*The second most-publicized Mayor in America, for numerous reasons. All of them detrimental to the well-being of Seattle.

Since avowed Socialist Katie Wilson, a 43-year-old woman who had never held a productive full-time job before, still receiving financial help from her Leftist parents in another state and married to a man who refuses to work or take care of their child; was elected Mayor of Seattle, all the news from the city has …

Let’s check in with the City of Seattle/King County and see what has been going on there.

Given that Katie Wilson is still the mayor, it's hard to imagine that very much good has been happening in Seattle. There has been little to no progress on the homeless situation, as can be expected. In the run-up to the FIFA World Cup matches in June, the Seattle city government has actually been moving …

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 …

*How NOT to solve the “homelessness crisis”.

The Seattle area, where I have lived for most of my 76 years, has a large and growing homeless population. People actually come here from all over the country, to take advantage of all the consideration and services lavished on the homeless. Nearly everywhere around this area, you can see homeless tents on sidewalks, in …

*Oregon’s Governor describes Portland as “Beautiful, vibrant, and successful”

Deterioration of Portland continues as Trump takes control of National Guard to stop assaults of ICE officers at detention center.

*An interesting Social Media thread. Cat people leave X

My readers will know that I am an avid X/Twitter denizen (joined in 2022, have over 8700 followers). The past week has seen dramatic upheavals over there, following the assassination of conservative leading light Charlie Kirk. Both sides of the political spectrum have published their reactions to that brutal murder; the Left is celebrating, and …

The Decline of Seattle is approaching, at an accelerated pace.

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 …

Once again, time for a dispatch from the Western Washington Dystopia

As is becoming normal, the news lately is full of tales of filth, trash, murder, miscarriages of justice, and censorship. First up, the new "Hate Crime Snitch Line" is now up and running. Citizens can use it to report "bias incidents" about their neighbors and just random citizens they encounter. The all-seeing, all-knowing State will …

Welcome to the State of Taxington

With a DemocRat super-majority in the state legislature, and every state agency staffed by far-left radicals, the citizens had a pretty good idea what was in store for them. That has been amply confirmed this week. Here is what went down in Olympia, with commentary. https://twitter.com/letsgowa/status/1924895940869329257?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ Home school your kids https://twitter.com/washingtonsrc/status/1924827450762035450?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ https://twitter.com/future42org/status/1924925596645392882?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ Companies pay into …
