SCIENCE
In response to those who have been following our excellent community discussion, ‘science is real’, I will preface my remarks buy relating to a recent, fairly long term dialog via email with a member of our community.

I was invited to join an in person discussion group to “bring the blues and the reds together”, that followed a proscribed protocol to participate. Everyone got equal time to speak and to be civil. Being more inclined to share in writing the individual agreed and what followed over a few months were numerous emails presenting our views on everything from gardening and music to history and pressing world events. The per tenant point in relating this exchange is that in my very first introduction expressing who I was, I pointed out that the over riding influence in our communications, besides of course any personal history, would be our sources for information that guide our judgement and beliefs.

Throughout our exchanges, we shared mutual love of musicians, authors, family, food, the good things, but regarding more serious issues, I leaned heavily into the arc of history that brought us to the present, hoping to show a coherent pattern to support my perspectives but from the very beginning to the last email, my versions of events were discounted out of hand 90% of the time, because the publication or medium was considered an unacceptable source. Examples would be podcasts, blogs, you tube interviews, alternative news sites. This pen pal was much more inclined to look forward, find common ground and move toward the common good. Fair enough, that’s what most of us want but we all know what’s said about not studying history and eventually there were too many disagreements about where we are, so choosing directions for positive forward movement became agreeing to disagree. It all came down to who and what we each believed to be true, faith in our sources. If my referrals were not published, in print, in the NYT, POST, WALL STREET JOURNAL, SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN, TIME and the like, they were suspect. I would point out that considering most of said outlets are owned by a few individuals very heavily invested in shaping narratives to protect their heavy investments, thinking they carry weight because they once wore the robes of truth and respect, made them suspect. The idea that history can and is often revised as it happens, depending on who gets to write or report it, can be difficult to understand let alone accept but it is true. This is the theme I would not set aside while trying to describe our common ground. It’s not unusual for two people to experience the same thing and tell very different stories, but directing policy without consensus can be disastrous on a large scale.

Pivotal events involving our nation, both internally and internationally have increased exponentially over the past 150 years, driven by industry and electricity, until now, well, how to describe; it’s horrendous? ( note the list of wars and coups above). One thing is certain, it takes way more time and energy than most folks have to keep up with and filter events for truth and that’s across the boards; science, policies, creative advances, nations working and not working together, understanding climate, keeping up with AI and surveillance, on and on, and the whole parade of personalities that present their part of the show.

Sources are important. None of us are so qualified that we don’t rely on others for their expertise. Below is a raft of sources which the curious student of science, politics, history etc, can explore and decide for themselves if they are credible, and believe me, I know someone else might comprise a list to refute each and every one of the offerings below. Go for it. Such is the nature of the tools and depth of information we have in our hands, but I think dispensing with the term “conspiracy” and just saying theory would encourage education. And, as mentioned before, the impact of the speed and momentum carrying the whole world forward presently should be part of any conversation: ubiquitous devices, overwhelming messaging.

Regarding ones love of country and how they express it I would remind folks that vehemently disagreeing with policies is a right and obligation, especially if you feel the leaders you did, or did not choose, go off the rails. Maybe we should slow down so we can hear the message the guy on the side of the road waving red flags is trying to say, even if we don’t like the distraction, because he’s trying to warn us the bridge around the curve has collapsed.

FORIEGN POLICY-

History is important and there is a lot of it that the citizens of this nation are either ignorant of or in denial of, and it is especially impactful since the beginning of the twentieth century. After WWII, the combination of complacency and accelerating event cycles leave us finding it hard to believe that our trusted leaders lie to us on a scale we now know to be true. In that vein, here’s two books that will help clarify:
The Devils Chess Board, by David Talbot, and expanding upon and updating is, One Nation Under Blackmail; Volume 1 and 2, by Whitney Webb. Our nations past is not the history we were taught in school.

I love the USofA as the idea it is intended to be.

I think those framers would now agree with me that we allowed or nation to become a bloody empire.

