More sad news from Europe, whose governments continue to favor invaders over their own citizens. https://twitter.com/thebritlad/status/2050219159846281521?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ https://twitter.com/niohberg/status/2050262651784020435?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ https://twitter.com/mrandyngo/status/2050074829689074014?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ https://twitter.com/islaminvasion/status/2049797963568820468?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ https://twitter.com/realdannytommo/status/2050107872080547958?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ https://twitter.com/adrian_hilton/status/2050102411516121473?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ Inheritance taxes apply to schools now Leftist governments never have enough of other people’s money, so they impoverish their citizens until there are none left to extract taxes from. https://twitter.com/realmaalouf/status/2050202626294259859?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ https://twitter.com/radiogenoa/status/2050090812575269368?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ Offered amnesty to …

My Final Post on the War on Iran

First, I agree with the vast majority of actions the Trump Administration has taken on Iran. If anything, I think we need to be harder on them, taking out every bit of their war-making ability. The below economic activities are excellent, given that the mullahs have funds stashed almost everywhere in the world. The Mullahs …

What's "The Usual" you ask? Let's start with high gasoline and diesel prices. Per our local legacy media, Washington State has the second-highest gas prices in America. For example, here are some of my local gas station prices from earlier this week. Some are higher today! This KOMO Story tells us that the statewide average …

Faced with hotels full of "asylum seekers", streets full of trash, huge barracks for adult, fighting-age men from Africa and the Middle East in their rural towns, and imprisonment for noticing and objecting to the foregoing, the people of Ireland are showing their displeasure at their government. Recently, they have been subjected to confiscatory fuel …

Guest Blogger: Iran War commentary from Grandpa Publius on Ricochet

I was impressed by this commentary from a friend over at Ricochet.com Member Feed. If you join Ricochet, you too can partake of the fabulous Member Feed. Highly recommended. Thirty five days ago, regime collapse was conspicuously, and wisely, not articulated as a military objective.   If it happened, great, but if it didn’t, so be it. …

Smart Neighborhood. Public Safety Drones. Real Safety, or the beginnings of Smart City Open-air Prisons?

Yesterday, I noticed a story about a senior apartment complex in south Seattle, that was being renovated into a "Smart Neighborhood". This apartment complex has been around since the 1960s, and it started out as a "low-income" complex. We all know that those "low-income" apartments always suffer from lack of maintenance and that upgrades are …

My readers will already be aware of the new, unconstitutional income tax just passed with glee and celebrations by our commie legislature. Really, there are videos being passed around of the DemocRats in the legislature celebrating its passage. Tech businesses, restaurants, digital advertising agencies, and wealthy investors have already begun the process of leaving Washington …

Giving Aid and Comfort to the Enemy. Treasonous acts within America?

America is a huge country, with thousands of different affinity groups, races, religions, and political opinions. Most of those diverse groups have a megaphone, the Internet, where they can get their viewpoints out there for the public to read, learn, and interact with. Before the Internet, it took "snail mail" newspapers, pamphlets, and revival meetings …

All day, every day now, more and more information comes to light regarding what our "elected" officials are raining down on the law-abiding, tax-paying citizens of Washington State. They are getting us coming and going, literally. Washington State has one of the only Death Taxes in America, and it is the highest of any state. …

Mr. Fuld is an Israeli who has been keeping close track of Israel's victories in the sky over Iran. Here, he has thanks for the IRGC, the elite "guards" of the Islamic "Republic".
