  • If Trump is reelected, Americans are planning to flee in droves

    …….. Every four years, as Americans gird themselves to choose a president, there's talk, mainly among Democrats, of leaving the country. I'm off for Canada if unacceptable candidate X wins! And every four years, the promised exodus fails to materialize. It's mostly just therapeutic venting. This time is different. The alarm over Trump's potential triumph in November is far starker than the fears stoked by past presidents. "A Trump dictatorship is increasingly inevitable," a recent Washington Post headline warned. The Atlantic devoted an entire issue to the authoritarian horrors in store for America "If Trump Wins." Every four years or...
  • City Exodus: Americans Flock to Red States as Blue States Grapple with Economic Woes

    03/04/2024 5:08:35 AM PST · by davikkm · 33 replies
    A noticeable trend is emerging as people pack their bags and relocate, with a clear pattern of migration from Democrat-controlled cities to Republican-leaning havens. The top destinations for those seeking greener pastures include Las Vegas, Phoenix, Tampa, Orlando, and Sacramento, signaling a shift in residential preferences. Conversely, the cities experiencing an exodus are predominantly from Democratic strongholds – San Francisco, New York City, Los Angeles, Washington, DC, and Chicago. What’s driving this migration pattern?

    “The Law of God Is Good and Wise” (Exodus 20:1-17) “The Law of God is good and wise”: So we just sang in the hymn. But is it? Is the Law of God really good and wise? I mean, yes, it does set God’s will before our eyes. And yes, it does show us the way of righteousness. However, the Law does doom us to death when we transgress. And we do transgress. A lot. So is the Law of God really all that good and wise? Really, when it dooms us? When it damns us? If so, what good...
  • A Blue State Exodus: Who Can Afford to Be a Liberal

    Is the blue state exodus from California, New York, and Illinois making red states like Florida, Texas, and South Carolina more liberal? Studies suggest the answer is no. South Carolina is one of the beneficiaries of a blue state exodus. But contrary to popular theory, South Carolina Is Still Ruby Red. Fed up with pandemic restrictions, Sandy Zal uprooted her family from Schenectady, N.Y., three years ago and moved here because of its Republican tilt. She and her husband named their new company Freedom Window Tinting, a nod to South Carolina’s ethos. The Zals are part of a migration wave...
  • Escape From New York And LA! NY, California And Illinois Seeing Net Out-migration Due To High Taxes/Regulations, Crime And High Housing Costs (Moving To Florida, Texas And The Carolinas)

    Confounded Interest ^ | 02/25/2024 | Anthony B. Sanders
    Director John Carpenter had two films, “Escape From New York” and the less popular “Escape From LA.” Carpenter’s vision of a dystopian future with Manhattan as a prison island, filled with criminals and Los Angeles as a just a weird, dystopian area filled with gangs and sleazebags. Apparently, Carpenter read George Orwell with a splash of Franz Kafka in writing these films which are sadly becoming a reality. Like John Carpenter foretold, both California and New York are leading the nation in outmigration. BAD crime, high taxes, insane politicians and droves of illegal immigrants are making living in those state...

    Like they tell us about relationships in Facebook, the U.S. economy is a bit complicated. Yes, the Biden administration is pushing the idea that happy days are here again. On the other hand, the growth is happening in some places and not in others. Some places are happier than others. It goes like this: Nearly every week, a fresh round of strong economic data elicits a celebratory statement from the Biden administration. Most of the best-performing states, however, voted in favor of former President Donald Trump, a new ABC News analysis found. An examination of key economic measures -- including...

    Legal experts analyzed what they called "breathtaking" civil penalties against former President Donald Trump, Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, former Trump Organization Comptroller Jeffrey McConney and ex-CFO Allen Weisselberg – warning other corporations based in the Empire State may realize they could suddenly be put out of business by the state on a political whim. New York Supreme Court Judge Arthur Engoron found Trump liable for more than $350 million in damages in the fraud suit brought against him and his company by New York State Democratic District Attorney Letitia James.

