Mayor Katie Wilson's credibility has left City Hall, as Seattle Police Assistant Chief Tyrone Davis testified at yesterday's Public Safety Committee Council Meeting that:
> Seattle PD was about to do a press conference at 7:30pm, informing the public that there was no active shooter threat.
> Deputy Mayor Brian Surratt 'repeatedly' gave Asst. Chief Davis the order to wait for Mayor Wilson, even as the Asst. Chief explained they needed to get information out to the public.
> Asst. Chief Davis was pulled away from running the crime scene for meetings with politicians that he called "highly counterproductive."

This new information directly contradicts the Katie Wilson narrative that SPD was to blame for the delay in information getting to a frightened public, and serves as the biggest example yet of why she has no business leading Seattle.

🚨 HOLY SMOKES. Donald Trump at the UN just demanded the IMMEDIATE resignation of globalist International Criminal Court (ICC) members

Then he CALLED OUT the globalists for ignoring the persecution of Christians

I VOTED FOR THIS.

"I mean, Christians are being persecuted all over the world. It's not even believable. I never thought I'd say it, but it's been happening for a long time. So this is persecution of Christians who are the crimes of the world's most repressive regimes. Yet, they want America to open up our borders to gangs and criminals from world's most dangerous places."

"I call on all nations that are members of the ICC to officially resign from this rogue institution immediately."

"We will NEVER allow U.S. service members or anyone else to be investigated or given show trials by an anti-American tribunal with no jurisdiction over us, or an evil group of people."

"It is equally unacceptable that with all the genuine atrocities in the world, the UN's top human rights officials spend their time criticizing the United States for protecting our children from transgender mutilization and transgender insanity and enforcing our immigration laws."

One of his best moments ever.

[WA Senate Republicans @WashingtonSRC]

LOWER GAS PRICES NOW: WA State Senate Republicans are formally requesting that Governor Bob Ferguson immediately call a special session for one clear purpose: Lower gas prices by pausing climate fuel taxes from the Climate Commitment Act (SB 5126, passed in 2021 and enacted in 2023) and the low-carbon fuel standards. These actions would take 55 cents off the price of a gallon of gas.

These sky-high state taxes are hitting Washington families and individuals hard at the pump.

According to AAA, the average gas price in Washington is currently $5.57 a gallon — a full $1.09 higher than the national average of $4.48. Gas taxes went up again on July 1st.

It’s time for state government to lower the cost of fuel, not keep raising it. Families and working people need real, meaningful relief.

🚨#BREAKING: Outrage is erupting after a 22-year-old who runs into BURNING BUILDINGS as a volunteer firefighter was told he isn't qualified to be a paid firefighter...

...because he was HOMESCHOOLED.

Then the city changed the job posting to cover it up.

His name is Andrew Coates. He's 22 years old, in Nebraska.

Right now, today, he runs into burning buildings as a volunteer firefighter for Cedar Bluffs Fire. He is a state-licensed EMT.

He is doing the job. For free.

All he wanted was to get PAID to do it. In his words: "Make a career out of it would be the goal. To get paid to do what you love."

So he applied to the Fremont Fire Department.

And in April, the city rejected him. Why?

Because his high school diploma says he was homeschooled.

That's it. That's the whole disqualification.

Not his EMT license.
Not his fitness.
Not his record.
Not his experience pulling people out of fires ALREADY!!

...how he was educated.

The job posting he applied to said "graduation from high school."

That's all it said.
He graduated high school.
He has a diploma.

And AFTER they rejected him, the city went back and added the word "accredited" to the job description.

His own fire chief, the man who has watched Andrew work, showed up to defend him:

"I feel the city of Fremont is really missing out here, and in my mind, because of his homeschooling, you guys are discriminating against him."

Over THIRTY homeschool families showed up to stand behind this kid.

And the Civil Service Commission? They said it isn't their job to touch city policy.

Homeschoolers are literally a generation of kids who read ABOVE grade level, who work with their HANDS, who volunteer in their communities, who show up for their neighbors.

And this young man is the proof.

At 22, he's a certified EMT and a volunteer firefighter, while plenty of his peers are on a couch.

When your house is on fire at 3 a.m., I promise you will not ask the man dragging your children out where he went to high school.

You will not ask if his diploma was accredited.

You will thank GOD he came.

Andrew isn't even fighting for himself anymore. His words:

"I think now it's turned into we want to make sure that every homeschooler has an equal opportunity."

That's a better man than the policy that rejected him.

Fremont, you have a licensed EMT and an active firefighter begging to serve your city. And you turned him down over paperwork, then rewrote the paperwork to cover it.

Fix this.

Hire him!!!!!!!

[Amy Curtis @RantyAmyCurtis]

This, by the way, is how the Left will ban homeschooling.

They won’t draft a piece of legislation that says “homeschooling is illegal” they will just create a world where you can’t get a job or go to college if you are homeschooled.

They will force parents’ hands.

🚨 HOLY SMOKES. A jaw-dropping investigation founds a NETWORK of Somali daycares in Seattle where bystanders say children NEVER GO INSIDE, despite receiving up to $70K monthly

The Somalis came outside, panicked and RAGED when confronted: "GET OUT OF HERE!"

"Red necks are here!"

"Are you Trump people?!"

@KatieDaviscourt asked one man: Are kids going into the daycare? He said: "THERE'S NO KIDS."

