Jay Inslee believes he has the moral high ground to call someone else a racist??? (See linked tweet.)  Remember in 2012 when it became public that the Washington State Democrats accepted $70,000 from JZ Knight, despite her well chronicled bigoted and abusive rants against Hispanics and gays? Her contribution went into the Democrats GOTV account intended to help Inslee in the upcoming election. For many days, Inslee and his campaign dodged questions hoping the issue would go away so the racist’s money could help elect him and fellow Democrats. It wasn’t until the Seattle media covered the story did the state party admit the money came from a racist and sent the money to other liberal organizations. Proving that Inslee and the Democrats believe it is acceptable to receive money from racist, if it is kept secret from the public. (FYI – JZ Knight continues to donate her racist money to Democrat organizations and candidates)  (KUOW)

Inslee’s press release states campaign raised just $3 million in the second quarter.  (Daily Q2 average of $33k is a considerably drop from their $73k daily average from Q1.) All candidates must have filed their 2nd quarter financial reports by Monday, July 15. Inslee’s report has yet to be made available online, so we don’t know if the report included any portion of the $4 million Washington taxpayer dollars being used to subsidize the campaign’s security.

Dow Constantine is accused of retaliating against the detective believed to have “leaked” to the media how the King County Executive used sheriff’s protection service like a personal Uber.  Reportedly, Constantine cancels his protection units on days the specific detective is scheduled to work.  Since the County Executive “rarely shies from away from having full time protection,” his behavior is considered unusual.

Seattle is less safe due to the understaffed police department. As reported here previously, Seattle is facing a mass exodus of experienced police officers who feel they are not supported by elected officials. Seattle Chief Carmen Best addressed the mass exodus of officers while responding to this past weekend ‘s violence. Best said, “We are losing good people, and we know that it’s because they feel like they are not supported by public officials.” (MyNorthwest)

While a Gonzaga Law professor receives national attention for wanting to censor free speech, a Gonzaga student earns national media for his selfless charitable acts.  Mike Rowe’s outstanding Facebook series “Returning the Favor” recently told the story of Gonzaga student Rick Clark and his mission to assist homeless individuals.  As opposed to many liberals who outsource their compassion to government agencies, Rick has committed his time and resources to helping those less fortunate.
