U-Haul’s Election Lesson
Posted By: 4250Luis, 1/19/2026 3:36:20 PM
Pennsylvania is hemorrhaging residents and resources. And it’s been happening for years. The recent U-Haul Growth Index shows that people are voting with their feet against Pennsylvania and other purple and blue states that have become inhospitable as places to live, work, and raise a family. And these out-migrators are heading to redder states that welcome them. In 2025, Texas, Florida, North Carolina, and Tennessee topped U-Haul’s ‘in-migration’ states, measured by one-way customer moves. Meanwhile, Pennsylvania ranked an abysmal 44th. The impact of losing friends and families—and their wealth—to other states should be the canary in the coal mine for Pennsylvanians getting ready for another election year in 2026.

President Trump told The Post he posted private text messages from French President Emmanuel Macron and NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte because they “made my point” — as he revealed he spent Monday halting a prison break in Syria by European terrorists.
Trump posted fawning messages from Macron and Rutte praising the US president for unspecified actions in Syria — and pleading with him for dialogue on his bid to annex Greenland — hours before world leaders gather at the Davos summit in Switzerland.
“It just made my point. They’re saying, ‘Oh gee, let’s have dinner, let’s do this, let’s do that.’ It just made my point,”

Don Lemon did something miraculous on Sunday: He managed to prove he is even more despicable than we previously thought.
What a feat for that putz.
The former CNN anchor livestreamed himself joining a band of lunatic anti-ICE protesters who stormed the Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, after reports that a pastor there might be affiliated with ICE — though there’s been no confirmation of such a link. Lemon, who is no longer affiliated with a news outlet, enthusiastically embedded with the group that barged into the house of God, shattering the peace and security of a Sunday service and exhibiting behavior befitting a psychiatric ward at Bellevue.
This story out of the Netherlands is the best example of "toxic empathy" that is poisoning the West.
Stek Oost, in Amsterdam, was sold as the "solution" to both the housing and refugee crises in the country. A plan would have 125 Dutch students and 125 migrants living in the same building to "aid integration." What happened next was predictable by everyone except the authorities who green-lit this experiment. But students living there told Dutch investigative documentary programme Zembla they faced multiple sexual assaults, harassment, violence, stalking and even claimed a gang rape had taken place.
The Republican National Committee Chair Joe Gruters argued on 77 WABC radio’s the “Cats Roundtable" that the Democrats' shift further to the left is a signal that Republicans will be able to "defy history" and maintain control of Congress following the 2026 midterm elections. He said the election of figures like New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and other so-called rogue radicals indicates that the Democratic Party is willing to embrace extremism. As many conservative commentators have voiced, the election most likely to implement common-sense policies aligned with its party platform is the one the American people will choose to grant political power.

He is the one tossing concepts on the whiteboard, storyboarding strong possibilities, and forcing the political system to grapple with problems it has ignored for decades. He understands something most career politicians never grasp: not every idea survives first contact with reality. But no progress happens without someone willing to propose ideas in the first place. That is why the latest round of criticism of Trump’s proposal to cap credit card interest rates misses the point entirely.
Much of the conservative movement has bristled at the idea, and the concerns are serious.
It was probably no surprise that Rep. Ilhan Omar, arguably the most corrupt of Minneapolis’ Somali community, announced the Congressional Progressive Caucus has “adopted an official position” to defund Immigration & Customs Enforcement.
“Our caucus members will oppose all funding for immigration enforcement in any immigration enforcement bills until meaningful reforms are enacted to end militarized policing practices,” said the woman accused of marrying her brother to evade U.S. immigration laws. Omar’s message was praised by radical groups everywhere, many tied to the left’s “defund the police” movement amid 2020’s Black Lives Matter riots.

