Simmons: I'm aware of that, there's a reason why I said that. The Torah is also not biblical. Let the record state that I'm not calling names; I'm speaking from an outside viewpoint and addressing what I see, as a whole, for what it is. Nothing more, nothing less.
The landscape has changed a great deal since 2020. It has exponentially changed since 2024. The Conservative-Unaffiated voter, between the ages of 30-55, are coming to the their own conclusions, based off of common sense observation, and asking the hard questions. I say that to say this: Religious extremism shouldn't be tolerated by either side. The Founders instituted the separation of church and state for a reason. When a proposed system of government sounds like something from back in the Pre-Noahide blood sacrifice times of the Old Testament, I sit in my chair a little bit differently and narrow my eyes. People want lower taxes and they don't care how they get them. The shit's getting old and predictable.

Elected officials come & go but Bureaucrats R forever.
Each newly elected official is indoctrinated by th anonymous entity known as "the Staff." I recall, calling our elected pple on an issue & being told by each: "I dont know I'll hav to ask th CityManager." So I decided, why waste my time on these City Council peope, I'll go straight to th CM. CM's love this. Its th point that a CM knows that he's th boss (by popular opinion), NOT THE COUNCIL. The Council has been neutered. As th system exist, I suspect this happens EVERYWHERE! Parts of this is why pple dream of term-limits. They know th inner workings R rotten & need a new awakening. That's also why we cant bring back Sadler. He was a rubberstamp for "the STAFF, as much as anyone. So HOW do we find a replacement for Fritz who isnt a rubberstamper, treehugger, a butter-my-breader & worse yet, what th insiders call "a teamplayer." The last policeChief was demoted. Yet th CM called hm a team-player. What does that mean? Follow th $.

If this manager likes to cut government services, then there has been enough waste identified, that he could have done a heck of a lot more. But the bottom line, is we need our elected officials to stand up for us and tell the city manager to get stuffed if he does cut enough.

The new city manager might have helped a slight bit with your taxes but if you read his budget plan in it's entirety you will soon see that he's making up for it in charging the people higher inspection fees, higher electric, water & sewer bills, ect....
This new city manager has a reputation of taking on cities in distress. In Camden SC which is a town smaller than Washington, he increased water & sewer up to twenty percent, then went after the retirees health insurance. In Peachtree City Georgia his phrases were "we can't be all things to all people" and "cutting sacred cows when needed." Which sounds like some of the same phrases he's using here in Washington!" In Peachtree City he cut senior services, library hours, pool & fieldhouse hours,no more city spring clean up, closed the city Convention & Visitors Bureau and a city clerk position. He took out twelve full time & six part time positions all the while his pay check was getting fatter. At that time he was the highest paid city manager in the state of Georgia! He doesn't care about Washington just like he never cared about any other city he's worked at! He only cares about collecting a BIG fat paycheck!

IMHO the people of Washington have been asleep for decades, maybe even a century.
I think "stirring the turd" is waking people up. They are opening their eyes and seeing that this isnt the 1950s any longer. General politians, bureaurcrats, and low-lifes in general have a quiet motto..."I've got to get mine." Yeah I saw that on a T shirt a couple decades back. There appears to be a sloppiness in life AND Govt the world over. Its how we end up with corruption and high taxes. I know Govt monthly meetings can be boring as C-span, but WeThePeople must make it a part of our life, that we read the agenda, watch the meetings & keep a watch on all the Depts & Committees of the city. Remember "term limits?" We have a man who has been on a powerful city Board for 35 yrs. How does one do that? I think that they prove they are a "government team player." They dont rock the boat, they go along with what the Dept heads want. Let's Be observant. Does anyone know? Why was last police chief demoted?

Most folks don't want the LGBTQ crowd grooming their children, but as long as they just do their own thing among themselves without bothering other folks, most folks don't seem to care any more. Government should stay out of it, neither suppressing their private activities nor promoting their chosen lifestyle. Brabo needed to stay out of either side of the controversy. But John Valley is right that taxes are the most important thing, and this is just a sideshow.

I think most people have the"First Baptist" mindset; we ain't going out there BUT it's their First amendment right as long as they don't bring you bodily harm.
Old testament doomtroopin' aint going to do anything but stir the turd.. especially if we're talking stuff from the Babylonian Talmud; that's some dark stuff, dude. I think more people are concerned about the fact that the city makes the act of lowering taxes,to a sustainable reasonable rate, sound like something pertaining practicing the Dark Arts. It's baffling that nobody can see the Emperor doesn't have any clothes on. Something's screwed up and it's screwed up bad enough that everyday is another episode of the Tiny Toon Adventures; it's beyond stupid.

The Gaystapo wants to force their way into American life everywhere they can. The rest of us mostly don't care if they do their own thing, but we resent having it constantly waved in our face. Right now, Major League Baseball is in the hip pocket of the Gaystapo, requiring their players wear "Pride" jerseys or insignia. When some Christian players rejected that idea and wrote Bible verses on their uniforms instead, the woke MLB honchos decided to punish them for standing up for their personal principles. Now, the US Department of Justice has sent the matter to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to investigate the discrimination against the players religious freedom. I hope they give those thugs at MLB corporate a huge fine for religious discrimination.

Pandering to a special interest group like that is typical of Democrat politics. What other special interest groups will she be pandering to, I wonder?
