The guy who insulted Biden on his Christmas call:

“Jared from Oregon” who prank called Joe Biden appears to be Jared Schmeck.

What a schmuck.

[ProfessorGAC]

1. He's A Punk!

And, that whole use of the phrase seems so 6th grade.
Guy needs to grow up!

[Stuart G]

2. He hasn't heard the end of that call, and "NEVER WILL"

[llashram]

3. downright

uncivil and mean. Not unexpected to me, anymore.

[multireeds]

4. Id like to see

Let's go Brandon as a reelection slogan in 2024.
Take it away from them

[Bongo Prophet]

7. I can see that...

BRANDON 2024
Let's Keep Going!

[durablend]

8. THIS

Need to start owning these freaks.

[Skittles]

84. LIKE THAT

[MustLoveBeagles]

5. Schmeck is a schmuck

Another idiot gets his 15 minutes.

[highplainsdem]

48. My first thought, too.

Works for Family Business as Office Admin

Medford Cop

Home address

[WA-03 Democrat]

9. A little research shows

He was a cop in Medford Oregon from 2012-2018.
He now works at his family’s Christian Electrican Company call Winema Way in Klamath Falls, OR.
From the company’s website:

OUR CORE VALUES
Our way is to create an environment that changes the way work is done; a place where employees become family; where we empower one another to succeed in every aspect of life; building enthusiasm in our company so everyone goes home safe with love and pride for their work; creating lifelong relationships with those we serve, our team, our customers, and our community; inspiring one another to live every day with the basic Christian value of always doing the right thing.

Here’s their Yelp page because they do things the right way!

[misanthrope]

12. When a company uses religion in its marketing, run the other way

It's often cover for unsavory practices.

"If you're doing business with a religious son-of-a-bitch, get it in writing.
"His word isn't worth shit, not with the good lord telling him how to fuck you on the deal."
-Wm. S. Burroughs

[Rebl2]

14. That's what

I have always thought. To me it’s the same as boasting about how great your business is and how great you are. Can’t stand the hobby lobby commercials for instance.

[Woodwizard]

34. We have a plumbing company in our county called "Preacherman"

The slogan is "where the cross is boss" I do my own plumbing but you can bet I would never call a company like that for anything.

[mainer]

69. Right-on advice

It always seems that companies that boast Christian values are more likely to screw you.

[TheBlackAdder]

16. When you go from PD to an office admin job for a small company, you know his PD exit was atypical.

[WA-03 Democrat]

20. The bully

Got a desk job. Must have been an “event.” I am sure DU has folks in Medford! Spill the beans! Would love to dig further but I have a Christmas fajitas to prepare! Feliz Navidad!

[erronis]

26. Klamath Falls - lovely right-wing hub. Not that there aren't some fine people there, also.

But it's definitely part of the "We'd rather be Idaho" group.

[FightingIrish]

33. I lived in Medford most of my life.

My cousin in Klamath Falls once informed me that, thanks my occasional letters to the editor of the Mail Tribune, I was considered a communist in Klamath County.

[CaptainTruth]

38. There's a Christian electrician company???

What do they do, pray that your wiring doesn't short out?

[Ferrets are Cool]

42. No. That it does...so they can make money for fixing it.

[jeffreyi]

45. Thanks for the info.

I shop in Klamath Falls, and will be happy to avoid that establishment at all costs.

[bluestarone]

57. wouldn't surprise me if this company got some infrastructure bucks?

[panader0]

66. The Yelp website is shut down.

One commenter said to beware because Democratic Underground was posting their site.
Ha ha Ha.

[eShirl]

83. bragging about being Christian, of course

[Grasswire2]

10. yes, hoping for notoriety

And he's getting it.

[FelineOverlord]

11. Yelp

I’ll bet that Yelp page will be getting plenty of new “reviews”

[anotherOKIE]

13. NOT a christian

This man and others like him have drug the name of Jesus through the filth and muck of their sordid beliefs for centuries. How hard is it to be a mature and decent adult?

[misanthrope]

15. It isn't hard

And that's the clincher. So many of these showy Christians act as if they would be complete sociopaths without the threat of everlasting damnation. They obviously don't believe what are essentially sound humanistic ethics can arise from any place other than superstitious origins.

So basically they are admitting to their own twisted psyches.

[WA-03 Democrat]

18. Agree - Joe Biden is a real Christians- i would argue the most since Carter and even more devout

This guy is nut and as far away from Christ as I think one can get.

Here’s a simple test. 2 people get on a phone call and one tells the other call to go fuck himself at the end of warm Christmas wishes. Which one would you think walks the walk rather than talk the talk? As a bonus the caller who was told to go fuck himself immediately and without a moment’s hesitance turn the other cheek.

[erronis]

27. I hope we don't get into the "who is more devout" mode. Religion should not be part of rational

thought such as choosing the best person to represent you.

