In addition to Druggy Dave, it's time for Joel Mattila to go.

My last impression of Matilda was his scumbag little speech at the last quarterly PCO meeting this month where he babbled about the PCO election results... and came across like the establishment hack he truly is.

Generally speaking, the Republican Party is SUPPOSED to be pro-2nd Amendment.

But the chair of the local GOP is a little "gun shy," in addition to his myriad of other problems.

And so is his sidekick, Joel Mattila, to our lasting shame (not to mention President Trump's), State Committeeman for the Clark County GOP... and coward.

It seems ol' Druggie and company have their own PAC.  And, per PDC regulations, a group of folks exercised their right to examine said books.

They showed up at the appointed place (Local GOP HQ) at the appointed time (7:00 pm on August 6) to exercise their rights.

Both Druggy and Matilda showed up at the appointed time... in a big ol' truck, apparently being driven by Druggy.

And then?

Druggy and Matilda made the following call.  Matilda was doing the most talking, but you can hear druggy in the background.

Now, to the untrained ear, it kinda sounds like intoxicants of some sort were involved.  But Druggy certainly wouldn't actually engage in that sort of thing given his drug issues, would he?  And would Joel "Swampdrainer" Matilda have gotten blitzed before HE showed up for this meeting?

Well, either way, this is yet another episode of "why the CCGOP chair and state committeeman are both unfit to be in any leadership position... doing anything."

I'll let someone who was there (Richard Colwell) explain it:

OH MY GOD! REPUBLICANS AT A POLITICAL MEETING CARRYING GUNS! (or, “How State Committeeman Joel Mattila (Butters) should turn in his man card AND his TRUMP card and go snivel with the progressive Democrats”)

August 18, 2018 removegellatly Leave a comment 

Maybe our Clark County Republican Party State committeeman, Joel Mattila (“Butters”), should stop going to Republican Party central committee meetings?

After all, we know there are a lot of guns there!

In fact, “Butters” Mattila should probably stop hanging out with Republicans altogether if he’s afraid of Conservatives,  Conservative Republicans with guns, and afraid of people exercising their rights protected by the  Second Amendment…

I made an appointment per state law to view the books of the Political Action Committee “Clark Leadership”. Joel “Butters” Mattila and David “Dilatory” Gellatly are the members of that PAC. Under Washington State law, all political committees must make their financial records viewable to the public by appointment. In fact, all political committees must make regular monthly reports of all their income and expenses, which are publicly viewable at the PDC website. Clark Leadership PAC and it’s members have never bothered to file these legally required reports.

I have evidence that leads me to believe money from the Clark County Republican Party was used without authorization to host fund raisers for Clark Leadership – which in my opinion as a member of the Clark County Republican Party should have been directed to the Clark County Republican Party, and not their PAC.  Here is an ad for the event paid for by the Clark County Republican Party:


In defense of the lawsuit Gellatly has filed against me for “defamation,” my attorney and I issued a subpoena to get the bank records of Clark Leadership PAC from Columbia Credit Union. Gellatly’s attorney tried to get that subpoena quashed. Gellatly and Mattila and their attorney are going to extreme lengths to hide the actual facts of their financial records of their PAC.

Thankfully, that motion to quash was denied by the Judge in the case. I and my attorney WILL be getting the records they are trying so hard to hide.

(The) Following is the sequence of events that transpired when they were supposed to show myself and others the records of their PAC.

I showed up at CCRP HQ a little before 7 PM on August 6th.

Gellatly never responded to my request to change the meeting time to 7, so I just figured to show up at 7.

I was met there by:

Kevin Vangelder
Dan Clark
Kalup Veneman
Robert Moon

We were standing outside waiting in front of HQ.

Kevin Vangelder is an Open-carry activist. He always carries his pistol, openly, everywhere. It was in a secure police-type holster the entire time.

