Dear Community,

Thank you for your unwavering support. We are heartened by the amazing community involvement during our chase for the Ways and Means Capital Construction dollars at the Oregon Legislature. In 48 hours you submitted 120 letters of support to the Ways and Means Committee. Most local government bodies and nonprofit organizations also wrote letters of support. We thank Senator Weber for putting in the original request. This truly is a community that cares.

We tried hard to carry that energy to Salem, including putting together a support package and traveling to Salem to give testimony. Unfortunately, North County Food Bank did not receive the state funds.

While these funds were important, the food bank is still pushing forward with bringing utilities onto our property behind the Hope Chest on 101 in Nehalem. We are looking at ways to further reduce the costs of our plans, while also continuing to apply for all available grants. We will keep you updated!

We would love to see you at The Tie-Breaker in Rockaway—they are sponsoring a Spaghetti Feed with live music by NE Daynow on Tuesday, April 21, from 4:30 – 7:30 pm. Dinner is $18 for adults, $6 for children over 6. Beverages will be available for purchase.

Thank you for being a community that is committed to addressing food insecurity.

Introducing Tango & Cash, two of the fabulous kittens at United Paws of Tillamook. Tango & Cash were abandoned in a remote area of North County and rescued by a United Paws Volunteer when they were tiny babies. They are now being happily fostered in a loving home, and are ready to live their absolute best lives in forever homes.  

Tango is a mighty force of a kitten who loves to run, climb, chase, and tussle with his brother and his many friends. He zooms here and there!! His foster describes him as a cross between “Goofy and Wile E. Coyote.” Tango’s world continues to unfold as each day brings new discoveries. A box, a tunnel, a cat tree, fuzzy mice, a string, a spring, a wand toy, balls of paper or a bag brings endless curiosity and opportunities for playtime. He loves to run on an extra-large “hamster wheel” made especially for active kittens and cats. When he is not climbing up cat trees or playing with whatever object has grabbed his attention, Tango can be found fast asleep in a quiet place or in a tangle of other cats and kittens.

Cash is full of affection and playfulness. He loves to be where the action is – whether it is climbing a cat tree, chasing his brother or friends, playing with a dangling wand toy or string – Cash is a very happy kitten and is living his purrfect life. Cash is a good eater and always uses his litter box. An empty box or some tissue paper will keep him entertained for hours!! Cash is described by his foster as “super sweet” and will often find an available lap to snuggle in while he melts your heart. 

Cash would love to be adopted with his brother, Tango, or be in an active home with other kittens or playful adult cats, offering endless opportunities for exploration and play. They both love children and will probably do very well with a friendly dog. Having Tango or Cash (or both!) in your home will bring riches beyond measure: an abundance of joy, sweetness, and purrs to anyone lucky enough to adopt them.

To learn more, please visit unitedpaws.org or email unitedpawshelp@gmail.com to schedule a Meet & Greet.

Hello Friends,
North County Resistance hopes to see you tomorrow in Nehalem from noon to 2 PM at the parking lot at the bottom of the hill. As of the last report, the weather looks to be good, although cold. So, layer up! Wear double everything!
Remember we are still collecting food and money for the North County Food Bank. We also will be collecting food, clothing, dog and cat food for the Nehalem Bay Community Services. With the price of gas now days people who need to get to work are probably spending their money on gas rather than food. Some gas cards for people wouldn’t hurt either. Please do what you can.
Next week will be the big NO KINGS3 Event. On March 28 North County Resistance will be in Manzanita from noon to 2 PM. The location is at the east end of Laneda and Manzanita and Highway 101. We will be sending out more information about this at the first of this next week.
See you this Saturday.
Best,
Patty

A Spring Equinox Prayer

Divine Source of Light & Life,
As we stand at the threshold of the Spring Equinox,
We come before you with hearts open wide,
Ready to embrace the gifts of renewal & rebirth that this sacred time brings.

