Texas cities see some of the biggest gains in population

 Breitbart:

The top 15 cities to experience the greatest population growth by percentage from 2020 to 2021 were in Texas, Arizona, Florida, Idaho, and Tennessee, Axios reported Monday.

“The U.S. is spreading out, heading South and West and creating new boomtowns, tech hubs and rising power centers,” according to the report.

Analyzing new data from the U.S. Census Bureau, the outlet found that Georgetown, Texas, had the most growth between July 2020 to July 2021 at 10.5 percent, “a rate that would double the population in less than seven years.”

The cities that followed in growth were Leander, Texas (10.1 percent); Queen Creek Town, Arizona (8.9 percent); Buckeye, Arizona (8.6 percent); and New Braunfels, Texas (8.3 percent).

Then came Fort Myers, Florida (6.8 percent); Casa Grande, Arizona (6.2 percent); Maricopa, Arizona (6.1 percent); North Port, Florida (5.5 percent); Spring Hill, Tennessee (5.4 percent); Goodyear, Arizona (5.4 percent); and Port St. Lucie, Florida (5.2 percent). The final three fastest growing areas were three suburbs of Boise, Idaho: Meridian (5.2 percent), Caldwell (5.2 percent), and Nampa (5. 0 percent).

Most of the cities on the list either strongly lean Republican or have a more purple voter demographic. In stark contrast, U.S. Census Bureau population estimates show Democrat-run Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York City leading the way in urban residential decline.

The data reveals eight of the 10 largest cities in the U.S. lost population up to mid-2021. Specifically between July 2020 and July 2021, New York lost more than 305,000 people, while Chicago and Los Angeles contracted by 45,000 residents and 40,000 people, respectively.
...

Conroe north of Houston has also seen explosive growth and at one point was designated the fastest growing city in the US.  But other Texas cities are also growing.  The cities closest to the rural area where I live are building homes as fast as they can.  They include the Bryan-College station area where Texas A&M is located as well as small communities like Navasota and Brenham.  Even Washington, Texas which has been something of a ghost town area is seeing growth.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t...

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
