He rebuilt New York, set his sights on America, and yeah he has the bully pulpit here and it's not racist. It's facts and all politicians should take a hard look at their communities over the August recess. All politicians.

see, I was told that when neighborhoods are revitalized that it's essentially gentrification and hoods should remain hood.

a leftie cousin told me this. so it must be true.
 
Well yeah....I mean wanting nice stuff that isn't dilapidated in your neighborhood is racist. Obviously.

Baltimore's different. Like you I've travelled. I live 40 minutes from Baltimore, can't count the hundreds of times I've been there for work, personal, pleasure or sports. What makes Baltimore weird is the proximity of the violence and the poverty. It's all about "one block." You always seem to be a block or two at most from stepping into areas you don't wanna be.

For instance, countless times I've stayed in hotels there for business and fun. Down by the Inner Harbor. One of my fave spots is a Marriott down there across from Camden Yards. But here's the deal - if you go out the front door and turn right, you're fine, you head down to Pratt and over to the Inner Harbor. If you turn left out of the front door and go one block, you'll regret it.

In most cities there are areas you know to avoid. In Baltimore, it's spread throughout in weird patches THEN there are also the areas you have to avoid. Hell after the Ravens won the Super Bowl, someone was stabbed to death during the parade on Pratt Street in the Inner Harbor. Just two blocks away is the violence.

----------------------------------

Separately, here's something I posted about Baltimore on the Book of Face. Baltimore is a mess:

Elijah Cummings is everything that is wrong with politics. Elijah Cummings is evidence of the need for term limits. Elijah Cummings is modern day evidence that politicians no longer serve their constituents, they serve themselves. Trump's tweets, while brash as usual, are hurtful because they are full of truth.

West Baltimore (heck much of Baltimore) is a disgrace. Baltimore has one of the highest levels of spending, per student, of any district in the nation. The results are abysmal.

Baltimore's crime rate is well above the national average, and Baltimore has led the nation as one of the most violent cities more than once.

"Baltimore is on any given day the homicide capital of the United States in terms of murders per capita. Life expectancy in much of West Baltimore is on a par with that of North Korea. The unemployment rate among young black men is close to 40 percent.

Children as young as 3 are diagnosed with PTSD because of the constant violence that surrounds them. Thousands of homes sit vacant.

Baltimore's schools are an abject failure. Thirty percent of Baltimore's students never graduate high school. Twenty-one percent of Baltimore's students test as proficient in English, less than 20 percent as proficient in math.

All of this despite 50 years of the so-called war on poverty and Democratic rule in the city. All of this despite the fact that Maryland spends more per student on education in Baltimore City than in any other jurisdiction in the state. All of this despite the fact that the Democratic Party has held a virtual monopoly on elected office in Maryland for decades. The General Assembly is overwhelmingly Democratic. Seven of the eight Congressmen from Maryland are Democrats. Both sitting U.S. Senators are Democrats."

Elijah, President Trump is right. You are wrong. You are milking the political system for personal gain while those you represent suffer.

Baltimore’s new deputy police commissioner gets mugged at gunpoint

By Lee Brown

July 22, 2019 | 10:29am

https://nypost.com/2019/07/22/balti...vldyIts5whmQy8O268VroDmXocfrGNEgTZ5lkBFkwRgA0

You’re not in Louisiana anymore.

A new deputy police commissioner in Baltimore got a firsthand lesson in the city’s crime problems — getting robbed at gunpoint while out with his wife, according to reports.

Deputy Commissioner Daniel Murphy had only started with the force in April after being brought in from New Orleans to help lead sweeping reforms, according to the Baltimore Sun.

He was robbed at 9 p.m. Friday by four men in a white SUV near Patterson Park, according to the Sun.

Two of the men, said to be about 18, jumped out and approached Murphy and his wife, showing a gun during the holdup, police said in a release.

They fled with multiple cellphones, the officer’s wallet and his wife’s purse as well as some cash, the reports state. No one was injured, police say.

Murphy was one of the first top deputies hired earlier this year by new Commissioner Michael Harrison after they worked together in New Orleans, according to the Sun.

He was sure that Baltimore would be like the Big Easy, he told the paper after starting his new gig in April.

“Obviously, every community, every police department is unique, but the success we had in New Orleans is directly transferable to here and we will modify it as necessary,” he said.

The robbery came just a month after the department launched a new “crime reduction strategy” that it said would “reduce the victimization and fear of victimization of violent crime in Baltimore City.”

There have been 185 homicides in the city so far this year, with 166 from shootings, according to the Sun, with only St. Louis having more murders per 100,000 people, according to a Pew Research Center study based on 2017 figures.

Yeah, 'gentrification' is raciss. So if I'm following this correctly, squalor is the desired 'norm' and 'gentrification' (read: improve properties; increase value) is raciss. What I'm missing is that transformation from desirable to undesirable in terms of property value and quality of life. Has anybody broken that code?

Perhaps clues can be taken from Paris where they're doing the opposite - turning nice neighborhoods into @#$%holes. Apparently crime and violence and spreading squalor (forgive me for framing this in such raciss terms) frighten hipsters, so they are vacating the city for safer climes. 'Crime' you say? Yeah, 'some' have noted a relationship between the 'shifting demographics' of long established Paris neighborhoods and out of control crime and the general destruction of said neighborhoods. The new neighbors have established 'no go' zones where police and delivery people can't go. Ever. This concept has been well received in Sweden as well where crime is off the charts. The Deblasio 'administration' is beta testing it in NYC to 'mixed reviews'.

