Top 10 Shi*holes Nobody Wants to Visit
PJ Media ^ | 12 Jan 2018 | Megan Fox

Unnamed sources are once again claiming president Trump said outrageous things, including calling Haiti and parts of Africa "shi*holes." No one is sure this actually happened, but it sounds true, so the Washington Post ran with it. But it brings up an interesting point. Are we allowed to point out that there are places in the world that are not ideal, or are we pretending all countries are equal? This seems demonstrably ridiculous, yet the left is acting super-offended at the suggestion that some countries are shi*hole-ish.

...

This doesn't explain why the elite don't vacation in Haiti and Cape Town.

The following is my list of shi*holes I never want to visit, in no particular order.

1. Haiti A quick search of Haitian vacations found that a person could have a full week in Haiti for $600, airfare included. If that isn't a screaming red flag, I don't know what is. The reason it's so cheap is that you have a high likelihood of never returning. If you don't get murdered, you will probably get a disease.

East St. Louis IS in Illinois. So you got the taxes AND the sketchy neighborhood. Good job!

He went out? On the street? Never, never, never go out on the street. He may have been near the embassy and that is the “good” part of town near where I lived for two years.

After a gun battle between bank robbers in a boat on Five Cowrie Creek and the MOPOL going along the creek down Lekki “Expressway” [only very early on Sunday mornings could it be called Expressway] I arranged the file cabinets in my office like a wall. We had bullet holes in the balcony tiles and the stucco walls but no broken glass.

That was all ten years ago or more. It may have gotten better. Nah.

First of all, those are old photos, and it looks like some kind of disaster has taken place in at least one of them, a fire or something. Secondly, Newark is a big spread-out city with lots of different neighborhoods.

The planes also flew over Forest Hill. I guess you didn’t look out the window when they did that. Constant airplanes overhead, to the point where I can’t hear a prop plane on the Hudson today without getting nostalgic for a sunny day in Newark, sort of like Proust’s madeleine. It meant we would probably be going to the park, or play in someone’s backyard.

The situation I described was in the 70’s as told to me by a very black colleague, God knows what it is like now.

When in the Air force, we had Nigerian military officers as exchange students in the training facility I was in. They had excessively long belts on their uniform pants. I came to find out that they were used as garottes. I thought that was kind of cool but personally wouldn’t have needed them that long to do the job.

Detroit was once called "Paris of the West" with its buildings and parks and wide avenues and museums.

And then the democraps took over and the riots took place, and the whites began moving out and the dems squandered their newly acquired power and promptly gave their friends no-work jobs which pulled money away from infrastructure needs.

And it didn't help that the 20 year mayor, Coleman Young got a ruling passed that no white business owner could expand his business and no white businesses could be opened within the city limits of Detroit.

Now once beautiful Detroit has made the list.

Thank you Coleman Young and all your stupid demoncrap buds.

Not kidding. When the white business owners left for the suburbs, their workers moved too. And, how many customers moved too? Coleman Young destabilized the city and created holes in the city. I don’t know if that ruling is still in place.

Yes, it will fill its holes when they all realize what happened and then make the appropriate changes.

Do you know who Alexis DeTocqueville is?

Someone wrote a book called "DeTocquville in America" where the author went through Alexis' diary of his trip. DeTocqueville wanted to go to what he described as "The Wilderness."

He traveled with a buddy by boat and they landed at Fort Detroit. They hired a couple of Indians and rented a couple of horses. Their goal was to travel up the Indian trail that would lead them to Saginaw Bay. It would take them one week up and one week back.

The first night they stopped on the shore of a lake. He and his friend learned how to sleep within the evening fog of mosquitoes by wrapping themselves like the Indians did where the last part of the blanket would cover their heads encasing their entire body.

When he woke up in the morning he walked to the tree line of the lake and he watched deer and other animals drinking from the water. He said that it struck him all of a sudden that he was looking at a wilderness that would one day be civilized and many people moving in and taming it.

They traveled up what in Michigan is called the Dixie highway which crosses the Flint and Cass rivers before making its way to Saginaw Bay.

I retraced his trip beginning at Fort Detroit and stood on the bank of Loon Lake, and I crossed the Flint and Cass rivers.

It was a good trip.
