Clinton gave the NK's the nuke, Obama gave Russia the Crimea, Biden gave Russia permission to invade the rest of Ukraine - gas is below where it was under both Obama and Biden - and it is all Trump's fault.
The education (K-12) system and the propagandists in the media have finally given the country away.

yeah, GA sent one of each to the senate 6 years ago. Ossoff and Warnok (sp) both at the same time! And now they elected a lady for governor that got kicked out as mayor of ATL after 2 years.
Moved out after the Senators got elected, and now am more that glad I left!

Did you let it expire? I could not find "Atlas Puked?" or "Atlas Puked"

All the promised freebies - none of which can be paid for.

Oklahoma stayed RED! Though the 'new' governor is barely better then his opponent. I found it sad that Trump endorsed him :-(

Can't argue with that, FFA.

Thursday update: Holy smokes, Dow craters over 1200 points. Did somebody wake up?

Overall, we were the only state to hold the Blue at bay. I get more and more concerned how close the races are becoming here though.

It was a sad day for America. Too many people did not look at the modern day EU and realize that is what is coming. At least my state of Florida held the line. It might be the last bastion of Conservative thoughts left. Oklahoma is still pretty reliably red as well.

We already had one foreign born president, and look how that turned out.

I have had a similar dream.
If you are both healthy, I'd advise taking time to visit places that are appealing for at least a few weeks at a time.
SE Asia has lots of interesting places to visit if you can spare enough time to make it worthwhile given the long flight.

That puffball is rotting now. I'd really be accused of racism now. It has turned black!

I keep hearing that too. Won't make the slightest bit of difference, I don't think.

Well, IMO Elon is closer than Trump. But of course he will never be President, unless the Democrats decide to change the Constitution to allow some of their foreign Mullas to become President, and he gets elected by accident.

Then again, it's possible not all Mullas are foreign-born, and they won't have to make any changes. Plus I don't think much of anything is going to happen "by accident" going forward. Demorats (SIC) are so much better at crossing their "t"s and dotting their "i"s and basically just making each other behave.

I completely agree.
And I say that in all seriousness without having fun with my moniker.,

Don't need to guess, what's next, the question should rightfully be: will it finally come to pass?

Still waiting to a massive perp walk but not holding my breath.

I never thought it was good to run Ken Paxton for anything above dog catcher. I am wondering whether there were some Republicans behind his candidacy that perhaps weren't really on the Republican side. I bet Cornyn is laughing his ass off right now.

I think they knew what they were doing. And to think I was so happy to move back to Texas. (I still am because of my family, but certainly not due to any political reasons.)

Mourn for Texas, and the entire U.S., but don't apologize. You had (and still have) nothing to do with the leftist disaster.

Thank you for this super-extensive response, ffa.

And thank you for curing me of the dream I've had for decades of retiring to some Caribbean island paradise, since, apparently, no such paradise exists outside of a vacation, as you point out.

I will now turn my thoughts to Southeast Asia (I have a few Aussie friends who have escaped to Phuket), although that is a heck of a long way away, because my wife, who is five years younger than me and is from the midwest and has no interest in anything foreign, would never consider the possibility of moving there, I'm sure.

When I told her yesterday that it's time to leave ruined Arizona (after her Mom, who we've been full-time caretakers for and is nearing her end, passes away), she did immediately bring up the fact that we had actually put a deposit down on a new construction home in Florida years ago, before then deciding to move here to Scottsdale instead. Her last remaining aunt lives in Ocala, so hopefully the leftists don't decide to infect Florida as they just did with Texas.

I grew up in the NYC area, and I miss the ocean. So that may be my next, and possibly last, move.

Thanks again for all your help!

Apologize for nothing, Nancy. The no-brains who voted these destroyers into office will find out soon enough what whirlwind they have released. Protect yourself, take care of yourself, and I would love to read your book.

And that should be very concerning. A fellow Floridian.

I watched Ohio turn into a socialist wonder overnight on Tuesday. If there was no fraud at the polls, then it's time to go grey, gulch in plain sight if you have no special place to go. There is a tiny window open until January, a time to pressure the so-called conservatives to pass their lame duck legislation in an attempt to slow the socialist "winners" down before the country is turned to slush. Once they are sworn in, any law passed that they don't like will be ignored or voided, and they won't care if it's done legally. Watch your back, Mr. President. Assassination and disappearing opposition will become the new norm as soon as the new powers feel they can get away with it.

I went Galt 4 years ago. Live off a pension, social security, and a part time job.

The key thing that was not done is to reverse all the rules requiring gear for
"SAAAFETY" that add hundreds of pounds and thousands of dollars in prices.
Let the consumer decide how much "SAAAAAFETY" he can afford to pay for.
New economy vehicle prices could be 50% lower and get 30%
higher mpg if government exited the market completely.
Let GM die the death it has earned by its leaders' moronic acts.
Change rules to bring back diesel engines because they were already
clean 20 years ago, and significantly more efficient than gas engines.
D.C. meddling has ruined the productivity of the American people.

Guess what.
