May 24, 2026 Steve MacDonald

I’m not sure we can call this FAFO. It’s more like discovering that the inseparable thing you have loved and promoted would have absolutely no problem “killing” you. And there’s really no excuse.

If you’ve ever worked in an office environment, almost anywhere, actually, some people can’t keep their politics to themselves.

Constitutional Takings From Sea to Not so Shining Seattle

October 30, 2020 Steve MacDonald

When Seattle aided and abetted the autonomous zone (CHOP), depriving people of the means and or enjoyment of their property, was that unconstitutional taking? That is the question, and a judge just allowed the lawsuit meant to answer it, to go to trial.

Democrat Policy Implementation … Remember CHAZ?

Socialist Neighborhood or a Capitalist Neighborhood

October 8, 2020

Do you want to live in a socialist neighborhood or a capitalist neighborhood? Our motto is E Pluribus Unum, out of many one. We’re supposed to be the United States of America.

Want BLM Antifa and Anarchists Running Your Country?

August 26, 2020 Steve MacDonald

Want BLM, Antifa and Anarchists running your town, city, country? These are some of the worst people alive.

The question is: Why?

Chief Carmen Best was not the best warrior for the people of Seattle. She let Antifa thugs run rampant, complaining that if they wanted her to do more, she needed a bigger budget. A few months later, Antifa and BLM and lots of street criminals went-a-rioting and cop bashing, more or less with Seattle’s blessing.
