What’s up with Education in Seattle, and the rest of Washington State?

Aside from the fact that Seattle teachers are very well-paid, with generous benefits that no one in the private sector can match, the state of Education is parlous all over Washington. In spite of their great pay packages, Seattle teachers still wait until the last moment before school starts to vote on their union packages, …

Seattle today.

There were 3 shootings this weekend in Seattle. 3 are dead, 3 are wounded, and no one has been arrested. Instead of dealing with that, Seattle Socialist Mayor Katie joined Embassy Suites workers on the picket line. Last time she joined striking workers, Starbucks moved. https://twitter.com/choeshow/status/2097104228141658266?s=20 Then, again... Another fatal shooting in Seattle last night, …

*Very Clever, Washington Democrats! Screwing the Public Employee Unions who support your Income Tax!

It seems that the Legislature of Washington State, when it passed its "Millionaires Tax" this year, inserted a bunch of little time bombs for their Public Employee Unions. The Teachers Union is the largest supporter of Democrats at all levels of government, and they have a huge weight to throw around. They allocate the millions …

Sama Says: Time for a History Lesson. Nutrition and Plague in Medieval England.

This story is fascinating. I love Medieval history, as it was a period that led to earth-shaking changes, not only cultural but environmental and physical, all over the world. Here's what happened in England. The Black Death did not arrive in England to find a well fed population. It arrived to find a generation that …

About the death of Gloria Steinem, “Feminist Icon”

I knew she was still around, but didn't know how old she was. 92. She was a well-known Radical Feminist, who was among the originators of Ms. Magazine, which I read in college. Along with her cohorts in the radical movement, she advocated women going immediately into the work force, and eschewing marriage and children. …

*Never a peaceful moment in the Pacific Northwest. Fighting Leftist Tyranny.

We simply can't relax around here. The Democrat Overlords (as they see themselves) will come up with new ways to tax and hound their constituent peasants, on a near-daily basis. When it's not gangs of black teens terrorizing law-abiding neighbors, it's the new taxes and fees, either existing or proposed. A local commenter today laid …

Guest Author: Judi, @DeafLibertarian on Deaf Culture.

I have followed this lady for almost as long as I have been on X/Twitter, and I really value what she has to say. I have been aware of "Dead Culture" for a lot longer, and Rush Limbaugh definitely encountered it when he went profoundly deaf in adulthood. He got some pushback from the Deaf …

Are you worried about how Facebook, Google, and other big sites use data they collect about you? Pay Attention to the Big Three

That will seem like elementary school, compared to the new tie-up between two financial-data providers.  Be afraid, be VERY afraid.  You voluntarily sign up for a Facebook account, and you make a conscious decision to use Google products, like internet search, Gmail, and YouTube.  You can decline to use Facebook, and there are alternate search …