It’s not that our nation hasn’t done nobel things or hasn’t shared it’s advancments with other nations but if we peel back the Norman Rockwell, Father Knows Best veneers and ‘how we won the world war’ narrative, there’s alot to atone for, and there is a lag time for repercussions from brutal past aggressions. It takes generations for injustices done to other nations to boomerang back on the agressor. Think about imigrants from failed states.

Splish, Splash

At the recent Budget Adoption meeting and the June City Council Meeting, Councilor Tom Campbell addressed the referendum filed by Randy Kugler regarding water billing. Campbell also remarked on a conversation the two had about the water fund and indirect allocations. Once Campbell did his own research, he learned that the facts were a little different from how Randy presented them.

Someone who signed the petition for the referendum had a similar experience with the canvasser who came to their home. The canvasser said the petition was to restore quarterly billing and the old base rate. Again, not quite true.

Let’s start with the question this referendum will place on the ballot.

“Shall the City of Manzanita read water meters and bill for water service on a monthly basis rather than a quarterly?”

A yes vote would mean we pay monthly while a no vote would mean we’d revert to quarterly. It doesn’t increase the base rate allowance from 2,000 to 4,000 gallons and it doesn’t mean we will or can revert to the old water rates.

Why was the tiered system adopted in the first place and why did the rates go up?

To understand more I read the most recent executive summary of the October 2023 Water Rate Study prepared for Manzanita by the Oregon Association of Water Utilities (OAWU). I’ve included a link to the study so you can read it yourself.

There are a lot of numbers, but the Executive Summary is surprisingly easy to read. It was written by water and utility professionals who know the subject and don’t have a horse in this race. They looked into the math.

In 2023 when they did the most recent study the consumption charge per 1,000 gallon unit of water was $2.50 for residential customers in the city and $3.25 outside the city with 4 units allowed in the base rate (4,000 gallons). The study averaged both full-time and part-time residences because whether they’re in town or not, part-time homeowners still pay the base rate.

The last increase in water rates was $5 a month to Single Family Residences (SFR) in October of 2014. We all know the price of everything has gone up over the last nine years, but our water charges haven’t.

Okay, here comes the math! We annually produce and sell about 81,011,365 million gallons of water and the cost of producing that water is $1,687,953.76.

One unit of water is 1,000 gallons and costs $20.84. So, the actual cost of 4,000 gallons of water per month would be $83.36.

At the end of the day (and the budget cycle) we’re short $575,504.38. (OAWU Executive Summary p. ii and iv).

The report looked at simply splitting the costs equally between all types of users—households inside and outside town, regardless of how much of the 4,000 gallons they use, and the commercial businesses. Under that method it would be $76.36 monthly for everyone, but it wouldn’t be fair. Kind of like when you decide to split a check equally at a restaurant and you got a salad and water but everybody else had drinks, wine, apps, mains, and desserts—oof!

One of the goals of the study was to make any changes as fair and equitable as possible. People would pay their fair share based on water usage. Those who use less water would pay less and people or businesses that use more would pay more. One of the advantages of the tiered system is that most households use less than 2,000 gallons monthly except in summer so most would only see a $7 increase in their bill for much of the year.

In the summer, many of us use more water. We have gardens and bird baths and wading pools and sprinklers.

During the summer months, let’s add to that. Vacation rentals are mostly occupied, as are second homes and the campground. All those people use water too. Vacation rentals and motels do laundry. A lot of laundry. Depending on occupancy and turnover some do loads and loads of laundry every day. Some have hot tubs. Plus, visitors take showers, do the dishes, and flush the toilet. At least we hope they do.

“The discrepancies are only exacerbated as higher volumes of water are consumed. When the unit production cost (currently $20.84) is more than the unit sold price, an adjustment in the rates is necessary.” (OAWU Executive Summary p.iv)

Why shouldn’t people using more water pay for it, including those of us who live here full-time?

In Oregon, at least Western Oregon, we’re used to thinking of water as a free or close to free thing. That doesn’t reflect reality because getting the water we have from its source to our homes isn’t free. Safe, clean water is not the limitless resource we used to think it was. Just ask the folks who live in California, Colorado, Nevada and Flint, Michigan.

