The big federal drug war show of force over the past six months fails to keep drugs from arriving in the Puget Sound area.
Sealed borders, the Vietnam-Style Drug Boat Body Count, massing US Border Patrol agents at the southern edge of the Strait of Juan de Fuca, the post 911 surveillance state (fusion centers, license scanners, Homeland Security grant money, monitoring of e-mails, text messages, & social media sites, no fly/terror watch lists, tracking of cell phones, best advances in REAL ID and AI technologies, etc.) fail to keep 97.26 pounds of meth and about 5 pounds of heroin from showing up in Pierce County.

Love to see newspeople out asking questions.

We were told the border is sealed. How are drugs still coming in?
Kristi Noem tells us on Feb 4, 2026 that the border is secure:
Did the Vietnam-Style Drug Boat Body Count play any role in keeping these drugs out?
The US Dept. of Homeland Security was established in 2002. This giant federal agency now has more than two decades of experience and lessons learned in working to prevent cartel product from entering the US. More overdose deaths now, or before DHS?
Has the removal of any cartel boss ever created any shortage of cartel product anywhere in the US?
If Kristi Noem has sealed US borders why would suspected drug trafficking boats be a problem?
Since the Vietnam-Style Drug Boat Body Count has kept cartel drugs out, are Seattle area drug addicts having any problem finding their cartel product of choice?
Has any US community announced that first responders are finding less need for Narcan, buprenorphine, Naloxone, fentanyl test strips, or any similar product used in overdose response situations?
Is there any possibility that any DEA office or DEA budget will be downsized due to the success of all US Dept. of Homeland Security/Dept. of War efforts in recent months?
Has any community anywhere in the US downsized or shut down any local drug task force, or narcotics enforcement team due to the success of Dept. of War strikes on narcoterrorist drug boats, ICE crackdowns and designating cartels as terrorist organizations?

Why It Matters
Americans were told that they faced a life and death situation after 911. If certain actions were not taken, terrorists could come to America to disrupt our way of life and attempt another 911.
If all this was a life and death situation that required sending the troops to Iraq and Afghanistan, wouldn’t it be important to ask a few public policy questions about what was going on?
Newspeople have a long history of not asking questions in this area.

Armed Forces Recruiting – 1980s
Part of what made it work:
In past decades, people could do time in uniform, then return to the US with a feeling that they were living in the best country on the planet.
They believed it and their parents and grandparents believed it.
Those who did may have wished to hand down a better version of the modern American society to their kids and grandkids.
Today-
Standards have deteriorated. The troops return to an ongoing breakdown of society.
Both major parties have taken turns in power over the past 40 years or so. For sure, there is a chunk of public policy that has become worse, not better.
Emergency/crisis/chaos mode is what we get now.

Public Records Request
It is very common that public offices in various states will say something like: Go to our website to submit your public records request online.
They would prefer the person with the camera leave the office as soon as possible.
It is common in various states that open records laws allow the public records request to be submitted in person orally or in writing and that the public records request may be made anonymously.
Public records laws set up an open door policy for people to go and interact in person with government offices and agencies during normal business hours at public offices.

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers awards major maintenance contract for North Jetty
By Jerry Knaak The Daily World
Mar 11, 2026
“Meanwhile, Damon Point has been closed for more than a year due to dangerous conditions, and the nearby Quinault RV Park and Marina have been closed indefinitely since last May due to storm damage. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers completed construction of the North Jetty, a three mile-long berm of boulders jutting into the Pacific, in 1916.”
Ocean Shores City Administrator Scott Andersen:
“What we’d really love to see is the remnant jetty also rebuilt as part of that process. That would help us save a lot of land down there. That right now is not on their radar, they view this as a navigation channel issue and that’s why the Port is playing such a big role in their decision-making on this.”
“We were hoping this would happen two years ago, it’s been delayed like a lot of federal projects, but we’re glad it’s finally getting done.”
Our Take
“…delayed like a lot of federal projects…”
Plenty of US federal cash for foreign governments and their military related projects in recent years. Less priority here at home.
“…they view this as a navigation channel issue…”
The foot ferry to Westport was shut down because too much sand and silt built up around the marina on the Ocean shores side. Looks like this is not the kind of navigation issue that matters here.
Drive down to the former public parking area at Damon Point and see what Westport would look like today if efforts to maintain the coast were suspended decades ago.
Zero Questions From Newspeople:
When and why was a decision made to turn away from maintaining the 1916 jetty adjacent to former public parking areas at Damon Point?
Is the jetty adjacent to Damon Point the only section of jetty in Grays Harbor that has gone without maintenance since 1916?
What would Westport look like if efforts to maintain the coast were suspended?
Funding Priorities
In recent years, the US federal government has prioritized big cash for Ukraine, bombing the Middle East and conducting airstrikes on Somalia and elsewhere. The big mystery is the $6.3 million for the used Ocean Shores hotel. Seems like leaders from all layers of government would have been interested in this story and that local people and the general public would have wanted to be informed on how all this came together. Newspeople would not have needed to travel to foreign lands to interview all the players involved.
Today’s American culture is truly weak in terms of newspeople asking questions.

Don’t lie to people and maybe they would be more patriotic.

KOMO Posts A Press Release – Zero Questions Asked
We were told the border is sealed. How are drugs still coming in?
Kristi Noem tells us on Feb 4, 2026 that the border is secure:
Did the Vietnam-Style Drug Boat Body Count play any role in keeping these drugs out?
The US Dept. of Homeland Security was established in 2002. This giant federal agency now has more than two decades of experience and lessons learned in working to prevent cartel product from entering the US. More overdose deaths now, or before DHS?
Did designating cartels as terrorist organizations on Feb 20, 2025 play any role in keeping these drugs out?
Some version of REAL ID has been required at border crossings and ports of entry since 2009.
More cartel drug overdose deaths now, or before REAL ID?
Any questions from newspeople?
Why It Matters
Americans were told that they faced a life and death situation after 911. If certain actions were not taken, terrorists could come to America to disrupt our way of life and attempt another 911.
If all this was a life and death situation that required sending the troops to Iraq and Afghanistan, wouldn’t it be important to ask a few public policy questions about what was going on?
Newspeople have a long history of not asking questions in this area.