I’m almost certain Mattila has been around Kevin, while Kevin has been armed, in the past, and it never bothered him before. Mattila has certainly been at Central committee meetings where a considerable number of Republicans in attendance have been visibly and openly armed in addition to carrying concealed arms – which was apparently never a problem for him.

None of the rest of us were armed in any way.

Kevin kept his pistol in his holster the entire time, and never touched it – you know, like our friend Kevin always does in polite society.

Gellatly and Mattila arrived a few minutes after 7.

They remained in Gellatly’s truck in the parking lot for approximately 20 minutes without talking to us. It appeared like they may have made a phone call to someone while in the truck. During this time they were laughing and taking pictures of us and the papers they later gave to me.

It turns out that was when Mattila was calling 911. Listen to Butters whine in this 911 call audio:
Audio Player

(See the link provided above.)

Considering it was most likely David Gellatly who wanted to use a 911 call as cover for not disclosing their PAC’s books, it was nice that he had a “team player” like Joel “Butters” Mattila to take one for the team…

After about 20 minutes, Gellatly drove his truck up to us, arms length away from me, and stuck his arm out of his window with the papers.

He Asked me with a smile on his face, “Do you want these?”

Joel “Butters” Mattila was laughing and smiling also.

I asked if they were about his PAC.

Gellatly’s response was to ask again the same question – “Do you want these?”

I asked if they were the bank records or books of his PAC.

He asked again, “Do you want these?”

I took the papers.

David and Mattila laughed and drove off.

They drove to a nearby parking lot, turned around, and drove past us on Covington Avenue, about 30 feet away, window down, laughing and smirking at us.

They repeated this, driving by us 3 or 4 times over about a 15 minute period, each time hooting and laughing and waving at us.

All of which is not the behavior of someone in actual fear of their safety; not someone genuinely expressing real feelings of his real fear to the dispatchers at the 911 call center.

Instead – laughing, hooting, hollering, and waving while repeatedly driving by.

Yeah – That’s a strange way to show fear.

We who were there for the appointment to see their PAC’s books decided to stay until 8:30, which we did, because we considered Gellatly may come back at 8, the time he chose for the meeting, in order to claim that we weren’t there so that’s why he didn’t produce the books.

Gellatly and Mattila never came by again and we left at 8:30 or so.

Apparently “Butters” Mattila called 911 during that time we saw him on his phone in the parking lot, but no deputy ever showed up, though a patrol vehicle did drive by at one point long after the Snivel Twins™ had left, but the patrol officer never paid any attention to us.

At no time did Mattila or his apparent consort appear to act afraid or concerned for their safety. Rather they appeared to be enjoying themselves with smiles and laughs. This seemed sophomorically comical to them.

Both Kevin Vangelder and Dan Clark were video recording what transpired. It looked like Mattila and Gellatly were also taking photos and or video of us at points throughout the encounter.

And his claim of an attempted kidnapping as heard in the 911 call?

According to the Clark county Sheriff and Vancouver PD, no report was ever made of an attempted kidnapping of either of those two.

Ever.

Clark County Sheriff letter no responsive records kidnapping

VPD Letter – No Responsive Records kidnapping

Isn’t making false statements to law enforcement a criminal act? I hope they aren’t making a knowingly false accusation that I was involved in any attempt to kidnap them, because that too is apparently a crime.

“Butters” Mattila really is a snowflake.

A whiny, liberal, crybaby snowflake.

He ought to turn in his TRUMP credentials and go snivel with the Democrats…

P.S.
You really should read the PDC complaint I filed, which has all the full details on this event and their attempt to hide the truth of their PAC’s financial records: Clark Leadership PAC complaint all documents

And the 911 dispatch call form:

911 call Clark Leadership

WHO IS DADDY WHOREBUCKS?

Tis the usual season of teacher extortion... or "strikes" as they like to call it.

There are certain things in life that are inevitable.

We've all heard the old saw of "death and taxes," of course, but to that short list we can now add "teacher extortion."

