Team – Last week, we asked the question: do Democrats have a problem with job creation? Given the Democrats’ obsession with bowing the organized labor’s wishes and “reexamining” the aerospace tax incentives passed in 2013, the answer is clearly “yes.” Less than three years ago, the state Legislature by bi-partisan vote passed the so-called “Boeing tax … Continued

Our ongoing “Friday Funny” series continues… we’re looking at how our green governor spent the week of June 27th. Also, there are some “shocking similarities” between SDOT’s Scott Kubly and Hillary Clinton. And, the Seattle Times endorsed WA Insurance Commissioner Mike Kreisler — in other words, the paper gave the thumbs-up to the status quo. … Continued

Washington Democrats’ desire to “reexamine” the Boeing tax breaks has us wondering: do they have a problem with job creation? Also, ironically enough, the ethics investigation into SDOT’s Scott Kubly ended up costing taxpayers more than his $5,000 fine. And, Starbucks employees and customers are upset that hours are being reduced for baristas due to … Continued

Contrary to his promises as a gubernatorial candidate in 2012, Jay Inslee has done nothing to improve on government efficiency during his first term. Today, we expose three ways Inslee has, in fact, made government waste worse. In other news, a union-backed coalition appears to have gathered enough signatures to put I-1433 — a scheme … Continued

Like Hillary Clinton, Washington Democrats also often get away with sketchy activities even though they are guilty. Speaking of Washington Democrats, they (once again) proved that they are more concerned with the prospect of losing money (from the WEA) than with helping children succeed. And, extreme “greenies” are demanding the destruction of the Lower Snake … Continued

Friends – Last week, we exposed some eyebrow-raising policies adopted by Washington Democrats in their latest party platform. Jay Inslee’s state party platform included some repeated mistakes and therefore expected policy positions – such as a state income tax that the Democrats are again demanding. And the party’s guiding document included some Bernie Sanders-inspired policies. Like … Continued

Last week, our green governor went to great lengths for his fundraising efforts (hint: a lot of his time wasn’t actually spend in Washington State). Also, Washington Democrats’ party platform includes a $15 min. wage, and regulations on how businesses deal with wage increases. And, the Seattle Ethics and Elections Commission concluded that SDOT’s Scott … Continued

This ‪#‎ThrowBackThursday, we are looking into three times WA Democrats blatantly ignored voters’ will. And, Democrats’ party platform is more evidence that liberals often operate with a do-as-I-say-not-as-I-do kind of logic. Also, Seattle’s latest strategy to gain voters’ support for transit? Get a New Yorker to tell voters to pump more money into transit. Finally, … Continued

Succumbing to Socialist Bernie Sanders’ policy demands, Washington Democrats adopted a single-payer healthcare system as part of their party platform. Also apart of Democrats’ party platform? A carbon tax. In other news, evidently not wanting to do serious harm to a high-profile Democrat candidate, the state Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) gave Tim Probst a light … Continued

The opening of the new multi-billion-dollar expansion of the Panama Canal should place West Coast ports — specifically, those where labor unions have a strangle hold on port employment — on high alert. Also, the former president of Starbucks International is fighting back against Seattle city leaders who plan on imposing steep regulations on businesses. … Continued

Today, we’re asking a rather relevant question: How many major Sound Transit donors/supporters have purchased land around the transit stations proposed by ST3? Also, the latest version of WA Democrats’ party platform lists multiple forms of a state income tax as key objectives. And, the race we like to call the (McDermott) Hunger Games just … Continued

Friends – Last week, Jay Inslee went to Washington D.C. in order to fundraise for his re-election campaign. The trip itself was just another example of Inslee prioritizing his time working on his re-election bid, rather than focusing on anything that would actually help working families in our Washington. Thus, it should come as no … Continued
