Guest Washington Author: Rip Wheeler (@wheelerRipWA) on the stupidity of state government. Cart before horse?

It seems that the State of Washington, which everyone knows is just rolling in taxpayer money, decided to build the new facility but neglect to staff it! Olympia just can't wait to spend every penny coming in at least three times, even before it is received! Emphasis mine. WELCOME TO WASHINGTON STATE GOVERNMENT Where the …

*Hello, Citizens of Washington State. You can kiss your natural gas heating and appliances goodbye. Court victory for climate alarmists.

Today, the Leftist-biased Washington State Supreme Court did what it was expected to do, and threw out a Citizen Initiative challenging a state law outlawing the use of natural gas for any reason, including home heating and appliances. Initiative 2066 passed handily in 2024, and the usual suspects immediately challenged it, stating that the People …

Thoughts on Societies, and on America. Poor peasants.

I am reading Thomas Sowell's book "Wealth, Poverty, and Politics", and his discussion of the many factors that affect what kind of society results from a variety of geographic, demographic, social, and genetic factors interacting. For a long time, I have thought about societies like those in Russia and most European and Asian countries in …

DEI is Alive and Well in Washington State

Of course, the Leftists in charge of our state have sued the Trump administration over 50 times, both alone and in concert with other Leftist states, over every single executive order he has issued. Our elected officials have not only passed the largest number of new taxes and increased taxes on citizens, but passed an …

Seattle today.

There were 3 shootings this weekend in Seattle. 3 are dead, 3 are wounded, and no one has been arrested. Instead of dealing with that, Seattle Socialist Mayor Katie joined Embassy Suites workers on the picket line. Last time she joined striking workers, Starbucks moved. https://twitter.com/choeshow/status/2097104228141658266?s=20 Then, again... Another fatal shooting in Seattle last night, …

*Very Clever, Washington Democrats! Screwing the Public Employee Unions who support your Income Tax!

It seems that the Legislature of Washington State, when it passed its "Millionaires Tax" this year, inserted a bunch of little time bombs for their Public Employee Unions. The Teachers Union is the largest supporter of Democrats at all levels of government, and they have a huge weight to throw around. They allocate the millions …

Sama Says: Time for a History Lesson. Nutrition and Plague in Medieval England.

This story is fascinating. I love Medieval history, as it was a period that led to earth-shaking changes, not only cultural but environmental and physical, all over the world. Here's what happened in England. The Black Death did not arrive in England to find a well fed population. It arrived to find a generation that …

About the death of Gloria Steinem, “Feminist Icon”

I knew she was still around, but didn't know how old she was. 92. She was a well-known Radical Feminist, who was among the originators of Ms. Magazine, which I read in college. Along with her cohorts in the radical movement, she advocated women going immediately into the work force, and eschewing marriage and children. …
