Study Blames Flight from Democrat-Run
Cities on Climate Change

Original Article

Posted By: Imright, 12/20/2023 11:59:30 AM

Far-left Axios is gushing over a new study that blames climate change for people fleeing Democrat-run cities like the “metro areas of Minneapolis, Milwaukee and Washington, D.C. (specifically, Alexandria, Va.).” “Climate migration is already taking place within American communities, new data finds, as people flee flood-prone areas, and create ‘climate abandonment’ zones,” writes an unquestioning Axios. “The study constitutes the latest warning sign of the effects of climate change,” Axios continues without skepticism. “Population shifts, and a larger reckoning for real estate, are only expected to worsen as global average surface temperatures rise.”

LOL! Wellllllll, o.kkkkkk... Yes, loony-lefty beliefs, including the ridiculous "Catastrophic Climate Change" hoax, did indeed play a part in my getting the heck out of California. But just like the lefty-grifters who are buying up coastal properties, I am not worried about the effects of "CCC" in any way.

Finally I understand. With global warming, aka Climate Change, the doodoo covering streets will be less likely to freeze and footing will be more slippery. That'd make someone not homeless more likely to move.

Gotta wonder when the “climate change excuse” will finally be put to rest … likely not until it becomes useless for political gain by the Left. It sure beats the REAL reasons for outbound populations out of Illinois, NY, CA, etc.

Right. The state that is picking up the most migration from those cities is florida. Can you name a state that is closer to sea level than florida? I knew you couldn't.

The really sad part is that the Evil Left thinks that the common folk are incapable of critical thinking, and ignorant of rational truth. And in large part, they are correct.

Former Attorney General Bill Barr said Wednesday on CNN’s “The Lead” that the Colorado Supreme Court decision disqualifying former President Donald Trump from the state’s 2024 ballot would be overturned by the Supreme Court. Barr said, “As you know, I strongly oppose Donald Trump for the Republican nomination. I think this case is legally wrong and untenable. I think this kind of action of stretching the law and taking hyper-aggressive missions to knock Trump out of the race they are counterproductive. They backfire, as you know. He feeds on grievance just like a fire feeds on oxygen. This will end up as a grievance that helps him.”

Former President Donald Trump filed a brief with the Supreme Court Wednesday urging justices to delay a decision on whether he has “absolute immunity” for actions he took as president. He has been charged by Special Counsel Jack Smith with plotting to overturn the 2020 election. In his filing, Trump urged the Court to take a deliberate approach and not to acquiesce to the special counsel’s request to bypass a federal appeals court and rule on the immunity question on a quick schedule: “This case presents a fundamental question at the heart of our democracy,” Pet. 2—whether a President may be criminally prosecuted

Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) was a source of embarrassment for the Republican Party. He won the 2022 Pennsylvania Senate race despite an abysmal debate with Republican Dr. Mehmet Oz and being mentally and physically unwell. The former mayor of Braddock nearly died during that election from a severe stroke. The GOP couldn’t clinch a win against a candidate who was visibly suffering from a debilitating health crisis. Fetterman was hospitalized shortly after being sworn in, which didn’t do anything to neutralize the narrative that he wasn’t healthy enough to serve. Yet, after his stint in the hospital for mental health, Fetterman has become one of the most level-headed

President Joe Biden claimed on Wednesday that former President Donald Trump “certainly supported an insurrection” on January 6. The Colorado Supreme Court ruled Tuesday in a four-to-three opinion that the United States Constitution’s “Insurrection Clause” blocks Trump from appearing on the state’s presidential ballot, preventing voters from deciding who should become the next president. Trump has not been charged with insurrection, though the Court cited the partisan January 6 Committee’s controversial finding that Trump engaged in insurrection, ignoring the fact the Senate acquitted Trump of the House charges.