We give thanks for the balance of light & darkness,
For the awakening of the Earth,
& For the promise of new beginnings that fills the air.

On this day of perfect equilibrium,
May we find harmony within ourselves & with the world around us.
May we release that which no longer serves us,
& Welcome the fresh energies of growth, creativity, & transformation into our lives.

Blessed be the seeds we plant,
As we sow the intentions of our hearts & nurture the dreams that stir within us.
May they take root & flourish,
Blossoming into manifestations of love, abundance, & joy.

Grant us the wisdom to recognize the beauty in every moment,
The courage to follow our inner guidance,
& The gratitude to appreciate the miracles that surround us each day.

As the sun rises higher in the sky & the days grow longer,
May we feel your presence guiding us forward on our spiritual journey,
Illuminating the path with your Divine light & love.

May this Spring be a time of celebration, connection, & profound transformation for all beings,
As we dance in harmony with the rhythm of the Earth & the cycles of the Cosmos.

So might it be.

Much Love & Equinox Blessings to All,

For those who can be dispassionate while learning more about the Middle East conflict, here’s a well researched article:

But will Wokeland return ‘Cesar Chavez Blvd.’ to ’39th Avenue?’

What about renaming it ‘Virginia Giuffre Avenue’?

Or, my preference, ‘Senator Wyden Protects Epstein Avenue’?

And again, here is the link to an excellent anti-war film dealing with Iran.

This is an anti-war film that Ron Wyden DOES NOT want you to watch!

Please spread far and wide, the time is now. The Israeli judeo-fascists are on their heels, and all of their anti-American genocide-supporting operatives in Congress are about to have their arses handed to them during the mid-terms. Keep the pressure on the evil ones, share this film!!!!!!

Here’s the latest installment of the Oregon Journalism Project investigation into the problems that have the state’s K-12 rated near last in key areas of performance. Worth a read, here’s the lede:

“Today, only 40.3% of Oregon third graders are proficient in reading, as measured by state tests. Green says his group’s success contributed to what he concedes is a statewide disgrace.

“The governor could spark a turnaround, Green insists, if she did one thing: issue an executive order that every new Oregon elementary teacher must pass a standalone exam in the science of reading. Nearly 20 states require such a test for teachers, including Colorado, Louisiana, California, and Mississippi—and all of them have higher reading scores than Oregon.”

Dear Friends,

Growing and learning is what we’d all think we are about. I must tell you growing and learning this past week, for me, was not where I was. For most of the week I’d had a gut ache that was soothed somewhat by homemade ginger tea. But this past week was not very productive for me. Thank goodness to my sister and my brother who also live here. They helped.
At today’s protest in Nehalem, we had a fellow, who parked wonky in the parking lot-which told me he wasn’t there to stay. But anyway, this fellow started asking questions about why we were there and what we were doing. I immediately became annoyed, although he wasn’t talking to me. So, then I must ask why I was annoyed. Weren’t we doing enough by being out protesting rain or shine (and would he have gotten out of his car if it was raining cats and dogs)? He asked us where our petitions were and who we were writing to. Thoughts in my head said we are a dedicated group, probably 45 people showed up this Saturday. There are 3 people taking care of getting everyone together each week and having signs for everyone, not to mention the two people who supply coffee and pastry each week. Do we need more people to help and what would we ask them to do? I mean don’t we always need more chocolate cookies.
What I would ask someone to do at each protest is to go through the crowd with paper and pen and get new email addresses. We would use these addresses to let people know when we are having protests and if we need help with these protests. Perhaps this list would have a notation about if these people were willing to do more. We have a list but am sure there are people coming who are not on this list. This would take one person with a clipboard and a pen to each of our protests. If you can’t make it then perhaps you have a person who can. This would be a huge help. If you come from a background with public media, what can you provide to us to get the word out about our local protests. Who should we be contacting and their contact information. Your input would be so helpful. We know not everyone is going to publish what we put out, but a few more outlets would be more than what we have now. I know people who are supporting Veterans are coming to the protests-what do you want? Put this in the form of a petition and have someone for us or you to send it to. The list goes on and on of where we can make a difference and how we can help. But we need your help-we need you to volunteer your time. We would ask you to stand up and say- “If you need something, I can do it.”. And yes, we are all probably busy with family, the yard, and other interests in the community. But I think we can contribute to this Resistance even if we don’t show up for the Peaceful Protests and especially if we do.
If you are at a protest, or wanting to be at a protest, what can you do to help us. To be blunt, how can we use you to help North County Resistance to change the direction our country is taking? We need you all even if you can’t come to a protest. Contact me please.
At this next North County Resistance Protest I am going to ask each of you to bring me your thoughts of your personal moments. I can get them at the protest, or have you dictate them to me. It is always a great experience for me to know what you are thinking. Maybe someone besides me can help with this.
And remember we are also wanting to help our two local organizations, the North County Food Bank and the Nehalem Bay Community Services. Our North County Protest wants to support both these organizations as they are so important in our communities.
Please respond when you can. Let us know what we can do and what you want us to do.
Thanks,
Patty

