Utah Governor Tells Californians To Stay In California

He’s actually being nice in the manner he puts it, because he’s mostly likely thinking “don’t bring your Modern Socialism wackadoodle moonbattery to Utah”

Utah GOP Governor to Californians fleeing to his state due to crime, taxes: ‘Stay in California’

Utah’s Republican Governor suggested Friday that California residents who are looking to join the recent population exodus into Republican states like Utah should stay in California.

“We’re having the opposite problem, this last census confirmed that Utah was the fastest-growing state in the last ten years,” Utah Gov. Spencer Cox told reporters outside the White House after New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy discussed ways he will encourage people to move to his state.

“So our biggest problems are more growth related. We would love for people to stay in California instead of coming as refugees to Utah, so we’re always trying to figure that out.”

Cox explained that the biggest problems his state faces in terms of growth are housing and water.

“We’re not working to attract more people,” Cox said. “We’re doing just fine that way. Utah was named the best state to start a business, with Texas and Florida number two and three, so we feel really good about that balance and where we are right now.”

I bet if you’re a Conservative you’d be welcome, because they’d be bringing Utah values, rather than the Progressive (nice Fascism) insanity.

Cox’s remarks come as Californians have fled the Golden State at record numbers in recent years due to a variety of reasons that include high taxes, crime, coronavirus lockdowns, homelessness and skyrocketing housing prices.

California saw its population fall by more than 343,000 people in 2022 which was one of the biggest population declines of any state.

It’s so strange that the people who vote for the Democrat politicians who institute hardcore Democrat policies, along with voting for the wacko far left ballot measures, are running from everything they voted for. Did they not think that the fallout would apply to their own lives and money? Their own safety? The problem is, when they flee the People’s Republik Of California they then want to bring the same bat guano insane beliefs with them, and agitate for them.

    Perhaps some of those expatriate Pyrite Staters are from the few who voted sensibly, rather than leftists?

    But housing and water concerns don’t care about a person’s politics; even the furthest left whacko needs water to live.

    Housing? Housing is so overpriced in California that someone who sells his home there is bringing both a bigger down payment, if not the ability to buy a new home for cash, and an elevated expectation of what housing costs, that he might be pushing housing prices higher in Utah.

    • Walter Mintz says:

      It might not be as bad as one might think. If the population of California is decreasing, many will either not sell their home or sell it for much cheaper than it’s worth.

    Yes it is all so true
    Acting under the order of our leader SOROS pioneers are leaving Cali and heading for Red states to begin colonizing them. Former deep red states have turned purple or even blue. Our targets are Alabama, Arizona, North Carolina, and Texas. Recon squads have been sent to Idaho and Utah. Dems almost always win the popular vote, now we are so ing to lockdown that electoral vote. Of course demographics are on our side, GOPers are dying off and covid killed 3 times as many ( maybe 750000), despite their placebo faith in Ivermectin. Restricted abortion will also increase Dem voters rolls in 20 years.
    The largest GOP block are whites and they are failing to reproduce.
    Sorry for the bad news, but such is reality

    Every hate filled comment of H is an example of a person who has lost all reason. No facts, all projection and conjecture. Of course he’s a democrat what else could he be?

  4. Elwood P. Dowd says:

    Why doesn’t Gov Cox and the state legislature just build a wall to keep Californians out? Or at least have checkpoints on the major highways to check for Dem voters?

    The GOP should access a nationwide voter register to keep Dem voters from invading sovereign states such as Utah. The state is about 80% non-Hispanic whites, over 60% Mormon, with a smattering of blacks, native Americans, Asians and some 14% Hispanic whites. Like most American states, Utah ruralites vote overwhelmingly for Republicans, even a deeply flawed man like Trump. Urbanites (Salt Lake and surrounding) vote for Dems. In what should frighten Repubs, large rural counties along the border with Colorado are trending Dem, with Biden even winning Grand County. Utah needs to keep the Dem infiltrators out!! The GOP needs their 6 electoral votes.

    Mr H is correct. The GOP is staring down the barrel of a demographic scattergun. The best case scenario is the GOP will moderate their reactionary positions to attract more voters, but the more realistic approach is conservatives pursuing their white nationalist attempts to rule by power (see 06 Jan 2021).

    • CarolAnn says:

      Since there is no room in your world for opposing ideas, policies or positions, I guess then you and your fellow communists will get your wish and the American Republic will die and a new One Party State will rise in it’s place. Kinda like Nazi Germany or Soviet Russia. Nice job.

      Hopefully we patriots will take as many commies with us as we can. Unless you take our RTKABA away before the gas chambers are open.

      The 20th Century was full of people like you. Predators. Victimizers. Racists. Tyrants. But mostly just Godless immoral liars. Like the aforementioned Nazi’s and Soviet pagans.

      You fit right in Elwood. I can see you in Shindler’s List shooting a Jew in the head for the crime of loving God.

      • Elwood P. Dowd says:

        It’s right-wing snowflakes using the power of the state to restrict books and speech, while simultaneously spreading misinformation. It’s right-wing fascists using the power of the state to control women.

        And it’s right-wing projectionists here who fantasize about murder and mayhem.

        We’ll keep an eye on you folks.

        • Jl says:

          A classic-“right wing restricting speech and books.”. Where’s the right wing restricting speech or books? But anyway, as opposed to the digital McCarthyism imposed by left wing tech giants and the toppling of statues that hurt the feelings of the little snowflakes? “Dad, I feel sick to my stomach, need to go to the doctor..I just glanced at a statue of General Lee…”. “Don’t worry, son, your public school will no doubt have a team of councilors for hurt feelings…”
          “Spreading misinformation”. Another winner! You mean like spreading the Russian collusion misinformation? Or the “there’s no Hunter Biden laptop” misinformation, etc…?

