In one of his endless attempts to grab a headline, California Gov. Gavin Newsom last week taunted President Donald Trump, saying that if he’s serious about fighting crime, he should be sending the National Guard to red states such as Louisiana, which has a murder rate far higher than California.
Newsom’s attempt to troll the president failed on Sunday, when Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem took the attention-starved governor up on his offer.
“Absolutely,” she said on “Face the Nation,” when asked if the Trump administration would send National Guard troops into cities or states run by Republicans.

This only half the story. The real crime problem is black democrat mayors. Chicago, New York, LA have had democrat mayors for decades, but they were White and capable and willing to maintain law and order. Most black mayors are grossly incompetent at their job and unwilling to address violent crime because the crime is commited by their own kind.

Without looking, my guess is none.

In Louisiana although the state may be red the problem is again with the usual suspects.

We all know why those cites are such slaughterhouses. Gavin is just following the Dem playbook. Gaslight the public and you will always get a large number of people who believe your BS.

How many people actually saw Kristi Noem's response? Likely not many. Who watches Deface the Nation? Only a bunch of leftists who will say Kristi is lying. Other Enemedia outlets will lie about what she said or not cover it at all.

Sprinkle in some gerrymandering favoring these cities and blessing them with representation (and at the federal level, both representation and electoral college votes) and it becomes much clearer how many blue states are controlled by high population, liberal cities. See CA which is controlled largely by large cities along the coast. IL is controlled by Chicago. NY? NYC. Colorado is a more recent example of switching from red to blue due to large populations in cities.

Most areas of these cities are doing fine. It is typically lower income areas which are infested with crime and those areas are generally occupied by a tribal culture of fear, dependency and a dirth of morality and ethics - a population held hostage.
I don't understand why the populations of the other areas continue to elect democrat minority mayors (unfounded guilt I suppose).
As Einstein said - you can't fix the problem with the mentallity which caused it.

In most cities in the U.S., there is a governing split between "strong mayor" and council-manager forms of government. Only using the political identification of a city's mayor, as an indicator of tolerated violence is specious, as mayors are largely ceremonial in cities with a city manager, hired by the city council. Strong mayor forms of government are typically run by minorities or progressive whites who openly pander to minorities to get elected and/or re-elected. The democrat party is the party of government dependence for its majority-minority population; however, when analyzing statistics, correlation does not automatically equal causation but sometimes it absolutely does. Years ago, in an advanced statics class, I saw a good example in a public administration journal article that correlated the number of fire trucks sent to structural fires with the high degree of resulting property damage. The author concluded, wrongly so, that the more fire trucks dispatched to a fire caused a corresponding increase in property damage; however, the author did not even consider the extent of the fire, the use of accelerants, the availability of water sources, the quality of fire fighting equipment, the training of firefighting personnel, and other logical variations in local conditions that have a significant impact on fire damage. I guess the LA mayor Bass, must have used the article to ingeniously reason that if we send zero fire trucks to fight wild fires driven into high dollar residential areas, then the area would receive either significantly less or no damage. There are many intervening variables, chief among them racial demographics and citizenship status that can account for statistical anomalies when analyzing urban policy outcomes, particularly those related to cause and effect. This is especially true when using crime statistics, including those that have been intentionally altered or suppressed by democrat activists, who manipulate or falsify data to fit their progressive narratives.
