This makes me feel sick. These people are fucking evil. “Don’t let Israel steal the date” of Oct 7th? When Palestinian terrorists slaughtered, raped, kidnapped and burnt people alive. Men, women, babies, elderly and Holocaust survivors. And the AUDACITY to use poppies. There is now low they won’t stoop to. H/t @michaeldickson

I got a new iPhone and got hit with a $35 "upgrade" charge from @ATT. $35 for taking the phone out of the box and turning it on. They did absolutely nothing and provided no additional value. Fucking price gouging, ripoff artist pricks. This should be illegal.

We must get rid of the marxist Inslee/Ferguson appointees on the WA Supreme Court. These are the most important races on the November ballot. Make sure you vote!!
It’s time to rebalance our captured Washington State Supreme Court. Next year, the Court we elect now will make the final ruling on the income tax. It’s now or never to elect jurists (not appoint) who will follow the Washington State Constitution, not party bosses.

Sideshow Bob @GovBobFerguson's plan to ban phones in schools has nothing to do with better education. He and Jamie Pedosen dont want your kids recording the perverts and Hamas supporters "teaching" them. Payback for his Teacher's Union buddies. komonews.com/news/local/gove…

Apparently nobody in Ottawa could find a Canadian to pour a double double. Every temporary foreign worker at a Tim Hortons needs a federal approval saying no Canadian was available for the job. Federal data shows 747 new positions approved for Tim Hortons locations in 2024 and 2025 alone. In May, the company promised to hire 10,000 Canadians and pull back from the program. You only promise that if the program was doing the hiring. No Canadian available. For a job pouring coffee.

H-1B visa holders and illegal aliens steal your jobs, and make housing and everything else more expensive. They have destroyed the American Dream for Gen Z. #DeportThemAll
Japan’s housing market is what millennials and zoomers would have here at home if our government didn’t import 100 million rapey brown foreigners.

WA voters have already rejected an income tax in 1934, 1936, 1938, 1942, 1944, 1970, 1973, 1975, 1982, and 2010. This year vote YES to repeal the income tax, disguised as a "millionaires tax."
This is correct. You will have to file 2 tax returns if you live in WA. One federal and one state. This 1 million deduction will easily be adjusted to meet our state's spending habits with our heavily one sided legislature.

They’re trying to import infinity nons into all the orange areas (aka majority White counties). Boomer Republicans on city councils will accept this en masse. The Heartland Visa program must be stopped.
REVEALED: A think tank co-founded by Facebook’s founding president wants an entirely NEW visa category to repopulate struggling American communities with foreign workers. It’s called the HEARTLAND VISA. They’ve already mapped roughly 1,700 potentially eligible counties—home to 58 MILLION Americans. The Economic Innovation Group, co-founded by Sean Parker, wants at least 100,000 visas a year. The pitch is explicit: “In exchange for living in a Heartland Visa community, workers with sufficient earnings will gain permanent residency” American communities become the destination. Green cards become the incentive. The proposal targets places struggling with population decline, including rural communities and former industrial centers. Foreign workers would have to live in a participating area—but could work for an employer located elsewhere. The think tank also proposes replacing labor certification with an earnings test for the green-card pathway. That would remove the usual labor-market test from this proposed route to permanent residency. The idea has already reached Capitol Hill. Republican Senator Todd Young and then-Senator Joe Manchin introduced a version in December 2024. Supporters included AOL co-founder Steve Case, Americans for Prosperity and the Niskanen Center. County officials would decide whether their communities participate. EIG continued lobbying for the proposal in 2026. This is an organized push to turn population decline into a justification for a new immigration program.

This is 2030 America if we lose. Guaranteed. Vote RED like your family’s life depends on it. Because it does.
War-zone-like from France: on Thursday, over 1,000 high schools were affected, 222 were blockaded, 2,000 students were detained, and 305 police officers were injured. On Friday, around 400 schools were closed and—by midday—564 were still facing disruptions, with approximately 600 new detentions. Since the unrest began: 40 principals and 170 students have been injured, and more than 100 high schools have suffered severe damage.

Sad, but true.
One day, Muslims in France will burn down the Louvre, just like they are burning schools and churches with impunity right now. No one in power will stop them.

We have a problem… Average retired couple Social Security benefits: $38,500 a year. Max Household Welfare Program Value: $80,000 a year. Retired Americans who paid taxes their entire lives can get less than a household of illegals. Americans are robbed and abused. So wrong.

This is where Canada is now. John Adair, co-owner and head brewer at Sooke Brewing Company, was terminated after wearing a shirt that said “SHOW ME THE EVIDENCE” on Truth and Reconciliation Day. And apparently asking that question is offensive. Because, Canada. Here’s the problem... The story that detonated across Canada in 2021 was that the remains of 215 children had been discovered at the former Kamloops residential school. They weren’t. And we mostly all know they weren't. No 215 bodies were excavated. No 215 sets of human remains were forensically identified. No DNA confirmations established 215 children buried there. The number came from ground penetrating radar anomalies, and those targets remain unverified by excavation. Five years later, people are still being punished socially and professionally for asking the most basic question imaginable... Where is the evidence for the claim we were originally told was settled fact? That’s how evidence works. A country that is confident in its historical claims shouldn’t need to destroy somebody’s livelihood because his T-shirt asked for proof. Residential schools existed. Children died in them mostly due to tuberculosis. Yep. Abuse and neglect are extensively documented as well. But that does not magically turn radar anomalies into 215 confirmed bodies. Those are two separate claims, and collapsing them together every time someone asks an uncomfortable question is precisely how bad history becomes untouchable dogma. If “SHOW ME THE EVIDENCE” is now enough to get a man fired, maybe the problem isn’t the shirt. Maybe it’s how terrified we’ve become of the question.