      Well, there’s certainly a precedent set for that, as then Governess Gina Raimondo (D-RI), early in the COVID panicdemic, ordered the Rhode Island State Police to stop all cars with New York license plates, to check to see if the drivers were just passing through or planned to stop in the smallest state, and sent the National Guard door-to-door in beach resort areas to check for New Yorkers and see how long they had been there.

      I complained about it several times, but if the distinguished Mr Dowd ever agreed that such was an unconstitutional use of police power, I missed where he said it.

      • Elwood P. Dowd says:

        The distinguished Mr Dowd does not agree with the kentankerous Dana’s belief that the quarantines were unconstitutional, instituted by either the governor of RI or Reichsstatthalter DeSantis of FL. Mr Dana may recall that these emergency actions were taken during a serious pandemic.

        Governess Cox’s suggestion that Californians stay the hell out of Utah is not unconstitutional either.

          The distinguished Mr Dowd was having a bit of reading comprehension difficulties:

          Actually there was a panicdemic, to be certain, but a pandemic? Of a disease which killed only 2% of those who contracted it, and the great majority of them elderly or with some other health problem? The reactions were seriously extreme for what the disease turned out to be.

          I did not address quarantines at all; I noted that Governress Raimondo used the police power of the state to order traffic stops of people simply because their cars had New York plates. How that would be different from ordering such stops if the state police saw that the drivers were black or had a ‘rainbow’ bumper sticker is something you’d have to explain to us.

          There were court decisions stating that various governors were taking unconstitutional actions, though most involved the selective natures of which organizations were ordered closed down versus closing down things overall. Fortunately, Associate Justice Ruth Ginsberg went to her eternal reward, and was replaced by Amy Barrett, because while Mrs Ginsberg was on the Supreme Court, the Court approved some of the stupidity, and after Mrs Barrett became an Associate Justice, some of those same things were overturned.

          Governess Cox’s suggestion that Californians stay the hell out of Utah is not unconstitutional either.

          Governor Cox is male, and is properly addressed as Governor; Mrs Raimondo is female, and was thus properly addressed as Governess.

          • Elwood P. Dowd says:

            We have no proof of Governatrix Cox’s sex.

            Governor Raimondo of RI was stopping New Yorkers to see if they were passing through or needed to quarantine.

            We understand your need to call a female Governor a governess, after all, you don’t even “feel” women should be able to vote. Anyway, although we appreciate obsolete uses of words as much as the next person, we recognize your objective.

            We’ve heard racists refer to a Black woman as a negress. Do you agree with that usage?

            Ms Dana needs to check his dictionary.

            pandemic:
            : an outbreak of a disease that occurs over a wide geographic area (such as multiple countries or continents) and typically affects a significant proportion of the population : a pandemic outbreak of a disease

    Our Carbon Boy loves to talk about red state blue state things, so I found this interesting.
    (Link doesn’t work, but most times they don’t for me). Florida vs New York-
    Florida has about 2.5 million more people than NY.,but what’s interesting..
    State budgets-NY, 227 billion. Florida, 114 billion. So, more people but half the state budget-with Florida have zero state income tax, and NY’s top rate is 10.9%, 14.8% if you’re in NYC. . Unemployment-NY 4.3%, Florida 2.5%. GDP growth NY 2016-2021, 8%
    Florida 17%. Johnny-what happened to your Trump balloons?

  6. CarolAnn says:

    I just watched Shindler’s List and the similarities between those like Dowd and the Nazi mentality of the last century is staggering.

    Mr Dana may recall that these emergency actions were taken during a serious pandemic.

    The emergency orders of the Third Reich were also legal to the Nazi Dowd’s. See how leftists never change? We all know that at the end of our Constitution are the words: “Everything here, all enumerated rights and laws can be cancelled if any asshole declares “an emergency” or if there is ever a serious pandemic with 1.1% mortality.”

    The pandemic as we now know was basic BS and what was done to the American people was a mass murder of citizens and their freedoms.

    The worse thing ever to happen to the radical left was Musk buying and LIBERATING Twitter so we lowly Dirt People can learn the length and depth of the last 5 years of Leftist Lies, prevarications and Cover-ups. How the leftists in the government and business and media formed a Hitlerian collaboration with hate and destruction of America in their hearts. AND THEY STILL ARE!!!

    • Elwood P. Dowd says:

      You’re an idiot. And it’s Schindler’s List.

      So, the pandemic was mass murder “done” to the American people by Trump? Not even I believe that. That’s idiotic.

      If you think tweeters is in anyway liberating you’re a bigger idiot than we first thought.

      • CarolAnn says:

        Atta boy Elwood, instead of an argument call names. That’s why people stop addressing you. Count me among them and don’t address me.

        BTW, the word negress is a perfectly legitimate word. One needn’t be a racist to use it. But you only see race when it’s to your convenience.

        • Elwood P. Dowd says:

          You poor thing. You call others “Nazis”, but object to your idiotic statements being pointed out? Now, that’s funny!

          Depart, in peace. May Allah bless you and yours.

          Nota bene: Idiotic statements will still be pointed out as idiotic.

          BTW:

          Negress
          noun
          Ne·?gress ?n?-gr?s
          plural Negresses

          dated, usually offensive
          : a Black woman or girl

          Many words and phrases are legitimate but still inappropriate, e.g., peckerwood, whitey, honky, bitch, whore, cunt, retard, you think like a girl, that’s white of you, etc.

          Like Mr Dana, by all means keep using antiquated words to diminish others. Call Black women “negresses”. Call Black men “boys”. Call a woman governor “governess”. Call a woman US Senator “Senatrix”.
