Still a Three-way Race, So Far

Three-way at Present, but More Might Jump In

F.W. Mirror columnist, Bob Roegner, "decided" that there are only 2 candidates for position #1 for Federal Way City Council despite that 3, including myself, have signed up for it with the Public Disclosure Commission to date.

Roegner's sentence in his most recent column is noted, as follows:

  • "I speculated in an earlier column, Assefa-Dawson’s perceived lack of party loyalty could make her vulnerable to a challenge from her own party. Sure enough, her opponent is Democrat labor representative Anthony Murrietta."
Roegner could have written: "Sure enough, one of her opponents is ...."  He appears to be trying to shape the race as just between Assefa-Dawson and Murrietta.

Unintentional oversight or strategic?  I can't say for sure, but my hunch is the latter.  So this is your mainstream news media at work, deciding who the main candidates are for your "convenience" [isn't that nice of them?], and setting up the election on paper according to their own biases.  This is one of the reasons why cynics about politics don't vote, but please vote anyway based on your own independent choice.

-- Mark Greene, candidate for Federal Way City Council (Position 1)

Globalist Folly

We tried to get by without ever mentioning Colin Kaepernick's name on our blogs or websites, but the fake news media is running with the ball, so to speak, so just to let them know that their, Kaepernick's  and LeBron James' propaganda doesn't work with the Revived Citizens Party, the RCP stands as follows: Starting with multimillionaire Kaepernick's decision last year to metaphorically thumb his nose at the National Anthem, "The Star Spangled Banner," and to sit on the bench or kneel on a knee while the Anthem was playing, because he thinks America has too many faults or something like that, he became the Pied Piper of disrespecting national symbols, particularly the Anthem, apparently until the country yields to whatever his particular idea of what a nation should be is.  However, even if Kaepernick's concerns do merit some kind of national rectification, which they may well indeed, when would our natio...

Mark Greene for Federal Way Mayor

I am officially announcing for Mayor of Federal Way, today, as I was able to obtain sufficient resources to file with the Elections Department on May 18th, 2017, and able to run a full campaign until the August 1st Primary, and hopefully beyond. This All-American Relief campaign will start picking up steam around the beginning of June, as now I'm concentrating on getting about 100 signs on the ground.  Next week, I will be sending out press releases to the major publications in our area: the  Times , the  News Tribune , and the  Mirror.   For more information about this campaign of common sense philosophy and patriotic fervor, see my website and keep up with the posts on this blog, as they usually come about twice a week or more. -- Mark Greene, Official Candidate for Mayor of Federal Way Campaign Website:  ALL-AMERICAN RELIEF Campaign Blog:   FW Politics

Fool Them

Weakness and Strongness The computer put a red line under "strongness" in my subtitle.  Too bad, I like it, so I'm keeping that "non-word." Call it my invention, if you will.  You cannot imagine the emotions that welled up in me last night watching an old 1980s movie called "St. Elmo's Fire."  It's a movie that I never saw at the time that it first ran, circa 1985, but kind of watched it since then, off and on, after it aged 20 years or so, and began seeing it on television from time to time.  Last night, I came upon it about 15 minutes from the start, and watched it more closely than ever until the end.  I love the theme music, though non-lyrical, it's part of the magic of the movie, I believe.  In the 80s, I was just slightly older than the main characters in the movie.  It really brought back a lot of memories from that decade, particularly a period from the years 1980 - 1981, and it...