Two countries with nuclear weapons attacked a country with no nuclear weapons – and the country with no nuclear weapons is winning!
I am not an advocate of nuclear weapons. I certainly do not want to see a nuclear war ever again.
Why are we at war? We are at war because Israel wanted the US to attack Iran and so the US did.????? And that was one of the biggest military mistakes this country has made which no doubt will go down in history. So many unknown repercussions! I have nothing against the people of Israel, unfortunately they have a very bad leader which they don’t like, but it seems they can do nothing about changing their leadership.
Even though no pictures of the damage in Iran are allowed out of the country – I did see a lot of damage from some web page that got photos out – lots of damage to Israel.

So where do we go now? Iran has made a list of negotiating points and I think our leadership should sit down at the negotiating table and negotiate. There is no other way except to either continue this war with boots on the ground or the very unspeakable use of the big bomb.

I don’t like what Iran does to its people but I am so impressed with their response to this illegal attack from our government.
If IRAN had a nuclear weapon, this war would have never taken place. A nuclear weapon is a deterrent to being attacked. The Iranians have never started a war with anyone – they basically have had border skirmishes and thats all.

The US tried regime change in IRAN in 1953, the effects which got the present severe religious Ayatollah regime in place. This is just like the Democrats being responsible for getting Donald Trump elected by not letting the Democrats elect the person they wanted in 2016! UNEXPECTED CONSEQUENCES!

The “SAVE America Act” is not getting much attention in the news, even though it’s of utmost importance to the president. My guess, it doesn’t have the attention grabbing urgency of war, nor is it easy to recognize as a threat to us. It very much is though, and The Guardian just published an article explaining why. Note: they do have a strong bias to the left, but I think this article explaining the bill and its potential impact is fair and accurate. The section “Could it actually pass?” near the end is informative and probably should be reassuring. Tell that to my stomach. – Dave

Love, have mercy.
For the rule of law, we lament.
Love, have mercy.

For faith in one another,

For justice that dismantles oppression,
hope that overcomes despair,
for faith that overpowers dread,
for love that defeats fear,
for joy that will not be taken from us, we pray.
Love, have mercy.
In the face of all that oppresses,
give us trust in grace unseen;
give us hearts to rise, to serve,
yes, even to sing
for life,
for life.

