The first French-Seegers debate is tonight, but a comment from the official Clallam County Democrats Facebook page is raising questions about civility in local politics
When the opposition starts this type of behavior and ad hominem attacks you must be over the target.
If you are not effective they wouldn’t be so aggressive and angry.
I have read dozens of “Watchdog” articles and they are well written and have quotes, documents and links to audio though out.
In my personal experience any conversation with a “left leaning” individual usually disintegrates into personal attacks within a few minutes because they don’t have anything else substantial to say.
The entire cabal that runs Clallam County largely out of D1 disproportionately affecting the West End is understandably upset for two reasons.
The first, and any new reader who doesn't understand the genesis of the Watchdog should know, is that you have engaged civicly after this cabal was upset over you daring to ask questions about the Towne Road fiasco. Not only that but this same cabal attempted to have you arrested for absolutely false claims and failed. The controllers were pissed off and the hits against you kept coming right into the Charter Review Commission. You did what few there out of 15 people there did, you heard what people wanted that equally benefitted the citizens of Clallam County and did your best to represent them, but WE were shut down because of how that same cabal controlled the meetings.
The second reason is that Jake is an absolute threat to the D1 and the somewhat D2 control of our county due to how Commissioners are elected. These controlling types have nothing to directly attack about the substance of Jake's positions, but he's not one of them so they're left with the national political aspersions to attack him.
And so here we are. Does Clallam County want more national and big city politics, or do we want to retain the way of life that is uniquely Clallam County?
Jake is the Wedge to bring us back to the center and that doesn't bode well for the radicals who refuse to represent the everyday people of Clallam County.
Oh, the pearl-clutching from Clallam County's finest tolerance enforcers!
It's almost touching how the official Clallam County Democrats Facebook page—*the very group hosting tonight's debate*—decided to kick things off by branding challenger Jake Seegers as "Fake Jake, the fake independent." Nothing says "civil, inclusive discourse" like a pre-debate nickname straight out of the elementary school playground. But hey, at least they're consistent.
The real question the article dances around is: Why are the Dems so incandescently upset that Jeff Tozzer keeps doing actual journalism?
Jeff doesn't invent conspiracies or dox grandmas. He reads public records, files public records requests, screens meeting videos, and yes—gasp—quotes their own social media posts back at them. That's not "hate." That's called due diligence. In a sane world, this is what we used to call "being a reporter." But in modern Clallam County progressive land, asking "Hey, where exactly did that $5 parcel fee go?" or "Can we see the receipts on these homelessness programs?" is apparently the moral equivalent of book-burning.
So when the truth starts stinging—when the spreadsheets don't add up, when the NGOs keep getting taxpayer cash with minimal results, when the same people preaching "inclusion" start treating anyone right-of-center like a biohazard—their go-to playbook fires up immediately:
1. Slap a cute nickname on your opponent ("Fake Jake"—chef's kiss).
2. Accuse the messenger of hating tribes, trans people, immigrants, libraries, firefighters, puppies, and apple pie.
3. Declare them a Nazi/fascist/bigot/threat to democracy (bonus points if you can work in "threat to our democracy" three times in one post).
4. Refuse to engage with any specific evidence, because engaging might require, you know, facts.
It's the same tired script we've seen for years. Question government spending? Hate. Want transparency on Conservation District meetings? Hate. Point out that "harm reduction" sometimes looks more like enabling? Definitely hate. Meanwhile, the party that claims to be the big tent of empathy can't even resist playground taunts days before sharing a stage with the guy.
The irony is delicious. They host the debate, invite the audience to ask tough questions, then freak out when someone (Jeff) has been asking tough questions for years in public. Suddenly scrutiny is "personal." Suddenly accountability journalism is "promoting hatred."
Perhaps the real "Fake" part isn't Jake—it's the whole performative outrage machine that collapses the moment someone holds up a mirror made of public records.
Keep digging, Jeff. The more they call you names, the more we know you're over the target. And to the Democrats: maybe try debating ideas instead of nicknames? Just a thought from us "haters" in flyover Port Angeles.
Your move, Salsa Picante. We're all waiting for those specific examples and links.
We'll be there in full support for Jake Seegers. I wish we could ask multiple questions. Hmmm like, This question is for Mike, I had a conversation with an ex-employee of yours who referred to you as "creepy and disgusting" to the point she had to quit her job. What exactly did you do to to get that strong of a reaction from your someone under your employ?
We promise to behave and ask a question of both candidates.
The trap has been set but remember the the crazy left can't live in the light of truth. Just ask where the NGO monies are going...
Thanks for the Fake article keep it real all and have a great day
Very clearly what "we" are seeing in our local community is that the Democrats (and I am sure the RINO's) are unable to produce any evidence of their claims because it is in fact nonexistent~! This logically means that these people are simply engaged in wonton and reckless "character assassination" techniques, and uninterested in a civil discourse of any kind, because they well know that they cannot support their positions and overall agenda (which they never really could). Their entire "harm reduction" scam and everything else that they have been shoving down our throats has been supported by obvious deceptions, simple minded Gaslighting techniques. medical malpractice, and the most obvious "fake science" that they have been spewing for years~! They are in fact being destroyed by their own decades of lies and deceit~! Just like little spoiled brats, which I would bet that they really were/are, they resort to threats, temper tantrums, blaming their victims, and wild name calling, when they realize that they have been caught red handed like little children with their dirty little hands in moms' purse~! These obviously childish weak efforts to harm Jake Seegers effort to be elected, actually proves that the local criminal cabal, that has been having its way with the good folks of Clallam County, knows that they have been engaged in criminal activity AND they are afraid of losing power and being discovered for the filthy treasonous rats that they really are~! So, what at first appears to be disturbing, is actually "good news" because it further reveals the evil "Black Hand" that has been controlling our community and ignoring our freedom, rights, and honest votes for many years from behind the scenes~! I wish Jake Seegers the best of luck at this debate, however I am sure that he is well aware that the criminal cabal within our community will unlikely adhere to civilized behavior or provide a fair and reasonable venue for the debate. Democrats and RINO's holding a "debate" will almost definitely become just another ambush, as we have all seen in so-called "debates" for many years now... When one side of a debate can't reasonably and honestly support their position, they usually stoop to underhanded and very evil tactics... Furthermore, even though I see an obviously tremendous and growing support for Jake Seegers in his bid to be elected as a County Commissioner, and I hope that he is, our elections are VERY clearly rigged and corrupted, so we need good folks to completely overwhelm the "cheating machine" in very large numbers in November~! Assuming that this November's election goes off as scheduled ;-) Have a great week and keep up the awesome work~!
The 'Fake Jake' name-calling is exactly what happens when you don't have reality on your side.
In the last week alone, I've learned from leftists—delivered with absolute certainty—that some historical cultures conceived babies without the biological requirement of male and female DNA, and that our president thinks Epstein delivered baby flesh tastes like cream cheese.
Pair that with the genius I saw driving a Tesla Plaid with an anti-Musk sticker, and the pattern is clear: they don't demand wisdom or consistency from themselves.
These people are easy to debate because they don’t live in reality anymore, choosing instead some ideological Pokémon GO alternate universe to pretend together in.
They just repeat the same jingoistic battle cries of their cult, no matter how ridiculous or recent. They don't care about the truth, the science, or the bald facts. They care about securing power over you and your world.
Debate hard, sir. Go to the end. Stand and stand and stand.
For a party that put Joe Biden on the debate stage maybe we can have a repeat from Frenchie. He will know the ?s and no answers that are factual. I hope it is a real debate and not another dirty dem tactic Good luck Jake!
During these times, nonsense self-sabotages. We play the long game. I know I'm (we're) tired and I'm truly thankful that Jake has stepped up to the plate.
Like a probing dentist, you’ve hit the bad tooth and the patient is yelping in pain. You are on to their antics and they know it. No need to defend yourself. Stay the course with confidence.
The common thread that is running through current politics nationwide, and seeping into local politics, is kind of like a 5-year old sandbox fight we used to see, where name-calling and mud-throwing evolved into crying, pushing, and destroying the castles. If the bigger kids could get away with it, the little kids would follow, until some get hurt, the moms come out with screaming at moms, and the sandbox is closed down. Seeing a national leader "elected" to lead and represent us teach name-calling and revenge mud-throwing as OK is not good for our future and communities. Makes me want to puke. Whats next? Armed bullys in the streets?
When the opposition starts this type of behavior and ad hominem attacks you must be over the target.