Paying for what we use isn’t a punishment, it’s just a fact of life. We’re used to not having to think about water, but our neighbors in Nehalem and Neahkahnie struggle with water use every summer. Conserving what we have and mindfully using less is the way we make sure there’s water in the future and that we have a reasonable water bill.

According to a records request I submitted, legal fees for the referendum as of June 7 are $4200. There will be more legal fees in the next billing cycle. I assume it will be a similar amount. In addition, we have a second water study underway which will cost another $8500.

I have to wonder how many people signing the referendum actually read the water study for themselves or watched the water presentation or the council work session when the information was presented and discussed? Use your own noggins and school yourselves, kids.

Some response to OkieDokie

OkieDokie wrote:

“I do get tired of our local conspiracist (Andy) and his addiction to silly pseudo science and seeing his distorted views in print.”

Okie, Democrats have figured out a solution for dealing with folks whose views they disagree with. Cancel them! Remove their ‘free’ speech! Throw them in jail! That’s what fascistic communism is okiedokie, and that’s what the Democrat Party has become, arrogant fascistic anti-science communists-for-the-billionaires, taking that torch from the Bush Crime Family and running further and wider with it.

“Re his latest rant against wearing masks, he has little sensitivity toward others who use them for a variety of reasons other than “fear” instilled by “big pharma”. Gene Dierkin politely explained the many other reasons and was slammed in return. Immunocompromised with cancer, I appreciate Gene’s support.”

Gene didn’t explain one reason for wearing a mask, at all. The science part, not the ‘because I say I wear it for this so it works’ part. Can you explain to me how wearing a mask helps anyone with cancer or other immunocompromised health issues? Just explain it, in simple terms. You say a KN95 mask has a benefit for folks with cancer. What is that benefit? It’s an easy question.

“As for the King of Conspiracy”

Thank you for the tittle! LOVE IT!!!

“…what a silly and trivial thing to obsess over.”

Nope, not trivial. Anti-science neurotic freaks contributed to one of the most disgusting things our society has ever DONE TO OUR CHILDREN. The teacher’s unions’ masked our children at school ALL DAY LONG FOR MONTHS AND MONTHS TO APPEASE YOU NEUROTIC ANTI-SCIENCE FREAKS. Those children suffered because you mask/vax freaks don’t understand science. And I have a daughter, so you will not see the end of my rage toward Covidiots about that one, ever. THE CHILDREN WON’T FORGET WHAT YOU DID TO THEM AND NEITHER SHOULD YOU.

“It’s sad to see someone so caught up in hate and vitriol, who is so quick to direct it toward others in our community.”

Yeah, I get pretty fuck*ing angry at injustice and stupidity, always have. Only the unashamed fascistic communists get vitriol though, love the rest of ya!

“Btw, didn’t he vow to stop posting his rants on bbq just a few months ago??”

Yup! And then I post three more! 🙂

Also, who are you okie dokie? Are you brave enough to share your name with the rest of us on the north coast? Or do you prefer cowardice, the shadows, etc.

In this years primary election, you may have noticed all the judges on the ballot running unopposed. You might ask yourself – Why always unopposed? Surely there must be other qualified people that desire a position as a judge.

I wrote a piece about this awhile ago explaining how the governor can legally pick a qualified person to fill a vacancy that happens when a judge steps down before their term is up, so the person the governor picks is on the ballot for the next term unopposed, and wether you vote for them or not they will be elected to that position for a number of years, when due to a prior agreement with the governor they will step down before their term is up so the governor can now legally pick another person to fill that position. What the governor is doing is legal but goes against the spirit of the Oregon Constitution which states that Oregon citizens get the opportunity to fill judicial positions by voting.
The agreement between the governor and the person she selects: that they step down before their term is up so that the governor can select another person, is called collusion. Collusion is when two or more parties secretly agree to defraud a third-party (Oregon citizens) of their rights or to accomplish an illegal purpose. Some types of collusion are against the law. And this one, as it denies a right given to us by a constitution, I believe violates the law.
This affects you in more ways than you know. It locks in one party forever. A party that pushes the globalist agenda.
Gerrymandering?
FROM COMMON CAUSE:
*Is gerrymandering a problem in Oregon?
Only twice in the last hundred years has the Oregon legislature successfully completed redistricting without intervention by the secretary of state or the courts. For decades, the legislature failed to redistrict at all, so that the party in power could maintain its advantage, resulting in growing distortions in the ratio of voters-to-representatives from one legislative district to the next as population sizes shifted throughout the state.
Oregon law requires that district lines are not to be drawn for partisan advantage, so partisan data is not analyzed publicly. But in reality, legislators share this data behind closed doors, and are well aware of how various options will affect party advantage. Oregon needs to end the “wink and a nod” sharing of partisan data behind closed doors and make this information available for public scrutiny.

