My, My, My, Aren’t we Prescient!

It seems that just yesterday, I wrote a post right here about the poor conditions in Washington's forests making them primed for wildfires. This was based on a trip we took on Tuesday to Mount Rainier National Park. We drove up to Sunrise, and I commented that the Mountain itself was shrouded in wildfire smoke …

News (mostly bad) from the beautiful Pacific Northwest

Ceiling Leak forces gate closure at SEA Airport amid thunderstorms, ground delay. https://twitter.com/tommylikecloud/status/2077819064202973193?s=20 Next, …

*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 …

*No Shame: The descent of modern society into Depravity

https://twitter.com/theonlydsc/status/2033735513153122444?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ When did it start? What was the first inkling that what was previously forbidden behavior, was now going to become not only accepted, but celebrated. What happened that now, if you don't celebrate vulgar, depraved behavior, you are mocked and ridiculed? My guess is this started back in the 1950s and 1960s, with the …

*Parents of Public School Students: Do you know what their teachers are doing with, and to them?

Just in the past few weeks, it has come to the attention of the American People that, in many cities across the country, Teachers are taking entire classes of students out of school to demonstrate against the Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers who are enforcing Federal Law by removing Illegal Alien Criminals from our midst. …

*Do they know that they are causing the breakdown of Civilization? Do they care? The Left ruins everything it touches.

Local stories are causing consternation among numerous citizens and Citizen Journalists. It seems our State and Local politicians are doing what they always do, enacting policies that represent "Compassion" to them, but have destructive effects on the citizens they purport to "represent." Their cronies in the Homeless-Industrial Complex are making money hand over fist, mostly …

Welcome to Chinatown-International District Seattle. Epicenter of Crime and Drugs.

As usual, the Downtown Seattle Association (business group) is urging Seattle residents to go downtown for festivities. Funny how they ignore the homeless tents, filth, pro-Palestine demonstrations (hijacked the tree-lighting ceremony last year), and crime that have plagued downtown since 2020. https://twitter.com/downtownseattle/status/1991918752091545883?s=20 KOMO did post photos from last night's tree lighting. See them HERE. I …

*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 …
