Fiona Goddard is a young British woman who went through an almost unspeakable experience at the hands of Pakistani Rape Gangs in the city of Bradford, North Yorkshire. She was under their control for months, became pregnant, bore a child, and had that child taken away from her by the State. The fact that she …

Now what? Just back to the way things used to be three months ago, and maybe worse. The people in the Chinatown-International District are taking their anger (at the dumping on their already dirty, crime-filled streets of the homeless criminals and addicts from the SODO area to keep them from disturbing the international tourists) to …

Let’s talk about Democrat Failed Policies. Or are they?

A VERY popular phrase used by Republicans running for office is "Democrat Failed Policy." By this, they mean the urban devastation, drug overdoses, failing schools, exodus of productive people and businesses, and blighted neighborhoods found in mostly black Democrat-governed metropolitan areas. The Republican candidates always refer to those effects as "failed policies," but are the …

Just today, from overnight, this is what went on in Pioneer Square, the downtown historic district. https://twitter.com/KatieDaviscourt/status/2065909744918007810?s=20 Street takeovers by young people who block off the intersection and drive their cars around, skidding and throwing people every which way. This is near the soccer stadium where the first matches will be played on Monday. By …

*The second most-publicized Mayor in America, for numerous reasons. All of them detrimental to the well-being of Seattle.

Since avowed Socialist Katie Wilson, a 43-year-old woman who had never held a productive full-time job before, still receiving financial help from her Leftist parents in another state and married to a man who refuses to work or take care of their child; was elected Mayor of Seattle, all the news from the city has …

And this is not a good thing. Ghetto Culture is a feature of the black community in America, and reveals itself in the increasing numbers of "Teen Takeovers", twerking, demonstrations at high school graduation ceremonies, and mob fights on cruise ships. Since litigiousness increased around the 1990s, public schools have avoided classroom discipline, in fear …

Let’s check in with the City of Seattle/King County and see what has been going on there.

Given that Katie Wilson is still the mayor, it's hard to imagine that very much good has been happening in Seattle. There has been little to no progress on the homeless situation, as can be expected. In the run-up to the FIFA World Cup matches in June, the Seattle city government has actually been moving …
