I love the irony of the Clallam County Democrat's poster showing a white hand pulling a POC hand up. The Democrats can't help but believe that POC need their support to make it through life. They're unconsciously showing their elitist arrogance.
That attitude does more damage to the innate human soul and potential we all have than these people understand. I call it a soft form of racism/slavery to send a continual message to POC that you can't make it without us. It's a perpetual motion machine that serves no one but themselves, and it's a sickness.
I've seen a lot of shitty stuff in my life, and I'm brought to tears at the humanity of certain situations. This is one of those situations.
My heart breaks inside for the people who fall for these falsehoods. Their human potential is being restrained. They'll likely never feel the immense joy associated with perservance and overcoming obstacles so that they know their full worth as a human. I find the behavior criminal, worthy of a human rights tribunal.
Just remember -- it was the Democrats who fought (hard) to keep slavery. The Republican party emerged specifically to combat the expansion of slavery into the western territories.
Especially ironic considering the Saturday tree park lunch is primarily caucasian working age males whose drug fueled lifestyle leads them to victimizing the community
Jeff, I love the new song! It gets me moving in the morning. I liked your Thank You Note to our veterans. Yes, thank you Veterans, today and everyday. You are always in my prayers along with your families. We can proudly say God Bless America because of your courage, honor, valor, and patriotism. You stepped up when others couldn't or wouldn't. You are true soldiers for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. God's grace upon you.
From Clallamity Jen's article, regarding the food banks, she states a personal observation: "I’m not talking about disabled people — I’m talking about able-bodied people choosing not to do the hard work to make their lives and finances better."
I was disabled in an accident when I was just 20. I'm now approaching 55. I have run 3 businesses, the last of which I have been running for 20 years, and still do. I have NO excuse for people who don't "do the hard work". I know exactly what it is to have to overcome adversities. To "pull yourself up by the boot-straps" and carry on. Life is hard. It's harder for people with disabilities and disadvantages. However, you can make the life that you choose. You just need to work for it...and HARD.
I'm not what many in this country or this state would consider rich. However, I am financially independent and I have made financial choices that will allow me to take care of myself in my old age, even if social security no longer exists. Nothing extravagant. I have children. I have managed to train them to be working, responsible units in society. They will be able to care for themselves, and others, when I am gone.
This is our job, as parents, as citizens, as a society.
Yep. I am right there with you. I've had arthritis since I was a teen (thankfully NOT rheumatic) and it means mornings are like the Tin Man (Wiz of Oz) without an oil can.
You overcome. Period.
I've never understood the people who just flop around like a fish out of water saying "oh, I can't". Or worse "I tried".
All the ‘poor poor pitiful me’ syndrome has been perpetuated by the socialist agenda through our government educational system for the last 60 years + . The push for ‘higher’ education, to provide even more brainwashing has lead to more reliance on government. Cradle to Grave on the government teat. The ideals of communism have never been achieved in any country and never will. Elitism will always prevail. Our Republic is worth fighting for and that’s what this day honors.
We've all been scammed...every war was and is financed by the same entities...both sides of every conflict...banksters with old inbred bloodlines...it's written into the play...enjoy the drama...maybe we'll see a turning of the tides this time around.😎. Act 3, Part 10, Final scene.🎬🙂
I’m glad that you don’t make excuses for others. I know there are people with disabilities who don’t let it hold them back, and you are proof!
It irks me that people who don’t have those challenges won’t do more for themselves. I’m not a fan of relying on the system, but I prefer that those who are truly unable due to physical reasons or age get the resources to help them instead of it going to people who are just too lazy to do more.
It’s tough love, and that’s not hate or intolerance; it’s what a lot of people need instead of participation trophies.
Today is Veterans Day. I am classified as a veteran. Not a battlefield veteran. Desk jockey in room BD982 basement of Pentagon. Today I also feel bad. Why? Knowing in my era about 58;000 young men mostly, died. Sad to see what has happened and is still happening to the young people coming up. Free this, that and the other thing. Take no responsibility.Someone will take care of you.
I served after you did, but the sentiment is understood. I'll add two things.
Our youth are taught to hate this country, it's undeniable, and diabolical. Why would you protect something that you hate?
If we don't continue to recognize those who served, in any capacity, then we send a subliminal message that anyone else's service will too go unnoticed.
To anyone who did mot serve, my message to you is that you were worth it.
I’m old enough to remember when free school lunches - breakfast not included - were given out only to those living under poverty thresholds. Remember when we had to buy milk tickets? This is just another extension of the nanny state progressive vision whereby government is the answer to all your troubles. It’s “ for the children,” doncha know.
They're pimping the children. It's never, ever about the children. Those free meals are nutritionally deficient. These geniuses are causing more and more harm. It would be so much better to teach parents how to cook and feed their children. The best lunches I ever saw while working at an elementary school were packed by parents of special education children. They learned the value of what good food can do. These were not "affluent" parents. They were low to middle class incomes. People are smart. And yes, the majority are smarter than these elected and non-elected leaders. And that's what they fear the most.
They gave billions in EDA grants, to set up "American" economic prosperity to socialists and communists bent on destroying it. You heard their voices yesterday. Disappointed Clallam County sold some logs that could just as easily be burned up to survive. Its not good enough to have a broke county 3 million in the hole and a tribe 86 million in the black. They want the end. Their going to get it by 2028 at the current socialist communist hijacked pace.
The Clallam County Charter review voted to go broke by 2028, because it would be racist to stop our county from going broke. Remember the names of the no votes..
