I remember well, a conversation I had with an acquaintance after Obama was first elected.

The man was upset about the kind of happiness that he was EXPECTED to have, simply BECAUSE of his similar racial color, AND that he's gay. He shared with me some of the reasons that he did NOT vote for Obama, but dared not say to those who celebrated him.

I think about his plight whenever I see the kind of pressure to conform to the expectations of others that happens every election season. Independent voters are the coveted prize by both parties, but how they go after them tells more about themselves than some want known.

Jake Seegers brought a common appeal that both Independent and Republican voters found vote-worthy.

Mike French brought the kind of appeal that only Blue-NO-Matter-Who voters could agree with.

The results were somewhat easy to see in our election tally.

Jake came well within range of making Mike worry about this first-timer taking the Commissioner seat he had held for time unmemorable.

Dems did their damnedous to turn opinions their way. They HAD to make Jake out to be villainous, because they could NOT make Mike look and sound virtuous.

Plague of Indivisible (nonpartisan, lol) activists, NEVER recognized ANYTHING that Seegers said, or did, as worth respecting AT ALL!!!

Great work by the Watchdog and Cat Club communities helped Jake be heard beyond what the controlled media could restrain!

The LWV have gone against the will of the voters. We voted to exclude trans athletes from girls sports. Now they are suing the state to overturn the outcome of the initiative. It is amazing how they preach about democracy then CANT stand it when they lose. They should be sued for their lies about being non partisan. A bunch of old women that have gone WOKE!

Robert James's avatar

They all have comfy state pensions and are completely brainwashed out of common sense and reality! And they are ACTIVATED! They are NOT the majority! They are radicalized extremists, completely unhinged, and they ARE a direct danger to society!😵‍💫

I am sick to death of retirees with nicer rural homes in Sequim bragging about their govt pensions and telling me everything.in PA is fine. Pass out needles at your own damn park!

That Seattle mayor! UGH!

May her be bad! She is the death of Seattle.

That's the whole point. Systems being destroyed from within...

That mayor and Dr. Bury, together, forever....

WOKE is now the mindless tunnel vision. It’s mindless radicalism. Someone ought to tell them they are a cult of the clueless.

More crime, more filthy streets, more lies, more sorrow. Mike French's dream come true. Now the Commissioners are off to a WASAC conference on Tuesday and Wednesday, so the BoCC meeting is canceled resulting in combining it to Monday's work session. Budget issues and TIP will be discussed. Also, Public Comment on Action Items is on the agenda for Monday's work session starting at 9:00 am.

It's good to have you, Jeff, and CCWD back!

All these hearings are just theater for them to do what they have already decided. We did a deed trasfer on our home about a month ago. I heard a fee increase passed last week in a hearing and realized I had paid the "new" amount before that.

CAS's avatar

And keep in mind, the document fees we pay go to programs like the safe Parking. So looks like OLYCAP got a big pay increase for their funding, which French sits on the board of OLYCAP.

Riding the wave of chaos! The Kommissars! Communism disguised as socialism...Corporatism...They ARE the enemy!😵‍💫

They used treaty money from BIA and bogarted our local money to do the land grab under their willing seller willing buyer model. Its a paper trail that is easy to follow. I need to make boards and rent the libraries to do a tour of the exhibits. They cut me off of background screens and I should have brought my black finger in already.

It's a welfare system on steroids gone wild. Look what our money just bought for the Tribe! We lost some of the most beautiful land to never get back. Not to mention the logging rights

And, many 'locals' are pumping their money into the tribal land-grab system...no one to blame but themselves!😵‍💫

Poulsbo has signs at corners that read:

“GIVE A BETTER WAY! SAY NO TO PANHANDLING!

Please, refrain from giving to panhandlers. For a lasting impact give to North Kitsap Recovery Resouce Center. Together we can make a real difference. “

There is also a QR code that links to that org.

However, zero chance our city leaders would approve this sign

Susie Blake's avatar

Even Aberdeen has an anti panhandling ordinace. PA seems determinded to beat Aberdeen in a race to rock bottom.

Jennifer's avatar

Aberdeen?!!! It went rock bottom when the lumber industry failed. Driving through there is nothing but dirt and empty stores. I'm sure at one time it was inviting. Is that a look at our future? At least they are one step ahead with an anti panhandling ordinance. I want anti commissioners ordinance signs on every corner until we get rid of the three amigos.

Scott, whoever decided to put up those signs has better sense than our commissioners! It's not a problem to them or for them.

The neighbors who warned about this in 2020 were brushed off. It turns out they were right. ------- What do you know. When you don't examine the facts but just do what you are told.