Walking into the hornets nest!
This will be very interesting for sure. I'm impressed with you Jeff and Jake, and anyone else that can make.
Oh, the pearl-clutching from Clallam County's finest tolerance enforcers!

Your move, Salsa Picante. We're all waiting for those specific examples and links.
Jeff, and now Jake, are trying to bring balance back to Clallam County.
I believe the majority of the citizens want it this way. Not left, not right, reasonably in the middle.
God morning Jeff and Doggers,
We'll be there in full support for Jake Seegers. I wish we could ask multiple questions. Hmmm like, This question is for Mike, I had a conversation with an ex-employee of yours who referred to you as "creepy and disgusting" to the point she had to quit her job.

Reality doesn't break.
But the leftist nartative will.
Drench French!
Dirty politics exists at all levels.
Bench French! LOL! Again, I just can't help myself:)
Wow……I’ve never been in a cult before!!!🤣
I will absolutely orbit anyone who brings sanity into this absolutely INSANE county!!!
For a party that put Joe Biden on the debate stage maybe we can have a repeat from Frenchie. He will know the ?s and no answers that are factual. I hope it is a real debate and not another dirty dem tactic Good luck Jake!
The only real honest debate in this county could ever come from the Calico Cat Club.
During these times, nonsense self-sabotages. We play the long game. I know I'm (we're) tired and I'm truly thankful that Jake has stepped up to the plate.
This weekend I wrote about this idea of how certain over-extended systems tend to self-destruct (one of my general themes). I'm trying to explain why Psalm 37 is a reality. https://davidzelenka.substack.com/p/the-suicidal-attractor
As usual, immensely thought provoking.