Those Charter Review Commissioners that spinelessly abstained from voting epitomized the true nature of this board since the beginning. Have to give them an F- grade after failing to accomplish anything other than a ballot measure to decide if the Coroner is elected or appointed. So it should make one question if the Charter Review Commission is worth continuing if nothing is accomplished. Or maybe we should be thankful nothing was accomplished. At least nothing worse.
If you'“ threaten “ Stoffer one more tim e I wil lose my Subaru and take a bus until may.. Could you imagine the carbon footprint of Pritchel afte ordering the 4 piece chicken strip ort cod
Eric, They abstain to play Teflon pan so they don't take responsibility for the impact on the situation w=../means they want to be left alone buying toilet paper at Costco and Safeway and want to, sit in the front row at the water buffalo lodge, when some young chick with purple hair makes his wife nervous and thinks they are throwing her out of the life boat at gun point, because she is excess methane at the dump because of Colonizers...and is a terrible European colonizer give me a federal grant and gas tax. Renegotiate a treaty because of a bad relationship I am here all week trying to keep he colonizers from going broke and having warm bud light.
Justifying a policy because of European white people is as racist as it gets, and violated grant terms regarding civil rights. The fact they intercepted funds intended to be non race based specifically to turn the program into race based, instead of working through all their minority funding sources, is sheer racism, and grant fraud.
This county government is unbelievable. I think there should be a State audit of every jot and tittle of Clallam County government. The Shore Pool District malfeasance is more than likely indicative of what else would be found. I'm glad the taxpayers voted down the recent proposed property tax increase. The county commissioners had the temerity to ask for more money when they probably knew what the auditor's report would say. I would love to see them all gone.
Just so we're clear...Below is a mostly unreadable listing of the NGO's interfering in our govt: These are just the top 16 most visible ones. They have it all under control!
There are over 900 NGO's and NPO's with tentacles in Clallam County...I didn't ask for the full listing.
##Please list all the organizations from the U.N.'s Agenda 21+++, ICLEI, and other NGO's and NPO's and philanthropic organizations influencing Clallam County.

Other / broader lists and sources (useful for deep dives)
Local nonprofit directories / tax filings — multiple directories and databases list ~900+ 501(c) orgs tied to Clallam County (good sources if you want a comprehensive roster/export). TaxExemptWorld+1
Notes on scope & methodology
I prioritized organizations that are documented as participating in or connected to county planning, climate action, conservation, or philanthropy (county webpages, local plans/resolutions, regional councils, and local nonprofit/foundation pages). Where local reporting links an organization to county planning or political discussion (e.g., ICLEI, NODC), I included that too and cited it. clallamcountywa.gov+1
This is not an exhaustive list of every nonprofit registered in Clallam County (there are many). I included the main actors that appear in county documents, regional planning efforts, and local foundations/NGOs that influence policy, planning or funding. For a complete dataset you can export 501(c) listings (see taxexemptworld / local directories). TaxExemptWorld+1
If you want, I can immediately (right now) do one of the following (choose one and I’ll produce it in this reply):
Export a spreadsheet (CSV) of the ~50 or so local/regional organizations I can verify from public sources (names, websites, short description).
Produce a short map grouping who funds vs who plans vs who implements (graphic-style list).
Expand the list to include a full downloadable roster of all registered 501(c) organizations in Clallam County (will use the nonprofit databases I found).
Tell me which option you prefer and I’ll generate it into this conversation immediately.

Here’s a short “map” (in text-diagram form) showing how the major organizations and sectors connect around climate, land-use & sustainability in Clallam County. You can use this to visually orient which groups are in what role and how they inter-relate.
Seeing as many on this board are crossing over into the political arena, perhaps it’s time to start a NGO/NPO/PAC of your own. Off the top of my head….North Olympic Transparency Committee….NOTC. Gonna get called one anyway, might as well own it!
On a personal level, legacy encompasses the memories, teachings, and experiences one leaves behind. It can be shaped by actions taken throughout life and the relationships one builds.
Randy Johnson was in the timber industry, still has interests.Timber has its ups and downs. If you were to ask him if salaries, etc. were cut during a downturn I would be interested in the answer. I do not understand his positions based on his background.
According to VA and Brown University’s Costs of War project (2023):
~30,177 post-9/11 U.S. veterans have died by suicide — more than four times the number killed in combat during the same period (~7,000).
Suicides are highest among 18–34-year-old veterans and those recently separated from service.
Overall veteran suicides (Vietnam to 2025)
VA data (2001–2021): ~120,000–130,000 veteran suicides total in that 20-year window alone (not all post-9/11 era).
Adding Vietnam-era suicides gives a cumulative U.S. total (Vietnam through today) of roughly 140,000–160,000 veteran suicides — an informed estimate, not a hard count.😳🫨😤😭
I blame a lot of those suicides on more airtight poorly ventilated housing with higher exhaled CO2 in military and government housing.
Marine recruit barracks CO2 problem. Not on internet anymore. It’s come and gone before. So I saved a copy . (My link after all else here).
AI even told me I was wrong, that this unit is not at Parris Island, SC but at Camp Pendleton, CA. Okay, now. Why didn’t AI explain the move? Restructuring Parris Island because of ???

Is it safe to assume the Sequim School District knew what they were signing students up for? I'd prefer to see potential parents educated on the financial aspects of bringing children into the world.
According to the Office of Management and Budget, the National School Lunch Program lost nearly $800 million owing to improper payments recently, while the School Breakfast Program lost $300 million. The Office of Management and Budget calls these programs ‘high-priority’ programs because of the misspending.
