Blue-staters flee blue-state policies…and then vote for them again

Several data sources show the exodus of residents from blue states to traditionally red states. The recent U-Haul ranking of states by migration growth is one of the most compelling; after all, that’s where the rubber meets the road. U-Haul migration trends show that Tennessee had the largest net gain of U-Haul trucks crossing its borders in 2020. Rounding out the top ten are Texas, Florida, Ohio, Arizona, Colorado, Missouri, Nevada, North Carolina and Georgia. California is no longer golden, as it ranks dead last; folks are also commissioning their U-Hauls to escape other deep blue states like New York and Illinois.

The ‘Farcical and Empty Claims’ of Islam’s Greatest University

Al-Azhar, the Muslim world’s most prestigious if not authoritative Islamic university, recently blasted Jerome, the archbishop of Athens and all Greece, for saying during a January 14 interview that “Islam, its people, is not a religion but a political party” — that Muslims are “the people of war … who seek expansion,” which is a “characteristic of Islam.”

Netflix-Sponsored ‘Antiracist’ Grifter Ibram Kendi Supports Totalitarian Government

You’ve probably heard that Ibram X. Kendi, author of “How To Be An Antiracist,” just teamed up with Netflix to create films and animated shorts about racism for adults through preschoolers.

You may not have heard some of Kendi’s other ideas, such as his proposal to create a federal Department of Antiracism to go after speech and policies that don’t fit Kendi’s definition of “antiracist.”

Unite and Heal With Show Trials and Fascist Purges

Enjoy unity at gunpoint in the Bidenist banana republic.

Joe Biden has called for “unity” and “healing”. And nobody knows as much about healing as Joe whose wife has a doctorate in education from the university that hosts his Biden Institute and the Beau Biden Foundation which was charging $3K for lessons on preventing online child sex grooming even as Hunter’s laptop with the Foundation’s sticker allegedly showed him doing it.

Get the troops out of DC – Biden’s war on ‘domestic terror’ is wildly disproportionate and authoritarian.

The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issued a national terrorism bulletin yesterday, warning that extremists ‘may be emboldened’ by the 6 January riot at the Capitol to ‘incite or commit violence’. This alert came the day after reports that the 7,000 National Guard currently on duty in Washington, DC will remain until ‘at least’ the end of March.

Just consider how extraordinary these measures are.

Journalists Mobilize Against Free Speech

A new generation of media crusaders clamor for government control over what you see, hear, and read—and for banning their competition

American journalism once thought of itself as being inherently and institutionally pro free speech. Visitors to the Newseum, the media industry’s temple of self-glorification on Constitution Avenue in Washington, were once greeted with the First Amendment inscribed across 74 vertical feet of lofty marble. The Newseum has been closed since late 2019, its operators having discovered the hard way that the public doesn’t share the media’s heroic level of regard for itself.

Marine Le Pen proposes hijab ban as French polls put her almost neck-and-neck with Emmanuel Macron

French far-right leader Marine Le Pen today proposed a ban on Muslim headscarves in all public places, seeking to build on a record recent poll putting her almost neck-and-neck with President Emmanuel Macron.

The hijab policy, which would be contested in court and would almost certainly be ruled unconstitutional, saw the 53-year-old return to a familiar campaign theme 15 months from the country’s 2022 presidential election.

‘I consider that the headscarf is an Islamist item of clothing,’ Le Pen told reporters at a press conference where she proposed a new law to ban ‘Islamist ideologies’ which she called ‘totalitarian and murderous.’

The ongoing insurrection against MAGA America

When Uncle Sam threatens some blighted and benighted region of the world – ostensibly on behalf of the American People and for their own good – our representatives call it peace through strength.

It is then that ordinary Americans are encouraged to pipe up in praise of the State’s invariably Orwellian peace-through-strength strategies.

But what about peace through strength on our front porches, while being menaced by lowbrow looters and assorted louts? For that you can be incarcerated in the land where the criminal roams free.

Howard Levitt: This might not be the end of Julie Payette’s sorry saga — we can expect lawsuits from employees

Julie Payette is unemployable.

The former governor-general’s resignation this week was prompted, of course, by a scathing review of the work environment she presided over at Rideau Hall, which was characterized by dozens of people as hostile and toxic. The government released some of the findings of the independent review on Wednesday.

Of course the employees would sue the government and tax payers would end up footing the bill all round.

Won’t Somebody Think Of The Chickens! ‘Depraved’ man, 37, who had sex with chickens causing them to die – has his three-year jail term cut by eight months

‘Depraved’ man, 37, who had sex with his pet chickens in a basement while his WIFE filmed – causing them to die as a result – has his three-year jail term cut by eight months on appeal

A “depraved” man who had sex with his pet chickens while his wife filmed him has had his jail term reduced on appeal.

Footage of Rehan Baig having sex with the birds – which died as a result – was found on computer equipment seized from his home in Bradford, West Yorkshire, along with indecent images of children.

Baig, 37, was jailed for three years at Bradford Crown Court last October after admitting a string of offences including having intercourse with an animal, possessing extreme pornographic images and making indecent photographs of children.

Not The Bee: Black Lives Matter movement nominated for Nobel peace prize

The Black Lives Matter movement has been nominated for the 2021 Nobel peace prize for the way its call for systemic change has spread around the world.

In his nomination papers, the Norwegian MP Petter Eide said the movement had forced countries outside the US to grapple with racism within their own societies.

“I find that one of the key challenges we have seen in America, but also in Europe and Asia, is the kind of increasing conflict based on inequality,” Eide said. “Black Lives Matter has become a very important worldwide movement to fight racial injustice.

Matt Taibbi: Biden inauguration coverage shows why so many distrust the mainstream media

A day after U.S. President Joe Biden’s inauguration, the headline in Axios read: Trust In Media Hits A New Low.” Felix Salmon wrote that, “For the first time ever, fewer than half of all Americans have trust in traditional media.” The Edelman survey showed overall faith in the press dropping to 46 per cent.

The traditional explanation for this phenomenon is that Republicans hate the press a lot, but Democrats just a little. The Axios story bore this out somewhat, as only 18 per cent of Republicans reported trusting media, versus 57 per cent of Democrats.

The GameStop Boom

Who’s behind the game retailer’s wild ride—and why you probably don’t need to worry

What a difference a year makes. Last year, hedge-funders were throwing up their hands and complaining about how much harder it was to make money. Algorithms moved so fast and bought so much stock that individual active traders, even if they had lots of capital, couldn’t move markets like they used to. But who could have foreseen a pandemic that would put people in front of their computers for hours at a time, with no sports to bet on and an axe to grind against Wall Street?

Unsealed court documents say Epstein madam Maxwell orchestrated underage ORGY for her and financier to watch

Newly unsealed court documents from numerous court cases detail just some of the sexual misdeeds allegedly carried out by Jeffrey Epstein and his former madam Ghislaine Maxwell with groups of underage girls.

Some 112 court documents, amounting to thousands of pages of evidence, were unsealed and released on Wednesday night, including testimony accusing Maxwell of preying on victims and forcing them to perform sexual acts for her and Epstein’s amusement.
