LIES, INACCURACIES, AND EXAGGERATIONS: Many of you know activist blogger Erica C. Barnett(@ericacbarnett) blocked me on twitter last year after I punched back and called her out for shoddy reporting. But she continues to play CHEAP and takes shots at me publicola.com… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
FALSE REPORTING: Barnett starts off the piece by referencing my firing from KOMO last year by saying I encouraged viewers to come to a rally held by the Proud Boys. I never did that in person or on any of my social media platforms. And my coverage never even aired on KOMO. She… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
ENTIRE PAPER TRAIL: On Wednesday March 8, I reached out to Kirkland media contact Sue Romero and told her I would show up. Prior to this email, I never met Sue in my life. So I gave her some background on my work. Under my current media fellowship at … twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
RSVP: Here’s the proof @kirklandgov gave me permission to attend the presser.



#Kirkland
MORE INACCURACIES: If Barnett’s reporting wasn’t so lazy, she could have simply Googled my name and found my by-line @millcreekview. I’m also a regular contributor and collaborator with the @LynnwoodTimes, most recently covering the opioid clinic saga with publisher and owner… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
@millcreekview @LynnwoodTimes MY BY-LINE AT MILLCREEK VIEW: The publisher and owner of this Snohomish County newspaper also vouches for me and credits me for being a vital part of the team. Email included. @millcreekview
MY PARTNERSHIP WITH LYNNWOOD TIMES: I worked side by side with @lynnwoodtimes and Mario Lotmore on several stories and plan to do even more collaborations. I was primarily responsible for the paper's video coverage on this initial report.

lynnwoodtimes.com/2023/01/13/lyn…
LYNNWOOD TIMES DOUBLING DOWN: Publisher and owner of the @LynnwoodTimes doubling down again this afternoon, vouching for my partnership with his Snohomish County paper. @ericacbarnett never called Millcreek View(@millcreekview) or Lynnwood Times. Would have saved her from the… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
MORE EXAGGERATIONS AND INACCURACIES: After the encounter in Kirkland, I did not produce a story for this event and none of this made it on to Discovery Institute platforms. I only released a video showing my encounter with Kirkland’s media handler. And once again, my firing from… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
WHAT I ACTUALLY POSTED FROM KIRKLAND: Last week, I told you about a press conference I attended at Kirkland City Hall. Multiple elected officials including Governor Jay Inslee(@GovInslee) and King County Executive Dow Constantine(@kcexec) spoke at the … twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
JUST GOOGLE IT: Once again, Erica C. Barnett(@ericacbarnett) needs a primer on how to use Google. She closes out her hit piece by referencing my exclusive story about 15 year old Marcelles Orr, the young man who chased me with an axe in downtown Seattle in January. What she fails… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
SHE DOESN’T UNDERSTAND THE POWER OF VIDEO: Erica C. Barnett(@ericacbarnett) has failed to transition into the digital age or understand how video now drives all conversations. But this grandma does. That’s why she told me to show everything. Btw, Marcelles is safe and remains… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
YOU BE THE JUDGE: Do you think I intentionally go after the FAR-LEFT activists, or do you think they come after me? 🙃 Video don't lie Erica. @ericacbarnett
IN CLOSING: Well, that's 45 minutes of my life I'm not getting back after writing this thread. 😅
Bottom line, I have produced all the concrete evidence to refute virtually every key allegation in her piece. I stand by everything I have said and I have the truth on my side.
It's… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Depending who you ask, King County Fire Commissioner Steve Hickey is a serial con artist or a faithful public servant moonlighting as an independent journalist. Either way, he's now facing numerous legal challenges and his entire reputation is on the line.
In part two of our series, YouTube journalist Tyler Oliveira(@tyleraloevera) and I take a closer look at fresh allegations and Hickey's troubled past.
In part one, Oliveira and I confronted Hickey with squatting claims. He's refusing to leave a house belonging to another woman, claiming it should be his. Hickey has already been sanctioned in court for not providing all documents during discovery.
Hickey files are now open. More Seattle media digging. The current controversy revolves around his role as a King County Fire Commissioner. He's on leave from duties as the investigation into his alleged abuse of power continues.

BREAKING: Embattled King County Fire District 47 Commissioner Steve Hickey announced Friday evening that he's taking a leave of absence. Multiple sources tell me Hickey is accused of abusing his power on the job and using station equipment to grow his social media profile.
A first responder says after showing up to an emergency scene, Hickey "does a triage, requests a motor vehicle accident response, and then goes back to his car and live streams on TikTok before fire even arrives, leaving his patient with PD that he just triaged."Image
All of this comes to light after YouTube journalist Tyler Oliveira(@tyleraloevera) and I launched an investigation into Hickey's alleged "squatting" in a Ravensdale house. He's also accused of construction hustles claiming dozens of victims.

At this point, Bellevue serial squatters Sang and Youjin Kim are arguably the most hated couple in WA. They are facing a fourth eviction after failing to pay rent again in Jaskaran Singh's $2M house. Up to this point, they have not faced any vigilantes trying to drive them out.
But on Tuesday, that all changed. Authorities confirm the Kim's got "swatted." That's when someone calls 911 and reports a fake emergency. When law and order breaks down, this is what happens.
Kim's failed to pay again, even after being bailed out by King County Bar Association's Housing Justice Project.
Bellevue deadbeat tenant Sang Kim makes a cameo appearance in Tyler Oliveira's story. Bottom line, now the world gets to see the broken King County court system and the failed laws that have enabled groups like Housing Justice Project to thrive.

BREAKING: Deadbeat tenants Sang and Youjin Kim are now facing eviction for the fourth time after failing to pay rent on a $2M house in Bellevue. Landlord Jaskaran Singh knows the courts are still backed up but is patiently waiting it out.
He's now ramping up for more protests and is also running for WA State Senate to help fix this broken system.
Meanwhile, it's unclear if King County Bar Association's Housing Justice Project will represent the Kim's this time around. HJP has been getting hammered for using close to $90K in taxpayer dollars to bail out these Korean nationals.Image
Image
The Kim's have been served with a fourth unlawful detainer. At this point, most reasonable people know that these people are not low-income and have a long track record of running these hustles.

While Singh faces another long drawn out process, he is trying to make the best of this situation. He's now running for a State Senate seat, hoping to change the system that's hurting so many mom & pop landlords.

Final look Sunday evening at the University of Washington Hamas encampment. After taking over the Quad for weeks, protesters worked out a deal with UW leaders and promised to take it down by Monday. Otherwise, the far-left activists and commies drew my portrait and asked me to sign it. They're going to miss me. 🙃😍
Christian street preacher Matthew Meinecke says he's not leaving the Quad until school leaders formally apologize to Jewish students. He wants others to bring Israeli and American flags to establish a new encampment until demands are met.
Meinecke says he's been targeted by Antifa and other far-left activists since he set up a tent alongside Muslim and Arab students in early May. But he also credits these students for advocating for him when others wanted him out.

Monday afternoon, University of Washington School of Public Health Prof. Amy Hagopian(@amyhagopian) was tabling in the Hamas encampment. She was answering questions about the Israel-Hamas war. We know what side she is on. But when one student decided to record her sitting down in this public space, she immediately became defensive and accused him of being hostile. Bizarre reaction to basic filming.
Hagopian is a self proclaimed social justice warrior. She has no problem sharing her hot takes. She calls Israel a "terrorist state."

Image
She also shares plenty of opinions without context.
