Dine Local!

Submitted By: hiway53guy@nehalemtel.net – Click to email about this post
My lovely wife and I recently had the good fortune to have a delicious dinner at one of our wonderful local restaurants…. I believe it’s called Mama Mias Italian.
Located in beautiful downtown Nehalem, across the street from our handy dandy Nehalem Food Mart, our pizza pie and superb roasted beet salad, coupled with bread sticks (with motzerella) and sizzling apple pie with ice cream on top for dessert ended up being one of the best dining out experiences this author has had for quite a while!
Debbie and her crew served up our dinner in a jiffy, despite being very busy with the crowd of folks going to the NCRD play after their meal-they knew a good place to sup before hitting the North Coast cultural happening!!
Just sayin… Keep it up Girl!

Medicaid Fraud

Submitted By: dixiedarrow@icloud.com – Click to email about this post
According to the records:
Mar 9, 2023 — Taxpayers are losing more than $100 billion a year to Medicare and Medicaid fraud, according to estimates from the National Health Care Anti-Fraud Association.

Feb 11, 2025 — A New York doctor was found guilty yesterday by a federal jury for causing the submission of over $24 million in fraudulent claims to Medicare.

Office of Public Affairs | Lab Operator Convicted of $4M Medicare Fraud Scheme…….

And so on…………………yes lots more!! tons more medicaid fraud on the internet…….
The internet also describes all types of ways to defraud medicare and medicaid.

I was hoping that some of the state medicaid/medicare fraud would be investigated by DOGE and made public and maybe it will….and I think the persons who perpetuates these schemes should go to prison definitely!

But cutting medicaid is not eliminating medicaid, we don’t know what will happen yet – and I say to Democrats – if you are going to cry, wait until IT (what ever IT will be) is settled. There are some suggested solutions to these cuts, you can find on the internet.- Millionaires and billionaires? HEY – you Democrats always mention them! You don’t like them. I looked up the amount of money Nancy Pelosi is worth, while she is stealing millions from USAID, and the two Democratic Senators that came to Portland to tell you that voting Democrat is your only solution? They are all worth millions!!!
HA HA

MY question to myself is, are Democrats daft? What’s wrong with them?
Answer your own questions, do research, You Democrats are living in a state of fear and you are over-reacting. Wait till the dust settles. then see what you have!!

We have an interesting problem in this “sanctuary state”. Undocumented persons are getting many benefits including medicaid!! So if it has to be rationed, who should get it? undocumented persons or Oregon citizens? thats going to be a real hard choice, isn’t it? Easy for me!

So – back to medicaid cuts – will they hurt children, elderly, etc.? Yes they will, and the stealing from medicaid also hurts the elderly and children too, by taking away available treatment and pharmaceutical money. When I found out about this fraud several years ago, I was really mad and have been mad for a long time because of this abuse of medicaid dollars, and I am still mad!

Why keep putting put $100 billion dollars in a program every year to lose it to fraud?
Will cuts stop the fraud? It is up to your Democratic state to decide where to put these dollars.
AND THATS THAT!

In your name, the meaning of USAID cuts

Submitted By: genedieken@yahoo.com – Click to email about this post
Elon Musk’s first DOGE targets were aid programs operated or supported by the United States Agency for International Development. Recently Marco Rubio, U.S. Secretary of State and acting administrator of USAID, assured us that essential programs would not be cut. That was a lie.

As Ash Wednesday and Lent approach, this fallen-away Presbyterian would like to suggest that a way to to earn God’s grace during Lent might be give up feeling powerless and do something, no matter how seemingly small, to oppose this evil.

Atul Gawande, former Assistant Administrator for Global Health at USAID, compiled this list of terminated programs:

1. All malaria supplies protecting 53 million people, mostly children, including bed nets, diagnostics, preventive drugs, and treatments – terminated.

2. All tuberculosis programs, including the Global TB Drug Facility – terminated.

3. All supplies of US-manufactured emergency food packets for starving children on the brink of death – terminated.

4. USAID’s contract supporting deadly outbreak prevention, detection, and response, including Ebola and Bird Flu, in 50 countries – terminated.

