this land ownership transfer euphoria. All those favoring gifting land to the JST can gift their personal homes and property to the JST. Then both desires are satisfied in addition to the current owners of the land not having it taken from them. When faced with walking that talk with their personal land I'm confident this give the Spit to the tribe altruism will fade. OK for thee, but not for me.
So much to process in the article, Jeff. I still haven't seen proof that the JST is inherently better at being stewards of the land than any other ethnic group or race. Based on their logic, I could claim I am English royalty and all must bow before me. Would the same people who don't question the JST's claims of superiority bow before me, or would they question my claim and demand proof?... I appreciate the picture of Jon. Now I know what to expect when I see him in public. Why so many selfies, Jon? Have fun at the logging show!
Denise, Jon's middle finger is his claim to fame, it's in most of his selfies. It's not very photogenic, he needs to visit Madge and soak his hands in Palmolive dishwashing liquid. (he can even use it to wash his mouth out)
And a Calgon bath!! 😂
Love it, Jennifer!!
Joseph Bell has been a dangerous transient sex offender haunting PA and living off taxpayers for at least 6 years. He has extreme paranoia and believes himself a "targeted individual." During the covid shutdowns he was in a motel room funded by covid era assistance programs that put people in rooms that couldn't go to the TWO shelters in PA. He spent his time posting crazy rants about being "gangstalked" and how he "understands why people shoot up a whole grocery store." I tried to report to non emergency out of concern for hotel staff who are not paid mental health workers and the response was pretty dismissive, but a few days later he was booked for assault. He's been booked for assault at least a couple times if not more but never seems to face charges. Be cautious if you see him in Walmart or Safeway, since he has expressed empathy for mass shooters. Bell is also a good example of who hangs out around Tree Park while their "collective" drives in from their estates in east county to pass out drug supplies in the park and lecture PA workers and families about how these lowlife's just need a smile and some clean needles.
Wait until a wildfire comes barreling down the Elwha valley, headed for the LEKT reservation. Betcha they throw down a temporary bridge at the washout and clear Olympic Hot Springs Road really fast so emergency vehicles can get up there.
SomeSome, and then we all pay for the disaster. I'm getting tired of picking up the bills for parasitic entities (including NGO's)....
"exploiting the hospitality of others : depending on another or others for existence or support without making a useful or adequate return"
The narrative needn't be true or accurate, only that it resonates with the audience. This is the basis of propaganda, with many so wrapped up in emotions, as opposed to reality, that they have become known as "useful idiots." I find it somewhat entertaining to observe the passion that regimes instill in otherwise benign, though meadering, people who repeat what they are told (out of context), yet have no point of reference, nor accountability to their burden of proof. Protestors are a prime example when asked what, exactly, they are protesting, deferring to their training prior to relocating for a protest; they are imported to areas such as the Olympic Peninsula to avoid being recognized if they forget to pull up their masks. I find daily situations as examples of the quote that I often assert because it is true, and has been proved to be very effective during the former Third Reich, which the current regime pretends to abhor and "resist", yet emulates, while depending on ignorant, useful idiots; repeating history. There are so many levels of management in the quest join us all as one in Socialism; it's a process, an evolution, not a revolution, in traditional terms. The nefarious planning, training, and information sharing unknown to the majority, being carried out behind closed doors, and personal social media platforms are the reasons that elections and levies are miraculously won in the 11th and a half hour with ballots found, or misplaced, to be dicovered when it is too late for recourse. The current proposals of land transfers involving the Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge, et al. fall into that category as well; quietly including the Dungeness Recreation Area, formerly known as The Voice of America site, being that JKT owns the former KOA campground on Highway 101, and is already expanding that facility. Jake Seegers is going to have his hands full, and will require committed resident Citizens to support his platform and agendas moving forward into planning, O &M, management/quashing of policies already established, and daily ops of Clallam County business. Jake will be an extention of us and our voices, assuring that constituents concerns are weighed with careful consideration, not a pre-established agenda, as currently stands. Everyone has a part in this quest for equitable treatment of all, be it financial, "part of the team", communication with our legislators, governor, and any other government that works for the People. Our Republic is one, yet we are all individuals, first, and foremost, a formidable force when joined in common. Thank you all, who contribute in some form or fashion; together, we stand.
Timothy, you said a lot, especially when you wrote, “Jake will be an extention of us and our voices, assuring that constituents concerns are weighed with careful consideration, not a pre-established agenda, as currently stands.”
Face it, Jake is the Underdog. It will be a herculean battle to place Jake in with the Bigdogs and their political and money backed pack leaders.
The smug and dismissive attitudes of our current public officials, who are just heads behind desks and meeting tables, has become so apparent to even the casual Clallam County Voter, it could very well be their downfall. Nobody pays attention until you hit them in the wallet. The wallet has been hit. Everyone is talking about how they are being hit...metering wells is a biggy that I know lost votes for the Bigdogs. Placing ever increasing building permits and fees for the simplest of homeowners projects is a biggy. Increasing county taxes on business, big and small is a biggy… in other words, we have all been hit one way or another! All the small voices of complaints are are becoming a roar.
So, Jake will be an extension of us and our voices! The underdog is becoming a howl that can’t be ignored. I believe we have a very good chance to get Jake Seegers elected.
My challenge to League of Women Voters and local Indivisible groups.
So we understand you want Mike French to stay. We ALL have seen his track record on both city council and commissioners boards.
Sell him without besmirching Jake
What are his values?
What is his stance on taxes?
How does he see the County now compared to 4 years ago?
What is his agenda on affordable housing?
Does he believe in accountability?
That is just to start.
His claim to fame "I show up"
Of course he shows up! We saw his calendar for the month. He is going to the OlyCAP anniversary, and also the PBH gala this weekend.
We only need to walk through central PA on Saturday morning to SEE the answers
