The rats were winning. There were so many earlier this summer outside the CalEPA building in downtown Sacramento officials had to close its outdoor playground out of fear state employees’ kids would catch rodent-borne diseases. To fight back, building officials set out a controversial type of rat poison whose use may soon be banned statewide by the California Legislature. The poison didn’t stay out very long once word got out the state’s top environmental regulators were using a poison widely condemned by California’s powerful environmental groups. “Effective immediately, I’m putting a moratorium on the use of rodenticides around the 1001...

Funny how this slipped our minds in the discussion of the rat problem in Baltimore: "Bush Campaign 'Rats' Subliminal Message" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NPKxhfFQMs Once again life imitates art (even if art this time is a past campaign commercial)!

Can't you see it. Hillary Rides in on a White Horse to Save the DemocRATS and American from Donald Trump. With the DemocRAT Presidential candidates tearing each other and the DemocRAT Party. The leftists are eating each other alive. Hillary, the Voice of Reason, makes a Historic Comeback (as the Lamestream Press will call it) to save the Day. The only question is whether the other DemocRAT candidates will put up with it and whether the DNC will too.

The Trump campaign uncovered video Wednesday of Maryland Democratic Rep. Elijah Cummings calling his district in Baltimore “drug-infested” in 1999. “This morning, I left my community of Baltimore, a drug-infested area, where a lot of the drugs we are talking about today have already taken the lives of so many children,” Cummings said during a 1999 congressional hearing. “The same children that I watched 14 or 15 years ago as they grew up now walking around like zombies.” “This is only 40 miles away from here,” he added.

RUSH: I had a sound bite yesterday and I didn’t get to it and I want to get it done now because it has nothing to do with the debate, but it’s tremendous. Monday night on Fox there was a fill-in host in there, Sandra Smith, and she was talking to a woman named Lynne Patton. Lynne Patton is the regional administrator for HUD, the department of Housing and Urban Development. She is in the Trump administration, and she is African-American, and she is also from the district represented by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The question: “The case is obviously being made...

BALTIMORE (WBFF) - A rat was seen running through a FOX45 reporter’s live shot during a story on President Trump’s tweet Baltimore is rat-infested. Maxine Streicher was in west Baltimore's Sandtown-Winchester neighborhood today to report on conditions. The neighborhood is part of U.S. Rep. Elijah Cummings' Congressional District 7. Trump blasted Cummings' handling of the district this weekend.

In lieu of watching tonight's Regressive Socialist 'RAT debate, what will you be doing? Or if you do watch, do so with the sound off and supply this thread with the imagined debate dialogue (fake, but accurate).

RUSH: See, I think, despite what you see and read every day in the Drive-By Media, I think Trump won big with Mueller and his hearings. I think Trump won that big time, and I think they all know it. And I think Trump has won Baltimore. I think Trump is winning big on Baltimore. It happens every time. He lures them in. I’m gonna get to this in a minute. Trump is one of the most brilliant marketing and branding agents I have ever seen. I’m gonna point it out here in a mere moment. Trump is winning this...

Well, Trump really stirred up a rat's nest this time and was immediately condemned by all the usual suspects as a 'racist.' But all of his comments regarding Baltimore and the corrupt democrats' complete and utter disregard for the poor people forced to live in poverty and squalor are turning out to be TRUTH. Nothing makes the rats and vermin scurry more than when the light of truth shines forth. The corrupt democrats have been playing the minorities and poor for decades. We've spent untold trillions on the so-called 'War on Poverty' over the last 50 years, and for what?...

Here is video of Baltimore’s own Mayor Catherine Pugh last year essentially saying what President Trump said – that Baltimore is overrun with rats! This is Elijah Cummings District. Trump is right. . . . . "Oh, you can smell the rats!" "Oh my God, you can smell the dead animals."

Video at link 1:41 mins. Not worth posting any content. Just watch video Good luck escaping your past Baltimore Sun...

