I am legitimately so sad, all of this, the hate, the smear campaigns on public streets during days that people just want to go home and not see it. I have lived in this area my entire life, and I don't think I have been more upset than I am recently about the state of people. What happened to the Sequim I grew up in? What happened to respecting even if you don't agree? I saw a "Stop Fake Jake" and other signs going against people running for office. I just get even more tired, cause these protests have happened every Friday that I'm aware of, at this point, I just don't want to see it anymore.
Port Angeles High School? They won't do anything, they never have, I walked out of that place junior year and went to Sequim. I now hate both. Not dislike. Hate.
I don't know how the hate grew so harshly, I don't know why its so hateful, it doesn't matter. What matters is the message it sends to children. The message it sends to teenagers who are already apparently learning from those around them.
When I say I am sad about the state of how people treat each other, the favoritism towards certain parties and such.
I mean a gut wrenching, deep sadness because I grew up around here and if I ever have children, I won't be raising them in Clallam county. Not anymore.
I respect and acknowledge that people have their own opinions as well, these are my opinions. Thank you <3
The accuracy of your observations is a stinging indictment indeed of those more focused on national politics ruining this fine county.
The littany of names are a constant and it's up to those of us upset enough to migrate much of that energy to advocacy.
I read that Jake is in the process of assembling volunteers to support his campaign. For anyone who wants something different we'll need more people to support that effort, attend and speak at public meetings, research matters via public records requests, etc than leave their frustrations on a blog. I'm not denigrating anyone who shares their thoughts here, I'm just saying change requires us to change as well from the comfort of our daily lives, because that's what the opposition requires to stay in control.
Helps us to reach moderates and conservatives in encouraging them to vote. Voter apathy is at the heart of what's wrong with this county. People bitch, but don't vote.
Gayle, I'm not so sure. People stand up and take notice when policies hit their pocketbooks. Being pissed off motivates people. Maybe the piss factor will bring more voters out? Or so we hope ; )
While it is sad and pitiful to see just how evil these criminals in our government really are, be of good cheer because they are actually destroying themselves more and more every day~! We don't need to do anything but to stay the course and continue to do what we have been doing. These criminals will continue to destroy themselves, as they continue to reveal their true evil nature. "Never interfere with your enemy, when they are destroying themselves"~!
Tim wheeler happened. And instead of the community shunning him like they should have-- would have a hundred years ago (tar and feathers?), they embraced him as democrat of the year, pioneer of the year, blah, blah, blah.
Fear of being alone, and a sense of belonging causes people sidle up to unknowns, who do not have their best interests at heart; often, quite the contrary.
They have been programmed to feel alone, needing a herd to relate to, which makes them prime candidates for protests and demonstrations, which become a feeding frenzy, feeding off each other. Their devices never power down, the electronic babysitter since near-birth.
Ironic that Stoffer would use a Democrat KKK as a fighting point. The organization was founded by the dems and had plenty of members. When you can’t oxplain your inactions in CC then resort to this toxic political agenda. As for the parking lot there is many churches in Sequim that would do this housing RV park for FAR less. My question is who determined the $118k? Then no accountability by anyone and these same people complain about the font on a campaign sign. Jeff you show us the hypocrisy that exists with the CC bearacrats The church should have to account for money for Gods sakes alone. Stoffer we are waiting?
The millions and billions in innumerable perks for "tribal" members is infuriating. The people for whom those perks are intended are all dead. The lives lived today by their progeny are unrecognizable to their ancestors with casinos, computers, cell phones, powered vessels, roads, sanitation and more. How the "tribes" or anyone for that matter can track and judge genetic purity of ancestry is a mystery. Evidently we need a National conversation about ancestry so we can then hand out benefits to all those with ancestry that matters. The problem arises in determining which ancestries matter, how much they matter and the how much should we hand to them because their ancestry matters more than yours. It might be simpler for our Government to determine and declare what ancestries do not matter. Perhaps then take from those ancestries that do not matter and give that to the ancestries that matter - - - more. Or; are we already doing that ?
Slaves were discriminated against, killed, hung and were unable to be free to get educations and live like the rest of society did. It was harsh and it was t most tragic. The democrats by the way voted against freeing the black slaves and so our country went to war to FREE the slaved black people. Even though the slaves were free they were still discriminated against through their years of freedom. The federal government recognized civil rights in 1964 and tried to right wrongs by creating employment decrees for education and job opportunities. The decree lasted ten years ONLY! The market was flooded with minorities & women throughout the 1970’s. But here we are with Indians and an unlimited amount of restitution for one specific minority who were given land and money to creat a sovereign’s economic existence and help them thrive as a nation. Never in history has our government been never ending to any other nation.
The “ woke” agenda gained over decades a following by people not wise enough to think about unintended consequences. The woke movement is fading in many areas in our country and in Europe now that these feel-good slogans have wrought tribalism and aggression from every group who has felt victimized. Identity politics, ancestry ideology, will at some point disappear when the burden to majority of population and with wide spread education to the chaos it has caused will transform the idiocy to common sense. Common sense Majority will fight back. Imho
