This week, my friend at Journeys With Johnbo challenges us to show photos of historical sites and sights!

*Disgusting, Deranged, Deplorable Democrats

For the party which thinks of itself as the most tolerant, compassionate, loving, open-minded, intelligent folks in America, they sure have strange ways of showing it. They show off their tolerance by issuing death threats to political opponents whose worst offenses consist of holding contrary opinions to theirs. Like this. https://twitter.com/catturd2/status/2045293570475647369?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ Please notice that the …

World Cup Soccer is coming to Seattle. Preparations underway.

Seattle is well-known for its prodigious homeless camps, open-air drug markets, police shortage, and Aurora Avenue prostitution. Seattle is also known these days for its Socialist Mayor, Katie Wilson, who was elected with zero political experience and a history of depending on her parents for support even after marriage and a child. Here are some …

*The People of Ireland have had enough.

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. …

Less-known Signers of the Declaration of Independence: Joseph Hewes of North Carolina, by way of New Jersey and Pennsylvania

For this installment in my 250th-anniversary series, I chose a signer whom I had never heard of. This gentleman had a circuitous life in the Colonies-born in one state and resident of two others. He earned wealth as a merchant, and served his country in the Continental Congress. It's a shame that he didn't live …

*About that rescue of a downed pilot inside Iran. America Wins!

You will already be aware that the US and Israel are fighting a war with Iran, to ensure that they do not get nuclear weapons. Before now, we have basically decapitated their leadership and decimated their war-making capacity. But they still have assets that continue to shoot ballistic missiles (at Israel AND Muslim countries in …

On the Homeless Situation in the Seattle Area

Seattle, a far-left city ruled by far-leftists and socialists, has had a "homeless"problem for decades. Tents and trash line streets downtown, in neighborhoods, and along Seattle's long waterfronts. Seattle is the home of the Homeless-Industrial Complex of "non-profit" organizations like the Low-Income Housing Institute (LIHI) and SHARE-WHEEL. There is Plymouth Housing, which owns and runs …
