Read @WAGOP Chairman Rep. @JimWalshLD19's statement on the gang-related mass shooting that claimed three innocent lives at 'Bite of Seattle.'
"Seattle's gang violence problem is getting worse. This is an issue of statewide significance. @MayorofSeattle Katie Wilson appears to lack the critical-thinking skills to understand the scope of the problem. And current @GovBobFerguson is stubbornly unwilling to admit his central role in creating this crisis.
"Last night, there was what appears to have been a gang-related shooting during the Bite of Seattle event at Seattle Center. But the gangsters—true to form—were sloppy and undisciplined in their actions. They shot several innocent bystanders who were there to sample food. Two bystanders were killed and several more injured, including a two-year-old child.
"@WAGOP wishes God’s grace to the loved ones of those who’ve departed this life and a speedy recovery to the wounded.
"Shockingly, Wilson and Ferguson appear to have instructed the @SeattlePD not to brief the media on the details of the gang violence for five hours after it happened. One SPD officer was caught on camera telling reporters that no briefing would take place until 'dignitaries' arrived.
"In the meantime, Wilson's office embarrassed itself by releasing an error-filled written statement that had to be withdrawn and corrected. When, the 'dignitaries' finally showed up on the scene, they parroted poorly written cliches about 'gun violence' that ignored what police officers and reporters already knew.
"Wilson and Ferguson's slow response last night is an embarrassment for everyone in Washington. It's a bad sign that elected public servants in our state consider themselves 'dignitaries,' who keep the people waiting while staffers prepare misleading talking points that the 'dignitaries' then read incompetently."
"Washington has a growing gang violence problem that Wilson and Ferguson's soft-on-crime policies make worse. These ‘dignitaries’ need to stop spinning, acknowledge their multiple failures, and work with common-sense lawmakers to fix what's broken in our state."

With such strict gun laws in Seattle and Washington in general, how did this 15 year old even get a gun?
And from my understanding, isn’t the Seattle Center a gun free zone?
German police are accused of “police brutality” driven by Islamophobia and xenophobia after shooting dead the Muslim terrorist who carried out a deadly jihad ramming attack targeting non-Muslims at Berlin Pride.
According to police, he charged at officers with a sharp object while shouting “Allahu Akbar.”
What is your opinion? Should armed police hesitate to shoot a jihadist because it escalates tensions between the Muslim community and the rest of society?
Tax Madness: Sen. Chris Gildon highlights the fact that many life-long and prominent Democrats are sounding the alarm on out of control tax and spending in state government, including former Governors Locke and Gregoire, and now the CEO of the Seattle Kraken.
The far left majority and Gov. Bob Ferguson passed back-to-back budgets with the largest tax increases in state history (SB 5167 & SB 5998), driving our affordability crisis. The cost of living is substantially higher in WA than most states.
Enough is enough. It's time for policies that lower, not increase, the cost of living.

Just in case you haven’t heard about this yet, Palestinians trapped Israelis’ herding dogs in iron traps.
Israeli hikers found them and set them free.
How evil can they be to hurt innocent animals?
NEW: The person who harassed two Charlie Kirk supporters before celebrating his death at a farmers market in Issaquah, Washington, has been identified as Kelsey Ballin, a school nurse at Eastlake High School.
The school district told me in a statement: "Lake Washington School District (LWSD) is aware of a video circulating on social media involving a district staff member. We have received concerns from community members regarding the statements and conduct shown in the video. The district takes these concerns seriously. While we cannot comment on individual personnel matters, district leadership has initiated a review of the circumstances surrounding this incident and will follow established processes as the review moves forward. It is important to note the views expressed in the video do not reflect the values or positions of Lake Washington School District.
LWSD is committed to providing welcoming, safe and inclusive learning environments for all students, families, staff and community members. We expect all employees to uphold the professional standards and the values of the district and to contribute to a culture of respect, dignity and civil discourse. At the same time, district employees retain rights and protections as private citizens. Balancing these principles is central to how the district approaches situations like this one.
Because this is an ongoing personnel matter, we are unable to provide additional information at this time. We remain committed to our values as an organization for developing students that are prepared as members of a diverse community."
ICE deported FIVE illegal aliens the other day in Michigan at a construction site.
The man recording said “can’t do nothing to me, I’m black.” These ICE protesters are becoming more of a pest every day.
SAVE AMERICA.
STAND WITH ICE.
Oliwia Olejniczak, a 21-year-old mother in Poland, was convicted and fined 3,500 PLN ($1000 USD) for speaking out against mass migration.
Poland, don’t go down this road!