So much reported on today. Thank you for doing this, Jeff. Jim Stoffer should not criticize or name call anyone after his exposure in the CRC document leaks to his tribal friend. Shame, shame, Jim. The kids with the bloodied Freedom shirts got the idea from someone somewhere. Was the person or group related to the kids, or did the idea stem from the internet? Both? Why did the school initially tolerate the violent message clearly meant for Christians and Jews until parents complained? This is why kids aren't taught to think for themselves, because the adults in charge can't. Schools need to teach and prove they can before anymore tax dollars are given to them.
The evidence is clear clallam co is in decay due to bad leadership and if residents want to save their county for the better then legal registered voters better start voting out radical home wreckers like M french & co.
My boyfriend & I would like to know about the “handmaidens” that show up at protests. What are they supposed to represent? They are creepy. They remind me of the KKK- the pot calling the kettle black? Seems like it to me
Below is a brief description of the book by Atwood. The book was often used in "Women's Studies" courses in colleges. (I guess those classes would be "Gender Studies " now but idk. The TV series on Hulu features Elizabeth Moss as the star and sometimes producer.The series is much darker and more violent than the novel and takes the storyline beyond the novel. Moss has been widely criticized for being a second generation devoted Scientologist (an organization criticized for control of members) while portraying a victim of religious oppression.
The costumes the red Klan wears at these protests are a direct copy from the TV show and meant to illicit fear.
The gist of the novel:
The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood is a dystopian story about a totalitarian, religious regime that overthrows the United States.Setting the SceneThe Republic of Gilead: A theocratic military dictatorship replaces the U.S. after an environmental crisis causes widespread infertility.Loss of Rights: Women cannot read, work, own property, or control their own lives.The Handmaids: Fertile women are captured and forced into reproductive servitude for the elite ruling class, known as Commanders.
The intended symbolism of the costumes in the tv show. (The costumes are widely available at Halloween stores and the TV show is often listed under the horror genre)
"A handmaid in The Handmaid's Tale wears a distinct, modest crimson-red uniform designed to symbolize fertility, sin, and total subjugation.
Core Uniform Pieces
Red Dress: A long-sleeved, floor-length, loose-fitting modest red dress.
A heavy, hooded red cloak or cape worn over the dress for outdoor travel.
A stiff, large white wings-like bonnet that frames the face, meant to restrict peripheral vision and prevent the handmaid from seeing or being seen.
Gloves and Shoes: Sturdy, flat brown or black shoes and modest gloves, depending on the season and specific requirements when leaving the household.
Wings/Veils: A detachable white face veil (or "wings") is worn attached to the bonnet when walking outside. In times of mourning within the show, a black cloak and black wings may replace the white.
Identification Tags: Handmaids are stripped of personal identity; in the TV series, they carry a red tag with a serial identifier pinned or fastened to their ear
Or maybe the Ellen James Society from The World According to Garp. In the novel, the group was composed of women who had cut off their tongues in protest at the rape of a child (fictional)
I love the wardrobe design, it is quite creepy and eye catching.
The Handmaiden title is meant to stir fears of religious oppression and total control of women. I find it hysterically ironic to see Stoffer "watching over" these larpers at protests knowing the many accusations against him from his time on the local school board. In the handmaids tale world Stoffer would be at best a " hand" to the commanders, not a commander. IYKYK. It's also ironic they try to tie this oppresion of women imagery to Jake who is a stay home Dad with a wife who clearly is a strong independent person with a career.
MK, yes it was Shenanigans. She saw it from the inside and how Stoffer lied and fooled many people, including her and posted on this site. Frankly, it was shocking the way he hurt so many people.
The meaning of SHENANIGAN is activity or behavior that is not honest or proper
I'm a guy. Right off the bat I get to glance at that and say somewhere there is a brutal positive of this horrible society. Then I realize I don't have a chance. I'll just be another slave in the group if I manage to survive all.
Any guy attracted to any male dominant religion falls into this pattern. Testosterone is a hell of a drug. Every time you look at the guys in your congregation realize that they get to control you. Maybe not you directly, but you know that's the push.
My first wife loved that show. I hated it. It physically hurt me to watch that doom and gloom. It was horrendous. I did not stick around for that show or that wife.
You may feel perfectly secure where you are in your position in society and in whatever religious structure you find yourself in. It's all wonderful for you. The vast majority of people do not feel that way.
I assume your voter registration is perfect. Maybe you took a married name and you've got all your documentation just right. Even the previous divorce documentation since they are allowed to ask for that. Maybe you didn't take the name. Maybe you're not married.
There's a significant chunk of women who are in a situation of documentation not available, at least by the arbitrarily enforced deadline, and will not be able to vote with the level of supposed election security that is being pushed.
But I'm a guy. I don't care. Let's just remove your ability to vote. Generically, women. Shrug. If you don't care, why should I?
They do represent the KKK without the killing and hangings, everything else about their message is the same. Control control control and influence over the naive…..
Jim Stoffer either doesn't know the history of the Klan or he is trying to deflect from it. I do feel sorry for the Democrats. After 160 years they are still upset with the Republicans for freeing their slaves.
"Birth of a Nation" was the first film shown in the White House (February, 1915) and it was screened at the request of then President Woodrow Wilson (Democrat). Reports indicate that he enjoyed it.
Regarding the discussion among the members of Indivisible about the use of a bullhorn at their weekly demonstrations, Lewis Bennett states, "But this is exactly the kind of thing that frustrates me about Democratic politics: being so afraid of offending someone that we become afraid to speak forcefully. Who remembers the 1960s? The Black students and civil-rights activists in the South..." Yes, I was alive in the 60s and attended college in the South. Democrats were definitely not speaking forcefully in favor of civil rights. He is rewriting history before our eyes and hopes you will buy into it. I remember George Wallace (Democrat) standing in the schoolhouse door to oppose school desegregation. Bull Connor (Democrat) turning fire hoses on civil rights demonstrators in Birmingham. James Earl Ray, no registered party affiliation but a supporter of Wallace. With the passage of time all these people, in Mr. Bennet's opinion, have magically become Republicans.
