DEMOCRACY: Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson Backs Effort to Ignore the Will of the People on Barring Men From Female Sports
November 12, 2026
Screencap of Twitter/X video.
The state of Washington voted last week to bar biological men from competing in female sports. The measure won in 36 out of 39 counties, so it was a very decisive win.
And yet Katie Wilson, the mayor of Seattle, is now siding with leftists who want to override the measure, completely ignoring the will of the people. These are the same people who are always talking about their sacred devotion to democracy.
When things don’t go their way, suddenly democracy doesn’t matter.
Seattle mayor backs effort to block girls’ sports initiative that passed in 36 of Washington’s 39 counties
The statement was 148 words. Not one of those words was “girls.”
Tuesday, Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson said that she was going to back the Seattle School Board’s unanimous vote to pursue legal action against Initiative 638 — which would enforce separation of boys and girls in K-12 sports in Washington state.
Voters passed the measure by a 13-point margin last week, and it won in 36 of the Evergreen State’s 39 counties. But after deliberating behind closed doors Monday, the Seattle School Board voted publicly to authorize potential legal action against the measure without hearing public testimony. And the mayor fully approves…
Remember, Seattle was one of the epicenters of the “No Kings” movement, where tens of thousands rallied against a president they accused of disregarding the will of the people. Yet when Washington voters overwhelmingly supported a measure Wilson opposes, she had no problem backing an effort to overturn it. Apparently, the will of the people is only worth defending when the people vote the right way.
Capping off Wilson’s statement was a paragraph of political platitudes so empty it would make even a seasoned politician blush. She wants to build a Seattle “where all young people can thrive as their authentic selves,” and “create inclusive learning environments where every student has the opportunity to reach their full potential.”
Look at this statement from Mayor Wilson.

Colorado Gave Free Healthcare to Illegal Immigrants – Now the Governor is Admitting It’s Not Sustainable

In the coming months, we are going to hear a lot of Democrats talking about ‘Medicare for all.’ This is one of their top issues. Bernie Sanders has been talking about it for years and the left thinks their moment has finally arrived.
Unfortunately for them, there are plenty of examples of why this doesn’t work and would actually be a disaster.
In Colorado, Governor Jared Polis was hailed by the left for offering ‘free’ healthcare to illegal immigrants back in 2022. He i now admitting that the program is unsustainable and is recommending hundreds of millions in cuts.
Colorado Gov Moves To Gut Health Care Coverage for Illegal Immigrant Children Amid Spiraling Medicaid Costs
Colorado Democrats and immigration activists cheered after Gov. Jared Polis (D.) signed a signature 2022 health care law providing coverage to children and “pregnant persons” living in the United States illegally. Four years later, Polis, now a lame duck, is calling to gut the Cover All Coloradans program in his final budget proposal in an attempt to address the state’s spiraling Medicaid costs, and left-wing groups aren’t happy.
Polis released his budget on the eve of the midterm elections—one day after the legally mandated deadline to do so—and proposed $600 million in state Medicaid cuts. He called Medicaid’s growth “unsustainable” and told reporters it was on track to “crowd out everything else, including education.”
Buried in the proposal is a section calling to “replace Cover All Coloradans” by redirecting funds to a separate program, the Primary Care Fund, which offers financial assistance to low-income, uninsured residents for health care. Illegal immigrant children are eligible for that benefit but would lose the comprehensive insurance plan provided by Cover All Coloradans. A fact sheet notes that Polis aims “to end Cover All Coloradans coverage for children,” but “coverage for pregnant and postpartum adults would continue.”
Polis’s budget would strip some $10 million from Cover All Coloradans, with about half of that going to the Primary Care Fund.
All the while, economists warned that the costs of covering illegal aliens in Medicaid would bankrupt states. Progressives countered that the expansion would save money by allowing illegal aliens to seek cheaper treatment in clinics rather than clog emergency rooms with health issues that could have been resolved less expensively. That’s the same logic that Democrats argued with ObamaCare, and the progressive math there turned out to be entirely wrong as well. As Polis discovered in Colorado, the preventive-care math doesn’t work in Medicaid, either.
This is just one state – Colorado. Imagine these numbers but applied to the entire country.
Jared Polis is quietly trying to kill the health program he created for kids of illegal immigrants — after costs exploded to 7x what Colorado predicted.
In 2022 he signed Cover All Coloradans, giving coverage to children and pregnant women in the country illegally. Now, in his… pic.twitter.com/c8HTrQfrSN
Blue Jays Grovel in Apology to Muslims After Santander Shares Posts Warning of Islam and Sharia Law
November 12, 2026
The Toronto Blue Jays issued a formal apology Thursday to the Muslim community and the team’s fans for the “pain and harm” caused by outfielder Anthony Santander’s social media posts.
The Venezuelan player had shared posts criticizing Islam and warning that the election of Michigan’s new senator would impose Sharia law in the United States.
The videos, which he deleted two days later, included a Christian preacher stating, “There is no such thing as kind Muslims,” along with another suggesting Sharia law would be imposed after Abdul El-Sayed was elected to the Senate in Michigan.