According to spending and participation figures from the OMB and USDA respectively costs have continued to rise, despite the fact that the total number of students in the program declined.
According to the USDA’s “School Nutrition and Meal Cost Study,” the average school meal program operates at a slight deficit. The study also found that the reported cost of offering school meals generally exceeds the federal reimbursements allotted for those meals. It doesn’t appear that the country, in general, can afford to provide free school meals to all students, regardless of their qualifying status.
The National School Lunch Program provides low-cost or free school lunches to 31 million students at more than 100,000 public and private schools per day.…Participating schools receive approximately $1.30 to spend for each child,” notes the Food Revolution Network. This amount must cover the food, as well as any labor, equipment, electricity, and other costs.
Now, imagine providing free meals to ALL students, regardless of income status. With low budgets already causing significant issues as far as food quality goes, we can reasonably assume that the $1.30 per student would be drastically cut with an added influx of new students expecting free school meals.
Those meals will be appealing and nutritious, right?
It's safe to assume corruption and/or incompetence, along with radical ideology is rampant in our 'systems'! A secular/amoral society of humans is doomed from the outset.
Corruption is evident in many non-secular settings as well, of course, but when a person publicly says or displays they are some denomination of 'believer' then they can be held accountable for their actions, but when a person doesn't 'believe' in anything but themselves, they are doomed and so is the community they are part of.
We all choose a religion (the condition of re-binding) whether conscious of it or not as we all re-bind ourselves to something or someone(s) every day.
There are many redacted psycho-spiritual protocols which leave us floundering in the murk because we know what the 'rules' are but not so much how to stay true to them and live a higher life.
There are esoteric practices...prayer, meditation, breathing practices, etc., but they have crucial elements left out or covered over (redacted).
It's worthwhile to pursue and discover the subtle 'how to's' that make our efforts more effective in the etheric realms...because EVERY 'THING' comes from the NO 'THING'. We 'draw out' every thing from nothing with our individual and collective beliefs, focused thoughts, repetitive acts and actions.
Where does every 'thing' come from? A washing machine comes from the Earth, of course but it had to start with the non-material...an idea...a figment (fruit) of 'the mind'!
Mind is All... and we're not very good, yet, at utilizing 'Mind' except in the most material of ways. "As a man thinketh, so is he." This does NOT apply to transgenderism! A man 'thinkething' he is a woman does NOT, in fact make him one! Whatever drives the universe brings into being here on Earth masculine/feminine forms of expression...humans have just enough mental capacity to screw it up! We have long way to go, to get to sanity! Blessings 🤓
My appreciation for those with the courage and dedication to defend our country and the freedom and opportunity it offers. I am fatigued, burnt out actually, with all the feel good virtue signaling for the infinite derivations of minority-ism. The unthinking choose to separate us into minority groupings, using gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, skin tone and the unverifiable terms of native and/or indigenous. The LWV just created the new to me dastardly minority in this publication in the form of colonizers. Were the first nations first ? Who colonized this area before those today claiming to be indigenous or native ? Exactly how many generations are required before those monikers legally apply ? Those claiming indigenous or native ancestry are no more and no less capable, corrupt or righteous. The principle of manifesting dictates that if you convince people they cannot thrive without charity you will create just that. The LWV can donate all the resources they desire to any minority grouping they create, as long as tax payer money is not also involved.
You don't know that, Jean. When enough is enough it's time to let go. If you believe in endless interventions, just in case one life is saved, that's on you.
We, collectively, like to believe that life is worth preserving at any cost.
That is a belief of people who have no faith in the eternal...life is ubiquitous here on Earth, not rare...or even precious...It's ALL temporary, at the very best.
So I purposely did not bring children into this hell-hole called humanity for obvious reasons...I broke the chain of dysfunction in my family lineage consciously and for good rational, logical and genetic (and feeling) reasons.
Emotions are important sign posts along the way but they are not good guides for policy, on their own.
I have been a good uncle and had a few years in a close relationship with a young step-granddaughter which was fruitful for all, AND I have had to allow the natural distance that occurs in life here on Planet Earth between myself and them all...each has their own path to figure out and I can't 'save' them from their choices.
I do not 'live inside grief' for anyone who passes from this realm.
'WE' cannot afford to endlessly rotate people through 'savior processes' and keep up with all the 'street damage' caused by the mentally ill, especially the violent.
So, have your opinions and judge me if you want. I strive for common sense and realistic, practical, rational, logical, scientifically valid governance...emotions are fine to consider as part of the mix, but not useful on their own.
As, Robert James’ partner, I have to say I disagree with him on this one. One more Narcan save could be the time that addict finally says, enough, & turns back to the path of recovery. That could be the time, one last time. And that's what it takes to save a life.
I remember that...and I'm not wishing anyone dead...that kind of thing I chalk-up to miracles...some kind of non-physical intervention that his time was not up. I had a step-son that died from an extremely excessive and extremely productive life....esophageal cancer...at 39...Chili Thom, an artist, from B.C. Canada...he told his Mom, my wife at the time, that he didn't want to go but that he had already passed two exits earlier in life...I don't know what those were...but he did!
So, my compassion includes letting people have their journey with minimal judgment from me....my wife at the time and I grieved together and with other extended community that knew him...of course she, as the Mother, grieved deeper and longer...at some point she received a 'message' from him that she needed to 'let him go' as her grief was 'holding him back' from his 'ascension' process. I had a paternal grandmother who grieved my grandfather's passing (at 54 years), for 27 years, drowned in alcohol...so I do not lack compassion, I understand that we come and go and maybe come and go again but I sincerely want the people who can't take it any more to have a break and if they need to, come again...Great book called "Billy Fingers" tells the amazing story of life beyond this life...judge not lest we be judged...so my idea of banning Narcan is just a way of letting life be what it needs to be at the individual level....at the collective level, I cannot sit by and watch our society be destroyed by narcissistic, self-worshipping sociopaths and not engage at some level.