Don't worry, Mr. Bennett, the Democrats are doing a fine job of offending people to this day, even without a bullhorn.
We all know the liberal party is evil and corrupt. They lie, cheat and steal that's why they win. Back door deals that make them rich. They all have mental illness and promote the scams overtaking law and order.
One day they will wake up and realize how lied to and brainwashed they have been. Many have payed attention and that is why the democrat party has lost so many to Independents and Republicans. Sometimes it takes an event that affects their pocket book to cause people to change or some real tragic event.
The underhandedness of the leftists never ceases to amaze me. Instead of legitimate debates on topics, they resort to lies, theft, vandalism, smears, accusations, and violence. One might think that they're not civilized.
It will be a interesting sermon on Sunday (9/13) at the Trinity UMC in Sequim. "Smelly Christians". Those skunks will be lining the pews. Or maybe the handmaids in those sweaty red wool robes.
Ken, Does the sign say "Smelly Christians"? If so, sounds more political than Christian. Will Stoffer be giving the sermon or just collecting from the plate. Amazon has a sale on offering plates he might take advantage of (two for the price of one)
The Revenue Act of 1013 established the tax exempt status for churches. The Revenue Act of 1017 established the tax exemption of trusts. I won't argue the reasoning, but I definitely agree that churches should not be allowed to take grants or other money from any government bucket. The I.R.S. already allows Jim Stoffer's "church' to solicit funds from its congregation for its"parking program" and allows tax deductible contributions for its maintenance, which are then claimed on income tax forms, thereby reducing government revenue. I am not the sharpest knife in the drawer, soliciting funds from the government seems to be in violation of 501(c)(3) rule. 🎵Too Much Monkey Business For Me 🎵
Donald, especially taking money from the poor. Even though the money is government money, the fact is, these are still poor homeless people. The pay to stay policy is telling. Churches have fought bigger battles against suffering. Hiding illegal immigrants is one, but to turn away the needy hasn't been their policy.
On July 20, 2015, Office Assistant Senior Barbara Forbes received a phone call from Clallam County
Sheriff Bill Benedict who wanted to speak with Chief Strachan. He was informed the Chief was out of town
but that someone could call him back.
I called Sheriff Benedict later that day. He advised that recently (I did not get date), Clallam County
deputies were dispatched to investigate a burglary near Sequim. When they got there, they discovered Russ
Holt already dusted for fingerprints. Apparently the burglarized home belongs to his mother in law
Sheriff Benedict said that he later learned that Officer Holt had made disparaging
remarks to neighbors about the Clallam County Sheriff' s Office handling Of the burglary investigation.
Sheriff Benedict asked that the Bremerton police Department talk to Holt and inform him that in the
future, they prefer he act as a good as a good witness and/or guard the scene if he arrives at a crime before
the Clallam County Deputies arrive.
My mother in laws home was burglarized to the amount of $30,000. Evidence left all over the scene including blood drops and shoe prints on the homes bath room wall where the suspect entered through a window . The suspect was right next store living in a sleeping bag in a tree line where had also been harassing and threatening his ex-girlfriend. CCSO never showed up until much later. When on did that deputy did nothing but complaining about my involvement. That deputy never wrote a report never collected evidence never came back to collect evidence even after multiple requests to do so. When I stepped in to help my mother in law contact the sheriff's office the sheriff at the time in Clallam county filed a complaint on me personally to the department I was a Patrol Officer on. So yes this is learned behavior from upper administrative personnel in CCSO attack the victim and or complainant quill any voice of disparaging observations. In the 2018 once again we were abused by CCSO more than likely due to the 2015 incident. Our family cabin was arson. Fire personnel on scene requested a deputy to investigate. One showed up collected evidence made a few comments then left. No report written none of the evidence collected was placed into evidence no investigation. One year later when the tax bill arrived we noticed we were still be taxed for a structure on the property? even thou it is was reported as arson and gone through CCSO to the treasurer, we were told? Not the case. When we had to appeal the property tax for adjustment we learned that the sheriff's office had no report or evidence sheet from the arson only a incident number. They denied any investigation they were shown pictures of the scene showing a deputy on scene a CCSO deputy card given to us with a case number on it and photos showing that deputy collecting bottles, marijuana packets, clothes, and other litter regarding the suspects.
BREAK THE CYCLE - RESET – TREATMENT AND ACCOUNTABILITY
Mayor Lurie Announces San Francisco Has Reached Lowest Level Of Unsheltered Homelessness in 15 Years, benefiting and breaking the cycle of addiction/homelessness/mental instability and reuniting family support.
1) Consolidated the street outreach programs (NGO’s) which streamlines and coordinates programs.
2) Ended distribution of free drug supplies without also connecting with counseling or treatment.
3) Increased new treatment-focused beds.
4) Opened a 24/7 police-friendly crisis stabilization center connecting people in crisis to treatment and recovery.
5) Expanded the city’s Journery Home program to help reconnect people with loved ones outside of San Francisco.
“The collaborative approach also has resulted in improved neighborhood conditions with less trash on the streets and better accessibility along the path of travel.”
Sad we have such negative people like this so active in our community. They give Christians and teachers a bad name. We all know they don’t represent the majority of them.
I am legitimately so sad, all of this, the hate, the smear campaigns on public streets during days that people just want to go home and not see it.

