Republican-led states are gradually committing more of their state’s National Guard troops and law enforcement officers to support operations to secure portions of the U.S. southern border. The troop and police deployments come as border officials are still evaluating how the repeal of Title 42 impacts cross-border traffic flow into the United States. Following the…

Jamie Dimon, CEO of JP Morgan Chase, expressed his choice of Florida and Texas for their pro-business approach, suggesting that other states have much to learn from these red states. “We’ve loved Florida. We’re growing in Florida left and right, you know, small businesses, large companies … I’ve forgot how many total employees we have…

A new report finds that national renewable energy capacity rose last year, with wind and solar up 16 percent compared to 2021. Red states are leading the United States in both wind and solar power, according to the report by Climate Central, a nonprofit science communication organization. Texas, in particular, is a leader in both solar and wind power,…

The San Francisco Board of Supervisors may soon pull its boycott on conservative red states after the move backfired and hurt the city’s finances as it begins to deal with budget shortfalls.

And as a result of its political divisions, America appears to now be dividing itself into prosperous, high-growth states…

Commentary I have written before—and am writing in more detail in my (slowly) forthcoming book “The Southbound Train”—how the new political migrants to red states from blue are often more devoted constitutional conservatives than the longtime residents of those supposedly conservative red states themselves. It’s the reverse of the cliché that many believed—that the refugees…

Commentary According to Clay Travis on Dec. 22’s Clay Travis-Buck Sexton Radio Show, the blue states are hemorrhaging people. From the transcript: “And they came out with the data on, the Census data for 2021, and—this is interesting—New York was the number one state to lose population. Around 320,000 New Yorkers bailed on the state….

Commentary Even if you’re watching Fox News, the former broadcast media of choice for conservatives, the absence of reporting on Nov. 3, 2020 feels like an alternate universe.
