The voters gave Trump an Mandate, apparently Inslee ignores the will of the people.
He offered no congratulations on Trump win, instead a bitter rant. Apparently Inslee by the statement below he thinks those who voted for Trump like me, were not worth respect of the voter's, vote nation wide, were trash!

Inslee statement on general election results
November 06, 2024
Gov. Jay Inslee released the following statement in response to Tuesday’s general election results.
“I would like to congratulate all of our state elected leaders. For the first time in generations, voters picked a full slate of Democrats to lead our nine statewide elected offices. Their leadership will be more crucial than ever during the next four years, and we couldn’t ask for a better team to protect Washington values. Bob Ferguson is a sharp public servant who will be an excellent governor. Nick Brown will be a dynamic attorney general. Washingtonians have only seen a preview of Nick’s potential as a fighter for justice.
“Last night, Washingtonians sent an unequivocal message that they want action on pollution and climate change. Washingtonians also made clear they want to preserve the equity of our tax system with the capital gains tax on the super wealthy. When they or a loved one need long-term care, they want the WA Cares Act to be there for them.
“I want to thank Joe Biden and Kamala Harris for their service to our country. Many are understandably worried about the outcome of the presidential election, but Washingtonians know we’ve been here before. Washington has strong statutes that protect our values, and when Trump messed with our state we sued him 97 times – only losing two cases on the merits while he was in office. Our state and others formed enduring alliances for progress during Trump’s first term in office, and we will continue to push the needle of progress for a more perfect union.”

IN FOCUS & LOCAL MEETINGS:
IN FOCUS: ACF Announces $42 Million in Grant Awards to Build Economic Stability and Support Family Well-Being.
The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services announced grant awards totaling approximately $44 million across two ACF program offices – the Office of Community Services (OCS) and the Office of Child Support Services (OCSS) – to improve the financial well-being of children and families.
“Economic security and the health and well-being of families are inextricably linked,” said HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra. “This funding will contribute to affordable housing and employment services for families and provide critical investments in communities that need it most. The Biden-Harris Administration will continue to invest and implement support services that help American families and improve their financial security.”
OCS is awarding 30 recipients a total of $18 million in Community Economic Development (CED) grants and nine recipients approximately $2 million in Affordable Housing and Supportive Services Demonstration (AHSSD) grants. CED grants support economic development in underinvested areas by funding business development and the creation of high quality, permanent jobs for individuals with low incomes. AHSSD strengthens supportive services for residents of affordable housing to build individual and family safety, stability, and economic mobility.
“Our community services and child support programs provide critical resources to the children and families we serve,” said ACF Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary Jeff Hild. “The innovative work funded by these grant awards will increase financial stability, security and independence for families across the country.”
Recently, OCS also announced the fourth cohort of the Diaper Distribution Demonstration and Research Pilot, including $8.4 million in awards to expand diaper distribution and additional wraparound support services for caregivers in six states and one tribe. This funding will also provide $7.5 million in supplemental awards to 13 grant recipients from the first two cohorts of the Diaper Distribution Pilot. This brings the total funding allocated for the Diaper Distribution Pilot to $40.2 million since September 2022. Diaper Distribution Pilot projects will now serve 24 states and four tribal communities.
“We are proud to announce the release of critical funding for three key initiatives: Community Economic Development, the Affordable Housing and Supportive Services Demonstration, and the Diaper Distribution Demonstration Program,” said OCS Deputy Director Janelle George. “These programs reflect our commitment to strengthening communities by addressing some of the most pressing needs faced by families today. By investing in sustainable economic growth, ensuring access to affordable housing and support services, and providing basic necessities like diapers, we are working together to build more resilient, equitable, and supportive communities across the nation.”
In addition, the Office of Child Support Services is awarding $4.7 million to six state and two tribal child support agencies to implement the Next Generation Child Support Employment Services Demonstration (NextGen). The NextGen Demonstration builds on the lessons learned from the Child Support Noncustodial Parent Employment Demonstration. Its goal is to expand and enhance child support-led employment services for noncustodial parents. These services increase the reliable payment of child support and improve the financial well-being of children. Additionally, ACF awarded $3.4 million to one state for the Technical Assistance and Evaluation of Next Generation Child Support Employment Services (NextGen TAE). NextGen TAE will provide technical assistance and evaluate the NextGen demonstration projects (and up to six tribal programs awarded Section 1115 waivers for similar projects). The project period for all grants is five years.
“NextGen includes critical components to understanding how to best help parents who are struggling to pay child support,” said ACF Office of Child Support Services Commissioner Tanguler Gray. “This service will greatly aid the national child support program in helping parents become employed so they can provide financial support for their children.”

Glenn Beck’s POWERFUL message to Democrats after Trump’s win.
Donald Trump's 2024 victory has taken many on the left by shock. How could the majority of Americans support a fascist, racist, xenophobic felon who promised to be a dictator "on day one"? Well, maybe that's not what they support. Glenn reviews 2 New York Times op-eds that are perfect examples of what the legacy media has convinced half the country to believe about Trump and his supporters. Then, he explains what Trump supporters actually believe, and it couldn't be any more different.--Glenn Beck

Mark Levin Audio Rewind - 11/8/24
On Friday’s Mark Levin Show, an Iranian murder-for-hire plot against President Trump has been revealed. Isn’t that enough to take out this regime? Instead, the Biden administration subsidizes them. Also, it’s amazing how few leaders have spoken out against what happened in Amsterdam.
Thousands of free Palestine jihadists waited to attack Jews at a soccer match. There has been a revolution by immigration all over the world. You’re witnessing a 2nd Muslim crusade led by jihadists. Ambassador Danny Danon calls in and explains that what happened in Amsterdam was a horrible pogrom, which was all orchestrated. Later, the media will not change. They are plotting right now on how to destroy Trump’s agenda. Afterward, Sen Rick Scott calls in to discuss his run for Senate Republican leader. Scott will provide radical change if elected, just like Trump promised. We don’t want the same old in the Senate. Finally, Gene Hamilton, VP, and General Counsel of America First Legal, joins Mark to discuss their lawsuit victory. They won a lawsuit against the “Biden-Harris Administration’s Department of Homeland Security regarding an unlawful program that would have provided administrative amnesty and a pathway to citizenship to hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens in the United States.---Mark Levin