But then too many would rather pretend religiosity than rationality.

[WA-03 Democrat]

30. It's all double speak

A guy who is not a Christian is a their god king vs. a guy (I see as) being a truly practicing Christian. Of course they hate the guy that is closer to their professed values.

[gldstwmn]

43. In front of his children no less!

[Dirty Socialist]

17. Merry Christmas to you too, Jared

Mother fucker

[BSdetect]

19. Prank calls can work two ways dimwit.

[WA-03 Democrat]

21. Do not box your self in!

The world is media rich! Emails, yelp, google, linkedin and all the misinformation platforms await!

[GoCubsGo]

22. "Schmuck" is being EXTREMELY generous.

He's fucking pathetic.

[raccoon]

23. A Christmas miracle! I came here to ask if anybody had discovered who the individual was. Nt

[Sane1]

24. Thanks to a Deplorable Trying to Diminish Christmas because his guy lost so badly!

So as Melania would say to him:
“Who Geev a Fuck about Chreeestmas?!?”
Asshole

29. Good research! Thank you!

[WA-03 Democrat]

31. Going to look up the loan app

It should be review for errors and omissions at least

[Tanuki]

49. Well done! Good sleuthing. 🧐

[Achilleaze]

59. GREASY republican paws grabbing for government bucks

and then damning the country and Biden for so generously helping them.

There's your classic "republican values" all wrapped up in bullshit.

[NJCher]

60. so this dickhead's family business

gets a bailout under the program put through by Democrats and Biden and he has the colossal nerve to call in with an immature stunt like this. Just under half a million they received. I'd like to see a local do a little investigation on whether they actually abided by the terms of that loan.

[ARPad95]

68. More detail on PPP "loan"

https://www.federalpay.org/paycheck-protection-program/winema-electric-inc-klamath-falls-or

Based on the standard PPP eligibility formula, it may be possible to estimate the payroll expenses represented by a company on their PPP application (see details above). In order to qualify for the PPP loan amount received, Winema Electric Inc's 2019 payroll expenses are estimated to be at least $2.11M.

Based on their reported 24 jobs retained, this equals an estimated average yearly compensation of $87,985 per employee1

For Winema Electric Inc, the calculation used to estimate payroll costs is shown below:

($439,923 / 2.5) * 12 = $2.11M

Hmmm, Jared Michael Schmeck works for his parents, Bill & Cindy (Roy) Schmeck, AKA the owners of Winema Electric, Inc. Do the math. Just between the 3 of them, they supposedly raked in at least ~$270,000 in 2019 ($87,985 x 3). I wonder how much of the $439,923 PPP "loan" they were paying themselves during the pandemic shutdown in 2020. Don't forget! The entire loan plus interest was completely forgiven 7 months after they received it.

Family of grifters!

Didn't take long for the internet to put together this timeline for Jared's wife, Amanda, who is quoted at the end:

After the [infamous] call, she took to Instagram to write, “My husband may or may not have just told joe and jill Biden ‘let’s go Brandon’ on the phone.”

[tenderfoot]

71. Winema Electric Inc shut down their fb page

Gutless cowards.

[NJCher]

72. grifters indeed

Thanks, ARPad95. This makes me so angry. It sounds as if there is some backlash building.

I am going to think this over and also talk about it with a lawyer friend of mine who deals with these types of programs. I'd like to come up with something that alerts their business associates as to what scammers they are.

Disrespect is the very least they deserve.

[ARPad95]

73. Makes me angry, too. I think Jared got a little too smug thinking he and his parents had put one

over on the government in 2020. He just couldn't help himself and got a little too cocky for his own good. I also hope the tidal wave of backlash helps uncover all of the other cheating and scamming skeletons hidden in their collective closets. Time for a good ol' fashion audit of the books!

[niyad]

80. Does it really seem likely that a city the size of Klamath Falls would have an electrical

company with 24 employees, who average 90k/year?

[AverageOldGuy]

28. I think you misspelled his last name.

Should be "SCHMUCK".


Next we come to 'schmuck', which in English is a rather vulgar definition of a contemptible or foolish person – in other words, a jerk. In Yiddish the word 'שמאָק' (schmok) literally means 'penis'.

[MLAA]

32. Bummer the asshole won't get fired since it's a family business.

I do hope they lose customers.

[MLAA]

35. Clicked on Contact on their website...it went to a URL error

[MLAA]

36. I was able to submit a review from their website.

[jeffreyi]

51. I did too.

[MLAA]

56. 🙂

[jeffreyi]

77. Last I checked, the website is now "private."

[MLAA]

78. I was surprised I was able to complete a review, I thought surely they would have shut it down

immediately.

[George II]

37. He works for this company, which his father owns:

They claim the company is "Grounded In Christian Values" !

