Herewith, some horrid examples showing that the government that is supposed to be Of the People, By the People, and For the People, is nothing but Of, By, And For Moneyed Donors. Read these stories and weep. Really, these stories will bring you to tears, and hopefully motivate you to fight back. https://twitter.com/RastaGuerilla/status/1841488252861133311 This one, …

Normally we go to Bellevue on the East Side of Lake Washington to watch the fireworks at the Bellevue Downtown Park. This year, Hubby went to play squash during the day, so we decided it was too far, so instead we went down to the Everett waterfront park to watch the fireworks by the Marina. …
