When I asked my 46th District legislators about the lawsuit from the former female prisoner forced to share a cell with a 6’4” male who sexually assaulted her, their response was … interesting. What do you think?

@data_republican He is risen indeed. Hallelujah! Happy Easter!

HE IS RISEN! (you finish it) Happy Easter to everyone, even the leftists!

This is one of the better written arguments against @GovBobFerguson income tax. Bravo @VietQNguyen "I understand the argument that Washington’s tax system is regressive, but the path to tax reform runs through the Constitution — not around it. Washington voters have been asked at least 10 times whether they want an income tax. They’ve said no every time. The response should not be to pass one anyway and block a public vote." seattletimes.com/opinion/im-not…

If you’re a West Coast liberal and have spent more time protesting “Kings” than demanding your elected leaders deal with the human suffering on your own streets, then you are most certainly the problem.

Reason #1,057 I’m so glad Kamala Harris is not the president: as CA Attorney General she severely persecuted David Daleiden and his team because they had exposed Planned Parenthood’s horrible practices of selling baby body parts.

David Daleiden exposed Planned Parenthood’s sale of baby body parts -- and Kamala Harris launched an 11-year political persecution against him for it. Now his final charge has been DISMISSED! You are a hero, @daviddaleiden. Thank you for your courage standing up for the unborn and justice through YEARS of lawfare.

@TCSWashington It's not "transgenders" in girls' sports that they object to - it's males. If females consider themselves transgender they can still perform in female sports, unless they have taken disqualifying drugs.

“We’re not going to back down.” Two Washington students say they won’t stop speaking out about transgenders in girls' sports. They say their fight isn’t just personal it’s about what they believe is right. Watch ⬇️

Planned Parenthood admitted what David exposed. Baby parts were harvested. Baby parts were sold. All for personal profit. But under direction of California AG Kamala Harris, the state spent 9 years viciously prosecuting this man for revealing truth. Gross abuse. Glad he won.

Food for thought. Trump, Hormuz and the End of the Free Ride For half a century, Western strategists have known that the Strait of Hormuz is the acute point where energy, sea power and political will intersect. That knowledge is not in dispute. What is new in this war with Iran is that the United States, under Donald Trump, has chosen not to rush to “solve” the problem. In Hegelian terms, he is refusing an easy synthesis in order to force the underlying contradiction to the surface. The old thesis was simple: the US guarantees open sea lanes in the Gulf, and everyone else structures their economies and politics around that free insurance. Europe and the UK embraced ambitious green policies, ran down hard‑power capabilities and lectured Washington on multilateral virtue, secure in the assumption that American carriers would always appear off Hormuz. The political class behaved as if the American security guarantee were a law of nature, not a contingent choice. Their conduct today is closer to Chamberlain than Churchill: temporising, issuing statements, hoping the storm will pass without a fundamental reordering of their responsibilities. Trump’s antithesis is to withhold the automatic guarantee at the moment of maximum stress. Militarily, the US can break Iran’s residual ability to contest the Strait; that is not the binding constraint. The point is to delay that act. By allowing a closure or semi‑closure to bite, Trump ensures that the immediate pain is concentrated in exactly the jurisdictions that have most conspicuously free‑ridden on US power: the EU and the UK. Their industries, consumers and energy‑transition assumptions are exposed. In that context, his reported blunt message to European and British leaders, you need the oil out of the Strait more than we do; why don’t you go and take it? Is not a throwaway line. It is the verbalisation of the antithesis. It openly reverses the traditional presumption that America will carry the burden while its allies emote from the sidelines. In this dialectic, the prize is not simply the reopening of a chokepoint. The prize is a reordered system in which the United States effectively arbitrages and controls the global flow of oil. A world in which US‑aligned production in the Americas plus a discretionary capability to secure,or not secure, Hormuz places Washington at the centre of the hydrocarbon chessboard. For that strategic end, a rapid restoration of the old status quo would be counterproductive. A quick, surgical “fix” of Hormuz would short‑circuit the dialectic. If Trump rapidly crushed Iran’s remaining coastal capabilities, swept the mines and escorted tankers back through the Strait, Europe and the UK would heave a sigh of relief and return to business as usual: underfunded militaries, maximalist green posturing and performative disdain for US power, all underwritten by that same power. The contradiction between their dependence and their posture would remain latent. By declining to supply the synthesis on demand, and by explicitly telling London and Brussels to “go and take it” themselves, Trump forces a reckoning. European and British leaders must confront the fact that their energy systems, their industrial bases and their geopolitical sermons all rest on an American hard‑power foundation they neither finance nor politically respect. The longer the contradiction is allowed to unfold, the stronger the eventual synthesis can be: a new order in which access to secure flows, Hormuz, Venezuela and beyond, is explicitly conditional on real contributions, not assumed as a right. In that sense, the delay in “taking” the Strait, and the challenge issued to US allies to do it themselves, is not indecision. It is the negative moment Hegel insisted was necessary for history to move. Only by withholding the old guarantee, and by saying so out loud to those who depended on it, can Trump hope to end the free ride.

