Above: Wave action at Damon Point
Some may say Homeland Security is a scam and that newspeople have avoided asking questions related to Homeland Security funding and performance for decades now.
Below, we’ll offer up several examples of what we’re talking about.
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.
In The News
Dept. of War strikes on narcoterrorist drug boats, Kristi Noem, a giant and expansive US Dept. of Homeland Security, tough talk, massing US Border Patrol agents at the southern edge of the Strait of Juan de Fuca, REAL ID and the DEA fail to keep fentanyl & meth from arriving in Grays Harbor County:
Fentanyl, meth seized as Task Force arrests two in Aberdeen
The Daily World

Weapons Of Mass Destruction Are Back
“Fentanyl was also recently designated a weapon of mass destruction, a move that expands the DEA’s authority to combat trafficking.”

DEA
The Northwest High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area chases after cartel product not stopped at the border by Kristi Noem.
Will Northwest HIDTA be shut down when cartel drugs stop entering the US? Have recent US Dept. of Homeland Security efforts reduced the need for Northwest HIDTA services?
Any questions from newspeople?
Drug Cartels Designated As Terrorist Organizations
Did the advantage of designating terrorist organizations in Iraq and Afghanistan allow those undeclared wars to be prevented, won or shut down?
Drug cartels were designated as terrorist organizations back on Feb 20, 2025.
Both major parties have been OK with wasteful and ineffective Homeland Security spending.
Kristi Noem was supposed to keep cartel product out. She became irrelevant when Operation Macho Swagger went hot to take out boats thought to be operated by drug cartels.
Real newspeople may ask:
Are Seattle area drug addicts having any problem finding their cartel product of choice due to any federal drug war effort?
Under Kristi Noem
Cartels move product into all 50 states.
DEA High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas:
“…HIDTA-designated counties are located in 50 states…”
Welcome Home Troops. Thanks for doing time/risking your ass in Iraq and Afghanistan, working to keep a post 911 USA safe & secure.
Don’t worry-The Super Bowl and public affairs will be safe:
Real newspeople may ask:
If special games require special security-what keeps regular games safe? Crowd size/capacity is similar at several stadiums.
Are fans less safe at regular games?
What prevents terror strikes at hundreds of events & locations unsupervised by federal authorities?
What stops terrorists from going 2 states over and driving a truck across the playground at a daycare center?
Welcome Home Troops
Head Over To Walmart
Common flashlight batteries are now locked up like diamond jewelry:
Kristi Noem is sealing off the border. Any day now, cartel drugs will no longer be available anywhere in WA.
People will no longer need cash to support a drug habit. There will be no more need to steal, and we can all go back to how things were in the last century.
Back to a time before 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?
We’re not impressed.
Credibility squandered, enthusiasm dried up.
Don’t lie to people and maybe they would be more patriotic.
Port Angeles Drug War
A significant Homeland Security/CBP/Border Patrol presence at Port Angeles and the expanded Port Angeles USBP HQ have been in place now for more than a decade.
New Port Angeles USBP Station opened more than a decade ago. Has the new station been able to prevent cartel drugs from entering the Olympic Peninsula?
Newspeople remain silent.
Were Clallam County drug overdose death numbers higher before the US Dept. of Homeland Security was established (2002) or are the numbers higher with a $51.6 billion (every 12 months) US Dept. of Homeland Security in place? 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?

Over in Island County
Has the Island County Homeland Security-funded patrol boat been involved in any arrest or seizure related in any way to the US/Canada border?
Newspeople remain silent.

Over At The Airport
Newspeople refuse to ask:
What keeps the terrorists with no ID of any kind from creating a disruption at the back end of the airport security screening line?
