Excellent news, expect R-90 to be on the November 3rd ballot! Given the harsh lockdown circumstances imposed on us by Inslee and the state Democrats this was a truly amazing accomplishment and a huge victory as over 266,000 signatures were turned into the Secretary of State to repeal ESSD 5395; the terrible sex-ed bill swiftly passed by Dave Paul and State Democrats to have mandatory sex education curriculum beginning in Kindergarten. This is more than double the required 130,000 signatures and a record for any referendum in Washington state!
On Friday, June 19th from 1 PM to 2:30 PM there will be a Loren Culp for Governor "Meet & Greet" event in Burlington. This is a great opportunity to meet Loren, here him discuss why Inslee needs to go, and get your questions answered. Address is: 14554 Josh Wilson Road (MAP). Please RSVP at (360) 661-1332.
As protests and riots continued in their 2nd week hundreds of thousands of George Floyd protesters and rioters demonstrated all across the country (video) as at least 15 people (including several police) have now been killed, and nationwide at least 800 police officers have been seriously injured and 150 Federal Buildings have been destroyed.
Meanwhile today the Democrat Minneapolis City Council voted to de-fund and disband their police department and replace it with a more "transformative new model of public safety." Ideas include sending in social workers to stop altercations, etc. And at least a dozen other Democrat city councils are considering similar socialist insane measures.
Many cities police have come under vicious attack my angry mobs. In Seattle, last weekend police had "improvised explosives" thrown at them and injured "several officers." Then on Monday Seattle BLM protestors and rioters which includes Antifa and other anarchists took down the police barricades and stormed and surrounded the Capital Hill police station. During the mayhem there were multiple shooting after a man drove into a crowd of the protesters.
The Seattle Police Officers Guild, sent a letter to Mayor Jenny Durkan, saying its officers are victims of "criminal violent acts" outside the east precinct on Capitol Hill, and that repeated assaults by "groups of criminal agitators" threaten drastic repercussions for public safety" in the city. Reports saying the protesters threatened to burn the police station down.
Mayor Durkin responded by shutting the precinct down and apologized to the protesters (not the police). The Angry protester mob's response: Taking over a 6 - 8 block area around the police station (see map), renaming the police department, "The Peoples Department," other signs written “Welcome to Free Cap Hill” and “No Cops Allowed” scrawled in black marker across road barriers and other signs saying things like “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone",(CHAZ), “You are now leaving the USA,” The Peoples Republic of Capital Hill," and "Abolish SPD." Not to mention much profanity.
Next, Raz Simone, a local rapper with an AK-47 slung from his shoulder and a pistol attached to his hip, screamed, “This is war!” into a white-and-red megaphone and instructed armed militants to guard the barricades in shifts. Later Simone was filmed assaulting multiple protestors who disobeyed his orders, informing them that he was the "police" now, sparking fears that he was becoming a de facto warlord of the autonomous zone. Video.
But this wasn't enough for the rioters and protesters, the group lead by Councilmember Kshama Sawant then took to Seattle City hall chanting slogans and advocating for the removal of Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan. This came after protesters and the ACLU sued Seattle, blaming Durkan and Police Chief Carmen Best for “unnecessary violence” at demonstrations. Governor Inslee's response, He knew nothing about it, even though the 6 -8 block CHAZ neighborhood is under a Marxist / Communist militant rule.
Assistant Police Chief Deanna Nolette say they received reports of armed people at check points intimidating people trying to enter and use extortion on citizens and businesses im the self-declared autonomous zone, saying "We’ve heard, anecdotally, reports of citizens and businesses being asked to pay a fee to operate within this area. This is the crime of extortion." In day 5 of the siege it is being reported that 911 calls response times in the area have tripled to an average of 18 minutes per call, and in the last 5 days at least 25 Seattle police officers have been injured.
