Matt Markovich looks at the changing trends in media consumption and news sources and the costs associated with it 

Don’t get me wrong, I love a great headline, and Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene’s challenge/threat to Republicans is significant political theater. Sadly, it's also pretty disturbing.

To catch you up, Greene posted on the social platform X the following message to her Republican colleagues in the House and Senate: "If we are going to release ethics reports and rip apart our own that Trump has appointed, then put it ALL out there for the American people to see."

It’s hard to communicate uncertainty, especially when the weather has a mind of its own. That’s why Charlie feels for Seattle meteorologists right now. They’re trying their best to predict a storm that’s as fickle as, well, Seattle weather. And they know that if they get it wrong, people will be cranky tomorrow, accusing them of hyping something up.

Listner Michael Goldenkranz has an idea to help serve those who are underepresented in the court of law and those going throgh the process of becoming a lawyer. 

The postmortem on the Harris campaign is underway, and here’s a number that stands out.

According to The Washington Examiner, nearly $4 million went to a firm called Village Marketing. Their mission? Pay thousands of social media influencers to hype up Harris and tear down Trump. Now, at that point, can we still call them influencers or paid propagandists?

As President Elect Trump begins filling his cabinet roles, it becomes clear a theme is emerging. 

Loyalty - the very thing that likely hurt Kamala Harris.

Exit polls show the top issue for voters this cycle was the economy. President Biden’s pointed out that America has the best economy in the world, comparatively speaking. And from a detached perspective, sure, maybe that’s true. It’s been hard everywhere.

Dave Ross takes a look at the election results through the lens of sports, and confirms, you can still be friends with someone who voted differently than you. 

Kamala Harris wasn’t the only loser on election night, Left-wing media outlets suffered a stinging defeat.

Governor Jay Inslee -- the state's most powerful Democrat -- proudly proclaimed yesterday that all statewide offices are now held by Democrats.

He claimed the last time that happened was when Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) was president 80-something years ago.

That prompted our Matt Markovich to dig up a familiar tune - to explain why our state is turning from blue to dark blue.
