The conviction being overturned for the sandwich thrower seems correct to me. A sandwich is not a weapon and we should not allow the government to classify it as one.
Who cares what we think? Follow your heart ❤️
You’ll find the “Coward! Fight!” brigade here soon.
But, come join us in Idaho!
“My questions - am I running away from the problem? By moving, am I giving up? By moving, am I just making it easier for the lawless Dems to import more criminals in Virginia?”
Yes. Which is not to say you shouldn’t run, that depends on your personal circumstances. But we have to make a stand sometime. Where will you run to when they come after Tennessee?
As Americans we actually have the duty and responsibility to run our country. When the government is out of control and corrupt it is because we have allowed it to become so
Where we live, in terms of doing something about it, matters only in what are we doing about it
You can live in the backwoods of Tennessee Virginia. What you doing to fix it
Apparently these states are overrun with idiots. Let them run those states down. They will reap what they sow.
You are moving for self protection and sanity. Not enough of us to change their collective self destruction.
This guy has very short political vision. You need to start looking west of the Mississippi. In Kansas we can help the cops shoot the bad guy, if you pay a fee.
I made the judgement that Virginia was lost 6 years ago when Ralph Northam was elected Governor and the Dims took control of both the Senate and House of Delegates. I fled the state I loved and moved to Tennessee. History has proven the wisdom and accuracy of my decisions.
I couldn’t be happier. Virginia is doomed.
I just saw where a friend is moving to Johnson City TN.
We are in SW Va so we are far removed from “the troubles”. Very little of what happens in Richmond affects us very much.
Arkansas? If we weren’t so old we’d move there but here in Texas we old folks ain’t got it so bad.......Virginia, I’d get out as soon as possible....
Remember, the newly elected AG wants to shoot you if you’re a Republican....
My daughter just moved out of Richmond.
I am sleeping better these days knowing she is out of that hell-hole.
I have been giving the possibility of moving out of NM serious thought for the past couple of years. This has been a dem run state forever but it’s gotten really bad the past few years. The crazies are definitely in charge now. The way I see it is there comes a time when you need to pack up and leave. Fighting nutcases isn’t the best way to spend your golden years.
I moved to rural NW Tennessee from Tampa, FL four years ago - after having lived in Tampa for 35 years. I’ve been quite happy with the change. It’s almost been like going back in time to the 1950’s. If you’re considering NW Tennessee drop me a message and I’ll provide some good details.
Why Tennessee? Taxes? Tennessee has many infrastructure concerns, it’s not a type of Florida or Texas. Businesses don’t generally thrive in Tennessee. Some do... Industry? Mmm not really. Beautiful place, wouldn’t want to be old there (elder care is lacking too.
Or you could just stay in Virginia and cry baby about it everyday on FR. 😆
I wouldn’t worry too much about it, depending on your immediate area. I live in a deep Red area of a swing state, and I love it here. Just stay away from the liberal part of my rural township where Trump only won by an 84%-16% margin in 2024. :-O
It seems like everyone is moving to Tennessee. Which is why I am moving out. Just one week and I’ll be in the gorgeous home I bought in Louisiana.
People have been flooding into Tennessee for years now, mostly escaping blue states like California and New York. They’ve turned our cities blue. The local Democrats (who are way more like Zell Miller than Obama or AOC!) have been complaining about how “the granola crowd from California have taken over the Dem party here in Knoxville for over a decade.
You’re more than welcome here, but be aware the massive influx of blue state escapees has caused outrageous traffic and sky high real estate and rental costs. Our granola mayors have accepted bus loads of homeless from NYC, so we got a sudden explosion of homeless druggies the city was not equipped to deal with and they are pushing their stolen shopping carts down highways and streets and ODing in parking lots in the good parts of town where you never used to see a single poor person, let alone homeless druggies.
I can’t wait to get out of Tennessee! I was born here,grew up here. It’s changed beyond recognition.You may love it here, as you have no memory of how it used to be and how all the Yankees and Left Coasters have ruined our once friendly and polite towns.
There are beaucoup videos on You Tube about Californians moving here. It really is a thing.
If you have any questions, let me know! I’ll do my best to answer any you may have.
I’ve lived all over the country and been all oer the world.
Now live in Spokane, WA. Best place ever. The South Hill area has beautiful homes and a terrific senior complex where I’ve lived for 18 years. Sidewalks shoved, maintenance comes instantly to fix whatever. Walk to Safeway, Trader Joe and two locally owned markets. And 2 banks.
My daughter lives here now. Her husband died a couple of years ago, and she sold their huge house on 10 acres, bought a nice house not far from me. Her best friend since high school moved from CA to Spokane. She and her husband make tons of money as civil engineers. They live in very $$$$ neighborhood about a mile away.
IOW, Spokane is safe, pleasant, friendly and has a lot to offer residents in eery price range. .
