Reply to B’ McLoughlins post’ – social security not hacked. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IsGdTviSxCo. . THE CHECKS ARE BEING CASHED!! This video with Sen. John Kennedy and his bill should have had a date on it. But the current act is set to expire in 2026. The name of the bill is “Ending Improper Payments to Deceased People Act”— the video was put out by Forbes magazine, a prominent business magazine! Forbes also has a news channel that you can watch on you tube if you get tired of slanted news. It focuses on the economy and business. Kennedy and Carper have now introduced new legislation—the Ending Improper Payments to Deceased People Act—to make the measure permanent. No one will know if anyone is hacking your deceased family members social security. How would you? You send in the death notices and that is the end of it. No more social security checks arrive in your mail!! That is all you know. When my mother died, I had to get lots of death notices to send out to the required people, SS, banks, insurance, and I can’t remember all. When my husband died, I had to do the same. 69 million people receive social security checks every month! There are 3 million deaths on average reported to SS every year. I am sure most of these death benefits are not hacked. But I do not believe that Senator John Kennedy would go to the work of introducing a bill, If there were no reason for it. And he has data! Watch the video? Do you think he is making that up? Why would a senator do that? It takes a lot of work and a lot of time to produce a measure for the Senate to consider.
If I were a new or even old director of an agency I would also deny that social security fraud was happening. The most likely truth is that there is always some fraud in every agency that pays out money.
There are and will be problems with the DOGE audit. I do not feel positive with the shutting down of some SS centers around the United States, and it is true that the elderly, which definitely includes me, have problems with using the internet. I rely on my kids for help. I just tested out a web site that was supposed to show social security offices around the country, wondering if the one in Warrenton is targeted for closurel Probably too soon to tell! This web site wanted you to PAY for the information – 5 bucks – and has a place where you needed to put in your credit card info!! That is so frustrating! Of course I would not pay for that info, it should be free. I am definitely sure that site was not a SS web page. Despite problems and the accompaning hysteria about DOGE. I am all for it – I want a DOGE for Oregon!! It is good for citizens to keep their governments honest!

Vintage wood bi-plane. Replica of WWll aircraft.

Submitted By: Artwithmisskaren@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
I bought this last year a a wood fooorong salvage center. It was sitting curiously on top of a 20’ high stack of reclaimed wood in their warehouse. I didn’t get wood flooring but I walked out with this plane. I thought it would be fun for the art studio. Ends up, not so much really. I found two pretty much exactly the same up in the 300$(give or take) range but I know I paid 150$ so I’m happy to let it go for 100$ leaving some room for retail resale if that’s your goal. It’s heavy duty, probably like 25 lbs or more. Solid wood & metal. Rubber on the wheels and a steel prop that spins. Awesome little dude inside manning the aircraft. Original paint & patina as far as I know. Located in cannon beaches north end.

EYES TO THE SKY

Submitted By: runnawaytrain1@gmx.com – Click to email about this post
A couple decades ago, when I was bartending in New Mexico, I met a Lakota guy from one of the small rezs In South Dakota. We struck up an acquaintance and over the next few weeks drank a bit in the bars around town. His mother had died the previous year, and there was a funeral ceremony for her that would be happening near his family’s home at Crow Creek. He had a headstone made for his mother in Albuquerque, and asked if I wanted to drive him and the headstone to the rez. I said yes. While we were driving across the rolling hills of SD under a full-moon sky, he informed me there was to be a peyote ceremony with one of the last medicine men and I was invited. After the ceremony – round after round of peyote in the teepee, tatanka grazing nearby, me the only white guy, everyone else family – when I was coming down off the peyote and feeling very emotional (long story there), the only comfort I could find was with a flock of chickadees flirting about high in the cottonwoods along a creek.

I like birds. A lot. I like birds more than just about every human I’ve met. I’ve rehabbed or brought to rehabbers lots of birds. I wrote a book about the life of a hawk in the Pacific Northwest. I wrote Headlight Herald editorials in support of the snowy plover program on the Nehalem Spit, the program that is mentioned in the Tillamook Country Pioneer on this site below. As a life-long birdwatcher, I am an outstanding hunter of ducks/geese/pigeons, and I LOVE eating them, even cooking down the bones. My point with all of this is that I LOOK UP AT THE SKY A LOT.