    We are once again being reminded why the once prosperous state of California is falling into a budgetary black hole and bleeding residents at an increasing rate. (Though to be fair, some of those losses are being made up for by an army of illegal migrants who use up even more resources.) The Democrats who run the state can’t seem to help themselves, and they keep going back to the well with failed ideas to increase state revenue. The latest chapter in this ongoing story comes to us from Stephen Green at PJ Media. It appears that members of the...

    “Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty. This is known as "bad luck.” ― Robert HeinleinAfter nearly two centuries of uninterrupted economic and population growth, California has hit a pothole in the road. There had been...

    "The Great Escape" was released in 1963. I'm sure that you all remember the great motorcycle scene starring the late Steve McQueen. Well, I hear that there is a new version of the movie coming out featuring Governor Kathy Hochul of New York. She won't be riding a bike over the fence but is clearly driving a lot of people out of the state. The Big Apple is getting lean and leaner. Check this out: New York’s population plunged more than any other state in the country over the past year, according to sobering new statistics – as fed-up lawmakers...

    California is a beautiful place, and when you remember that I'm speaking as an Alaskan, that's really saying something. But it's undeniably true, and it's easy to see why, once upon a time, California was the destination of choice. The once-Golden state has a wide variety of landscapes, from deserts to mountains to farmlands to beaches. The climate is salubrious and it's almost always possible to go a few miles to find temps that suit you; I remember working in the Santa Clarita Valley in 2007-2009, and on weekends when the Santa Anas blow like a blast from an oven...

    California is, without a doubt, one of the most naturally blessed places in the world. The idea of the American Dream was invented there, and during the 50s and 60s, it became the embodiment of America’s optimistic spirit. Its image was surfers, suburbs, and Silicon Valley. San Francisco was one of the most beautiful cities in the world, and Los Angeles was Tinseltown–the place where dreams are made. New York City may have been the place where if you made it there, you could make it anywhere, but California was the place where you could lay in the sun in...

    At first, the ads seemed like a pandemic-era curiosity, a niche political pitch playing on the red state, blue state divide. “Escape liberal hell,” counseled one sales video from a Boise, Idaho, real estate agent. “Here are seven reasons conservatives flock to Idaho.” “Time is not on your side, flee the city NOW before the coming collapse!” read another ad for 5 acres in Moyie Springs, Idaho, listed for $259,000 by a Sandpoint, Idaho, company called Black Rifle Real Estate. (Motto: “Ready. Aim. Move.”) The idea that people would pick up and move solely for politics has seemed like a...

    Foreign investments are leaving China. Half of the $250 billion to $300 billion foreign bond investments since 2019 have exited, and U.S. private equity and venture capital investments in China have fallen by more than 50 percent, according to a JP Morgan report last month. Foreign direct investment into China in the second quarter of this year reached a 25-year low at $4.9 billion, with a year-on-year decline of 87 percent, according to Chinese official data.Bloomberg and fDi Markets data on new investment projects—a more telling indicator of whether foreign firms are still investing in the country—show a 40 percent...

    New census data shows San Francisco has many fewer service workers than before the pandemic and continues to lose residents who haven’t gone to college. San Francisco continues to lose residents who haven’t attended college, according to newly released census data. Between 2021 and 2022, the number of San Franciscans ages 25 or older with a high school degree or less fell from 144,000 to 142,000, contributing to a 14% decline during the past three years. That’s far higher than the city’s estimated 8% overall loss of 25 and older adults during that period. In contrast, the U.S. overall only...

    If you’re a California resident and a parent, you really ought to leave the state now. On Friday, the California Assembly passed AB 957, which means that a parent who doesn’t “affirm” their child’s “gender identity” could lose custody of that child. AB 957 amends state Family Code to include “a parent’s affirmation of the child’s gender identity or gender expression as part of the health, safety, and welfare of the child.” The bill is now headed for Gov. Newsom’s desk, where he will most certainly sign it. A recent comprehensive study found that there is no medical benefit for...
