Do you want to see where this country is headed? If so, don't focus on the few areas that are still very prosperous. New York City has Wall Street, Washington D.C. has the federal government and Silicon Valley has Google and Facebook. Those are the exceptions. The reality is that most of the country has been experiencing a slow decline for a very long time and once thriving cities such as Gary, Indiana and Flint, Michigan have become absolute hellholes.
Of course it would be racist to point out what these places have in common.
Very a blog.
The way the US is importing muslims, compare to places like Ramallah, Gaza and Beirut. That’s the direction.
Cleveland (my hometown) really started to auger in when Boy Wonder Kucinich took the city into default in 78.
Geez, I can retire to Detroit and buy a home for only a $100? Such a deal!
My state is doing just fine.
3.4% unemployment rate.
$1 Billion budget surplus.
Oil and natural gas boom.
Largest producer of wheat in the country.
Growing population.
And Custer was alive when he left.
I’ve been to Detroit.Recently.Anyone who’s been there understand that it’s a Rat Party paradise.
The Daily Telegraph is the source for the photography and the story. The pictures are very sad. An outcome of a nation who dumped production and producers of steel, in this case in Gary, Indiana, and turned instead toward being an economy based 80% on consumerism and doing little else.
What. A. Shame.
Worth Reading!
60 years ago, most Americans were decent, hard working people and there were always good jobs available for anyone that was willing to roll up his or her sleeves and put in an honest day of work.

Are you kidding me??
FORTY years ago this was true. Hell, in most parts, it was still true 35 years ago.
Hosea 8:7
For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: the stalk has no bud: it shall yield no meal: if so be it does yield, the aliens shall swallow it up.
I wonder why the scummy blogger didn't just post from that source?
Oh, wait.. blogger wanted some hits.
What. A. Shame.
Just kidding, I was close though, wasn't I?
plus about $100,000 in security fencing, kevlar suits, guns, ammos.
If you are allowed to dig a moat and can get some alligators tough enough to survive the winters, that would be even better!
Agreed, hg. I’m learning. I was one who thought you were an old poop and crochety. I am a very slow learner on some things. <:/ (Note my new pointy hat?)
Never any shortage of time and money to destroy and rebuild Iraqi towns.
That bears repeating. It is the common thread.
Detroit old timers told me the last few white mayors were just as corrupt as the black mayors. Detroit was a state of mind. A very bad state.

There one thing the blackest regions of the United States have in COMMON....
Answer: DYSFUNCTION.... They are dysfunctional on almost every level..
**Note: BECAUSE the black culture itself is dysfunctional.. even toxic.. poisonous.. No worries though.. the black culture is aborting themselves out of existence.. The most dangerous group of Americans to be in is black babies.. Almost 80% of black households is single parent.. with black fathers being very rare.. even in half-black households.. If a black is involved odds are there is extreme dysfunction happening..
I wish this was not so, BUT IT IS SO... it is the TRUTH...
"Do you think these guys know The Commodores?"
R U kiddin why work at all? You dont gotta work thats what Stamps r fer....if God wanted us to work why did he give us STAMPS?....riddle me that one yoker...
An unmarried young girl, with a 2 year old child of course, is suing her Boyfriend's Sister. Now things happen, but here is where my Blood Pressure goes to Defcon Five.
The young girl, who stays at her Boyfriends Mom's house about four days a week, (wonder why), gave his Mom her EBT (Food Stamp Card) to go shopping. The Mother spent the entire $500 Balance on the Card which upset the young girl's Aunt who she lives with since she now has to pay cash for the Household Food.
Oh yeah, both Households are “subsidized”.
I guess I'm just a meanie, but it seems to me somebody should be going to Jail, but no, they are wannabe celebrities on TV.
Thanks to LBJ’s Great Society where the Government replaced the Black Father.
What they have in common is a feral population.
Scary Indiana is the worst place I have ever been in America.
I still have a great love for Cleveland though.
My state is doing just fine.
Growing population.
Your “growing population” is moving in from liberal hell-holes. Their goal is to turn your home into the place they fled.
Black mobs rule each one of them. And when The Usurper loses on Nov 6th, their riots will be by far the most deadly in U.S. history.
“Geez, I can retire to Detroit and buy a home for only a $100? Such a deal!”
The penalty for doing so is having to live there...
People are coming because of the employment.
There are over 16,000 vacant jobs in North Dakota right now.
We have a healthy growing economy and there is demand for jobs, which has caused the surge in population.
[ Thanks to LBJ’s Great Society where the Government replaced the Black Father. ]
Right... the NACCP should selling dart boards with pictures of Lyndon Johnson on them.. and pictires of shooting targets with Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton on them...

FORTY years ago this was true. Hell, in most parts, it was still true 35 years ago.
Nineteen-and-a-half years ago this was still true.
Then, on January 20, 1993, this happened:
My comment wasn’t intended as any kind of insult. I was only warning you. A lot of your new population are going to try to turn your home into a liberal dump.
Is that Joe Biden in the upper right corner?!
No...but the guy above Chelsea’s head was none other than Tom Foley, former Speaker of the House from my home city of Spokane.
Yeah, yeah...he was a Dem, but at least he was a halfway decent guy.
The political leadership is just a reflection of the population that elects them. Judging by Obama, the US is in deep trouble.
good one df....Right out of VACATION....once it got so bad in e. st. louis that the local police force there became so ineffective that they could not prevent random armed robberies of st. louis tourists who got turned around and thought they were going into the eastern part of st louis instead of into the hell hole that is e. st. louis illinois...
Therefore the Illinois state police took over police duties around e. st. louis.....
i worked there from 69 thru 1974....during that time LYNDON JOHNSON’S Model Cities Program pumped one million bucks every year into the place....a lot of money back then....but i remember driving out of that town looking around seeing the exact same scene as the day i drove in...all the money went somewhere but believe me it didn’t end up improving that dump....ONE IOTA....
