Washington Eagle Forum

What happens when democrats rule instead of serve - “the people groan”

One of the greatest speeches by Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas marking America’s upcoming 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.

The Clarence Thomas Lecture at The University of Texas at Austin Drawing on his extensive tenure as a jurist, Justice Clarence Thoma...

“When the Public Records Act was passed, there were 10 exemptions...today, there are almost 700. And there are new proposals every legislative session.”

"Washington Democrats sold the 9.9% millionaires tax as a way to make the ultra-wealthy pay more while delivering relief to ordinary people through sales tax exemptions on hygiene products, over-the-counter medications, and even diapers. But from Seattle to Sultan and Bellevue to Bellingham, cities across the state are now learning that relief comes at their expense."

Washington cities face budget hit from millionaires tax exemptions WA cities face millions in lost sales tax revenue from the new millionaires tax, and the state's promise to backfill those losses is far from guaranteed.

"Good fiscal policies matter and some of the states in our region are acting in the taxpayers' best interest"

State policies matter for taxpayers and the business climate Those states that prioritize fiscal discipline and a low regulatory and tax burden are doing well. The opposite is true if a state fails to keep its fiscal and regulatory house in order.

“Israel has delivered more humanitarian aid to Gaza than any military in history has provided to an enemy population during wartime. More than 94,000 trucks carrying over 1.8 million tons of aid have entered the territory. Israel has supported hospitals, repaired water pipelines, increased access to clean water, and enabled over 36,000 patients to leave Gaza for treatment abroad.”

“Fair Share” the Liberal/Democrat Myth

Record Taxes, Persistent Deficits, and the Fair Share Myth That Won't Die After raising taxes by $9 billion in a single year and somehow still facing a $2.3 billion deficit, you’d think state lawmakers would pause before lecturing any

"The Lord replies, 'I have seen violence done to the helpless and I have heard the groans of the poor. Now I will rise up to rescue them, as they have longed me to do." ~ Psalm 12:5

If you turn on the news right now, you’ll see Iran burning from the effects of Islam, but if you turn on the news in America, you’ll find people protesting in the streets for the rights of people to practice Sharia law.

We live in a world where the enemy is active and working to make Islam a dominant part of our culture and our nation.

Pray for Iran. Pray for America.

Prayer Points:
1. Pray for the safety and deliverance of the Iranian people
2. Pray for President Trump and for Prime Minister Netanyahu to have God's wisdom on what to do and how to respond to this genocide
3. Pray for our military for safety and precision in their roles.
4. Pray for the media to report honestly about this.
5. Pray for the hearts of many in our country to open to the Truth and to repent.

Intercessors for America

The Wall Street Journal doesn't hold back when talking about Washington state Democrats' last decade of overspending, and raising your taxes to try and cover for it:

"Democratic Gov. Bob Ferguson last month pitched a 9.9% tax on income exceeding $1 million amid a $2.3 billion budget shortfall.

Revenue hasn’t kept pace with the 60% surge in spending since the start of the pandemic, despite many tax increases."

"[Since] Democrats gained full control of the statehouse in 2017..."

"They swiftly raised the tax on real estate sales from a flat 1.28% to a progressive rate that tops out at 3% on properties over $3 million..."

"...they enacted a 7% tax on capital gains exceeding $250,000, disguised as an “excise tax” on asset sales."

"...They also raised the estate tax to 35% from 20% on estates exceeding $9 million."

"...They also extended the state’s 6.5% sales tax this fall to business services such as advertising, website design and temporary staffing."

"The [gross receipts business tax] rate this fall rose to 2.1% from 1.75% for service businesses with a surcharge on financial institutions rising to 1.5% from 1.2%."

"The state’s cap-and-tax program adds about 56 cents a gallon to the price of gasoline. This summer Democrats raised the gasoline tax by six cents to 55 cents a gallon..."

"On Jan. 1, the tax increased by another 0.5 percentage-points on many large businesses, followed by another hike in 2027."

In Session 2026 you should expect an Income Tax, a Head Tax, and a Millionaire Wealth Tax on unrealized gains to all opass and be signed by Governor Bob Ferguson.
