Remember when the media reported that a white supremacist deliberately ran into a crowd of Black Liberal Mafia (BLM) supporters in Seattle? Had to be an angry white Trump voter grumping over the attacks on his privilege. Nope. It was a Black man driving a white Jaguar XJL.

Media’s Lies About the “Peaceful” Seattle Autonomous Zone are a Warning to America!
Seattle’s Pinko mayor has finally ordered the police to take back the Capital Hill Oligarchs Playground (CHOP). Despite media reports to the contrary (peaceful protest, rainbows, drum circles, and happiness), the place is a crime-riddled wasteland.
The Democrats Are Accomplices to Chaos
It may be interesting to hear rational Democrats try to explain away the insane demands of their radical counterparts, but we really don’t need clarification. When those radicals call for defunding and abolishing the police, they mean exactly what they say.
Second Night of Shootings in Seattle’s Utopian Autonomous Zone
The Capital Hill Organized Protest Zone (CHOP) had its second shooting incident in as many days Sunday night. At least one person was shot the day after two were shot, one of which died. So, Utopia has had at least three shooting victims in two days, and numerous other petty crimes.
CHAZ is now CHOP and No Cops in CHOP Means Criminals can Do What they Will
The Capital Hill Occupied Protest (CHOP, formerly CHAZ)) have created a population of what one “resident” calls, sitting ducks. Any crime up to but not including “life-threatening” goes unpunished and uninvestigated.
Autonomous Leftists Want to “Round up” All The [Blank] People and Make Them Work For Them
Nothing says “equality” like “Round up all the [Blank] people and put them to work!” But that’s what someone in the totally autonomous (mom, send food!) Capital Hill zone in Seattle said. They want people rounded up for manual labor to support the rest of them. What people?
Welcome to the City of “Antifa, Washington.”
Since taking over parts of a liberal city, communist agitators have begun the process of running the day to day lives of the inhabitants, approximately 500 residential homes now belong to the collective.
Seattle’s Antifa-BLM Autonomous Marxist Paradise Becomes Dependent Needy Train Wreck Overnight
The peaceful protests in Seattle became so “not-peaceful” that City police abandoned a local precinct in fear for their lives. Antifa and BLM proceeded to take over six square city blocks, which they declared an autonomous community. But one day into paradise and things are going about the way you’d expect.
Democrat’s Arbitrary Minimum Wage Laws Are Killing Jobs in a Booming Economy
The economy under Donald Trump is setting records. Record low unemployment for minorities, and (well) just about everyone. Wages up, take-home pay up, disposable income up. State’s like NH have more jobs than people to fill them. And it is a climate where Democrat policies can still kill jobs.
Seattle, Public School, White-Math, Privilege, and Oppression
Seattle is majority white. Sorry, I meant majority white-guilt. Three-quarters of the population is not a minority by the left’s definition. (66% white, 10% Asian.) And because white everything is oppressive, the public-school system has adopted the new (new) [NEW] Social Justice math.
Did Seattle Figure Out How To Remove Feces off the Sidewalks Without Appearing Racist?
It is a long-held maxim of conservative bloggers – Let the left speak, and you will never be lacking for material. Am I right? Just ask Seattle, where, like San Francisco, they have a poop problem. Which resulted in a bigger problem? How to remove the feces without appearing racist.
Amazon Abandons Major Expansion – Moving Thousands of Jobs Out of Seattle
As Seattle continues to swirl and gurgle its way down Karl Marx commode, its biggest employer is making a major move. Amazon, which was planning to occupy a massive new building in the City, adding as many as 5000 more jobs, is moving them out of Seattle.
“Freeattle” is Dying
Our interest in places like New Mexico, Washington State, Los Angeles, San Francisco, or California and New York, even college campuses are cautionary tales. These ‘laboratories’ of liberalism show us what Democrat’s expect and what their policies will do to New Hampshire and even America.
The Left’s “City on a Hill” Is a Turd on a Sidewalk Next to a Dirty Needle
Seattle has banned firearms, raised the minimum wage, and regulated sugary beverages. They banned plastic bags, raised taxes, and attempted to levy new ones in abundance. It is a sanctuary city.
Do New Hampshire Democrats “Hate” The Poor or Are They Just Evil?
I use the word hate in my title in the context in which it would be used by Democrats were Republicans engaged in some advertised priority they had spun as doing damage to some “protected” class of persons.
In this case, the object of the Left’s abuse is The Poor™ (often referred to inaccurately as ‘working families’), who are being herded around yet another progressive false idol. The higher minimum wage or living wage is a golden calf whose worship is sold as the path to better economic outcomes when it, in fact, delivers exactly the opposite.
Seattle City Council Repeals Head Tax
On May 17th we reported the imposition by the Seattle City Council and its mayor of a head tax. A special levy on Employers in the city banking 20 million or more per year, including ubiquitous brands like Amazon and Starbucks.
Both of those corporate giants, among others immediately began funding a repeal referendum for the November ballot.
Opponents had already collected nearly 46,000 signatures from voters in support of a repeal initiative, well more than the 17,000 needed to qualify for the ballot, according to the Downtown Seattle Association, a business group which led the petition drive.
Seattle Proves The Point: To Democrats There’s No Such Thing as Enough Taxation
While there are plenty of reasons to oppose Democrat rule the one that affects the most people, most often, is the obsession with spending other people’s money. To that point, I have often asked ‘how much is enough‘ so that I can answer that ‘there is no enough.’ Democrats cannot tax you enough. There is no end to the ways in which they can spend your money, or how or how much they will take. Left unchecked that is exactly what they do. And they are no longer even shy about it.
Seattle, a hub of growth and opportunity, is the gender-dysphoric Democrat poster-child for the maxim, “there is no enough.”
Seattle Passes ‘Head-Count’ Tax On Job Creators
Back in March Skip reported on a discussion underway in the city that never stops taxing, Seattle. The city council debate over a new tax based on how many people a company employs. At the time the issue was not so much if but how. The “how” has been decided and their latest act of plunder approved.
The result is the so-called head tax on Seattle businesses that gross at least $20 million annually. According to The Seattle Times, 585 businesses in the city will be subject to the tax. Not surprisingly, the tech giant Amazon is expected to pay the most under the tax. The initial proposal was for a $500 tax per employee, which, in Amazon’s case, would have meant an added $20 million in labor costs. Thanks to a veto threat from the mayor, the council reduced its tax grab to $275 per employee.
GrokTALK! – Wages, Death, Energy, & Fungus
We talk about how Seattle small business owners “feel” about that $15/hr minimum wage the progressives had to have, where not to go in New Hampshire if you want the base to vote for you, then its on to death taxes followed by a few minutes on electricity and energy.