I believe that if we had a non-political or “balanced Supreme Court”** – A person or group could challenge this “redistricting” and probably win as what Oregon has been doing has been heavily criticized by others.
Democrat party control has basically cemented itself in perpetuity in Oregon, they control all of the courts. What happens after that is corruption with a capital C. I would like to say that I have been a Democrat for most of my life, ending just recently in the last several years, as I have noticed that the things I stood for as a Democrat do not exist in either the state or national Democratic Party.
Our country, the United States of America, has had the best constitution of all the countries on this beautiful planet. Guaranteeing
the most freedoms to all its citizens – but no more. We are in “a quiet war with silent weapons” We now ban free speech, we arrest peaceful demonstrators, not violent ones. Parental rights are going out the window, (see HB 2002.Your minor child’s reproductive organs are controlled by the state of Oregon. That bill gives the state the right to determine what sex your child is).
Our agencies and court systems are weaponized against us. We have corrupt voting systems, and the constitutional right to have a gun is constantly being attacked. Crime and property destruction are a constant in many towns and cities in Oregon, and the perpetrators if arrested are put right back on the streets where they repeat their behavior. The media cleverly turns us against each other, even families, and divided we fall!!! And we are falling. Let’s try uniting!! Let’s try watching our state legislature in action!! There ARE a few, very good legislators in both parties who really care about their constituents. You need to know who they are.
**I did have a suggestion to remedy the “judges running unopposed” and I asked a Senator and a journalist what they thought of my suggestion. I was told that any one running against the governors “pick” if they lost – would not be able to do business in Oregon. A high price to pay for running for a judicial position!!

United Paws rescued a young Mama & her 6 kittens after their family moved away in early May and left them behind. Two caring women brought them to UP headquarters where Volunteer Fosters have been caring for them until they are placed in forever homes. We named the Mama cat “Nyx” (pronounced “nix”) because she has a sleek, satiny, black coat with a white locket and she moves with a natural grace & elegance. In ancient Greek mythology, Nyx was the goddess of the night & dreams, and often presented herself as a black cat. The name seems to fit our gorgeous Nyx!

Nyx is not quite a year old, friendly, and a fast learner. When you pick her up, she purrs and loves to have her neck and head rubbed. She is well socialized and comfortable in her foster home. Nyx is active and wants to play often, chasing the elusive red dot or going after small foam balls thrown across the room. With her mellow & playful personality, we think she would get along with a friendly cat or dog, and probably children who have gentle hands.

Nyx eats both wet food and some crunchies, and uses the cat box with no problem. She has been spayed, vaccinated, and is healthy with no special needs, except to have a loving family of her own who will appreciate her beauty & companionship. If you are interested in adopting Nyx, contact United Paws. You can fill out the Adoption Application below or email us at unitedpawshelp@gmail.com. You must be 21 years or older to adopt through United Paws.

Hi Gene,

Some response,

You wrote:

“I haven’t quite been able to figure out why anti-vaxers and anti-maskers are often very pro-Russian”

I would translate your statement thusly: “I haven’t been able to figure out why folks who don’t want government mandates for an experimental MRNA-technology forced on the public, and who don’t want to put that technology into their own bodies at all, ever, and who don’t validate the use of KN95 surgical splash-guard masks as any sort of impediment to airborne viruses, are often very against NATO and The United Sates of America violating the terms of peace from WW2 and trying to start a nuclear war and/or World War Three with Russia.”

