WASHINGTON STATE VOTERS! PLEASE PAY ATTENTION! PRIMARY ELECTION APPROACHING!

And yes, I do mean to shout. The Primary and General elections in the Democrat-Ruled State of Washington are the most significant for the survival of our state, and its ability to continue as a "going concern." We have already seen the departure or announcements of departure of large companies that in the past, made …

Happy Birthday, America! The Greatest Nation ever founded by Men, in the entire recorded history of the world, is 250 years old today.

I am always grateful for having been born in the United States of America, the third generation of my Jewish family to be born in America.

Leavenworth-the Rest of the Story

First, some unusual vehicles we spotted this year. The first one was parked in front of our hotel, and is owned by them. We got a big laugh at the comment painted on the passenger side rear panel. It's an old Mercedes vehicle, last licensed in 2023. Since then, the State has hugely increased the …

A few World Cup fans have reminded me how beautiful the Pacific Northwest is.

There are numerous posts on X this week, from soccer fans visiting Seattle for the first time. They all rave about Seattle’s natural beauty and the sunny mild weather.

The Difference Between the Seattle Public Schools and RushBabe49…

WE DO NOT CELEBRATE PERVERSION HERE. It seems that Seattle Public Schools celebrates Perversion and Depravity rather than Memorial Day. https://twitter.com/thehoffather/status/2058926067965210931?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ Encouraged by OSPI The Superintendent of Public Indoctrination supports the homosexual agenda, and forces it on innocent children.

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 …

Selling the Income Tax (AKA Millionaires Tax) to the Public. How they are doing it, and why NOT to fall for it.

Readers will know very well that the Far-Left DemocRat Legislature of Washington State finally, after decades of trying, passed what they called the "Millionaires Tax" into law this year.

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.