Al Capone had nothing on teacher unions, to be sure.  Each and every teacher strike is illegal in this state, but since most judges and other enforcement officials who can do something about it are leftists, typically, the "public employees can't go on strike" laws are ignored.

Now, most reading this are well are that our property taxes exploded in large part because the WEA bought off the GOP-controlled state senate (at the time) and "Republican" Sen. Ann "Gas Tax" Rivers who was negotiating with those scum at the same time she was being hired by a DEMOCRAT campaign firm (Strategies 360, to be precise) and, well, we've all felt the burn ever since.

The teacher's union, BEING the teacher's union, claims funds were "allocated" to jack up their pay.  The teachers of the Evergreed District, for example, are holding a gun to the heads of their students to the tune of the absurd demand that they get 30% over the next 3 years.  Ridgefield teaching scum just voted to go on strike; others will follow suit because here's the reality: NO NUMBER WILL EVER BE ENOUGH.

If they extorted $200,000 each THIS year, these same scum would demand $10,000 more next.

No amount will ever be enough.

To keep this all in perspective, they have a 183 day work-year (Of which many are "teacher conference" days and numerous "early release" days) of 7 hour days.

Their pay for the end product they produce is absurd.  They whine because they have to get Master's Degrees and they act like they had NO IDEA what the job paid when they became teachers or how much they'd get paid once they signed on the dotted line to actually stand up in a classroom.

Every time they'd go on strike in the past, they'd lie and tell us "it's for the children."

Well, that particular pill would be far too difficult to swallow THIS time, since we all know that the only issue is money... in THEIR pockets.

As I see it, you only have two options:

You can accept the outrageous amount of money you're already getting for what you do, the benefits most of us can only dream of, the retirement that is a mere dream for most of us in conditions that are simply unbelievable in schools that typically are built like malls these days, or you can quit.

In the interim, if you somehow think you're entitled to that money, then go to court and sue for it.

But these illegal strikes are nothing but extortion.  It's why I despise the teacher's unions and their supporters.

If you go on strike, those who see how immoral that is... those who see the lesson they teach to children; namely, that it's perfectly OK to engage in illegal activity for money, activity that breaks the law... should cross the picket lines and go to work with the other staff and substitutes who likely will be doing the same.

Once again, the teachers are holding our children hostage.  And once again, money in their pockets is the overarching reason.

Jaime Herrera's latest scam: electioneering at its worst.

So, Herrera is once again wasting our time on another go nowhere bill that does nothing... EXCEPT to make the people of the 3rd Congressional District THINK she's doing something about Oregon's toll scam.

The bill?

Stop Oregon from collecting their Washington State Welfare tolls unless both leftist governors approve.

Big whoop.

The obvious unconstitutional elements aside, like either leftist would NOT approve of this scam?

So, Jaime drops yet another pointless bill that will go nowhere, like the last pointless bill that she is so incompetent she couldn't even get out of the Republican controlled House... and all so she can confuse the voters at home into believing she's actually doing something to stop Oregon from tolling us.

It's not the first time she's done this and the outcome will be the same: nothing.

Meanwhile, she'll finally show up back home because she's in a fist-fight with our resident carpet-bagger.  For her part, Herrera thinks we're idiots.

She's rarely here and when she IS here, she holds town hall meetings with the frequency of a comet fly-by.

And now, she's dropped a bill that she'll TRY and sell as the cure-all to our tolling problems with Oregon.

Not that Herrera doesn't LOVE tolls, you understand.... she just doesn't want Oregon to collect them for whatever their purposes are... instead of Washington collecting them for the CRC/Loot Rail scam.

And Herrera knows that if Oregon gets these tolls?

The I-5 Bridge scam is toast.

So, in the end, Herrera is once again trying to fool us into thinking one thing while she's doing another.

Except those of us who know how the game is played no much, much, better.

And that's why *I* am going to write in Paul Ryan for her congressional seat.

After all, Herrera wrote him in for President, right?

And what's good enough for Jaime is good enough for me.