And for me, the answer is clear: Peace, Love, Freedom.

You also wrote that such folks are also “very hateful of our own country with all its flaws…”

Mmmmmmm….the patriot anti-vax anti-mask anti-war crowd is hateful of America???

I’m confused on that part of the sentence.

You wrote more:

“…and also despise people with different views of society, politics, and health.” That’s a mouthful dude. I despise lots of folks for lots of reasons, as you do, as we all do.

And you wrote:

“As for masks, Andy, you have no idea why anyone chooses to wear a mask but insist on your right to pre-judge and condemn them.”

Gene, when you see someone wearing a MAGA hat, what do you think about them? We all have the right to pre-judge whomever we want. And as I wrote, I feel bad for most of the folks still wearing masks. I stated that I think they have been victimized by Big Pharma and their associates. I am stating that they are victims. The ones condemning them are the vax-makers that made billions off the fear they generated, the fear they put into those people’s hearts.

You also wrote:

“What or who makes you So, So Special?”

I don’t know, right!!! I’ve been wondering about that for years!!! But I sure as sh*t am special, eh Gene??

“I’ve known some patriarchal dudes in my life, but… wow!”

Not sure where that came from, but I’m more of a feminist than most feminists are these days.

And in my post I clearly FOUGHT THE PATRIARCHY by putting the war-pigs-slaughtering-girls-in-Ukraine by…well wait a sec, lets find that Wall St Journal piece I posted on this site months ago, where the ‘war with Russia’ patriarchal war-pigs made an ad telling Ukrainian girls they were brave feminists for dying for Zelensky and Lynsie Graham. They were brave for getting killed by American bombs via Russian tanks and artillery.

Eh, this CNBC propaganda is good enuf. Here is some actual, sickening, patriarchy…masquerading as feminism. Keep bombing Ukraine Democrats, the Ukrainian feminists are fighting sexism! (Not so much when they’re dead)

www.cnbc.com/2024/03/08/ukraines-female-soldiers-are-battling-against-russians-and-sexism.html

I also pointed out that trans boys competing against girls in high school and college was bad for girls, and in doing so I was fighting the patriarchy (trans men). Where did all the butch dykes go anyway? I got along with them pretty damn good!

Doh! :0

One more thing to get off my chest while I’m at it: The dangers of the so-called ‘liberal’ anti-science ‘science is real’ crowd.

The ones who are STILL wearing masks (the leftist/communist equivalent to MAGA hats) to combat aerosolized ’covid’ are definitely in this anti-science crowd. And do you see the danger? Those masks are not protecting you folks, so if you don’t want to inhale ‘covid’ you need to just stay home or away from people. And it’s really sad when I see crazy people like this alone in their cars, alone on the beach, along gardening like the lady along Hwy 101 yesterday wearing masks, very much alone and outside. It’s f*cking sad and anti-science and they have been victimized by the pro-covid pro-shutdown creeps of the billionaire class and millions and millions who gave in to the fear and embraced this medical tyranny from on-high.

But my issue with the anti-science crowd isn’t just with ‘the vaccine’ that isn’t really a vaccine, like those of us who understand science knew all along.

From the ‘liberals’ beloved 9th Circuit Court of Appeals:

rumble.com/v50u86n-court-rules-covid-vaccines-are-not-vaccines-kim-listed-on-new-ukraine-enemi.html

We also knew early on that the vaccines were killing people and causing infertility and raising humanity’s all-cause mortality rate:

x.com/PBDsPodcast/status/1800902625145340217

(Maybe watch our pandemic ‘$avior’ Bill Gate$’ extreme and hysterical Ted Talk about humanity’s dire need to depopulate next???)

And yes, while millions and millions of ‘covid’ cases were really the flu (where did the flu go in 2020?) and folks who died from myriad causes were tested post-mortem for ‘covid’ and if it was found via PCR (PCR finds EVERYTHING and MEANS NOTHING as we all have tons of pathogens in us constantly – science) the hospitals got $50,000 from the CDC (our tax dollars) for each ‘covid’ death. Huh? Wuh? Why? And now The WHO wants to do this scam all over again with…drum roll please…BIRD FLU!

