YouTube ^ | April 13, 2026 | Inspector James

120 workers in Kent, Washington showed up to work -- and found out their jobs are gone.

Not because the company is failing... but because it’s expanding somewhere else.

In this video, we break down what really happened with Rise Baking Company, why those jobs are moving to Utah, and how the timing lines up with Washington’s new tax law signed by Bob Ferguson.

Boo. Frikking. Hoo.

Well, directed towards any Lefties or Liberals there. There are Conservatives in Washington state, we know that, and I feel sympathy for them.

“There are Conservatives in Washington state,”

And the red states get redder and pick up more electoral votes too.

Yes. I sympathize with them. I am in the same boat. My wife is not inclined to leave, which means...I won’t either.

If Biden were still the President, the 120 workers at Rise Baking could open a DayCare and Biden would make sure they made at least 6 digit payments from the Feds.

Washington has a long history of government being dominated by mentally aberrant leftists. This attempt to confiscate money from innocent citizens is just the latest.

The red states are picking up more votes. But they are not necessarily redder.

Reports are that TX is trending toward PURPLE. GA is already PURPLE. In GA the 2 leading R candidates for governor are busy throwing dirt at each other. This is not attractive to the new residents of GA who fled the dirt up north.

If there is dirt to throw, Rs need to reject both and find one without dirt.

Sounds like it

For every action there’s a reaction.
