Our congresswoman (Perez) complains about Iran.

 

To which, I responded thus:

Here's the reality; one you, never having bothered to serve in the military, know nothing about:

We are well aware of the risks we take when we hand over a blank check to Pay To The Order of the people of the United States with, if necessary, our lives.

Those of us who have worn, or are wearing the uniform of the US Military understand going in that we are putting our lives at risk in ways that the non-serving simply cannot get.

No one put a gun to our heads to serve. Regardless of what we do when we're in, we don't come out the same. Most of us suffer some form of injury or wound, mental or physical, that changes us forever.

But we're aware of that from the get-go.

Here's the bulletin you clearly do not understand: We are more than willing to bear the cost that concerns you so much. Like the Marines Iran slaughtered in Beirut 40 years ago, murdered by an Iranian bomber IED. bore it.

Like the thousands killed/wounded in Iraq/Afghanistan bore it from the Iranian weapons and explosives they supplied to insurgents.

The costs of allowing Iran to restore their nuclear program... the costs of sitting back and watching them murder tens of thousands while you leftist women sat on your hands as they killed and disfigured women for refusing to wear that omnipresent mark of oppression none of you care about... those tablecloths on their heads... a cost you never lost sleep over... a cost ignored by the paid protestor leftist scum YOU support as THEY don't protest the murders of those women, but instead, because of their constant hared of all things Trump, actually SUPPORT that variety of oppression that you would have us turn a blind eye towards...

There are some things worth fighting for. No matter how much you complain while others actually go out and BEAR the REAL costs of doing what YOU stay home and whine about for political posturing... this is one of them.

Were I still in, or capable of being in, I'd cheerfully answer the call of my country to go put an end to that cesspool of the islamic cult.

Unfortunately, I can't. I'm totally disabled from the service I did provide, including 8 years in Combat Arms. Either way, 70-year-olds just don't hold up all that well in combat situations.

But you won't. Those that DID, VOLUNTEERED to risk their lives and futures for governmental policies. Just like the 13 Biden allowed to be slaughtered at the Kabul airport.

ALL leftists want Trump... and therefore, this country... to fail. And they don't give a damn how many bodies they have to step on to see that happen.

The men and women in the US Military made a choice. and this is them... living and sometimes dying... for that.

The democrat lie of a state income tax: Saying it's a "millionaires tax" was like the Germans claiming Auschwitz was a "work camp."

The comparison is clear. "Arbeit macht Frei" is a lie here in the Washington Soviet as well
Anyone who so much as drives past the state Capitol in Olympia knows the left has issues.

Their main problem?

They lie. A lot.

Any sentient being is aware of the reality of leftist politics in 2026. Lies, exaggerations, violence, hatred, fringe-left communist policies and insane tax increases to pay for asinine programs and projects that are lie stacked on lie (The I-5 loot rail project, billions waiting to be wasted on a light rail scam that the people of Clark County have REPEATEDLY made clear we do not want, do not need and cannot afford, as just one example) are the order of the day.

The leftist wet-dream for the Washington Soviet has always been a state income tax (which has really worked SOOO well in the train wreck of a state called "Oregon") to facilitate income redistribution to buy votes from their base to remain in power through soviet-style politics. Ramming their latest extortion down our throats with no concern for the repeatedly (TEN TIME) rejection of public opposition in the past and overwhelming opposition today..

It is the later-day implementation of Soviet style "democratic centralism," the communist model writ large.

It was easy to conclude that the underlying plan was what's called "the camel's nose under the tent-flap" approach to politics where the so-called "millionaire tax" scam was merely to ease what they knew would be overwhelming opposition. Until now, however, there was no proof and beyond the usual democrat claims of conspiracy theory, scant attention paid to such claims.

After all, they hold a majority in the Soviet that makes them dictatorial in nature.

In short, they presumed the people of this state are morons (and it's difficult to argue that, considering the lying scum the leftist sheep insist on electing in this state) and have acted accordingly concerning this and other legislation they've lied about with a perfectly straight face.

Senate democrat Majority Leader, Jaime Pedersen (best known for his declaration that kids can/should become sexually active WITHOUT PARENTAL INTERFERENCE:

Pedersen’s full response: “When you’re talking about a young person’s health care, it’s a lot more complicated, right? Young women, if they’re old enough to get pregnant, they’re old enough to make their own decisions about what happens with their bodies, and parents do not have the right to change that or make a different decision or be notified in advance.”

(The kinda increasingly islamacist-type thinking where adult men routinely marry and impregnate prepubescent children in the guise of their religion) the moment they become capable of bearing children, let the cat out of the bag with this short email, sourced from Clark County Today:

It lays out the truth of the matter, a truth any knowledgeable observer knew intuitively but could not prove... until this moment.

The email is lie stacked upon lie.

There would be no reduction in taxes anywhere.

And even if there were, such a reduction would have the life span of a gnat in duration. (Which is one week. I looked it up)

The income tax isn't about fairness. It isn't about the will of the people. And, as this email from the Senate leader proves, it isn't about millionaires.

