Vote counting in WA continues the pattern. Every since 2000 late ballots swing the election toward the progressive candidate. This year King Co. added 100,000 ballots after the deadline.

This time it's Seattle Mayor race. The incompetent vs. the socialist. 

Seattle mayoral race tightens as Katie Wilson edges ahead of Bruce Harrell in latest count

Wilson 133,469 49.83% 

Harrell 133,378 49.79%

They don't even try to hide it anymore.

“ toward the progressive more leftist candidate”

FIFY.

Don’t let them keep that happy-sounding word.

So? ... It's the ordinary culture -- left and right -- center too as of the past few years.

It's what got The Donald into the White House in 2016 (And likewise-celebrity fluff-ball Boris Johnson into #10.)

It's here too. Comments post "news" links going to social media.  Today's news agencies aren't even what they were 40 years ago, and a large majority of the Web's political-emotion-influencing "TRVTH" sites are as shallow as a film of dried mouse pee.

"Culture" is it.  How things are done.  Emotional influences (yes, that.)  How thinking is performed.

Today, here, is far different from 20 years ago on LGF.

Find someone who was "in country", who was shot at, in combat missions.

We have a culture today where influencers tout and posture -- even the "War" President (who dodged the draft three months after I got my honorable after a six year enlistment, two combat cruises on Yankee Station but I was never shot at.

Hegseth is a Henry VIII codpiece.  That's all he is.  Ball-less fraud.  That encompasses much of today's America.

I have a copy of a book titled "Chesty", and also another titled "Fortunate Son" (autobiography by Lewis B. Puller Jr., the son of the first.)  Today's America hasn't the cojones to read either.  As a too-broad generalization, we are a nation of Donald Trumps.

(grin) ... Indeed.

(seriously) Also for a fellow who was a year behind me at CLHS.  Dave Battle.  He was the senior NCO in the company of Marines who were just waking up at the Beirut airport in 1983.