But it looks like SCIENCE from MEXICO took down the DOD/CIA/BIG PHARMA/BIG TECH/BIg BANKS opening bird flu salvo:

“The Mexican government has denied that one of its citizens died of H5N2 bird flu, contradicting claims from the WHO. The WHO claimed that the death of the Mexican man was the world’s first fatal case of bird flu in humans.
The head of the country’s Ministry of Health, Jore Alcocer, said in a press conference on Wednesday that the WHO’s announcement was “quite bad” and that the actual cause of death of the 59-year-old man, who died on April 24, had not been determined.

Alcocer stated that the man suffered from chronic kidney disease, type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure, all of which could have influenced or caused his death. He had been bedridden for weeks before dying.
The Health Secretary also reassured the Mexican people not to panic or to avoid consuming chicken in any form.”

Science is real, and if you don’t understand science, but still have one of those self-righteous signs in your yard, you might want to start learning how to read science. (Also on your sign it says ‘women are to be respected’, and I hope everyone who has one of those signs stands opposed to trans men competing in women’t sports. And if ya’ll want to keep getting folks angry at your ‘community’ keep doing things like insisting boys can compete on girls sports teams in high school or college.)

Here he is himself: x.com/MLopezSanMartin/status/1798764572419244465

NICE TRY LOSERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, and despite what the MSM is telling you, those Russian war ships that just arrived in Cuba two days ago because of idiot Democrats destroying Ukraine and NATO/Democrats continuously screwing with Russia’s sovereignty in general, are carrying NUCLEAR WEAPONS also. And I thought Trump was the one who was gonna get us nuked? Again, I THOUGHT TRUMP WAS THE ONE WHO WAS GONNA GET US NUKED?? I remember that hysteria well. I would love some apologies from the pro-Biden crowd about this one! Four more years in office and the Obama/Clinton Dem absolute anti-human no-border war-scum running this admin for the senile, pants-sh*tting girl-sniffing creep will DEFINITELY GET US NUKED:

rumble.com/v5100t3-russian-war-ships-arrive-in-cuba-thanks-to-the-illigitimate-clowns-in-the-w.html

But the real reason I want to address the anti-science ‘science is real’ crowd today is that I just got wind of this absolute anti-science horsesh*t from the ’science is real’ crowd of Multnomah County:

www.koin.com/local/multnomah-county/multnomah-county-suit-against-major-oil-companies-over-2021-heat-dome-heads-back-to-state-court/

And here is SCIENCE, as opposed to idiot hysteria from Wokeland’s city council and the Covenor Kotek’sOffice. (Covenor, I just made that up, pretty good eh?) In fact, the defendants should just play this outstanding documentary in court:

rumble.com/v4kn3n6-climate-the-movie.html

And if you want to understand why the Air Force clouds our skies here at the coast every so often:

rumble.com/v4b7tco-frankenskies-geoengineering-chemtrails-weather-modification-haarp-cloud-see.html

Yup, science is real.

I was very proud to serve as a board member of Tillamook County Transit District (TCTD), until I wasn’t. I was convinced the District had at its heart a deep concern for the people of Tillamook County. Sadly, I think I was wrong.
Now I think the District and Board’s main concern is maintaining a favorable public image, whether it is deserved or not.
In April of 2023, the Sunset Empire Transit District (SETD)(Clatsop county) ran out of money and had to cease operations for more than a month. It has now returned to operations but at a reduced level of services.
In April of 2023, Tillamook County Transportation District (TCTD) operated 7 days a week with 245 scheduled routes and 16,176 monthly Dial-a-Ride patrons. By May 12, 2024, it deteriorated to a 6 days a week for in-county service, with 147 scheduled routes and 7,366 monthly Dial-a-Ride Patrons.
I believe the problem for both districts is a fundamental structural problem of District governance. The board consists of 7 well-intentioned citizens who are elected by the public. The board leaves day-to-day operations to the management. The board hires the General Manager and approves budgets. The General Manager runs the operation and I suppose if things get bad enough the board can fire the General Manager. Otherwise, there is a definite hands-off attitude by the boards.
I believe the basic problem is that the board bases its actions on what Management chooses to tell them. For both SETD and TCTD, this has led to nasty surprises for the board. What is worse, the public loses out on services they are dependent on.
People in Clatsop County lost the services they depended on for a few weeks. People in Tillamook County have lost their Sunday in-county services and each of their numbered routes has been cut back.
In Clatsop County, management withheld the true state of finances until they ran out of money. In Tillamook County, management has never told the board how many drivers and dispatchers are still on the payroll.
The public is the one who gets the shock of the bus that isn’t there anymore.
I believe Clatsop County has corrected its financial reporting. I believe it’s time Tillamook started being honest every month about how many employees it has.

