Moving company U-Haul has released its annual migration ranking, which continues to show a sustained outflow from high-tax, crime-ridden, Democrat-run states toward lower-tax states where law and order are cherished.

Right off the bat, the report's authors note that "Florida ranks 2nd for net gain of one-way customers; California last for sixth year in a row."

U-Haul just released its annual "Growth Index" for all 50 states. For the 6th straight year, California is ranked 50th. We have the highest rate of people moving out versus moving in. Newsom has turned the greatest state in the country into the most popular state to leave.

The U-Haul Growth Index compares one-way truck and trailer rentals into a state versus out of a state, allowing researchers to calculate net migration, which reflects relocation trends nationwide.

This real-time tracker shows that Texas reclaimed the title of the No. 1 growth state for the seventh time in a decade. Florida ranked No. 2, followed by North Carolina at No. 3, Tennessee at No. 4, and South Carolina at No. 5. The common denominator among these states is that politicians are considered more based and grounded in reality than the far-left activists running blue states into the ground (cough, cough Tim Walz).

Conversely, the behavior-based migration indicator shows that blue states such as California ranked dead last - in other words, more people left than arrived. Illinois, New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts, and Maryland also landed at the bottom of the list. The common denominator among these states is that their political leadership focuses on being left-wing activists rather than proper stewardship of their respective states.

Infamous CIA Double-Agent Aldrich Ames Dies At 84
teaser image

In April 1985, Ames began voluntarily providing classified information to Moscow.

Aldrich Ames, one of the most consequential double agents in the history of U.S. intelligence, has died while serving a life sentence in a federal prison in Maryland, according to a report by The Associated Press. Ames, a former senior official at the Central Intelligence Agency, was convicted in 1994 of spying for the Soviet Union and later Russia in what remains one of the most damaging intelligence breaches ever suffered by the United States.
