How did we get here?

Everyone is writing articles about how we (America) got here, I thought I should share my own thoughts. It’s intended to be a call to action, rather than a soliloquy.

How American Ended Up how it Is and how to Fix it by the webmaster

We let them distract us while they filled the college’s with anti American professors. When I refer to anti American, I only refer to values that ignore the history of America and its freedoms. We ignored the first tests of antifa troups called SDS and other left wing organizations. We allowed “terrorists” such as Bernadette Dorn, Angela Davis and Bill Ayers, all convicted criminals to become revered college professors, later to influence one of our most dubious presidents in history. We also ran away, instead of fighting when the left covered up his (Obama’s) history. There is no question that America indeed elected a Manchurian Candidate. We elected congressmen who thought of their service as an occupation with fringe benefits. We continue to do so with “republicans” who are afraid of their own shadows. When they lied to us, such as Tip O’Neil and other democrat leaders, we didn’t take revenge. We let them creep into our local governments and utilities. We never understood that it wasn’t the communist we needed to watch, it was the democrats and their own doctrines that we also didn’t bother to read. “The party left me” is a common excuse used by the middle democrats but it’s just a misunderstanding. The democrats have always been the same, with the same goals. They have always known that they cannot compete with conservatism head to head so they hide their agenda, just like they hid their faces under the sheets as the Klu Klux Clan. Today their minions, antifa do the same thing. It’s time to unmask them all, physically if necessary.

 

With the ongoing trials of Trump, they have through their actions unmasked themselves to the public to a great extent. They do it with impunity because we have given them so many years of acceptance. The question is, are we going to just allow it or seek revenge on the unmasked, by election, or otherwise. We are at the brink of total chaos. The Merchan trial is really just a test by them to see how far we will let them go. It’s also a dare, hoping that someone who they can pin on the right, makes a move to assassinate Merchan or someone else so a rule of Marshall Law can be declared. It’s time to hold on to your guns and your bibles.

 

Enough said.

 

Our Legislature

There are a host of bills being introduced by the majority democrats this session with many of them knowingly violating the state’s constitution and the Constitution of the United States. The reality is that they know it can take years of court procedures to settle these outrageous bills. How about if there was a law passed that any legislator submits a bill knowing that it will not stand up to legal scrutiny under the constitution is personally liable for all costs incurred by the plaintiffs and the state defending it should it be found unconstitutional.

Passing the covid test

Every once in a while you hear about things that you just can’t fathom. Or, you might just put them in the You Can’t Just Make This Up category. Sadly the level of corruption keeps rising to new levels everyday. No, I’m not talking about the stupid trust baby, Bankman.

Buried in Biden’s American Rescue Plan is a 100 billion bailout of union pensions. I suppose when you voted for your local democrat in congress or the big guy himself or worse yet, as a so called republican you didn’t even bother to vote, you missed the fine print.

The Daily Signal has a little reminder for you about how important it is to vote. You can find it here.

Washington Politics and Elections

Washington State moved to all mail in or Dropbox ballots many years ago. I have met some who remember when Washington voted like most states at the time by in person voting. I don’t know what the statistics are but I imagine most of the voting takes place in most of the states now with mail in or what it is supposed to be, absentee ballots. Even when we lived in Kalifornia, my wife and I started voting absentee. It started once we were actually going to be absent and then it just became more convenient. Oregon is another state that has has mail in ballots for many years. This goes back even to the mid nineties. My father who lived in a rural area was all for it because they would have to travel to vote. Even then it bothered him that there was nobody there to check your ID.

Voting, at least how you vote has just become a political issue for both parties. What’s missing is the purpose of voting, the duty of voting and the consequences of voting, or not. Our country was established based on the rights of the people. This is clearly set in the constitution and the Bill of Rights. The writers of those documents did their best to protect the majority which I mean as citizens from the politicians. Every article of the constitution is limiting the government. The problem is that “the government” has grown into a bunch of people and is overrun with non elected officials given powers that are opposed to the constitution. Look at the current ruling by the Supreme Court with regards to the EPA. They rectified and limited the powers of an agency that has run amok.  Personal note, the EPA was formed during Nixion’s presidency and for many, including myself the absolute worst decision he ever made. CAL EPA is even worse that the federal. This was one of the departments that was weaponized by the Obama administration. Waters of the US was a tool they used to push regulation, even to the point of claiming some cattle ponds were governed by this decree. The IRS was also used by him, yes Obama personally to target people who opposed his amoral governing. He should be in jail for many causes.

