Speaking truth to Zappone
Spokane COUNTY has issued an official tonguelashing to the CITY idiots (mayor and council) who insist loudly that they can’t possibly control crime and homelessness because “the jail is full”. Idiot Zappone has been among the loudest supporters of crime. The county’s press release is worth a long quote. = = = = = START…

Carney is the master.
Carney understands, better than anyone else in the world, how to deal with psychopaths. He’s not alone; even the Canadian journalists at CBC appear to grasp the problem and the solution. Our politicians and journalists continue to score a solid ZERO on this test. They can’t pull their brainless heads out of their own asses,…

Do they recognize their advantage?
Responding to the Repooflican crusade against the Post Office, I’ve been trying to point out that the PO is NOT funded by taxpayers. It’s a business like other freight carriers, depending on income from stamps and shipments. If Repooflicans were serious about opposing government overreach, they would be CHEERING for the PO instead of trying…

Too much adaptation
Press release at Spokane News: (Condensed) On Tuesday, September 16th, 2025, after a months-long investigation, DEA, ATF, local police seized 50,208 pills from a defendant at a Centralia gas station. … Lab tests revealed the pills did not contain fentanyl, instead they were carfentanil and acetaminophen. Carfentanil is a synthetic opioid originally developed to tranquilize…

Back to unsurprising again
In July I noted a slight bit of apparent action by the insane “city”. Some REAL people, ie people named Cowles, finally got tired enough to make the “city” take a tiny bit of apparent action. I wrote: = = = = = START REPRINT: I’ve been thoroughly bashing the “city” of Spokane for ENCOURAGING…

Another answer
Previous item repeated Carver’s answer to Machiavelli. Now repeat Henry Ford’s answer. = = = = = START FORD ANSWER: This 1935 Ford promotional film starts with a long florid speech by a pompous grandiose announcer, introducing an important address by Henry Ford himself! Mr Ford will announce the company’s way of countering the Depression.…

Machiavelli loves them
Everyone is riled up today, marching in the two assigned Machiavelli ranks, because some dude was killed somewhere. I’ve vaguely heard of the dude, maybe some kind of celebrity in Political Reality TV. These riled-up periods are good for me: they force me to turn away from wasteful scrolling toward creating or resting. I gave…

Grange beats Orange
A nice contrast to yesterday’s piece on tribes NOT doing the right thing. In part of the Plains the Mutual spirit still functions. Unsurprising. This is Mennonite territory, Farmers Co-op territory, and Grange territory. High plains farmers are accustomed to working together. Via NiemanLab: High Plains Radio, a collective of small NPR stations in irrigated-circle…

Same question
A few days ago I noted some positive developments in correct handling of Psychopath Trump. Some local elites are learning how to help their own communities, some aren’t. Here’s another some are / some aren’t story, seen via Nieman Lab. Cutting off public broadcasting funds was the right thing to do, even if Trump did…

Figured something out…
When Demon Elon was running his scorched-earth blitz, destroying everything good in government and strengthening everything bad, I did some careful reading and bashed him for misunderstanding two of the best parts. I pointed out that Social Security gets only 1% of its money from government subsidies. The rest comes through tax channels, but doesn’t…

Worth saying again
I’ve said this before, but it seems appropriate again now. Back in hippie times we used to think that the world would be all peace and justice, man, if the leaders would just get high on LSD and mushrooms. Now they’re high as a kite all the time on LSD and mushrooms, and they’re VASTLY…

No investigating
Getting really tired of the constant insistence that we need media to “investigate” wrongdoing. Media never does real investigating, and even if it did, EVERYONE KNOWS WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. What we need is SOLVING, not investigating. China doesn’t investigate, it solves. The New Deal didn’t investigate, it solved. The same applies to police work.…

Persistence
It’s so damn good to see a politician who KEEPS doing the right thing. The vast majority are bad all the time. A few make a move toward the good, then give up when the billionaires push back. Carney started doing good and continues doing it, despite the constant threats and craziness from Trump, and…

In one sentence
Seen on substack. Allegedly a Chinese saying. Extremely wise whether it is or not! Only kids argue over right and wrong. Adults see the nuance. One plays to win. The other plays to understand. How to deal with a psychopath. When your opponent changes all the rules all the time solely to WIN every single…

Priority list
If governments want people to listen to crap about “climate” and “diversity” and “zoning”, they will have to do ONE THING first. Control crime. Control crime. Control crime. Control crime. Control crime. Control crime. Control crime. Control crime. Control crime. Control crime. Control crime. Control crime. Control crime. Control crime. Control crime. Control crime. Control…
