Welcome to the beautiful Pacific Northwest. Chipping away at Society every day.

Here in the Pacific Northwest, we have some of the most beautiful scenery anywhere.  There's Mount Rainier, the Olympic Mountains (see my blog header), Puget Sound, Lake Washington, and the Seattle skyline with the Space Needle.  Unfortunately, not too far beneath that beauty exist local governments who seem bent on ruining the livability of their …

The Health Nazis will Not let the US get back to normal…ever.

More garbage from the cesspool that is Seattle

There is a person in Seattle city government whose job title is "Inspector General" of the Police Accountability Commission, and she recently sent a letter to the Interim Police Chief, Adrian Diaz.  The subject of her letter was "routine traffic stops" in the city, and she thinks that the Seattle Police should no longer do …

Yes, it’s about Control now, not “Public Health”, and here’s proof

Finally, our Dictator here in Washington State has relaxed the statewide mask mandate that required everyone to wear a face-covering at all indoor locations other than home; with businesses made the enforcers by threatening them with fines or loss of business license if they admitted people with no mask on.  Now, those businesses may issue …

The Health Nazis succeed in demoralizing the population

So that, when they loosen the restrictions on Society, the people remain enslaved by their own fear of the Wuhan Coronavirus.  For over a year, the Health Nazis have been shouting "Fire!!" in the crowded theater of Society, with their Press enablers publicizing the thousands of deaths; full ICUs, lost jobs and livelihoods, closed businesses, …

Welcome to Joe Biden’s (and Bernie Sanders’s) America

Good morning/afternoon everyone.  This morning, this is what we woke up to on this fine Monday morning in May. Colonial Pipeline taken down in massive cyber-attack.  Might be an act of War.  State of Emergency declared, gas prices to skyrocket.  Attack attributed to Russian hackers.  This one is not a hoax. Middle East explodes, as …

There is one good thing to come out of the draconian Health Nazi Covid rules

That one thing is the new concept of the "Virtual Annual Shareholder Meeting", now required by most companies, as their local rules forbid large gatherings.  In the past, I could only attend the annual meeting of one of the companies whose stock I own, and that company is headquartered in my area.  I thoroughly enjoyed …

It’s all in how you look at it, or whom you talk to. Police officers in Seattle are refused service.

Last week, there was a story in the news, carried by two publications. I read both stories, and was amazed at how different the perspectives were, at the two outlets. The subject of the stories was a Seattle chocolate shop, and how an employee refused service to a police officer. Both publications got the facts …
