THE SCIENCE IS SETTLED: Where Democrats Rule, Citizens Flee

By Timothy H. Lee

"People Moving from New York Outnumber Arrivals by Nearly Two-to-One, Report Says." 

That was a recent Albany Times Union headline highlighting the ongoing mass exodus from deep-blue New York: 

United Van Lines reported Tuesday that nearly two-thirds of the moves involving New York households were outbound, a higher proportion than any other state except New Jersey and Illinois.  The 2016 National Movers Study by Fenton, Missouri-based United also found that almost 59 percent of the moves within the eastern United States were outbound.  Where were people moving?  Mostly to western states and the Carolinas...  South Dakota had the highest share of inbound moves, at 68 percent. 

That exodus pattern isn't limited to the listed states, either.  It's broadly endemic to states where liberals govern.

QOTD: "With the introduction of a new tax bill last week, the [California] Legislature has officially gone beyond parody. Seriously, I had to double check the quotations in the official press release to make sure someone wasn’t pulling my leg. The bill, A.B. 479, promotes gender equality by reducing taxes on tampons and diapers and then significantly raising them on one of the few escape mechanisms left for Californians — alcoholic beverages.

There is no happy hour for menstruation,” said Assemblywoman Cristina Garcia, D-Bell Gardens and chair of the California Legislative Women’s Caucus. “Our tax code needs to reflect the fact that it’s not OK to tax women for being born women.” She added that “liquor is a choice and human biology is not.” At least Garcia recognizes the ill effects of taxation, but California’s tax code isn’t at war with biology — it’s at war with productivity and hard work." --Steven Greenhut

WHEN LEFTIST JUDGES DIDN'T COMPLAIN: 2014 --- To Protect Tourism, Hawaii Paid Homeless to Leave

By Sara Noble

Remember in 2014, when Hawaii gave the homeless one-way tickets out of Hawaii? Why do we have to take refugees from terror nations who haven’t gone through “extreme vetting”?

They wanted to keep them away from tourists but somehow tourists won’t be aghast at thousands of poorly screened and potential jihadists from Iran, Somalia, Sudan, Libya, Yemen, and Syria.

THOMAS JEFFERSON: His opinion on our radical leftist "Judges"

The brilliant words of Thomas Jefferson echo through the ages, a slap in the face to rogue despots wearing black robes.

You seem to consider the judges as the ultimate arbiters of all constitutional questions; a very dangerous doctrine indeed, and one which would place us under the despotism of an oligarchy...

LEVIN: We Are Living Under Judicial Anarchy!

By Nate Madden

On “The Mark Levin Show” Wednesday night, Conservative Review’s editor-in-chief called out “rogue judges” in today’s “judicial anarchy,” as one Derrick Watson, a federal judge in Hawaii, blocked President Trump’s second draft of the executive order suspending travel from six high-risk countries.

“We have, ladies and gentlemen, rogue federal district judges now; we have rogue courts,” Levin exclaimed. “We have judicial anarchy taking place … where judges are seizing plenary authority from the president of the United States to keep this nation safe — to control our borders and to determine the nature of our immigration in this country.”

HEY, THEY'LL ALWAYS HAVE SOROS: Way Past Time You and I Stopped Funding Public Broadcasting

By Cliff Kincaid

The liberal media have always had an advantage over conservative media because of their billions of dollars in taxpayer subsidies. But now, if the Trump administration has its way with the budget, the liberal media may be reduced significantly in size.

“Public Radio and Television Stations Face New Threat of Budget Cuts” is the headline over a Wall Street Journal article about proposed Trump administration budget cuts to the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and public broadcasting. These cuts “are being considered to offset the Trump administration’s proposed increase in defense spending,” the paper said.

Almost $13 billion has been spent by Congress on the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) since 1969.

The invaluable Gates of Vienna was recently one of many legitimate, fact-based or center-right news sites tarred by Harvard University as 'False, Misleading, Clickbait-y, and Satirical “News” Sources.'

In a nutshell, sites that publish very real news stories with which Harvard disapproves have been labeled "fake".

SLEEPER CELL? Muslim Hacking Suspects Could Read Every Email Dozens Of Congressmen Sent And Received

By Luke Rosiak

Congressional IT staffers who are the subject of a criminal investigation into misusing their positions had full access to members’ “correspondence, emails, confidential files,” and there was almost no tracking of what they did, a former House technology worker said.

Imran Awan bullied central IT to bend the rules for him so there wouldn’t be a paper trail about the unusually high permissions he was requesting. And their actions were not logged, so members have no way of knowing what information they may have taken, the central IT employee said.

