Actions speak louder than words Humboldt GOP and HCDCC

Who was the joint press release sent to? So far, I have only seen it printed in one publication, North Coast Journal. That publication is not the media source people go to for breaking news, original news or the first place to look for local news.

I did not see it on Redwood News, North Coast News, Times Standard, Kym Kemp, Lost Coast Outpost or Mad River Union or KMUD.

I know I did not receive it. I am the only one who has consistently reported on the GOP vandalism case and many other posts about the GOP that no one else covered. I cover a lot of news no one else does locally. 

Humboldt GOP, Humboldt County Democrat Central Committee, Fortuna Police and many others locally are unprofessional, inept, immature and petty. They don't have a clue about press coverage or what is considered media and the most effective way to get out information.

EPD, APD, HCSO and many others locally are consistent and inclusive in sending out information. They hire people who are professional.

I could care less about not getting a statement from two dinky, ineffective, local political organizations. Humboldt GOP and HCDCC only matter to a small self serving group of locals. The press release was insipid.

I receive press releases statewide and nationally from people who found out about my blog. A press release from just anyone is not news. Not every press release gets printed. A statement by Humboldt GOP and HCDCC days after one of the most significant events in U.S. history is pathetic.

The Humboldt GOP still has Facebook posts up about MAGA rallies and Stop the Steal. The violence at the U.S. Capitol was due to misinformation and lies about this election. Humboldt GOP members can believe whatever they want privately but to issue a statement denouncing violence while promoting rallies that  perpetuate a lie debunked by facts, election officials and a lie that did not stand up to fact or evidence in any court of law shows words are meaningless.

HCDCC has been discriminatory of individuals not in their little clique. They define their own meaning of Democrat. If you don't have a D next to your registration; you are dismissed as Republican. You can be independent, libertarian; it does not matter.

Actions speak louder than words. Party labels today mean nothing. Character, love of country and patriotism is exemified by people who treat each other with respect and value truth. People who value God, morals, country and other human beings and don't define themselves by a party label or have blind allegiance to politicians are patriots and Americans.

I could care less what these two groups think. The preliminary hearing for GOP vandalism suspect Michael Valls will show if the break in by him was politically motivated. As for the other break ins at GOP, they have no evidence who was responsible for the vandalism. HCDCC also has no evidence that the intent was political. Both the offices are in high crime areas with mentally ill, drug addicts and criminals loitering. 

Both offices only have signs and items belonging to one party. So to say the destruction of anything in either office or stolen items was solely politically motivated is speculation. Such unfounded accusations are what causes divisions. 

There is only one group unhappy with the election results. That group does not speak for all Republicans or conservatives.

I liked EPD Chief Steve Watson's statement. He and law enforcement put their lives at risk every day; even for those they disagree with and treat others with respect; even those who don't reciprocate in kind.
