Ladies and Gentlemen, Welcome to Seattle, Home of Fascist “Family Values”

Welcome to the State of Taxington

With a DemocRat super-majority in the state legislature, and every state agency staffed by far-left radicals, the citizens had a pretty good idea what was in store for them. That has been amply confirmed this week.

On Cystic Fibrosis…and Medical Miracles
