At about 3:00PM Beirut time, the electronic pagers carried by most of the terror operatives all rang at once. Then, something earth-shaking happened. https://twitter.com/collinrugg/status/1836186676387025394?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ Read …

Every word in this post is true. This year’s election is perhaps the most momentous in the history of America. Depending upon who wins, this country will either descend into Communism and chaos (perhaps even civil war), or embark again on the path to prosperity and “ Liberty and Justice for all”. https://twitter.com/wendyp4545/status/1832755920905884153?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ Your vote …

As has been usual for years, crime is becoming more common all over the Seattle area. The police departments of Seattle and other local cities are under-staffed, for multiple reasons including the "Defund the Police" movement that took hold in 2020, the hostility of the City Council to law enforcement in general, and King County …
