Kavanaugh was opposed from the start

It seems funny to me that Sen. Patty Murray has been on TV several times condemning Kavanaugh before the hearing ever started. We never heard one word out of her mouth about Seattle’s former mayor Ed Murray who by the way is now collecting his pension.

Government officials are very conveniently forgetful about the education fines, mental health fines and huge over costs on the tunnel, but never on Trump hate. Why would so many schools want to go on strike when Gov. Inslee said they fixed education.

We are voting and electing more and more candidates based on race or gender because it is only right. Really? I can’t even say I’m a white male now without it being a racist statement!

I don’t see a lot of the homeless people jumping for all the jobs that are available. Do they want to work or not?

It’s too bad Ellis Island is a tourist attraction now instead of the symbol of America it used to be.
