The platform of Jill Stein

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Jill Stein’s platform

FREE SPEECH
TikTok. 170 million Americans are on TikTok, including Biden’s campaign. The attempt to ban TikTok is nothing more than the latest assault on free speech by government and big tech through censoring and controlling the internet and social media.

TikTok is the leading platform for young people to communicate about their reality of being unable to afford rent, groceries, education and other essentials, while the worsening climate crisis looms over our future and both parties in Washington squander our money on endless war and genocide. Trying to ban TikTok is a transparent attempt to shut down this channel for us to communicate instead of solving the real problems we face.
We won’t let the elites take away one of the last remaining vehicles for free speech. We will not vote for any candidate who supports banning TikTok, and we will only support candidates who protect our free speech.

Voter Dilemma

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

 

Submitted By: bbq@nehalemtel.net – Click to email about this post

PREMISE:
The actions perpetrated against the non-military Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank constitute a crime, a crime against humanity, a war crime or Genocide. Call it what you will.

FACT
The Biden Administration and the candidates for President of the United States chosen by each of the two major political parties openly support Israel’s actions in both Gaza and the West Bank and thus are complicit in them. So say a majority of the UN General Assembly and a significant number of the Countries of the world, the UN International Court of Justice, UN Court of International Law, Scholars of International Law and many well-known scholars, such as Norman Finkelstein and Prof. John Mearsheimer and other reputable and knowledgeable individuals such as Max Blumenthal, Scott Ritter, Jeffery Sachs, Ray McGovern and Alastair Crooke to name a few.

And what can be said of those who vote for one or the other of the aforementioned candidates and their party? Will they have denied that which has been seen ad nauseam on mainstream media since October 8th, 2023, reason that such actions are justified by the right of Israel to exist or find some other rationale to justify their vote and thus become complicit themselves? Since a vote is tantamount to support, one could reasonably conclude the chain of complicity has not been broken so, indeed, the hypothetical voter would surely be complicit.

A prudent voter would, when determining whether to vote for a candidate, determine that candidate held the voter’s basic principles.

Further, if a liberal Democrat or other Democrat holding some liberal views, they would decry racism in any form. Since genocide is racism in its most vile and virulent form, how could said voter cast a vote, say, for the present democratic presidential candidate without violating a basic principle of liberalism and thus becoming complicit in genocide?

Since the Republican Party’s candidate also supports Israel’s actions against the Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank, this same question could be posed to a conservative Republican voter, providing they decry racism in its varying forms.

This scenario provides both major parties with a conundrum … one which calls for the voter to remain true to their basic principles or allow the policies of their Party or Party’s candidate to supersede them. It is times like these that try one’s faith and resolution.

Why I’m voting for Harris–reluctantly

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: tduncan@pacifier.com – Click to email about this post
Why I’m voting Harris, with reluctance I’m down with Chuck in that Jill Stein is the morally correct choice in the fast-approaching election. And I agree with Chappell Roan that “both sides” have problems. So I will vote for Harris this time, because, unlike her opponent, she has not proclaimed LOUDLY that she will be a dictator and she is not an out mobster/rapist/fabulist/insurrectionist.
Harris will likely restore women’s rights to the degree they can be restored, for those courageous enough to dodge the bullets. She will preserve professionalism in federal agencies, which her opponent has vowed to destroy. The endless, expanding wars will continue, with full US taxpayer support and an approaching military draft, irrespective of who “wins”. Harris continues to be an ardent supporter of Israeli state fascism. Greenwashing will continue as the earth burns. Any sort of resistance to oppression and state violence is being squelched, and it appears Harris is OK with that. Her opponent openly threatens earth protectors and peace advocates with imprisonment and death.
So yeah, I’m voting for Harris, but not because I have any notion that the Democratic Party is benign or altruistic. It’s because her opponent is so obviously seriously impaired and very dangerous.