I encourage anyone to watch NDE's narrated by the people who experienced them, not AI or another narrator.🤓
People don't die because they want to, but because they must.
I have dealt with a fair number of addicts... and the whole issue of "narcan" just sounds like a cushy safety-net -- takes the risk out. Unfortunately, it doesn't always work, and some of this absolute JUNK people are taking is meant to do massive harm. It isn't like the people slopping this crap together give a hot damn about their clients. The massively wealthy cartels don't care about life at all -- it's all about money-money-money. Morally bankrupt.
I have no idea why this country has such a fascination with taking drugs, but suspect the 24/7 drug ads on TV, in magazines, everywhere account for it. The Big Pharma has their pill pushing down to a science. And, they're making a lot of shiny dimes selling Narcan as the big "save". If we can't turn the tide --- it's just not going to end well -- Narcan or NOT.
Why are we losing out youth? What could we do to support them, divert them, give them power and HOPE instead of becoming drugged out and feckless?
People don’t do illegal drugs one day and become homeless the next. Oh no, they have put their families, relatives, friends, and acquaintances through a roller coaster of hell. The lies, the stealing, the promises broken, the interventions and even rehab that just didn’t take. So to save themselves they must walk away from this person they once loved, the addict, that picked drugs over people.
So as strangers, we think some ridiculous plan of clean needles will help? What the hell are we thinking? They don’t care if they get Hep2 from dirty needles, why should we? This may seem very cold, but a more selfish person doesn’t exist than a drug addict. Any amount of public funds assisting an addict to be more comfortable by providing drug accessories is insanity. It needs to be difficult, inconvenient, painful in withdrawal, and lonely. They have used up their resources, we are not benevolent providers . We are culpable of maintaining the behavior. All the tax dollars going to support drug addiction is nothing short of complete failure to manage public monies.
If rock bottom must evoke the change, then move the bottom up.
The ones who want to stay, will find a way...those who don't will find a way out!
Keeping it simple and clean. If I had been born into this shit-fest, with my upbringing, I definitely wouldn't have made it this far, so compassion is not lacking, but empathy and acceptance are the thing for me, right now!😎
We need to find another county willing to investigate claims and potential charges of fraud, malfeasance, failure to honor oaths of office, etc. CC prosecutor can't or won't investigate his own corrupt govt., so we just have to find a willing Sheriff's detective in another Washington County. Mission impossible? Maybe not.😎
I took this as a reciprocol understanding/need. The report might explain the genesis of how it landed on the detectives desk. Obviously assigned somehow to avoid the perception of a conflict of interest, as much as possible.
MK, I love your references! Looks like Rob Anderson is a shaker and a mover and has the same visions as our shakers and movers: Washington counties are rebelling!
REFORM CLARK COUNTY Lyle’s investigation stemmed from ethics complaints and lawsuits filed by Reform Clark County founder Rob Anderson in Skamania County Superior Court, which were later moved to Clark County in May 2025….
We must achieve the following three objectives:
◦ WE must build an energized, ever-enlarging and educated electorate regarding the need for reforms and the means to make meaningful reforms that put people BACK INTO THE DRIVERS' SEAT.
▪ We have videos, trainings, workshops and occasional events that help us stay informed and engaged.
▪ This is the backbone of reform. We must build one of the largest voting blocks in in Clark County. Right now we have over 4k people on our email list but that needs to be more like 10k in order for us to be heard and never be ignored again.
• We must recruit and support reform candidates who look to serve and not be served. They have their priority to defend the rights of the people they represent and not look to preserve and protect the bureaucracy. The government, even at the County level, has all the resources (guns, buildings, money and lawyers, etc) and we have to have elected officials who understand we need LESS government and not more.
- Recruiting, vetting, supporting, and electing candidates that pledge REFORM in Clark County will be vital to seeing actual change that puts “We the People” and the voters back in the driver's seat.
- Always look to reduce Gov reach, which is way too much and currently overreaching.
- Lower taxes & red tape at every opportunity possible. If something new must be funded, something else in Gov must be cut. Reduce process, fees and time needed for construction and building to increase housing inventories and needed growth.
- Commit to PASSING CHARTER REFORMS THAT RESTORE REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNMENT OVER THE COUNTY AND BRING BACK ACCOUNTABILITY AND TRANSPARENCY TO ALL OF COUNTY GOVERNMENT INCLUDING THE UNELECTED BUREAUCRATS.
I love the irony of the Clallam County Democrat's poster showing a white hand pulling a POC hand up. The Democrats can't help but believe that POC need their support to make it through life. They're unconsciously showing their elitist arrogance.
I didn't catch that, G.M. Thanks for pointing that out.
I'll go one step further to your well made point.
That attitude does more damage to the innate human soul and potential we all have than these people understand. I call it a soft form of racism/slavery to send a continual message to POC that you can't make it without us. It's a perpetual motion machine that serves no one but themselves, and it's a sickness.
I've seen a lot of shitty stuff in my life, and I'm brought to tears at the humanity of certain situations. This is one of those situations.
My heart breaks inside for the people who fall for these falsehoods. Their human potential is being restrained. They'll likely never feel the immense joy associated with perservance and overcoming obstacles so that they know their full worth as a human. I find the behavior criminal, worthy of a human rights tribunal.
