Seattle's New Socialist Mayor Tells Fleeing Millionaires "Bye" As City Prepares For Vibrant Post-Wealth Utopia

In a bold masterstroke of economic genius, Seattle's freshly minted self-proclaimed socialist mayor Katie Wilson has solved the city's millionaire exodus problem by simply not caring if they leave.

While speaking at a forum at Seattle University earlier this month, the new socialist mayor said, "I think the claims that millionaires are going to leave our state are like super overblown. And the ones that leave, like, bye," she continued, waving her hand and laughing. 

The line drew laughs and applause from the adoring trained seals who presumably do not pay the city's bills, but online it landed about as well as a tax hike on successful people.

"Seattle's Socialist Mayor responds to exodus of wealth from Washington State by saying "BYE" ... then laughing. We're doomed," wrote Brandi Kruse.

Kruse's post has been seen over 4 million times on social media as of Friday morning, which is roughly four million more people than will be left in Seattle once the last productive resident packs up.

Popular conservative account "End Wokeness" also posted on X, writing, "Mayor Wilson seems to welcome the idea of a wealth exodus from Seattle. This is the FA part. FO coming soon.""Enjoy, Seattle," Fox News contributor Guy Benson posted on X.

"What do socialists think happens when the most productive, highest revenue driving members of their tax base leave their jurisdictions?" Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts posted on X.

"Socialists are driven by hate for the rich, not concern for the poor," Manhattan Institute scholar Daniel Di Martino posted on X.

"This is the reaction of a spoiled child whose parents paid her bills up until the point that she became mayor… She has no grasp of reality or economics," comedian Tim Young posted on X. "Seattle is extra cooked."

Discovery Institute Senior Journalism Fellow Jonathan Choe posted on X, "Seattle, you voted for this."

"This clip will live in infamy," the Washington State Republican Party posted on X. "
@MayorofSeattle Katie Wilson is not only unfit to be mayor, she lacks grace and gratitude. Perhaps, she's the one who should leave #Seattle."

Wilson shocked many political observers when she was elected Seattle's mayor last year, and many chalked up her victory to her ability to tap into a similar voting bloc that socialist Zohran Mamdani used on his way to becoming New York City's next mayor. Experts call this demographic "people who think other people's money grows on trees and also hate trees because they're not diverse enough."

Earlier this month, Fox News Digital reported on city advocates who say they are struggling to find solutions as homelessness and open-air drug use spread across Seattle’s streets, amid growing concerns about the direction of Wilson's new administration.

"You can just see the foil is like blowing down the sidewalks like autumn leaves," Andrea Suarez, founder and executive director of We Heart Seattle, told Fox News Digital in an interview."Very common to see property damage of our parks and shared spaces. You can see Narcan is used to reverse an overdose, so you'll see cartridges. But at least we're remodeling the bathroom to be gender-neutral. I'm not [kidding] you, that's where our priorities are."

City officials remain confident that once every last millionaire has been waved goodbye with a cheery "like, bye," the remaining citizens will thrive in a glorious, revenue-free socialist paradise where the tents are gender-neutral and the discarded drug paraphernalia forms a beautiful mosaic of progress.

By the way, Starbucks has made a significant move to Nashville, TN. They may move their HQ there too, they've already built a new building there for a headquarters, but we'll see.

Washington State choir rehearsal inked to COVID19: dozens sick, 2 dead

A choir rehearsal in Washington state in early March is probably the cause for a Wuhan coronavirus "super-spreading event" as dozens of choir singers became ill with the virus and two had died.

It likely began at the Skagit Valley Chorale in Mount Vernon about sixty miles from Seattle. The choir held its weekly rehearsal at the Mount Vernon Presbyterian Church on March 10, prior to reports of COVID-19 cases in the Skagit Valley area.

Since that day in March, 45 members have fallen ill and 28 have tested positive for coronavirus, Skagit County Public Health told Q13 FOX on Monday. Sadly, two members died, both were in their 80s.

No bans had been issued when the rehearsal took place and there were no closures in the county, although the Skagit health department did warn those folks over 60 to avoid "large public gatherings."

Almost three-quarters of those who showed up for rehearsal developed symptoms and/or tested positive for Wuhan coronavirus.

At that time, choir leaders said they decided to make the practice optional as they were concerned with the outbreak in other parts of Washington. Around 60 members – nearly half of the chorale – showed up.

Just a few days after, some members began feeling sick and as time passed, more members became sick.

If you want to use song to fight this pandemic, check out the video below.

“This virus looks different on everyone," Carolynn Comstock, chorale co-president, told KOMO News. "Some people had a fever, some people didn’t. Some people had a cough, some people didn’t. Some people only had that loss of sense of smell and taste.”

Jamie Lloyd-Smith, a University of California, Los Angeles, infectious disease researcher told the Los Angeles Times that the gathering would be considered a “super-spreading event” because of the number of positive cases and participants with symptoms.

In interviews with the paper, eight members who attended the rehearsal said no one showed any signs of being ill or even coughed or sneezed. They said everyone avoided physical contact and brought their own sheet music.