Why I am Not voting for Kamala Harris

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: dixiegainer@icloud.com – Click to email about this post
Since the rules have changed and we can now poke at the other candidate for president I am submitting my reasons for not voting for Kamala Harris. I am one of the many independent voters in Tillamook county.
1. I have observed Kamala in her role as vice president. I have not been impressed in any way,
period. Not impressed.
2. The more I find out about her and listen to her
talk the more alarmed I am. Searching the internet I find lots of things that make her a very unattractive candidate but decided I would write about her stance on the important issues facing our country.
*The economy -inflation – Strong inflation did not occur until the Biden presidency. Donald Trump (2017–2021)
Average YOY Inflation Rate: 1.9%
Joe Biden (2021–)
Average YOY Inflation Rate: 5.2%*
*https://www.investopedia.com/us-inflation-rate-by-president-8546447.
Her solution to put in “price controls” are alarming. Throughout history this has never worked and causes food shortages and famine. Food shortages and famine are a globalists plan. I haven’t heard anything different from her so far. She listened to what Trump proposed for helping the economy and she said -OH! Yeah! me too. If Trump has a good idea about some tax cuts -Kamala says OH! “me-too” Oh – and the border – now she says Oh “me- too.”
She is your “me too” candidate for president!
The border. Crossing our border now, are drug cartels, human traffickers, armed young men of military age, lots of Chinese who have their own special route. Lots of fentanyl coming in to Oregon -a big enough problem here to pass some legislation about solving this problem.The reason countries have “borders” and a border check points are to keep out these kinds of people.
I guarantee you she will do nothing about the open border because that is a globalists policy – it is happening to other countries as well – open borders – This is a globalists policy – the purpose of which is to destroy nation states and have a “One World Government” She will not have a protected border. She is working for the globalists, although she probably doesn’t realize that.
Health Care: Many persons running for office are for “medicare for all” Obama ran on this – We vote for people who say they are for this, but we never get it. Oregon has been working on a medicare for all plan for a while but there is the Oregon Health Care plan now for medicaid and it has very serious problems. So I have no hopes for “medicare for all” in Oregon. Or in the USA.
Womans rights? I assume hers is the typical pro-choice stance, as is mine. And Trump’s is pro-life. In Oregon our Oregon constitution guarantees abortion rights so that is not a problem in this state. Pro-choice is here!
There is a childcare tax credit. It was 3000.00 when Trump took office – he raised it twice to 5000.00 and Kamala says she is going to raise it to 6000.00. That is her answer to the economy and young people who would like to be home owners. She says she will give a 25,000 dollar down payment to first time home buyers – well that is nice. Who is going to pay for it and will it be enough to buy a home? I don’t know and I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting for this either.
Did Biden’s “pay off student loans work?” It looks like it didn’t according to the GAO. Here is your link www.gao.gov/products/gao-24-107150
What else?
She has failed miserably in all debates except the one by ABC which was totally stacked by friends in the media business: GOP congressman says ABC News may be called to testify about Trump-Harris debate fairness. Other than that she has failed miserably in debates or serious interviews –
and appears to be drugged. Seriously she does appear to be drugged, and I think she is. I tuned into the Oprah-Harris Townhall interview and was watching it – and it was quite embarrassing for Kamala. She actually once again appeared to be under the influence of something – drug or alcohol. My son and his daughter are here visiting. They are Kamala voters – I turned to Oprahs program for them but they said they didn’t watch stuff like that. I am convinced that they are voting AGAINST Trump instead of voting FOR Kamala. What are you doing?

WANDA’S TEMPORARILY CLOSED FOR CONSTRUCTION: UPDATE

Posting for frank@wandascafe.com
Our extensive patio construction project continues.
To enhance the comfort of our guests waiting for extended periods, we are expanding our covered waiting area to offer more shade and rain protection over the entire courtyard area.
The pergola is made of powder-coated, aircraft-grade aluminum. It should never rust, dent, or disintegrate and will withstand the most extreme coastal winds.
We are also replacing the wooden ramp and stairs with a new concrete structure that is fully ADA-compliant, replacing the steep, grandfathered-in structure.
We will continue to post more photos on our Facebook page as we progress.
Depending on how quickly the project progresses, we hope to be back open by Oct. 3rd. So far, so good!

BBQ posting clarifications

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: barbaraandchuck@nehalemtel.net – Click to email about this post
We have been accused of not posting pro Trump posts on the bbq. With the exception of one individual THAT IS NOT TRUE.

That individual’s posts were not posted because they contained foul language and/or language attacking the character of someone. Let me be clear. Our refusal to post had nothing to do with the ideas presented in the post. Despite repeated warnings and opportunities to edit their posts, this individual continues to submit posts containing ad hominem; vilification; shaming or other contemptuous language. So we continue to refuse to post them.

If anyone else submitted a post on any subject that did not make it to the website it was strictly technical. If you do not get a thank you message after clicking on “submit” we are most likely not able to post it for some technical reason, often a problem with the size of images. If this happens to you check the home page for tips on posting or send us an email. We will do our best to get your post posted. We have been successful in helping a number of people who had technical issues get their post on the website.

Recently, for a limited time, we had a bbq survey of what people liked about their chosen presidential candidate. For that survey, we had a rule that the post couldn’t contain language about the other candidate. Since that survey has ended that rule no longer applies. As long as a post doesn’t violate the policy stated above, we will post it.

Here’s how the technical aspect works on our administrative end.

A person clicks on “here” under the heading “To Post” or in the sidebar of the home page of the website (northcoastbbq.com) and enters their zipcode and email address. A link is sent to their email. (Please be sure to check your spam if you don’t find the link in your inbox.)

Once you click on that link you get a Record ID number and you are put in our posting queue. At that time the status of that record is NO. It remains NO until you fill out the form and click on submit. If that submission is successful, (ie you get a thank you message), the status of that record then changes to YES. We can only post records with a YES status and we process those YESES daily. To keep the queue manageable, if a record stays in the NO status for more than 24 hours it is deleted.

Since our process for posting is not automatic, if your post is time sensitive, please give us 24-48 hours to post. The Daily Summary comes out at 6 every evening and we do our best to process all YESES before 6. Sometimes that is not possible as we are not at the computer.

There is one other rare technical mishap that we have experienced. Our posting process takes 2 steps. Very rarely the post inexplicably disappears after the first step and we have no way of posting or retrieving it or contacting the poster.

Please contact us if ever your post is not successful.

Barbara and Chuck