The Anarchists Demands: CHAZ to be fully Autonomous from Seattle laws and law enforcement, Autonomous from the State of Washington and Autonomous from the jurisdiction of the United States federal government; Abolition of the entire Seattle Police Department; Take Away SPD Pensions; Abolition of Imprisonment (i.e. Private Prisons, Youth Prisons); Re-Trials for all POC Currently in Prison; Police Funding Redistribution to Social Programs; Reparations for Police Brutality Victims; Decriminalization of Acts of Protest; Racial Segregation in Seattle's Hospitals; Re-education for Teachers and the Media; Free Public Housing; Naturalization Services for Immigrants that are undocumented; Making the former Seattle police station a permanent "Community Center," etc.
As the True Covid death percentages lessen (as we were told they would by thousands of doctors) these protests and riots are again another perfect opportunity for the Socialist Democrats to further their agenda. In fact we now know (unless your in a nursing home) the odds of dying from Covid-19 is about the same as a typical seasonal flu, and the only "spike" we are seeing from all this is thousands of permanent businesses closures, massive unemployment, suicides, crime, violent crime, destruction of buildings and alike. Their plan...Get radical socialists in power / harass and provoke the police to the point that they break. Officers resign, retire early, walk away, Leftist city councils defund them, disband them, etc.
Next is Marxism, total lawlessness and rampant crime everywhere. Those without guns have their homes broken into, they get assaulted, and little to defend themselves (since the criminals do have guns, because they're criminals).. This leads to a chaotic environment perfect for anarchy and the Mafia...Crime escalates rapidly, much more than before....All the while Democrat operative media lies and distorts and fans the flames of discontent, and do all they can to blame Trump to get him out of power.....
Meanwhile Inslee and State Democrat dictates have lead to weaponize L & I which is threatening fines of $10,000 to businesses for not following social distancing mandates, etc. But when thousands protest, riot and loot it is totally fine and they are called patriots. The hypocrisy is stunning, but we should not be surprised because this is what the Left does and socialism leads to.
There is no way Inslee and L & I should have this dictator-like authority three months into this self declared "emergency" without any legislative input or oversight. At an absolute minimum it appears that the legislators have passed an unconstitutional law that needs to be nullified.
Also WA State House and Senate Republicans are calling for special session to help stop the insanity. Inslee has no right to dictate to businesses who can and can’t be open under harsh draconian mandates. The people and businesses deserve that respect to end the declared state of emergency and shift in focus to safely reopening our economy!
After revelations of a massive unemployment fraud scheme that temporarily shut down WA State's unemployment system, state Employment Security Department (ESD) officials acknowledged that criminals have stolen between $650 million and one billion of our tax payer dollars (aprox $330 million has been recovered). WA state's ESD is headed by Inslee appointed Suzi Levine, who is a former Obama and Democrat fundraising bundler. The WA State Auditor will investigate and probe the agency's ongoing delays in paying claims to thousands of distressed workers, info here.
Thanks to Governor Inslee and his policies hundreds of major businesses have closed permanently including the entire Cascade Shopping Mall in Burlington. “With the closure of anchor department stores including JC Penney, Sears and Macy’s, and the added financial impact of COVID-19 on tenants as well as ownership, Cascade Mall will permanently close on June 30, 2020,” Cascade Mall said in an emailed statement.
The WA State Office of Public Instruction is now saying in the fall ALL WA State Public School Attendees are Mandated to Wear Masks. Amazing how they seem to know the future of the Covid virus....
The owner of a manufacturing company based in Minneapolis has decided to move his factory after law enforcement was unable to protect the plant from burning during riots. He said "They didn’t protect our people, we were all on our own; they don’t care about my business, the fire engine was just sitting there, but they wouldn’t do anything. That’s the frustrating thing to us.” Law enforcement says they were completely overwhelmed, and many repots of preplanned attacks were told. Read more in The Daily Caller here.
New Zealand has eradicated Covid-19. Country health officials said Monday the last known infected person had recovered.

