Woman with NY license plate refuses to
drive through red states because she doesn’t
feel safe: ‘Am I being obtuse?’

Original Article

A viral tweet is indicative of the unhinged fear that liberals dramatize when it comes to visiting red states such as Texas, Kentucky, or Florida and how unsafe one New York resident claims to feel driving through conservative America. “My husband thinks I’m crazy because I refuse to visit or even drive THROUGH a red state because I dont feel safe. Would you drive through Kentucky or Texas with NY State license plates? Am I being obtuse?” a liberal New Yorker tweeted. The tweet set off a ton of reactions on social media. It currently has over 9,600 likes, so either the bots are very busy or

Well that makes us even. After decades of visiting New York City, even during the 70's, you couldn't pay me enough now to set foot in Manhattan. In the 70's, at least they would arrest and prosecute the criminals. Now they are let go within minutes to commit more crimes, for which they will also not be detained nor even tried. Here's a challenge to the fearful lady: walk from one end of Manhattan to the other at any time of the day or night, any then let us know about your fears.

Your chances of being killed, raped, or robbed are 100 times higher in blue cities and states than red states. Feel free to visit the red states as most are a welcoming crowd. Just be sure to leave your liberal voting standards behind if you decide to stay.

Now she knows how Floridinians feel when the pass through north-east red states and are stopped because there is a record of them having a CCW Permit in Florida. The Floridinian is then subjected to a search for illegal types of firearms allowed in Florida but not in the north-east state. In one state they even make sure the ammunition is of the type permitted for carry in that state. In short a liberal is complaining about a problem that conservatives live with daily.

Perhaps she is wanted in red states for not being able to follow street signs, can't read speed limits, has tons of unpaid warrants for not paying tons of citations, drives on sidewalks, goes through red lights, in fact treats everything as she sees it and not the law. Hope the dame stays out of my state, or has a terrible accident that we never hear from her again while she takes a dirt nap!

Heck, I have a lifetime goal of never ever stepping foot in the state of Illinois for the remainder of my life, airports included. Which, since I travel to Wisconsin at least once a year, means I have to choose airlines that do not use O'Hare or Midway as their hubs. Fortunately, there is Delta and Southwest, Although I miss Midwest Express.

Well, thank God!! We certainly don't need anymore NY plated vehicles with their obnoxious drivers cutting people off here in Florida and constantly, arrogantly telling us "how things are done in New York!!" However, you are more than welcome to drive in Phillie, Chicongo, Harlem, and any other blue state inner cities that you feel so safe driving through. Just make sure your life insurance is paid up!!

To those non-New Yorkers out there, please understand that this lady is not representative of the entire state. She probably lives in an urban area, such as the City, Buffalo, Albany or Syracuse or perhaps Long Island. Outside of those enclaves, the rest of the state (in other words, upstate NY) is very conservative. Unfortunately, NYC politics disproportionately influences the politics of Albany so that NYC gets its way at the expense of the rest of the state. There are still good people living in the state who unfortunately suffer because of the rigged political system there and who also get lumped in with the bad "apple" minority. Like this obtuse lady.

She is demonstrating how soft the liberal mind is. Just another emotional wreck conditioned and educated by her TV. There are plenty of men just like this hysterical women. Also, hate to break it to some, but there are dopes like this in your state. Maybe you are married to one. In any case, if you are making assumptions about the driver based on their license plate, maybe you need to focus more on vehicle dynamics, situational awareness, stuff like that. After riding a motorcycle for years, I am pretty skeptical about the attention and skills of every vehicle within striking distance when I drive. More times that I like that skepticism has been confirmed.

Obtuse isn't the word. And nothing will likely happen to you in a "red" state unless you enter one of its "blue" cities. In Ohio, you'll be just fine in Zanesville, or Circleville, or Lebanon. Toledo? Cleveland? Dayton? Keep the car doors locked.

I was working on a song parody based on Rodgers and Hart's Manhattan, composed in 1926, and popularized by Ella Fitzgerald. You people probably know the words- here is the beginning of the chorus - I'll take Manhattan, the Bronx and Staten Island, too... I encourage you to write your own parody - I don't want to hog all the fun, but here's an easy start - Avoid Manhattan, the Bronx and Staten Island, too They're living in a zoo....

Increasing The IRS Annual Budget By Seven
Times Doesn’t Add Up

Posted by Imright 8/6/2022 5:35:51 AM Post Reply
The talk in the media is about a “beefed-up” IRS. The IRS budget for FY 2022 totals nearly $14 billion ($11.9 billion in appropriated funds) with a full-time equivalent (FTE) staff ceiling of 79,808 (75,533 from appropriated funding.) Now, the Democrat-controlled Congress, at the behest of the Biden Administration, wants to take that up an additional almost $80 billion, with 1% going to Department of the Treasury offices other than the IRS. That adds up to nearly $93 billion, seven times this year’s budget. SEVEN TIMES.

Since Dr. Mehmat Oz won the GOP nomination in Pennsylvania to run for the state’s open senate seat, he’s been running one of the most tepid campaigns I’ve ever seen. His opponent, Democrat John Fetterman, suffered a stroke last May after admittedly ignoring his doctor for years and hasn’t been seen on the campaign trail since. Despite those obvious issues surrounding Fetterman’s health, Oz has attempted to take the high road. Predictably, Fetterman hasn’t returned the favor and has been viciously attacking Oz as being from New Jersey on social media. In fact, the Democrat’s entire campaign has been to make that charge over and over.

