How voters fleeing California turn other
states blue

Americans of all groups –– young and old, rich and middle-class, the college-educated and not –– are fleeing California. Conservatives are leaving in droves. The state will become even more progressive and even more committed to the self-destructive policies that are driving people out in the first place. But this exodus might have a saving grace: It might make surrounding states more conservative, right? Well, this has yet to play out favorably for Republicans in some nearby states, including, for example, Arizona.

Americans of all groups –– young and old, rich and middle-class, the college-educated and not –– are fleeing California.
Conservatives are leaving in droves.
The state will become even more progressive and even more committed to the self-destructive policies that are driving people out in the first place.
But this exodus might have a saving grace: It might make surrounding states more conservative, right?
Well, this has yet to play out favorably for Republicans in some nearby states, including, for example, Arizona.
A federal judge refused Sunday to help in attempts to open early voting sites at three public North Carolina universities, declining requests to overrule decisions by Republican-controlled elections boards leading up to the state’s upcoming primary.
U.S. District Judge William Osteen rejected arguments by the College Democrats of North Carolina and some students that they were likely to win a recent lawsuit because decisions by GOP board members placed undue burdens on the right to vote.
The decision by Osteen — nominated to the bench by President George W. Bush — to deny a preliminary injunction or a temporary restraining order can be appealed.
Recent regional elections have seen Democratic candidates win a number of special-election races.
Now, energized left-wing politicos remind the nation daily that every incumbent president, except three over the last century, has suffered substantial midterm losses in Congress.
Polls show President Donald Trump suffering an average 11-point negative unfavorability rating.
So Democrats promise to soon stop all new legislation and end Trump and his counterrevolution itself.
But the left will never offer any alternative agenda on the economy, the border, crime or foreign policy.
The Ruling Class Panic

If you take a close look at some of the major news stories that have captured our collective attention over the last few weeks, you may notice a peculiar pattern.
We’ll start in Minneapolis, with the story that has dominated the headlines for weeks. Although Tom Homan, President Trump’s “border czar,” has deftly negotiated a de-escalation of tensions in the nation’s most aggressive, bizarre, and aggressively bizarre sanctuary city, protests there continue. More to the point, state and local politicians continue to behave as if federal laws are irrelevant and as if they have no responsibility whatsoever to abide by rules that they have decided are unpleasant.
Spain’s Minister of Youth and Childhood, Sira Rego, a communist militant of Izquierda Unida and part of the coalition government led by socialist Pedro Sánchez, has publicly declared her support for drastic measures against the social network X, formerly known as Twitter.
Rego has expressed that the next step for the Executive should be to «limit and surely prohibit» access to this platform not only for young people, but for the entire Spanish population, arguing that it is a space where «flagrant violations of fundamental rights» occur.
Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi is projected to win a commanding victory in a snap general election, according to early exit polling released Sunday night.
Public broadcaster NHK estimated that the coalition headed by Takaichi’s Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) is on track to secure a two-thirds supermajority in the House of Representatives.
The LDP alone is expected to win enough seats to govern outright, marking a dramatic turnaround for a party that had lost its parliamentary majority just two years ago.
Takaichi, Japan’s first female prime minister who is often dubbed the country’s own “Iron Lady,” called the election only four months after assuming party leadership.
Woke California schools warned: Indoctrinate

