Moving stories

By Mike Huckabee

Here are a couple of moving stories, and I don’t mean emotionally, unless you get choked up at how badly leftists are destroying once-great states and cities and forcing people to move out.

First, we knew a lot of people had been fleeing California, but researchers from California Police Lab were surprised to discover just how many. From the end of March 2020 to the end of September 2021, they found a 12% increase in residents moving out of California and a 38% decrease in people moving in. While this was a statewide phenomenon, the worst gap was in the most liberal city in California, San Francisco, where there was a 12% increase in residents leaving for other states and a 45% drop in people moving there.

I’m sure all the leftists running California will find something other than themselves to blame, like earthquakes or wildfires. In fact, between earthquakes, wildfires and leftist governance, earthquakes are the state’s only natural disaster that isn’t directly related to Californians voting for leftists.

Maybe in San Francisco, they can claim that so many people are moving out because now that they all have a full set of stolen Louis Vuitton luggage, they want to use it.

Our other moving story gives new meaning to the phrase, “Let the buyer beware,” especially if you’re thinking of buying a house.

The major real estate websites Redfin and Realtor.com announced that they will stop including neighborhood crime data in their listings because for some inexplicable reason, that’s apparently racist now.

Realtor.com’s CEO issued a statement “explaining” this change. After some PC boilerplate about how some people may be blocked from buying homes in their preferred neighborhoods due to their race, gender, sexual orientation or religion (which is illegal, by the way, so anyone actually experiencing that would have grounds for a lawsuit), it goes on to claim that “Reported crimes may not accurately reflect actual crimes,” and that “crime statistics risk including racial bias…There’s real variety in how people define and evaluate safety, and…it doesn’t line up very well with purely crime-based data…People are interested in safety, not crime.”

So to help potential buyers, including law-abiding minority members, evaluate whether a neighborhood is safe or not, they’re not to tell them what the crime rate is? I’m used to liberals making no logical sense, but this sounds like someone has actually stolen their brains.

    Mike Nesmith died from congestive heart failure. Wonder if he had recently had a covid vaccine shot?

    Recently my wife and I were looking at homes for sale on Realtor.com. We noticed that they have all of a sudden (last few days) removed a feature that displays the levels of crime in the area in which your potential home is located using shades of color as a designator. Just seemed strange after Realtor.com made their most recent statements.

    On my way to church something came over me....what if planes dropped ballots for illegal voting? How would we combat that? YES, brainwashing has, and is, taking place...Forced lock downs, masks, vaccines, mandates, microships: ( Now hearing what's inside vaccines (I refused). Dem's crimes aren't usually punished on this earth! Praise Heavenly Father through our lord and savior Jesus.

    If you ever get to west Texas we would love to have you preach at our little Baptist Church at Sheffield. If you are looking for a job, we are looking for a pastor. Although this note is sort of tongue in cheek. It true. Bless you.

    By Redfin and Realtor.com saying listing crime data for neighbors is racist, is'nt there reasoning also racist? Since they are assuming that a particular ethnic groups are the reason for the crimes.

    Well I will tell you Mike that we moved from the Erie PA. area to Tennessee last year because of the lousy weather, high taxes, and the regulations are creeping out into the rural areas where we lived. We love Tennessee, it is a good place to retire and just since we moved here we run into people all the time that are moving here from California, Illinois, Michigan and a lot of other Democrat run places. Surprisingly almost everyone we met so far have been like minded people like us, Christian and conservatives. We have been worried about liberals coming here and ruining Tennessee like they did to Washington state, Oregon and Colorado. It is wonderful here and most everyone goes to church and loves the LORD! What will California be like when all the conservatives are gone? Sam and Vicki Sontheimer.

    I have a question that is driving me crazy!! Since the Biden Administration has cancelled Trump's border wall----and has left all the steel panels rusting in the sun-----why can't Greg Abbott cite the Federal Govt with littering and abandoning trash and simply declare it litter, and pick it up and use it for the Texas border wall? Isn't it sort of like salvaging on the open sea--only this is salvaging abandoned materials on land? They would simply be recycling trash. Can you find an answer??? Thank You!

    "People are interested in safety, not crime."

    Did some realtor actually type this schtick with a straight face? Seems pretty evident to me that the one directly impacts the other. Then again, I guess the average ideologue on Left only consider a thing a "crime" if it impacts THEIR safety.