Driving Christian values into the ground

[The Jungle 1]

39. Hey jared that treasonous pig you voted for lost.

Do try to keep up. Democracy moves on. Do you believe in Democracy? Jared is just another treasonous pig.
Let's go jared.
Their phone is still taking messages! But do not call it.

[totodeinhere]

40. Of course President Biden handled it with grace and aplomb.

And yes Joe know exactly what that phrase meant but it did not cause him to miss a beat. That's our president.

snip--"At the end of the day, I have nothing against Mr. Biden, but I am frustrated because I think he can be doing a better job,” said Jared Schmeck, 35, who works for an electric company and was previously a Medford police officer for six years until he resigned in July 2018. “I mean no disrespect to him.”

snip--"Schmeck said he’s not a “Trumper,” but described himself as “free-thinking American and follower of Jesus Christ.”

snip--"“And now I am being attacked for utilizing my freedom of speech,” Schmeck said, adding that he’s been receiving some vague but threatening phone calls since the Santa tracker call.

“I understand there is a vulgar meaning to ‘Lets go Brandon,’ but I’m not that simple minded, no matter how I feel about him,” the 35-year-old father said Christmas morning. “He seems likes he’s a cordial guy. There’s no animosity or anything like that. It was merely just an innocent jest to also express my God-given right to express my frustrations in a joking manner...I love him just like I love any other brother or sister.”

more at source.

[George II]

52. In other words, "I mean no disrespect but fuck Joe Biden"! Why would a man who trained....

...to be a police officer and worked as one sudden resign? The benefits are great and most have 20-year retirement.

So what happened in his life that he decided to work for an electric company? Hmmmm.

[niyad]

79. His parents own the electric company.

[ornotna]

53. "And now I am being attacked for utilizing my freedom of speech,"

Seems to me these people are using their 'God-given rights' to express frustration with you, dirtbag.

No sniveling, it's so unmanly.

[The Magistrate]

61. You Know, Ma'am, As A General Rule

I do not say 'Fuck you!' as anything but an expression of the utmost contempt and disregard.

And having done so, I stand by my words and do not crawfish when called on it.

His God given rights of free speech. This is where we are. Robust discussion in the public sphere, descended into idiots mouthing coded curses. These people really aren't the sharpest tools in the shed, but tools they are.

Some Christian.

What a schmuck. And Biden was being so nice to his kids on the phone.

[WA-03 Democrat]

I remember all the great friendly fucking Christmas decorations conversations they had with kids.

I remember their bogus country club dinner menus were posted like he was a king. King of corruption and Putin’s puppy

SEAL Is Among 4 Arrested in Arms-Trafficking Plot
By Alan Abrahamson
Times Staff Writer

A Navy SEAL, an El Cajon businessman, a part-time electrician and a San Diego State University student were charged Tuesday by federal prosecutors with trafficking in illegal firearms and ammunition, including automatic weapons, assault rifles and grenades.

Federal agents seized a virtual arsenal, officials said at a press conference Tuesday...

[snip]

"Our concern is that we have people dealing in automatic weapons," said James Stathes, the agent in charge of the San Diego office of the federal Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms, They don't care where they're going. They just want a profit."

[snip]

Bail was set at $150,000 for William L. Schmeck, 27, of Santee, the Navy SEAL, charged with six counts. Agents did not disclose whether they found any weapons or ammunition at his home.

"We're not trying to put a bad rap on the SEALs," Stathes said. "It just so happens that in this case he is a SEAL," a sea-air-land commando.

Four Indicted on Weapons Charges

A Navy SEAL commando and three other men were indicted on charges that they sold high-powered guns and explosives to undercover agents, federal authorities said. The defendants were identified as... and William Schmeck, 27, a Navy enlisted man attached to the elite SEAL commando contingent. "The four individuals were indicted on various firearms and explosives charges dealing with automatic weapons, sawed-off shotguns, C-4 explosives and machine guns,"...

Four arrested on illegal weapons charges

San Diego---A Navy SEAL from Klamath Falls, Ore., was one of four men arrested on federal charges of trafficking in illegal weapons, authorities said Wednesday.

William Lee Schmeck, 27, was arrested Monday night at North Island Naval Air Station. He was released Tuesday after posting a $150,000 personal surety bond.

[snip]


In other words, he was up to NO GOOD! No wonder Jared doesn't think the stunt he pulled on Christmas Eve in front of his children was any big deal compared to his father's massive fail at fatherhood and setting a good example.

You're small potatoes, Jared!

[Blue Owl]

76. A third-rate Grinch

[Poiuyt]

81. "Fuck you, but I meant that in a good way." Yeah, right.

[PlanetBev]

82. Interesting....schmeck has two meanings in Yiddish

Schmeck mean to smell and it is also the plural of schmuck. Several schmucks comprise a bunch of schmeck.
