*Hello, Citizens of Washington State. You can kiss your natural gas heating and appliances goodbye. Court victory for climate alarmists.

Today, the Leftist-biased Washington State Supreme Court did what it was expected to do, and threw out a Citizen Initiative challenging a state law outlawing the use of natural gas for any reason, including home heating and appliances. Initiative 2066 passed handily in 2024, and the usual suspects immediately challenged it, stating that the People …

Seattle today.

There were 3 shootings this weekend in Seattle. 3 are dead, 3 are wounded, and no one has been arrested. Instead of dealing with that, Seattle Socialist Mayor Katie joined Embassy Suites workers on the picket line. Last time she joined striking workers, Starbucks moved. https://twitter.com/choeshow/status/2097104228141658266?s=20 Then, again... Another fatal shooting in Seattle last night, …

The Seattle Fishwrap (AKA Times) does a front-page article on Puget Sound Energy’s electricity rates exploding. I critique that article.

On Sunday, the Seattle Times did a long article describing how local residents are suffering from the high, and going higher, electricity rates imposed on them by their mandated supplier, Puget Sound Energy. Below, I provide quotes from the article, and my comments after each quote. The title of the article is "PSE customers hit …

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 Rubicon has been crossed. The Tyrant of Washington signed the “Millionaires Tax”, AKA the Income Tax. Here are some reactions.

The first reaction is my own. The DemocRats in the Washington Legislature have just told the citizens of the state that they don't care what we think, they don't care what we do, and they will continue to rain down taxes and regulations upon us, regardless. They have seen what percentage of citizens are violently …

*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 my cockeyed, corrupt world of the State of Washington

My state keeps making the national news, and we WA-dwellers are not proud of the stories that are coming out about conditions here. We are ruled by a near-super-majority of DemocRats who value illegal aliens over law-abiding citizens. They pass laws which privilege leftist schools and teachers over parents, and keep significant information about bodily …

Guest Author: Steve Gordon, Seattle business owner, on the Seattle Fishwrap Er… Seattle Times

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 …

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 …
