Reflections From a Murky Pond

Bad policies matter, something that Democrats, the primary source of policies which are untenably bad for those who actively contribute to and grow the economy, don’t seem to be able to learn this. Or, since those who can be described as the Makers aren’t normally their constituencies, they don’t care. That’s why a lot of these Makers are voting with their feet.

Now, nationally it’s still a small thing, but one that has increased dramatically. Only about 2.5% of the current US population has emigrated. But that’s a little over double what it was 20 years ago. The numbers of wealth generators, i.e., actual taxpayers, who have internally migrated is far more stunning, and that’s what is actually important.

Which States Are Winning And Loosing

As you can see, people with wealth are leaving Blue States in very expensive droves. Well, expensive to the Leftist governments of those Democrat safezones. Loosing over $55 billion in residents’ Annual Gross Income is no small or easily coped with thing for state governments. And the numbers shown are just personal monies. It doesn’t include all the businesses moving out of Democrat-controlled zone.

And, while this is going to have very large impact on politics, the economic impact and the follow-on effects thereof are going to be more important as we move into the not too distant future. It is not unwarranted to posit that many of the Left-wing areas will go the way of Detroit, which is still on track for effective abandonment, not being able to sustain its infrastructure without the tax monies of those who fled mismanagement and a government antagonistic towards those who generate actual wealth.

Yeah, millions of Americans are voting with their feet. And, their voting against Democrats’ bad ideas and punitive policies.

Creepy Uncle Joe has a border crisis on his hands and the situation is both accelerating and degenerating. Worse, he, his handlers, and their team don’t have any answers to it, much less a solution they find viable. And, it’s not the actual humanitarian and national security crisis devolving at our border that his overseers had him cause. It’s a more personal crisis. It’s the fact that he is more and more being called out on the fact that he hasn’t even visited the border and has no good, honest reason for that which would sit well with the electorate at large.

Biden’s excuses have also fallen flat.

I’ve been there before, and I haven’t — I mean, I know it well. I guess I should go down. But the — but the whole point of it is: I haven’t had a whole hell of lot of time to get down. I’ve been spending time going around looking at the $900 billion worth of damage done by — by hurricanes and floods and — and weather, and traveling around the world.

— Joe Biden
CNN Town Hall

Except that Biden’s travel has only included two short trips involving weather-related disasters – and one to California where his planned agenda was partially preempted by a wildfire – but over 20 trips to either his home or beach house in Deleware, and he’s only made one international trip.

Even his office’s official mouthpiece, Jennifer Psaki, hasn’t had anything to say on the issue that wasn’t an embarrassment.

He did drive through the border when he was on the campaign trail in 2008. And he is certainly familiar with the fact — and it stuck with him — with the fact that in El Paso, the border goes right through the center of town.

— White House Press Secretary, Jennifer Psaki

That’s just sad. I’m no fan of Psaki but reading her statement just hurts and makes me feel sorry for her. Worse, she continued on with the statement that Biden had “worked on these issues throughout his entire career.” Except that there is absolutely no record of him doing anything involving immigration until his time as Obama’s Vice President, during which he did meet with some Central and South American leaders well away from the US-Mexico border.

Yep. Almost exactly like the real Border Crisis, Biden and Co. have nothing to stem or roll back his more personal border crisis, and more and more people on both side of the Divide are coming to realize that.

Certain sorts, all of which are either Democrat politicians or likely Democrat voters, have been stridently, cruelly, and insanely attacking President Trump and the American people over the Border Crisis and its resultant deaths among those trying to illegally enter our country.

Of course, these sorts are not attached to the truth, especially when any truth is contrary to their dystopian, anti-American and anti-White fantasies. The truth is that our nations borders are more secure and safer, even for illegal aliens, now than at any time in decades. Under President Trump’s oversight there’s been an approximately 22% decline in fatalities involving border crossings compared to those under Obama’s watch. This,despite the unheard of increase in illegal crossing attempts, most of which occurred in huge waves.

And, as a side note, The Trump Administration has also so far not made a habit of giving unaccompanied minors caught at the border to human traffickers, something the Obama Regime cannot claim.

But then, this false narrative created by the demagoguery of leftist and racist politicians and their dutiful media shills is just an extension of the similar lies about “children in cages” – yet another legacy of the Obama Regime. It’s just that Obama was a Black and the sort incessantly attacking President Trump would never say anything against him due to that. That’d be racist!

But hey! It’s not as if facts, truth, or the reality on the ground is going to dissuade Americans’ domestic enemies. Honestly, we need to put that fantasy aside along with our compunctions and do what’s needed to preserve our nation… After all, that’s one part of what the 2nd Amendment was crafted for.

It’s quite true that illegal immigrants come to America with far more and far worse than the clothes on their backs. They invade our nation carry with them a plethora of diseases and parasites, putting our people – especially our elderly and our children – at risk.

And again, this is quite true despite our domestic enemies’ and their dutiful intelligentsia’s repeated claims to the contrary. Their refutations are nothing but claims that there has been to-date “no significant” impact upon American society from immigrant-borne diseases and parasites. But by what criteria does one judge significance? And, when has America ever had to deal with an invasion of illegals at the scale that we now face?

Our domestic enemies certainly have no consistent of objective answer to the question of significant impact. Just refer to how the scream about measles outbreaks and vilify the anti-vaxxers as some sort of apocalyptic plague bringers. And this is measles we’re talking about, not something far worse for either the victims or society as a whole.

Measles Mortality Risks:

• 1:10,000 (0.01%) of measles cases are fatal
• 3-3.5:10,000 (0.03–0.035%) of measles cases result in seizure
• 1:20,000 (0.005%) of measles cases result in measles encephalitis
• 1:80,000 (0.00125%) of cases result in permanent disability
• 7:1,000 (0.7%) of cases are hospitalized

Yet they utterly ignore America’s most lethal and widespread disease, the common, ordinary, nameless Flu, which has an 18% mortality rate and claims the lives of 36,000 Americans annually, again mostly small children and the elderly.

Yeah, those sorts who will say anything to refute the clear and present dangers and health risks that illegals present to Americans have no measurable basis for their stance on the issue. Then, like with most things, our domestic enemies’ stance on this is based upon Identity Politics and hate, not statistics or other repeatable facts.

Yeah! Certain sorts that Americans are still having to deal with came up with this as a doomsday scenario in the event that President Trump used his lawful authority to close the US-Mexico border in response to the growing crisis there. Avocados! We won’t have Avocados!

Holy guacamole, indeed! But then, this sort of hysterical lunacy is what happens when our domestic enemies try to come up with some sort of compelling reason that closing the US-Mexico border would be bad for- and/or somehow harm the American people.

Admittedly, in the past some Dems have made more cogent, if heinous, arguments for keeping that border as open as possible while, perforce, not changing immigration laws.
