To vsnej, I agree, it is disappointing now alternative has happened or been proposed. What should be proposed is catastrophic insurance which is now not available. Gotta be covered for everything. mspart

Not least of which my kids cannot get 40 hours/week work because Obamacare mandated paid benefits for average of over 30 hour/week work. That's ok when they are in school, but in summer when they can work, they can't without getting two jobs. Now I did two jobs, I worked at a car wash in the morning/afternoon and then at the restaurant bussing tables. Even back in the 1980's I was a bus-person. Yes we had wait-people as well. Anyway, I had to do that to get 40 hours. They never overlapped so that was nice. But it is hard for kids to do that these days. Retailers schedule all over the place. Thanks Obama. mspart

He tried in Paris and fell a little short. Perhaps the LA games will be better for him. mspart

Yes and no. The state has essentially the same attitudes. Not every county or city, but the state government does. mspart

Update. WeHeartSeattle was exonerated on all counts and even pointed in the direction of money they can have to continue their mission. mspart

I have a friend that says all judges should be killed until they start judging correctly. They have done much harm here. Is this appropriate? Does anyone blame my friend's feelings? mspart

This one has gotten a lot of play here in media. Even a nation wide show ran this one. Utterly embarrassing. mspart

Back to the subject, we have a century of experience with socialism/communism. USSR, Mao, Pol Pot, Castro, Chavez. Each took a society and brought everyone down to the level of the lowliest. Over 100 million people were purged (killed). The promise of collectivism never materialized. China for instance up until roughly 1993, was as backwards as they come. Then they changed the system to capitalist/communism. They allowed for capitalism to have a say in the economy and they have transformed the country. USSR never really did that. Neither did the others save for Cambodia. What makes anyone think socialized medicine is going to be nirvana? Experience with gov programs almost 100% say it won't be nirvana, far from it. mspart

Let's say it was filmed. Let's say her claims are true. Would you be for throwing out the assaulters? Or not? Plus you didn't answer the question. Is getting hit with a flag pole assault? Is having beer poured on you assault? Is getting yelled at assault? mspart

That's the very same thing as the Portland thing. The assaulters were not removed. You have a strange view of what's right to do? Assault in one case is ok, in another not ok. How about assault is not OK ever? How about that? Does that work for you? mspart

Why is that not assault? https://www.tmz.com/2026/10/24/brandi-kruse-escorted-out-soccer-game/ 9:58 AM PT -- Podcast host Brandi Kruse tells TMZ that she and others were at the Portland Thorns game last night to protest another person they say was previously kicked out for wearing the XX-XY apparel. Brandi claims that she was assaulted, hit with flag poles, had beer poured on her, and screamed at. Brandi claims that she was assaulted, hit with flag poles, had beer poured on her, and screamed at. Which of these three is not assault? mspart

What do you call what happened in Portland OR as I detail just above. Is that not also fascism? mspart

Here's assault over a shirt: https://clarkcountytoday.com/story/soccer-team-security-scrutinized-after-podcaster-group Soccer team, security scrutinized after podcaster, group removed over t-shirts The incident is being reviewed by the Department of Justice, according to media reports Pressure is increasing on Providence Park Stadium and the Portland Thorns soccer team following an incident Friday night in which Seattle podcaster Brandi Kruse and several others said they were assaulted and forcibly removed from the game because they wore shirts from XX-XY Athletics, a brand that maintains women’s sports should be for women and girls only. In video posted by Kruse, a female security guard is seen grabbing and twisting Kruse's arm, pinning it against her back, then pushing her up the stairs and out through the stands, as other fans waving trans-flags shouted “shame” and vulgar insults. “I was just forcefully removed from a @ThornsFC game for the crime of wearing an XX-XY Athletics t-shirt. I am in shock. We peacefully wore our shirts. We were assaulted by fans. Then WE were forced to leave – with FORCE by stadium security. I am utterly in shock,” Kruse posted Friday evening. The incident is being reviewed by the Department of Justice, according to media reports. So Brandi Kruse and friends wore XX-XY shirts and were assaulted for it. And those that assaulted them are held harmless. It was Brandi and her friends that were kicked out. Just Amazing. mspar mspart

This is what Abdul will do. And every other DSA candidate. They want to sound more moderate like the VA governor to get elected, then they will go scorched earth after election. The people are so easily fooled. mspart

Having the government run any thing is a recipe for bad anything. There is too much corruption within the government and outside of government to make it work properly. Look at Medicare. https://medicare.chir.georgetown.edu/beyond-insolvency-the-bigger-picture-of-medicares-2026-financial-outlook/ Medicare’s Hospital Insurance (HI) Trust Fund Projected to Reach Insolvency in 2033 This due to fraud within and without. This due to the ponzi scheme of making current wage earners pay for the medicare for retired individuals. There are less kids than baby boomers retiring. You can do the math. Vermont tried it and then got rid of it. That should be a lesson as Vermont is not a Red State. mspart

Not to my knowledge. mspart

We just had an initiative called unconstitional because it violated the one subject rule. It was about the state trying to eliminate natural gas for new hookups and continual service. We have to ability to do initiatives, but they can be struck down for such spurious things. I don't mind a pedo prez mandating that no boys can play in girls sports. That's a good thing to do. It's the right thing to do. I might not support a pedo prez in anything else but I would support that. mspart

There is a state initiative on the ballot this for the midterm elections that will make it illegal for boys to be on girls teams. I signed the petition to get it on the ballot. It was an initiative to the legislature. They were supposed to do something with it, vote either yeah or nay. They didn't hold a vote which I think is illegal per WA Constitution. But it is now on the ballot because they didn't pass it. The majority in the legilslature are Ds. The WIAA sports commission has not made any determination. The State School Superintendent is against the initiative as are the AG and the Governor. So taking it to the state athletic association is not workable right now. It has gone to them many times and they punt. Hopefully the people of the state vote YES on this initiative. mspart