Just remember -- it was the Democrats who fought (hard) to keep slavery. The Republican party emerged specifically to combat the expansion of slavery into the western territories.
We are mostly economic slaves now, so there's our equity!😎
'Slavism' and 'Racery' all over again!🤣
Especially ironic considering the Saturday tree park lunch is primarily caucasian working age males whose drug fueled lifestyle leads them to victimizing the community
Racist addicts...that's the Worst!🥸 To be fair, they are working hard at what they do!😎
I thought we were all some color!🤪
Jeff, I love the new song! It gets me moving in the morning. I liked your Thank You Note to our veterans. Yes, thank you Veterans, today and everyday. You are always in my prayers along with your families. We can proudly say God Bless America because of your courage, honor, valor, and patriotism. You stepped up when others couldn't or wouldn't. You are true soldiers for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. God's grace upon you.
Thanks Denise for the sentiment. You were worth it.
From Clallamity Jen's article, regarding the food banks, she states a personal observation: "I’m not talking about disabled people — I’m talking about able-bodied people choosing not to do the hard work to make their lives and finances better."
I was disabled in an accident when I was just 20. I'm now approaching 55. I have run 3 businesses, the last of which I have been running for 20 years, and still do. I have NO excuse for people who don't "do the hard work". I know exactly what it is to have to overcome adversities. To "pull yourself up by the boot-straps" and carry on. Life is hard. It's harder for people with disabilities and disadvantages. However, you can make the life that you choose. You just need to work for it...and HARD.
I'm not what many in this country or this state would consider rich. However, I am financially independent and I have made financial choices that will allow me to take care of myself in my old age, even if social security no longer exists. Nothing extravagant. I have children. I have managed to train them to be working, responsible units in society. They will be able to care for themselves, and others, when I am gone.
This is our job, as parents, as citizens, as a society.
Yep. I am right there with you. I've had arthritis since I was a teen (thankfully NOT rheumatic) and it means mornings are like the Tin Man (Wiz of Oz) without an oil can.
You overcome. Period.
I've never understood the people who just flop around like a fish out of water saying "oh, I can't". Or worse "I tried".
All the ‘poor poor pitiful me’ syndrome has been perpetuated by the socialist agenda through our government educational system for the last 60 years + . The push for ‘higher’ education, to provide even more brainwashing has lead to more reliance on government. Cradle to Grave on the government teat. The ideals of communism have never been achieved in any country and never will. Elitism will always prevail. Our Republic is worth fighting for and that’s what this day honors.
We've all been scammed...every war was and is financed by the same entities...both sides of every conflict...banksters with old inbred bloodlines...it's written into the play...enjoy the drama...maybe we'll see a turning of the tides this time around.😎. Act 3, Part 10, Final scene.🎬🙂
Thank you for YOUR service (to humanity), Andrea!😊
lol
I don't know about that!
I’m glad that you don’t make excuses for others. I know there are people with disabilities who don’t let it hold them back, and you are proof!
It irks me that people who don’t have those challenges won’t do more for themselves. I’m not a fan of relying on the system, but I prefer that those who are truly unable due to physical reasons or age get the resources to help them instead of it going to people who are just too lazy to do more.
It’s tough love, and that’s not hate or intolerance; it’s what a lot of people need instead of participation trophies.
Today is Veterans Day. I am classified as a veteran. Not a battlefield veteran. Desk jockey in room BD982 basement of Pentagon. Today I also feel bad. Why? Knowing in my era about 58;000 young men mostly, died. Sad to see what has happened and is still happening to the young people coming up. Free this, that and the other thing. Take no responsibility.Someone will take care of you.
I served after you did, but the sentiment is understood. I'll add two things.
Our youth are taught to hate this country, it's undeniable, and diabolical. Why would you protect something that you hate?
If we don't continue to recognize those who served, in any capacity, then we send a subliminal message that anyone else's service will too go unnoticed.
To anyone who did mot serve, my message to you is that you were worth it.
I’m old enough to remember when free school lunches - breakfast not included - were given out only to those living under poverty thresholds. Remember when we had to buy milk tickets? This is just another extension of the nanny state progressive vision whereby government is the answer to all your troubles. It’s “ for the children,” doncha know.
They're pimping the children. It's never, ever about the children. Those free meals are nutritionally deficient. These geniuses are causing more and more harm. It would be so much better to teach parents how to cook and feed their children. The best lunches I ever saw while working at an elementary school were packed by parents of special education children. They learned the value of what good food can do. These were not "affluent" parents. They were low to middle class incomes. People are smart. And yes, the majority are smarter than these elected and non-elected leaders. And that's what they fear the most.

They gave billions in EDA grants, to set up "American" economic prosperity to socialists and communists bent on destroying it. You heard their voices yesterday. Disappointed Clallam County sold some logs that could just as easily be burned up to survive. Its not good enough to have a broke county 3 million in the hole and a tribe 86 million in the black. They want the end. Their going to get it by 2028 at the current socialist communist hijacked pace.
EDA funded the destruction of pioneer rights.
Now what?
The Clallam County Charter review voted to go broke by 2028, because it would be racist to stop our county from going broke. Remember the names of the no votes..
Those Charter Review Commissioners that spinelessly abstained from voting epitomized the true nature of this board since the beginning. Have to give them an F- grade after failing to accomplish anything other than a ballot measure to decide if the Coroner is elected or appointed. So it should make one question if the Charter Review Commission is worth continuing if nothing is accomplished. Or maybe we should be thankful nothing was accomplished. At least nothing worse.

