Russian court orders oldest civil rights group Memorial to shut

Curious timing

[wdmso]

Ric Grenell, former acting director of national intelligence, told Newsmax on Monday that Russian President Vladimir Putin is ''smelling weakness'' from the U.S. and President Joe Biden regarding the situation in Ukraine.

''It's really a problem because Putin is seeing weakness. He's smelling weakness,'

and both sides constantly do it, obviously, politics attracts the worst. but they’ll never admit it. never. they can’t. democrats are always right, republicans are always wrong, because life is just that simple.

Keep making up baloney
You tried to make primaries, which only exist in the realm of political parties equivalent to a general election.
Then you falsely claim some equivalence between Cuomo and DeathSantis

again, why was it so bad for trump to try and undermine the 2020 election, but no big deal when democrats tried to undermine the 2016 election?

there is no equivalence between Cuomo and Desantis. Desantis did better, he had more seniors, he didn’t crush his states economy,,didn’t keep kids out of school as long, yet he has a lower death rate. That’s as clear as “winning” can be. Winning, winning, winning.

And huge numbers of new yorkers are fleeing to FL, and if weather was the only reason, they’d be going to CA instead of FL but they aren’t. They’re choosing FL in huge numbers.

Winning, winning, winning. And it’s eating at you!!!’

Sure Jim,
I’m of an age where I have a lot of retired friends
Some have adopted Floriduh residency to escape income taxes, spend half the year plus a day there, still keep a home in the North.
Retirees don’t give a #^&#^&#^&#^& about education in Floriduh, their grandchildren aren’t there.
Just where’s DeathSantis anyway?

[Pete F.]

Floriduh virus increased over the past two weeks by more than 1000%, winning the role as leader among the states.
DeathSantis has disappeared
Counties are overwhelmed w/ lines that stretch for miles, DeathSantis said FL will not open state run testing sites, @HealthyFla has basically declared the pandemic is over, and FL has over 46K COVID cases today. It’s every man/woman for themselves, because leadership is MIA.
Maybe he’ll blame it on Cuomo and all the New Yorkers who fled bringing Covid with them.

He won't allow local health boards to release data, so who knows how bad FL really is, maybe Jim can go down for a couple weeks to get some real data.

Florida had the largest net migration gains in the country, a measurement of people moving in and out of the state. But it also had the biggest “natural” decrease in population, which involves comparing numbers of births and deaths.
OMG people moved out?

The Sunshine State’s growth rate during the year, 1.0%, was eighth highest. Idaho had the nation’s fastest growing population during the year, increasing by 2.9%, followed by Utah, Montana,

Idaho most are from California sell a house make a quick 600k or more move to Idaho build a nice house pocket the rest .. and still be a liberal what’s not to love ❤️


With over 31,000 migrants from Canada to Florida between 2005 and 2015, Florida saw more in-migration from Canada than Texas and New York combined!

Don’t tell Jim that ! He insist Everyone was moving to FLA to because they like conservatives
And don’t forget the 4.5 million immigrants (foreign-born individuals) comprised 21 percent of the population. In FLA….

why are californians moving to a red state like Idaho? what makes idaho appealing, exactly?

i tel guy that migration from NY to FL is at a record high. your response, is that more people
nice from canada to FL.

so what? that does t begin to disprove my point.

blue states are going to be losing congressional seats. red states will be gaining.

i never said why people are moving to FL. i said it can’t only be climate, be sure southern CA had warm climates too. had to be something else.

Back to Ukraine for a minute why is every conservatives talking head or Congress member cheering for Putin to invade Ukraine? Instead of getting behind the POTUS and show a United front towards Russia, when they know
Biden or Trump would have used force ..

Rep. Budd to Newsmax: Russian Aggression Due to 'Weakness' From Biden

that Russia would not be threatening to invade Ukraine if former President Donald Trump was still in office, attributing reports of their offensive to "weakness in the way that Biden has led."

