My Lawsuit Against Chase Has Been Dismissed With Prejudice

An NDA prevents me from sharing details. Probably a fair settlement-neither side is happy about it. When they tell you it's not about the money, it's about the money.

Poetic Justice or just ‘Up Yours’?

October 2021,Trump asserted executive privilege to prevent the January 6 Select Committee from obtaining thousands of presidential records; Chairman Bennie Thompson had sent the National Archives a 16-page letter to demand the production of a massive trove of documents—consisting largely of the president’s communications with dozens of White House officials, personal attorneys, family members including his wife and children, campaign advisors, and conservative influencers—dating back to April 2020.

The coup d’etat: America takes possession of Hormuz. Someone has to.

Seattle may delay transportation projects to pay for anti-ICE signs ordered by socialist Mayor Katie Wilson. 656 signs on city property cost SDOT at least $45,000 just to produce the signs, with installation costs still unknown. That means a city department responsible for maintaining streets, bridges, roadways, and Seattle’s two streetcar lines may have to divert resources away from core transportation needs in order to fund political signage tied to the mayor’s anti-ICE agenda. May not be an eye for an eye, but it’s a start.

Wilson framed the move as a matter of protecting Seattle residents. “Whoever you are, and wherever you come from: If Seattle is your home, then this is your cit
