Memphis

And so on

How the approaching 60 year old War on Poverty?

Great post. And I agree that the people, in general, of Baltimore are great folks.

But crime is awful.

Just a couple of months ago, The new deputy police commission was robbed at gunpoint with his wife

When there have been natural disasters in 3rd world countries the ‘International’ first responders always complain the locals are the least to help clean up.....they will stand in groups watching others do the work.

You are exactly correct. The war on poverty has been great for the DemoKKKrats.

Baltimore is another example of the racist DemoKKKrats ignoring their black voters for their new love, the illegals.

Has the War on Poverty been a failure? Well, of course it has.

That really depends on one's perspective. To the racist DemoKKKrats, it was a great success as it locked in a large voting block of Blacks!

Looks like the two legged rats are panicked and scurrying for cover. Disgusting. I grew up in a shit hole and I know what rats can do to a kid’s sense of safety and security. We didn’t leave until I was 16 and the last kid in the home. Ugh!

” - Every constituent said that murders, shootings, drugs run rampant.
- Many told me they were scared & do not go outside after dark.
- One elderly man, “It did not used to be this way. Now we kill each other. Why? Because no one has a job.””
......................................................

It’s not because there are no jobs.

The root cause is that the people have turned from obeying God to doing that which is right in their own eyes. All the misery and decline stems from there.

Our society does nothing but encourage the same rebellion and folly.

It won’t improve until the people turn from their wickedness.

Heard Amy Stoddard on Brian Kilmeade’s radio show this morning...She says President Trump could help himself by doing something to clean up Baltimore instead of just twittering how bad it is....

Well, Amy....How about Cummings and the local government of Baltimore doing something to help Baltimore THEMSELVES instead of railing against the President telling the truth about their nasty town????

My thoughts also. Why are there bags of trash lying about? Are the people too lazy to carry it to the curb? Does the city not have trash pickup? Is the sanitation department afraid to go into these districts? Some of the problem is their own fault but if the city is not picking up trash, it’s the city’s fault.

“...Because they don’t use their brains....” One has to actually have one in order to use it.

Now that is just needlessly insulting. Every man, woman, dog, cat, mouse, and aardvark has a brain. The difference is in how that brain is trained and used.

I have worked with people of color who know how to use the brains God gave them. I have worked with while people who have completely untrained brains -- even to the point they are not housebroken. Pluggers and slackers both some in assorted colors (white is a color, according to the Pantone book), backgrounds, and financial status.

This leads to a discussion of the education system, which is an equine of a different hue.

According to a news report yesterday, 22% of Baltimore’s population lives below the poverty guidelines. How, then, can the City expect its residents to pay for a professional exterminator, or take the other steps outlined in the Rat Guidelines? The Guidelines are nothing but a CYA Memo by the City that seeks to provide cover for Cummings and other do-nothing political hacks.

They made a film about it called ‘Rat Film’

“DescriptionAcross walls, fences and alleys, rats not only expose our boundaries of separation but make homes in them. Filmmaker Theo Anthony looks at the rat and the people who love them or kill them to explore the history of Baltimore.

All of the rat prevention and eradication takes effort. The laziness mentality is prevelant in many parts of America. The slothful behavior has to be changed first.

Unable, or even unwilling, to police\clean-up their own back-yard (& willingness to put up & LIVE this way) would show the *change* is a long was coming.

Reason I LEFT TV Hill over 20yrs ago (and dread going back for family).

You’ve hit the nail on the head. The root cause of much of human woes is laziness. In this case, the entitlement mentality, fueled by the welfare state has caused this.

Has the War on Poverty been a failure? Well, of course it has. If you devote 50 years and $21.5 trillion (in 4Q2013 dollars) to anything, and people are arguing about whether it was a success or a failure, then you can be sure that it was a failure.

What cheeses me off is that $21.5 trillion is closely equivalent to our national debt right now.

The ostensible wickedness of the poor in those neighborhoods wasn’t responsible for NAFTA and globalism, which killed our American industries and labor jobs that used to be available for relatively uneducated men to be able support their families. My own Irish grandfather was illiterate, yet he raised a family and provided a decent way of life for his wife and four kids, working as a laborer.
