Sun Belt migration and states that dominated the incoming flow of domestic migrants.

I really don't get it. The Marxists on this board including Royal, Pissoli, NJ, Vicky Vaseline and others keep claiming that Democrat run shithole states are utopic. Imagine hating your state of residence or birth so much that you don't even try to change things and instead make the decision to put it in the rear view mirror. Voting with feet.

Sun Belt states dominated domestic net migration patterns last year, according to a National Association of Realtors report based on U.S. Census data. Florida, Texas, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, Arizona, Idaho, Alabama and Oklahoma made up the top 10 states for domestic net migration in 2022.

These migrants are leaving California, New York, Illinois, New Jersey and Washington state.

The True Believer by Eric Hoffer


Read it and understand it.

TE Room

Everywhere that I read about our 2023 class, it is mentioned that Rappleyea has the chance to be an instant-impact type of player. My question is, over whom? Theo seems firmly-entrenched as the starter. Warren has a lot of experience at #2. Everyone raves about Dinkins as the #3. There’s also Jerry Cross. Could one of these guys enter the portal after Spring?

Joe Biden on debt ceiling in 2006

Biden said in a 2006 Senate floor speech:


Facts had changed. His promise to balance the budget, his promise to pay down the debt, were proved to be false. [Emphasis added]
But he [Bush the younger] refused to take responsibility for his policies. He refused to admit that a changed world demanded a change of course.
His refusal has pushed us deeper and deeper into the hole. His refusal added $450 billion to the debt in 2002; it added $984 billion in 2003; it added $800 billion in 2004. And here we are again today, adding another $781 billion. With that addition, our national debt will be $8.6 trillion at the end of this year.
The President’s budget plans will bring that number to $11.8 trillion at the end of the next 5 years. This is a record of utter disregard for our Nation’s financial future. It is a record of indifference to the price our children and grandchildren will pay to redeem our debt when it comes due. History will not judge this record kindly.

Revealing the New York Times’ Deceitful Russiagate Coverage

Dems were gaslit............ lol.... By their own party.

As Gerth details, reams of evidence show that the Trump-Russia conspiracy theory was cooked up by Hillary Clinton’s campaign in the summer of 2016. That July, for example, CIA Director John Brennan briefed President Obama on reports of a “proposal from one of her [Hillary Clinton’s] foreign-policy advisers to vilify Donald Trump by stirring up a scandal claiming interference by Russian security services.” Although Gerth does not reveal why Clinton personally embraced this strategy, it is likely she feared the fallout from the release of damaging emails from her personal server or those stolen from the Democratic National Committee and wanted to turn the fallout of that story back on her opponent.


Whatever the motivation, in the final months of the campaign, Clinton’s team, which included the Washington, D.C., opposition research firm Fusion GPS, vigorously spread the smear. Gerth reports:

Wall Street to Jerome Powell -- We don't believe you.

Yet another who has the same view on TIPS that I have mentioned here several times. He also writes that this strategy is pretty much free of Fed behavior, something I've stated here as well.

The only risk, in my view, is the calculation for inflation. You buy if the yield above inflation is acceptable to your needs. That's pretty much it. That's the decision. Need more above inflation? Pick the right stocks. A lot of companies, including both the government and households, are going to have trouble financing debt.

Despite the recent risk-on rally, I think the broad indexes will struggle for real returns in the long run. Valuations are very high. There is a "buy the dip" mentality that has become ingrained through money supply expansion over decades, but debt is making this unsustainable.

I do see the Fed eventually caving and increasing its 2% target. Political pressure will do that. The Fed already changed the wording to a "2% average" without actually defining the averaging period. They've also corrupted it through stating a "dual mandate," which could hurt retiree savings -- newly invested money -- should they once again drop real yields into negative territory to prop up employment.

Negative real yields are not good for improving overall living standards in an economy. Bad companies need to be weeded out, just as bad workers need to be weeded out. Corporate socialism is just as bad as labor socialism. Both encourage poor productivity. Real productivity is the only thing that can improve living standards.

Ilhan Omar considers herself to be a world citizen and not an American.

In Youtube video while whining about being taken off of committee, Omar states will not be silenced, but in so doing doesn't mention anything with reference to the US. At about 19 seconds she states her leadership "will be celebrated around the world" and at about 33 seconds she states she will be "a voice against harms around the world."

Zero loyalty or concern about the United States. Of course, her reference to the world is just a cover for her loyalty to Islam (which does not provide for separation between church and state) and not any true loyalty to what would be best for the world however, amorphous that may be.
