Perhaps when Gov. Menopause finishes his week-long photo op on this urgent public policy issue, he'll agree to my challenge that he join me in a series of monthly single-topic, Lincoln-Douglas style debates on these issues:
--what caused the death of Aiden Bevins
--his unconstitutional state income tax scheme
--the multi-billion-dollar raid on the LEOFF1 pension
--the weak condition of WA's "rainy day" fund
--WA's falling K-12 school performance metrics
--incompetent management at WA DCYF
--incompetent management at WA DNR
--WA courts' injunction against his anti-sheriff bill
--capital flight out of WA
--state government waste
@glennbeck The Bible repeats “as one” all the time. Christians need to be like minded and stick together. Why would the anti christ come out of America? The bible was written from the Middle East , revelations takes place in the Middle East. The anti Christ will be from the Middle East .
Washington’s millionaire’s tax will reach the state Supreme Court.
When it does, nine justices will decide whether it stands.
Two of them were appointed by the governor who signed it. One of them gave money to the other’s campaign the day after he signed it.
We’ve documented the contribution network. Now the question: what happens next? 🧵
Less than two days after the City of Seattle removed the citizen installed planters meant to keep the prostitution related pimp war out of their neighborhoods...
Another gun battle happened.
Even more insulting to the people who live there; Seattle PD was present, reportedly chasing away prostitutes, pimps, and johns without arresting anyone.
The result was predictable as those chased away simply "resumed 20 minutes later," with gunshots again following.
At this rate, it is only a matter of time before someone is killed in their own home by a bullet.

Hey WA,
I need your help.
I am asking @GovBobFerguson to call a special session to suspend the CCA to immedietly lower gas prices and utilities.
If you want Bob to suspend the CCA to help working families and lower gasoline and electricity costs then share this post and like it.
Others in the legislator are starting to call for it.
Let's see if Bob actually cares about working class people in Washington.
#waspecialsession2026
@nicksortor@IngrahamAngle Those people are being used. The protest is paid for, all the supplies are paid for but now that people are in jail do you think the organizers/ people who funded it are going to help the people in jail with any fees related to the protest. NO
You are being used.
Monday morning reading.
The current governor picks a fight on social media and learns the hard way what "ratio" means.
Excerpt:
What makes the exchange sting for Ferguson is that he started it.
Walsh has not announced anything. [He] said he is actively talking to people about a 2028 bid and wants to field a full conservative slate for statewide office. That was enough to draw a taunt from the governor....
A governor who calls someone else a coward had just been handed a clean, public way to prove otherwise and the early read is that he will pass. As of this writing, Ferguson has not publicly accepted the challenge. For a politician who opened by questioning another man's guts, the silence is the cowardly answer.