If this passes, ALL of us will feel the pain of yet another testicle revenue squeezing moment, all done without asking (Not surprising, given the ten times voters in this state have rejected this extortion in the past) for the singular purpose of extorting MORE money for MORE programs for another massive  expansion of an already out of control government.

In short, the fringe-left scum running the government of this state have proven, ONCE AGAIN, that they don't care what the people want, think or believe.

And they'll be reelected this November.

Because as Obamacare architect, MIT professor Jonathan Gruber once said: voters are stupid.

“Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage,” Gruber said. “And basically, call it the stupidity of the American voter or whatever, but basically that was really, really critical for the thing to pass.”

Just like the state's latest effort at imposing slavery.
And far too many Washington State voters provide proof of it every November in election years.

Reviewing the bidding on the SOTU speech

Reviewing the bidding on the SOTU speech, it was stunning how easily the President manipulated Congressional fringe-leftists into walking in to each of the many fans he held up.

Time after time, they were given the opportunity to show at least some pride in what is alleged to be their country.

And time after time, they displayed their brand of hate-filled indifference that is the hallmark of the left in this county today.

Hatred permeates the left at every level. Their disgraceful performance in the SOTU may well cost them the midterms. The themes were laid out, and in everything from a Harris-like moment (we all remember her disastrous inability to separate herself in any way from the disaster of the Biden-Harris administration in response to the "is there anything you would do differently" question) where the hate-filled leftists sat on the hands time after time, from the "protect Americans over protecting illegals" to their insistence on failing to stand up for the men's US Hockey Team to their failure to stand up for the two warriors presented with their Medals of Honor, including one warrior who will be dealing with his Audie Murphy type wounds for the rest of his life, a man who reached the pinnacle of the Warrant Officer Kingdom of Unicorns... the rank of Chief Warrant Officer FIVE; one of the top 3-4% of the entire warrant officer corps in the Army… and everything in between.
Then of course, the left's Bobbsey Twin terrorist-supporting thugs, terrorist anti-American haters Omar and Tlaib, SHOWED their hatred by attempting (and failing) to disrupt the proceeding, the video of their hatred soon to become several GOP campaign commercials... displaying their hatred and disrespect as the face of the left in the upcoming midterm elections...

The face of the democratic party

The SOTU speech is likely to become the Harris-like faux pa of the upcoming midterms, the moment where the left snatched defeat out of the jaws of victory, something Republicans typically and far too often accomplish.
It's clear they've learned nothing from their general election debacle of November '24. Still on the wrong end of the 80/20 equations that cost them so much last time around.
Still supporting the gender mutilation of children. Still unable to define what a woman is. Still pushing to treat fake women as if they're the real thing, disrespecting women's spaces and privacy. Still married to their illegal alien voting plans or refusing to require proof of citizenship to vote. Still advocating violence and hatred for ICE enforcing federal law; the exact, same thing that Obama did without their comment. Still acting like their horrific inflation was not their doing. Still doing all they can to increase every tax and fee available, HAMMERING the middle class and damaging the poor.
And they're not just doing it federally, they're doing it at the state and local levels.
Here in Washington, for example, they're ramming a REPEATEDLY rejected at the polls (10 times) state income tax down our throats, where this time, they're not even bothering to ask us, because they believe their buddies on the Socialist State Supreme Court will allow their extra-constitutional garbage to stand.
These are the tenets of the left. These are the people turning cities into rat-infested shitholes. Portland, Seattle, LA, NYC; failing to even begin to impact the homelessness problem that is the face of leftist-controlled cities around the country. Wasting billions on the homeless industry and having nothing to show for it, excepting a massive INCREASE in homelessness... because personal accountability is not in their lexicon any more than honest elections.
Their entire platform is two words: "Hate Trump." They have nothing to campaign ON. The scum in Congress, with, oddly enough, Senate GOP support, are even ignoring the massive support of the SAVE Act, the election reform bill that would destroy leftist plans to depending on illegals/foreigners for reapportionment/electoral college manipulation... and act that even 70% of the democrat rank and file support.
The face of the democrats is hatred and violence generally, mixed with a heaping helping of hatred for their country and their thirst for power.
And how will they respond?
Epstein.
They've got no evidence, but this is a pattern they've used before, when they knowing lied about non-existent Russian Collusion. You remember, that scam where fringe-left nutjob Adam Schiff claimed he, personally, had the evidence, evidence he never produced because, well, it didn't exist?
Expect the same play from the left on Epstein. The irony, of course, being that the leftists had FOUR YEARS to produce the same files they're wining about now... and didn't.
That won't stop these political vermin. They'll lie at all levels to get what they want.
Just like they are now.

Typical AOC moment.

 

How bad are leftist controlled cities?

Bad enough that CNN's Fareed Zakaria indicted democrats as his snap shot/indictment of the left shows Washington State OUR future as every allegation he makes against fringe-left-controlled cities also represents an indictment against fringe-left controlled states.

As leftist scum in Olympia continue taxing us into oblivion with their progressive train wreck economics, the fiscal insanity of the left will damage/destroy every corner of our state.

And they don't care, because they'll do it with a smile, all in the name of their phantom "equity."