But I didn’t start this with the intention of taking on all the ills of our government and it’s passed participants. I wanted to discuss specifically elections in Washington, though my thoughts may be relevant in other states as well. The state of Washington went to all vote by mail in 2005. This was law passed by the legislature. All ballots are intended to be submitted by drop box or by mail. You can however vote in person or drop off your ballot at certain government offices, such as the county auditors office for Snohomish County in Everett. Are the drop boxes monitored, nope. Should they be? Yes, in my opinion.

I have worked several elections in my county. The outline that you can find on the Washington state site is accurate as to the path that the ballots are supposed to take from vote to election. I have worked in several of the sections during the elections, including opening ballots and scanning them. I can say that I found little area in most of the activities for the ability to engage in election fraud. There are two areas on the floor (which I refer to as the area where vote counting takes place). In Washington this is performed by each county. If you go back a few steps you need to start with where does the voter register to vote. Here it is mostly handled by the DMV or department of licensing. When you apply for a drivers license, you are asked if you want to register to vote. That seems safe enough however, Washington grants real driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants. There is NO indication or mark on them showing their immigration status. It will only say Federal Limits Apply whis is on every license that is not enhanced. In other words, no different than most. A question you might ask is who insurers them? This one of the first areas I would identify as something that has a potential for fraud. Wishing the election work area are groups handling various tasks. You can refer to the chart provided by the state for the general flow of the ballots. What the flow chart doesn’t mention is adjudication, which is a specific area within the voting center. Like the scanner area, it is a secure area which is behind a fence from the rest of the space. Workers in pairs review ballots that were deemed by either the people who opened the ballots or the scanners to be illegible as to the voters intention. There is a whole article on judging these and I won’t go into what constitutes a ballot needing adjudication. However, this is an area where some dubious activity could be possible but it would take both members of the team to effectively commit a fraud here. Since Washington does not use voting machines, we’re really left with one big area where the vote could be manipulated. That is after the votes have been scanned into the servers on site. The Washington voting website says that the servers are not hooked up to the internet or any other network. That is really hard to verify because while the servers are behind the same fence the scanners and the adjudication personnel are, there is at least one laptop that is out of the cage. I can only speak of Snohomish County. I know that it is possible to delete batches of ballots there. If a fraudulent ballot batch could be introduced, it could be manipulated. Let me say this though. From the time the ballots come in to the work area, they are tracked with a batch number and sequence. The votes are not counted until they are scanned. It is at that point that candidate A or B votes are counted. They may not be tabulated but the scanning software has recorded the vote for each ballot.

Let’s go back to the ballot boxes. In the 2020 elections there was every indication that they were stuffed with multiple batches of ballots by individuals who had no legal rights to be handling other’s ballots. In many instances the boxes themselves were illegal according to their own state voting laws. Washington along with only a few states have no mention of vote harvesting or who can turn in votes for other voters. This is according to Ballot Pedia. Therefore, can Washington enforce any laws with regards to stuffing ballot boxes? It doesn’t look like it to me. Is there mass harvesting of ballots from facilities like rest homes or other care facilities. I believe so. Are ballots collected or stolen in the mail. Yes, I personally know of two cases of third party friends having it happen. Washington has a huge majority of liberals, many who would do anything to thwart conservatism in any form.

we should all be wary of voting fraud in our state. Should Washington return to voting in person? Absolutely. Should Washington have one day for the elections, absolutely. Should Washington get rid of mail in ballots, absolutely with the exception of specific conditions. Outside of an emergency, what stops a voter who knows they are not going to be available to vote on that designated day to vote in person early? By law voters are given the time to vote. Voters need to present their identification for multiple reasons and there is no reason why it cannot be presented to vote. The people of Washington must demand voter integrity. Washingtonians must demand fraud free elections.

