A Captain's Examination of The Seattle Times

Captain K vs. The Seattle Times?

Truth be told, I owe a debt of gratitude to the outlet.  Last year, they did for me what I would have never done in an entire military career – they promoted me to Captain of the United States Navy.  This was an oversight, for sure, but a humorous one.

You see, a Captain in the Navy holds the pay grade of O-6.  A Captain of the United States Army, Air Force, or Marine Corps holds the pay grade of O-3.  Navy O-3s are called Lieutenants.  The Seattle Times promoted me three pay grades, and transferred me into a different branch, all to make me the equivalent of what my actual branch (the Army) would call a Colonel.

That was the work of Jim Brunner, a mainstay for that outlet, who attended an event I spoke at in Clark County last September for Patriots United Washington (the cover photo for this article was snapped at that event).  I’ve had my fun dunking on that miscue for a solid year now, and frankly, thought things had ended between us.  Enter my appearance on behalf of Doug Basler, candidate for King County Director of Elections, in Black Diamond on September 17, 2023.

Remember, I will always own it if I get a prediction or assessment wrong.  I botched this one too, because as I do when I’m in an area governed by left-wing radicals, I usually make the wisecrack that I don’t see any mainstream media, “because I don’t see anyone wearing a mask.”  They are adjusting their tactics, sending the bravest among them to reconnoiter election integrity-themed events in a crowd full of those belonging to the 62% of Americans who believe the 2020 election was decided by widespread cheating, risking near-certain death at the hands of a virus that causes the common cold, only targets political gatherings, and doesn’t strike those sitting down at tables, shopping at big box stores, or sitting together on airplanes.

Danny Westneat took “point” for The Seattle Times on that sunny afternoon – penning a piece so laughablethat I’ve decided to write an entire article on it that will be read by more people than read his original treatise.  I was referred to as a traveling conspiracy salesman, which to me is a hell of a way to earn a living.  We will see how many people can handle 271 days on the road in a calendar year, cramming a giant body into small spaces in planes and automobiles, while often getting stiffed on expenses, but hey, we will go with it.  I maintain that Washington had the most fraudulent election of all, when considering how many fraudulent votes per elector I’ve estimated there:

590,000 estimated fraudulent votes (lenient on King, Snohomish, Pierce, Clark, and Spokane Counties)

divided by

12 electors

49,167 fraudulent votes per elector

I’ve spoken in Washington, by my count, 9 times since 2021.  Here’s how the Democrat presidential nominees have fared in total votes since 2004:

2004

Kerry 1,510,201

Margin 7.2%, 205,307 votes

2008

Obama 1,750,848

Margin 17.1%, 521,632 votes

(McCain loss of 75,678 votes)

Big national left-wing surge that made Washington a household blue state.

2012

Obama 1,755,396

Margin 14.8%, 464,726 votes

(Romney gain of 61,454 votes)

First election of all-mail in ballots, no noticeable uptick for turnout.

2016

Clinton 1,742,718

Margin 15.7%, 520,971 votes

(Trump loss of 68,923 votes)

Washington is one of the few blue states with a rapidly growing population, yet Clinton has fewer votes than Obama eight years before because left-wing grassroots feel disenfranchised from nomination process.  Washington casts four electoral votes for someone other than Clinton.  Democrat and Republican vote totals nearly identical three elections straight, despite two straight elections of mail-in voting.

2020

Biden 2,369,612

Margin 19.2%, 784,961 votes

(Trump gain of 362,904 votes)

Democrats finally move the needle (pun not intended), and with a gain of votes 2.5 times the size of Barack Obama’s (a candidate who campaigned and had charisma) gain in a year (2008) that saw the national electorate swing ten points left from 2004, and with a sizeable loss of Republican votes for McCain.  Trump’s 2020 gain, after three straight flat Republican showings, is 50% larger than Obama’s from 2008, yet Biden the non-campaigning natural wonder sets all-time performance records in a state that has already had mail-in voting and ballot harvesting.

So yes, Seattle Times, you can continue with your snippy comments as you sift your way to your office through a sidewalk tunnel of feces, homeless encampments, and syringes.  Donald Trump lost Washington by no more than 5.6%, and if I’m light (and I almost certainly am) on the five impact counties listed above, the state could have been down to razor-thin margins.

“The Civil War was bad,” Keshel tells the crowd. “But this is something that threatens to completely undo the sinews of the republic if we don’t get control of the system of elections.”

You’re damn right, Danny.  This Constitutional Republic is based on consent of the governed, which implies that the government is not violating the rights of citizens and affording them equal protection under the law by providing a system of elections that doesn’t disenfranchise the legal votes of American citizens.  Instead, criminals operate systems of elections that provide absolutely no transparency, enable widespread cheating, and punish those who cry foul.

And Danny – if the elections in Washington are so spectacular, why did incumbent (Democrat) elections director Julie Wise ditch her October 30 debate with Basler at the last minute, citing a bogus personal issue?

Why does the state need automatic voter registration, universal mail-in ballots automatically mailed to every registration, and ballot harvesting if the corrupt, entrenched political bureaucrats do not fear being unseated as had been the case for the corrupt in power all the way up until just about the last decade?  Don’t piss down my back and tell me it is raining.  Until you’re willing to explain how a doddering fool who no one wanted as president the first two times he ran eclipsed every known political record and shattered every known trend, indicator, bellwether, and predictor known in presidential politics for 132 years while not bothering to campaign against a popular incumbent, you will continue to attempt to mislead the people with moronic pieces that omit the most critical, analytical segments of an hour-long presentation that do exactly what you highlighted – make crowds of onlookers gasp in horror at the things journalists beholden to the political regime enable.