When I was Muslim, I used to ask Christians:
“If Jesus was really God, why did He eat, sleep, and bleed like us?”
And honestly, I used to ask it with pride like it was some unbeatable argument.
But later I realized something:
That question was not exposing Christianity.
It was exposing my misunderstanding of what kind of God Jesus claimed to be.
Because the real question is not:
“Why would God become weak?”
The real question is:
“What kind of God would willingly step into human suffering at all?”
Islam taught me about a God who was distant and untouchable.
But Christianity introduced me to a God who stepped into hunger, exhaustion, grief, pain, betrayal, blood, and suffering with us.
And suddenly His humanity stopped feeling like weakness to me.
It became proof of love.
If Jesus ate, it means He came close enough to experience hunger beside us.
If He slept, it means He embraced the exhaustion we carry.
If He bled, it means He did not stand above suffering watching us from a distance.
He entered it Himself.
Philippians 2 says Christ emptied Himself and took on flesh.
Not because He stopped being God, but because He wanted humanity to finally see what God is actually like.
And it turns out God is willing to suffer for the people He loves.
That changed everything for me.
Because every other religion demanded sacrifice from humanity.
Jesus became the sacrifice Himself.
And no prophet in history ever claimed that.
This lake along Highway 12 near White Pass is a major reservoir. It's as full as I've ever seen it.
Point for Cliff Mass and other actual scientists. Point against climate hysterics and grifters screeching "drought drought drought."
The Desperate Cry for Holy Fire
The modern church is starving in the midst of a banquet. We possess the theology of the Book of Acts, yet we lack the manifestation of its power. We have traded the consuming fire of the Holy Spirit for the ice of religious tradition and the comfort of human centered programs. Revival is not a series of meetings; it is the absolute, terrifying, and glorious invasion of the presence of God into a dead and dying culture.
To pursue revival is to pursue the standard set by the Apostles. It was a standard of total surrender. They did not play games with the Holy Spirit. When the Spirit moved, there was no room for hypocrisy, for the fear of the Lord was the bedrock of their community. We speak of wanting a move of God, yet we recoil when He demands the death of our pride, our comfort, and our carefully constructed reputations.
The Book of Acts was not a polite gathering; it was a series of holy riots. It was the result of men and women who were so saturated with the presence of God that they became walking conduits of His power. They did not just talk about the Kingdom; they demonstrated it. They understood that the Holy Spirit is the liquid fire of heaven, and when He is poured out, He makes the believer contagious.
We have lost the fear of the Lord. We treat the Holy Spirit as a commodity to be managed rather than a Person to be obeyed. We seek the power of the Spirit to make our lives easier, while the Spirit seeks to make our lives holy. Holiness is not a suggestion; it is the atmosphere in which the Spirit dwells.
True revival requires a return to the cross. We cannot have the outpouring of the Spirit without the surrender of the self. The Spirit comes to glorify Jesus, not to build our ministries or inflate our egos. When we truly encounter the holiness of God, we do not walk away feeling comfortable; we walk away shattered, repenting of our sloppiness, our compromise, and our lukewarm devotion.
The Holy Spirit is the oil of heaven. He is residual; He leaves a mark that cannot be washed away by the world. He is the wind that drives us into the harvest, and the fire that burns away our dross. There are no toxic levels of the Holy Spirit. You cannot overdose on the presence of the Almighty.
We must stop striving. We must stop trying to manufacture the move of God with music, lights, and clever rhetoric. We must return to the place of desperation. We must reach out with the faith of a child and grasp the invisible reality of the Kingdom of Heaven. It is within reach. It is available to every believer who is willing to lay down their own agenda and say, "Holy Spirit, take the wheel."
The hour is late. The world is jaded, skeptical, and dying for a lack of genuine, supernatural power. They do not need more religious talk; they need to see the fire of God burning in our eyes and flowing from our hands.
Stop playing with the fire. Stop flirting with the world. Fall on your face before the Father, ask for the baptism of fire, and refuse to leave until you are saturated. The promise is for you. The power is for you. The work of the Kingdom is for you. Lay down your pride, pick up your cross, and let the river of the Holy Spirit flow until the world can no longer ignore the reality of the Risen Christ.

BREAKING: Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson ordered the Seattle Police Officer’s Guild to DELETE this post criticizing her, per KOMO News.
.@MayorofSeattle really doesn’t want you to see this post! Would be a shame if it went viral!
@GovBobFerguson How does it feel to be used Bob? The Muslims will get along, and say everything you want to hear and then one day they will be running Washington State with shariah law. You don’t honor their religion because it’s not a religion it’s a cult. They will kill for it.
There is a scene in Gladiator that I cannot get out of my head.
Maximus looks at a group of strangers who are about to be slaughtered in the arena and he says, "Whatever comes through those gates, we have a better chance of survival if we work together."
Then he commands them to lock their shields together into a Roman tortoise formation.
The chariots come charging in. Full speed. And he shouts, "Hold! Hold!"
Right before impact he says two words: "As one."
And they respond: "As one."
The attack is repelled. Then Maximus shifts strategy on the fly. They take out the drivers, they turn the battle, and suddenly the crowd is chanting his name.
That scene hits so hard because there is a spiritual principle buried inside it.
In the last days, whatever comes through the gates against us, we have a better chance if we move as one. Not as denominations. Not as tribes. Not as factions debating each other on the internet. As one.
When believers lock their shields of faith together in genuine unity, God releases the strategy needed to overcome the attack. You cannot get that strategy alone. It comes when you are in formation.
The enemy knows this. That is why division is his first weapon every single time.
The chariots are already at the gate. The question is whether the Church will be in formation when they arrive.
Hold. Hold. As one.
Share this with someone who needs to hear it. And comment: What is the biggest thing dividing the Body of Christ right now?