This is Andy, sorry to post again, I’m just getting really sick of Democrats murdering Ukrainians and rejoicing in how good and moral they are for doing so, while telling the rest of us it’s immoral for Israel to murder Palestinians.

Bomb Ukraine NOT Palestine!

Huh? Wuh? Why? (Unprincipled comes to mind. So does arrogant and hateful. So does stoopid. So does fear.)

I’m thoroughly confused and I would love it if ANY DEMOCRAT IN THESE TWO ZIP CODES CAN DEFEND THIS ON THIS SITE.

CAN ANY OF YOU SUPPOSED ANTI-WAR DEMS, JUST ONE OF YOU, OUT OF THE THOUSANDS ON THE NORTH COAST, HOW YOU SUPPORT MURDERING 500,000 UKRAINIANS AND DESTROYING THEIR ENTIRE COUNTRY WHILE TELLING ISRAEL IT IS IMMORAL FOR THEM TO KILL PALESTINIANS AND DESTROY THEIR COUNTRY?

AGAIN, why is it okay for YOU to support murdering Ukrainians (500-million dead so far! Nice work!) but Israelis cannot support murdering Palestinians?

Just one of you defend this, please. And for ANYONE who sends me hate mail, I will post your hate mail right on this site for everyone to see just how smart and kind you really are.

Maybe Senator Merkley will get wind of this post and he will explain to us on this site how this pro-murder Democrat stance makes sense? He is a Senator after all, therefore he is trustworthy and smarter then the rest of us and we should listen to him, right? (He blatantly lied to my daughter’s face at a meet-and-greet when she was about ten-years old. He’s full of sh@t as far as I’m concerned, I saw his bullsh@t in action.)

Here is my post:

War-Pig Dems pretend to be anti-war:

Headline only:

thehill.com/homenews/house/4710850-netanyahu-speech-boycott-democrats/

And, checking in with fake-Christian, know as the ‘First Lady Of Congress’, because this “Southern Baptist” screws his male interns when he isn’t calling for mass-murder, we see why the sick folks running our country really want to ‘help out’ Lyndsey Graham’s fellow gay-mass-murderer, dictator Vladimir Zelensky:

“Ukraine is sitting on 10-12 TRILLION dollars of critical minerals”. OHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

It all makes sense now…

Lynsie himself is happy to tell you:

x.com/LindseyGrahamSC/status/1799832487285465244

Now it all makes sense, right? NATO and the American war machine want to make billions while destroying Russia and Ukraine because they think they can, and then they think they can MAKE TRILLIONS MORE off Ukraine’s critical minerals afterwards! Well, they got the destroy Ukraine part done, that’s for sure.

MONNEY MONEY MONEY GREED GREED GREED

Isn’t that right, SENATOR JEFF MERKLEY?

From CNN: “Five years ago, the man whose talents as an actor, comedian and producer had made him a household name in Ukraine was propelled into office.”

As Senator Merkley knows very well but won’t tell you, Zelensky was NOT organically ‘propelled into office’, he was INSTALLED by a military coup run by The United States of Amerikkka, quarterbacked by Victoria Nuland of the war-pig Democrat Obama Administration, in 2014.