It has been 17 days since the last new case was reported, during which time an additional 40,000 people have been tested, bringing the total number tested to about 300,000.
China Daily, an English-language newspaper controlled by the Chinese Communist Party, has paid more than $4.6 million to The Washington Post and nearly $6 million to The Wall Street Journal since November 2016, the records show.
HOW TO WITHDRAW YOUR CHILD FROM SCHOOL IN WASHINGTON. If you want to start homeschooling during the school year and your child is currently enrolled in a public or private school, HSLDA recommends that you formally withdraw your child from that school. If you are going to start homeschooling after the school year is over, and your child is considered enrolled for the following year, we recommend that you withdraw your child before the next school year begins, so that the school does not mark your child as absent or truant.
We invite you to become a member of HSLDA to receive specific advice about withdrawing your child from school and starting to homeschool. Local schools may have specific forms or withdrawal procedures. HSLDA members are eligible to receive individualized advice about whether complying with those procedures is advisable or required. HSLDA members can also use the sample letter of withdrawal attached below to correspond with school officials. For more info click here.
Elaine Wilman has a new book out entitled "American Tribal Tyranny" How federal Indian policy monies up elected officials forcing American taxpayers to fund all annual operating needs of the Bureau of Indian Affairs and 574 wealthy tribal governments. It discusses how In the early 1800's two feuding national leaders, President Andrew Jackson and Chief Justice John Marshall perpetrated a fraud against American citizens and taxpayers with an unconstitutional Federal Indian Policy. Over the next 200 years, from the 1820s through 2020, every American taxpayer of every other ethnicity became an indentured servant required to annually fund one separate ethnicity, American Indians.

The entire history of the Republican Party, platform, values, and principles have demonstrated decades of deep concern and compassion for black lives, black futures, black upward mobility, and black educational progress. And most recent history proves (before Covid), under President Trump, Black unemployment was at its lowest level in US history. Meanwhile, Democrat policies put in practice in cities across America and the national education system have created, nurtured, and empowered the most devastatingly racist outcomes in the past century for black Americans.
Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò wrote a spot on letter warning President Trump about the current crises over Covid and the George Floyd riots: Here is an excerpt:
We will also discover that the riots in these days were provoked by those who, seeing that the virus is inevitably fading and that the social alarm of the pandemic is waning, necessarily have had to provoke civil disturbances, because they would be followed by repression which, although legitimate, could be condemned as an unjustified aggression against the population. The same thing is also happening in Europe, in perfect synchrony. It is quite clear that the use of street protests is instrumental to the purposes of those who would like to see someone elected in the upcoming presidential elections who embodies the goals of the deep state and who expresses those goals faithfully and with conviction. It will not be surprising if, in a few months, we learn once again that hidden behind these acts of vandalism and violence there are those who hope to profit from the dissolution of the social order so as to build a world without freedom: (Read article here).
Protests in the wake of George Floyd’s death in police custody have been carried out in every state in the nation, in small towns and large cities alike with crowds literally totalling several hundreds of thousands of people without "Social Distancing." In Manhattan on Saturday, an estimated 15,000 people demonstrated. And crowds in Philadelphia, LA and Chicago may have been even larger. Amazing that Democratic leaders all of a sudden seemed to not care about "Social Distancing." As the media is supporting and enabling protesting behind the protests."
President Trump announced rallies will resume next week. Campaign Manager Brad Parscale said the president and his supporters are "Ready to get back to action, the Great American Comeback is real and the rallies will be tremendous."
Spread of the coronavirus by asymptomatic patients is “very rare,” the World Health Organization said Monday, calling into question research that suggested asymptomatic cases could be spreading the disease on a large scale. “From the data we have, it still seems to be rare that an asymptomatic person actually transmits onward to a secondary individual,” said Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove, who leads the WHO’s diseases and zoonosis unit.