5. All deployable U.S. teams for earthquake assistance – terminated.

6. All U.S.-backed development programming in Afghanistan, including maternal and child health services and girls education – terminated. (Estimated to cause >1,200 maternal deaths by 2028.).

7. Over 1,000 food kitchens in Sudan, a country with almost 25 million people experiencing acute food insecurity – terminated.

8. USAID’s contract for supplying essential medicines for maternal and child health in countries worldwide – terminated.

9. Services from the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation – just one organization – reaching 350,000 people on HIV treatment, including nearly 10,000 children and more than 10,000 HIV-positive pregnant women – terminated.

10. Every USAID program in the former Soviet countries in Central Asia, including health programs to combat rampant tuberculosis, along with agricultural programs – terminated.

11. Screening program with the Mexican government to identify illicit drugs like fentanyl being smuggled at the US border.

12. A project in the Democratic Republic of Congo that operates the only source of water for camps with 250,000 displaced people in camps located in the center of current conflict.

Here’s a non-paywalled NYT article listing many other USAID cuts:

Support for Ukraine and European allies

Submitted By: t655oni@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Dear Friends of Ukraine and European allies:

We were appalled, embarrassed, and outraged by the bullying behavior of Trump and Vance in their meeting with Zelensky. It was unbecoming of our country’s leaders and demonstrates their unfitness to lead this country. We do not believe, as Trump and Vance do, that Russia is our ally. Russia is an outlaw state run by a dictator and his cronies. Is America really aligned now with Russia, North Korea, and Belarus against our allies in the United Nations?

Ukraine is our ally and is fighting for its freedom against Russia’s unprovoked attack. Ukrainians are fighting and dying for our freedoms and for our European allies. Like many of you, we have wondered how we can help since we don’t have Musk’s resources, but we decided that we cannot stand by and watch the systematic destruction of America’s credibility and reliability.

We have decided to help Ukraine directly to counter the Trump administration’s reversal of America’s longstanding support of democracy and its tilt away from our allies toward Russia. On Saturday, March 1, we sent $1000 directly to the Ukrainian government through United24 to be used for defense. It’s also possible to donate for humanitarian, medical, and rebuilding efforts. The website provides detailed reports on how the $1.4 billion in contributions has been spent so far. Check out Wikipedia for more information about United24.

We hope you will consider joining us in supporting Ukraine as Trump and Vance abandon our traditional and steadfast allies.

Regards,

Chip and Toni Greening

Trump: MEGA fraud

Submitted By: runnawaytrain1@gmx.com – Click to email about this post
The recent Gaza video that Trump retweeted is pretty gross, but he’s a pretty gross guy, always has been. I’ll always remember that poor tiger he dyed white and then had as a pet at the top of his NYC penthouse. And I’ll remember Don Jr. shooting a giraffe for fun. Sh*t breeds sh*t.

The Epstein ‘file release’ was TOTAL bs, all he/they did is release what Gawker released 10 years ago and LIE TO ALL OF MAGA ABOUT IT. Also, most of Epstein’s crimes are financial and running drugs and running guns for Israel and the CIA, and funding the tech bros that are actively working to turn us into brain-implant slaves with Saudi money, and of course Bondi knows all of this and is now proven to be FULL OF SH*T as her only comment after her FAKE AS HELL ‘document release’ was “what he did is pretty sick”. We know that, Pam, what we don’t know is the full accounting of the Mossad’s blackmail operation on American soil (THAT ALLOWS ISRAEL TO LEAD US TO WAR AGAIN AND AGAIN) that you and The Don won’t discuss, because yo are also surrounded by war scum, Zionist hell-bound swine and banker scum – the exact sorts that got Israel-loving Palestinian-child-killing The Don his BIG MONEY start.

Roy Cohn anyone?

And the above is STILL a baby step, as EPSTEIN IS ALIVE AND THEY KNOW IT. MEGA MEGA MEGA DUH!!!!!!!!!!!!! Epstein is alive, and they know it. Reread as necessary. (remember, the cameras weren’t working?) The Mossad/CIA got one of their TOP GUYS OUT, like super-duper duh people. I’s been done stateside with billionaire’s before.