In my View: Columbian's Words Un-American

As the largest local disgrace to journalism in Southwest Washington, it's no surprise that the local daily democrat joined the other leftist propaganda centers in the print media and sniveled about the President.

The reality, however, is clear: there is no bigger embarrassment to journalism in the northwester United States then the cancer on our community known as the Columbian.

This disgrace to a free press does anything it can to further their agenda to shape our community into THEIR utopia.

And they've done it for years.

They single out and attack anyone of any stature who opposes that agenda.

For example, back when Marc Boldt was a Republican, this rag allowed it's late, unlamented editor, Tommy "The K" Keonninger, to stupidly and loudly demand that Boldt resign while he was in the House back in '97, in his "Three Nuts and a Boldt" column, such resignation to take place "before the voters throw him out."

Showing how tightly the democratian HAD the people's pulse in mind; Boldt, of course, went on to win his next 5 elections or so.

The reality is that the more Republican Boldt was, the more he was elected.  In this case, Koenninger threw a hissy fit when Boldt and other legislators here and in Oregon got together to cut the Columbia River Gorge Commission's budget as a tool to get them to realize that they were not the local version of the Central Committee of the Supreme Soviet.

This scumbag editor flipped out, and the result was, for example, death threats to the district office... which was me... that resulted in me carrying a gun, since Boldt told me not to report said threats.  And yes, I carried a gun at work.

THAT'S the kind of thing these scum do.

I'm sure that had I been shot... or Boldt had been shot, the scum running the rag would have disavowed any responsibility for that outcome.

Because you know what?

As much as the lowlifes who work there lie and have lied, they are NEVER wrong.

THEY, for example, will publicly speculate, make outrageous allegations, do the best they can to whip up the crowd into a torches and pitchfork lynch mob... and THEN tell us they aren't biased.

Of course they're biased.  They are so leftist that they let the morons masquerading as reporters have a blog or two to spew THEIR venom at anyone to the right of Mao... because, you know, allowing reporters to prove their bias is no worse, than, say, allowing a biased FBI agent to let Hillary off the hook.

Their seething hatred and lies against David Madore, who they see as mostly responsible for killing off the hated CRC/Loot Rail scam resulted in a years-long jihad by Lefty Lou Brancaccio that has yet to end, because any time any conservative runs for anything around here, what does the rag and their minions do?

Infer or allege that said conservatives are, God Forbid, "supported by Madore."

Jimmy Mains tried that shit when I first started beating on my politically worthless brother-in-law long before David Madore even began to run against him, claiming that *I* was beating up on Marc BECAUSE I WAS GETTING PAID TO DO SO.

I get it.  Mains is a leftist.  To be a leftist is to lie, to yourself and to others.

No, as far as I know, the carbuncle on our community never printed such a thing. But it's an illustration of the lies of the leftist mindset... and the rag has gone after anyone to the right FAR harder than they ever have to the left.

When Peter Van Nortwick first ran, Lying Lefty Lou brought up mental health issues... and they endorsed the democrat running against him EVEN THOUGH SHE HAD NEVER BOTHERED TO VOTE IN HER LIFE.

Would they have passed a BAC test?

Lefty then wound up to punch Brent Boger's lights out with his column of venom, being the bully-type leftist he is, until BS Morris and Craig Pridemore publicly bitchslapped him because Brent was one of their fellow leftists.  Brancaccio came to see the light, and he and Brent got blitzed at Lefty's house a while back... you remember this, right?

And then, the God of "Just For Men" hammered ME. and then got placated into thinking, stupidly as it turned out, that Ann "Gas Tax" Rivers dumped me from her campaign as a result.  But then, Lefty never was the brightest bulb on the tree, and manipulating that idiot was never that difficult, his smarmy, dumb ass emails to me notwithstanding.  (It was also the kind of thing Druggy Dave tried to use to beat me up... but then, he soon found out that Lefty had been scammed by Rivers.)

And of course, how many leftists has the rag covered for?