 

 

A Little Spice Shop

There used to be a little spice shop not too far from me called Penzeys Spices. It was unique in that they filled about a thousand square foot of retail space with a good selection of spices and packaged cooking gift sets. We started noticing their demise shortly before Christmas last year when they stopped being a retail store and just had pick up for spices ordered. I imagine they were hit hard by the covid restrictions placed on all businesses by our misguided governor.

They closed the store after the first of the year. I decided to take a look at their on line presence and see if they had closed other stores. From my browsing I saw that they maintained an on line presence and also seem to have a number of stores around the country. In our case, I suppose the location choices for this store could have been better. It’s placement in the center could have been better etc.

While browsing the website I was astonished to find a menu item labeled “About Republicans.” I clicked on it expecting to read some drivel from a left leaning shop keeper which is all to common here in the left coast. Instead it was a soliloquy about the republicans drift from this person’s vision of where the party should be. The reader was forced to assume the writer was an old guard Republican who has watched his party depart sanity. Instead the writing contained all of the catch words of a liberal trying to rationalize his liberalism. In his opinion republicans really have turned into Neanderthals who are afraid of computers “Remember when your distrust of big city types, and your deep rooted beliefs in paying your debts, respecting your marriage, raising kids willing to serve, honoring your word, and going to church every week had you voting for Donald Trump over Joe Biden all because Biden’s son had a computer? Or how you couldn’t vote for Hillary because she was over-prepared and used emails?” Seriously?

Since republicans don’t believe in climate change they want to destroy the earth. One must remember, climate change is the phrase the left switched to when they finally figured out that there is no science for anyone to believe behind global warming. In the seventies, the earth was going to freeze. Yep, I was there too. Biden’s son had a computer and oh what a computer it is. Eventually the Biden organization will be outed. Just like the Clinton’s. Unfortunately much like David Ayers and Bernadette Dohrn, nobody will care any longer. What do you think about them Bill?

You accuse the Republican Party of racism. Back your words up. Meanwhile the left has been murdering non whites for decades under the cover of “woman’s rights” We’ll have those niggers voting for us for decades, famously spoken by LBJ. Welfare is and was a poison gifted by the democrats to the blacks. The same has been true for what we’ve done to the original people of the US, no really the world. Social welfare and ignoring honor has raised generations of dependence upon handouts throughout the civilization.

Your argument give the parameters of either Trump or Biden. Is that really a choice? I’ve been around long enough to vote for Nixon, of course Reagan, and Trump. Nixon was smart enough to know that the corrupt press had already convicted him in the publics view. Forget the things he did do in his administration. Reagan was good man though he was gullible. Tip O’Neal fooled him often. He was honorable enough to recognize that he could not run the country in his growing stages of mental decline. Compare that to the current president who has no business even taking the title. The thought of Biden winning the election is laughable. It didn’t happen and no, I am not delusional.

In closing Bill, can you name five policies that Donald Trump supported during his presidency that you believe harmed the country? Please name five policies that Joe Biden has implemented that are good for the country. Please try to remember, the president should not judged by their tweets or personal faults but by what they did or do for the country. If the opposite were true, how should JFK be judged?

The Militarization of our Police

Britain was once the largest power in the world. They colonized more countries than any other European state and were hated in much of the world. The truth is, the countries they did colonize are many of the most successful in modern times, including Canada, Australia, New Zealand and several countries of Africa. As the Monarchy has been exposed to the world in scandal after scandal starting for many with Diane are they showing Their strength in the heavy handed approach they’ve taken during the covid made up pandemic?
 