And this dictate to Ukraine ‘give us your minerals for our weapons we gave you to defend yourselves FROM THE WAR WE STARTED’ being tossed about by the lying whore Donald Trump was always part of the destroy Ukraine (killing Christians or otherwise, The Don does’t care) crowd, starting when mass-murderers OBAMA and VICTORIA NULAND overthrew the democratically-elected gov’t of Ukraine in 2014. Like Barak, The Don is a con. He can go to hell, along with Elon, who is SETTING UP A TOTAL GLOBAL SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM with EVERY ROCKET LAUNCH. Yup, every launch drops satellites for the Mossad/CIA spy-on-the-world crowd. Methinks this Mars talk is TOTAL bs, a cover.

And I’ve had enough fun watching government pigs squirm as their disgusting anti-American anti-human work (USAID. etc.) is shown to the world (as opposed to the many in government that actually do important work for our democracy), now I want real-world results. Alas, all this USAID stuff, while fun to watch, is merely tasty crumbs compared to the hell The Don is helping the war-scum antihuman trans-humanists (most were Dems last month, now they are GOP, cuz Google Earth told them which way the wind was blowing) build to enslave us.

Now I want to see The Don squirm, the lying arrogant anti-Christ

Ether MAGA wakes up and makes the Don squirm or this admin is already over and useless.

Oh, the NJ drones, he won’t tell us. All he is doing is covering it up. Big Time. He said the US knew about them, left it at that. Along with Alex Jones and everyone else ******* The Don’s ****/techno ****, we will not be told by the CORRUPT FEDS (TRUMP ADMIN) what the NJ drones were all about.

And do you know why there will NEVER be an inquiry (but there will be more cover-ups/fake inquiries) into the two ‘assassination attempts’? Because they were STAGED by the Don and his friends in the transhumanist intel cult. Butler: he drops down, squeezes a blood pack when OFF CAMERA, then the SS lets him stand on stage at THE CRITICAL (ACTIVE SHOOTER) moment for the ‘fight fight fight’ foto op.

PA was also a swing state, and popularity ALWAYS goes up after assassination attempts. It was staged, 100%. I’ll take that to my grave. Also no mark on the ear seen until after surgery or skin-clip or whatever, weeks later.

And Trump now wants mRNA shots tailored for individuals using artificial intelligence from the SiliCON Valley Tech bros???? God help anyone who puts that frankengoo into their bodies. From Larry Ellison nonetheless, the guy who ripped off millions from the State of Oregon AND then bought the island of Lanaii. (I’m confident Pele will destroy what is left of his psychopath soul.) And if you thought the ‘covid’ shot was bad: didn’t stop transmission, made millions sick, killed millions, made Bill Gates and Bezos and Zuckerberg and the like DOUBLE THE BILLIONS AND FURTHER CEMENT THE CONTROL OVER US THEY ALREADY HAD, (Hmmmmmmm….almost as if the entire thing, the ‘pandemic’, was cooked up in a lab or something…) well, go ahead and shoot some gene-therapy mRNA-tech from Trump and Elon and Ellison and destroy your immune system for good.

Then, just wait and see what your freedom looks like when these TRUMPIAN TECH SCUM GET RID OF CASH and take total control of your economic life with Trump’s surveillable programmable digital currency. (Didn’t seem so bad when the Dems were in power though, did it?? Fools!) Left Coast and all the other local ‘NO CASH’ businesses will love it though, cuz they won’t have to walk three blocks to the bank and touch the dirty cash. And if you use cards and Apple Pay and not cash you will love it too. Until you realize DONALD TRUMP AND ELON MUSK HAVE TOTAL CONTROL OF YOUR DIGITAL CURRENCY AND HOW YOU ARE PERMITTED TO SPEND IT.

Digital currency summit at the White House this week! Yay!!!!!! Bye bye cash. Covidiots were all on board, until The Don got in power…

He faked the assassination attempt, and now we see his admin is fake.

Trump to hell, and that is exactly where he is going. The only question left is how much of MAGA will follow him into the hell that took deep root in our Democrat-run country over the last four years.

RIVERBEND PLAYERS AUDITIONS FOR THE COMEDY ‘SORDID LIVES’ TOMORROW AND TUESDAY

Submitted By: admin@riverbendplayers.org – Click to email about this post

SORDID LIVES OPEN AUDITIONS TOMORROW AND TUESDAY, MARCH 3rd and MARCH 4th

CAST OF CHARACTERS: 7 WOMEN / 6 MEN

Open auditions for all 13 parts will be held at the NCRD Performing Arts Center from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m.

