ST. LOUIS – Democratic California Governor Gavin Newsom’s press office drew attention to St. Louis over the weekend in a series of social media posts comparing murder rates in California cities to cities in states led by Republican governors. One post specifically compared St. Louis to Oakland, California, stating “St. Louis’ murder rate is a staggering 190% higher than Oakland’s. Do you think Fox [News] will cover that?” The post included a graphic with FBI-cited homicide rates per 100,000 residents, alongside an image of the Oakland Fox Theater and Republican Missouri U.S. Sen. Josh Hawley. According to Nexstar San Francisco

Comments:

Could this guy be a bigger clown? St Louis has been controlled by soft-on-crime Democrats for decades. It was also the site of Pruitt Igoe Public Housing projects that were a colossal failure of liberal government ideas.

''Our murders are perfectly good, St. Louis murders are bad.'' I think Trump has melted his grease covered brain.

Blue state governor highlights failure of blue city government. Where states are red the disaster zones are invariably the blue enclaves.

An how does this mean ANYTHING about how rotten Oakland is? "Nana-nana-nana---St Louis is worse"? What is the heck is this? These are Demonrat cities - all out of control. Big Dem cities always are badly run, badly policed and too many have Soros prosecutors who will not prosecute criminals, turning them back out to kill and rob again. That same pattern is repeated across the country. ALL on the Dems and their soft on crime policies.

Oakland and St Louis have similar Democrat leadership, and similar demographic denizens, the perps and victims are nearly all the same races, and with the same voting habits. Not a red hatted conservative perp to be found.

Newsom is a talker, not a doer. People, and businesses, are leaving California in droves, he oversees a train boondoggle, crime, drugs, homelessness continue with out any effort to eliminate, Palisades residents can't get permits to rebuild. And they continue to deliberately attract and protect illegal aliens. So, they run off taxpaying people and business, while attracting people that have to take care of. He has no solutions. And he wants to be president!

Mayor Cara Spencer of St. Louis is a Democrat. St. Louis has 14 Aldermen (city council). All Democrat. It hasn't had a Democrat elected since 2011. Of course, it's a dump. He also compared Dallas (Democrat) and Memphis (Democrat). Now compare Democrat-run locales with Republican-run locales. You will find the crime rate in Republican-run locales is a fraction of the Democrat areas. In fact, Republican-run areas of the USA are as safe as places like Japan or Sweden.

Democrat governors trying to excuse the failed policies and deflect criticism of Democrat-run cities by trying to make it seem like the Republican governors have any real input into those Democrat-run cities' failed policies. The RNC needs to really plaster billboards and other types of messaging asking if people have had enough of the liberal and progressive policies in their city.

I am a Californian and I was fully behind the recall on this slickster con man. I am enjoying the way he is be-clowning himself almost daily right now. I do not know anyone who is a fan of his. Even the liberals are not "enthusiastic" about him that live here.

#11 I moved to St. Louis in 1962. Mayors were Raymond Tucker and Alfonse Cervantes. I think they were both democats. But the city was very livable. I worked in the downtown area for 18 years and had no fear walking to and from the parking garage from my office building.

Florida’s immigration jail known as “Alligator Alcatraz” will probably be empty of detainees within days, a state official has said, indicating compliance with a judge’s order last week that the facility must close. The Republican governor Ron DeSantis’s administration appealed the order by federal court judge Kathleen Williams that the tented detention camp in the Florida Everglades, which attracted criticism for its harsh conditions, must be dismantled within 60 days. But in an email reported Wednesday by the Associated Press, Kevin Guthrie, executive director of the Florida department of emergency management, which operates the jail on behalf of the federal government, appeared to confirm it would be shuttered.

Britain's Royal Air Force scrambled spy planes as it joined NATO in a huge hunt for a Russian submarine suspected of threatening a US aircraft carrier off Norway. In what defence sources are calling a 'highly unusual surge' of activity, NATO allies have deployed at least 27 specialist submarine-hunting sorties since Sunday in an urgent bid to track the vessel. The operation, which insiders insist is not a drill, comes as the USS Gerald R. Ford - the most advanced and expensive aircraft carrier in the world, worth around £11 billion, carries out exercises with the Norwegian Navy in Arctic waters.

One reason that many Republican voters took a shine to Donald Trump in 2016 was the way he showed no respect to the national chattering classes of the Democrat-media complex. George W. Bush was a kinder, gentler Republican -- and they compared him to Hitler. No matter which flavor of Republican was elected, the "objective" media savaged him. We've reached the 20th anniversary of deadly Hurricane Katrina in the Gulf of Mexico, which killed an estimated 1,836 Americans. But misinformation landed first. NBC and MSNBC tremendously hyped Democrat Mayor Ray Nagin's "Today" show estimate of 10,000 dead in New Orleans.

The biggest, boldest lie of every welfare state is that the goods and services it is providing to its citizens are "free." Those of us with brain cells and an aversion to lying know that this is not only untrue, but also impossible. Politicians are fond of throwing taxpayer dollars around like drunk Kennedy cousins on summer break in Monte Carlo in order to make voters love them. Despite being full-throated advocates for "sustainability" when it comes to almost anything else, socialist welfare state types are committed to an economic system that simply cannot go on forever.