kids with extreme ideology — lose federal cash 4 replies
California’s K-12 schools have been put on notice that indoctrinating children in extremist left wing ideology will lead to federal funding cuts.
In an exclusive interview with The California Post, the nation’s chief enforcer of civil rights Harmeet Dhillon has warned that political indoctrination, such as anti-Semitism, is now under the microscope, and won’t be tolerated.
Dhillon’s warning comes with genuine bite as all American public schools received federal government funding.The push to investigate — and potentially defund — public schools comes as the federal government last week moved to join a lawsuit against UCLA’s medical school.
“What we’re seeing in K-12 is antisemitism, we’re seeing racism —
Hannah Anderson, who serves as the Director of Healthy America Policy and as the Senior Director of Policy for the America First Policy Institute (AFPI), described the Trump Rx website as the “first of its kind” and “unprecedented” during an appearance on Breitbart News Saturday.(snip) Anderson spoke about how the Trump Rx website allows Americans to “go directly to a website” and “clearly know the price of the drug” they need. Breitbart News reported that the Trump administration launched the Trump Rx website on Thursday, “where coupons are already available for 40 drugs.” Really, it’s so important for people to understand how unprecedented this is,” Anderson said. “This is a no-middle man contract —
Launched at the COP30 meeting in Brazil last year, the Declaration on Information Integrity on Climate Change (DIICC) was, as reported here, a manifesto for censorship wrapped in venal doublespeak. Fittingly, given the corrupt and exhaustive process that spawned it, the DIICC was last week ‘endorsed’ by the European Union. According to a European Commission press release from the Directorate-General for Climate Action, the EU Council gave its approval to the UNESCO initiative on January 20th and the EU formally accepted it a week later.
Billionaire developer Rick Caruso took a swipe at Spencer Pratt’s long-shot mayoral bid — while doubling down on his scathing criticism of Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass over her response to last year’s deadly wildfires.
Caruso believes the former reality TV star’s political ambitions may be “well-intended,” but warned that Los Angeles can’t afford another inexperienced leader running a city of nearly four million residents.
“I think he’s a very well-intended guy,” Caruso told The Hollywood Reporter of Pratt, a fierce critic of Bass who kicked off his mayoral campaign this week.
If you want to buy spray paint you need an ID. The same applies for renting a car, buying tobacco products, buying alcohol, getting a hotel room, buying keyboard cleaner, and many more everyday purchases.
As it would turn out, you also need an ID if you want to attend a campaign event for Democrat Senator Jon Ossoff.
The Gateway Pundit reported,
Like the rest of his party, Senator Jon Ossoff of Georgia opposes the idea of voter ID, but you better have an ID if you’re planning to attend his campaign rally this weekend.
This is true of the Democrat National Convention as well.
In January, President Donald Trump signed an executive order to withdraw the United States from 66 international organizations deemed “redundant, poorly managed, unnecessary, costly, ineffective,” or that were instruments of America’s adversaries. Among them are various United Nations agencies and, most significantly, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and the 1992 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the latter of which is the backbone of global climate governance.
During his first term, President Trump removed the U.S. from the Paris Agreement. But a newly elected President Joe Biden promptly returned the nation to the agreement in 2021, making ...

Representative Ilhan Omar is one of the most sanctimonious corrupt Democrats in congress, and she’s loud and proud about it because she understands how to engage in financial fraud safely. Just do what everyone else is doing but do it bigger, that way there’s no way her peers can approach it.
Someone in DC gave House Oversight Chairman James Comer the familiar tap on the shoulder and told him they don’t investigate their own Uniparty tribe. So, Comer drops his planned review of Omar’s corruption and shifts it to the ethics team.

The problem was the show’s conceit: It was a message of unity, inclusion, and togetherness — in a language that 85% of the population doesn’t understand and cannot speak.
That’s not unity. That’s division.
Lo siento, Bad Bunny and/or the NFL, but the underlying metrics of the NFL’s Super Bowl halftime show didn’t make a lick of sense:
Only about 14% to 18% of the U.S. population speaks fluent Spanish — which means, of course, that 86% to 82% do not.
Only 14% of the NFL’s total audience is Hispanic.
The number of Latinos/Hispanics who speak English exclusively is growing, not shrinking:
'A Slap In The Face'

Donald Trump has called Bad Bunny's all-Spanish Super Bowl halftime show 'one of the worst ever' and a 'slap in the face' to America.
The US President said the rapper's gig was 'absolutely terrible' and that there was 'nothing inspirational' about choosing a star who didn't perform in English.
Mr Trump was also deeply unhappy about some of the suggestive dancing because the Puerto Rican artist repeatedly grabbed his crotch and there were women twerking on stage (snip) ''It makes no sense, is an affront to the Greatness of America, and doesn't represent our standards of Success, Creativity, or Excellence'.
Olympic athletes aren't stumbling into competition by accident; years of training, taxpayer-backed facilities, national governing bodies, corporate sponsors, and a county willing to invest all come together to push the select few onto the world's stage.
Displaying the flag on their uniform represents far more than any fashion choice or personal mood, yet every Olympic cycle seems to attract competitors who want the benefits without sharing the burden of gratitude.
U.S. freestyle skier Hunter Hess, a Team USA member, recently voiced his mixed emotions about representing America, citing immigration enforcement and political disagreements. He determined that the flag on his chest represents friends, family, and personal ideals over government

