You mean the state with one of the highest population growths in the US. The one that attracts so many people leaving their blue disasters, to live the way they want? https://www.homesnacks.com/fastest-growing-states/ https://www.statista.com/chart/12484/population-growth-in-the-united-states-by-federal-state/ I suppose you'd prefer Newsom, whose state is losing population as people flee his policies? Why do ya figure so many people are leaving blue states to live in red ones?

It's possible his passport expired and he now has a different passport number than the one on his DL. That was my situation...

Maybe. Maybe not. Not hard to imagine some of the posters here are flying under the radar and wondering if they're at risk. More details would have been helpful.

Lately, they're more akin to spoiler alerts.

At the very least, the jury should know what year it happened...

Sure. But when you throw $ trillions of tax dollars into the wind, it'll be years before we know if those investments paid out. Or whether it's just smoke, mirrors and buying votes. Maybe by the 2028 election, we'll have a clue. But not by November. After November, we should at least start getting credible numbers from the gub'ment agencies that publish those numbers. The ones scared to death of another Trump term.

I'm discussing the jobs added reports. They've overstated almost every month in 2023. I quit paying attention to the unemployment numbers when 300,000 illegals walk in, 200,000 jobs are "created" and yet the unemployment numbers go down. That must be the new math. Not to mention the workforce engagement numbers showing more and more people who aren't even looking for a job. I kinda wonder if they're the ones taking advantage of blue cities decriminalizing shoplifting. When you can swipe $500 a day consequence free, who needs a job?

With all the malicious, partisan driven prosecutions coming at him. I'm surprised the guy hasn't vapor locked already. Which looks like their plan... Exhaust the guy and force some errors. Contrast that with Biden who is handled at every turn and gets about 3-1/2 weeks off each month. And he still loses every encounter with a teleprompter, never mind the disasters off the cuff. But voters see through it and Trumps support and endorsements keep growing.

Seems like the guy's ex is playing the role of a woman scorned, and is bringing the receipts. Literally...

Of course he has. Usually debating with the teleprompter. It rarely goes well.

You mean the trend that says some things are getting back to normal after the Orwellian way the gub'ment handled Covid? In fairness, that wasn't all Biden. But the buck stops at his desk. Just like it stopped at Trump's desk before him.

She was the beneficiary of the people's money that she arranged to pay him. Big showstopper. Not only that, it goes to her ethics, and what other ethical tenets she'd be willing to cast aside. Clouds every case she's ever been involved in.

You mean like they have had to quietly walk back their grand employment announcements just about every month in 2023?

Good catch. That would be an interesting dilemma if he had to resign in the middle of a term.

So is the percentage who are counted because so many have left the labor pool altogether. Not to mention 8 million illegals whose employment prospects are bleak, and not counted in the unemployed column. Some will be absorbed, but a huge number will be a decades long drain on gub'ment resources. Call me cynical, but I don't trust the gub'ment statistics in an election year when the numbers take a left turn in favor of the incumbent, whose party does the counting and the defining. Especially when the feeling on the ground doesn't match.

And what's happened to credit card debt? 'Cause that's what the masses live by... A much better barometer for how the voters are feeling.

You'll have to look for the original statement, but it's been pretty well squelched by the MSM. I'd look, but I'm at Swampy waiting for my flight. And any link that I'd post would get taken down. Because, though it's news right from Joe himself, it won't come from an approved source. The approved sources have long since scrubbed the video.

Like I said. A creamy dream...

It's gonna be Michelle to the rescue. With Newsom as VP. That'll satisfy the DEI mob. Then Michelle will step down and Newsom will get 2.9 terms. It's a creamy dream for the Dems.

Riddle me this... If one of your campaign promises was to end fossil fuels, wouldn't low priced gasoline be sign of a failure? And touting low prices at the pump would be like that guy getting run out of town picking up a baton and pretending he's leading a parade.

1900 hurricane. You can still see the scars around the city 123 years later if you know what to look for. I have a good friend who ran for city office as a Dem. She lost, but we congratulated her for doing better than any other Dem. Right around 10% of the votes. Which also explains why Galveston is thriving. But I suspect the Covid real estate bubble will pop if it hasn't already because of high mortgage rates. Just over an hour from downtown Houston, home prices went crazy during the shutdown.

That warning would be for the expat community.

Most of Galveston's economic growth has been from Houstonians (and California refugees) who started to work from home during Covid and figured out they could work from a beach house as easily as a house in the suburbs. That, and the growth in AirBNB. Lots of them are going to be sorely disappointed when employers keep demanding more and more office time.

Galveston So don't tell me that warm piss is rain.