In this episode of "Try to Control Your Shock and Amazement"...
As we've known for years, America's powerful teachers' unions have demonstrated that they're far more interested in promoting and shilling for left-wing causes than providing quality education to America's kids.
In a glaring recent example, as RedState's Becky Noble reported in mid-December, the National Education Association (NEA) — the nation's largest teachers' union — hosted a typical teachers' union conference.
The topic? "Advancing LGBTQ+ Justice." Shocked? Me neither.
So, yeah, raise your hand if you think the conference spent even a modicum of time focused on improving the quality of education in America — vs. ranting about insane left-wing idiocy.
The Government’s illogical energy policies… Jess Phillips’s illogical approach to safeguarding…the illogical selling off buying off of the Chagos Islands… It seems to any half-thinking person that the Government is behaving in a way that is completely illogical if it is concerned about its own or the country’s success. However, the unrolling of all of the above policies are not the result of illogical, messy or on-the-hoof thinking. Quite the opposite: the actions of this Labour Government are the result of clear, exact and rigid logic.
A leading proponent of face masks as a means of countering the spread of respiratory infections appears to have changed her mind. Professor Trish Greenhalgh, University of Oxford – described as the “high priestess” of the face mask movement, who even appeared on her X feed wearing two face masks during the COVID-19 years – has endorsed a letter to the WHO in which it is claimed, as reported in the Guardian, “There is ‘no rational justification remaining for prioritising or using’ the surgical masks that are ubiquitous in hospitals and clinics globally, given their ‘inadequate protection against airborne pathogens’.”
“There are decades where nothing happens, and there are weeks where decades happen.”
That’s a quote often attributed (perhaps incorrectly) to Vladimir Lenin — but whoever said it first, it’s certainly true of the last week or so.
Just look at the headlines.
In Iran, the mullahs who have ruled since 1979 are collapsing in the face of widespread popular revolt.
For nearly all of the 47 years since Jimmy Carter allowed Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini to take power in the fallacious belief that it would somehow advance the cause of human rights, Iran has been a major rival to the United States in the region and around the world.
President Trump on Tuesday threatened to take “very strong action” against the Iranian regime if anti-government protesters are executed.
“I haven’t heard about the hanging. If they hang ’em, you’re gonna see some things that – I don’t know what you’re – where you come from and what your thought process is, but you’ll perhaps be very happy,” Trump told “CBS Evening News” anchor Tony Dokoupil during an interview in Detroit.
When Dokoupil asked the president to clarify what he meant, Trump responded: “If they do such a thing, we will take very strong action.” More than 2,000 Iranians have been killed amid the regime’s brutal crackdown on protesters,

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick was heckled by former Vice President Al Gore during a World Economic Forum (WEF) event in Davos, Switzerland on Tuesday, according to news coverage.
Gore booed Lutnick while the Commerce secretary was giving a speech at an invite-only dinner event hosted by BlackRock CEO Larry Fink, Mediaite reported on Wednesday. The report comes after Lutnick criticized Europe during his remarks, which prompted European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde to suddenly leave the dinner event, multiple outlets reported.
“I sat and listened to his remarks,” Gore said Wednesday in a statement provided to Mediaite. “I didn’t interrupt him in any way. It’s no secret that I think this

There has been extensive excitement, in both directions, over the activist stunt that took place in St. Paul this weekend involving disgraced former CNN journalist Don Lemon. That is to say, social media has been all over his participation, but the conventional media apparatus has been notably muted in addressing what went on Sunday. This event could turn out to be a crucial fulcrum in the way the nation is headed.
As we have reported, an organized group from the Black Lives Matter movement convened on Sunday to bull rush a church service in the city under the guise
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey have reportedly refused to cooperate with immigration officials and released 500 criminal illegals back into the community. (snip) [O]ne of the things we have asked Gov. Walz and Jacob Frey is to just give us the criminals you have in jail," said Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. "They've released 490 murderers, and rapists, and drug traffickers into the streets, rather than just give them to us -- and that's what I don't understand."

