West Coast, Messed Coast™—Spokane Arsonist Was Wearing the Same Shirt He Wore to Set Fires Last Year
We'll sort out why below, but when we run down the clues of this caper, you may wonder why 700 homes burned at all...
First of all, as I explained in my piece "The Guy Arrested for the Spokane Fire Has Been Investigated Before for ... Aw, You Guessed It," he was a patricidal murderer who spent 10 years in an Arizona slammer on a reduced charge of manslaughter...
- Now that Farinacci has confessed to more than two dozen fires, his court-appointed attorney has, predictably, raised the same concerns about the mental fitness of the 37-year-old father...
- Yesterday, Governor Inslee (D-WA) said the fire in Spokane was from "climate change"
- An arson suspect was just arrested.
Our children are failed by an education system that doesn't care!
- New York spends more per student than any state in the nation.
- Just 43% of third-graders,
- 48% of fourth-graders and
- 43% of fifth-graders

Read all!-----Trump Gives Iran One Last Chance. Tehran Is the One Running Out of Time
- The U.S. naval blockade is estimated to be costing Iran roughly $400 million a day in lost oil revenue, a devastating blow to an economy that was already in dire shape before the war began.

Fascinating!-----On October 19, 2026, Albertans will vote on 10 referendum questions.
Questions 1—5 ask for direction on provincial policy.
Do you support the Government of Alberta taking increased control over immigration for the purposes of decreasing immigration to more sustainable levels, prioritizing economic migration and giving Albertans first priority on new employment opportunities?
Do you support the Government of Alberta introducing a law mandating that only Canadian citizens, permanent residents and individuals with an Alberta-approved immigration status will be eligible for provincially-funded programs, such as health care, education and other social services?
Assuming that all Canadian citizens and permanent residents continue to qualify for social support programs as they do now, do you support the Government of Alberta introducing a law requiring all individuals with a non-permanent legal immigration status to reside in Alberta for at least 12 months before qualifying for any provincially-funded social support programs?
Assuming that all Canadian citizens and permanent residents continue to qualify for public health care and education as they do now, do you support the Government of Alberta charging a reasonable fee or premium to individuals with a non-permanent immigration status living in Alberta for their and their family's use of the healthcare and education systems?
Do you support the Government of Alberta introducing a law requiring individuals to provide proof of citizenship, such as a passport, birth certificate or citizenship card, to vote in an Alberta provincial election?
Do you support the Government of Alberta working with the governments of other willing provinces to amend the Canadian Constitution to have provincial governments, and not the federal government, select the justices appointed to provincial King's Bench and Appeal courts?
Do you support the Government of Alberta working with the governments of other willing provinces to amend the Canadian Constitution to abolish the unelected federal Senate?
Do you support the Government of Alberta working with the governments of other willing provinces to amend the Canadian Constitution to allow provinces to opt out of federal programs that intrude on provincial jurisdiction such as health care, education, and social services, without a province losing any of the associated federal funding for use in its social programs?
Do you support the Government of Alberta working with the governments of other willing provinces to amend the Canadian Constitution to better protect provincial rights from federal interference by giving a province's laws dealing with provincial or shared areas of constitutional jurisdiction priority over federal laws when the province's laws and federal laws conflict?
Should Alberta remain a province of Canada or should the Government of Alberta commence the legal process required under the Canadian Constitution to hold a binding provincial referendum on whether or not Alberta should separate from Canada?

It was the "FAKE" government jobs!-----23,000 Jobs Lost, but the Number Washington Hates Is 53,000 - David Manney
- Private employers added 30,000 jobs in July
- while government payrolls fell by 53,000...
- It's accurate, but so is "private employers added 30,000 jobs."
- So is "government employment fell 53,000."
The government decline needs context, too.
