Seattle businesses are in a 'PANIC' following the election of a socialist mayor

Two years ago, Chicago voted in Brandon Johnson, a socialist in all but name, as mayor.

Things are going poorly.

Now New York City, in Zohran Mamdani, and Seattle, with Katie Wilson have elected out-of-the closet socialists to lead their cities.

As Milton wrote in Paradise Lost, "Abandon hope all ye who enter here."

Mamdani is NYC Mayor Thanks to Young People and Foreign-Born New Yorkers

History isn't taught anymore, Megyn Kelly says here.

That move brought us Zohran Mamdani.

Douglas Murray predicts mass number of New Yorkers will flee because of Zohran Mamdani

“When there have been exoduses of people from for instance progressive states, liberal states like California in the past, you see a phenomenon,” author Douglas Murray tells Sky News' Rita Panahi, “where people end up leaving a place where the policies they have effectively voted for most of their lives come into effect, make their lives worse and then some people who can flee, flee to a place that has more conservative politics, but they bring their liberal politics with them.”

“In Texas, where many people from California, fled California, they go to places like Austin, Texas, and they keep voting Democrat.”

That last part needs to change.

Steve Earle: Feel Alright

I'm a little late on this story, I want to bring up the recent passing of Chicago artist Tony Fitzpatrick.

He was a local rarity who had friends on both sides of the political aisle.

I might be wrong, but I believe Fitzpatrick designed the artwork for every Steve Earle album cover since I Feel Alright from 1996.

Here's the title track, minus the "I," from that work--a very good work--from Earle, "Feel Alright."
