Thune Has GOT TO GO

At least there is one hopeful comment ...

Florida IS FULL - Don't Come Here

(We don’t want no more stinking Starbucks in Florida, especially not the liberal owner. These freaks move here and still vote for the same failed, ruinous policies that forced them to leave the last state.)

Washington Passes 9.9 Percent Millionaire Tax - Now Starbucks Founder Howard Schultz Is Leaving Seattle
Seattle’s political class may want to pour another cup of coffee before reading this one.
The same week Washington Democrats pushed through a new millionaire tax, Starbucks founder Howard Schultz announced that he and his family are leaving Seattle after more than four decades and relocating to Florida.
The timing immediately caught attention online.

 

 

But the announcement also comes as left-wing Washington is entering a tax environment that destroys incentives for high earners and steadily erodes incentives for the middle class as well.
Democrat lawmakers recently approved a new 9.9 percent tax on income above $1 million, a rate analysts say would place Washington among the highest-tax states in the country. When combined with the federal top income tax rate of 37 percent, the total burden on income above $1 million could exceed 46 percent.
Economists have warned for years that when tax burdens reach that level, mobility often becomes the deciding factor.
Washington has already seen that dynamic before. During earlier debates about wealth taxes in the state, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos moved from Seattle to Florida, taking one of the country’s largest tax bases with him.
Now, Schultz is making a similar move.
State officials also highlighted why companies continue relocating operations to Tennessee, citing the state’s pro-business regulatory climate and its lack of a state income tax.
The contrast between the two states is hard to ignore. Liberal Washington lawmakers are moving forward with one of the highest top tax rates in the country, while companies and entrepreneurs continue expanding or relocating to more economically and freedom-loving states that advertise the opposite approach.
Schultz framed his move as a personal decision tied to retirement and family. But the broader pattern unfolding across the country remains the same one critics of wealth taxes have warned about for years.
When taxes rise high enough, capital and talent have a way of finding somewhere else to go.

Wealth-Producers Escape As California Succumbs To Democrat Death Spiral

Yamaha Motor Company is now the latest seismic hit to California after announcing that, after half a century, the nearly $7 billion company is leaving the deep blue state.

Although Yamaha is relocating to Georgia, most companies bailing out of the erstwhile Golden State are heading to Texas.
Toyota Motor North America completed an earlier headquarters shift from Torrance, California, to Plano, Texas …
Chevron also relocated its headquarters from San Ramon, California, to Houston, Texas, in 2024 …
Charles Schwab completed its headquarters relocation from San Francisco to Westlake, Texas, in 2021.
Public Storage, the nation’s largest self-storage operator, announced in February that it was relocating its corporate headquarters from Glendale, California – its home for more than 50 years – to Frisco, Texas.
The visionary Elon Musk can see what’s coming and wants no part of it. He has moved Tesla, SpaceX, and X from California to Texas. Click* through for plenty more examples.
Businesses leaving California in recent years often cite the state’s high taxes, burdensome regulations and elevated cost of doing business as key factors driving the decisions.
Left behind will be the underclass that California has imported through mass immigration to vote for the Democrats who impose the high taxes and suffocating regulations. As productive citizens follow opportunity out of the Land of Fruits and Nuts, ever more radical Democrats will be elected to redistribute the shrinking pie ever more greedily, which will drive out the productive at a still higher rate, in a vicious cycle that guarantees single party Democrat rule and the total ruin of the state. California is succumbing to the Democrat Death Spiral.

CNN ..... WTF? ...... Again

ANY claim these assholes have about "editorial standards" is a blatant LIE. They only claim to have editorial standards when they get caught pushing a position that is just TOO twisted and biased to be covered up.

The FBI revealed that more explosive devices were found at a storage unit that was connected to one of the terrorists.

This was the first article they posted about the islamic terrorists who threw bombs at peaceful anti-islam protestors outside the muslim communist mayors house in NYC.

There was backlash so they removed it and posted this.

This was what they posted later: 

Still no mention of "allahu akbar", or the islam/muslim connection, or terrorism.

A couple of the well earned comments:

Five Members Of Iranian Women’s Soccer Team Granted Asylum By Australia

(That had to be a horrific decision to make for these five women who are aware that their families will now be made an example of by the barbaric Iranian regime. They have a record of dealing very cruelly with the families of people who do not do the will of the regime.)

Australia granted asylum to five members of the Iranian women’s soccer team who were visiting the country for a tournament when the Iran war began, a government minister said Tuesday.

The announcement followed days of urging by Iranian groups in Australia and by US President Donald Trump for the Australian government to help the women, who had not spoken publicly about a wish to claim asylum.
The team drew speculation and news coverage in Australia when players didn’t sing the Iranian anthem before their first match.
Early Tuesday, police officers transported five of the women from their hotel in Gold Coast, Australia, “to a safe location” after they made asylum requests. There, they met with Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke and the processing of their humanitarian visas was finalized, the minister told reporters in Brisbane.

“I don’t want to begin to imagine how difficult that decision is for each of the individual women, but certainly last night it was joy, it was relief,” said Burke, who posted photos to social media of the women smiling and clapping as he signed documents. “People were very excited about embarking on a life in Australia.”
The women granted asylum were happy for their names and pictures to be published, he said. Burke added that the players wanted to make clear that they were “not political activists.”
Iranian state TV said the country’s football federation asked international soccer bodies to review what it called Trump’s “direct political interference in football,” warning such remarks could disrupt the 2026 World Cup, which begins in North America in June.
Naghmeh Danai said she was invited as a migration agent and member of the Iranian-Australian community to visit the women at a hotel Monday night and to reassure them about what was available to them in Australia.
Burke didn’t detail what threats the players faced if they returned to Iran. During the tournament, the women have mostly declined to comment on the situation at home, although Iran forward Sara Didar choked back tears in a news conference Wednesday as she shared their concerns for their families and all Iranians.
The Iranian team has drawn national news coverage in Australia after the players’ silence during the anthem before an opening loss to South Korea last week was viewed by some as an act of resistance and others as a show of mourning. The team hasn’t clarified. They later sang and saluted during the anthem before their remaining two matches.
“Australians have been moved by the plight of these brave women,” Prime Minister Anthony Albanese told reporters Tuesday. “They’re safe here and they should feel at home here.”
Albanese said Australian officials had made offers of support “clear” to the athletes.
Australia’s announcement came after Trump on Monday in Washington called on Australia to grant asylum to any team member who wanted it. Earlier that day, Trump had lambasted Australia on social media, saying Australia was “making a terrible humanitarian mistake by allowing the … team to be forced back to Iran, where they will most likely be killed.” Trump added: “The U.S. will take them if you won’t.”
Less than two hours later, in another social media post, Trump praised Albanese, saying, “He’s on it! Five have already been taken care of, and the rest are on their way.”
Iran’s football federation said Trump’s comments were “baseless and unlawful” and urged global football authorities to intervene.
Iranian first Vice President Mohammad Reza Aref separately said: “Iran welcomes its children with open arms and the government guarantees their security.”
“No one has the right to interfere in the family affairs of the Iranian nation and play the role of a nanny who is kinder than a mother,” he added.