Justifying a policy because of European white people is as racist as it gets, and violated grant terms regarding civil rights.

Great article. Thank you
This county government is unbelievable. I think there should be a State audit of every jot and tittle of Clallam County government. The Shore Pool District malfeasance is more than likely indicative of what else would be found. I'm glad the taxpayers voted down the recent proposed property tax increase. The county commissioners had the temerity to ask for more money when they probably knew what the auditor's report would say. I would love to see them all gone.
Just so we're clear...Below is a mostly unreadable listing of the NGO's interfering in our govt: These are just the top 16 most visible ones. They have it all under control!
There are over 900 NGO's and NPO's with tentacles in Clallam County...I didn't ask for the full listing.
U.N. Agenda 21+++SDF, ICLEI, NODC, NOPRCD, CCCAP, COPCRP, NOLT, CCMRC, CCF, OVCF, OMCF, UWCC, HHCC, CEDC, WSUE, JKT.
Do you think we have a problem?
##Please list all the organizations from the U.N.'s Agenda 21+++, ICLEI, and other NGO's and NPO's and philanthropic organizations influencing Clallam County.

Good — I pulled together a focused, evidence-backed list of organizations (international, regional, and local) that are publicly documented as involved in climate, land-use, conservation, planning, or philanthropic activity that influences Clallam County. I grouped them so it’s easier to scan and added a short note plus a source for each item.

Other / broader lists and sources (useful for deep dives)
Local nonprofit directories / tax filings — multiple directories and databases list ~900+ 501(c) orgs tied to Clallam County (good sources if you want a comprehensive roster/export). TaxExemptWorld+1
Notes on scope & methodology
I prioritized organizations that are documented as participating in or connected to county planning, climate action, conservation, or philanthropy (county webpages, local plans/resolutions, regional councils, and local nonprofit/foundation pages). Where local reporting links an organization to county planning or political discussion (e.g., ICLEI, NODC), I included that too and cited it. clallamcountywa.gov+1
This is not an exhaustive list of every nonprofit registered in Clallam County (there are many). I included the main actors that appear in county documents, regional planning efforts, and local foundations/NGOs that influence policy, planning or funding. For a complete dataset you can export 501(c) listings (see taxexemptworld / local directories). TaxExemptWorld+1
If you want, I can immediately (right now) do one of the following (choose one and I’ll produce it in this reply):
Export a spreadsheet (CSV) of the ~50 or so local/regional organizations I can verify from public sources (names, websites, short description).
Produce a short map grouping who funds vs who plans vs who implements (graphic-style list).
Expand the list to include a full downloadable roster of all registered 501(c) organizations in Clallam County (will use the nonprofit databases I found).
Tell me which option you prefer and I’ll generate it into this conversation immediately.

Key notes for reading this map:
“International/Framework” layer provides guidance, standards & tools (e.g., ICLEI, UN Agenda 21) that influence regional/local work.
“Regional Planning” is where many local governments and nonprofits coordinate across jurisdictions (e.g., peninsula-wide).
“Local Government Programs” are where the plans, policies and formal actions are made for Clallam County and its cities/tribes.
“Non-Government Implementers & Philanthropy” highlight NGOs, land trusts, foundations and outreach partners doing on-the-ground work.
“Community & Public Engagement” is the base layer — where residents, volunteers and civil society engage, respond and execute.

I am commenting on your mention of Randy Johnson and legacy. I happen to agree with Mike Tyson’s view on personal legacy:
https://www.tmz.com › 2024 › 11 › 14 › mike-tyson-jake-paul-fight-interview
On a personal level, legacy encompasses the memories, teachings, and experiences one leaves behind. It can be shaped by actions taken throughout life and the relationships one builds.
Randy Johnson was in the timber industry, still has interests.Timber has its ups and downs. If you were to ask him if salaries, etc. were cut during a downturn I would be interested in the answer. I do not understand his positions based on his background.
The Mike Tyson interview and thought on legacy.
Lest we forget:
Post-9/11 veterans (Iraq & Afghanistan era)
According to VA and Brown University’s Costs of War project (2023):
~30,177 post-9/11 U.S. veterans have died by suicide — more than four times the number killed in combat during the same period (~7,000).
Suicides are highest among 18–34-year-old veterans and those recently separated from service.
Overall veteran suicides (Vietnam to 2025)
VA data (2001–2021): ~120,000–130,000 veteran suicides total in that 20-year window alone (not all post-9/11 era).
Adding Vietnam-era suicides gives a cumulative U.S. total (Vietnam through today) of roughly 140,000–160,000 veteran suicides — an informed estimate, not a hard count.😳🫨😤😭
⚖️ Summary
Sobering, but appropriate data to know.
I blame a lot of those suicides on more airtight poorly ventilated housing with higher exhaled CO2 in military and government housing.
Marine recruit barracks CO2 problem. Not on internet anymore. It’s come and gone before. So I saved a copy . (My link after all else here).
AI even told me I was wrong, that this unit is not at Parris Island, SC but at Camp Pendleton, CA. Okay, now. Why didn’t AI explain the move? Restructuring Parris Island because of ???

Is it safe to assume the Sequim School District knew what they were signing students up for? I'd prefer to see potential parents educated on the financial aspects of bringing children into the world.
According to the Office of Management and Budget, the National School Lunch Program lost nearly $800 million owing to improper payments recently, while the School Breakfast Program lost $300 million. The Office of Management and Budget calls these programs ‘high-priority’ programs because of the misspending.
