First, in Weather: Today was a stormy day around here. Thunder, lightning, power outages, rain, the whole shebang. With emphasis on the BANG part. Thunderstorms knock out power around Western Washington. 8,000+ lightning strikes ignite wildfire concerns around Washington and Oregon. Ceiling Leak forces gate closure at SEA Airport amid thunderstorms, ground delay. https://twitter.com/tommylikecloud/status/2077819064202973193?s=20 Next, …

First from National News Site, Fox News: Seattle's World Cup makeover vanished fast once the tourists packed up and returned home. Local Press: https://twitter.com/komonews/status/2075996369093816464?s=20 Now, from some local citizen journalists: https://twitter.com/thehoffather/status/2075431111472419226?s=20 https://twitter.com/weheartseattle/status/2075384480064573502?s=20 https://twitter.com/BrandiKruse/status/2075683574549000366?s=20 The answer seems to be: Same old, same old. The cleanup for the World Cup was just that, a temporary cleanup, and …

The World Cup is gone from Seattle. Now what?

Now what? Just back to the way things used to be three months ago, and maybe worse. The people in the Chinatown-International District are taking their anger (at the dumping on their already dirty, crime-filled streets of the homeless criminals and addicts from the SODO area to keep them from disturbing the international tourists) to …

*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 …

The Left is Always Wrong

This is due to more than one factor. The most important factor is that the Left does not recognize the existence of Basic Human Nature, and the corollary that Human Nature Never Changes. The other major factor determining Leftist wrongness is that they operate almost solely on Emotion, and not Reason. Even well-credentialed Leftist economists …

*I wish I didn’t have to keep writing these posts on Washington State, but the depressing news just keeps coming.

Have Dementors taken over my state of Washington? It certainly is depressing, reading news stories of taxpayer money thrown away with both hands; big companies that have been here for decades announcing moves to other states; local restaurants, individual and chains, closing down for good; illegal aliens being treated better than taxpaying citizens; heavily-taxed roads …

*Disgusting, Deranged, Deplorable Democrats

For the party which thinks of itself as the most tolerant, compassionate, loving, open-minded, intelligent folks in America, they sure have strange ways of showing it. They show off their tolerance by issuing death threats to political opponents whose worst offenses consist of holding contrary opinions to theirs. Like this. https://twitter.com/catturd2/status/2045293570475647369?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ Please notice that the …

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 …

Just today, Governor "Sideshow Bob" Ferguson signed HB2266 into law. This new law makes "Permanent Supportive Housing" for homeless drug addicts legal everywhere. In the State. No "zoning it out" allowed. Makes permitting easier, statewide. Local jurisdictions may not refuse permits for this kind of homeless housing. Here is what now awaits towns and cities …