Moronic liberal "friend" from college sent me a Twitter about a Twitter user comparing Baltimore to Rep. Jim Jordan's (R-OH) district. The Twitter (linked) shows photographs of tents and trash in Jordan's district, comprised of Lima, Northwest Columbus and a few other towns. After a quick search of the demographics and the city government in Jordan's district, I found out that 89% of the population is White, while 5.5& is Black. I also found out that Lima and Columbus are Democrat-run cities with Democrat Mayors. I don't have Twitter, so can someone disseminate this information to this Twitter A**hole? Thanks!

Washington (AFP) - US President Donald Trump was hit with new accusations of racism Saturday after he attacked a prominent African-American lawmaker and branded the majority black city of Baltimore an "infested mess." Trump's outburst came in a series of sharply worded tweets aimed at Democratic Representative Elijah Cummings -- a high-profile critic of Trump's administration whose district covers much of Baltimore. "Cumming (sic) District is a disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess," the president wrote, calling it "the worst run and most dangerous anywhere in the United States." "No human being would want to live there," he said --...

A “#WeAreBaltimore” hashtag surged to the top of Twitter’s trending items of Saturday in response to President Trump's comments attacking Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) as a “brutal bully” and his majority-black Baltimore district as a “disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess.” As of Saturday night, the hashtag was used over 17,700 times. The viral item came off the heels of a series of tweets Trump shared on Saturday, in which he railed against the congressman, who also chairs the House Oversight Committee, and his district, which includes downtown Baltimore. “Rep, Elijah Cummings has been a brutal bully, shouting and screaming...

BALTIMORE, MD – Charm City is once again among America's "Rattiest Cities," according to a new report from pest control company Orkin, although it has shown progress in each of the past two years. Baltimore comes in at No. 9 on the company's 2018 rankings released Monday. This is the fourth year that Orkin has compiled the rankings, which are based on the number of rodent treatments the company performed from Sept. 15, 2017 to Sept. 15, 2018. It includes both residential and commercial treatments. Baltimore dropped one slot from last year, when it was ranked eighth; two years ago...

I've only seen this on Facebook as I follow WBAL-TV there. Right now, the poll is at 65% "YES" (Agree with Trump) and 35% "NO" (Don't agree with Trump). Freepers, let's get this "YES" number up to 80%... if you have Facebook, you can sign-in and vote! Trump is, of course, ALWAYS RIGHT!

WASHINGTON — President Trump lashed out at a leading African-American congressman on Saturday, calling him “a brutal bully” who represents a Baltimore-based district that has become a “disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess” where “no human being would want to live.” Mr. Trump’s attack on Representative Elijah E. Cummings, a Democrat from Maryland and leading critic of the president, parroted a segment that aired earlier in the morning on “Fox & Friends.” The president suggested that the congressman was a hypocrite for criticizing conditions in migrant detention centers at the southwestern border when his own district is blighted. Mr. Trump...

California is moving toward an all-out rat poison ban statewide. AB-1788 cleared the State Assembly earlier this summer. But the problem with the ban is that some California cities are being overrun by rats.

Dr. Drew Pinsky, a California-based physician who now hosts a talk radio show, correctly predicted the current typhus outbreak in Los Angeles about 18 months ago. Now he is sounding the alarm about a potential outbreak of the bubonic plague in the Los Angeles area, saying that unless conditions change quickly and drastically, Southern California will be dealing with a horrific epidemic. The last outbreak of the bubonic plague, ironically, was in the 1920’s in Los Angeles. Yersinia pestis, the organism that causes the plague, is endemic to the valleys Southern California and comes down through the foothills on squirrels...

Washington (CNN)A federal judge Friday paused congressional Democrats' subpoenas of Trump Organization financial records, 10 days before the records were due in a lawsuit over whether President Donald Trump is violating the Constitution. The delay is a win for Trump, even if temporary. He's attempting -- and so far has succeeded -- to hold off multiple subpoenas from the Democrats that could divulge secrets about his company and assets. Judge Emmet Sullivan made the decision Friday shortly after the appeals court above him said it wanted to hear the emoluments case. The case had been progressing, with the Democrats sending...