And I have grown quite sick of the Indigo pilots and the DOD’s geoengineering programs. In our part of the country, the planes fly out of Seattle. They spray over us and over Portland when conditions suit them. When they are working, look up and you will see the plumes being laid down by them and then expanding and drifting with the prevailing winds; generally drifting toward the Willamette Valley. When you see them spraying, check one of the FlightTracker apps and you will see that they originate in Seattle, fly around the coast and/or Portland, then return to Seattle.

These pilots are the highest paid of all pilots. The DOD chooses pilots that HAVE NO FAMILY and show themselves to be hardened or sociopathic. Our county commissioners should be investigating this, as well as The Johnson Near Space Center in Tillamook, headquartered at the Tillamook airport. They do high-altitude testing of various types. The county commissioners should be investigating their work.

Someone FINALLY put together a VERY SHORT piece about these pilots and the program. IF YOU LIVE HERE, PLEASE WATCH THIS:

And here is Nicole Shanahan on the DOD’s program. (Billionaire Nicole was married to Google-founder Sergei, they had an autistic kid – 1 in 32 kids here in Amerikkka now – was 1 in twenty-thousand 15 (?) years ago – and she concluded it was government-mandated vaccines that most-likely destroyed her sons life. That woke her up to all sort of government abuse, like the DOD’s geoengineering programs:

And here is super-creep Obama’s CIA director and CNN contributor John Brennan discussing the chemtrail (SAI) program at a CFR event years ago:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffjaigBpbYQ

And the DOD’s geoengineering programs now use satellites and electromagnetic weapons for weather control, this from LBJ in 1962:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79voFUqcPq4

Oregon Democrats should be asking our Senators about the stuff being sprayed over our heads at these useless anti-Trump town halls, but they never will, because Democrats are entirely void of political self-introspection and rational political thought.

And, apparently, Democrats never look up.

Wheeler

enough already with the SS checks hoax

Submitted By: dwieb1@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
As some here have pointed out, this thing about SS checks is absurd. This “controversy” is a good example of a disinformation factory playing us all for fools.

Associated Press Headline from 2/19/2025:
New Social Security chief contradicts claims that millions of dead people are getting payouts
apnews.com/article/social-security-doge-musk-trump-improper-payments-57f9e374e77e7a24fdff3afa294aa7fe

Excerpts from the article linked above:

Lee Dudek, the new acting SSA commissioner who was placed in the role by President Donald Trump, gave the clarification after Trump and billionaire Elon Musk falsely claimed on social media and in news briefings that people who are 100, 200 and even 300 years old are improperly and routinely getting benefits.

So are tens of millions of people over 100 years old receiving benefits?
No.

Part of the confusion comes from Social Security’s software system based on the COBOL programming language, which has a lack of date type. This means that some entries with missing or incomplete birthdates will default to a reference point of more than 150 years ago. The news organization WIRED first reported on the use of COBOL programming language at the Social Security Administration.

Reports from the Social Security Administration’s inspector general in March 2023 and July 2024 state that the agency has not established a new system to properly annotate death information in its database, which included roughly 18.9 million Social Security numbers of people born in 1920 or earlier but were not marked as deceased. This does not mean, however, that these individuals were receiving benefits.

The agency decided not to update the database because the cost would run upward of $9 million.

A July 2023 Social Security OIG report states that “almost none of the numberholders discussed in the report currently receive SSA payments.” As of September 2015, the agency automatically stops payments to people who are older than 115 years old.

My experience with dead people cashing social security checks

Submitted By: barbaraandchuck@nehalemtel.net – Click to email about this post
dixiedarrow@icloud.com doesn’t give a year for this speech by Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana who she says said, “all the dead and extremely old people over 100 years of age that were cashing social security checks. These checks were being cashed! The reason he said, was that all death notices went to just one office in Washington DC, and this office did not share these notices with any other agencies that paid out money to individuals who were entitled by age, disablity, or any other reason.”
www.northcoastbbq.com/2025/03/20/popping-the-sadism-balloon/

But my experience in 2025 was not at all like the above. As many of you know, Chuck of bbq fame, passed away on Feb 14. (Thanks for all the love and support–it means a lot.)

He was getting social security and no checks were involved as it was an automatic deposit, which I assume is the norm these days. The staff at Caldwell Mortuary in Astoria took all the information for his death certificate and said that social security would be notified as a result of the filing of the death certificate. I didn’t even need to call them. And in fact he DID NOT receive any social security in March.

The system is working, at least as far as I have experienced, so I doubt there are dead people cashing social security checks. And if you are living and over 100 you certainly should still be getting your money from Social Security. After all it IS OUR money.