SHADOW STATE: Obama's Role in Undermining Trump's Presidency

By Cliff Kincaid

The media continue to publish and broadcast stories about how Donald Trump won the election with the help of the Russians, calling this "collusion," though no such evidence has surfaced. Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper has stated  that he had "no knowledge of evidence of collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign." Assertions of Russian influence have been latched onto by Democrats and a liberal media with the sole intention of delegitimizing the Trump administration.

After all, the media, and Democrats, clearly would prefer to return to the age of Obama. While hearings are planned  for March 20 by the House Intelligence Committee to look into the issue of Russian influence in the presidential election, as well as President Trump's claim that Obama ordered wiretaps and surveillance on parts of his campaign-charges that have repeatedly been called "baseless"-there are other tracks  that I have suggested that investigators and journalists should probe.

COMPROMISED: Suspect In House IT Security Probe Also Had Access To DNC Emails

By Luke Rosiak

Imran Awan — the lead suspect in a criminal probe into breaches of House of Representatives information security systems — possessed the password to an iPad used by then-Democratic National Committee Chairperson Debbie Wasserman Schultz when DNC emails were given to WikiLeaks, The Daily Caller News Foundation Investigative Group has learned.

Wasserman Schultz resigned the DNC post in the wake of WikiLeaks posting damaging internal emails, blaming the scandal on hacking by Russians.

You won't believe the 50 websites Harvard has labeled "Fake News"

Your betters at the Harvard University Library have published a guide to "Fake News Sites" that includes a bevy of real news sites that happen to lean right. Among them: the Heritage Foundation, Conservative Review, and Wikileaks, the latter of which has revealed (whether you agree with its approach or not) some very real news indeed.

This, my friends, is a dangerous game. Just as Snopes and Politifact are reliable Democrat public relations outlets (remember when the latter played both sides on ‘If You Like Your Plan, You Can Keep It’?), anyone claiming to be an arbiter of truth is inherently suspect.

Because progressives always get it wrong, I'll repeat. The market is the only arbiter for media. The marketplace of ideas dictates who wins and loses.

Based upon a simple comparison of ratings, MSNBC and CNN are considered very, very fake news when it lines up against Fox News. And which means National Public Radio is also faux news.

Some here's my list of the top 50 sites labeled by Harvard as 'False, Misleading, Clickbait-y, and Satirical “News” Sources':

"EXIT TAXES": How California Tries to Stop the Lower Middle Class From Fleeing for Texas

By Tyler Durden

California exports more than commodities such as movies, new technologies and produce. As The Sacramento Bee reports, it also exports truck drivers, cooks and cashiers.

Every year from 2000 through 2015, more people left California than moved in from other states. This migration was not spread evenly across all income groups, a Sacramento Bee review of U.S. Census Bureau data found. The people leaving tend to be relatively poor, and many lack college degrees. Move higher up the income spectrum, and slightly more people are coming than going. About 2.5 million people living close to the official poverty line left California for other states from 2005 through 2015, while 1.7 million people at that income level moved in from other states – for a net loss of 800,000. During the same period, the state experienced a net gain of about 20,000 residents earning at least five times the poverty rate – or $100,000 for a family of three...

DEAR AP PROPAGANDIST JONATHAN LEMIRE: We're All Still Waiting for an Apology

A legacy media hack by the name of Jonathan Lemire -- if that is his real name -- continues to propagate lies about the wiretapping of President Donald Trump and the remarkable detective work of bestselling author and radio host Mark Levin. Levin helped construct a definitive and authoritative timeline into the Obama administration's criminal activities.

While most "journalists" have quietly abandoned their wiretapping jeremiads, for obvous reasons, Lemire continues to bang his Barbie-sized pots and pans, calling attention not only to his ignorance, but his patently partisan agenda.

For most with Lemire's talents, said actions wouldn't be worth mentioning. But Jon-boy happened to hook up with the antiquated wire service called the Associated Press, so his laughably false assertions have circulated far beyond what his meager talents warrant.

Consider the following; a more fraudulent sequence of lies you'd be hard-pressed to find outside of North Korea:

AMBER ALERT: Won't You Please Help Us Find the Media's "Russians-Stole-the-Election" Meme?

By Rush Limbaugh

Say, have you noticed, my friends, that the whole Russians-stole-the-election theme is gone? Have you noticed it’s not out there today? You can’t find a story on it? I’m gonna tell you why, ’cause we had a major role in this I am convinced right here on the EIB Network yesterday ’cause we nailed ’em.

Have you seen any stories about the Russians hacking the elections? It’s gone, and so is the New York Times headline from the January 20th story with “wiretaps.” They have gone back and they have changed it. “Wiretaps” is not in that headline anymore. I’ll have the details on this. There’s also two polls out there. Folks, this is big. This is exactly… I am convinced that we played a role in this. Not just yesterday, but in days in the past. Many people have, and Trump’s the actual reason why.
