President Trump has threatened to send National Guard troops into more American cities after deploying soldiers in Washington, D.C., and Los Angeles this year He’s highlighted Baltimore and Chicago as cities in particular need of help fighting crime, though Monday he appeared to back off his threat to unilaterally deploy the National Guard into cities uninvited. Baltimore has the third-highest rate of violent crime, while Chicago ranks 29th among cities with at least 500,000 residents, according to the latest FBI data. Trump’s focus on cities in blue states — those led by Democratic governors — with Black mayors has drawn criticism from Democrats,

Every one of these cities has a democrat mayor, one is unaffiliated. This article is deceiving because the author tries to paint red states as "have problems too."

People who don't work and don't have vehicles are drawn to a large city with public transportation and a system of welfare accommodation. So big cities will always vote for generous democrats that will be soft on their crime.

Baltimore has a black Mayor and of course black crime, but even worse Maryland has a black Governor and a Democrat majority legislature.

You'd think an article about high crime cities by The Hill would mention who the mayors were of each one of those cities (all of which except one Independent are dems). But they've got an agenda to push. By the way, cities they skipped naming the mayors like Kansas City, MO and Milwaukee and others have dem mayors. Where they could (like Kansas City) they made darn sure to mention the Republican governor.

Cities that didn't make the Top Ten probably lied about their crime statistics like the District did. Any place where they let woke and teen leniency take over is high crime.

So what do all those high crime cities have in common besides being run by Democrats? Could it be that the identified perpetrators of serious violent crimes committed in those cities are members of minority groups, one in particular, guess which one?

What’s interesting is who’s not on the list, specifically New Orleans. Landry our Republican governor came in and basically took over New Orleans government. He formed a new state police troop, troop NOLA and these guys don’t play and the locals know it. He put the state attorney general in the DA’s office and in the criminal courts to look over their shoulders. He provided the necessary social services and cleaned up he homeless encampments. What’s especially interesting in Orleans Parish proper he garnered 15% of the black vote which is a phenomenal number. In short he made the city a much more enjoyable place to live in a space of less then a year.

Gavin Newsom thought he was "owning the Republicans" yesterday by spotlighting "red state" crime in St. Louis. St. Louis has a Democrat mayor like all of the other high-crime cities.

A friend was a Memphis cop, about 35 years ago and he warned that "Memphis is just a mean town"., even back then. It hasn't gotten any nicer, clearly. And KC, MO is definitely a mean town. We live on the outskirts in Kansas suburbs, but fortunately can be armed and are. We very much avoid going down into the main part of KC, MO as much as possible, meaning we almost never go there, other than drive thru on the interstate. And what do these hellholes have in common? Idiot Dem mayors and Dem city councils.

Just an FYI, all mayors and city councils in Texas are nonpartisan. It is true that the current Houston mayor, John Whitmire, served in the Texas Senate as a Democrat for many years.

DC is not a state, so the DC Guard can be activated there pretty easily. Each state has its own governor who has to invite Federally activated Title 10 Guard personnel. Would be nice if there was a governor who requested the assistance.

50% of the crimes are never reported --- because the police have never done anything about any of them. I hope Trump sends the national guard to Houston. As for Texas city leaders being nonpartisan, that is a ruse, like all Democrat hoaxes, hah-hah, every single one is a Democrat. More disgusting lies from the Democrats, and more feckless Rino's in Texas. Then, Texas has a House of Representatives where the Republicans are so nice that that they allow the Democrats to be co-chairs of the committees, even though there is a Republican majority. And Texas Republicans are so nonpartisan that they allow the Democrats to vote in their primaries, being an open primary state. The whole election thing is another hoax, as the people decide nothing.

The black mayors in dem cities are head overseers of the destruction of black people. Ditto for their city reps. This type used to be slaves not compensated with cash, but the modern day types are well paid. They're self-loathing, greedy, rotten, evil traitors just the same.