Those mayors, seemingly unwittingly, are making the governors’ point — that the administration has created a disaster at the US-Mexico line, requiring an immediate policy shift to protect lives and state and local finances. It started in April. Fed up with federal releases of large numbers of migrants into overwhelmed small towns in his state (including Uvalde), Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) began

Indiana's legislature became the first in the nation on Friday to pass new legislation restricting access to abortions since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. Other states have already banned abortion, thanks to pre-existing 'trigger laws' that went into effect when Roe was repealed, but Indiana is the first to usher in a new law. The measure now goes to Republican Governor Eric Holcomb, who has not indicated whether he will sign it. The ban includes limited exceptions, including in cases of rape and incest, and to protect the life and physical health of the mother.

A cloud of thick smoke hangs over the occupied city of Kherson in Ukraine. Its very stench is evidence of Russian war crimes, on a scale almost too sickening to contemplate. The smoke comes from mobile incinerators that are running night and day. Vladimir Putin's paranoid soldiers are burning the corpses of Ukrainian citizens tortured and murdered on suspicion of helping the resistance. And they are dispatching the bodies of their own comrades too — hundreds of them. The Russians are killed by the constant pounding of Ukrainian shells from artillery placements surrounding the city and by highly organised, secret units of freedom fighters.

When WNBA star Brittney Griner was convicted on drug charges Thursday, she was not merely sentenced to nine years in a normal jail or prison. She was given time in a Russian penal colony, which is quite different than a normal correctional facility. Russia's penal colonies are descendants of the notorious Soviet-era gulags where prisoners have been subjected to harsh treatment and poor conditions. Prisoners in the system have been beaten by other inmates, endured torture and forced to watch Russian propaganda for hours every day in what's known as "awareness raising." Following several days of Griner's trial, which stemmed

Gov. Ron Desantis recently made the boss move of suspending a State Attorney who signed a pledge to not enforce Florida’s abortion and childhood transgender transition laws. Now, Andrew Warren is pledging to defy DeSantis, saying he will continue to do his job. That happened on CBS News, with Warren accusing his state’s abortion law of being “unconstitutional” while slamming DeSantis. On Thursday, I did a write-up on Warren’s initial reaction, predicting that he’d be on CNN soon. Well, I guess I was off a little bit, but the point remains the same. These liberal outlets love to try to paint DeSantis as some kind of fascist

In February, American basketball star Brittney Griner was arrested at a Moscow airport after attempting to bring cannabis oil into the country, which is illegal according to Russian law. In the almost six months since being apprehended, Griner has lingered in a less-than-comfortable prison cell. On Thursday, the legal proceedings of the case came to a close when a Russian court delivered a guilty verdict, followed by a harsh sentence of nine years behind bars. None of Thursday’s developments should have come as a surprise to anyone. As we’ve noted before, 99% of all Russian prosecutions end with a guilty verdict, and with a maximum available sentence of ten years,

The New York Times is blaming Republican governors for “causing havoc” by busing border crossers welcomed by the Biden administration to Democrat sanctuary cities. As Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) and Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey (R) continue busing border crossers and illegal aliens to Democrat sanctuary cities, the Times published a piece titled “GOP Governors Cause Havoc by Busing Migrants to East Coast” where Republicans are seemingly blamed for President Joe Biden’s expansive Catch and Release operation. The Times reports: A political tactic by the governors of Texas and Arizona to offload the problems caused by record levels of migration at the border is beginning to hit home

Former Vice President Mike Pence continues to undermine President Trump’s efforts to get conservative warriors elected to office. Pence is entering into the Wisconsin Republican contest for governor with an establishment endorsement. President Trump has endorsed self-made businessman Tim Michels in the Wisconsin gubernatorial primary next Tuesday. The Republican nominee will face incumbent Governor Tony Evers, a former teacher and radical leftist. Pence made clear his continued opposition to Trump this Wednesday—this time when he joined former Wisconsin Governor (and NeverTrump 2016 presidential candidate) Scott Walker to endorse the establishment candidate against conservative and grassroots favorite Michels, Rebecca Kleefisch.

New York officials are warning that hundreds of Empire state residents may already be infected with the devastating polio virus after it was detected in wastewater of a second county in the state. State surveillance detected presence of the polio virus in at least two different areas of Orange County, New York—around an hours drive from New York City—in June and July. It comes within weeks of officials announcing a confirmed polio case in Rockland County—just northwest of the Big Apple's Bronx borough. The virus was also detected in Rockland wastewater last month.(Snip)Given his lack of international travel during the standard infection period

Actress Anne Heche has been intubated in a critical condition after crashing her Mini into a garage before speeding off and smashing it into an apartment block where it exploded. The 53-year-old suffered horrific burns during the collision and was recorded being dragged out of the mangled wreck by firefighters after it burst into flames in LA around 11am. She writhed around on the stretcher before she was bundled into the back of an ambulance and rushed to a nerby intensive car unit. Shocking images also show the burnt out wreckage of her Mini Clubman as it was towed out of a hedge across the road from a school

Beyond Meat’s sales have fizzled rather than sizzled after fast-food trials of its product had customers asking, “Where’s the beef?” McDonald’s is the latest fast-food giant to complete a trial of a Beyond Meat plant-based product (the McPlant burger). JPMorgan Chase & Co. analyst Ken Goldman released a market research note that indicated the product was being broadly discontinued in the U.S. last Thursday. The two companies signed a three-year global distribution deal in 2021.(Snip)Other trials at Panda Express and Yum! Brands (KFC, Taco Bell, and Pizza Hut) have also ended without a subsequent product launch. Beyond Meat products at Dunkin’, Hardee’s, and A&W
