AUTHOR EVENT Saturday Aug 2
Cloud & Leaf’s “Books After Hours” is offering chocolate, wine, and funky music in our wonderful little bookstore at the beach… and the opportunity to hear Miriam Gershow read from her newest book!
Miriam is the author of Survival Tips: Stories (Propeller Books), an Independent Publisher Book Awards and Pencraft Awards winner. Her debut novel, The Local News (Spiegel & Grau), was hailed as “unusually credible and precise” and “deftly heartbreaking” by The New York Times.
Her novel Closer, from Regal House, has just released to much acclaim and is, sadly, timely. “Set in 2015 during Obama’s presidency and Trump’s early candidacy, the tranquil college town of Horace, Oregon, is disrupted when white students taunt a Black student in the high school library. This incident sparks immediate repercussions that ripple through the community, affecting students, families, and faculty alike. “

Alligator Alcatraz: reply
That said, my questions to any Drumf supporters who have yet to figure out that he is a criminal Israel-first NYC ‘liberal’ anti-American fascist is this:
1. Are YOU ready to be confined at ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ when the next fascist Dem is installed in the white house by Israel and the bankers and the American oligarch’s who run the divide and conquer operation called America?
2. Do you think the deep state tyrants that run the Drumf’s and Biden’s are EVER going to dismantle the gulag they are currently building?
3. Are you aware of the fascism the world experienced during ‘covid’ by the tech/farma/banker/war fascists, masquerading as Democrats AND Republicans?
4. Are you familiar with the Trucker Protests in Canada? In three years Dems will be in power. Do you really want Kamala or Gavin Newsom or Hillary to have this gulag as an option?
Drumf gave 45-billion dollars TO THE PRISON INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX! That’s about as much as Clinton gave his jailer buddies when he and his racist wife started throwing thousands of American blacks into prisons. The gulag-runners could care less about schools and bridges and peace: the criminal humans who have usurped America are evil.
CONSERVATIVES AND CHRISTIANS WILL BE THROWN INTO THESE GULAG’S IN JUST A FEW YEARS! MARK MY WORDS!
Biden corrupts the border, fully, as planned. Drumf brings in the fascist state to ’solve’ Biden’s ‘problem’. It’s all done on purpose folks, and Israel was very, very active in Mexico funneling folks over the border. Biden’s homeland Security goon Myorkas, is a Cuban-born Israel-first Jewish guy, and he went to Panama and personally oversaw this massive human smuggling operation which was/is designed to enslave or imprison all of us in the years to come. Well, the free-thinkers anyway. The sell-outs will always have the ‘freedom’ of servitude.
This below is from Infowars, which, sadly, has been totally corrupted. I had been a huge fan of Alex Jones. The following is being reported on Infowars as a good thing:
“With the passage of President Trump’s flagship “Big Beautiful Bill,” massive expansion of detention capacity and deportation operations is planned. The Trump administration has now awarded $1.26 billion to build the nation’s largest detention and deportation center, in Texas. The center will be constructed at Fort Bliss, a million-acre site close to El Paso, on the Mexican border, with its own airport. There will be room for 5,000 beds in heated and air-conditioned tents.
An ICE official told Bloomberg that the federal government “is indeed pursuing all available options to expand bedspace capacity. This process does include housing detainees at certain military bases.” A week ago, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth confirmed the Department of Homeland Security will construct new detention facilities on other military bases, in Indiana and New Jersey.
According to a recent report from The Wall Street Journal, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is rushing to expand its detention capacity, after receiving $45 billion in extra funding after the passing of President Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill. The goal is to expand capacity from 40,000 to 100,000 before the end of the year. This will be done, in part, by building a large network of tent camps nationwide.”
FOLKS LIVING HERE ILLEGALLY CAN BE DEPORTED WITHOUT BUILDING A $45 BILLION DOLLAR GULAG
Yet it is being built, sold to us ‘American freedom’.
And right on cue:
An authoritarian’s dream, dystopian license plate readers are ALL OVER OREGON.
And the globalist’s favorite Dem Senator, ranking CIA-committee member Ron ‘lyin’ Wyden is happy about it!
NO MATTER YOUR POLITICS YOUR FREEDOMS ARE BEING TAKEN FROM YOU VERY, VERY RAPIDLY
Below, Wyden pretend to care about your freedom: he does not, at all!
Also, ADMINS CHANGE – reread as necessary. If you think throwing Drumf supporters or J6ers in jail is a good thing, just wait until YOUR on the list.
“First they came for the whomever and I did nothing…blah blah blah, then the Nazis came for me…etc etc.”
THAT IS WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW
AND THE DEMS ARE JUST AS BAD AS DRUMF IF NOT WORSE

