Socialist Seattle Mayor Walks back Stinging Comments about Starbucks, as Fears Mount that the Coffee Giant may Pull out of the Liberal City

/0 Comments/in , /by

Seattle’s lefty Mayor Katie Wilson admitted she was wrong to slam Starbucks and push for a boycott of the mega-coffee chain birthed in the Pacific City.

Wilson, 43, issued a terse mea culpa to the New York Times this week as questions swirl about whether the liberal Northwest city can attract and retain businesses, including Starbucks, which recently chose to expand its footprint in Tennessee.

The democratic socialist made waves last fall when she joined a barista union rally as mayor-elect and expressed her disgust with one of Seattle’s most recognizable businesses.

“I am not buying Starbucks, and you should not either,” she whined in November, according to KUOW.

But several months later, Wilson appeared to walk back her statement.

“Those comments were not productive in the sense that they caused more harm than good,” she told the New York Times. (Read more from “Socialist Seattle Mayor Walks back Stinging Comments about Starbucks, as Fears Mount that the Coffee Giant may Pull out of the Liberal City” HERE)

Seattle Mayor Melts Down under Simple Questions as City Spirals Farther into Chaos

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Seattle’s progressive experiment appears to be unraveling even faster under Mayor Katie Wilson (D), whose latest public appearances reveal that ideology has replaced competence in Washington state.

Wilson doesn’t appear to understand that wealthy residents mean a wealthier city, as she’s imposing a 10% tax on millionaires in Seattle.

“I think the claims that millionaires are going to leave our state are, like, super overblown. And if, you know, the ones that leave, like, ‘Bye,’” Wilson said at Seattle University, seemingly unaware that higher taxes will cause the wealthy to leave.

And they are, especially after Wilson urged a boycott of Starbucks. The company is now moving its operation south to Nashville.

And while none of this looks good for Wilson, things appear to only be getting worse. (Read more from “Seattle Mayor Melts Down under Simple Questions as City Spirals Farther into Chaos” HERE)

Police Union Tells Socialist Mayor To Pound Sand Over Anti-ICE Order

/3 Comments/in , , /by

The president of the union representing Seattle police officers said Friday he would not let his members implement what he called a “ludicrous” proposal from Democratic Mayor Katie Wilson of Seattle.

Wilson issued orders to local police, directing them to “investigate, verify, and document” activity by United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for potential prosecution, similar to directives issued by Democratic Mayor Brandon Johnson of Chicago, Fox 13 Seattle reported. Seattle Police Officers Guild (SPOG) President Mike Solan responded to Wilson’s order with a post on X Friday.

“Toothless virtue signaling rhetoric like this has already cost two people their lives,” Solan posted on the SPOG X account, referencing the fatal shootings of Alex Pretti and Renee Nicole Good in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area during immigration enforcement operations. “The concept of pitting two armed law enforcement agencies against each other is ludicrous, and will not happen. I will not allow SPOG members to be used as political pawns.”

Citizen journalists began probing Somali-run day care centers in Washington state after independent journalist Nick Shirley posted a 42-minute video that went viral showing him visiting Somali-run day-care centers in the Minneapolis area, propelling the issue of welfare fraud into the public eye. Initial reports of fraud in Minnesota by City Journal in November prompted the Department of Homeland Security to deploy hundreds of agents from multiple agencies to the Minneapolis area.

Mayor Blames Christian Rally for Provoking Counter-Protest Violence

/0 Comments/in , /by

Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell blamed a Christian rally and infiltrating “anarchists” for violence breaking out at a counter-protest on Saturday.

The Seattle Police Department reported 23 people were arrested at Cal Anderson Park during MayDayUSA’s “Don’t Mess With Our Kids” rally and a pro-LGBTQ counter-protest. According to SPD, police witnessed “multiple people inside one group throw items at the opposing group” and, while arresting individuals, were assaulted by other individuals, leading to an officer requiring medical treatment.

After the scuffle broke out, Harrell’s office released a statement defending the LGBTQ community and criticizing the “far-right rally” for provoking the violent reaction.

“Seattle is proud of our reputation as a welcoming, inclusive city for LGBTQ+ communities, and we stand with our trans neighbors when they face bigotry and injustice,” the statement read. “Today’s far-right rally was held here for this very reason – to provoke a reaction by promoting beliefs that are inherently opposed to our city’s values, in the heart of Seattle’s most prominent LGBTQ+ neighborhood.”