It could be a massive fraudulent RACKET to steal more taxpayer funds to the tune of MILLIONS 🤯

Seattle is deep-blue and has a sizeable Somali population, though not as large as Minneapolis

It's CLEAR that it's time for a surge in Seattle just like we've seen in other cities across America. Too many foreign pirates getting away with robbery

Send police to their doors, investigate their records and find out if they are LYING to receive these huge sums of money

Citizen journalism wins again!

[Future 42 @future42org]

After almost 2 million Washingtonians voted to preserve access to natural gas, the Washington Supreme Court has thrown out Initiative-2066.

In a 6-3 decision Thursday, the court ruled that I-2066 violated the Washington Constitution’s single-subject requirement. The majority concluded that several provisions of the initiative represented distinct subjects and could not be separated from the rest of the measure, requiring the entire initiative to be invalidated.

Washington voters approved I-2066 by 51.7% in November 2024, with 1,941,474 voting yes. The initiative was put on the ballot after more than half a million signatures were submitted to the Secretary of State.

The measure was a response to HB 1589, which was signed into law by former Gov. Jay Inslee in 2024. It allows Puget Sound Energy (PSE) to shut down natural gas service for its customers – effectively making the bill a ban on natural gas. It includes no support for families to make an all-electric transition that could cost tens of thousands of dollars and could lead to energy bill increases of more than $200 each month.

The Building Industry Association of Washington, which sponsored I-2066, said Thursday’s ruling disregards the preference expressed by nearly two million voters and again raises concerns about the affordability and reliability of forcing homes and businesses away from natural gas.

In a statement, Citizen Action Defense Fund (CADF), which was not directly involved in the lawsuit involving the natural gas ban but did file a lawsuit a couple of years ago challenging multi-subjects in a legislative bill, said, “The courts in our state that are applying [the single-subject] constitutional provision are using different standards for measures passed by the people as opposed to those passed by the Legislature. Why does this matter? Because it creates a legally dangerous situation: courts are effectively giving themselves the ability to tip the scales of justice based on political considerations.”

The Washington Hospitality Association raised similar concerns, noting that restaurants and hotels still face the potentially significant cost and practical difficulty of converting commercial kitchens and building systems away from gas.

But the consequences of the ruling may extend well beyond natural gas.

The state Constitution’s single-subject restriction does not apply only to citizen initiatives. The Supreme Court expressly recognized that the legislature is also subject to the same constitutional restraints when it passes laws.

In Thursday’s ruling, the court emphasized that individual provisions must have “rational unity” not only with the legislation’s general subject, but also with one another. The majority also clarified that even broadly written omnibus legislation must satisfy that standard, although comprehensive legislation addressing one overall problem may still qualify.

That creates an important question for the legislature.

BIAW argues that the standard used to strike down I-2066 must now be applied consistently to legislation passed by lawmakers and that the decision puts “many” existing state laws in legal doubt.

In practical terms, potentially dozens of broad laws passed by the Legislature could now be examined for the same kind of single-subject problem, particularly laws combining provisions with substantially different regulatory effects. Whether any particular law would actually be struck down remains an open question, but Thursday’s decision gives future challengers a new Supreme Court precedent to cite.

There are no further appeal options for I-2066.

But the constitutional standard the Supreme Court used to ban natural gas will now apply the next time someone challenges legislation.

[Grover Norquist @GroverNorquist]

In 2032, the new census will move another 10 congressional seats and electoral votes from Blue to Red States.
in 2042 (16 years from now) another 10 congressional seats and electoral votes move from Blue to Red States.
So, whatever happens this November....
In 15 years add twenty congressmen to the Republican side and remove 20 congressmen from the Democrat tally. (ditto with electoral college)
it will be increasingly difficult for Democrats to win the House and the presidency.
Lower taxes, flat and zero income tax states, school choice, home schooling, right to work labor laws and tort reform will drive more and more voters to buttress the Red majority in the House and the Presidential Electoral college.
This has driven the Democrats to their present irrational state.

Here it is:

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud confirms that Trump is cleaning up the mess that Barack Obama, the world’s number one sponsor of terror, created.

He gave Iran $150 billion in cash, and the IRGC “didn’t even build a single street, housing complex, or industrial zone in Iran.”

Instead, Iran used the money to make missiles and drones, finance proxies, and arm terrorist organizations like Hamas, Ansar Allah, and Hezbollah. With these funds, Iran offered safe harbor to al-Qaeda leaders, including one of Osama bin Laden’s sons, who was indoctrinated into jihadism.

⸻

Barack Obama was responsible for the Arab Spring in 2010, which led to the rise of ISIS, the toppling of the Libyan government in 2011, and the emergence of a nuclear-capable Iran. The Obama syndicate, including his chief of staff, John Brennan, a devout Muslim, Hillary Clinton, Valerie Jarrett, Victoria Nuland, Susan Rice, and Samantha Power, did so deliberately in order to keep the region destabilized and use Iran as a buffer to prevent the Gulf states and Israel from amassing too much power.

Now, Iran is attacking the very states Barack Obama stabbed in the back.

Now, President Trump is undoing everything Barack Obama touched, both foreign and domestic.

📝 By the way, Barack Obama diverted $400 million of the $150 billion in cash sent to Iran, funneling it through Dubai to operatives in Italy, including Stephen Serrafini, along with General Claudio Graziano, a board member of the Italian defense company Leonardo Aerospace, and Merrill Lynch in Switzerland, in an operation involving efforts to change U.S. election results—effectively toppling the U.S. government on November 3, 2020.
Source: Maria Strollo Zack, Nations In ACTION,

In other words: Barack Obama has managed to do all of that while spearheading the single greatest seditious conspiracy in U.S. history here at home—and not a single investigation or prosecution has followed.
