The state Capitol in West Virginia opened in 1933. Designed by Cass Gilbert, he used its east wing as a model when he designed the U.S. Supreme Court building. The Capitol has everything and at one point, it housed all of the state’s government — except for regional offices such as State Police offices.
I just read an article about Mr. Trump's plan to end homelessness and it is worth looking at what he proposes. I received my information from "bostonherald.com." and it is similar to an idea I have commented on for a long time, but here is what I have proposed. Turn all your unused military bases into housing. The buildings are all there. They all have running water, dispensaries, hospitals and kitchens. Instead of the hundreds of thousands of "Charities" all wanting to "Help the homeless" and end drug addiction (San Francisco actually gives the street people 'free' drugs and the money to help buy the narcotics the city won't give them). Most of these charities founders end up living life LARGE instead of what they are supposed to do. Redo these military bases and if these people still want to live in tents and get messed up every day and live like the animals they have become, let them.
I live in NC. We are going Red. But we are also part of the RINO zoo. We are working on that.
This Saturday Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, is announcing his candidacy for Governor, in 2024.
Marc Robinson is a Constitutional red blooded American Patriot. I listen to his speeches, just to make my day better. I will be at his announcement, and report it here on my substack acct., 'The Red Anthropologist.'
He will win big. We still have rotten Dem. Governor Roy Cooper, who is now facing a veto proof legislature.
We have a Senator, Ted Budd, who has already announced his support for a Trump 3rd term.
NC was hit by the mid term red wave, and nobody is talking about it.

In order to make voting Republican seem like a good idea one must be able to think. In order to be able to think one must be encouraged to think as a child, as an adolescent and as a young adult by an education system that values, nurtures and promotes that skill… and that skill has not been taught, nurtured or promoted in the education and University system for at least 40 years continent wide.
You nail the political dynamic perfectly. Florida is doing well. And glad to hear that WV is turning the corner. Here’s the problem, and I’m not being glib. In AZ we have Republicans helping Democrats steal elections.This isn’t hypothetical. It’s real. We are not a Blue state. We didn’t elect a bunch of commies to run the state. The evidence that our elections are rigged is substantive and the breadth and audacity of the fraud is amazing. The courts seem to look the other way, refusing to consider evidence that more than meets the AZ constitutional threshold to invalidate elections. To compound matters, the same crap is happening in many other states. Our elections are rigged, and not just because Democrats ballot harvest. They cheat ten different ways, and probably more. Many “Republicans” out here are in on the cheating. Some of them control the cheating. The Uniparty is not imaginary. They are participating in the destruction of the country because they are in on the grift or frightened or both. If we can’t have fair and transparent elections, we’re done.
And what comes next is bad no matter how it goes. There’s wisdom in your recommendation, but I’m tired of being stabbed in the back by “Republicans”. At the end of the day, a lot of these people vote against their constituency’s
Interests on the issues that matter. That’s why the country is bankrupt. That’s why we have “conservatives” like John Roberts on the Supreme Court creating legal theories out of thin air to justify Obamacare, which is exactly the boondoggle some of us knew it would be. We can’t win at anything with weak and /or corrupt weasels as the mainstream Republicans in office and on the courts.
Don, you may recall I was in the business of supplying potable water for 40 years. California's stupidity is even worse than you shared. In the early '60's the Army Corps of Engineers had plans drafted to build a series of dams, similar to the White River system in AR and MO. The dams would have controlled the annual flooding/mudslides in southern CA, provided trillions of gallons of water storage for drought periods, provided many megawatts of hydroelectric power, and provided fantastic recreational and upscale housing opportunities. Win/win/win.
Opposition surfaced from rabid enviro-whackos, led by Linda Ronstadt and her then flame good ol' Governor Moonbeam. They raised so much hell the ACE decided it wasn't worth the battle, and shelved the plans.
While you love to see people leave these shitholes they are also a threat to carry some of the stupidity in their luggage witness Austin The commie way is identify ,isolate and destroy a target .They have already done higher education and and the political process is well underway.Then we get Hogans and Dewiners repubs in name only.Lord help the U.S.A..Great column Don and easy poll.
Correlation is not causation. The improved welfare of Republican states is, I believe, more due to not being under Democrat control than Republicans in charge.
There are SOME state houses controlled by Republicans that succeed in spite of themselves (much like most of this nation's corporate sector). Texas, for example - thank God there are enough MAGA Republicans in the Republican caucus in both chambers to keep the state GOP RINOs in check. Were it not the case, we would see Dade Phelan capitulating to Trey Martinez Fischer and celebrate selling out as bipartisanship on every piece of legislation, and in the senate it would be the same between the jellyfish Bettencourt, and the vacuous pinhead Alvarado.
Voting Republican is no guarantee that your state won't become a sh*thole - it only improves the odds against it.
When will enough people realize that Warren Buffett is merely the clone of George Soros?
That's certainly a great idea. Vote Republican to get a Republican-controlled state. The problem is that too many are not really Republicans. They are squishes in for the grift and graft. I blame the education system and personal weakness.
I cannot really add much to todays writings! Never have I seen so many doing so little to either correct let alone save our Republic. They have devised such a monumental cheating scam yes I'm not sure how anybodies vote counts. All the rules and regs the feds put in place to curb emissions from coal and natural gas power plants somehow haven't been enough, Someone esplain to me how in the hell we can have nuclear powered aircraft carriers, submarines, etc and they seem to work quite well, but NIMBY mentality? Our elites have f..cked us in the a.. for decades, shipping all to China, energy, jobs, etc etc etc. How in the hell this doesn't turn ugly is beyond me! These inmates have been running the asylum a long time and most everybody is asleep, uncomfortably so. Look at the new senator Lurch from Pa. he like Biden cannot even complete a thought let alone a sentence thats not some kinda word salad. No one says shit, I can't believe it! Then VP Harris is just as dumb as the other two. I think it was the comedian Ron White that said "you can't fix stupid" I'm not sure when this shit show will end, it just keeps rolling along and along and along, They shall be comfortable ruling over the ashes, the past proves this very easily. After Elon Musks interview with Tucker, Skynet is awaiting it's turn, Hal open the podbay doors........
Wouldn't work here. The state Repooflicans make noise but never actually oppose anything. They're happy to take bribes from the same agencies and corporations who run the other party.
The Republicans are not much better than the Democrats. For every Jim Jordan, there are two Mitt Romney‘s
The only real difference is the Democrats stick together, and are purely evil human beings.
What's really scary to me is that the democrats get any votes for their candidates!
If the mainstream media ever started to report the news honestly, democrats would rarely win a fair election ever again.

I'm taking a break from reposting by switching to encouragement through gratefulness. You're the epitome of a journalist. You're hard work inspires.
"Too costly to operate? The plant is powered by gravity." A good summary of democrats.
Preach, sir.