Port Angeles High School? They won't do anything, they never have, I walked out of that place junior year and went to Sequim. I now hate both. Not dislike. Hate.
I don't know how the hate grew so harshly, I don't know why its so hateful, it doesn't matter. What matters is the message it sends to children. The message it sends to teenagers who are already apparently learning from those around them.

I mean a gut wrenching, deep sadness because I grew up around here and if I ever have children, I won't be raising them in Clallam county. Not anymore.
I respect and acknowledge that people have their own opinions as well, these are my opinions. Thank you <3
So sad what the Stoffer and French and Ozias people have wrought upon our once pleasant CC.
A handful of people control this county, because we've been too comfortable and let them.
And too restrained during the lockups, er, lockdowns for two years.
And NOT given the transparency of what is truly being decided behind our backs.....until now. Go CCWD!
Indeed
The accuracy of your observations is a stinging indictment indeed of those more focused on national politics ruining this fine county.
The littany of names are a constant and it's up to those of us upset enough to migrate much of that energy to advocacy.

Precedence transpires when one is not paying attention; ignorance can be deadly.
Tim wheeler happened. And instead of the community shunning him like they should have-- would have a hundred years ago (tar and feathers?), they embraced him as democrat of the year, pioneer of the year, blah, blah, blah.
This!!!!
Fear of being alone, and a sense of belonging causes people sidle up to unknowns, who do not have their best interests at heart; often, quite the contrary.
Why do people feel alone Tim? Drugs, homeless, crime, that’s why they are alone. Cure the problem by putting them with their buddies in jail.
They have been programmed to feel alone, needing a herd to relate to, which makes them prime candidates for protests and demonstrations, which become a feeding frenzy, feeding off each other. Their devices never power down, the electronic babysitter since near-birth.
I agree and my answer to this is : It is a good time to be old we won’t be alive when this country fails.
Ironic that Stoffer would use a Democrat KKK as a fighting point. The organization was founded by the dems and had plenty of members. When you can’t oxplain your inactions in CC then resort to this toxic political agenda. As for the parking lot there is many churches in Sequim that would do this housing RV park for FAR less.

