It’s my first Cellpic Sunday! Marina After Dark

Hubby and I went out for dinner tonight, at a place near the Everett Marina. On the way in, I noticed that some of the boats near the restaurant had already put up Christmas lights on their masts and around their edges. So I told him that we should stop on the way home and …

On the heels of New York City, Deep Blue Seattle turns even farther left than they are now.

New York City elected a Muslim Communist mayor. In Seattle, perhaps the only office that did NOT go farther left was the mayor, Bruce Harrell, who as of now has a lead over Socialist Katie Wilson. However, we need to take into account the propensity for large-scale cheating in our all-mail-voting state, by the DemocRat …

You know, this is really getting tiresome… Washington and Seattle keep screwing their citizens, inviting federal intervention

The new state motto, pushed by the governor Fenty Fergie, and his AG Nick Brown, seems to be “Standing up to Trump”, regardless of how futile and costly to taxpayers it is.
