#failed leader

While some challenges have been beyond her control, many are of her own making. Frequent, unrelenting homeless sweeps instead of meeting her campaign promise to build 1,000 tiny homes in her first year inflamed the problem. Rather than aiding efforts to add revenue for homelessness services and affordable housing–first with the 2018 head tax and then with the 2020 JumpStart corporate payroll tax–Durkan stood in the way out of deference to Amazon and the Seattle Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce. Those actions hang like a cloud over her record on homelessness, despite efforts to gussy up the narrative.

Transportation projects faced budget crunches in her term as they often do, but instead of swooping in to save the day, Mayor Durkan paused and canceled projects throwing her predecessor under the bus–which thankfully she also delayed so it didn’t run him over. While talking a big game about moving away from car dependency, the biggest projects to open in her tenure were car projects.

When the murder of George Floyd happened and protests against police erupted, Mayor Durkan sided with police and property over the wellbeing of her residents. For weeks, she refused to say unequivocally that officers must display their identification after many obscured them with tape, and she resisted calls to ban tear gas, escalating the violence and mistrust between protesters and police. That was a choice. And the whole neighborhood of Capitol Hill suffered from it, whether they were protesting or not, as clouds of tear gas seeped into apartment buildings. This month we learned the U.S. District Court ruled that the City violated a restraining order by continuing to tear gas this summer. What a sad legacy.

Would anyone with a functioning brain believe what is presented below?

It has never been suggested at this site that Obama has a functioning brain.

His goal, as his actions have shown is to bring America to her knees while helping his Muslim brothers.

Negotiating in good faith with terrorists?  A completely absurd proposition.

How Obama Caused ISIS

Comment by Jim Campbell, Citizen Journalist Oath Keeper and Patriot.

      Obama’s incessant dawdling, another mark of his failed leadership and command coupled with not listening to the members of his Joint Chiefs of Staff  and firing flag officers who disagreed with him are indeed the reason ISIS today flourishes.

    Obama has done virtually everything he could get away with to destroy…