Jeff you show us the hypocrisy that exists with the CC bearacrats The church should have to account for money for Gods sakes alone. Stoffer we are waiting?
Yes jedj, "RV park for FAR less"
Stoffer is not smart enough to know that. He thinks he is being all provocative not knowing he is of the same party that started the KKK.
Another reason to show anyone how smart he really isn’t.
A vote for French is a vote to support and perpetuate drug crimes in Clallam County. Change my mind!
👏👏👏
Sadly can't
The millions and billions in innumerable perks for "tribal" members is infuriating. The people for whom those perks are intended are all dead. The lives lived today by their progeny are unrecognizable to their ancestors with casinos, computers, cell phones, powered vessels, roads, sanitation and more. How the "tribes" or anyone for that matter can track and judge genetic purity of ancestry is a mystery.

Perhaps then take from those ancestries that do not matter and give that to the ancestries that matter - - - more. Or; are we already doing that ?
Garry, I'll give them their ancestry if they give up their sovereignty.
...if we disacknowledge asserted "sovereignty", within our sovereign Republic.
Slaves were discriminated against, killed, hung and were unable to be free to get educations and live like the rest of society did. It was harsh and it was t most tragic. The democrats by the way voted against freeing the black slaves and so our country went to war to FREE the slaved black people.

Abolish the BIA, outdated and not needed.