Who can forget Lefty's covering for Jim Jacks, disgraced former democrat legislator who I outed as having screwed around with staff in Olympia.  And of course, that sort of thing was just one of the MANY times the rag censored "speculation" as to why, exactly, Jacks was tossed.

I SAID why at the time.  But the democratian found itself unable to actually investigate and so, they wouldn't print what they knew... but I could at the time it happened... within minutes, actually... but because Jacks was a leftist, what did Lefty do to put the truth out there?

Nothing.

Hey everyone, I just wanted to clear a few things up. I think I used some poor word choices earlier. 

If there is found to be any wrongdoing pertaining to Jacks' duties as a public official, we will certainly write about them. But there have been no confirmed wrongdoings, and we won't print rumors. And we won't tolerate them on our website.

Matt Wastradowski (Columbian Staff) — March 25, 2011 at 3:55 p.m. ( permalink suggest removal ) Ignore User ) 

In order "to be found," one actually HAS TO LOOK.

And THAT never happened, did it?

So the rank, leftist scum at the rag can... and do... "speculate" all they like.  Lefty Lou's columns, frequently factless, are also frequently nothing BUT "speculation."

But when they're covering for a leftist?

Tsk, tsk... that simply won't do!

And the CRC/Loot Rail scam; a decade of lies, exaggerations and deliberate omission of salient facts Then, when the rag FINALLY finds out what CRC/Loot Rail opponents knew all along; mainly, that the CRC/Loot Rail scammers were, BY POLICY, ignoring the people on the CRC/Loot Rail issue, the rag gently slaps their wrist, tells us to ignore that despicable conduct and SUPPORT THE CRC SCAM REGARDLESS.

And going back to the CRC Scam; even when Lefty actually ACKNOWLEDGED what a screw up the process had been, he supported it ANYWAY. 

"There have been so many missteps on this Columbia River Crossing project that if it was entered on "Dancing With The Stars," it would be voted off before Mike Tyson. It's just mess after mess. The tomfoolery is epic. Even its most ardent supporters would agree with this. For me, I hold my nose and close my eyes, and say we should move forward."

Yup.  Let the downtown mafia screw this community.   Let them lie.  Let them manipulate.  Let them make us think they actually give a damn what we want... what we think... and what we care about.

Don't demand anyone's resignation or hold those behind this travesty of tens of millions of dollars accountable for anything and, by God, build that massive rip off ANYWAY.

There are many, many, MANY more examples of the lies, the despicable conduct, the cover ups, the rank dishonesty and the damage these scum have caused... and are causing... this community.

Does the rag in their little "whinefest" mention that or take responsibility for it?

I haven't even read this tripe yet and I already know the answer

There's nothing like the daily democrat's rank hypocrisy... which is FAR more routine and un-American than anything the president has said or done.

Leftists hate President Trump for the usual reasons, but primarily because he humiliated many, including this despicable rag, by making them look like blithering idiots when he won the election and these oh, so, superior leftist scum knew... just KNEW he was going to lose.

Well, he didn't.  And for those like the whiny little bitches at the local rag, I have just the thing to fix the discomfort:

Here ya go.

Find the irritated areas and, well, apply it "liberally," shall we say?

You've only got six more years to get used to the guy.

But since THAT will never happen, then get used to being scorned, hated and vilified because let's face it.  This despicable thing IS, in fact, the very thing the President alleges: an enemy of the people.

If the rag doesn't want want him, or me, or anyone else to not believe they're a pack of liars, the solution is simple: be fair.  Tell the truth.  Knock off writing anything about your opinion which don't matter and which no one, ultimately, cares about.  Stick to the facts.  Presume your readers can think for themselves without any help from you.  And STOP WHINING when you're held accountable for your lies and efforts at manipulation... because guess what: that ain't covered under the "freedom of the press."

Meanwhile, the designation fits.  Over the decades, you've earned it.

You deserve it.

What it's like living in Gellatly's head.