Deep Blessings,

Thank You Robbie!!!
Your assessment of the “Bystander president” is spot on ! Him and his den of thieves of our taxpayer money being handed out to his rich buddies is decimating our government and way of life… Him and his families self enrichment is beyond the average person’s comprehension- the lies, deceit, control of the media and so-called justice department and flip flopping of policy is exactly a mirror to what Adolf Hitler did in the 1930’s. I just finished a book which was a DEEP DEEP dive into Hitler’s life and ascent to power in Germany in the years before WW II – what’s happening now is exactly how a dictator guides his party to absolute power. Control the vote, military in the streets to scare anybody brave enough to speak the truth, using the fear of retaliation to silence his critics.
It’s all part of the “Project “ 2025 bs they’re peddling to enrich themselves and keep us
the not rich beaten down. That big ugly stupid bill that the cow tow republicans passed is going to bankrupt this country.
The lies just keep on coming…

In this 2-minute vid from Democracy Now!, General Wesley Clark, ONE WEEK after Israel and criminal elements in the US gov’t flew planes into and then blew up WTC-complex towers in lower Manhattan and blamed it on Islamo-fascists, states that a decision had been made by war-planners (again: Israel and criminal elements within the US govt) to overthrow seven Middle Eastern Countries in seven years:

(of course the decision was made well BEFORE 9/11 – as these things take time to plan. The 1,000 page so-called Patriot Act was also written/planned well before 9/11, obviously.)

General Clark:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eo6u9DpASp8

All of the Middle East ‘wars’ over the last several administrations – BOTH DEMOCRAT AND REPUBLICAN ADMINS – have been for the Judeo-fascists/Zionists who run Israel and America – including Wyden and Drumf who are currently attacking Iran.

What General Clark is referring to is “Greater Israel”, Israel’s murderous plan of expansion, and it’s almost done. ONLY IRAN IS LEFT.

Staunch supporter of Greater Israel and Palestinian genocide, Miriam Adelson, has given Drumf 250 MILLION dollars to do her (Israel’s) bidding. MAGA = Miriam Adelson Governs America. That should never happen in a democracy.

Israel has dragged willing and blackmailed treasonous American politicians into supporting their plan, which includes GENOCIDE in Palestine, and much killing and war, as that is what Israel does best.

I bet Israeli-citizen Ron Wyden, Oregon’s biggest fraud, fully supports the Greater Israel project. And as the ranking member of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, and as Israel’s most important war-supporter in the Senate (gotta keep the blinders on them liberals Ron!), Wyden must have known about Israel’s Greater Israel plans since before 9/11, when the plans went kinetic. If he didn’t, he shouldn’t have been given that committee assignment.

Bush, Clinton, Obama, Drumf 1, Biden and Drumf 2 are all in on the Greater Israel plan. Apparently, it’s in the Bible don’t ya know, so bomb’s away! Crazed Judeo zealots and Christo-fascists and now Mormons (Charlie Kirk’s killers) are feverishly working toward this murderous goal, Greater Israel:

www.islam21c.com/wp-content/uploads/The-alarming-details-of-Israels-future-ambitions.jpg

Our lying pols have a lot more in common than they do differences, evidenced by much, including this cutesy video of Dubya patting Obama on the belly at Jimmy Carter’s funeral:

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ejhdOA6JPQI

Israel is America’s number one existential enemy, and anyone supporting the genocidal state should be tried for treason, in my view. And here is a list of treasonous traitors:

www.trackaipac.com/

and here is an anti-war documentary that will explain how this attack on Iran has been planned for decades, by treasonous Israel-first traitors of both anti-American political parties, the Democrats and Republicans:

rumble.com/v650oqa-targeting-iran.html

And here is a terrorist that Israel-first Biden helped put into power, who was then invited to the White House by anti-MAGA Drumf:

rumble.com/v7704rc-syrian-al-qaeda-leader-supports-israel-against-hezbollah-w-scott-ritter.html?e9s=src_v1_s%2Csrc_v1_s_o&sci=f32d9406-2e2c-4300-9e83-fd41138ded40

Biden also had Zionist/Judeo-fascist Anthony Blinken as Sec of State and Cuban-born Jew Myorkis as head of HHS, helping Israel funnel millions of illegals across our southern border. Myorkis was filmed landing in a helicopter in the Darien Gap, where Israeli NGOs were working, doing Israel’s bidding – dividing and conquering America by flooding our country with illegals.

