Democrats think New Orleans is safer than New York (wildly incorrect) and more than three-quarters of Republicans think New York is not safe to live despite being safer than Texas.

The city of Chicago alone has spent $662 million on police misconduct lawsuits since 2004:
$213 million to private lawyers since 2004:
One could argue the cost of police misconduct is higher than the riots that sometimes follow.
They burned down their own city and destroyed businesses where their community members are employed. Now what? They burned a $30M low income housing project.
Now the taxpayer is supposed to foot the bill and rebuild what you destroyed?! SICK!

As a newspaper internet sausage maker myself, I’m sympathetic to how pernicious the copy/paste error can be. But this link to source material about how citizens have “fled” Baltimore goes to a 2010 National Review film review of “The Social Network.”

I have thought about Michael a lot over the last few weeks, and often wonder where “we” would be if he had gone on living. His absence over the last few years, especially now, compounds the tragedy of his death.
I miss this guy all the time. He was fearless, he was compassionate, he was patient and he was hilarious. Could have stopped so many angry young men from becoming incels. RIP bro. White boy hall of fame for sure.

That’s not what this means — they’re discussing what to do if Trump evades the then-new ban by using the official White House/POTUS accounts, sted his banned personal. Context is crystal clear.

It would be hard to find a person in America who has had more of an opportunity — in the past and in the future — to speak his mind. One that seems to be fairly narrowly focused at the moment. Your column, your priorities, your choice. But it does not go unnoticed.
