GROSS MISMANAGEMENT: It's been an awful year for CEO Marc Dones. Just a few days ago, I posted a list of recent failures under Dones' watch. And I asked if it could get any worse for Dones. I guess not since he quit.

-His most recent controversy involved multiple homeless… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
CRISIS MANAGEMENT WASN'T ENOUGH: Earlier this month, KCRHA dropped this promo video featuring embattled CEO Marc Dones who rarely takes questions from the media. It launched as his agency was being accused of incompetence and mismanagement. #Seattle

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
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

BREAKING: Criminal squatter Steve Hickey just filed for Chapter 13 bankruptcy, hoping to shield himself from paying back hundreds of thousands of dollars in back rent, and eviction from a Ravensdale property. His house of cards is finally starting to crumble.
🧵👇 Image
Image
In court documents, he only claims to have $50K or less in assets. Image
But in this recent video, Hickey boasts about making tons of cash as a social media influencer through social media revenue, sponsorships, and licensing deals with tv stations. By my estimate, Hickey likely clears more than $200K a year.

Thousands of illegals are being transported through Seattle's King County Airport. Many will be deported.
I started documenting. But far-left activists with La Resistencia tried to disrupt my coverage. Problem for them, they don't know the law.
The woman trying to disrupt my coverage is Maru Mora-Villalpando with La Resistencia. Her group sent out an error riddled press release about this incident with zero evidence to back up their claims. Why does the far-left activist class get so triggered by the truth?

Pt.1 Image
I was on assignment for Frontlines TPUSA. I showed them my press credentials. But they still blocked me until King County Sheriff's showed up and scolded the activists. They had to let me in since it's a public space. 🤣