He continued, “Anarchists infiltrated the counter-protestors group and inspired violence, prompting SPD to make arrests and ask organizers to shut down the event early, which they did.” (Read more from “Mayor Blames Christian Rally for Provoking Counter-Protest Violence” HERE)

Theater Officials Admitted to Raping Children in Past: Report

/6 Comments/in , /by

Officials with a civic theater near Seattle admitted in the past to raping children, KCPQ-TV reported, citing court documents referring to Renton Civic Theatre board president Alan Parsons and art director Bill Huls. Renton is little less than a half hour southeast of Seattle.

A whistleblower working within the theater told KCPQ-TV she went to the theater board about Huls’ child sex abuse admissions but noted her concerns were ignored, so she decided to post the information on Facebook.

“Renton Civic Theater [sic] is a broken organization,” the post from the whistleblower read. “Their artistic director is a registered sex offender and harasses women. He has clearly been at his harassment for many years and has not been stopped because not enough of us have spoken up.”

KCPQ said documents from 1990 it obtained showed Huls, then 22 years old, admitted to sexually assaulting a 7-year-old girl who was the daughter of a family friend. The station said Huls pleaded guilty and was convicted. It isn’t clear what resulted sentencing-wise after that, but KCPQ added that court documents show Huls admitted to having graphic sexual fantasies involving children he personally knew. The station also said Huls admitted to being close in proximity to kids while in his theater group.

The theater’s board of directors included Huls’ wife as well as Alan Parsons, whom KCPQ reported is a convicted child molester. (Read more from “Theater Officials Admitted to Raping Children in Past: Report” HERE)

Seattle police shot and killed a 67-year-old alleged pedophile during a sting operation at a DoubleTree Suites hotel in Tukwila. The suspect arrived at the hotel on Wednesday afternoon, believing he was meeting two young girls, ages 7 and 11, according to the Seattle Police Department (SPD).

The suspect knocked on a hotel room door, where undercover officers from the SPD and the Washington State Internet Crimes Against Children Taskforce were waiting to arrest him. As officers answered the door, the suspect attempted to pull out a gun. The officers immediately opened fire, fatally shooting him.

Bodycam footage released by the SPD captures the dramatic moment when the suspect was confronted and subsequently shot. One officer was grazed by a bullet during the exchange but was treated on the scene for minor injuries.

High School Student Fails Quiz for Answering ‘Only Women Can Get Pregnant’

/0 Comments/in , /by

A history teacher at a Seattle high school allegedly gave a student a failing quiz grade after he answered that only women can get pregnant and only men can have penises.

A 10th-grade Ethnic Studies World History teacher at Chief Sealth International High School administered the quiz. The test focused on “understanding gender vs. sex” and asked students to answer a series of multiple-choice and true or false questions. . .

Question 4 of the exam asked students to identify whether the statement “All men have penises” is true or false. The student marked the statement true, which was labeled as incorrect by the teacher.

Question 7 of the quiz similarly asked students to identify whether the statement “only women can get pregnant” was true or false. The teacher again marked the student’s answer incorrect when he said the statement was true.

Several other questions asked students to answer questions like, “When someone uses ‘they/them’ pronouns, what does that mean about their gender identity?” and “True/false: Transgender people are gay.” (Read more from “High School Student Fails Quiz for Answering ‘Only Women Can Get Pregnant’” HERE)

Students at Seattle Public Schools sent letters decorated with rainbows and pro-LGBT slogans to parental rights group Moms for Liberty, the school confirmed to the Daily Caller on Tuesday.

“Please read the enclosed cards from concerned middle school students in Seattle, Washington,” Christianson’s note read.

Seattle Public Schools confirmed in a statement to the Caller that “the materials in question were sent last spring as an independent activity.”

WATCH: Parents Beat Naked Man Accused of Trying to Touch Children at JCPenney

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A man was recorded walking naked through the aisles of a Seattle-area department store as several adults tried to corral him.

The group of adults were reportedly parents who eventually attacked the man they accused of attempting to touch children, the New York Post reported.

According to the Daily Mail, the incident happened at a JCPenney store in Tukwila, a city south of Seattle, Washington.

In the video footage, the naked man is seen being confronted by another man wearing a brown jacket, light-colored pants, and a tan-colored hat.

Moments later, another man, wearing a striped shirt, follows the pair deeper into the store as the naked man walks backwards, apparently trying to escape:
