Look at all the FReeptards flocking to dumb fearporn -- including the Putlim who has never met a DailyMail article he doesn't love -- like mosquitos to the blue light on a hot Arizona night. *zzzzot*

Not one of you have reflected that somehow Schweikert manages to hold onto this seat, who single-handedly ended Son of Quayle's political future.

And despite Schweikert's imperfect record, he is far far better than the alternative, who looked and campaigned a lot like Andrew Gillum -- who nearly beat Greasy except for a last-minute save by President Trump throwing Meatball across the finish line.

But hey, that's just me, and maybe a nod to the Free Republic Misson Statement. Give it a read sometime.

No. Opposite side. Scottsdale Rd and McDonald.

We’ve stayed in Prescott last couple years for a week. Last year we left 60 degree weather in Omaha to go to Prescott and 8” of snow. Place we rented got us a snow shovel so I could shovel a path to our rental car because we didn’t have winter coats or snow shoes. Drove to the Grand Canyon & they had a sign recommending wearing crampons. We were slipping on 6” snow that got pummeled into ice.

PV isn’t all that great, and the Valley itself has worse air quality then many places. all the sprawl growth, constant construction buildings and roads, dusty yards being blown all over daily into the air, airports all busier, brown haze days increasing, more asthma and lung issues for many I knew living out there.

Take me back to Paradise Valley
Where heat and dry are up my alley
I'll stay at the NoTell-Motel
It's desolate and hot as hell

Nobody will look for me here
I can see for miles cuz the skies are clear
I'll ride a Horse with No Name
In the desert you're escaping fame

I hate to say it but where I’m at in AZ, the annual rainfall exceeds that of southern California.☺ With deep wells, projected to have a 100+ year supply.

They are in for a big surprise as the cartels get moved in and more comfortable too.

Idaho is converting farm land into roach motels for the invaders.

Huh?

Sometimes I feel like I’m still in the S.CA barf bucket, but only because we can still watch the Vandenburg launches and nearly everyone I run into seem to be patriots from CA, who like me just wanted out for numerous reasons. 3 of our old neighbors are in our area and every other person we run into seems to be from San Diego...lol

I do, too. On the arid side of the state but a mile from the Columbia River.

I miss San Diego as I knew Every nook and Cranny. From ‘68 to ‘86
and 2000 to 2022-— maybe 40 yrs total.
I couldn’t make it work any longer.
So Adios Muchacho

San Diego area was really nice when it had about 2 million less people.

#7 My parents moved to Scottsdale in the early 1980’s.
It was 120 degrees at Christmas time.
Good thing that was before global warming. It got to be worse now.....

3 months ago my sister was headed East on Hwy 8 into LA Mesa and a homeless man jumped in front of her F250 Truck....
RIP dude.

Sister was not hurt but the Truck-—TOAST

I’m edgy about just visiting.

They flee a democrat-run hellhole that they voted in, moving into a safe and prospering red area. They say phew! And then they continue voting democrat...

These people need to get lost!

Low income. High property crime. Icy cold in the winter. Like much of rural Northern Arizona.

Price of entry in Paradise Valley is now about 2M. Probably worth it if you can afford it, because it will remain permanently unaffordable to the element.
