    Huh. Months into a nonsense audit in AZ that has found nothing, 5 GOP lawmakers in Washington want to audit election results here. And if that audit proves exactly what they allege (which is nonsense)? Biden still wins by hundreds of thousands of votes. Huh.

    Here are the "adjusted" WA election results displayed at Lindell's event this week... You can't make this stuff up, but they did.

    This story about Portland is devastating. Read to the last line, when you may have a visceral reaction like I did.

    On July 10, a source texted me and asked if I knew what was going on downtown. This is what's going on downtown. and I report.

    Gov issues vaccine mandate for state workers. WSU already has its own. But WSU's football coach, who, it so happens, is also the state's highest paid employee, isn't vaccinated and won't say why. Even WSU fan websites are irate.

    I know Tigres is missing a few of their players, but their roster is worth $82M and six months ago lost 1-0 to Bayern Munich in the Club World Cup Final. Sounders are absolutely ruthless tonight.
