A Biden Effort to Protect Old Forests Hasn’t Curbed BLM Logging

Earth Day Promise: In 2022, President Joe Biden announced a new effort to protect old forests, which are key to the fight against climate change. But it hasn’t made much of a difference.
Logging Continues: The Bureau of Land Management has allowed timber companies to cut these forests at a faster pace since Biden’s executive order than in the decade that preceded it.

Democracy vs The Big Lie – Post debate interview

For those interested in an exposé of the misrepresentations Frank made at the debate see this enlightening interview with Dr Grimmer.

Defending Democracy From Anti-Democracy Charlatans

Taylor has drunk so much Kool-Aid that even God couldn’t convince him Trump lost the 2020 election. He remains as defiant as convicted felon and election conspiracist Tina Peters at her sentencing.

Defending Democracy Against The Big Lie

Grimmer argued that Frank’s methodology is flawed and his “conclusions are based on profound statistical errors” It would be impossible for me to do justice to Grimmer’s presentation but I will share two slides that demonstrate Frank’s turnout rate prediction is off by 8.54% in Coos County.

Far Right’s Vision For Local Control

Since he was elected county judge — a position similar to that of mayor in a city — O’Hare has pushed his agenda with an uncompromising approach. He has led efforts to cut funding to nonprofits that work with at-risk children, citing their views on racial inequality and LGBTQ+ rights. And he has pushed election law changes that local Republican leaders said would favor them.

Judge Cannon Fails to Disclose Junket

Federal Judge Aileen M. Cannon, the controversial jurist who tossed out the classified documents criminal case against Donald Trump in July, failed to disclose her attendance at a May 2023 banquet funded by a conservative law school.

if you’re not someone who, like me, spends all day working on statistics and data, six order polynomials and nearly perfect correlations — it sounds like he’s uncovered something really impressive.”

Main turns down $50K grant for county

Main also implies a nefarious connection between democracy and socialism. Considering he has worked decades for socialist organizations like Coos County Government I’m not sure what point he is trying to make other than to betray his own prejudice and ignorance.

Inside Project 2025 Training Videos

The Project 2025 videos coach future appointees on everything from the nuts and bolts of governing to how to outwit bureaucrats. There are strategies for avoiding embarrassing Freedom of Information Act disclosures and ensuring that conservative policies aren’t struck down by “left-wing judges.” Some of the content is routine advice that any incoming political appointee might be told. Other segments of the training offer guidance on radically changing how the federal government works and what it does.

Trump Media Quietly Enters Deal With Self Serving Republican Donor

There was a mystery at the center of the deal: One of the companies on the other side of the transaction, which went unmentioned in Trump Media’s press release but was named in securities filings, is an obscure entity called JedTec LLC. Based in a North Louisiana village, the company has virtually no public footprint and no website, and it is unknown to streaming technology experts.

Signs Against “Safety” Levy Popping Up

Signs Against “Safety” Levy Popping Up

Sheriff Gabe Fabrizio, along with District Attorney Paul Fraxier and Coos County Commissioner John Sweet have been urging city councils, civic groups, political organizations and more to support the levy. All this while Fabrizio completely ignores charges of gender bias that allowed an accused rapist, Jason Snelgrove, to escape without even an interrogation.

Justice denied by law enforcement policies

Justice denied by law enforcement policies

How has Fabrizio handled this? By ignoring it. He has refused to return calls or answer emails. Both he and his captain have been overheard discussing these stories saying “people just don’t understand how things work.” They have made zero effort to educate us or provide information about their internal policies that allow such serious crimes as rape and possibly murder go uninvestigated.

Unforced errors regarding the safety levy

Unforced errors regarding the safety levy

It remains to be seen how Measure 6-213 seeking to levy county property owners up to $6 million a year to increase the number of deputy district attorneys and jail beds will make victims of law enforcement bias and investigatory inadequacy safer.

Every self respecting democracy loving American should make it a point to attend these meetings, first and third Tuesdays in Coquille, and I would suggest wearing an orange tie to support the former president doing his time in Riker’s Island or at the very least on house arrest with an ankle monitor.

Shocking Email Raises Questions About Rod Taylor’s Cognition

Shocking Email Raises Questions About Rod Taylor’s Cognition

Peviously we’ve explored whether the commissioner is studiously obtuse but Taylor’s continued allegiance can only be attributed to a serious cognitive decline or more likely a deeply dishonest character. After all, Taylor is an admitted January 6 insurrectionist which makes him a guntoting traitor to his country.