MAGA movement eyes expansion into governor mansions 1 reply
Posted by Mercedes44 8/28/2025 4:12:55 AM Post Reply
The MAGA movement has its sights set on expanding into governors’ mansions around the country. A handful of prominent allies of President Trump are pursuing gubernatorial bids, viewing it as a way to expand the MAGA agenda beyond Washington and set themselves up for potential future bids for higher office. That means looking beyond 2028, when Vice President Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are viewed as the heavy favorites to lead the GOP presidential ticket. That’s left some on the up-and-coming GOP bench going local. Rep. Byron Donalds (Fla.) is running for governor in Florida, Sen. Marsha Blackburn (Tenn.) is running in Tennessee, Vivek Ramaswamy is campaigning in Ohio,

After more than six months in office and two weeks after ordering the National Guard into Washington D.C. to aid local police in fighting the Democrat-run city’s epidemic of violent crime, Trump’s job approval rating jumped five points, from 40 percent in July to 45 percent today. In this particular poll, that 45 percent is a record high, reaching back to when the AP first started tracking the president’s job approval in 2016. The poll also shows that a vast majority of the public agrees with Trump on a number of issues Democrats oppose him on.

A Democratic candidate has defeated an extremist Republican in a state senate election in Iowa, claiming that voters are “waking up” to realise Donald Trump’s party “sold the working class a bill of goods”. Catelin Drey flipped Iowa state senate district 1, beating Christopher Prosch in a special election held on Tuesday to fill the seat of the late senator Rocky De Witt. Prosch had aligned himself with Trump’s Maga movement, floating conspiracy theories about the 2020 presidential election and climate crisis. He also compared abortion access to the Holocaust.

As RedState previously reported, California Democrats are steamrolling ahead on plans to enact new redistricting maps, starting with passing a package of bills pushed for and signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) this month on grounds that they were doing it For the People™. The bills greenlight a November special election, where voters will decide on whether to "temporarily" suspend the voter-approved independent redistricting commission process and allow the state to enact maps drawn by Democrat "leaders" in the state legislature, including two who reportedly are considering running in those districts, to counter mid-decade redistricting moves made by the Texas state legislature.

White House Correspondent Iris Tao publicly thanked President Donald Trump after revealing she had been robbed and pistol-whipped outside her apartment in Washington, D.C. “Mr. President, thank you so much for what you’re doing right now,” Tao said. “Thank you for now making D.C. safer for us, our families, and my baby on the way.” Her comments come as Trump’s federal crime crackdown continues to show results. As of this month, violent crime in the nation's capital has dropped significantly following Trump’s deployment of federal resources and direct coordination with law enforcement. Repeat offenders are being prosecuted, gang activity is being dismantled, and high-crime areas are seeing a return to order.

President Donald Trump said Tuesday that his administration will seek the death penalty as punishment for murders committed in the nation’s capital. Trump revealed the plans to pursue the death penalty in D.C. homicide cases during the White House Cabinet Meeting on Tuesday. If somebody kills somebody in the capital, Washington, DC, we’re going to be seeking the death penalty. And that’s a very strong preventative, and everybody that’s heard it agrees with it,” he said. “I don’t know if we’re ready for it in this country, but we… have no choice.” Trump added that states will have to make their own decisions on the matter.

The deranged gunman who slaughtered two children and injured at least 17 others who were attending morning mass at a Catholic school in Minneapolis has been identified — as a disturbing video believed to have been posted by the shooter shows “kill Donald Trump” and “for the children” scrawled on gun magazines. Robin Westman, who is in his early 20s, opened fire through the stained glass windows of Annunciation Catholic Church during a celebratory back-to-school Mass filled with children, around 8:30 a.m. Wednesday.

We think we've seen it before in the election losses, the USAID money laundering scandal, the cheating vote counters, the Beria school of malpractice at the Justice Department, and cheering for criminals. However, this moment, this snapshot, says it all.Like a controlled demolition of an old relic of a building, the scene in a Mexican restaurant captured on video showed a piece-by-piece, trope-by-trope implosion of the leftist superstructure built on the foundation of bigotry, lunacy, and hearsay.

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.

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.
