Panic at the Department of Licensing – Ferguson knows

The Washington State Department of Licensing has been on our radar for over a decade now. They are just another one of these poorly run agencies that always seems to be buried under attempts to pretend they are not as scandal plagued as they are. Normally, the cynic in me doesn’t really expect much to […] The post Panic at the Department of Licensing – Ferguson knows first appeared on We the Governed.
The Left’s Next Gambit – Using Article V Convention of States to End Constitution and Trump

(Disclaimer: I realize this article is long. It is longer than any other article I’ve posted in the last decade.

Harger: The legislature built a perfect trap for the income tax repeal. A Thurston County judge just proved the trap works

An anonymous watchdog account on X called MintyHawk made a lot of people who support the income tax repeal initiative uncomfortable this weekend. Whoever MintyHawk is, they walked through the statute behind the ballot language line by line. And they’re right. The post Harger: The legislature built a perfect trap for the income tax repeal.

Rantz: A judge rigged the income tax ballot. We must bury it in yes votes on election day.

Thurston County Superior Court Judge Chris Lanese spent Friday morning making sure Washington voters read the state government’s campaign literature before they fill out their ballots. He upheld the income tax disclosure written by Attorney General Nick Brown’s office, tossed the legal challenge in front of him, and in the process wiped out the hearing Let’s Go Washington had scheduled that same afternoon. The people fighting the tax never got to make their argument. The post Rantz: A judge rigged the income tax ballot. We must bury it in yes votes on election day. first appeared on Let's Go Washington.

Some old-school ideas that worked

From an article at https://1819news.com/culture/jeff-minick-some-old-school-ideas-that-worked Recently I bumbled into the 1962 Spotlight, the yearbook for Boonville High School in Piedmont, N.C. I was in fifth grade that year, and the elementary school, which was on the same property and ran from first through eighth grade, was included in the album. My perusal left me a bit […]
