Last night’s blasphemy was the persecution of Pooh. Tonight another outrage has been committed, this time against Sinatra’s hallowed old standard<\/a>.<\/p>\n

With apologies to John Kander and Fred Erb, the composer and lyricist respectively of Sinatra\u2019s classic, New York, New York.\u00a0It is time to update that tune:<\/p>\n

Start spreading the news, they\u2019re leaving en masse\u2028Don\u2019t want to live in it: New York, New York\u2028This U Haul Truck rental, is pricey as hell\u2028But it will get me out of it: New York, New York
\nI want to wake up in a city without a mask,
\nGo out on the town and not have to ask.
\nThe big city blues, are melting away
\nI\u2019ll make a brand new start, away from New York
\nCan\u2019t stand the crime and fear, I want anywhere but here
\nGood bye to you, New York, New York<\/em>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Okay, okay, I admit that’s pretty funny, actually. The mirth heightens still further, blossoming uproariously with the report that follows:<\/p>\n

Yes kids, the Big Apple is rotten to the core and folks are abandoning it\u2013at least those with the case to bail out. But this phenomena is not confined to New York City, which has been brutalized by the inept, murderous rule of Governor Cuomo Bin Lyin and Mayor Bill \u201cthe Commie\u201d DeBlasio. Other major cities, such as San Francisco, are also seeing residents flee liked panicked passengers on the\u00a0Titanic frantic to grab the nearest lifeboat.<\/p>\n

San Francisco saw an exodus of residents during the coronavirus pandemic, with the net number of exits increasing 649% in 2020, according to a new report published by the California Policy Lab….Cori Sarno Villacres talks on Oct. 21, 2020, about how she and her family didn\u2019t feel comfortable or safe in California \u2014 even feeling bullied for their political preferences. They left their life in Sacramento last April to start anew in Idaho.<\/em>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As a rule, my own inclination is to view that with an extremely jaundiced eye—if only thanks to the “fundamental transformation” I’ve personally seen wrought on my own hometown by the Snowbird influx. But Johnson says there’s reason for optimism:<\/p>\n

Will the arrival of northerners from deep blue cities be accompanied by the same stupid political crap that ruined New York City and San Francisco. Possible but I doubt it.<\/p>\n

What I am seeing in Florida reminds me of the flood of migrants from the former Soviet Union and Eastern bloc states when they were under the Communist thumb. Those migrants wanted to eschew the politics that were practiced in their former authoritarian homes. I took a pistol class with a couple recently arrived from San Francisco. I asked the demur 70 year old Grandmother why she and her husband left San Francisco. He reply was swift and succinct (and I\u2019m quoting verbatim): \u201cIT\u2019S A SHIT-HOLE.<\/p>\n

She went on to comment that she and her husband were taking the pistol class before purchasing a firearm to defend their new home. She loved the freedom of Florida.<\/p>\n

Bad politics and bad policies have consequences. People in the United States still have the freedom of movement and are voting now with their feet. America is being realigned and I suspect the Democrat failure in the major cities will become more evident, not less. And the success of sane leaders like Ron DeSantis will remind voters why it is vital to cast a ballot for someone dedicated to upholding the principles of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Well, I dunno, Larry; we’ll find out whether the refugees fleeing the urban shitlib shitrapies have learned anything soon enough, I guess. Whatever the case may be on that, nice work on the New York, New York<\/em> revamp there, buddy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
