Lane County tourism leaders push back on county budget proposal. In 2023, Lane County raised the Transient Lodging Tax (TLT) by 2%, which is a tax paid by visitors when they stay in overnight lodging in Lane County. The funds raised by the tax were originally supposed to be spent back on tourism-related projects, including plans for an indoor sports complex. Now, the Lane County Budget Committee is proposing to reallocate $6.5 million of those funds for public safety measures. So what’s new? The Democrats who get elected to run things in this state are ALWAYS pullin’ shit like this. Invent a tax on somethin’, say it’s gonna be used for one thing, and after there’s a few million dollars accumulated, steal the money, and use it for one of their favorite causes, usually one of their pet projects like bums or wetbacks. When’re the voters of this state gonna wise up? I know. Here’s an idea: QUIT ELECTIN’ DEMOCRATS!!!

‘Clueless’ socialist mayor in hot seat after video of 77-year-old beaten in downtown Seattle goes viral. An arrest was made using CCTV cameras, which Wilson denounced while running for mayor. As I’ve said MULTIPLE times, these cameras have a proven track record and catch crooks. Only people who’ve got somethin’ to hide are against ‘em.

Socialist mayor’s ‘super overblown’ quip draws fire as Starbucks ditches Seattle HQ. Starbucks leaving Seattle doesn’t surprise me a bit. When I lived up there, I worked in King County (just south of Seattle), but when I bought a house, it was in Pierce County, where taxes (and everything else) were cheaper. That was over 30 years ago, and it’s only gotten worse.

A federal judge decried the prison treatment of alleged Trump would-be assassin Cole Allen and apologized for his confinement on suicide watch. In case you haven’t figured it out, this’n makes me hot enough to f⚡⭐⚡! I’ve been sayin’ for YEARS that these activist judges are out of control. The asshole he’s tryin’ to say was treated badly was armed to the teeth, and at the Correspondent’s Dinner to kill #45/47 and anybody else he could – PERIOD! What the would-be assassin REALLY needs is an extra hole in the head, and to be thrown into the ocean somewhere to serve as shark food. That outcome HASTA be cheaper than the thousands, if not millions, it’s gonna cost to let this thing slog its way through the courts.

Somali pirate and Houthi alliance targets $1T oil trade route with revived hijack tactic. Once #45/47 kicks Iran’s ass, he needs to point all the ships and carriers towards Yemen and Somalia.