Additional shared posts had captions such as “America voted for Sharia last night” and “Islam is not peaceful.”
Team president and CEO Mark Shapiro said in a statement that Blue Jays officials met with leaders in Toronto’s Muslim communities, who shared the harm caused by the posts.
“The opportunity to listen and learn was important and reaffirms our beliefs and values as an organization. We condemn Islamophobia and all forms of hate,” Shapiro stated. “The Blue Jays are deeply sorry to the Muslim community and our fans for the pain and harm these Islamophobic posts have caused. We will work with leaders in Muslim communities to fight against all forms of hate. The Blue Jays will continue to ensure our organization reflects the inclusive community we are proud to call home.”
General manager Ross Atkins, speaking Tuesday at Major League Baseball’s GM meetings in Las Vegas, said he had spoken with Santander and asked him to address the controversy publicly, according to a report from the Globe and Mail
Atkins told reporters, “There really aren’t words to express my level of disappointment.”
Santander, however, has yet to publicly comment or apologize, and neither he nor his sports management agency has responded to messages from multiple outlets seeking comment.
Santander, 32, signed a five-year, $92.5 million contract with Toronto in 2025 after eight seasons with the Baltimore Orioles.
The Blue Jays are Canada’s only MLB team.
Statistics Canada data shows more than 1.78 million Muslims nationwide, with about 10 percent of Toronto’s 2.8 million residents identifying as Muslim.
Navy Quietly Relieves Female Commander of USS Michael Murphy Just Before Homecoming from 11-Month Combat Deployment in Operation Epic Fury — Cites Only “Loss of Confidence”
November 12, 2026
Commander Caitlin Cunningham
The U.S. Navy quietly relieved Commander Caitlin Cunningham as commanding officer of the Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Michael Murphy (DDG-112) on September 27, 2026.
Cmdr. Caitlin Cunningham, commanding officer of the Arleigh Burke-class destroyer USS Michael Murphy (DDG-112), was relieved of her duties on September 27, 2026, over what Navy officials described as a “loss of confidence.”
The Navy never publicly announced the dismissal when it happened.
The stunning development was first reported Thursday by USNI News, which confirmed the removal with a Navy spokesperson.
Cunningham had been in command for less than a year, having taken over the warship on October 24, 2025.
And the Navy has offered no detailed explanation for why she was suddenly removed from one of America’s frontline warships.
According to USNI News, no additional information about the circumstances surrounding Cunningham’s dismissal was immediately available.
More from the news outlet:
The Navy quietly relieved the commanding officer of a naval destroyer initially deployed as part of the Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group, USNI News has learned.
The Navy relieved Cmdr. Caitlin Cunningham on Sept. 27 due to a loss of confidence, a Navy spokesperson confirmed Tuesday to USNI News. Cunningham’s dismissal occurred just under a year into her tenure as the skipper of USS Michael Murphy (DDG-112).
No additional information was immediately available. Cunningham assumed the leadership of the destroyer on Oct. 24, 2025, ahead of the ship’s deployment.
Michael Murphy deployed on Dec. 1 to be part of the Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group. Michael Murphy, homeported in Pearl Harbor, initially sailed to the Indo-Pacific region as a destroyer escort before heading to the Middle East following the carrier strike group’s orders as part of Operation Epic Fury and the ongoing naval blockade.
USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) left the Middle East in August with escorts USS Frank E. Petersen Jr. (DDG-121) and USS Robert Smalls (CG-62). Michael Murphy stayed behind.
The destroyer left the Middle East in the middle of October, heading to the Philippines in late October and then Guam in the beginning of November, according to Navy photos.
The destroyer is expected home this week, putting the ship’s deployment at 346 days, about 24 days longer than Lincoln. The Navy has warned families that 10-11 month deployments will be the new standard for the next couple of years.
On Tuesday, Commander, Naval Surface Group Middle Pacific put out a video on Facebook showing homecoming planning for Michael Murphy. The video did not include a date for its return to Pearl Harbor.
Judge in Alaska Denies Peltola Campaign Access to Records for Absentee Ballots
November 12, 2026
A judge in Alaska denied the Peltola campaign access to records for absentee ballots.
The Peltola campaign sued Alaska last week over rejected absentee ballots as the decoy Dan Sullivan siphons thousands of votes.
The Associated Press reported that as of Thursday evening with 86% of the vote tallied, Democrat Mary Peltola is ahead of Republican incumbent Dan Sullivan by approximately 3,975 votes.
Peltola has 121,487 votes at 48.88% and GOP Senator Dan Sullivan has 117,512 votes at 47.28%.
The decoy Dan Sullivan has 4,100 votes at 1.65%.
On Wednesday evening, Superior Court Judge Thomas Matthews ruled against the Peltola campaign.
An Alaska judge denied a request from former Rep. Mary Peltola’s (D-Alaska) Senate campaign for a list of rejected absentee ballots amid the state’s competitive Senate election, which has yet to be called.
Superior Court Judge Thomas Matthews ruled that Alaska’s Division of Election (DOE) is “currently busy processing ballots from the 2026 general election” and “simply lacks the capacity to generate the report from” the voter registration database (VREM) at the Peltola campaign’s behest.
“Such electronic services are not mandatory, but permissive. And the request must be reasonable,” Matthews continued in his 17-page ruling. “Even if the request were otherwise considered reasonable outside the peak election time of year, it is simply not reasonable nor required right now.”
“Because of the difficulty in disclosing VREMS records, the DOE is not required to disclose VREMS records,” the ruling concluded.
The Justice Department launched an aggressive criminal investigation into Daniel J. Sullivan. Federal prosecutors have issued more than 100 subpoenas.
The Trump Justice Department last Tuesday sent 20 criminal target letters to 20 Democrats, including notorious Deep State lawyer Marc Elias, over the Decoy Dan Sullivan scheme.
Marc Elias and other Democrats are the target of the Justice Department’s criminal investigation into whether Democrat operatives in the Peltola campaign were behind a plot to confuse Alaska voters by adding a spoiler candidate named Dan Sullivan to the ballot.