It’s not too late to get all genocidal Israel-firsters out of the American political sphere, and that includes Donald Drumf AND Ron Wyden.

If you believe in reincarnation, then Prince was Liberace in a former life. Flashy, dramatic, glamorous, attention-loving sum up Prince’s lavish personality. Prince defines royalty with his luxurious fluffy white hair, his tan and brown Siamese markings with just a hint of tabby, and his soft blue eyes.

As commanding as his namesake, Caesar is an absolute stunning example of a classic chocolate seal point Siamese. His thick brown fur, black face and ears provide a sharp contrast to his deep blue eyes. He is magnificent.

To be the recipient of their purrs will melt your heart – as will their rescue story. Prince and his brother Caesar were well-loved indoor cats for the first five years of their lives. Sadly, their owner went into assisted living and could no longer care for them. Unbeknownst to the owner, these beautiful cats were cast out into the wild and left to fend for themselves. For a year and a half they were starved, neglected, and attacked by neighboring predators. When United Paws became aware that a “lost and injured cat” was found in a rural area in Tillamook County, volunteers sprang to the rescue. Caesar was the first to be found. He was in terrible condition, scared, suffering from malnutrition and had an infected, gaping wound on his neck. Several days later, it was learned that Caesar’s brother, Prince, was hiding, terrified, and was also wounded. Their rescue, prompt medical intervention, food, and loving care saved their lives.

Although Prince and Caesar are now robust and healthy, they suffered terribly from their abandonment and are still traumatized by new situations. Their potential adopter must be patient and willing to give these beautiful boys time to adjust to their new environment, allowing them to feel safe and secure, knowing they are in their forever home.

Prince is by far the more outgoing of the two, however both can be shy at first until they feel safe. Once Prince knows you are a source of pets and loves, he will shamelessly throw himself at you for more!! He is extremely affectionate and loves to play. His favorite toys are foil balls to bat around, spring toys and wands with dangling things he can jump at.

Caesar is a little more cautious at first, but like Prince, once he knows you are his human, he will bask in the glory of scratches, pets, and loves. Caesar loves to butt heads in a forehead-to-forehead embrace, reminding us of Star Trek’s Mr. Spock and his “mind meld” technique. You will know he has claimed ownership when he does that!! Both Prince and Caesar love to chase strings, wires, and dangly toys. Both will drool with happiness when they are being brushed and groomed.

Both Prince and Caesar are good eaters and have developed quite the fondness for freeze dried raw food, which nurtured them back to good health. It is their favorite food now. They are faithful users of posts or scratching pads. They always use their litter boxes.

The perfect home for Prince and Caesar will be a home with people around, but not overly busy. Gentle children and perhaps a slow and steady introduction with a mellow dog will result in new and happy playmates. The most important thing is for their adopter to recognize that for Prince and Caesar, who were used to being loved and indoors, their experience in the wild left a traumatic mark on them that will take time and patience to diminish. Once they are settled, however, their sweet, extremely loving, and playful natures will blossom. You will not be sorry for giving these majestic, gentle souls their forever home.

To the Editor,

How proud we can all be of our president. Now we can add “War Criminal” to con man, felon, and rapist in his bio.

Trump has launched an illegal war of choice, circumventing congress, with no real defined purpose or proposed outcome. First it was eliminating the nuclear threat, even though he told us that it was already “completely and totally obliterated” in his last set of air strikes in June. Guess not?

Then he said we had to have regime change. But now he’s walking that back after killing the Ayatollah. Of course the regime has now replaced the Ayatollah with his son, an even more hard liner.

But hey! At least we took out that girl’s elementary school. Our Tomahawk missile made quick work of that threat to our national security.

Trump promised he’d stop wars, not start them. He promised he’d put America first.