I know right! shame on the Democratic’s for not getting getting behind the Trump about a stolen election or support him giving North Korea legitimacy and Trumps bromance or get behind him that the virus is going to disappear or getting behind him that hydroxy works or getting behind Trump when he believes Putin over his own intel community

It’s always the same with conservatives it’s about owning the libs and cheering for the enemy to assist in embarrassing the current administration if possible

i’m sorry that spits in the face of your agenda and happens to help my agenda. but it’s true.

Jim your the only person I know who spews this fleeing argument is based on 1 thing escaping liberalism .

then when presented with many other factors to why its happening

It is I who should be saying "i’m sorry that spits in the face of your agenda "

because you are the one insisting no other reasons exist Besides fleeing liberalism.. that's what an agenda looks like

some more facts

The Sunshine State get a deal on homeownership, paying less than 1% for property taxes while other popular states pay more than 2%.

I doubt people are moving because of 1%

The Association reports that close to 28% of the people relocating to Florida came from Texas
so are Texans fleeing liberalism? 6% coming from California. how can that be

and of course Florida’s no income tax along with Alaska, Nevada, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming

States with no income tax often make up the lost revenue with other taxes or reduced services. See Jim there is Always a catch

please, please point out where i ever said that liberal politics is the only reason why people moving?

many people move just for the weather, or proximity to golf, work, etc. but politics is a part of it, a big part, because politics plays a big role in determining the cost of living of a place.

liberals want to pretend it has nothing to do with liberalism. i just point out that’s it’s part of it. i never came close to saying it’s 100% because of liberalism.

you say “it’s more than politics”, then say part of it is low taxes.

Earth to Wayne….low taxes primarily exist in places that are economically conservative.

do you really think that tax rates have nothing to do with whether or not a state is liberal or conservative?

think of the cheapest states to
live in, in terms of taxes. how many are solidly blue states? any?

“states with low taxes often give up services.”

correct. and americans are figuring out, that they’ll happily give up whatever those services are, to avoid taxes.

NH has no income tax or sales tax. i could move there and put an extra $1,000 in my pocket every month for the rest of my life. i don’t know what i’d be giving up exactly, in terms of services. my friends who have moved there from CT don’t feel like they gave up anything.

i think what you give up, is waste.

i’ve repeatedly said it’s one reason.

you see zero connection between taxes and politics. it’s just a coincidence that liberal states tend to have high taxes and conservative states tend to have low taxes.

More smoke and mirrors Jim

conservatives states have less services ! OMG 8 of the top 10 on the federal teat! are red states states.. odd for red states to scream about socialism but won't tax their residents in an effort to pay their own states Bills .. funny how that works yet

Red States Lead With Federal Dependence red states are 24% dependent on federal funds as compared to 14% of blue states



in the U.S. that were most dependent on the federal government in 2021,

1 New Mexico Blue

2 West Virginia Red

3 Mississippi Red


4 Alaska Red



5 Montana Red


6 Kentucky Red

7 Alabama Red

8 Arizona Red

9 Louisiana Red

10 Vermont Red


So clearly federal dollars from Blue states are funding the ability of red states to not tax their residents .. But claim their against raising taxes! but have no issues taking federal moneys to prop up their states finances so they dont need to raise taxes .. hypocrisy at its finest ,

Apparently not everyone is moving out of the NYC metro area

For much of 2021, the suburban New York real estate markets continued to be dominated by bidding wars, long lines at open houses and rising prices, as the housing inventory in many communities fell short of demand.

Fueling the frenetic activity, which started in mid-2020, was the allure of still-low mortgage rates, along with an influx of pandemic-weary city dwellers and new millennial buyers. At the same time, homeowners were holding onto their properties longer, many unable to afford to upgrade.

“It was the same story across all the suburbs,” said Jonathan J. Miller, a Manhattan-based real estate appraiser who also monitors suburban markets.
