A Little Help for America
This afternoon, in Washington DC, Judge Amy Coney Barrett was confirmed as the newest Justice on the Supreme Court. In the vote in the Senate, all of the DemocRat members acted like little babies, throwing a temper tantrum. The majority of them refused to be in the room for the vote, and the ones who …
The Mask Slips on Seattle Homeless Mitigation Plans
In Seattle, the City Council passed, over the Mayor's veto, a bill to reduce the budget of the police department. Included in this bill was a provision to eliminate the Navigation Team (wherever did they get that name?

I was alerted to this new (?) stance by the All-Powerful World Health Organization, warning countries NOT to lock down their economies to fight the Wuhan Coronavirus.

Damn You, Jay Inslee, Round Two
The title of the KOMO story is "State has Fined 11 Businesses over Covid-19 Mask Mandate. In my opinion, this is pure, unadulterated EVIL. Here is a quote from the article: The state Department of Labor & Industries said Wednesday in a news release that Mail Express Business Center in Enumclaw got the largest fine …
He Said it Better Than I could: If I were Director of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention.
Bid Welcome to our Guest Writer for today, Ricochet Member OmegaPaladin. I am very impressed with his essay on what he would do if he were the CDC Director. My sentiments exactly!
