– Gas Works is a better place than Cal Anderson for the Christian supremacist freaks. But have they considered going the fuck away?

– If Pam Bondi wants cooperation on immigration, maybe she could work to make it decent and humane.

– Sue Bird statue. If is delightful.

– Listen, Chris Pratt is from somewhere; That somewhere is not Seattle.

    We have banned TikTok from the United States unless they find a buyer that is US based and give us the algorithm.

    Target announces they will end pride clothing, and DEI initiatives.

    Normal people begin boycotting target.

    The announcement was in January. At most the boycott affected February through June. Here’s the problem with attributing Target’s problem to the boycott by liberals:

    The company has seen flat or declining comparable sales in eight out of the past 10 quarters including the latest period.

    The Q2 same-store sales decline was only 1.9%.

    Target has had big, big problems. Liberals and their ilk not showing up to loot isn’t really one of them.

    What’s the other piece of data that you decided to leave out when you quoted the independence? Actually, there are two.

    Target reported a 21% drop in net income in second quarter of this year. Sales were down slightly and the company reported a 1.9% dip in comparable sales – those from established physical stores and online channels.

    …

    Target said people were scaling back spending over worries about the impact of tariffs and the state of the economy. The company also said customer boycotts affected sales.

    >> Juxtapose that number against jobs lost due to tariffs.

    Remember way back when the Trump administration’s DOJ dropped the solid corruption case against NYC Mayor Eric Adams in exchange for Adams using NYPD to aid their deportation efforts? It was so long ago. There was an adviser Winnie the pooh or something whose house got raided and those charges got dropped too. It was March ‘25

    Eric Adams Advisor Winnie Greco Handed a CITY Reporter Cash Stuffed in a Bag of Potato Chips

    The failed payoff — a wad of cash in a red envelope stuffed inside an opened bag of Herr’s Sour Cream & Onion ripple potato chips — was made by Winnie Greco, a longtime Adams ally who resigned last year from her position as the mayor’s liaison to the Asian community after she was targeted in multiple investigations. She resurfaced recently as a consistent presence in his re-election campaign.
    …
    “I make a mistake,” she said. “I’m so sorry. It’s a culture thing. I don’t know. I don’t understand. I’m so sorry. I feel so bad right now. I’m so sorry, honey.”

    She then called THE CITY back, advising that we call her attorney, Steven Brill, and adding, “Can we forget about this? I try to be a good person. Please. Please. Please don’t do in the news nothing about me.”

    Global powers that sense weakness act powerfully. Putin needed only to observe Obama’s climbdown WRT Syria’s use of chemical weapons on its own people to conclude that anything he wanted was his for the taking. He knows what promises by Democrat presidents are worth.

    Kroger, scum outfit:

    Seattle Rep. Pramila Jayapal agreed that the closures will limit food access.

    “Food deserts aren’t a natural phenomenon — giant grocery store corporations create them when they put their bottom lines over the health and well-being of our communities and workers,” she said..

    From 2022 to 2024, Kroger spent $1 billion trying to merge with Albertsons, which owns Safeway and Haggen, but failed, UFCW noted in its release. The company then announced $7.5 billion in stock buybacks.

    Kroger was then sued for $125 million by C&S Wholesalers and settled the lawsuit on August 11, 2025.

    And verified.

    Whatever California gains for US House Democrats won’t last long.

    New Census Bureau estimates indicate the South could gain nine congressional seats after the 2030 census, the largest single-decade increase in the region’s history, reports the Brennan Center for Justice.

    Florida, Texas to Gain Seats
    Florida and Texas are projected to gain four seats each, with Texas potentially adding a fifth.

    North Carolina would gain one seat. These increases are driven by communities of color, with Latinos accounting for more than half of the South’s population growth between 2022 and 2023, concentrated in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and Texas.

    California and New York are expected to lose four and two seats, respectively, reflecting ongoing population outflows. Other states potentially losing one seat include Illinois, Minnesota, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Wisconsin.
