I saw a news story today about firefighters in Seattle. It seems that, sometimes when the Seattle Fire Department responds to a fire, people at the site attack them. Yes, people are attacking city firefighters! If you know anything about the modern city of Seattle, you know that it is riddled with homeless encampments all …
And Germany has been the bellwether. Back in the early 2000s, Chancellor Angela Merkel and her party made the momentous decision to begin the energy transition from "fossil fuels" to "renewables" as quickly as they could.

Shortly after the US Supreme Court overturned Roe vs Wade, returning the control of abortion to the States, the Leftists who run Seattle and the State of Washington vowed to do all they could to "protect abortion rights in our area".