The FBI released surveillance photos and videos of a potential subject in the investigation into the disappearance of “TODAY” co-anchor Savannah Guthrie’s mother.
The four images depict a person wearing gloves, a mask, and a backpack appearing to tamper with the camera at Guthrie’s front door the morning of her disappearance.
FBI Director Kash Patel said the potential subject is armed.
The FBI said yesterday that it had not identified any suspects or persons of interest.
Nancy Guthrie, 84, was dropped off at her home outside Tucson, Arizona, the night of Jan. 31 and was reported missing about noon Feb. 1.
A radical left-wing group in Los Angeles has published a shocking 40-page roadmap to transform the nation’s second-largest city into a bizarre socialist experiment.
The Democratic Socialists of America’s LA chapter wants to straight-up seize private property through a “creative use of eminent domain,” take control of your neighborhood grocery store, and replace cops with unarmed social workers while shutting down jails.
Their Communist fever dream wishlist includes banning Airbnbs, grabbing golf courses for public housing, allowing non-citizen immigrants to vote in local elections, enforce a school curriculum that supports social justice and eliminating all fossil fuel use by 2035. The 3,500 member group has already helped elect several candidates
SANTA CLARA, Calif. — The Seattle Seahawks used a dominant defense and the strong running of game MVP Kenneth Walker III on Sunday to crush the New England Patriots 29-13 in Super Bowl LX.
It was the Seahawks’ second Super Bowl title in four appearances. It came 12 years after Seattle defeated Denver 43-8 in Super Bowl XLVIII -- a fitting nod to the 12th man that has fueled the energy at Seahawks’ home games.
The game, before 70,823 fans at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, showcased a punishing, opportunistic defense by the Seahawks that rendered Patriots quarterback Drake Maye mostly ineffective all night.
Today must be my day for trashing Pravda. Already, I have trashed Peggy Noonan's lament for the Washington Post, and contrasted her fantastical idea of what the media's relationship to truth is with the fact that the Post lionizes Adam Schiff as a model Democrat who is trying to save democracy.
Noonan writes for The Wall Street Journal, so I trashed it. The Washington Post is the "gold standard" for political coverage, and I trashed them.
So next, I need to trash the New York Times to complete a trifecta.
Jamelle Bouie gives me that opportunity, as it happens. He is a columnist for the Times and has been called
Maryland Gov. Wes Moore announced on Feb. 8 that he was uninvited from a dinner at the White House for the nation’s governors.
Moore wrote on his website that his exclusion undermined bipartisanship and was possibly racially motivated. “As the nation’s only black governor, I can’t ignore that being singled out for exclusion from this bipartisan tradition carries an added weight—whether that was the intent or not,” he said.
Other Democratic governors, such as Colorado’s Jared Polis and California’s Gavin Newsom, also reported being uninvited from the dinner.
The worst-case scenario for Olympian Lindsey Vonn came just seconds into the women's downhill final in Cortina, Italy, on Sunday afternoon.
Vonn's body struck a gate as she made her first big jump less than 13 seconds into her run, altering her momentum and direction, prompting a scary crash as she flung sideways and bombed out.
The race was on hold for more than 20 minutes as Vonn was tended to on the course. The scene at Tofane Alpine Skiing Centre was eerily quiet, as thousands at the bottom of the mountain, including Vonn's family, were left stunned and largely speechless.
Numerous Democratic leaders say their high-migration, low-wage sanctuary city economies are crashing because President Donald Trump is requiring them to comply with national labor laws.
“We are now expected to absorb the fiscal consequences of [federal] enforcement activities,” the treasurers of 16 states wrote to President Trump. “This is not acceptable.”
The treasurers of Massachusetts, New York, Illinois, Minnesota, and nine other states are asking the federal government to exempt them from national laws that protect Americans’ civil rights, labor, housing, and anti-fraud laws.
“We urge your administration to immediately scale back enforcement activities causing this harm
Former DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has quietly taken a role as a Visiting Scholar at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, an institution long entangled with Chinese influence networks, foreign government funding, and open-borders activism. (snip) For over a decade, Carnegie has maintained a documented relationship with the China-United States Exchange Federation -- a core instrument of the Chinese Communist Party's United Front Work Department, whose stated purpose is to "co-opt and neutralize sources of potential opposition" and steer foreign elites toward Beijing's preferred positions.
