THE LEMMING SYNDROME

Submitted By: dixiedarrow@icloud.com – Click to email about this post
THE LEMMING SYNDROME -This refers to a phenomenon wherein crowds of people, across various fields of life, exhibit a certain kind of behaviour for no reason other than the fact that a majority of their peers do so. Many psychologists even argue that human beings are conditioned by nature to follow the larger group instead of undertaking the risk of independent thought and action.

YES INDEED! As I was watching the throngs of protestors marching to protest what they don’t understand, I was reminded of lemmings running towards and tumbling over a cliff in a mad scramble…..(there are views on you tube! ). – YEP these crowds reminded me of lemmings!

Thats the Democrats and others I guess -Instead of trying to figure out what is happening, what is next, and /or what went wrong – Its over the cliff for them…….

I did recently ask a Democratic group what they believed in and for a long time got no reply but finally someone did and they questioned my question because they did not have an answer to it! I mentioned to them that Democrats, according to CNN which is lefty news that the Democrats today only have a 29% voter approval rate! Didn’t you know? I asked. If I were a Democrat I would be working on the problem …. But I think they want to blame others – (I am the problem?) not sure! I am an Independent voter.

Anyway the problem is that many things are changing and it is scary, and people don’t like change. Also these persons have very little understanding of their government, or history, or math and they tend to be lead by others with fake and questionable motives who tell familiar story lines that these people find compelling and attractive. They use the word Democracy a lot – And I am quite positive by this time that these protesting persons do not know what Democracy means.

The US government is spending over $1 trillion annually on interest payments on the national debt, The interest on the national debt is 93.8 billion per month according to A I!!
Who is going to pay that? Thats just the interest. Our debt is bigger than our GDP.
And that is what made me realize that we are in deep doo doo. HENCE DOGE – ok?

It is just like a household where all of a sudden it comes to light – that the party that handles the finances has secretly re-mortgaged the house several times over to pay off charged debt and now there is no equity left in the home they have lived-in for 20 years! That happened to 2 friends of mine! Using a charge card without restraint is an addiction I believe, and it left a friend of mine on the verge of retirement with no home equity. Retired with only social security – is a bad place to be. And that is the USA Today – we have massive debt. Our GDP cannot handle our debt and pay bills at the same time, and it appears that the two biggest unfunded programs we have are social security and and medicaid !!!! We can’t just keep printing money – that leads to massive inflation. And our dollar becomes worthless! Under Biden the inflation rate went to 5.2 according to the GAO – the Government Accounting Office.

In closing, although there is much more to say – What is happening today is an attempt to keep America from defaulting on its debt – a mad scramble to find all that is considered fraud, waste and abuse, so to bring back financial health to our economy. President Trump has signed several contracts with chip makers and automobile mfgrs to create more jobs here. Tariffs, which I was taught in school, were meant to protect the American worker, and the middle class, which was mostly destroyed by NAFTA.
Bringing more jobs into our country will stabilize this countries economy. That is what we want and need!

Put on a lemming mask and protest if you want to, but your energy would be better spent in trying to solve some of the many massive problems in our country and here at home in Oregon.

WONDER GARDEN PLANT SALE: PLANT PREVIEW #2!

Submitted By: ketzel.levine@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
The countdown continues till the Hoffman Wonder Garden’s Plant Sale:

SAT, APR 26th
10-12pm
Inside the Hoffman Center for the Arts

Yesterday, we profiled the horned poppy, which we’ll offer in two delicious colors. Here’s the link if you missed that post ‘cause you do not want to miss out on this plant:
www.northcoastbbq.com/2025/04/19/wonder-garden-plant-sale-the-plant-previews-begin/

Today we’ve got the inside line on a manzanita we’ve never been able to offer before, easily the most unusual manzi selection we grow: Arctostaphylos ‘Diablo’s Blush’.

People often mistake this slow-growing work of art is as a sedum. No lie. I mean, if you know your plants, you’ll know that confusing a manzi and a sedum is TOTALLY NUTS.

And yet, it’s an easy mistake to make! The foliage on this diminutive beauty looks absolutely succulent.
Its new growth is quite blue and its leaves are stacked in an upright manner that defies the rules of any manzi foliage you’ve ever seen. And after at least 5 years in the Wonder Garden (it lives near the big Hollywood Juniper along Laneda), it’s barely 18” tall. A rock garden specimen of a manzanita!

