To The Eagle: Joe Kent would be a disaster and an embarrassment to Washington. He is a Trump wannabe who believes the much debunked big lie. He is a white nationalist who associates with Proud Boys and Oath Keepers. He says Jan 6 was just a single day incident and wants the participants pardoned. He wants to defund the police and the FBI. He would set women's rights back more than a century. He is so ignorant of the laws that he claims he himself will impeach the president in a single day. We don't need any more militant, know-nothing,...
To The Eagle: MAGA zealots still believing the 2020 election was stolen from former President Trump have crafted a plan that, in their telling, will thwart ‘cheating’ in this year’s midterm elections. Their strategy? For voters who receive a mailed ballot- hold onto it and hand it in at a polling place or election office on Nov. 8 at the last minute. The plan is based on unfounded conspiracy theories that voting systems will be manipulated to rig results for Democrats once they have seen how many Republican votes have been returned early...
To The Eagle: Democracy is a system of government by the whole population or all the eligible members of a state, typically through elected representatives. Importantly, voting and accepting the outcome, as voted by all. Right now, we are facing many election deniers; Kent is one of them, supported by denier in-chief, who has pushed the Big Lie for years, leading up to now. Many reasons beyond Democracy to vote, but without democracy, it will be meaningless. . . . Whomever you choose to vote for, should be a believer in DEMOCRACY and the...
To The Eagle: I urge the citizens of Wahkiakum County to vote for Holly McKean for prosecutor. I worked for the City of Port Townsend's City Attorney Office when Holly joined the office. In fact, I was one of her tutors as she completed the APR 6 program You may not be familiar with the program, but as someone who both graduated from law school and has now tutored two law clerks as they study the law, I can assure you that the law clerk program is a vigorous legal education that more than prepares someone to practice law. Law school teaches a s...
To The Eagle: First, I am not enamored with either the Democratic or the Republican party. Corruption and incompetence are rampant on both sides of the aisle. However, Trump and Trump sycophants (?psychophants? – my word) have dragged the once respectable political party into the mire. How could our proud republic allow itself to be presented to other nations by a vulgar, uncultured, loud-mouthed, racist, misogynist buffoon - and consider to do so again? Has any previous president been laughed at during a meeting of the United Nations, been s...
To The Eagle: . . . Wahkiakum County ranks high among the most peaceful, successful, and secure counties in the nation despite being in a state that routinely ranks among the worst. Some of this is no doubt due to the fact that we are a small rural county, but I attribute much of our recent success to the quiet, competent leadership of three people in particular: Commissioner Dan Cothren, Sheriff Mark Howie, and Prosecutor Dan Bigelow. One of them, Bigelow is running for re-election this year and the upcoming midterm election is our first...
To The Eagle: Things to ask yourself before you vote democrat are worth asking. Will you vote for the ongoing deterioration of our military?, the decline of our standard of living?, the erasure of our national border?, or the basic moral and civil code? Will you support kicking parents out of their say in their kids’ education?, or the sterilization of minors with government gender bending? Do you support abortion up to the moment of birth?, the destruction of US industry?, the demonization of half or more of our population?, or herding p...
An "Important Notice" advertisement from the Wahkiakum County Treasurer in the Oct. 20 edition contained an error: Second half payments are due on or before Oct. 31, not Oct. 21, as the advertisement stated incorrectly....
