The personal crime rate throughout America has hit a 16-year high, with nearly 30 percent of all households report being "victimized," according to a new survey

"Americans' direct experience with crime is at a 16-year high, consistent with a gradual increase — from 22 percent in 2001 to 29 percent today — in the percentage saying that they or a household member was the victim of a robbery, vandalism or violent crime in the past year," Gallup reports.

What's more, some 16 percent that they personally have been the victim of crime, most often theft.

His legacy is going to be of one of the worst presidents in U.S History.

A legacy of division which has gotten blue lives murdered.
A legacy of giving money and weapons to our enemies and letting Muslims infiltrate the White House.
A legacy of no economic growth and endless regulations killing businesses.
etc.

Had Hillary won, she would battle it out with Barack Hussein for which one would be the worst occupant of our White House in history. With Trump repealing most or all of Barack Hussein’s legacy, James Buchanan may retain last place, with Hussein only second to last. We have for now probably dodged a second civil war. If Trump is effective, that disaster may be delayed for a generation or more.

Very applicable to my own family. In the last 4 years, one daughter lost a well paying job - is competing with hundreds of other unemployed. Still looking as she works for min wage to pay bills.

My home was vandalized & burglarized while I was out of town. Druggies suspected. No arrests.

Young relative killed by hit & run driver - no arrests.

Never had so much misfortune in decades.

Jimmy Carter makes the bottom five, but he’s outclassed by the competition and the opportunities they had. Carter never had a civil war to mishandle, so Buchanan has him beat. As inept as Jimmy was, and as much as he hates Jews, he just wasn’t malignant enough to compete with Hussein’s hatred for everything good on earth. And Carter wouldn’t stand a chance against Hillary with her unlimited lust for power. President Carter certainly gets a participation trophy, but he’s out of his league when it comes to total devastation.

My premium for health care was high enough at $300/mo. All that for a 15 minute appointment once a year. Now it’s up to $471. Just lucky I guess.

“We have for now probably dodged a second civil war.”.....

I suggest we do not become too hasty in that assumption.

Soros has hired so-called spontaneous protestors with the hopes of starting a civil war. As the riots escalate, assuming his funded phony protests are not squelched by solid thinking Americans, he may get his civil war but he should be forewarned, HE will be a major target with a high possibility of a fatal casualty in the aftermath.

No surprise.

When you open your administration by dissing the police for ‘acting stupidly’ and continue that for 8 years, you cannot expect police to be fully diligent in doing their jobs. Then several years later, you side with thug groups like BLM who burn down whole sections of cities... Or prosecutors and DOJ who go after cops ...

Exactly correct, which is something future historians will have to write about because the left will never (publicly) admit how close we came.

But now comes the dangerous period until January 20th when Trump is sworn in. Two key dates to watch: December 19th when the Electoral College votes, and January 6th when the new Congress formally ratifies the electoral tally. Expect increasingly desperate measures by those who are losing power as we get closer to the Trump inauguration.

I am painfully aware of that possibility, and I hope we will stay vigilant enough to avoid that outcome.