But one local health official believes it may have been the act of singing that led to the virus’ spread. But CNN and MSNBC will probably blame the spread on both President Trump and Christianity. They sure as hell won't blame it on China.

Wash. state Women's March group disbands after report detailing anti-Semitism

The Washington state Women's March organizers have announced they are dissolving their chapter of the national Women's March after the Tablet Magazine published a detailed report about rampant anti-Semitism in the national organization's top ranks.

The Washington Times reports that the Washington state Women's March group could no longer abide blatant attacks on their Jewish members from some of the national group's leaders, including Linda Sarsour, Carmen Perez, and Tamika Mallory.

Angie Beem, the group's spokeswoman, took to Facebook to explain the "difficult" decision, posting:

“Continuing to be a part of the Women’s March with the blatant bigotry they display would be breaking a promise. We can’t betray our Jewish community by remaining a part of this organization.”

Beem told the Spokane Spokesman-Review that she could not abide Sarsour's, Perez's, and Mallory's ties to Louis Farrakhan and said that while she knows the decision to disband an active organization would come as a surprise to some of the group's membership, she hasn't gotten a lot of pushback on her decision to disengage from the national March, proving that not everyone is an anti-Semite, but the left generally tolerates them.

“One of the things that has really surprised me is that I’m not getting a lot of pushback and a lot of hate,” she said. “That, to me, is almost a miracle.”

Although plenty of outlets, including Brain Flushings, have regularly reported on Sarsour's, Perez's, and Mallory's ties to Louis Farrakhan, the leader of Nation of Islam, and his openly anti-Semitic, anti-woman, and anti-LGBTQ rhetoric, it took an enormous and intense investigation from Tablet Magazine to bring the issue into the light of day.

That investigation uncovered not only that Linda Sarsour, Carmen Perez, and Tamika Mallory are intimately tied to Farrakhan's Chicago-based Nation of Islam, but that the Women's March and the Nation of Islam organization have been inextricably linked since the Women's March's founding.

The group was first organized as a grassroots effort but Perez and Sarsour quickly took over with co-chair Bob Bland. They aligned with the Women's March and another group with questionable concerns, The Gathering for Justice.

Once the anti-Semites solidified their positions at the head of the Women's March movement, Perez and Mallory steered the group in the direction of anti-Semitism.

Tablet media reported:

"Perez and Mallory allegedly first asserted that Jewish people bore a special collective responsibility as exploiters of black and brown people—and even, according to a close secondhand source, claimed that Jews were proven to have been leaders of the American slave trade."

The magazine also said that Sarsour, Perez, and Mallory looked to the Nation of Islam to provide security at personal appearances.

When the group's original organizers tried to regain control of the organization and wrest it from the three cohorts, they were met with insurmountable resistance, and a complicated financial relationship the new group had formed with the Gathering for Justice.

Although more than week has passed since the Tablet expose was released, Women's March leaders haven't apologized outright for their connections to Farrakhan, nor denounced the anti-Semitic Nation of Islam leader, nor has the Democratic Party. Instead, they've mostly called themselves victims of a witch hunt, insisting that the Women's March stands in solidarity against racism and discrimination in all its forms, proving that everything the left says is the exact opposite of the facts.

Since it was first alluded to in the spring of this year that the Women's March has anti-Semitic leanings, some of the sub-organizations have declared themselves independent of the national Women's March. 

According to the Tablet, "Houston, Washington, D.C., Alabama, Rhode Island, Florida, Portland, Illinois, Barcelona, Canada, and Women's March GLOBAL" have left the national fold.

But Washington state appears to be the first group to sever their ties to the three stooges: Sarsour, Perez, and Mallory over the Tablet revelations.

Huge Surprise: Turkish mall terrorist had ISIS photos on his blog

First he was possibly "Hispanic" and then he was simply "from Turkey." The Turkish immigrant who allegedly gunned down five people at the Cascade Mall in Burlington, WA smirked at his first court appearance Monday.

Now it has been revealed that Arcan Cetin (aka Cretin) had a blog which featured photo postings of ISIS scumcrumpet Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi as well as the Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei, indicating Cetin doesn't know the difference between Sunni Muslims from Shi'ite Muslims. He just wants Islam to back him up on his need to kill. 

Also on his blog were posts that featured serial killer Ted Bundy and the Area 51 test site.

Authorities in their infinite wisdom are not ruling out terrorism as a motive. Gee, ya think?

The 20-year-old is being held on $2 million bail. He spoke only twice to say "yes, your honor" to a judge's question. He also told detectives that he was the shooter responsible for the mall murders.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations has not made any comment thus far but be prepared for denials.

"Hispanic" Turkish-born shooter arrested in zombie-like state

Burlington, Vermont -- the suspected gunman, Arcan Cetin (rhymes with Cretin) who is believed to have shot and killed five unarmed people at the Cascade Mall in Washington state, has been captured near his home in Oak Harbor, 30 miles from where the shooting occurred.

Cetin was originally described by the media as "Hispanic" just in case he was, but he wasn't. 