Saturday at the PCO meeting, you'd have thought that the recent embarrassment and waste of money represented by the "Be Bold" idiocy was the greatest political advance since the hanging chad.

It wasn't.

But our drugged out chair is not only convinced that it is.... (And how much was Bitner paid for this stupidity?) he and his minions can't shut up about it.

Well, I disagree with Snowman.  For me, the reason is obvious.  For the first time in years, several allegedly GOP candidates who SHOULD have won their primaries failed to do so.  Many others are far too close for comfort.

But Druggy is SOOOOO convinced of his omnipotence that he feels compelled to share his disdain with other RINO's.... in this case, Lefty Lew Waters:




The reasons are obvious, of course: the incompetent leadership of the Party by this moron is high on the list.

A slate of mainly RINO candidates that kept the base home in droves.

Incompetent advice by fake Republicans that some were moronic enough to listen to.  (Larry Hoff?  You paying attention?  It's not like I didn't warn your dumb ass.)

And yes, as he usually does, Gellatly has made his excuses: "Dems was obviously even more so but expected."[sic]

Yeah.  Their turnout exploded while Gellatly and his thugs depressed GOP turnout dramatically, comparatively speaking.

Because here's the thing:

I've been all over this county over the months and you know what I DIDN'T see?

Any signs by democrats begging their people to turn out and vote.

So, when you compare turnouts in this county, it would seem that the democrats were a little bolder.... and all without wasting a cent on pathetic signs that were the brain child of a pathetic GOP chair.

The question, then, is this: would any of the morons like Hoff who disgraced himself in the 18th district have done even WORSE (if that's possible) without this stupid advertising campaign?

How much did it cost the party?  When are these people going to start to fund candidates?

It's nice to know, however, that our theft afflicted, druggy chair reads my little effort that he so publicly despises... considering how many times he fed me information about that whack-job Crain.

So, what's it like inside that vacuous space?

In between snow storms, the echo is loud and endless.  It's weird that someone who takes so much delight in attacking, belittling and threatening me would follow along so closely with what I've written.

Let me leave a little memo for you, Davey:  Figures don't lie, but liars figure.  Just like your lies about how much money the Lincoln Day Dinner after the Tommy Cleavage debacle, your conclusions about how much more the turnout is and why it is what it is are as factual and justified as any of the rest of your lies.

You pull a number out of thin air.  You fail to mention that turnout was abysmally low for the primary in 2016 as well... at 32%.

Further, you naturally left out what the breakout numbers were if you have them... so instead, you threw out a random number as if you were telling the truth.

Whatever the GOP voter numbers were, clearly the democrats did much, much better than you.

And the reasons are simple: you and your cult have shattered the party, killed fundraising, failed to plan (For example, you didn't even know, of your own admission, that the endorsement/vetting committee had no members and had not met) which is, of course, just another one of your many abysmal failures.

The local democrats out think, out lead, out managed, our executed, out communicated and they were, in effect, able to do everything that YOU managed to screw up.

And you know what?

I doubt that they threatened any of their most devoted followers like you have, Davey.  And I also doubt that they lied about the money they've made off their JJ Dinners, or attempted to "defame" someone (and since we all know about how you feel about BEING "defamed," you scumbag...) nor did they sue any of their PCO's and electorally, they kicked YOUR head in.

Have to wonder how they managed to achieve so much success without doing anything to shatter THEIR party organization around here.... or paying for moronic, idiotic, say nothing, do nothing signs.

"Confused?"  Of course you were,  But to get away from confusion first requires you to achieve a state of sobriety.

If your lame campaign had made any real difference, these disgraceful results of your running the local GOP into the ground wouldn't look like this.

If you knew what you were doing as the guy running this show, these disgraceful results of your running the local GOP into the ground wouldn't look like this.

And no amount of whining on another RINO's thread is going to change any of that.

The responsibility for the political outcomes around here begins and ends with you.

ALLLLLL you.

And when you got involved, there was nowhere for the Party to go except down.  And you and your RINO cult have obligingly made that happen.