Denise Lapio's avatar

Or, you have to pass it (the legislation) to see what's in it. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), former Speaker of the House. A total con.

As a former “Rock Climber” -

Most climbers I know respect the lands and the rock. My son’s father a weekly climber and former park ranger- he loves the land-and keeps it.

This land is repurposed over and over-

It belongs to me and to you.

Enough is enough.

Blunt in your face article Jeff.👊🏻🙌🏻

Do you think people are waking up to the smell of corruption?

-In the schools?

-In the Hospital?

-With the Tribe land base tax issue and land theft?

-With the William Shore pool embezzlement - Steve Burke?

-All the Fish Barrier removal projects?

-All the Non Profits?

-Pilot Programs?

-The citizen Property Tax hikes?

-Oh and while we are out saving the world from the white man, let’s make roads and trails and put frisby golf in the middle of nowhere!

-What about Timber Harvesting for revenue?

-What about the Farmland?

-What about my rights as a property OWNER?

-What about my public safety, my grandkids??

It is a HOSTILE takeover.

So who has the answer?💁🏻‍♀️🙏

"Conquer a neighbor, take their land, rename its landmark, and claim it as your heritage. When people of European ancestry did it, it was called colonization. What do we call it here?"

It's called the "miscreants justifying their crimes.

And speaking of all the other crimes CAUSED BY the Commissioners and their bullshit "harm reduction" money-laundering to the Tribe, whereby our tax dollars line Ron Allen's pockets and bring us crime as evidenced by the numerous police calls Jeff reported.

Sadly, the majority of stupid, uniformed and misinformed Clallam County voters are more concerned about when Survivor is on than with knowing what's happening in their county, and we missed this chance to oust the 3 miscreants that are at the root of all this. And, sadly, this kind of BS is happening all over the country, now that our public schools have taught children as much about reality as the Peninsula Daily News teaches us about what's REALLY going on. I have to wonder how soon our Republic will be overturned with changes to our Constitution, packing the Supreme Court, eliminating the Senate and Electoral College and seizing our property will be occurring. I am SO glad we moved to Idaho, where our traditional values are nearly ubiquitous among all. I cry about what they've done to California, Oregon, Washington, and Clallam County.

In 2022 Hice ( a frequent flyer on the scanner, in this CCWD story he was at Spruce and has warrants in another county)threatened and harassed me for taking pictures in public of vulgar graffiti on the back of Safeway near where he was conducting drug activities. A couple months later he burglarized Sound Bikes on camera. The prosecutor asked me to make a victim statment at Hice's hearing and promised me a 5 year PO and a 5 yr stay out of downtown order for Hice. PAPD declined to enforce the 5 yr stay out of downtown order claiming it was unenforcable even after I returned to the judge for clarification on the boundaries of downtown. Hice returned to dealing drugs behind Safeway. Our car at the time was broke down often but because Hice was constantly behind Safeway and PAPD wouldn't enforce the stay out of downtown order, I was afraid my PO was useless and no longer felt safe walking to Safeway, the closest grocery to my home in our supposedly walkable city.

Looking for number of votes by district rather than precincts for commissioner.

Try ClallamityJen's substack. She lists resources for getting info.

Homogenize the 'vote'! Clever!😵‍💫

Hello Mr. Jeff and Doggers,

I’ve heard Makah Tribe has a much darker history of slavery and head hunting. I don’t know when they stopped putting heads on poles, but I do pray they can officially close the door on their past wickedness and move into a collective brighter future. If that history didn’t happen or even exist, then the way things should be vs. the way things are in the present could have been drastically different. It seems like the possibilities to a different world are always being presented, but the choices made are the difference between what seems like ages apart, but in reality, it’s only the difference between realms. For example, the natural realm vs the supernatural realm. The natural realm moves with time and produces the signs of corruption as time goes by, while the impacts of the supernatural realm on the natural realm, whether light or dark, impact and cause differing signs and results... If everything in the natural realm came into order as it should be, it might not look anything like anybody expected. But life is not a series of neat little organized patterns and tasks we just clock in and out of, it’s freakin messy, fun and brutal at the same time. Where one person fails to complete their destiny, another one will inevitably pick it up and continue forth until it’s complete. What is your destiny?

Robert James's avatar

The heads on the poles is now political and financial, but the plandemic system is also a form of head hunting!😵‍💫

Can some totem poles be representations of a people conquered?

The Jamestown has conquered the golf club, as depicted on a totem pole at the golf course.

I was at Sequim Safeway a few days ago and the homeless city behind it had been cleared out. Does anyone know where it went?