Didn’t take the bird-flu vax? No driving or you will be arrested and thrown into the gulag! Bird-flu outbreak in your neighborhood? No driving or you will be arrested and thrown into the gulag! Actively woking against Israeli genocide? No driving or you will be arrested and thrown into the gulag! Used up your carbon credits for the month? No driving or you will be arrested and thrown into the gulag! Support trans surgeries for children? No driving or you will be arrested and thrown into the gulag! DON’T support trans surgeries for children? No driving or you will be arrested and thrown into the gulag!
Of course, if you drive a Tesla, Elon will simply turn his cars off. Same for any internet-connected car, most of which are electric or hybrid.
I found this from Nissan in 2-seconds:
www.riverheadnissan.com/2025/03/04/can-police-remotely-turn-off-a-nissan
The globalist tech/farma/banker transhumanist types are evil and insane. We all need to figure out their divide and conquer operation and soon, as the globalists have it out for America, and all nation-states, actually. These tyrants live on jets and on islands and on yachts and to them nations are only a set of laws, a set of encumbrances, that they prefer not to have around, hence all of these totalitarian moves toward global-wide fascism, run by them and their A.I./tech.
So yeah Drumf supporters, buy your Alligator Alcatraz shirts at the fair because you might just end up living there yourselves.

United Paws’ Kittens of the Week
Bobby and Peanut are siblings that were rescued from a life-threatening situation where they were in poor health with no one to care for them. Since coming to United Paws, these sweethearts have been nursed back to health in a loving foster home. Bobby is a handsome little heartbreaker with his tan & dark black stripes and an adorable bobbed tail. Peanut is a beautiful tabby kitten with soft tan & black stripes, white tips on her front toes, and a long tail.
Bobby loves to play with his sister, Peanut, who has two speeds: stop and go. They scramble up and down kitty towers and chase after felt balls or any other toy that tries to escape. A box will entertain them for hours! They both love to snuggle into quiet corners and are learning how to be lap kittens. Together, they will bring hours of fun, excitement, discovery, and much love to a forever family of their own.

Deja vu all over again in Manzanita
Take the City Hall project. The City Manager claimed during the planning meetings that hiring Klosh as an “owner’s representative” was necessary and they would be a vital project team member, in essence a consultant to oversee the other project consultants to achieve cost savings. According to the City Manager “the owner’s representative needs to save as much money as you are spending on your owner’s representative through the process… and we will achieve that.”
The City Council hired Klosh for the project and approved a maximum budget of $133,354 for their services. I recently asked the City for some specific examples of where Klosh saved the project money over the past four years. The City could not identify any cost savings now claiming “Their (Klosh) contributions aren’t measured in specific dollar amounts “. I would imagine that four years ago, citizens understood that the reason, as described by the City Manager for hiring Klosh, would result in the City saving money on the project. We are now to understand that there is no way to evaluate the cost saving promise because no attempt was apparently made to document what if any cost savings were achieved. While City officials attempt to explain this, they should also explain why the total payments to Klosh far exceeded the approved maximum of $133,354 that the Council told us that they would pay for this service.
Remember during the public outreach process when the team presented a combined City Hall and Police station with a foundation that would withstand a major Cascadia event. The design featured dedicated space for an EVC emergency center, south sloping City Hall roof to maximize solar capture, extensive clerestory windows for natural light, cedar shake horizontal siding etc.. It was described as an architectural style with materials that would reflect the unique character of the City that citizens said they wanted, specifically mentioning a City Hall to complement the Library and First Security Bank. We didn’t get any of that. As an adjoining property owner to the project describes it, we ended up with a sheep barn and a loafing shed.
The Classic Street project now underway seems to be following the pattern.
A project Budget is adopted, a modified project bid process that we were told would ” likely result in substantial cost savings and other substantial benefits to the City” was adopted, consultants who we are told are uniquely qualified to do the project are assembled for the team, design drawings are presented to the public and construction timeliness announced. Unfortunately, the project starts unraveling in real time while memories are still fresh.
The City’s proposed project Budget proved to be inadequate, then after spending approximately $450,000 for a design, legal fees, public presentations and bids the City quietly terminated the services of the project engineers. The new bid process then comes into question with potential litigation against the City on the part of one bidder. The City’s mishandling of the project has resulted in funds wasted, a more costly boring of the water line under the existing failing pavement and months of delay ensuring greater total project costs. Expect a scaled down design from what was presented in March with the City having to pay the additional project expenses.
Perhaps the citizen who offered his take on the look of City Hall was on to something. Residents who bear the consequences and foot the bills resulting from our City official’s decisions on these community projects should be even more wary about future projects now that the City has occupied the sheep barn and the fleecing can continue in a new City Hall that as of now, we still have no idea how much more the final total cost will be from what we were originally told.