According to spending and participation figures from the OMB and USDA respectively costs have continued to rise, despite the fact that the total number of students in the program declined.
According to the USDA’s “School Nutrition and Meal Cost Study,” the average school meal program operates at a slight deficit. The study also found that the reported cost of offering school meals generally exceeds the federal reimbursements allotted for those meals. It doesn’t appear that the country, in general, can afford to provide free school meals to all students, regardless of their qualifying status.
The National School Lunch Program provides low-cost or free school lunches to 31 million students at more than 100,000 public and private schools per day.…Participating schools receive approximately $1.30 to spend for each child,” notes the Food Revolution Network. This amount must cover the food, as well as any labor, equipment, electricity, and other costs.
Now, imagine providing free meals to ALL students, regardless of income status. With low budgets already causing significant issues as far as food quality goes, we can reasonably assume that the $1.30 per student would be drastically cut with an added influx of new students expecting free school meals.
Those meals will be appealing and nutritious, right?
It's safe to assume corruption and/or incompetence, along with radical ideology is rampant in our 'systems'! A secular/amoral society of humans is doomed from the outset.
Corruption is evident in many non-secular settings as well, of course, but when a person publicly says or displays they are some denomination of 'believer' then they can be held accountable for their actions, but when a person doesn't 'believe' in anything but themselves, they are doomed and so is the community they are part of.
We all choose a religion (the condition of re-binding) whether conscious of it or not as we all re-bind ourselves to something or someone(s) every day.
There are many redacted psycho-spiritual protocols which leave us floundering in the murk because we know what the 'rules' are but not so much how to stay true to them and live a higher life.
There are esoteric practices...prayer, meditation, breathing practices, etc., but they have crucial elements left out or covered over (redacted).
It's worthwhile to pursue and discover the subtle 'how to's' that make our efforts more effective in the etheric realms...because EVERY 'THING' comes from the NO 'THING'. We 'draw out' every thing from nothing with our individual and collective beliefs, focused thoughts, repetitive acts and actions.
Where does every 'thing' come from? A washing machine comes from the Earth, of course but it had to start with the non-material...an idea...a figment (fruit) of 'the mind'!
Mind is All... and we're not very good, yet, at utilizing 'Mind' except in the most material of ways. "As a man thinketh, so is he." This does NOT apply to transgenderism! A man 'thinkething' he is a woman does NOT, in fact make him one! Whatever drives the universe brings into being here on Earth masculine/feminine forms of expression...humans have just enough mental capacity to screw it up! We have long way to go, to get to sanity! Blessings 🤓
Private schools are participating in the free lunch programs. Could you back that up with information.
Charter schools are not private, even though they may operate as one.
My appreciation for those with the courage and dedication to defend our country and the freedom and opportunity it offers. I am fatigued, burnt out actually, with all the feel good virtue signaling for the infinite derivations of minority-ism. The unthinking choose to separate us into minority groupings, using gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, skin tone and the unverifiable terms of native and/or indigenous. The LWV just created the new to me dastardly minority in this publication in the form of colonizers. Were the first nations first ? Who colonized this area before those today claiming to be indigenous or native ? Exactly how many generations are required before those monikers legally apply ? Those claiming indigenous or native ancestry are no more and no less capable, corrupt or righteous. The principle of manifesting dictates that if you convince people they cannot thrive without charity you will create just that. The LWV can donate all the resources they desire to any minority grouping they create, as long as tax payer money is not also involved.
We could solve Some problems by banning Narcan!🤔
You wouldnt say that if your child was addicted.
You don't know that, Jean. When enough is enough it's time to let go. If you believe in endless interventions, just in case one life is saved, that's on you.
We, collectively, like to believe that life is worth preserving at any cost.
That is a belief of people who have no faith in the eternal...life is ubiquitous here on Earth, not rare...or even precious...It's ALL temporary, at the very best.
So I purposely did not bring children into this hell-hole called humanity for obvious reasons...I broke the chain of dysfunction in my family lineage consciously and for good rational, logical and genetic (and feeling) reasons.
Emotions are important sign posts along the way but they are not good guides for policy, on their own.
I have been a good uncle and had a few years in a close relationship with a young step-granddaughter which was fruitful for all, AND I have had to allow the natural distance that occurs in life here on Planet Earth between myself and them all...each has their own path to figure out and I can't 'save' them from their choices.
I do not 'live inside grief' for anyone who passes from this realm.
'WE' cannot afford to endlessly rotate people through 'savior processes' and keep up with all the 'street damage' caused by the mentally ill, especially the violent.
So, have your opinions and judge me if you want. I strive for common sense and realistic, practical, rational, logical, scientifically valid governance...emotions are fine to consider as part of the mix, but not useful on their own.
We are possibly 'feeling' our way to doom!🤓
As, Robert James’ partner, I have to say I disagree with him on this one. One more Narcan save could be the time that addict finally says, enough, & turns back to the path of recovery. That could be the time, one last time. And that's what it takes to save a life.
I always think about John Kevin Hines... the kid who jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge (9/25/00) and survived.
I remember that...and I'm not wishing anyone dead...that kind of thing I chalk-up to miracles...some kind of non-physical intervention that his time was not up. I had a step-son that died from an extremely excessive and extremely productive life....esophageal cancer...at 39...Chili Thom, an artist, from B.C. Canada...he told his Mom, my wife at the time, that he didn't want to go but that he had already passed two exits earlier in life...I don't know what those were...but he did!