Audition details are available at www.riverbendplayers.org

Special Audition Notice:
Riverbend Players seeks a triple-threat actress for the role of Bitsy Mae Harling in SORDID LIVES (played in the movie by Olivia Newton-John).
Bitsy Mae is a sassy, charming, down-on-her-luck country singer with a heart of gold. Think Dolly Parton meets a touch of Reba. Must sing country/blues, play guitar proficiently, and possess some acting skills. Email the director, Frank Squillo, at fsquillo@riverbendplayers.org

SORDID LIVES is a dark comedy set in a small Texas town, revolving around the eccentric Turpin family and their friends as they grapple with the sudden and embarrassing death of the family matriarch.

Peggy’s demise occurs during an illicit tryst in a seedy motel room with her younger, married neighbor, resulting in a hilariously scandalous cover-up.

As the family prepares for Peggy’s funeral, long-buried secrets and family tensions erupt, leading to a series of outrageous events.

The play satirizes small-town life, family dysfunction, and societal prejudices with a sharp wit and a deep affection for its flawed but lovable characters.

SORDID LIVES celebrates individuality and acceptance, even in the face of the most “sordid” circumstances.

It’s a raucous and heartwarming story about finding your place in a world that often tries to define you.

RATED MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY: ‘Sordid Lives’ is intended for mature audiences. The play contains comedic depictions of sensitive topics, including infidelity, mental health, LGBTQ+ issues, strong language, sexual content and innuendos, and situations not suitable for children or some younger audiences. Audience discretion is advised.

Writers to Celebrate the Rising Tide in Stories, Poems at Library Event

Submitted By: nmccarthy1276@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
A rising tide lifts all boats, but for 13 writers who will participate in the Writers Read Celebration at the Cannon Beach Library on March 7, a rising tide is the theme flowing through their stories and poems.

From shipwrecks to wrack lines, the pieces to be read by Oregon, Washington and Canadian writers explore the meanings and metaphors of “rising tide,” this year’s theme for the library’s annual writing project.

The seventh annual Writers Read Celebration will begin at 7 p.m.; admission is free. People can attend in person at the library, 131 Hemlock St., or online; the link will be on the library’s website, cannonbeachlibrary.org.

Fifteen pieces to be read include stories, poems and haikus. Topics include a woman who lifts a whale off the beach, flowers floating from Ukraine, a body to be buried, a morning and evening spent at Haystack Rock and a nod to political currents.

This is the seventh year that the library’s NW Authors Series Committee asked writers from everywhere to submit works on a specific theme. Writers could submit up to three entries in any format limited to 600 words per entry.

Of the 85 entries, the committee, after a blind reading, selected 15 pieces to be read by 13 writers. One of those writers is from Alberta, Canada.

Those invited to read this year were:
John Ciminello, Naselle, WA, poem: King Tides at Cape Disappointment
Deanna Duplechain, Seaside, OR, short story: Seeing Saturday
Christie Ellis, Astoria, flash fiction: All at Sea
Kristi Lund, Nehalem, OR, poem: Heeding the Tide

About the new Health Center and Pharmacy
• The new Nehalem Bay Health Center and Pharmacy is a project of the Nehalem Bay Health District, an Oregon special district that has existed since the early 1950’s. The
District also owns the Nehalem Valley Care Center, the old Wheeler hospital and the current clinic building on Rowe Street in Wheeler.
• The decision to develop a new Health Center was driven by space limitations in the current clinic, as well as limits on the number of patients who can be served and
services that can be provided.
• The new Health Center will have 15 exam and procedure rooms, a major upgrade from the existing facility, allowing space to accommodate specialty
services, including x-ray and dental.

Have questions?
• Email the Health District at: info@nehalembayhd.org

The first concert will take place on Saturday, March 15, at the Nehalem Elementary School Gym (36300 8th St., Nehalem, OR) beginning at 3:00 pm.
The second concert will be on Sunday, March 16, at the Bob Chisholm Community Center (1225 Avenue A, Seaside, OR) beginning at 3:00 pm.
