Seattle, as we all know, is ground zero for nutso socialist malcontents who hate America, progress, and normal values. Like their compatriots in Los Angeles, Portland, Minneapolis, NYC, and other major metropolises, they keep on voting in progressive extremists whose policies bring explosions of crime, grime, homelessness, and unaffordability.
Somewhat lost in the news cycle — what with democrat socialist Zohran Mamdani becoming mayor of the Big Apple and the conflict with Venezuela — Seattle swore in a true leftist who is every bit as bad as Zohran. Her name is Katie Wilson, and she is truly special:
🚨BREAKING: Open Socialist Katie Wilson takes office as Seattle, Washington's next Mayor.

At 43 years old, she relies on her parents for financial support and has no professional accomplishments. She did not start earning a regular income until her late 30s. pic.twitter.com/04e8BPj2az
As I wrote in November when she won the election:
Her platform sounds wonderful, but like Mamdani’s, one can’t help but wonder who’s going to pay for this utopia.
“I want everyone in this great city of ours to have a roof over their head. I want universal child care and free K-8 summer care. I want world-class mass transit. I want great, safe public spaces where kids can run around with abandon. I want stable, affordable housing for renters. I want social housing. I want much more land and wealth to be owned and stewarded by communities instead of corporations,” she said.
So now we’ve got two democratic socialist mayors running major American cities. What could go wrong?

But I’ve finally figured out what's wrong with Seattle: it sucks. Therefore, residents want to spread their misery just so they can feel better.
How do I know this? Well, you've heard the old song, It Never Rains in California? Turns out, that’s not exactly true, and I’ve written about it extensively. You see, we can go for long periods with no rain, and drought is not uncommon, but when it does come, oh boy, does it come. Deluges. Oceans dropping on our heads all at once.
On the long list of Gov. Gavin Newsom’s failures is the state’s inability to capture a significant portion of this water; instead, it just flows its way merrily to the Pacific Ocean while our betters tell us we’re in a water crisis. Plans for facilities to solve this obvious issue sit stuck in the Sacramento red tape swamp for decades, while our leaders constantly claim that we live in a world of lack. This despite being, as Gov. Hair Gel likes to remind us, the fifth-largest economy in the world.
GO AWAY: It's Raining Cats and Dogs in California—but What Happens to All That Water?
Usually, the rain here in SoCal comes, and then it goes, and then the glorious 70-degree weather the region is famous for comes back. But not this time. It’s been raining here seemingly forever. It started before Christmas, and even though we’ve had the nice day here and there, it keeps coming back. Drizzle. Rain. Drizzle. Repeat.
It’s depressing. It’s deflating. It sucks your motivation. I should be taking down the Christmas decorations on the lawn today, but no way I’m going out there. It’s cold, it’s wet, it’s nasty. I’m sitting in here shivering and pondering crawling back into bed.
(Yes, I've lived in tough weather climes before, and thrived, but there's something about endless drizzle and gray in a supposedly warm weather climate that just seems to flout the laws of nature.)
And then I realized: this is what life is permanently like in Seattle. I went to a wedding there once, and we never saw the sky; it was all, drip drip drip, grey grey grey. It was enough to drive you insane. There’s a reason the Chinese Water Torture works — it attacks the essential wiring of your brain.
And that’s what I think has happened to the residents of Seattle. As to what happened to the residents of those other fallen cities, I don’t know.
What I do know is that if the rain doesn’t stop here soon, I’m going to lose my mind.
This should be against the law:
Cold front moving south currently through Ventura County where heavy rain of 2"+ has been occuring. The front will weaken quite a bit as it moves south and east through the rest of SoCal this evening as winds shift to out of the west. Still .50"+ if rain will fall over most of… pic.twitter.com/E8SFWNkMHd