As lawyered-up apologies go, this one's a real stinker.
When I got a look at what the new CNN talking head, 25-year-old Cameron Kasky, said out loud in front of God, Scott Jennings, the CNN audience, and President Donald Trump's lawyers, I said on my Adult in the Room Podcast livestream these words, "He's gonna get sued." But his "apology" is arguably worse.
On CNN, Kasky claimed twice that Donald Trump was part of a "sex trafficking network," alluding to the Jeffrey Epstein case.
When asked to clarify, Kasky claimed that it was a "provable" fact
San Francisco's beloved mall will finally shut its doors after years of harrowing decline and fears of crime and homelessness. San Francisco Centre, formerly known as the Westfield Mall, will permanently close on January 26, an employee for the disgraced shopping center's lone remaining store told the San Francisco Chronicle. The iconic mall began spiraling downward with the rest of the Democrat run city after the COVID-19 pandemic. Rumors of the closure have circulated for months as sprawling homeless encampments deterred tourists and locals alike. As downtown foot traffic decreased, the mall saw fewer and fewer customers. Its flagship
Things are really heating up in Davos, Switzerland, as the elites gather at the upscale ski resort to talk about the global economy, geopolitics, technology (particularly AI), and climate change; they will, in turn, lecture the rest of us on these topics as they pretend to be subject matter experts, all from the comfort of their private jets and their gargantuan estates.
Fun stuff.
Well, Team Trump is now on the snowy grounds of Davos, and things are getting good.
As RedState's Rusty Weiss reported, Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick kicked things off Tuesday with a strategic strike on the World Economic Forum (WEF) and its "globalist orthodoxy."

Karine Jean-Pierre. Remember her?
In 2022, Jean-Pierre made history as the first openly gay black female lesbian of color to serve as White House press secretary. Journalists and other Democrats squealed with joy.
In 2025, Jean-Pierre announced she was leaving the Democratic Party to become an independent, primarily as a means of expressing solidarity with Hamas. She wrote a memoir defending Joe Biden's zombie reelection campaign. It was so bad that it forced Democrats to abandon their faith in DEI. They could finally admit that Republicans were right.
Former colleagues rushed to denounce Jean-Pierre as "incompetent," "ineffectual," and "unprepared." The Washington Post charitably described her as a "devoted apparatchik" with
The Duke and the Dork
15 replies
— Once upon a time, there was a good-looking, articulate, young boy named David Duke who attended a conservative elementary school in New Orleans. In Junior High, as an eighth-grade project, he was irresistibly attracted to the subject of segregation. He then attended a military school in Georgia and “by the time he graduated was already a member in good standing of the Ku Klux Klan”––ultimately becoming a grand wizard of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan.
In his self-published 1988 autobiography, My Awakening: A Path to Racial Understanding, Duke stated: “We [Whites] desire to live in our own neighborhoods, go to our own schools,

A federal magistrate judge refused to sign a complaint charging independent journalist Don Lemon in connection with a protest inside a church in St. Paul on Sunday, multiple sources familiar with the proceedings told CBS News. "The Attorney General is enraged at the magistrate's decision," said a source familiar with the matter. A different source stressed that the process is not over, and the Justice Department could find other avenues to charge Lemon.
I warned you! It’s kind of hilarious, but a lot of folks don’t realize that the current number one candidate to win the Democratic nomination in 2028 is… not Gavin Hairstyle… not Alfred E. Buttigieg… not Jupiter B. Pritzker… not even Josh “Yeah Right, Democrats Are Gonna Nominate A Jewish Guy Who Won’t Apologize For It” Shapiro. It’s Kamala Harris. No, really, I’m serious.
“That’s crazy talk, Kurt. Why are you so crazy with your talking?”
I’m not crazy. The Democrats aren’t crazy, either – they are stupid and evil.[snip] She comes off as stupid and annoying, which is a direct consequence of her being stupid and annoying.
Several emergency declarations have already been issued as a massive winter storm barrels toward more than 35 states, putting more than 200 million people in its path and threatening “considerable disruption” to New York with up to a foot of snow. Texas, North Carolina, and South Carolina were the first to issue preemptive emergency declarations after the National Weather Service warned that “nearly everyone east of the Rockies” will be affected by snow, ice, or cold from Friday into early next week. The potentially historic winter storm, dubbed Winter Storm Fern, is expected to span more than 2,000 miles

Bundle up — or else! A life-threatening Arctic blast is set to strike the eastern US in the coming days, plunging temperatures below zero and into the single digits as experts warn people to stay inside or risk hypothermia. The bone-chilling cold front is expected to peak later this week, with Chicago, parts of Michigan and upstate New York among the hardest hit, forecasters said.
