The pandemic sparked a restlessness in American life, with many families opting to move in search of more space or a lower cost of living. That trend continued in 2022, with hundreds of thousands of people uprooting their lives and moving to new states. But some regions are benefitting from an influx of new residents — a trend that can help those areas grow their economies and expand their tax bases — while others are witnessing a net loss of residents. About 25 U.S. states saw more people move within their boundaries last year, while about 25 states lost residents or were relatively flat,

New residents are always welcome with one serious condition. Please leave any and all of your liberal voting mindsets at the state line. Otherwise, Florida is guaranteed to become another Blue sht hole like the places people are moving from. Keep Florida Red for all to enjoy.

The writer lists, basically, the economics issues that drive people away, but doesn't mention woke-ism, trash, violence, and other down-to-earth survival problems. Not good enough.

CBS (Commie Broadcast Silliness) told me that the pandemic cause American to get restless, not out of control crime, high taxes or the overall crappyness of places like NYC, LA, SF, Chicago, Fithydelphia, Baltimore. It's the pandemic, geee thanks CBS for not lying to me.

None of this is shocking. Even some lieberals (actually leftist morons) have common sense (I know it doesn't happen often). The thing is, their delicate sensibilities are overridden by the urge to survive, hence the exodus from hellish locations they helped create. The rest of us are saddled with the burden they create by moving nearby. Even though elections really don't mean anything in many locations, due to commiecrat cheating, there are still states where election laws actually exist. Good luck trying to convince any of them to change their ways!

A little amazed to see not one word on the fact every state people moved to is run by Republicans. And every state people are fleeing from are controlled by Demonrats. Talk about leaving out the obvious.

Luckily in my state there are almost no jobs and almost no housing. We get a few cars with communist states plates (usually NY) passing through, but thankfully most dont stop except to rob a gas station or skip out on a restaurant bill.

What could eventually be more divisive than having politics divide the USA by states?! Sending illegal aliens mostly to dem politically dominated states could hasten that dangerous divide. The dem/socialists must be thinking, 'checkmate,' but the American voters can see what is happening every time we go to the grocery store and try to find something worth watching on TV. Unethical, calculating leftist politicos no longer seem to appreciate the Constitutional principles of Liberty in America, much less, love the USA. They are even destroying the education of children. Every dem policy results in more destruction. Their polices lead to strife all around.

Thats good for the house, giving Red states more population will also give us more seats in the House but, it is bad for the Presidential races cause these states still have votes in the electoral college.

Blowing the whistle: How the GOP has used
whistleblowers to expose FBI controversies

Posted by Garnet 2/2/2023 2:57:53 PM Post Reply
The Republican-led House Judiciary Committee is seeking testimony from FBI whistleblowers to attempt to get around the Biden administration's "stonewalling" on providing information about the investigations into former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden. The new revelation about congressional oversight on the classified documents saga is just the latest example of how Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) has used whistleblowers to shed light on issues inside the FBI.Jordan and other Republicans have previously revealed that FBI whistleblowers have alleged serious flaws in how the bureau has conducted major investigations, including those related to Hunter Biden, the Capitol riot, and parental protests at school board meetings.
Trump's line of attack on DeSantis is

Donald Trump is not stupid. His opponents have always underestimated him because of the colloquial way he talks–sounding vastly different than most people in the highly educated class. Not sounding educated, they assume he isn’t and by extension isn’t smart. But in recent weeks Trump has been acting as if he is stupid, and I have to say I am surprised. Trump has been attacking Ron DeSantis on the COVID lockdown issue, arguing that the governor’s reputation as a freedom fighter is unearned. Trump even implies that DeSantis was something of a COVID fascist, while Trump himself was fighting to reopen the American economy. That is a profoundly stupid line of attack.

