Contrary to popular Marxist Feminist orthodoxy, it’s actually good & normal for women to smile & be friendly toward men. Men like women more when they are warm & kind. Women like to be liked by men. Everybody wins.

Impossible is nothing.

It’s always funny whenever the sex-after-marriage discourse hits the timeline because most of the people writing think pieces about it aren’t even married. If you really want sex advice, go talk to that 50-year-old MILF at the gym who’s still rocking her husband’s world after 30 years of marriage. The only sex advice she’ll give you is, “Just have sex.” It’s not that complicated.

Added context: Roosevelt regularly held boxing matches at the White House.

Omg. So Seattle. FIFA.

This is so Seattle. Never mind that we've legislated a myriad of polices that have harmed our small businesses, especially restaurants. We have the nation's second highest minimum wage (Tukwilla is the highest), eliminated the tip credit, the minimum pay ordinance for app based food delivery which harmed restaurants and delivery drivers alike, property taxes, nonstop break-ins and vandalism, the B&O tax, permitting fees, and ridiculous Covid era policies. This isn't hyperbole. This is real: "...more than 67% of Seattle businesses said they were under more financial strain now than during the pandemic. The data also showed more than 71% of businesses saw foot traffic down compared to the previous year. Sales were also down according to 63% of those businesses." Our leaders will never admit that any of this contributes to our restaurants closing down. No, instead of taking a look in the mirror and reexamining those policies, they try to "help" once again with a "Buy Black Card," which gives you 20% off the meal. This is funded in part by the taxpayers via the Seattle Office of Economic Development to give preferential treatment to restaurants that are black owned. I don't know about you, but I like patronizing restaurants that have good food and good service, regardless of who owns them. If it was totally privately funded, I wouldn't have a problem with it. But our government shouldn't be giving preferential treatment to one group over another just because of the color of their skin. And this is hardly the only example of these types of programs. I didn't see any news about a Buy Asian Card or a Buy Jewish Card. Are none of those restaurants struggling? And when can we look forward to Rachel Dolezal opening up a restaurant here? tinyurl.com/3bacb9fd

The Income Tax and Your Pension Olympia stripped the pension exemption protecting your pension from being taxed— even though "You Won't Be Affected" Warning TLDR Washington's new 9.9% income tax has a $1 million threshold. And every politician who voted for it will tell you: "Don't worry — this only hits millionaires. State employees, teachers, firefighters — you're safe." (However, firefighters please ignore the fact that we must raided your pension for the general fund) Then why did they rewrite the pension protection statute? Here's what they actually did. Every public pension in Washington — PERS, TRS, LEOFF, State Patrol, teachers, school employees — had a law on the books that said your pension was: "exempt from any state, county, municipal, or other local tax" That protection has been there for decades. ESSB 6346 added a new subsection to each of those 13 statutes that says this: "Subsection (1) of this section does not exempt any pension or other benefit received under this chapter from tax under Title 82A RCW." Title 82A is the new income tax. So here's the question: If the $1 million threshold protects you, why did they need to strip the pension exemption at all? The existing exemption — "exempt from any state tax" — would have protected you automatically. They didn't need to touch it. If their guarantee is real, the exemption stripping would be meaningless. Unless it's not meaningless. The only reason to surgically remove pension protections from 13 separate statutes is to build the infrastructure to tax those pensions later — when the threshold comes down. And it will come down. They've already done the legal work removing your exemption. The only thing standing between your pension and a 9.9% tax are promises from legislators who brag about making pie crust promises— easily made easily broken. — and now it can be change any time they want. Olympia tells you not to worry. But they have taken away the only legal protection that would have made worrying unnecessary.

Why would we want to do such a thing? You want more and more people to funnel money into a program that should’ve been eliminated decades ago because you basically take the money, hold it over the heads of Americans until they retire and then give them a measly $800-$1500/month? How about, you give us a choice, whether we want that money to be paid in for SS(200K plus in one’s lifetime) OR they can instead, pick to have it placed in an S&P account. Here’s easy math. You pay in 200K plus in your lifetime. That earns no interest and then. You get basically nothing to live on from that or, that money you paid in stays yours and at retirement age, the annual amount you paid into SS would instead be making interest, compounding over the course of your working life to then retire WITH all your own money in your own account. Valued upwards of 800K or more by that time. Make that an option instead of begging others to constantly pay for others bad life decisions

I knew Spencer wouldn’t win, but not even advancing to the general is quite heartbreaking. You can let your city burn down while drinking overseas and still keep your job because “vote blue no matter who.”

A great takedown of the “it’s just twelve cents” progressive argument. Great analysis MH.

BREAKING: Richard “Rich” Barton, the founder of Expedia, Glassdoor, and Zillow, as well as current co-executive chairman of the company, has moved out of Seattle to Las Vegas. Tell me again how wealth isn't leaving Washington because of the Democrats' income tax

Reposting this to celebrate the ratio.

Hey @KUOW, are you really this stupid? Or just that biased? This has been debunked a million times. Shame on you.

They sold you a "millionaire's tax." What they didn't mention: it's unconstitutional, it’ll eventually hit everyone, and they passed it without letting you have a say. Class dismissed. Vote YES on IP26-645 to stop the tax.

Left-wing WA Democrats whine about "regressive taxes" and then consistently, systematically RAISE regressive taxes. This imbecile mayor is lying. She doesn't care about regressive taxes. She's happy to make them more regressive. While whining about it.

I love how Antifa shows up to prove the point of the vote.

Monday morning viewing. Corruption in WA. What it actually means. How it actually works. youtu.be/PYsa9hiuWFc?si=Ra93…

Come on, @GovBobFerguson ! You started this now you must finish it. Sell your income tax to voters by debating the topic with Jim.

How could this have happened?