So, my compassion includes letting people have their journey with minimal judgment from me....my wife at the time and I grieved together and with other extended community that knew him...of course she, as the Mother, grieved deeper and longer...at some point she received a 'message' from him that she needed to 'let him go' as her grief was 'holding him back' from his 'ascension' process. I had a paternal grandmother who grieved my grandfather's passing (at 54 years), for 27 years, drowned in alcohol...so I do not lack compassion, I understand that we come and go and maybe come and go again but I sincerely want the people who can't take it any more to have a break and if they need to, come again...Great book called "Billy Fingers" tells the amazing story of life beyond this life...judge not lest we be judged...so my idea of banning Narcan is just a way of letting life be what it needs to be at the individual level....at the collective level, I cannot sit by and watch our society be destroyed by narcissistic, self-worshipping sociopaths and not engage at some level.
I encourage anyone to watch NDE's narrated by the people who experienced them, not AI or another narrator.🤓
People don't die because they want to, but because they must.
I have dealt with a fair number of addicts... and the whole issue of "narcan" just sounds like a cushy safety-net -- takes the risk out. Unfortunately, it doesn't always work, and some of this absolute JUNK people are taking is meant to do massive harm. It isn't like the people slopping this crap together give a hot damn about their clients. The massively wealthy cartels don't care about life at all -- it's all about money-money-money. Morally bankrupt.
I have no idea why this country has such a fascination with taking drugs, but suspect the 24/7 drug ads on TV, in magazines, everywhere account for it. The Big Pharma has their pill pushing down to a science. And, they're making a lot of shiny dimes selling Narcan as the big "save". If we can't turn the tide --- it's just not going to end well -- Narcan or NOT.
Why are we losing out youth? What could we do to support them, divert them, give them power and HOPE instead of becoming drugged out and feckless?
People don’t do illegal drugs one day and become homeless the next. Oh no, they have put their families, relatives, friends, and acquaintances through a roller coaster of hell. The lies, the stealing, the promises broken, the interventions and even rehab that just didn’t take. So to save themselves they must walk away from this person they once loved, the addict, that picked drugs over people.
So as strangers, we think some ridiculous plan of clean needles will help? What the hell are we thinking? They don’t care if they get Hep2 from dirty needles, why should we? This may seem very cold, but a more selfish person doesn’t exist than a drug addict. Any amount of public funds assisting an addict to be more comfortable by providing drug accessories is insanity. It needs to be difficult, inconvenient, painful in withdrawal, and lonely. They have used up their resources, we are not benevolent providers . We are culpable of maintaining the behavior. All the tax dollars going to support drug addiction is nothing short of complete failure to manage public monies.
If rock bottom must evoke the change, then move the bottom up.
Some of Kavorkian's too.
People should make their own decisions; in this case, a Do Not Resuscitate order would be good to have for drug users. Just an idea...
The ones who want to stay, will find a way...those who don't will find a way out!
Keeping it simple and clean. If I had been born into this shit-fest, with my upbringing, I definitely wouldn't have made it this far, so compassion is not lacking, but empathy and acceptance are the thing for me, right now!😎
The police report has got to be an interesting read.
https://www.columbian.com/news/2025/nov/10/investigation-faults-county-council-manager-for-belkot-decision/
https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/opinion-skamania-co-sheriffs-report-says-clark-county-council-violated-the-county-charter-rules-of-procedure-and-was-open-public-meetings-act/
We need to find another county willing to investigate claims and potential charges of fraud, malfeasance, failure to honor oaths of office, etc. CC prosecutor can't or won't investigate his own corrupt govt., so we just have to find a willing Sheriff's detective in another Washington County. Mission impossible? Maybe not.😎
I took this as a reciprocol understanding/need. The report might explain the genesis of how it landed on the detectives desk. Obviously assigned somehow to avoid the perception of a conflict of interest, as much as possible.

MK, I love your references! Looks like Rob Anderson is a shaker and a mover and has the same visions as our shakers and movers: Washington counties are rebelling!
REFORM CLARK COUNTY Lyle’s investigation stemmed from ethics complaints and lawsuits filed by Reform Clark County founder Rob Anderson in Skamania County Superior Court, which were later moved to Clark County in May 2025….
We must achieve the following three objectives:
◦ WE must build an energized, ever-enlarging and educated electorate regarding the need for reforms and the means to make meaningful reforms that put people BACK INTO THE DRIVERS' SEAT.
▪ We have videos, trainings, workshops and occasional events that help us stay informed and engaged.
▪ This is the backbone of reform. We must build one of the largest voting blocks in in Clark County. Right now we have over 4k people on our email list but that needs to be more like 10k in order for us to be heard and never be ignored again.
• We must recruit and support reform candidates who look to serve and not be served. They have their priority to defend the rights of the people they represent and not look to preserve and protect the bureaucracy. The government, even at the County level, has all the resources (guns, buildings, money and lawyers, etc) and we have to have elected officials who understand we need LESS government and not more.
- Recruiting, vetting, supporting, and electing candidates that pledge REFORM in Clark County will be vital to seeing actual change that puts “We the People” and the voters back in the driver's seat.
- Always look to reduce Gov reach, which is way too much and currently overreaching.
- Lower taxes & red tape at every opportunity possible. If something new must be funded, something else in Gov must be cut. Reduce process, fees and time needed for construction and building to increase housing inventories and needed growth.
- Commit to PASSING CHARTER REFORMS THAT RESTORE REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNMENT OVER THE COUNTY AND BRING BACK ACCOUNTABILITY AND TRANSPARENCY TO ALL OF COUNTY GOVERNMENT INCLUDING THE UNELECTED BUREAUCRATS.