Between trump, Rubio and Hegseth’s conflicting statements, we have no idea why this war was started or he hopes to achieve.

But it turns out Putin is the real winner in this debacle. Trump announced today he is lifting sanctions against Russia to “ease the oil crisis”. The crisis trump created. Now Putin will be swimming in cash to pay for his war against Ukraine.

The losers of course are us, the American people, who are left with skyrocketing gas prices, an already shaky economy on the rocks, our service men and women put in harm’s way, and overall a less secure world.

Yes indeed, we can all be proud of our president.

Teach you children well…

The Lost Elder

How we share our gift of time,
mother, father, daughter, and son,
a coherent celebration of what is
and how things are, a transmission
and bond of generations, is in danger.
As we witness endless war, rupturing
technology, and a violent injustice,
assured by the protected privilege
of wealthy elites, their architects
of historical revision are compelled
to offer us empty, scripted promises.
This pedagogy is nothing but artifice,
an instrument of privilege. Unless we
return to honor teaching, support
generous voices and life-giving stories,
from love scale joy’s full measure,
how will our children learn to be free,
able to honor their needed elders?

$140 Florsheim shoes, black. Presented by Trump to high officials, based on his guess as to size. Now worn with obeisance by: JD Vance. Marco Rubio. Pete Hegseth. Sean Duffy. Howard Lutnick. Sean Hannity. Lindsey Graham. Some of these dudes normally wear designer items costing ten times the Florsheims.

Turns out, with dictators, this is kind of a thing. Mao’s Mao jacket, Saddam Hussein’s moustache, Joe Stalin’s hat, jacket and jodhpurs.

Here’s an interesting essay by national security expert and founding member defiance.org, Miles Taylor. May seem funny, he tells you why it isn’t. If it’s paywalled let me know and I’ll send you a PDF.

As the Iran war enters its 10th day, opinions as to who is winning this war vary greatly depending upon which media sources you are reading.
The U.S. corporate media continues to report that this war is winding down, as Trump has made bold claims, stating that the war is “almost over” These are only some of the most prominent conditions for a possible ceasefire (from Iran)– assuming Tehran will ever trust the United States to comply:
Here we have Iran telling the self-described, hyperbolic most powerful military in the history of the world in other words – AMERICA – to essentially surrender with the following conditions:
Removal of all sanctions against Iran and release of all of Iran’s frozen assets.
2. Recognition of Iran’s right to enrich uranium on its own soil.
3. Full compensation for the damages caused by the imposed war.
4. Extradition of Iranian 5th columnists abroad, and the end of orchestrated media campaigns against Tehran.
5. No attacks on Hezbollah in Lebanon or Ansarallah in Yemen.
6. The dismantling of all US military bases in West Asia.
These are the latest undeniable facts on the battlefield.
Incidentally, that happened after President Trumps 1-hour phone call to President Putin, requested by the White House.
The reply from Russia:
“The Russian president expressed a number of ideas aimed at achieving a prompt political and diplomatic resolution of the Iranian conflict, including taking into account the contacts he has held with the leaders of the Gulf states, with the president of Iran, and with leaders of several other countries.”
That’s diplo-talk for Putin telling the Americans some hard facts of life, and volunteering to find that oh so elusive off-ramp.
Washington spin wants Trump to announce that the military has reached its goals and withdraw. But there will be no cease fire from Iran!
There will be no cease fire from IRAN?

Well, here we are. Our country will be won or lost on what the administration is calling the “SAVE America Act.” All the distractions have been put in place, and now comes the big push. Project 2025 expected to lose Congress in the first midterm election, so all their aims had to be met in the first 2 years. In that I think they’ve been largely successful. But it’s imperitive we prevent this ultimate goal:

It is quite beyond belief any Democrats don’t understand the gravity of this. That’s what I’ll be watching, and asking my representatives. This is the whole ballgame.