(Before overthrowing the democratically-elected government of Ukraine for Obama and the military-industrial-complex and big-tech and Blackrock and American billionaires in general, Victoria worked for the Bush Crime Family, coordinating the mass-murder of Middle Eastern folks in Iraq, etc., while doing some ‘conflict-resolution overseas’ work, as the intel/CIA folks like to call it. She’s a mass-murdering scumbag of the worst kind.

For those who intentionally keep themselves sheltered from reality by going on lots of beach walks or whatever, there is nothing truer in the world than what I just wrote above. It is as true as the fact that the sun rose a few hours ago.

Looks like the blood-on-his-hands Democrat war-scum Sen. Jeff Merkely (500-million Ukrainians murder by NATO’s arrogance, greed and stupidity) didn’t find out that Zelensky CANCELLED the ELECTIONS in Ukraine that Jeff was pretending to be concerned about. (Link below)

HEY JEFF, THE ELECTIONS iN UKRAINE NEVER HAPPENED!!!!! GAY DICTATOR ZELENSKY CANCELLED THEM!!!!!

HEY DPO, SENATOR MERKELY’S GOT TO GO! IMPEACH HIM NOW!

UKRAINE IS NOT A DEMOCRACY! YOU CLUELESS AMERICAN MORONS!

Won’t somebody please change the junior senator’s website?? This is embarrassing for Oregon.

In the meantime, there are still old men and girls (sorry, BRAVE FEMINISTS!) that NATO can make billions of dollars by slaughtering them in Ukraine, so war war war! Yup, Democrats will make sure we’ll be there to the very last drop…of Ukrainian blood.

Yeah, Jeff, we know what you know, you anti-American murderous dirt-bag:

BONUS!

If the globalist swine you REALLY work for can destroy America from within…why not go that way, right Jeff? What’s really going on at our border that Democrats REFUSE TO HONOR?

JEFF MERKELY CALLED THE BORDER SITUATION “A crisis” THREE YEARS AGO!!!!!!

www.newsweek.com/senator-jeff-merkley-says-border-situation-approaching-crisis-after-wh-declines-use-label-1575480

These statements are two years old Jeff, what has happened at our border since then? Millions have crossed, that’s what. Terrorists. Gang members. Rapists. Prisoners. Russians. Chinese (lots of military-age Chinese males crossing), and lots of folks infected with COVID!!!! AAHHHHHHHHHHH! OH NO NOT THE COVID!!!!! Actually I have no idea if any ‘migrants’ have crossed with CIA/DOD/GATES/FAUCI lab-engineered SARS-Cov-2 infections because NOBODY IS TESTED CROSSING THE BORDER AND THEY NEVER WERE DURING THE ENTIRE PLANDEMIC. Huh? How un-Democtratic party is that? No mask requirement either…the horror!!!

Sure Jeff, I’ll tell you about what’s happened at the border over the past three years, when you were pretending to care, and I will share it with your idiot constituents who KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THE BORDER SITUATION either:

(If you live on the north coast, you might want to watch this before you go on today’s beach walk. It’s pretty damn important. And it could impact your ability to go on beach walks in the future. (note to self: yeah, that’s how I can get to the Wokezanita folks, f@ck with their beach walks!)

A long Manzanita City Council meeting last night–lots got done.
It was announced that we will have a referendum to vote on in November–citizen Kugler filed the necessary paperwork so we will vote on if we want monthly billing of our water bills… It’s unclear why? The City moved to monthly billing last year.
The silver lining is that the mandated Water Study this forces Manzanita to pay for will not be the $20,000. originally estimated. Since Manzanita conducted a Water Study only last year, our intrepid City Manager, Leila Aman was able to get a discount–so it’ll cost “just” $8,500. Lots of lawyer fees too (hourly rate in the high $400’s). It’s also not clear how much it would cost the City to re-implement quarterly billing.
It’s timely to remind us all that if we have questions and or concerns about the city, asking our City Councilors questions directly can save us all a lot of time and money.
The email to contact all 4 Councilors and the Mayor is citycouncil@ci.manzanita.or.us
It’s unfortunate in these inflationary times that Manzanita is being forced into such senseless, profligate spending.