The world is witnessing a new era in policing. It wasn’t too long ago that incidents like Tiananmen Square drew condemnation from the entire world. Now we watch governments thinking nothing about brutalizing their citizens. “ excuse me, I’ll need to leave tea a little early today. I’ve got to go bang some protesters with my club.” Our society has changed. It used to be that you could argue that our police, along with teachers and other groups were under paid. It isn’t so any longer. At least in America. Policemen in metro areas are earning with overtime upwards of $200k a year in many cases. The days of teachers earning in the low $20k are long over. All are unionized. Their pay isn’t the problem though. Much of the problem with policing is the trend towards militarization of their forces. Starting with Viet Nam, military equipment started winding up in the hands of the everyday policemen. The gulf wars brought huge arsenals of weapons and other gear, such as night vision and vehicles. Do the police forces need to stay current with advances in weaponry? Of course. The threat of violence towards them has grown too but, I believe we are replacing the purpose of policing to a military, which is not their mission.

In Japanese culture the Samurai were not only the ruling class’s warriors but also the small forces of the local politicians. Much the same as our modern day police force except they also collected taxes and concubines for their masters. Other countries had small groups of warriors working for their masters. It continues today. Look at Africa, much of the Middle East and South America. Have the modern day police force just caught up with the rest of the world? There are a lot of good people in the police forces around the world but make no mistake, it takes a special personality to successfully live out a career. That is also why you see a larger percentage winding up as suicides. I don’t know whether the duties they are being asked to do now will increase it or not but look at the suicide rate amongst the military.

What this brings is our current situation in Canada though you could also say France, Great Britain, Australia and even the US. Are we turning towards a time of paid mercenaries, as overseers to the general population? Sadly, if it isn’t stopped we will. In America our founders left us with a constitution. They also left us with a system where it could be attacked every day. Will our country come to the point where we have to use it. Through the ages, warlords were overtaken by warlords with more men. Now the petty politicians have their own forces in the police. The question will come down to whether the non military forces, the police will chose a constitutional free society or enjoy the new found powers of the feudal society the left is driving us to.

The Intelligence Community is Spying on you

The intelligence community is spying on you and it gets worse. You are probably going to hear over the next several days about evidence released by the John Durham investigation. Frankly I gave up on him some time ago, even knowing that these types of investigations take a very long time. What most of the information you will here is just the tip of the iceberg.

Instead of giving you snippets of the information I am linking the entire article that has the government reeling. The article is from the Conservative Treehouse. I am not one to say red it before it’s banned but I suggest you should read it, download it and share it with friends while you can.

Why do Democrats choose Crime?

Why Democrats choose crime over safety. Reading that the Manhattan DA is backtracking on his statements the day he took office is unsettling at the least. Not that I disagree with him for doing it but that he would make the kind of statements he made in the first place. The world watched how democrat run cities allowed riots and property destruction for much of 2020. For some of it, you can attribute to some feelings of guilt or sympathy for the causes, Rodney King etc. Let me be clear though, there are no excuses or reasons to allow mobs to destroy property, public or private nor put citizens and police in danger. Moreover, public figures such as Alexandra Cortez, Ilhan Omar and particularly California democrat, Maxine Waters, a disgrace to her race and to the legislature should be charged with inciting violence.

All of the above have done nothing to make their districts better off. Waters doesn’t even live in her predominantly poor district, choosing to live in a multi million dollar mansion outside the boundaries. So why do all of these people treat their constituents so poorly and the criminals amongst them so well? Is it really for votes? To me it make sense to treat your constituents well and they will vote for you. Is the new standard of treating your people well, just giving them free stuff and get out of jail cards? In times past it was development, jobs, clean air and water.

Is a mother whose son was shot because he was in the wrong place at the wrong time going to vote for you? The cities that most of these people represent are the most dangerous areas of the country. Is this the revolution that the democrats want?

Personally I believe this is all the precursor to the revolution they, democrats never envisioned. The people of our country are waking up. More and more they recognize that something isn’t right. When they see Governor’s like Newsom ignore the same unlawful rules that he placed on the commoners, somebody is eventually going to pay the price. From the inception of our government, the people have voted with their feet. Sometimes used to boot out their representatives. The last election was wrought with fraud. No matter what the scale, fraud was widespread. Currently the democrats are rushing to sponsor legislation that ensures their hold on America. California accomplished this several years ago. There is little chance that a conservative will ever be elected to a statewide office there again. We mustn’t allow them to do this to more states.

So are the democrats just soft on crime or do they have another plan? They already have antifa and BLM working for them. What could a few more criminals do. I say it’s time to stop it.

