The great migration during the pandemic has seen Americans flee high-tax Democrat-run states and flock to Republican-led low-tax or no-income-tax states, a study by The Tax Foundation found. 'People move to states with low-income tax for a multitude of reasons, sometimes it's the most direct and obvious reason that it reduces their own tax liability,' the vice president of state projects at the Tax Foundation, Jared Walczak, told Yahoo. 'Especially now that people have more capacity to move where they want, that will be a higher priority for some,' he added.

More than three quarters of students at one Baltimore high school are reading at an elementary level, with many reading at a kindergarten level. Fox Baltimore reported that a teacher at Patterson High School, one of the largest high schools in the city, came forward with information showing 77% of students at the schools were found to have an elementary school reading level. Patterson has a 61% graduation rate and a $12 million budget.(Snip)The revelation comes at the same time that Maryland Public Policy Institute released a report showing that Maryland taxpayers are paying millions of dollars for “ghost students”–those who don’t attend school.

The Biden administration is set to fund the distribution of crack pipes to drug addicts as part of its plan to advance "racial equity." The $30 million grant program, which closed applications Monday and will begin in May, will provide funds to nonprofits and local governments to help make drug use safer for addicts. Included in the grant, which is overseen by the Department of Health and Human Services, are funds for "smoking kits/supplies." A spokesman for the agency told the Washington Free Beacon that these kits will provide pipes for users to smoke crack cocaine, crystal methamphetamine, and "any illicit substance."

Joe and Jill Biden have worn face masks to walk across the lawn at the White House, despite there being no mandate to do so and Omicron infection rates collapsing.The Bidens - who are vaccinated and boosted - covered their faces for no apparent reason as they crossed the White House grounds after disembarking Marine One.It is not clear who the President, 79, or the First Lady, 70, were protecting or who they felt they needed protection from as the only people walking across the grounds. When the couple walked closer to the White House, members of the Secret Service and the press were seen nearer,

Canada’s capital declared a state of emergency Sunday as police struggled to rein in ongoing protests against vaccine mandates. Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson, who declared the emergency, said in a statement that the increasingly rowdy demonstrations posed a “serious danger and threat to the safety and security of residents.” Hundreds of trucks continued to occupy the downtown area near Canada’s parliament with no sign that the protesters planned to leave. The protests started in reaction to Canadian and U.S. laws that went into effect in January, requiring truckers crossing the border to be fully vaccinated. They have since morphed into

Aspen is hosting the National Brotherhood of Skiers, which is advertised to be “the largest black ski group in the United States.”
That’s nice. Welcome to Aspen, my friends.
A hearty welcome was not enough, however, for Mike Kaplan, the liberal white CEO of Aspen Skiing Company. He found it necessary to issue a memo to all employees instructing them how to behave around black people.
Kaplan instructed employees to greet the black guests “lovingly and intentionally.” He says employees ordinarily treat all guests this way but instructed them “to make an even greater effort” with the black ones. He goes on to tell employees the reason for this special effort for blacks.

Comedian Heather McDonald collapsed on stage at The Tempe Improv in Arizona on Saturday night. McDonald had just delivered her second joke of the evening before falling to the floor and requiring medical attention. The 51-year-old comedian shared updates with her fans to Instagram following the scary incident, which was initially reported by TMZ. McDonald's second joke of the show, which she headlined, poked fun at the unvaccinated and made light of the ongoing pandemic. 'I'm vaxxed, double vaxxed, boosted… and flu shot, and shingle shot, and haven't gotten COVID and Jesus loves me most,' she stated. Following the line's delivery, Heather collapsed to the floor and hit

Scientists are on the cusp of the 'biggest ever' breakthrough in the treatment of pancreatic cancer.UK researchers have developed a two-in-one treatment that could dramatically improve survival and even cure the disease, which is one of the deadliest cancers.Survival rates for pancreatic cancer have barely improved in the last 50 years and it has the worst prognosis of any common cancer.In tests, mice given the new therapy – a combination of two treatments already used in hospitals – lived up to 40 per cent longer.

An American-born figure skater who renounced her US citizenship to compete for China at the Winter Olympics is being slammed on the country’s most popular social media app Sunday after a disappointing performance. Zhu Yi, 19, who skated onto the ice to cheers, fell twice during the women’s short program team event, knocking the host country down from third to fifth place. “Zhu Yi has fallen” immediately became the top trending topic on Weibo — the Chinese equivalent of Twitter — after her poor showing, racking up 200 million views in mere hours, according to CNN. The figure skater, who

The mayor of Canada's capital declared a state of emergency on Sunday as truckers from across the country continue to paralyze Ottawa's downtown.'The situation at this point is completely out of control,' Mayor Watson said on Sunday. 'The individuals with the protest are calling the shots. They have far more people than we have police officers.' Mayor Jim Watson said declaring a state of emergency highlighted the need for support from other jurisdictions and levels of government as the protests enter their 17th day. It gives the city some additional powers around procurement and how it delivers services, which could help purchase equipment required by frontline workers and first responders.

Mayor Eric Adams, who has previously claimed to be vegan, bizarrely refused to say on Monday if he eats fish—or if he consumes any other animal products. Hizzoner brought up his own eating habits at a press conference in Brooklyn following multiple reports he’s been spotted out dining on fish at various restaurants—despite repeatedly insisting he follows a “plant-based” diet. “Does Eric eat fish? Does he eat a hamburger? Does he do this? Does he do that? You know, I mean, it’s just, listen, here’s my message: The more plant-based meals you have, the healthier you are going to be,” the mayor said, unprompted.

This never ends well.
Joe Rogan has self-flagellated while treading water in a pool of Alinsky piranhas.
(snip)
Apparently, the Lightbringer for all modern Alinsky tribal followers, Barack Obama, triggered the final thumbs down and threatened the financial mechanism that supported the embattled Mr. Rogan, Spotify Inc. {LINK}With the twitch of his pinkie ring, Teh One, the bringer of all racial and progressive enlightenment, Barack Obama, forced the ashamed and humiliated Joe Rogan to kneel before the altar of wokeism and apologize for the mortal sin of using the “N” word.
Earlier on Saturday, Mr. Rogan assessed his bank account, glanced at the tin cup and used Woke-Insta to profess his sins
Comments:
Definitely a heroic move. Real 'self-sacrifice', even a low speed car hit can cause a head impact to pavement that can be fatal.
Many officers really do take their "protect and serve" jobs very seriously. In this case literally pulling a child clear and taking the car hit herself.
Fortunately, the officer is OK. Looks like the driver was inattentive and going too fast on slick roads, was nearly stopped when she hit the officer.
