This week was the primary election, and the office of Mayor of Seattle is in play, among other interesting electoral contests. Now, I don't live in Seattle, so I have no stake in who their (far or farther Left) mayor is, and the "voters" rarely fail to voluntarily mess up their city. This election did …

This X post is somewhat self-explanatory. None of the commenters disagreed with the author. https://twitter.com/thekentacorn/status/1952056077102743884?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ Notice the 970 likes. Fifteen comments. All favorable. Am I the only one who thinks that this statement is just plain wrong? The author is human too, and runs a project preserving oak woodlands in Britain. I follow him. If …

I am copying Steve's post in its entirety for my readers, especially those who live in the Seattle area. Every word is true. I cancelled my subscription over 10 years ago, and the local fish wrap has only gotten worse in its communism. Way TLDR on legacy media. This is the next plank in the …

Sigh…. Just when you thought it couldn’t get any crazier, opposition to the Navy’s precision flying team, the Blue Angels, breaks out in Seattle. The story gets covered in both the local and national media. There are actually two stories. The first one is the sob story of the woman who is suing the Navy …

This article appears on the Web Site HotAir.com. Its subject is the fact that car-shipping companies are increasingly avoiding ocean shipping of electric vehicles. I have written about this multiple times in the past, emphasizing that electric vehicles, with immense Lithium-ion batteries, are extreme fire hazards.
