And they are bringing their blue state voting preferences, along with their blue state values. All they are looking for is a tax break. We don't need any more blue state liberals here in Florida.

It’s happening here even in Nebraska. It used to just be a Colorado issue in this region. But California liberals are beginning to migrate to us as well. Thankfully our modest state infrastructure deters most from moving west of Lincoln and Omaha so it’s still free America out here largely but still they bring their problems with them their voting habits and their overinflated lifestyles which allow them to buy homes at above our normal market value here and it jacks up our home prices and markets for us in the median income range in Nebraska. then there is the situation that they who may say they are a California Conservative but turn out to be very liberal for Nebraska once they get here and you start talking to them.

I was really discouraged at the results of the presidential election. That following Sunday my pastor made an excellent sermon that struck a chord.
The idea was that no matter how this election turned out God is in control and his perfect will absolutely prevail. No outside elections, migratory liberals etc can change Gods will. It may change our surroundings but Gods will ,will prevail no matter the circumstances.

Is it God's will for any to perish?
The obvious answer is, no and yet, most people do.
And if God's will is done in everything, then why are we told to pray, "thy will be done in Earth as it is in heaven"?
Jesus told us to pray so that God's will will be done in Earth as it is in heaven. Which means, his will will not be done until we pray.
It's just like someone God wants to save, if they don't do something like, pray, then God's will is not done in that person's life. Same goes for good health and healing. If a person doesn't pray, God's Will has not been done in their life.
If you do nothing, then you empowered and gave the devil the ability to interfere and have his will done, rather than God's.

There is no substitute for prayer. Prayer is important however our prayers must fall into agreement with Gods will and greater plan. He tells us. No, Yes or wait according to his will for us. He is not a genie in a bottle. If your prayer is against his plan he will not hear it and your answer will be no. I’m not going to debate this tonight. We are to trust Gods will. He gives us the ability to make choices but he ultimately is in control because decisions made apart from him will cause nothing but disappointment, pain and destruction.

Proverbs16:9
A man’s mind plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps and makes them sure

Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your pathsstraight.

I haven't read all this, but have read through info at other sites that speak of the great exodus from blue states
The people who created the blue states -- the voters -- don't like what they see after decades of liberal nonsense. But they will not abandon their Leftist ideology, and therefore create more blue states after migration. Now let's see what the governors of the red states will do to prevent another disaster.

that is the thing. liberals flee the big city mess which they created, then go somewhere else and insist on installing the same polices that created the big city mess.

Feel the same. Blues state liberals can stay where they are.

Red states can build a wall to keep out the Blue deplorables.

That's the ideal solution. The southern border states should have built a wall 200 years ago. Now all of a sudden they (some) are waking up and saying "Our border is our responsibility". Always too little and too late.

The US southern border is a joke and is now getting more porous due to lack of enforcement. It is indeed a crisis. Major crime increase in Democratic controlled cities. Some CNN idiot said it is OK to loot Walgreen's and CVS pharmacies "'cause they need that stuff". China is going to continue to roll the US in trade and Russians will hack away at the infrastructure. The White House is now an assisted living facility for Biden. It's getting bad and sad in America. God save the queen 'cause we don't have a president.

I have wondered what is going on down there :unsure: Perhaps that is one more very good reason for leaving Florida as you have. If a nation cannot control its borders, it is in deep doo doo :censored:

Yes, it was time to leave Florida as it is becoming more liberal each day despite having an excellent Republican governor. I know that he is no longer in office but Tennessee remains very much Trump country. You can see the 10 commandments posted outside a lot of business establishments. Very much part of the bible belt too. I really didn't care much personally for the man but thought that Trump was a very good president. At least he was the most interesting president that I have known.

I suspect that the queens will be running every state before too long.

Surely you are not referring to drag queens? But then again the corruption of America is evident in every state, some more so than others. Which does not not mean that other Western nations are exempt. Probably worse.
