Riveting Reason: 'America's Cities Need Republicans and I'm Becoming One'

Riveting Reason: 'America's Cities Need Republicans and I'm Becoming One' - By Nick Arama 

"...Now, Eric Johnson, the mayor of one of the largest cities in the country — Dallas — is speaking out and revealing why he's decided to switch from a Democrat to a Republican in a Wall Street Journal op-ed.
He says it all in the title, "America’s Cities Need Republicans, and I’m Becoming One."
Johnson explained how he'd been successful in reducing crime and property taxes in Dallas by adhering to Republican principles.

I have been mayor of Dallas for more than four years. During that time, my priority has been to make the city safer, stronger and more vibrant. That meant saying no to those who wanted to defund the police. It meant fighting for lower taxes and a friendlier business climate. And it meant investing in family friendly infrastructure such as better parks and trails.

That approach is working. Alone among America’s 10 most populous cities, Dallas has brought violent crime down in every major category, including murder, year-over-year for the past two years...

All—As In All—Of The “Climate Change Made This Event More Likely” Claims Are False

All—As In All—Of The “Climate Change Made This Event More Likely” Claims Are False - BY BRIGGS

• Here’s a typical recent propaganda headline: “Climate change made Libya flooding 50 times more likely: Report.” This is not so.
• Here’s another recent one from PBS: “Climate change made global summer droughts 20 times more likely” Also not true.
• The Guardian, recent: “Current heatwave across US south made five times more likely by climate crisis.” Nope.
• AP, recent: “Heat wave in Asia made 30 times more likely because of climate change, scientists say“. Nuh-uh.

There are only a handful from an ever-increasing supply. 

The genre is now routine. 

Indeed, headlines like these are now seen whenever a weather-related event classified as “bad”, like a flood, is identified. 

Once the event is tagged, somebody rushes to microphone and says “climate change” did it...

Top Senate Democrat bucks Schumer over Senate dress code: 'We need to have standards' - TheBlaze

Top Senate Democrat bucks Schumer over Senate dress code: 'We need to have standards' - TheBlaze: 

Fetterman wasted no time taking advantage of the new Senate dress code. On Wednesday, he presided over the chamber wearing casual clothes, mocking criticism of his wardrobe choices after his session was complete. While Durbin's comments are significant because of the weight he pulls in the Democratic caucus, Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) has vowed to "hold decorum of the Senate" while lawmakers like Fetterman strut around in unprofessional garb.

"The 2024 national and state elections will be won or lost not with consultants, ads, yard signs or harvesting ballots at evangelical churches, but with the aggressive application of advanced technology.
We live in a tech-driven age.
Unfortunately, this past week, the Fractal team learned the RNC wasted tens of millions of dollars investing in obsolete, 1980s technology. 

 If left to the RNC data team, GOP candidates will lose every close election in 2024...

Massachusetts Mayor Scott Galvin Sounds Alarm on Woburn Migrant Crisis | National Review

• The Democratic mayor of a small Massachusetts city is urging state lawmakers to reform a 40-year-old “right-to-shelter” law that is putting immense strain on the area as thousands of migrant families arrive.

"...Under the 1983 right-to-shelter law, Massachusetts officials are legally required to offer housing to any homeless families seeking shelter in the state. 

The law now covers a rising influx of migrant families, although individuals are not covered under its provisions.
Galvin told the New York Times the law was “passed at a different time, and was not meant to cover what we’re seeing now.”...

"...across the entire country..."

"Argentina is a developed country, with an educated population, a huge middle class, and tremendous natural resources....
The problem is inflation — 165% inflation as of July, according to Steve Hanke's inflation index, which is the most accurate reading.
Tucker Carlson went down to Buenos Aires to find out exactly what that is like, exploring in a mere ten minutes on Twitter just how normal people have to live with it on an extended basis, all because its socialist government can't stop printing money.
It's a doozy. See it here...
