I can't believe I am actually saying this, but I think the normally-stupid Governor of Washington State actually did something very good today. This action leaves me shaking my head in bewilderment, but smiling. It so happens that, today, Inslee vetoed $445 Million in spending passed by the heavily-DemocRat Legislature. This is simply unbelievable! Finally, …

How Seattle businesses prepare for the 2-week “Stay at Home” edict-Updated with Yep!
Remember Seattle? The city on the Left Coast with the huge homeless population living in tents and under tarps on its streets?

Yes, that's exactly what has happened here in the "Hot Zone" of the Seattle area. The epicenter of the novel coronavirus epidemic in the US is a long-term-care facility in Kirkland, Washington, with the ironic-seeming name of Life Care Center of Kirkland.

Now, which party was it that constantly harps on wanting to “get the big money out of politics”?
I do believe that the push for "campaign-finance reform" came from the DemocRat party, with the assistance of RINO Senator John McCain (McCain-Feingold). Oh, and also the infamous "Citizens United" Supreme Court decision that allowed, get this, Corporations and Labor Unions to spend money on political campaigns. Numerous groups declare their interest in repealing that …
Jeff Bezos is a Fool

So, he is spending his own fortune, giving money to "scientists, activists, and non-profits" who are intent on saving the planet from climate change. Activists?? Non-Profits?? Well, he's welcome to spend …