In full sun, mulched in gravel and no water after it’s established, Arctostaphylos ‘Diablo’s Blush’ is a heart throb. We’re smitten.

See you at the WG Plant Sale!

Fencing Contractor Recommendation

Submitted By: billiegreenway@live.com – Click to email about this post
On a recommendation from Nehalem Lumber we hired Matt Micke at Love Your Neighbor Fencing (CCB #239919) to replace our old cedar fence. He came to the house within a couple of days of initial contact, (on a Saturday), and went through the design options with us. After we had decided on what we wanted, he agreed to customize with a sturdy decorative top to give the structure some pizazz.
Matt told us when to expect him for project start and about how long it would take. He was ALWAYS ON THE JOB WHEN HE SAID HE WOULD BE and the fence was finished when he estimated, even with a couple of tweaks we jointly agreed to.
We highly recommend this energetic, thorough gentleman for your fencing project.
Billie and Mike Greenway

MAGA beware!

MAGA beware!

…and fight against this Orwellian surveillance tech (link below) and against REAL ID, cuz Dems fully support totalitarian government as long as Dems are running it! (Do you want President AOC to have access to this totalitarian power?)

Principled MAGA members need to fight this; for it will be used against ALL AMERICANS once they get the system in place. The fascists are now using ‘illegal migrants’ as the excuse for its implementation. Imagine the Clintons and Obamas with this power of total real-time ubiquitous surveillance and monetary control. Imagine AOC or Kamala or Ron Wyden with this power.

I cannot stress this enough to MAGA folks; YOU are the resistance (Democrats are worthless at resisting anything but common sense) and this country needs ya’ll to keep fighting against the SiliCON Valley boys and their banker masters who are developing a global surveillance system for the Mossad/CIA/banksters, via Musk/Biden, and now via Trump, and via Pay Pal Mafia’s German-born anti-American childless Peter Theil’s Palantir, to be used against Americans, using illegal immigration as the smokescreen for its implementation.

And MAGA, please join me in fighting to keep cash and getting rid of digital/programmable/surveillable currencies from our lives. Those currencies are ANTI-FREEDOM and ANTI-AMERICAN which is why the banking thugs want them implemented so badly. Dems LOVE programable and surveillance digital currency. Too much gas use this month? You’re cut-off! Don’t support feds funding gender-reassignment surgery? You’re cut off! Write a post saying you think all immigrants should come here LEGALLY? You’re cut-off! etc. You can see how AOC-types would destroy what’s left our freedom if they can control MAGA’s access to money. (As was done in Canada by communist Trudeau during the trucker protests: banking accounts were seized by the ‘progressive’ government because the truckers’ opposed the World Economic Forum-inspired Big Farma Big Banker mRNA ‘vaccine’ mandates for truckers in KKKanada.)

MAGA: we are fighting fascism in a real way, but it’s digital, smoke-screened, hard to see. Musk’s satellites that he drops for Palantir (not for Mars colonization) are setting up this global totalitarian government surveillance, and neither he nor Thiel care if Dems or MAGA is is running the government.

www.businessinsider.com/ice-palantir-new-technology-30-million-visa-overstays-self-deportation-2025-4

And here is why I don’t listen to a damn thing anti-trump liberals say: when Dems they don’t even notice, much less resist it:

From above article: “The new agreement is an extension of a contract the BIDEN ADMINISTRATION signed with the defense contractor in 2022 for “operations and maintenance” support services. The Department of Homeland Security first contracted Palantir to build its case management system in 2014.” (2014 = Obama)

Dems could care less if their leaders bring fascism to those they don’t agree with. Dems are straight-up the party of intolerance.

And now Dems have aligned with America’s number two fascist, number one fascist Dick Cheney’s daughter Lizzo!!!!

Here is what Dick did (his daughter is Dick 2.0):

Coordinated the 9/11 attacks with Israel and Saudi Arabia, killing 3,000+ American civilians. And in the wars launched thereafter, killed thousands of American soldiers, and millions of Middle Eastern folks while destroying their countries and stealing their oil.