Common sense Majority will fight back. Imho
I too am an optimist.
Thank god woke is going to bed. That's all I'm going to say about that.
They snort too loud
So much reported on today. Thank you for doing this, Jeff. Jim Stoffer should not criticize or name call anyone after his exposure in the CRC document leaks to his tribal friend. Shame, shame, Jim. The kids with the bloodied Freedom shirts got the idea from someone somewhere. Was the person or group related to the kids, or did the idea stem from the internet? Both? Why did the school initially tolerate the violent message clearly meant for Christians and Jews until parents complained? This is why kids aren't taught to think for themselves, because the adults in charge can't. Schools need to teach and prove they can before anymore tax dollars are given to them.
These kids parents have had the common sense educated out of them.
The heights of education! All grades k-12 and most colleges.
The evidence is clear clallam co is in decay due to bad leadership and if residents want to save their county for the better then legal registered voters better start voting out radical home wreckers like M french & co.
My boyfriend & I would like to know about the “handmaidens” that show up at protests. What are they supposed to represent? They are creepy. They remind me of the KKK- the pot calling the kettle black? Seems like it to me
they are larpers trying to imitate a television show.
Based on a book detailing the oppression women suffer under Sharia Law in the Middle East? ?
Below is a brief description of the book by Atwood. The book was often used in "Women's Studies" courses in colleges. (I guess those classes would be "Gender Studies " now but idk. The TV series on Hulu features Elizabeth Moss as the star and sometimes producer.The series is much darker and more violent than the novel and takes the storyline beyond the novel.

Thank you, Susie!
like the people larping read... ha!
LMAO- only from DSA approved lists
Mimi is correct about the protest larpers.
The intended symbolism of the costumes in the tv show. (The costumes are widely available at Halloween stores and the TV show is often listed under the horror genre)

I love the wardrobe design, it is quite creepy and eye catching.
In the story the tongues of some are cut out for speaking out of line
I'll only ever refer to them as The Red Klan after I heard someone else use that phrase.
Part of the radical progressive playbook is to control language. Don't play into it.
The Handmaiden title is meant to stir fears of religious oppression and total control of women. I find it hysterically ironic to see Stoffer "watching over" these larpers at protests knowing the many accusations against him from his time on the local school board. In the handmaids tale world Stoffer would be at best a " hand" to the commanders, not a commander. IYKYK. It's also ironic they try to tie this oppresion of women imagery to Jake who is a stay home Dad with a wife who clearly is a strong independent person with a career.
Yea, hard to understand how that isn't understood. Shanigans (sp?) talked about Stoffer's controlling demanor extensively.
MK, yes it was Shenanigans. She saw it from the inside and how Stoffer lied and fooled many people, including her and posted on this site. Frankly, it was shocking the way he hurt so many people.
The meaning of SHENANIGAN is activity or behavior that is not honest or proper
It feeds reasonable insecurities.
I'm a guy. Right off the bat I get to glance at that and say somewhere there is a brutal positive of this horrible society. Then I realize I don't have a chance. I'll just be another slave in the group if I manage to survive all.

Democrats were definitely not speaking forcefully in favor of civil rights. He is rewriting history before our eyes and hopes you will buy into it. I remember George Wallace (Democrat) standing in the schoolhouse door to oppose school desegregation. Bull Connor (Democrat) turning fire hoses on civil rights demonstrators in Birmingham. James Earl Ray, no registered party affiliation but a supporter of Wallace. With the passage of time all these people, in Mr. Bennet's opinion, have magically become Republicans.
Don't worry, Mr. Bennett, the Democrats are doing a fine job of offending people to this day, even without a bullhorn.
Stoffer should stick to lasagna. And bodyguards. And waving signs. And herding Handmaidens. And free parking. And false accusations. And ...
Who is hiding behind the masks? What hides behind the masks?
Makes me want to step on their hems while at the same time accidentally adjusting a mask or two…..🥹
We all know the liberal party is evil and corrupt. They lie, cheat and steal that's why they win. Back door deals that make them rich. They all have mental illness and promote the scams overtaking law and order.
One day they will wake up and realize how lied to and brainwashed they have been. Many have payed attention and that is why the democrat party has lost so many to Independents and Republicans. Sometimes it takes an event that affects their pocket book to cause people to change or some real tragic event.
4 reasonable "What's in your wallet?" When there is little to none, it motivates people to action.
The underhandedness of the leftists never ceases to amaze me. Instead of legitimate debates on topics, they resort to lies, theft, vandalism, smears, accusations, and violence. One might think that they're not civilized.
They believe we, those who sit below them, are the uncivilized ones.
It will be a interesting sermon on Sunday (9/13) at the Trinity UMC in Sequim. "Smelly Christians". Those skunks will be lining the pews. Or maybe the handmaids in those sweaty red wool robes.
Sorry, unable to post a pic of the church's sign on N Blake Ave.
Ken, Does the sign say "Smelly Christians"? If so, sounds more political than Christian. Will Stoffer be giving the sermon or just collecting from the plate. Amazon has a sale on offering plates he might take advantage of (two for the price of one)
Stoffer is the stinker
Billy, correct.
Pepe Le Pew? He is such a loser but refuses to give up

