The difference between Leftists and Conservatives

The Left says to all its various "victim groups" that they deserve a bigger piece of the pie.  Since the pie remains the same size, that pits the various victim groups against each other, fighting over who should get more of the piece of pie.

Has anyone from Money Magazine actually visited King County?

On the KOMO Web site today, October 5, 2022, there is a headline that reads: Money Magazine rates King County third-best place to live in the country.

The Seattle minimum wage rises to $18.69/hour in January. Cui bono?

Cui Bono is a Latin phrase that means "Who benefits"?  Seattle's far-leftist city council believes that, if they raise the minimum wage, then low-income, low-skill people will be able to earn enough at their jobs to live on.  The State of Washington, which is also run by the Seattle Leftists, believes the same thing, so …

The Left really does inhabit an alternate Universe

In the last couple of days, the Left has amply demonstrated that their Universe greatly differs from obvious Reality.  These stories really have me shaking my head in disbelief.  First, here's an excellent article dealing with the Left's alternate Universe. Have you seen any Republicans "running scared" ahead of the upcoming Midterm Elections?  I sure …

We must always remember, September 11, 2001

Most every adult alive on that day remembers where he/she was and what they were doing that sunny Tuesday morning.  I was making breakfast before work, and I had the TV on when the story broke.  I saw one of the towers that looked like it was on fire.  Since it was in New York, …
