1) Why Are “Progressives” Denying Minorities the Right To Attend Good Schools?
An update on CTUP’s sister organization Prosperity Now's “George Wallace Democrats” ad ([link removed]) : we are now up to 1.5 million views across all platforms, and it has sparked attention and applause across the country. The goal is five million views so we are just getting started.

This recent tweet is an example of the response it is generating.

The latest version of the ad will be running in North Carolina in the weeks ahead, as Unleash Prosperity Now will try to help push a bold school choice expansion bill over the goal line in Raleigh. The legislature will attempt to override Dem. Governor Roy Cooper’s veto. You may recall that Cooper is so firmly in the hip pocket of the teacher unions that he declared a “state of emergency” to try to stop thousands of minority and low-income kids from attending better schools. (Just like George Wallace.)

If you want information about how you can help to keep this ad running, please contact us.

2) More Good News on School Choice: 71% Now in Favor
In these politically polarizing times, it’s hard to find a solid consensus on just about any issue. But one of those very few issues that almost all thinking Americans who aren’t on the payroll of the teachers' unions agree on is education choice.

[link removed]
Support for school choice has soared across all demographics, including race and political affiliations, since the COVID-19 pandemic, according to recent polling.

The poll, released Tuesday by RealClear Opinion Research, shows that 71% of registered voters now back school choice, which the data aggregator defines as giving "parents the right to use the tax dollars designated for their child’s education to send their child to the public or private school which best serves their needs."

3) Woke CNBC’s Absurd Ranking of Best States to Live In
Here is a headline from USA Today that made our jaws drop and then we rolled over laughing:

[link removed]
“CNBC released its rankings of the best and worst states to live in the United States last week.

One of the 10 criteria for the list is Life, Health & Inclusion, from which CNBC determines the best and worst states to live.”

CNBC allots points ([link removed]) to each state, measuring categories such as per capita crime rates, environmental quality, health care, worker protections, anti-discrimination laws, voting rights, and access to childcare.

The rest of the states that landed on the top 10 worst states ([link removed]) to live and work for 2023 were:
1. Texas
2. Oklahoma
3. Louisiana
4. South Carolina and Alabama (tie)
5. —
6. Missouri
7. Indiana
8. Tennessee
9. Arkansas
10. Florida

Hold on. If a place is one of the “worst places to live,” wouldn’t we see people voting with their feet by moving OUT of those states? Over the past decade, a net of approximately one and a half million Americans moved TO Texas. The only state that has had more net in-migration than Texas is Florida. CNBC ranks Florida as the 10th least desirable state to live in.

These rankings remind us of Yogi Berra's famous line about a restaurant: "Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded."

Here’s a bewildering finding by the experts at CNBC. New Jersey – yes New Jersey – was ranked the 3rd MOST desirable state to live in. Hello. Were these people drunk when they did this rating? More than 500,000 Americans have moved OUT of New Jersey in the last decade. That’s some workers’ paradise. By the way, most of those people leaving Jersey have moved TO Florida or Texas.

Here is the CNBC ranking of the top states:

Top 10 best states to live and work
1. Vermont
2. Maine
3. New Jersey
4. Minnesota
5. Hawaii
6. Oregon
7. Washington
8. Massachusetts and Colorado (tie)
9. —
10. Connecticut

Vermont and Maine are supposedly the two best states to live in. Guess what those two states have in common? They are the whitest states in the country with the lowest share of minorities (along with Wyoming and West Virginia). Seven of the nine states ranked most desirable are whiter than the nation as a whole. So much for “inclusion.”

Who put this rating together? The Ku Klux Klan?

4) Biden’s 16% Inflation Tax
Biden took to Twitter to brag about falling inflation and "lower costs":

[link removed]
So we decided to look at how the costs of various items have changed since Biden took office – but we couldn't find any "lower costs."

On average prices are roughly 16% more expensive today than they were when Biden took office. This is like a 16% sales tax on everything you buy.

Who does Old Joe think he's fooling?
