GOOD NEWS; BAD NEWS: The blue state exodus is coming into focus.

In a depressing example of irony, the influx of new voters from blue states into red ones has been bringing with it a surge of liberal, Democratic voters. This has led to some traditionally red states becoming increasingly competitive for the Democrats. (Texas is probably the best example, though the tide there hasn’t fully turned yet.)

The grim humor in this is that these migrants seem to fail to realize that the conditions they were fleeing in those blue states were a direct result of the policies put in place by liberals. Higher taxes, more oppressive governmental regulations and “woke” policies that are more tolerant of crime and damaging to traditional values made many of those places basically unlivable. But by coming into red states, where lower costs of living, more freedom, and better security were waiting, and voting the way they always have, they’re basically bringing their own poison with them into their new pool.

That's a strong argument for the Red states to implement Instapundit's 'welcome wagon' idea.

ROGER KIMBALL ON Iran and the Ukrainian Flight 752 shootdown:

Iran’s foreign minister has just introduced a fifth category, akin to what some specialists call the Chewbacca defense: rather than offer a rational and compelling explanation one instead resorts to “intentional distraction or obfuscation.”

It's the coverup. It's always the coverup.

MEGA-HYPOCRISY EXPOSED: You must be vegan because I can't give up my airplane,

“There are things that I can’t avoid. I flew a plane out here today,” said the Golden Globe-winning actor [Joaquin Phoenix]. “But one thing I can do is change my eating habits, and so I just want to urge all of you to join me in that.”

'You're just little people; I'm not.' Does anyone seriously believe that Phoenix is going vegan?
