Individuals fleeing from liberal states to those with conservative leadership such as Texas and Florida are being joined by mega-companies, such as Disney. Florida’s chief financial officer Jimmy Patronis explains the simplicity behind the phenomenon: lower taxes make the Sunshine State more attractive for businesses. Speaking to “Fox & Friends First” Patronis said, “Disney already has a proven track record here” and moving its California operations to Florida will “allow them to grow and expand their business.” Patronis’ comments came after Disney publicly considered moving its theme parks from California to Florida due to the struggle to re-open under California...

Well, that was fast! Gina Carano could have apologized for the high crime of memeing. Begged for her job back. The fighter-turned-actress-turned-culture warrior we all need had a different idea. She decided to sign with the Daily Wire. Carano will develop, produce, and star in the upcoming film developed by the media company with the inferior drinking vessel. Have fun calling Gina an anti-Semite while she's hanging out with Ben Shapiro, suckers. Carano also offered a message of hope to others like her: It gets better. "I am sending out a direct message of hope to everyone living in fear...

It's sort of shocking that a series of left-wing riots around the nation followed by a right-wing riot at our Capitol building haven't caused much self-reflection among the policymakers in Washington. It's convenient to think this is just some tiny group of crazies or this is all going to blow over. We have been thinking that way for years now. It's not true. Our once-great country is on a huge slide. Too many fellow citizens are hurting. Too many communities around the country are shells of their former vibrant selves. All this is a screaming wake-up call for change, yet...

Actress Gina Carano is partnering with The Daily Wire to produce and star in an upcoming film exclusively for Daily Wire members. Carano and The Daily Wire announced the new partnership on Friday, two days after the actress was ousted from her role in the Disney Star Wars spinoff show “The Mandalorian.” Disney cut the actress on Wednesday in what critics alleged was a politically-motivated hit. “The Daily Wire is helping make one of my dreams — to develop and produce my own film — come true. I cried out and my prayer was answered,” Carano said in a statement...

The liberal media is known to suddenly shower praise on a formerly reviled Republican who turns against the party's leaders. So you might have expected CNN's John Berman to heap hosannas on Trump's former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley this morning. After all, Politico published an article today in which Haley—also the former Republican governor of South Carolina and a potential 2024 presidential contender — offered pointed criticism of Trump. But instead of praising Haley, Berman said her criticism of President Trump was not a "Profiles in Courage" moment. He continued: "Nikki Haley, if anything, is a weathervane. I mean, she...

A short history of the ruthless neocon war on anti-war RepublicansJack Hunter When Rep. Liz Cheney recently said she would vote to impeach President Trump, most of the national GOP and Wyoming Republican party came down on her hard. She could be in real trouble in 2022. I loved every second. I celebrated on social media with other libertarians who also enjoyed her comeuppance. But some libertarians didn’t agree. They stood with Liz Cheney and even praised her stance and her as moral, good and righteous. That is something I can’t wrap my head around. This is Liz Cheney. You...

Every time Democrats use emergencies – real or imagined – as a pretext for political bedevilment, it reminds me of why tens of millions of Americans voted for Trump. Twice. It’s simple. Trump just wanted to get things done. So do we. That’s it. But Democrats want something else. If politics is the “crooked timber of our communal lives,” as Charles Krauthammer wrote, then pretext is the timber that crooked Democrats use to jerry-rig political power. They’re obsessed with doping up malcontents with Utopian promises that pretend to solve imaginary problems in a world that doesn’t exist. It’s political voodoo....

A whistleblower within a Philadelphia school has revealed that the school curriculum requires students to celebrate a radical, Black Power Communist charged with kidnapping and murder and act out a play which has them yelling “jail Trump!” This follows the trend of schools across the country to inject “anti-racist” training for students and staff. One example in New York, teachers demanded adding “anti-racist” training or they would refust to return to work.

U.S. prosecutors alleged Thursday that a former FBI official and Navy intelligence officer before the Jan. 6 Capitol breach organized a group of trained fighters and was in contact with self-styled militia groups including the Proud Boys, Oath Keepers and Three Percenters, making him a "key figure" in the federal probe into the incident. The revelations emerged as prosecutors asked a federal judge to detain Thomas Edward Caldwell, pending trial, according to The Washington Post. The allegations appear to provide further evidence that the deadly siege was coordinated and planned months in advance. A police officer and one person who...

The campaign to recall California Governor Gavin Newsom reportedly has enough signatures to prompt a recall vote on the unpopular governor. Rescue California, chaired by Tom Del Beccaro — the former chair of the California Republican Party — is leading the recall effort. The petition to recall Newsom requires 1,495,709 signatures, but the group contends it will need close to two million before the March 17 deadline to account for signatures that are likely to be deemed invalid. “EVERYONE: We have over 1.5 mill raw signatures but they are not all verified,” tweeted del Beccaro. “My message is that 1.5m...

The Learjet, which became synonymous with lifestyles of the rich and famous, is about to fade into aviation history. Canada’s Bombardier announced Thursday that it will stop production of the Learjet later this year to focus on more profitable planes. That means the elimination of 1,600 jobs in Canada and the United States, another blow to aircraft manufacturing, which has withered in the pandemic. The iconic jet was among the first private luxury planes. William Lear based his design in part on military jets. The first Learjet flew in 1963, and more than 3,000 had been built since. Most of...

From London to Vienna to Stockholm, young migrant men, mostly from Muslim-majority countries, are targeting white women for sexual violence and harassment. European governments are doing little to stop the attacks or punish the perpetrators for fear of being labeled racist. Now some are warning that immigration and Islam are endangering women's rights and security across Europe. For some forty years, hundreds, perhaps thousands, of young women have been drugged, raped, and beaten across dozens of UK cities by men belonging to so-called grooming gangs. "They are gangs of men who groom young teenage girls and abuse them for sex...

As the WallStreetBets saga that has so captivated both Wall Street and social media has come to its roller-coaster conclusion, brokerage platforms such as Robinhood and TD Ameritrade now have the legacy of restricting trading of high-volatility stocks. But while brokers are attempting to address the problem on their own platforms, it’s possible that pro-regulation advocates could see the fracas as a mere opportunity to advance the burdensome regulatory agenda they've wanted to advance for years.For the uninitiated, the current situation arose from a popular Reddit forum urging its users to target GameStop (GME), a stock heavily shorted by hedge...

COTTONWOOD, CALIFORNIA — In Woody Clendenen's barbershop, a standard haircut costs $15. Seniors get a discount for $12, and liberals are charged $40. At least that's what the sign at his local Cottonwood shop in Northern California's Shasta County says. His small business is donned with Trump 2020 gear, support to create the new state of Jefferson, and copies of the Constitution for customers to read or take. He's got regulars who stick around just to talk politics and feel a sense of normalcy during the COVID-19 pandemic. Most of them are maskless and aren't told to follow any health...

Russia said on Friday it would be ready to sever ties with the European Union if the bloc hit it with painful economic sanctions, a statement that Germany described as disconcerting and incomprehensible.Ties between Russia and the West, already at post-Cold War lows, have come under renewed pressure over the arrest and jailing of Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny. >>>“We don’t want to isolate ourselves from global life, but we have to be ready for that.
