Fix em' all Donald Trump!

"Having "no-go" zones, or sketchy neighborhoods to stay away from is a cancer on our country. It really is. What would a President Harris have done to fix this mess? Same as Biden - nada. But Trump is Trump, and he will certainly give it his all. As the song goes in South Pacific, "It has to get better, because it can't get worse." Full stop - end on story." 

Sometimes I can be a bit utopian. Years ago, when my youngest daughter worked for an organization to help get the homeless off the streets (it was a smidge safer back then to be in Minneapolis after dark) I still worried about her safety. My utopian thinking was simply this - we are not truly safe and free living in our big cities, until we can walk down any street, at any time of the day or night, and know you will not be robbed or hurt. So far, that is not the way it is in any of our big, blue cities. Heck, not even our big, red cities.

This morning on the news, a bunch of paid protesters were singing, "DC is our home, you can't have it Trump". Second verse, same as the first. Over and over and over again. They local mutts don't like the fact that President Trump had to federalize the police force and send in some National Guard troops. Why? Washington has still not fixed their police force since the "defund movement". Thus, to fix the city, Dr. Trump came in to mop up the mess.

But Donald Trump may reside in Washington right now, but he is president of ALL these United States. And the number of our big, blue cities which need an enema are legion. Trump has his eyes set on Chicago, Atlanta, LA, NYC and so forth. He can't federalize those cities like he did in Washington, but he can call in the National Guard. And he will do that, at the drop of a hat.

My take for what it is worth. We are light years away from my utopian vision of totally safe streets, at any time, for any reason. The road to reach that goal may never be finished, but we can at least start it. What are you saying Bird? Fix em' all Donald Trump! Each city, every city needs a colonoscopy of sorts. If it means bringing in the National Guard, so be it. We can't let our country turn into Mexico, and we are on the path to doing just that.

Having "no-go" zones, or sketchy neighborhoods to stay away from is a cancer on our country. It really is. What would a President Harris have done to fix this mess? Same as Biden - nada. But Trump is Trump, and he will certainly give it his all. As the song goes in South Pacific, "It has to get better, because it can't get worse." Full stop - end on story.
