100% spot on Diane! To your point, there will soon be four more Oregonians hitting the road and heading for Tennessee. Little by little our family is joining us by moving to a freer, less expensive state. Couldn't be happier!

Jo: Congratulations! I will be writing about "living behind enemy lines" this month. Diane

Diane,

My hub and me are talking a move to AZ where we can breathe better air and have some of our freedoms returned, all while living less financially burdened. Hate to leave home, but Hidin’ Biden acting President and Newsom of CA are breaking our backs. We can also get auto registration, food and taxes at better rates, not to mention our insurance is high because we live in CA. Keep writing great articles, thanks!

Joni: We, too, HATED to leave the dream home we built in 1988. BUT, we built it in the wrong location. Who knew that many of our neighbors would turn into hateful Liberals, supporting the Democrat violence? Who knew Portland & burbs would turn into overtaxed, corrupt, crime-ridden cesspools? You will be AMAZED at the amount of extra disposable income you will have AFTER you move! Diane

Diane: I believe it! They are soaking us in CA. Unfortunately, we are in a prime area, nearly connected to a civilized town called, Benicia. We are about 25 minutes from the main area, thank goodness. Still considering AZ. LOL, We have nearly forgotten what civilization really is.

Good day!

Arizona has now been taken over by Communist like Katie Hobbs who is now Governor of Arizona and the state is blue now.

Very sad. Good luck.

I don’t live in AZ but I have friends living there. I live in blue state Newsom country.

I do hope you live outside the SF-LA area! We live part of the year on the Washington Coast and part of the year in South Dakota. The difference is startling! In SD, where we are now, we can breathe free. In Washington we can't and it is getting increasingly oppressive with every legislative session.

Best regards in Arizona where the governor is a commie who stole the governorship.

And so is your Attorney General. Check out an article about Mayes I published 2 or 3 days ago.

I am greatly concerned about the CBDC trial and their feeble attempt to control every purchase I make. Seeking a plan B for banked money, might go to a Credit Union.

Joni: When cash is outlawed it won't matter if your money is in a CU or a bank. That said, we recently closed our last Key Bank account and only use a CU now. Key Bank promotes BLM and ESG. They are helping The Left destroy America. Diane

Joni's avatar

Thanks for the confirmation. I am headed that direction.

I have been following the path of CBDC from the top, and this three week DC trial they are attempting should prove interesting.

Be safe.

I’m afraid for Florida. I feel like I’m already living behind enemy lines. Actually got a great faith boost last night in Daytona Beach Shores, just south of Daytona. My mbandmates were playing at the Eagles, and there isn’t but maybe one liberal allowed at night. She’s 90, so… and those clubs, eagles, vfw’s, are everywhere, and are always busy. So there’s that. But the idiots moving in to the condos they keep building as fast as they can put them up, is getting disheartening.

Unfortunately, they bring their voting practices with them.

Kathy: Yes, unfortunately Liberals can't discern cause & effect. With the new riot refugees from Portland & Seattle, our little beach town at the month of the Columbia River is gaining more & more Democrats. Pacific County, WA barely voted for Trump in 2016 & 2020, but is likely to become a "Biden County" in 2024 even though it is VERY OBVIOUS HE HAS DEMENTIA AND HIS MARXIST POLICIES ARE DESTROYING OUR COUNTRY.

Anyone voting for or supporting any Democrat candidate for any office, anywhere, at any time post-JFK show themselves to be concurrently; seriously ill-educated, gravely uninformed, badly misguided, naïve, morally bankrupt and terminally propagandised! Until the corrupt and treasonous neo-Marxist cabal currently dominating the Democrat Party is crushed, the vapid, compromised RINO elements of the GOP ousted and status quo ‘Uniparty’ politics is completely dismantled, the National decline will continue..

A related factor is the blue states' requirements that health care and government employees be jabbed. That alone may send them packing.

Diane L. Gruber's avatar

Yep! After WA Gov. Inslee mandated that ALL government employees, state, county, city, etc. be jabbed, we lost a very nice neighbor/family. This couple not only moved to Helene, MT, so did their three daughters & their husbands and grandkids. The oppression in WA is palpable.

I left Rochester ny 15 years ago, to get away from the insanity of liberalism in Rochester. The counties surrounding are all conservatives, but the five cities, are bluey blue blue. So I’m not sure where this divorcee thought Rochester was too conservative! Wow.

Alan: I write a series called "Living Behind Enemy Lines." Would you provide me with YOUR tale? I will not reveal your ID. I have written 28 so far. Here is one: https://dianelgruber.substack.com/p/living-behind-enemy-lines-tale-19?utm_source=publication-search