Republicans have long said the Hunter Biden laptop scandal is really a Joe Biden story. Now, it looks like the Joe Biden classified documents scandal is also a Hunter Biden story. Two Biden scandals are merging into one. The convergence point is President Joe Biden's house in Wilmington, Delaware. The public learned in the last few weeks that Biden stored a number of classified documents there, both in his garage, famously next to his vintage Corvette, and in his personal library.How many documents? Biden will not say. His personal lawyer, Bob Bauer, released a statement saying that after a search of the house,

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) on Tuesday brushed off former President Trump’s latest attacks with a simple message: Check the scoreboard. Asked during a news conference about Trump’s criticism over the weekend of his approach to the COVID-19 pandemic, DeSantis responded with a reminder that he won reelection last year by the largest margin of any Republican Florida governor in the state’s modern history. “When you’re an elected executive, you have to make all kinds of decisions. You got to steer that ship. And the good thing is, is that the people are able to render a judgment on that — whether they reelect you or not,” DeSantis said.
DEI Has Already Killed Public Education 10 replies
Posted by Garnet 1/30/2023 1:39:45 AM Post Reply
During the last few years, most conservatives have become at least dimly aware that leftist ideology, in the guise of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), has infected public education. It’s unlikely, however, that many Americans realize just how far the disease has advanced. It has long since spread beyond a few courses embedded into the social studies curricula of secondary schools and elite colleges. Public school students as young as 9 and 10 years of age effortlessly recite leftist shibboleths even as they descend into functional illiteracy in reading, writing, math, and science.

In the days before George Washington was to set a historic precedent by taking the oath of office and becoming the first president of the United States, he was often heard to say, “I walk on untrodden ground.” The reluctant Washington no doubt understood that, as one Mount Vernon historian wrote, “the precedents he set must make the presidency powerful enough to function effectively in the national government, but at the same time these practices could not show any tendency toward monarchy or dictatorship.” He also understood that how he constructed and conducted this first presidency would set standards and practices for every president to follow.
Biden Document Discovery Doesn’t Add Up 10 replies

Last week, CBS “Face the Nation” host Margaret Brennan asked Democratic Rep. Dan Goldman why President Biden would dispatch his personal attorney, who didn’t have proper security clearance, to his Delaware home to search for classified documents. Presumably, Brennan believed that when searching for classified documents, one should have the credentials to actually read them. Brennan’s focus on who was reviewing Biden’s papers touched on a potentially interesting line of inquiry. The question hanging in the air, however, relates to the discovery that started this whole process: Why would lawyers be “packing up” Biden’s office
Biden's 'Jim Crow 2.0' Lie About Georgia's
Election Law Just Got Shredded to Pieces

The election security law passed by Republican lawmakers in Georgia and signed into law by the Peach State's GOP Governor Brian Kemp drew some of the most outlandish claims from Democrats who, for some reason, oppose making it harder to cheat and easier to vote in elections. President Biden called the election security law "Jim Crow 2.0" and urged Major League Baseball to yank the All-Star Game from Atlanta, which they did — all based on a lie. Woke corporations signed an open letter and used it to virtue signal their opposition to what they alleged would be racist disenfranchisement of voters in Georgia.

In a 1789 letter to the British philosopher Richard Price, Thomas Jefferson observed that “wherever the people are well informed they can be trusted with their own government.” By that standard, it’s no longer clear that the American electorate is equipped for the task. Jefferson was, of course, an ardent advocate of a free press whose primary function would be to provide the voters with enough information about the government’s actions to assess the soundness of its policies. Unfortunately, it’s unlikely that he would dignify today’s corporate media with the appellation “free press.”

Much of the commentary concerning the presence of classified documents at the Penn Biden Center office and the President’s Delaware home has focused on the delay between the discovery and the public revelation of that discovery. And it is difficult to believe that the timing was apolitical. There is another question about the timing, however, that no one seems to have asked: Why were classified documents that had been in Biden’s possession since 2017 suddenly found less than 90 days after the FBI raid on former President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago compound?

Congressional Republicans, buoyed by their recent takeover of the House, have announced plans for a new committee, a special committee, a GOP-run committee, that will look at past years of government abuses committed by federal authorities against U.S. citizens — including against Donald Trump — and set the foundations in place, finally, for accountability. Democrats have reacted with horror. Of course they have.
 Cue the world’s smallest violin. Democrats are finally going to get what they deserve — a taste of their own witch-hunty ways.

A Princeton University student argued in a Sunday night opinion article that the school’s Honor Code unfairly impacts racial minorities, citing parallels to the U.S. criminal justice system.

Emilly Santos, author of the op-ed and Princeton University student, likened the code to the United States criminal justice system to propose that it “disadvantages” minority students.