I am not arguing the conditions on the ground. They are pretty well documented, even before Trump's tweet. I was relating my experience.

To me, this falls on the state and local officials more than Cummings. I mean what the **** is that city spending it's money on? Obviously nothing beneficial.
 
And an even better question is, when did the truth become racism? The folks that live there should be happy Trump dimed out Cummings. Maybe now something will get done. Maybe.

paraphrasing here, but I was told (by the same Leftie cousin) that gentrification will raise property values and also cause people to not be able to afford their rent. So those people either have to move to other areas or go homeless. And when they move to other areas, the culture that they developed through generations is thus lost forever. That areas should retain their history and culture so that future generations can benefit from them via learning the way they lived and their values.

this same thought is absent when discussing removal of Confederate statues, though.

Never been to Baltimore, but on a recent trip to Detroit was amazed at the devastation. Literally one street separates war like conditions from Grosse Pointe and their manicured lawns.
 
Republicans being grilled for these “Racist” tweets. If I were them I would go through the tweets word by word and ask the interviewer to point out which words are racist.
 
Everything is racist. That tree, racist. That car, racist. Vanilla ice cream, racist as all hell. That dog, racist. Throwing away your trash responsibly, racist. Law and order, racist. Everything and everyone is racist. That, open borders and high taxes are the Dim platform.
 
National pest control company Orkin rated Baltimore as one of the Top Ten “Rattiest Cities” in the country in 2018.
All of Orkin’s Top Ten “Rattiest Cities,” which includes Baltimore as the ninth on the list, are currently run by Democrat mayors and have been dominated by Democrats for decades:

Chicago
Los Angeles
New York
Washington, D.C.
San Francisco
Detroit
Philadelphia
Cleveland
Baltimore
Denver
The last time Chicago elected a Republican mayor was in 1927. San Francisco last elected a Republican mayor in 1959. Detroit last elected a Republican mayor in 1958. Philadelphia last elected a Republican mayor in 1952. Cleveland last elected a Republican mayor in 1985. Denver last elected a Republican mayor in 1959.

Baltimore last elected a Republican mayor in 1963. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s father, Thomas D’Alesandro Jr. , served as Baltimore’s Democrat mayor from 1947 to 1959. Her brother, Thomas D’Alesandro III, served as mayor from 1967 to 1971.

Washington, D.C. has never had an elected Republican mayor.

Both New York City and Los Angeles have been dominated by Democrats for decades, with three notable exceptions. Republican Rudy Giuliani served as mayor of New York City from 1994 to 2001, and Republican Ralph Riordan served as mayor of Los Angeles from 1993 to 2001. Michael Bloomberg was a Democrat who changed his party affiliation to Republican before he was elected mayor of New York City in 2001. He ran an independent when he was re-elected to a third term in 2009, and recently changed his party affiliation back to Democrat.

Recall that the South was once solidly dim until the Republican 'Southern strategery' which effectively turned the South raciss, er, Republican. << Ironic, ain't it. I'm hopeful that this assault on Baltimore follows that history - sort of a 'rat strategery', if you will. All those rat infested @#$%holes that have been laid to waste by dim rule need to go raciss just like the South did. Interesting that Seattle didn't crack the top 10. Maybe rats are askeered of used syringes. But I digress.

I once read that NYC has an 8-1 per capita rat population - meaning that there are upwards of 100 million raven, er, rats in them 5 boroughs. Have you ever noticed that those cities reek of urine? I once worked in DC. I marveled that the parking garages seriously reeked of urine. That is rat urine. Can you imagine how sickly breathing that in must be? Two members of our family just completed a year sentence, er, internship at a hospital in Queens. You guessed it - the entire landscape reeked of rat urine. They lived in a 'decent' building right across the street from their hospital. The building was utterly infested with rats. They had the foresight to bring their 3 cats. No rats in their apartment. The new WTC couldn't be immediately occupied at it's opening due to rats. Remember Letterman's 'rat cam'? The Donald, BTW, hails from NY. Bet he's aware of the scale of the problem.

Anyway, there seems to be a distinct overlay between 'blue' districts and rat concentrations. The 'rat strategery' would be brilliant. Somebody in the Donald's orbit reads this board. Make it happen!
 
Trump is a master at baiting the dems to say outrageous things. He has them actually standing up and shouting that the inner cities are just fine, no problems at all and you're a racist if you even mention it

Meanwhile, nobody believes that, least of all the people who live in the inner cities. But now they see that the dems simply do not care. They don't even think it's a problem.



Baltimore residents reveal how locals really feel about Elijah Cummings with scathing honesty

But what do Baltimore residents have to say? They agree with the president.

"What he said was definitely true. [Cummings] hasn't done anything for us," one Baltimore resident named Michelle told Baltimore County Republican Central Committee member Kimberly Klacik of Trump's tweets.

"As far as the houses and everything, like I said, [Cummings] has never done anything for not even one person that I know of. I never heard anybody say anything about him," Michelle explained. "And people want to talk about Donald Trump ... why is [Cummings] over there taking care of people at the border? We hungry. We need a place to stay."

"We feel like we in a concentration camp — and it's just sad," she went on to say. "[Cummings is] more worried about them than his own people — it's just crazy."

bathhouse barry dumped $1.8 BILLION into that @#$%hole as part of his 'American Recovery and Reinvestment Act' (read: 'stimulus'). Where did that money go? They should maybe start by looking there.

Appoint a special counsel and a team of forensic accountants and follow the money wherever it may lead. Den blow dey ***** up.
