'The Homeless have to move out, IMMEDIATELY. We will give you places to stay, but FAR from the Capital,' Trump posted on Truth Social. 'The Criminals, you don't have to move out. We're going to put you in jail where you belong,'

'Be prepared! There will be no "MR. NICE GUY." We want our Capital BACK.'

I voted for this. Make all our cities safe, again or for the first time. This is what "America First" means; clean up our mess.

I had a roommate nearly until I got married. I couldn’t afford an apartment and the bills and still get ahead.

I understand where you are coming from.

Hang in there.

Ruh roh. No mo’ sheetin on the sidewalks where people are eating. No mo’ hunch backing, crack smokin’ statues in raggedy clothes. No mo’. Man, end o’ the world.

Ha. Remember when the test was made for the AI system to locate criminal by an advanced facial recognition system?

Falsely Matched 28 Members of Congress (2 US Senators and 25 Members of the US House) With Mugshots.

The new “Rekognition” system falsely caught the House members in a 25,000 photo database of “publicly available arrest photos” in 2018.

“The test also highlighted that the software disproportionately misidentified people of color, with six members of the Congressional Black Caucus being falsely matched.”

Nod to great humorist Lewis Grizzard (his book said “Georgia.”)

Thank you for the words of encouragement, I half expect some rather nasty responses from today’s FR about my soft spot for a counter-point on the topic.

I love RV life. Shoulda done it before.

Send the homeless to Martha’s Vineyard. Let the libtards take care of them.

Homelessness in the U.S. has NOTHING to do with high rents.

This is the Left’s FAVORITE explanation for homelessness...”we must lower the rents...we need rent control.”

What a crock!

Homelessness is caused by drug abuse and/or alcohol.

So raising the minimum wage did not help?

So raising the minimum wage did not help?

If you like hyperinflation it did.

Having National Guard in DC will be handy when the serious indictments are made...

I was glad that he is finding place for them to stay. I know he wants to get many help with mental issues and addiction. He’s a good man. What is sad is leaving them alone in a life of despair.

[nikos1121]

He’s going to move them to a better location. Take care of them . Probably many are mentally ill.

The worst part of DC is the Naval Yards. Every night a thousand local hoodlums take over the park. It would take 200 national guard for just one park.

This is a big moment in time because the hoodlums will shoot at the Guard. And the Guard will have to shoot back. It will be bigger than Kent State.

Rent is crazy high and I see no end to it. I’m glad you’re liking your new living arrangement.

I hate to say this as a Maryland resident, but DC should be returned to Maryland. The Official Washington area can be retained as Washington DC. There will be very limited residency in the new district. (POTUS, VPOTUS and hotels) Everyone else is now a Maryland Resident.

A testimony to effects of liberal ideology:

According to the Centers for Disease Control’s (CDC’s) annual Sexually Transmitted Disease Surveillance Report, cases of several common sexually transmitted infections (STIs) have reached historic highs among elderly populations in the U.S. including chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis.,... According to the study, Washington D.C., New York, and Maryland saw the highest instance of STIs among populations 55 and older with an average STI rate per 100,000 at 881.8, 236.2, and 172.7 respectively. While Montana, Wyoming, and North Dakota had the lowest instance of STIs among people aged 55 and older at 20, 17.8, and 14.9 per 100,000 respectively, they actually saw the highest percentage increases in STI contraction between 2008 and 2017 with Montana having a 275.1% increase (the highest among any state), Wyoming have a 239.7% increase (the second highest), and North Dakota having a 224.6% increase (5th highest). - https://www.forbes.com/sites/claryestes/2020/02/26/historic-high-rates-of-stis-among-older-americans/

Clearly the fruit of Satan’s agenda - that is to kill, steal, and destroy.

Great news, thank you Mr President. Going to wifes hometown in Maryland just a few minutes from the Chesapeake Bay in a couple of weeks (crab 8 days in a row). Then a visit to Mt Vernon and a night in DC.
