SPEECHLESS: @mattteamjesus is a Seattle street preacher regularly targeted by people who oppose his Bible reading at public events. I spent hours following him today at #TacomaPride. He had 3 Bibles trashed, 2 signs stolen, and only 1 person standing up for him. This is America.
ALLOWED TO STAY: Police did not interfere w/ @mattteamjesus and other street preachers at #TacomaPride. A Spanish speaking church was also present. Officers were well aware of 1st Amendment rights to express religious beliefs on public property, even with hostile crowd. #Tacoma
BIBLES DESTROYED: I tracked down two of the three Bibles that I saw getting pulverized today. Imagine if someone did this to the Quran, Islam's holy book? #Christianity #America #Tacoma @700club @CTmagazine @newsmax @realDailyWire @ChristianPost @CBNNews @reachjulieroys
SO MANY DYNAMICS: I started following @mattteamjesus's story because he was getting targeted by Antifa and far left activists in Seattle. They accuse him of hating #LGBTQ folks. Even some Christians question his approach. But LISTEN to what he actually says when confronted.
SATANIC TEMPLE DEFENDS PREACHER…SORT OF: Spoke to member of the @satanic_temple_ Seattle chapter. He says the people walking around #TacomaPride with upside down crosses on their foreheads do not believe in Satan and agrees Bibles should not be shredded, even if people disagree.
MEANWHILE: @mattteamjesus had no issues with Tacoma Police. But getting ready to sue Seattle Police for allegedly violating his 1st Amendment rights when he was arrested for obstruction as he tried to read his Bible in the presence of a hostile crowd.
FINAL LOOK: Tough to see @mattteamjesus targeted by hostile mob at #TacomaPride. But overall, vast majority of #LGBTQ community+allies were respectful and welcoming. Especially Elaine, as she picked up pieces of his shredded Bible. Her gracious actions spoke louder than words.

NEW: Border Czar Tom Homan needs to scrutinize the un-American actions of La Resistencia, a far-left activist group that wants to abolish ICE and shut down the Northwest Detention Center in Tacoma, WA.
Once again, protesters disrupted my coverage. 🧵👇
Their founder and leader is Maru Mora Villalpando, a green-card holder from Mexico.
A few months ago, she tried to bully me at Boeing Field in Seattle, where illegals are being flown out for deportation. But she doesn't know the First Amendment.
Villalpando needs a damn primer on what it means to be a green-card holder.

NEW: Issaquah, WA cops say a 55 year old woman is facing charges for Malicious Mischief in the Third Degree for her role in the Tesla keying incident that has now gone viral.
After multiple leads, I can confidently say the suspect is Kamelia Enzler. 🧵👇
Enzler lives in Bellevue, which is only a 10 minute drive from the location of this incident.
Several neighbors spotted her now infamous white Toyota 4Runner in the driveway with the matching license plate and bike rack. The Internet wins again. Image
Enzler has wiped her social media profiles and is now laying low according to people who know her. Image

NEW: Never imagined my eyes would be bleeding after researching a story about government waste.
But credit @Wake_upWA for exposing how taxpayer dollars funded a Seattle men's masturbation club called "Rain City Jacks."
Founder Paul Rosenberg discusses his ethos on sex.
🧵👇
Last year, state records show the WA Arts Commission gave Pan Eros $2K. Rain City Jacks is one of the non-profit's programs. Image

WARNING: The Rain City Jacks website is graphic with X-rated content. I had to use the blur feature quite often on this thread.

BREAKING: After two years of hell, Bellevue deadbeat tenants Sang and Youjin Kim have finally been kicked out of their rental property.
After numerous legal rulings against them, the Kim's were supposed to vacate by Saturday. But they went past the deadline and left a mess.🧵👇
It's unclear where the Kim's are headed. But they have kids in the Bellevue school district and it appears they have found another property. If they are renting, good luck to the landlord. Image
Reality is, housing court is still backed up, evictions are delayed, and mom & pop landlords are losing rights.
The Kim's and other serial squatters are just taking advantage of failed polices pushed by lawmakers such as former State Sen. Patty Kuderer.

Nice job @UnderWashington for calling out the WA Democrats who care more about the rights of pedophiles and groomers. Parents and child advocates should be hammering these lawmakers. The contact list is below. 🧵👇 Image

Looks like King County activist judge Veronica Galvan is celebrating a banner year of releasing violent offenders.
Last month she allowed Millorz Canales to be on home detention even though prosecutors wanted him to remain behind bars.
Several days later, he allegedly went on a rampage, tying a 14 year old to a tree, stabbing him multiple times, cutting out his organs, and leaving him to die.
Canales was arrested again and is now facing new charges.
So who’s holding Galvan accountable for her troubling decisions on the bench?Image
