Massive Tech Company Announces It's Leaving California for Texas

Oracle, one of the San Francisco Bay Area’s most deeply rooted software companies, has packed up and moved to Texas amid an exodus of Silicon Valley tech companies from California.

Everything is bigger in Texas — minus the absurd taxes, the COVID lockdowns and the constraints on business.

As notable businesses flee California’s overbearing regulations, Oracle has joined them, Bloomberg reported. Per Oracle, the move will offer employees greater flexibility with regard to where they work, either from home or in a physical office space.

That seems like a polite way of saying that running a business from an expensive state which places never-ending lockdown restrictions and other mindless burdens on its citizens is no longer tenable.

The company of course didn’t say it would leave the state of its birth for reasons related to the pandemic, or to taxes. But, it’s difficult to imagine those factors didn’t play a role in the decision.

California, even with its scenic beaches, mountains and pleasant year-round temperatures, has long been a challenging place to do business, and the coronavirus pandemic has shown that the state’s Democratic leadership is willing to prioritize unscientific restrictions on personal movements, and virtue signaling, above business.

Bloomberg reported Oracle, whose name was on the arena in Oakland where the NBA’s Golden State Warriors recently won three championships, has moved its main office away from Redwood City, California. Now, the company is now calling Austin, Texas, home.

The move “means that many of our employees can choose their office location as well as continue to work from home part time or all of the time,” Oracle said in a regulatory filing Friday, according to Bloomberg.

The outlet added Oracle will still “support” other company locations in California, Washington state, Colorado, Florida and Massachusetts. The company had opened its Austin location in 2018.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott lauded the news on Twitter

“BREAKING: Oracle just announced they have moved their Headquarters to Austin. Texas is truly the land of business, jobs, and opportunity. We will continue to attract the very best,” Abbott tweeted.

The move should send a loud message to California’s inept government leaders. Years of poor leadership has sent businesses away in droves. Now, another iconic California business has chosen...

Dick Morris to Newsmax TV: Dems Preemptively 'Intimidated' SCOTUS on Packing

All the campaign talk about packing the Supreme Court, if not term limits on justices, was by design in the Democrats' election playbook to "intimidate," according presidential strategist Dick Morris on Newsmax TV.

"The Supreme Court is after justice, of course, but primarily they are after making sure the Supreme Court survives – that's their institution and that's their duty," Morris told Saturday's "The Count." "I believe the Supreme Court was sent a message by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and the Democratic Party during the election.

"And the message was: 'If you overturn this election, we will pack you, and make your Court basically meaningless."

Morris made the bold statement as his explanation for why the SCOTUS refused to hear an "original jurisdiction" case put forth by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in Texas v. Pennsylvania. The Court rejected the case on "standing," but there is no place to hear a state versus state case other than SCOTUS, Paxton lamented to host Tom Basile earlier in the show.

"They knew they were committing this fraud," Morris adding, referring to the Democrats' mass mail-in ballot election to defeat President Donald Trump. "They knew what was going around this country."

The SCOTUS talk before the election was effectively a "shot across the bow," Morris added, saying the SCOTUS justice decided "discretion is the better part of valor" in deciding to not hear Paxton's case and "getting out of the way of his bullet."

The Democrat playbook continued after the election, too, Morris said, including the hastily formed Cabinet in...

Proud Boys, Counter-Protesters Brawl On The Streets Of DC After MAGA March

Members of the Proud Boys and extremist left-wing counter-protesters repeatedly clashed on Saturday in Washington, D.C. after a march in support of President Donald Trump.

D.C. saw hundreds of pro-Trump supporters gather for another “MAGA March” opposing the results of the 2020 election. While most appeared to remain peaceful, the event was ultimately overshadowed by the violence that followed between two opposing sides looking to cause trouble.

Hundreds of Proud Boys, a pro constitution group, began a sunny, warm Saturday afternoon by marching around Washington, D.C. amid the pro-Trump rally, often stopping to re-organize and pump each other up with their well-known “Uhuru” rallying cry.

In the end, the group would partake in a series of vicious brawls across downtown D.C., according to reporters on the ground.


WATCH:

The Proud Boys, who started off mingling with Trump supporters, became more tense as the day ticked by and the sun began to set. They repeatedly shouted chants against far-left collectivist Antifa and began to turn confrontational with anyone they deemed to be on the other side.

Eventually, a large number of the Proud Boys mobilized and marched towards BLM Plaza, aiming to find members of the left-wing group Antifa to fight with. This marked the start of a cat-and-mouse game between the Proud Boys and counter-protesters, who also arrived on the streets of D.C. ready for a fight.

The counter-protesters clad themselves in black bloc and donned fighting gear that typically included helmets, shields and face masks. The Proud Boys, on the other hand, appeared to opt more for batons and their fists. The combination resulted in a bloody night on the streets of D.C., with four reported stabbings, according to The New York Times.

Other injuries occurred amid the fighting, and reporters on the ground saw faces bloodied and people disoriented following scuffles. Both groups taunted each other throughout the evening, amped up for the physical altercations.

At least one of the stabbings appeared to come amid a fight between Proud Boys members and a counter-protester near the popular conservative bar Harry’s, reporters on the ground noted. It is not immediately clear what started the fight, but it ended with arrests and multiple people injured – including at least one police officer who fell down while trying to break up the situation.

WATCH:

As police continuously tried to prevent clashes between the opposing sides, already-high tensions kept rising. Counter-protesters, Proud Boys and Trump supporters alike redirected their anger towards the police, who would stand in a shoulder-to-shoulder human barricade and keep the groups separate.

At times, tensions boiled over. Proud Boys were repeatedly seen berating police officers and even getting physical with them – counter-protesters, meanwhile, were seen doing exactly the same thing. Officers covered in protective gear used batons, bicycles and pepper spray on both sides in an attempt to keep the peace, but this often wasn’t enough to disperse the crowds, even as the air filled with spice from the spray.

The police presence in D.C. seemed to fuel the Proud Boys’ anger towards counter-protesters, and they spent the evening looking for ways around police barricades to no avail. At one point, hundreds of Proud Boys met downtown to regroup, where they burned a “Black Lives Matter” banner that was reportedly stolen from a local church.

Another event on Saturday saw an all-out battle between counter-protesters and the Proud Boys on a street downtown that had not been closed off to vehicular traffic. The two groups brawled out in the open as cars drove past, with each side taunting the other and physical fights breaking out. Police were nowhere to be seen for this incident, eventually arriving several minutes after the fighting began.

WATCH:

As the night continued, the Proud Boys continued to hunt throughout the streets of downtown, marching around in search of Antifa. While some fights continued to break out, the heavy police presence prevented the potential for much more violence and both groups began to...
