This is my dad. WWII infantryman in the 31st Division โ stationed in the Philippines and New Guinea. He was wounded in the chest and spent 32 days in hospital. He also lost all hearing in his left ear and contracted Yellow Fever and Malaria during his time overseas. Heโs still my number one hero.
To all our Veterans, past and present, thank you for your service and sacrifice. ๐ฅฐ
I am going to keep repeating this until people understand this.
Karen Bass was not only a Castro operative and Communist, but she got elevated to Vice Chair of National Endowment for Democracy, which is the center of soft power operations in the US government. She is not a "DEI mayor." She is extremely powerful at the global stage.
She was actively involved in shaping foreign policy with the Obama administration, especially Africa. Her Ghana visit during the LA wildfires wasn't a vacation, it was part of a Biden delegate to greet Ghana's new President.
She was considered HUD Secretary for the Biden administration. Instead, she nominated the person who would become the actual HHS Secretary - California Attorney General Xavier Becerra.
Now, let me ask you. If a literal Castro operative gets elevated to this stage, what does this imply about the rest of the United States government?
@stevemur is one of my favorite follows. He always raises important points, backed with compelling data. His posts are well thought out and always interesting - not just for clicks. Sometimes I disagree, sometimes he changes my mind, and that is exactly as it should be.

I'm Steve, and I write about local Seattle politics, progressivism v. liberalism, tech, and AI. I try to bring data and charts to my argument when appropriate. I think good people can and do disagree on controversial issues. If you've enjoyed some of the threads I've written, I'd appreciate a follow.
@DefiantLs Whether youโre for or against abortionโฆ How is it not the job of the EPA to investigate if a pharmaceutical medication is finding its way into our water sources? Especially, a medication that could affect fertility!! Sen Murray is evil personified.
Democracy is literally dying in America unless Democrats can draw congressional districts based on race, count illegal aliens in the census, and end requirements to show an ID to vote.
