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:
And finally, Trump is no better:

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!!!!!!
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!)

Increasing rates and incorporating an annual rate increase to account for inflationary costs was long overdue and I believe supported by the majority of Manzanita citizens. However, the reduction in the base water allotment from 4,000 to 2,000 gallons per month created an unnecessary financial hardship for families and customers of more modest means by ensuring an additional monthly surcharge each and every month the 2,000 gallon base allotment was exceeded.
The City will return to quarterly meter readings and billing until the outcome of the referendum vote by the Manzanita electorate on keeping our existing quarterly meter reading and billing process takes place later this year. In the meantime, the City plans to hire another consultant to conduct a new rate study based on a quarterly rate structure which citizens will be able review and comment on before it is adopted.
Those in our community who are having to deal with higher rent, groceries, gas etc. do not need to have the city again increase the base water charge. The best outcome of this new study is to maintain the existing base charge and also provide households with the necessary amount of water in the base allotment that is free of additional surcharges.
Citizens who wish to keep up with developments on this matter can send me their email address at rkinor@gmail.com and I will let you know how to both stay informed and participate as the City moves forward to resolve this issue.

As an introduction, my name is Tyler. I primarily work as an environmentalist / conservationist along the coast (primarily in Cannon Beach). You might have actually seen me delivering wildlife + geological lectures there. When I am not teaching in the tidepools or working in the forests to aid in managing invasive species, I am privately teaching music theory / composition, as well as flying commercial drones (via geological surveys or real-estate)!
This summer, I’d like to share an opportunity to capture your rental property from a new perspective: the sky! AirBnB, FurnishedFinder, and other rental platforms have been aggressively pushing its hosts to provide aerial photos for a more modern allure, insisting that it will drive up both rental and retention rates.
I have commercially licensed and can assure you that all local laws will be adhered to. According to DJI’s globally released (annual) statistics, I have remained in the top 1% of “most time spent in air” across the entire globe’s database of pilots.
My portfolio is: NomadWithACamera.com
If you have a small business or vineyard that you’d like to capture, also feel free to contact me!
You will receive both edited and raw images post-shoot. Optional landscape videos are also available at an additional price. Rates vary depending on distance traveled and needs of project.
Best,

A Message from State Senator Daniel Bonham:
New state water agency appointee to be considered by the state Senate.
Governor Kotek recently announced that Ivan Gall, a 25-year veteran water resources regulator was appointed to lead the Oregon Water Resources Department. This appointment will be considered by the State Senate at the end of the month.
Simply put, Gall is an inexperienced leader who will likely perpetuate the status quo of a paralyzed inefficient agency that routinely misses its own performance measures and fails to meet its core mission of managing our state’s water.
As a representative of a robust farming district and as someone who is very invested in our state’s natural resources – this is a very important appointment that I am tracking. The OWRD makes policy decisions that can affect the state’s natural resource resilience for decades to come.
Status quo has not been working for quite some time. During Mr. Gall’s time with the OWRD, we have observed a series of troubling issues that prove he is not qualified for this job promotion. Issues range from pulling permits from landowners, wasting $550 million in funds, staff caught with alcohol and weed in state vehicles, numerous wells running dry due to resource misallocation and more. From a personnel, policy and programming standpoint, he has proven himself incapable of creating collaborative solutions. Failure should not be met with a raise.
The Oregon Farm Bureau has continuously expressed concerns over this appointment and I share those concerns. Farmers and the agriculture industry are the original environmentalists. They care for the land like their lives depend on it – because their livelihoods do. The ag industry knows the circle of life and how to take care of our natural resources – they are the experts who work in the field – literally – day in and day out.
I also joined the bureau in their opposition by writing a letter to Governor Kotek to reconsider her appointment of this failed bureaucrat and will be calling on our colleagues to reject his appointment.
Our state’s water resource agency needs a leader who understands the complexities of water management, the ability to navigate policy challenges, the vision to change the culture from within the department, and the commitment to enhance the welfare of all Oregonians through our natural resources.
I hope you will join me in calling on our leaders to reject this appointment.
You can call your governor with this tel. number and leave a message. 1-503-378-4582 this number is listed on the Oregon Legislature web site.

As an introduction, my name is Tyler. I primarily work as an environmentalist / conservationist along the coast (primarily in Cannon Beach). You might have actually seen me delivering wildlife + geological lectures there. When I am not teaching in the tidepools or working in the forests to aid in managing invasive species, I am teaching music theory / composition and percussive performance! Now that I am a local resident, I want to extend my instruction to the wonderful community along the Coast!
Before I became an environmentalist, I obtained my undergrad(s) in percussive performance, theory, and education. I have been fortunate to teach all over the world, from the temples of Thailand, to public schools around the US (primarily in Texas where the need for drumline instructors are at an all-time high). Geographically, my studies include time spent at Princeton University, Moscow conservatory in Russia, Leipzig, Kraków, and Warsaw.
Lessons are typically offered online (via Teams), though I am conscious of the fact that there are many learning styles. While working with my students, I aim to hone in and identify what style works best for the student. With that in mind, in-person lessons are an option at an additional cost (to cover the time of commute + travel expenses). Regardless of the means of delivering the lesson(s), an individual lesson plan is always provided early on for my students to cater towards their personal established goals.
What would we be learning?
That depends on the goals of the student! I have a classical upbringing, so classical orchestration, music theory, and composition is one of the primary topics of lecture. Should we go this route, students will learn to navigate and utilize a music-notating software to both write and notate their own scores (compositions).
For more contemporary styles of music, I instruct on Ableton, Logic, and FL Studio. If you or your child have an interest in creating music that sounds like their favorite modern artist, this would be the path we would explore.
Lastly, if we have any aspiring drummers (classical or modern), percussion lessons are in order! We will cover the primary rudiments, choosing to learn via reading sheet music, or learning by rote (imitation without reading music). From Drum-kit, to marching snare-drum, to keyboard instruments such as Xylophones and Marimbas (2 or 4 mallet); the possibilities are endless in the percussive universe!
*Student must own their own instrument for percussive instruction.*
Prices are as followed:
Weekly 1-hour lesson (online): $40 / hour
Weekly half-hour lesson (online): $24/ HH
*Please note that I do not currently offer bi-weekly lessons. This is done with the student’s own sake of time and money. As a professional, I have found that this schedule ultimately stunts growth of the student.*
If in-person lessons are preferred, we can privately discuss additional costs (that would depend on distance). In-person lessons are available on weekends from Rockaway – Astoria.
I never want any student filled with potential to be neglected (at any level of education) due to monetary situations. I try to maintain fair rates (in comparison to the national average), factoring in my own several years of higher education and instructional experience. Regardless, there is always a place in my studio for curiously creative minds!
*Images posted were done so with respective school’s permission(s).*
If interested, please feel free to PM me! I will get back to you as soon as able 🙂