Used 9/11 to implement the fascistic authoritarian anti-American anti-patriot ‘Patriot Act’ (You know, the thousand-page legal document that was prepared well-BEFORE 9/11, signed into law after Cheney terrorized the American public and politicians with the Anthrax attacks.)

Then Dick’s daughter Lizzo used The Patriot Act to throw innocent Americans into jail for years, some sentenced for decades, for protesting the 2020 election which was by all accounts, in my view, stolen by the Clinton/Biden/Obama/CIA/FBI crowd. They jailed patriots as part of their anti-American anti-Trump political warfare fascism, and they used Dick’s Patriot Act to get the draconian sentences.

DIck and Lizzo are part of the ‘Never Trump’ movement. I wonder why???

MAGA beware! Like digital border security and digital cash currently being implemented by Trump, the right was convinced to support the ‘patriot act’ to ‘fight terrorism’. Many of us knew and raised flags that the nazi-esque anti-American legislation would be used AGAINST PATRIOTS. Number two fascist Lizzo proved us right, running the Jan. 6th show-trials for the CIA/FBI/DEM-aligned bankers, etc.

And now Dems are aligned with Liz Cheney!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Go MAGA!!!! AMERICAN NEEDS YA’LL TO STAY ON COURSE AND VIGILANT!!!

BONUS!

Here is a great, real-time look at how limited hangouts and the Deep State work!

The ‘covid’ viruses were engineered in labs and RELEASED intentionally. There was no lab leak. There was intentional release. Here is Trump covering for the DOD/Mossad/Gates/Musk/Bankers, etc., the profiteers from Pandemic Number One (as named by Gates, as ‘pandemic number two’ is in the hopper), who released the pathogens, terrorized Americans, and killed hundreds of thousands of social security recipients.

Again, there was no lab leak, the viruses were released very much intentionally.

TRASH BASH Returns to White Clover Grange

Submitted By: jessi@heartofcartm.org – Click to email about this post
Mark your calendars, neighbors! The Trash Bash Art Festival is back at White Clover Grange May 15–18, and you’re invited to join the fun. Hosted by Heart of Cartm, this much-loved event celebrates the creativity and resourcefulness of our community. Did you know that Trash Bash includes 3 events?

Kicking things off is the Trash Art Gallery Opening on Thursday, May 15 from 5–9pm —the original Trash Bash event that brings together trash artists, trash art lovers, and the trash-curious for an evening of inspiration and awe. You’ll get the first look (and opportunity to buy) works of art made entirely from discarded and found materials.

Thursday night heats up with the Trash Art Slam – fast-paced, live art creation entertainment. Think of it like a baking competition—only with power tools and found objects. Watch and learn as local artists race to create brand-new artworks from a huge pile of parts in just two hours. The finished pieces will go straight into the gallery, ready for sale. Thanks to Niblack Events, attendees will be offered an array of delicious appetizers and drinks.

Friday evening, May 16, 5-7pm is Trash Tales – an event where trash becomes a powerful entry point into conversations about memory, meaning, and environmental stewardship. There may be hilarious dumpster diving adventures, sorrowful poems for things lost to time, or sweet songs of found treasures. Storytelling is a vital part of building community—when we share our experiences, we create space for connection, understanding, and new perspectives. Niblack Events will be back with another spread of delightful snacks and a full bar.

Saturday, May 17, is the Trashion Show, a stunning show of Spring Fashions made entirely out of discards. This event challenges the unsustainable systems that flood the world with waste. Trash Fashion turns discards into bold and creative statements. The party starts at 4:00 with local Gnarly’s Taco Truck, a list of local libations, and costume crafting on the lawn! Seating for the runway show begins at 5:00. Stay for the after party with DJ HIHAT, a young local, ready to keep you dancing!
So grab your friends, bring the family, and come experience the creativity bursting from our little corner of the coast. Whether you show up to cheer on a local artist, find the perfect weird-and-wonderful gift, or just enjoy a lively evening out, Trash Bash is the place to be.
All events take place at White Clover Grange in Nehalem, May 15–18. Tickets are available on our website at www.heartofcartm.org.
Trash Bash is about celebrating what we can do when we think creatively together. It’s inspiring, a little wild, and a whole lot of fun!

From The Heart,
Jessi & The Heart of CARTM Team