No church of Jesus Christ should take government money. The hand providing the handout also holds the shackles.
The Revenue Act of 1013 established the tax exempt status for churches. The Revenue Act of 1017 established the tax exemption of trusts. I won't argue the reasoning, but I definitely agree that churches should not be allowed to take grants or other money from any government bucket. The I.R.S. already allows Jim Stoffer's "church' to solicit funds from its congregation for its"parking program" and allows tax deductible contributions for its maintenance, which are then claimed on income tax forms, thereby reducing government revenue. I am not the sharpest knife in the drawer, soliciting funds from the government seems to be in violation of 501(c)(3) rule. 🎵Too Much Monkey Business For Me 🎵
Donald, especially taking money from the poor. Even though the money is government money, the fact is, these are still poor homeless people. The pay to stay policy is telling. Churches have fought bigger battles against suffering. Hiding illegal immigrants is one, but to turn away the needy hasn't been their policy.

Complaint Narrative
On July 20, 2015, Office Assistant Senior Barbara Forbes received a phone call from Clallam County
Sheriff Bill Benedict who wanted to speak with Chief Strachan. He was informed the Chief was out of town
but that someone could call him back.
I called Sheriff Benedict later that day. He advised that recently (I did not get date), Clallam County
deputies were dispatched to investigate a burglary near Sequim. When they got there, they discovered Russ
Holt already dusted for fingerprints. Apparently the burglarized home belongs to his mother in law
Sheriff Benedict said that he later learned that Officer Holt had made disparaging
remarks to neighbors about the Clallam County Sheriff' s Office handling Of the burglary investigation.
Sheriff Benedict asked that the Bremerton police Department talk to Holt and inform him that in the
future, they prefer he act as a good as a good witness and/or guard the scene if he arrives at a crime before
the Clallam County Deputies arrive.
My mother in laws home was burglarized to the amount of $30,000. Evidence left all over the scene including blood drops and shoe prints on the homes bath room wall where the suspect entered through a window . The suspect was right next store living in a sleeping bag in a tree line where had also been harassing and threatening his ex-girlfriend. CCSO never showed up until much later. When on did that deputy did nothing but complaining about my involvement. That deputy never wrote a report never collected evidence never came back to collect evidence even after multiple requests to do so. When I stepped in to help my mother in law contact the sheriff's office the sheriff at the time in Clallam county filed a complaint on me personally to the department I was a Patrol Officer on. So yes this is learned behavior from upper administrative personnel in CCSO attack the victim and or complainant quill any voice of disparaging observations. In the 2018 once again we were abused by CCSO more than likely due to the 2015 incident. Our family cabin was arson. Fire personnel on scene requested a deputy to investigate. One showed up collected evidence made a few comments then left. No report written none of the evidence collected was placed into evidence no investigation. One year later when the tax bill arrived we noticed we were still be taxed for a structure on the property? even thou it is was reported as arson and gone through CCSO to the treasurer, we were told? Not the case. When we had to appeal the property tax for adjustment we learned that the sheriff's office had no report or evidence sheet from the arson only a incident number. They denied any investigation they were shown pictures of the scene showing a deputy on scene a CCSO deputy card given to us with a case number on it and photos showing that deputy collecting bottles, marijuana packets, clothes, and other litter regarding the suspects.

Sad we have such negative people like this so active in our community. They give Christians and teachers a bad name. We all know they don’t represent the majority of them.