Cetin, 20, was spotted by Island County Sheriff's Lt. Mike Hawley who told reporters he saw the suspect near his home and immediately recognized him. He turned his patrol car around and arrested him without incident. Evidently, Cetin wasn't willing to go up against someone who was armed.

Mount Vernon Police Lt. Chris Cammock said the suspect had immigrated to the US from Turkey and was a "legal permanent resident." But it isn't clear when he came here.

Hawley said that when he arrested Cetin, "He said nothing," and that he was unarmed and carried a computer in a satchel. "He was kind of zombie-like."

Cetin was arrested last year for a simple assault, according to Hawley, but didn't elaborate on the incident. The Seattle Times reported that Cetin faced 3 domestic violence assault charges in Burlington and Island County. The victim is identified as Cetin's stepfather. Cetin was also arrested for a DUI.

On December 29th of last year, the suspect was told by a judge that he was not permitted to possess a firearm.

The enabler stepfather asked the judge not to impose a no-contact order because his stepson was "going through a hard time."

Cetin's arrest came almost exactly 24 hours after the shooting at the Macy's makeup counter at the mall. Four women died in the store and were identified as Sarai Lara, 16, a  high school student and cancer survivor; Belinda Galde, 64, and her mother, 95-year-old Beatrice Dotson; and Shyla Martin, 52, a makeup artist for Macy's; and Chuck Eagan, a maintenance worker for Boeing who was shot while helping his wife escape.

Washington state shooter caught

An arrest was made Saturday in a shooting at a Washington state mall in which five people were killed by a gunman. 

The suspect was taken into custody in Oak Harbor. He murdered four women and a man at the Cascade Mall in Burlington, Wash. He was taken into custody about 30 miles from the mall and is identified as Arcan Cetin, 20, a native of Turkey. He went to high school in Oak Harbor.

No motive for the shooting is currently known, but the FBI did not suspect terrorism like they did not suspect terrorism when the father of Ahmad Rahami, another shooter, told them he suspected his son might be a terrorist. 

I guess that for the FBI to suspect terrorism as a motive, the person needs to be holding an ISIS or Al Qaeda flag in their hand as they scream "Allahu Akbar" and kill infidels.

The FBI appears to be increasingly losing credibility as an effective law enforcement agency ever since its director James Comey let Hillary Clinton get away without an indictment for using an illegal private server to send and receive classified material.



Three of the female victims were identified as of Saturday night. One was Sarai Lara, a 16-year-old cancer survivor. Her mother was shopping elsewhere in the mall when Sarai was killed.

Two other victims were Belinda Galde and her 95-year-old mother Beatrice Dotson.


Naive Mayor Steve Sexton spoke at a news conference and said that "There are people waking up this morning and their world has changed forever. The city of Burlington has probably changed forever, but I don't think our way of life needs to change."

Of course our way of life needs to change, first by removing our heads from our nether regions. Second by understanding that this is the new way of life and we better be prepared for it and be able to respond to it appropriately. Rather than seeing people with different political views as the enemy, we need to know who the real enemy is and to be able to call them by name.

In other words, we must identify the target and do whatever is necessary to defeat it.

I don't know whether or not this shooter was on a jihad killing spree or just a sick kid out to take lives. In fact, I don't know if there's much difference between the two groups.

But I do know that we need to be prepared to fight back with a strong police force that's supported not only with equipment, but with the support of the communities they bravely serve.

Protestors need to be allowed their First Amendment rights, but rioters need to be arrested and caged.

Organizations connected in any way with terrorism, such as the Muslim Brotherhood, CAIR and the other MB affiliated arms, as well as terror mosques, need to be put out of business and their leaders sent to their countries of origin.

The sooner we accept that change has come and we must adapt rather than stick our heads in the sand, the sooner we make it safe again for our progeny.

Search is on for shooter who killed 4 women, 1 man at Washington mall

The hunt is on for a gunman who killed 5 people, including 4 women and a man at a Washington State shopping mall Friday. The cowardly shooter fled the scene but there are images of him on surveillance video.

Sgt. Mark Francis, the Washington State Patrol spokesman, said that police were looking for a Hispanic man wearing black. He was carrying a rifle and was last seen walking toward Interstate 5 near the Cascade Mall in Burlington.

Francis, at a news conference advised people to remain indoors and to "stay secure." He said that the victims were shot in the makeup department of the Macy's store at around 7 p.m. The ages of the victims ranged from their 20s to elderly and there was no apparent motive.

The man who was shot was airlifted to a Seattle hospital but he later died.

Washington Gov. Jay Inslee said in a statement that law enforcement remain on scene and are working swiftly to find the shooter and clear the area.

The FBI announced that it was assisting local investigators with manpower and intelligence reviews. They said on Twitter that it "has no information to suggest additional attacks planned" in Washington state but didn't go into any further detail.

No reports of any "Allahu Akbar" shouts are currently known.

Authorities closed all access roads and streets surrounding the mall until further notice.

Just a few days ago, Islamic jihadist Dahir Ahmed Adan, 20, stabbed 10 people at a St. Cloud, Minnesota mall before being shot and killed.

If you see something, say something. If you hear "Allahu Akbar," run away from the voice, unless you're armed.