THROWBACK to a video from nearly three decades ago that the left wishes they could BURY! WATCH Democrat Senator Harry Reid in 1993... when he introduced legislation to end Birthright Citizenship for children of illegal aliens: "No sane country would do that — No sane country would give illegals citizenship." “If you break our laws by entering this country without permission and give birth to a child, we reward that child with U.S. Citizenship and a guarantee to have full access to all public and social services this society provides.” REPOST this for widespread exposure! #thinblueline #lawenforcement

Read this. They hunted this man for 10 years because he made this public. It all started with Kamala Harris.

These young ladies are so calm and composed. They had just left a high stakes meeting with a statewide official that has publicly attacked them and their legitimate concerns. And they just relay the facts without animus or hysterics. Amazing.

Two Washington students are raising concerns about how their situation was handled and calling for greater accountability after meeting with Superintendent Chris Reykdal to discuss the state’s girls’ sports debate.

Sooooo which is it? Are men taking spots from women or not? (spoiler: yes they are)

@letsgowa The male on the top left won the girls 400 meter championship in Washington TWICE (Division II).

Did you hear about the overdose at the Mercer Island station a couple days after it opened? Did you hear about the attempted murder last week at my closest station - Northgate? (A mentally ill man released after stabbing his sister tried to push a random man onto the tracks in front of the train.)

@Cascadia_AI Took the link across the lake to work today. That was pretty cool. Transit investments in general have been great. Crime is down. I know multiple people who have benefitted from the state medical leave program. Lots of positives!

Legitimately can't understand the type of person that would uproot their lives like this over a tax once you're over some minimum bar of not really having to worry about money. There are just so many reasons why I want to live in a place that are more important than my tax rate.

Just imagine being a teenager, and walking into a meeting with the statewide "king" of our school system, who you know opposes your sincerely held belief to compete in fair sports and not share your locker room with members of the opposite sex. He's publicly attacked your beliefs and you personally. And he comes armed with a hatchet person "chief of staff" and his LAWYER. You come in protected by your family and the truth. Tremendous courage and character. These girls and their families continue to AMAZE me.

@ErinFriday75490 Did she get enough donations?

For those who don’t want to be connected with Act Blue donate $1 her using the link below. Let’s watch Scott Wiener answer for what he is doing to women. Just 75 more individual donors needed. Let’s get fiery Marie talking about males invading female spaces. efundraisingconnections.com/c/MarieHurabie…

This is the “woman” in question at 15.

@TIME @naomirwolf Semenya knew he was male by puberty when his testicles produced the normal levels of testosterone that masculinized his body, just as all other males born with 5-ARD DSD. These photos are from his autobiography. That’s Caster in the boys’ school uniform, and him on the beach.

So many of our elected Democrats don’t seem to understand what ‘conversion therapy’ means. It used to mean electric shock therapy and invasive tactics to convince a gay child that he or she was not same-sex attracted. States can still ban those things. But ‘conversion therapy’ today in the context of this SCOTUS decision includes counseling children by affirming their biological sex. Here’s a hypothetical… Little 9-year-old Joey tells his doctor that he thinks he’s a girl because he likes to wear pink. In states with a conversion therapy BAN, his doctor would not be allowed to tell Joey that he is still a boy and that it’s ok for a boy to wear pink if he wants. The doctor would ONLY be allowed to affirm little Joey by telling him ‘yes you are definitely a girl and here are your puberty blockers.’ SCOTUS saw that as compelled speech, and a violation of the First Amendment. This was a near-unanimous, bipartisan decision. Representative Smith is wrong. There is no clear evidence of long term harm caused by verbally affirming a child’s biological sex. But there is abundant evidence of long term harm caused by pediatric sex-rejecting drugs and surgeries. SCOTUS absolutely made the correct call.