Why I’m voting No on School Bonds and Measures

Teachers deserve good pay. For most I still believe it was a profession chosen because the person wanted to help children. However, the days of teachers being underpaid disappeared a long time ago. Nowadays most states have collective bargaining for all teachers and many for the entire staff. Washington belongs to that group. While every bond measure or ballot measure is sold on “helping the students or teachers” the sad part is that most of the moneys received are sucked into the administration. With few exceptions, school districts are op heavy with administrators, superintendents and other “specialists.”

Washington currently has a special election scheduled for most counties and for a majority of them, the election is about ballot measures and bonds related to further funding school districts. Many push the theory that seniors invariably vote against such measures because they have no kids in the system. From my research, this is false. Most like me believe our children deserve a good education and recognize that it takes support financially to do this. Though I looked at several of the measures from a couple of districts, I can only speak to the couple near me.

The measures talk about extending taxes from revenue received by the county in property taxes. This is a normal and common means of collection for school districts. These are based on a percentage of property taxes on buildings. There are several other methods that the districts receive funds and those are from fees collected during the development and permitting process. These are collected on a square foot bases or unit bases. Remember this is over and above the revenue received from property taxes. For instance, the North Shore School district receives close to $1,600 a unit for apartments built. They collect a little under $5,000 per home built. Other districts are similar. This information is never included in the explanatory area of ballot measures. This information is publicly available on the respective government sites.

Within your voter pamphlet each measure will have a pro and con with advocates or proponents speaking why you should vote to pass or defeat each measure.  In school measures the advocates most always try to influence the reader by saying how the money is needed in the classrooms and teachers are underpaid. I’ve reviewed the pay and benefits for a few of the districts and in my opinion, these kind of statements are patently untrue. In North Shore for instance, the advocates wrote that the teachers pay amounted to $52,000 per year. This figure comes from the school district site itself. What the proponents of the measure don’t say is the benefit package that all employees receive along with their employment. A first year teacher in elementary grades will receive slightly less than $120,000 in pay and benefits while principals and vice principals receive $164,000-$187,000. District level superintendents receive in the neighborhood of $230,000 or more depending on the district. All districts that I reviewed were under collective bargaining.

Well I’ve established that while school teachers and other employees are not under paid, many deserve good wages. It is for our kids. So why am I against these measures? It goes beyond pay or intent, especially now. I think the voter needs to look beyond all of the hyperbole of why you should vote yes but how has the previous moneys been spent. It’s pretty easy to say that these schools need repairs if you’ve visited any site. Looking at rooms in Northshore and Shoreline, it’s easy to say they need upgrades, including painting. The districts are required by law to publish annual budgets. Have they adhered to them? Why does it appear that much of the maintenance has been deferred and in many instances ignored. Remember most of the public schools were closed for over a year in this so called “pandemic.” While most staff continued to receive their pay and benefits, the campuses remained empty. They incurred lower utility costs and also other maintenance costs at a minimum. What did the school districts do with the savings, moreover what have the districts done with the moneys they’ve received throughout their existence? These are things that should able to be asked in public meetings but budget and bond proposals do not get on the calendar, nor in the publics attention.

You, your neighbors or relatives have been affected by this pandemic narrative yet the school districts and most public agencies thrive. Isn’t it time for them to be accountable?

Local Elections are coming to a town near you

updated June 23, 2021
As I write this it is the beginning of June, 2021. We’re starting to see candidate and issue signs around our neighborhoods. Much the usual, many candidates make lofty statements about issues they are going to tackle but most of us know there is little a city councilman can do about “equity” or access to healthcare etc.

One of the candidates in a local election for the Bothell Washington city council has listed some pretty lofty issues he”s going to work on. Of course the solutions are weighted with simple empty platitudes. I decided to ask him “what do you mean?” I would have thought that since these were important goals for him and his campaign the answers should be pretty simple. So far I’ve heard nothing from him or his campaign.

I am or have reached out to other candidates for city council, as well as a few other elected positions locally. I will report or offer space to any who wish to make a statement including their goals or positions.
