Democratic strategist James Carville argued that political actors in his party should “play possum” right now, as grassroots organizing pops up across the country, noting that the “freight train is moving.” Carville joined MSNBC’s “The Beat” on Monday, where host Ari Melber asked him to weigh into the nationwide protests against the Trump administration and Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). “This is happening all around the country. So, the question is, how should Democratic politicians respond to this? And I think they should do is, what we call in rural America, play possum. Just let it go. Don’t...

WASHINGTON, DC — Israel is considering a proposal to move some of the Palestinian population of Gaza to Indonesia as part of a broader normalization agreement, Breitbart News has learned. As Breitbart News reported last year, Indonesia — the world’s largest Muslim nation by population — is eager to normalize relations with Israel as part of a process of joining the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), which represents the world’s leading industrialized nations. President Donald Trump is likewise eager to accelerate normalization between Israel and Arab and Muslim states, including Saudi Arabia and Indonesia, as part of a...

"Million Dollar Listing" star Josh Altman predicts the Pacific Palisades will never be same because he doesn't expect the majority of families will return. In a new interview with Fox News Digital, Altman explained how the Los Angeles fires have affected residents of the Southern California town and what the future looks like. He says his insurance agent told him that "90-plus percent of these people are heavily underinsured." Altman added, "I think 65-70% of the people do not go back to the Palisades or Malibu. I can just tell you from gauging all these calls that I'm getting where...

There's a southern migration happening in the U.S. right now, and it's not because of the weather. The National Association of Realtors' 2024 Migration Trends report released this week shows Southern states dominated in attracting the most people to move within their borders last year, and only 1% of those who moved said they did so because of climate-related reasons, according to its analysis of U.S. Census Bureau data.

Morton Salt, known for its iconic blue and yellow umbrella girl logo, will soon join Citadel, TTX, Boeing, Caterpillar and Tyson Foods by moving its headquarters out of Illinois. The company’s departure follows a series of high-profile corporate exits that have plagued Illinois in recent years. Hedge-fund giant Citadel moved its headquarters to Miami, citing a better corporate environment and concerns over crime in Chicago. CNBC ranked Illinois 33rd in the U.S. for business friendliness, an improvement from their 2021 rankings. Yet corporations continue to flee. Compared to neighboring states, Illinois saw the largest drop since 2018 in the Tax...

Hollywood star Sharon Stone has revealed that she is considering moving to Europe if former President Donald Trump wins in November. In a red carpet interview at the Taormina Film Festival in Sicily, where she was being honored with a lifetime achievement award, Sharon Stone didn’t mention Trump by name but made her political opinion abundantly clear. “Well I’m certainly considering a house here, and I think that’s an intelligent construct at this time,” the Basic Instinct star told Deadline.

Billionaire Elon Musk said Tuesday he will shift the headquarters of privately held SpaceX and social media site X to Texas from California as a result of Gov. Gavin Newsom signing a new gender identity law for students. The law, signed Monday, blocks school districts from requiring teachers to notify parents about changes in a student’s gender identity or sexual orientation without the child’s permission. It also requires the state’s Department of Education to create resources for families of LGBTQ+ students from seventh grade through high school. “This is the final straw,” Musk wrote on X. “Because of this law...

Why isn't Biden moving?

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...

CLAIM: California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) said more Floridians have moved to California in the past two years than vice versa. VERDICT: MOSTLY FALSE. The raw numbers favor Florida. Newsom is relying on a “per capita” migration rate. Newsom debated Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) on the Fox News Channel in a much-anticipated matchup. Host Sean Hannity asked the governors to explain why there is net migration from “blue” Democratic states to “red” Republican states. Newsom then claimed that over the past two years, there has been net migration from Florida to California. DeSantis seemed rather stunned.

This week at work a team member was talking about how her 23 year old son who is done with college is itching to move to Germany because he is tired of the USA and what is going on here. Two other co-workers chimed in saying how everything is wonderful in Germany and that so much is "free" and one the lady has a friend who moved to Germany from the USA and she loves it because of once again all the "free" they get. I wanted to explode and tell them nowhere is like the USA and that they...

Finally, after so long, I'm moving down south, to South Carolina. Got a job, signed a lease on an apartment, and I'm gonna get my first car down there. Things are looking up, and I hope that down the line, I'm making the right decision.

So as the title says, I'm looking for some help in relocating to South Carolina. Mostly with just getting a job; I shouldn't have much trouble finding a place to live. I'm in Brooklyn, NY and work in the security industry; a fire and life safety director to be specific. We're responsible for handling any emergency that happens in our building until the incident commander takes over. It's a huge responsibility. The lack of communication and general lack of professional behavior from a few managers that we work with has really soured me on the job as a whole, and...

Hey, folks. A culmination of sad events leads me to asking for help. A few months ago my landlord asked us to move out. It wasn't an issue with the rent. We haven't been late in years. He wants us out so he can remodel the house and charge more than twice what we're paying now. Well we fond a little house that we could afford. But after rent, deposit, pet deposit and renting a U-Haul, there wasn't enough to hire movers. No problem. My son, Andrew, said he and his roommate, Will, could move us. (My wife and I...

I recently posted about my thoughts on relicating to Alaska. First off, thank you all that responded publicly, secondly thank you all that sent PM's 10 fold. It has given me a lot to think about, the pros and cons. Its made me think of a romance I have in my head about the final fronteer, and that romance was just that. It does not sound like AK would be good for me, 20 years ago absolutely, but not today. I recieved almost twice as many PM's from people in one state alone looking for skilled workers, plus with the...

Thousands of Californians leaving the Golden State looking to escape the rampant homelessness and high cost of living are landing in neighboring Nevada, overrunning the state's few major cities. Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Reno area has seen 25,000 new residents according to reports and is expected to be one of the fastest growing cities in the coming years. An article published by the Los Angeles Times on Thursday found that the droves of residents are moving to northern Nevada and causing issues with pre-settled residents who are seeing rising prices and traffic troubles. The former-Californians are...
