This is what we need. Glad he started the ball rolling.
Besides clean up, what else can we do in large numbers.
I know a lot of folks help as individuals.
Trying to think of something for kids besides backpacks.
FR is the forum of ideas.. let’s roll.
You can’t be responsible for someone else’s irresponsibility. You can only try, fail, and become frustrated.
Ahhh. Refreshing. The American Spirit is still out there in oppressed enclaves and dark corners of our great nation.
Trying to set a good example for others to follow does not work. I’ve tried. It’s just another enabling factor for the lazy. This group should not have cleaned any mess.
The perfect example of an exercise in futility.
While the baltimore cleanup was a nice gesture, six months to a year the trash will be back.
This is what Marvin Olasky was writing about almost 30 years ago, and it hasn’t changed because human nature hasn’t changed.
“Affiliation: Reconnection or involvement of family
Bonding: Personal relationship development with the poor
Categorization: Different individuals require different help
Discernment: The tool for categorization provided through bonding
Employment: Work should be required
Freedom: Liberty to rise or fall
God”
I saw his interview on FNC a couple days ago. My first thought was bless his heart (the Southern meaning). Sure, he’s trying to do the right thing but whatever he picked up today will be trashed out again tomorrow. None of the Baltimores or Chicagos will change until the people get some self responsibility going and clean up their own mess.
Look at Africa. It doesn’t matter how many water wells and latrines someone else digs for them, they still contaminate their drinking water and can’t figure out how to dig their own holes. No matter how many times they’re given free condoms, they still spread AIDS willy nilly. Seeing their friends and family dropping dead from whatever deadly disease they’re getting from eating bush meat and keeping unsanitary living conditions doesn’t faze them enough to change their ways. Africa, Baltimore, Chicago. It’s all the same. Let someone else do for them because they’re too lazy to do for themselves. They’d rather die in their own excrement and let the rats eat their corpses.

He ‘walks the walk.’ He will travel anywhere in the country to teach people how to register to vote, and received good turn outs for this and he will stand on busy street corners with a sign that says:
“3.6 million black kids live in poverty. Why do Democrats choose illegals aliens first?”
*Trying to set a good example for others to follow does not work. I’ve tried. It’s just another enabling factor for the lazy. This group should not have cleaned any mess.*
I guess Trump shouldn’t be cleaning up the messes from previous administrations then, should he? I, for one, am grateful for his leadership. He has inspired me to not give up.
And is proof that demoRATS can’t do an F N thing for Demselves!
What a waste of time and effort. In a month or two the democrat deadbeats who LIVE THERE and created the mess, will turn it into a hell hole all over again.
This us so typical. The DemonRAT controlled areas turn into hell holes as a direct result of their corruption, their policies, and their failed management and then, like fools we come to their rescue, turn around and spend our time, and our treasure into temporarily fixing their mess. Then we leave and voila... in short order, they turn it into a hell hole all over again.
As long as we foolishly continue to come to their rescue they will continue to vote DemonRAT.
The real solution is to STOP ENABLING THEM. Let them lay in the cesspool bed they have made until they wake up and vote the DemonRAT bums out who created the mess in the first place! And if the people who live there don’t care and can’t be bothered, then too bad.
It’s not our problem!
I liked to 20-year old newspaper copy.
Obama thought he was cleaning up Republican messes. Did that make you follow him? I would take issue with any premise that Trump is really cleaning up D.C. anyway. We had a tax cut once.
I think we are fifty years in with that tactic and have no appreciable results to show for it.
Presler is proving that a few motivated citizens are far more effective than government so maybe he can inspire a few locals to pick up a broom and emulate. Democrat carrots and Republican sticks have proven equally ineffective.
The Democrat politicians, criminals, and druggies (but, I repeat myself) will assure the rot continues. That clanking you hear are the chains of the honest locals.
I have been disappointed with the leadership and representation in Congress from both parties for quite some time. I was giving up hope that anything could be done. Trump is showing people that there are solutions if they just get the bureaucracies out of the way. Same as Presler. I work on my own little corner of the world doing what I can to show personal responsibility and respect for myself and others, but I am sure glad that Trump has taken on things at the federal level.
Note that they didn't say "untrue", just "tired" (as in we're tired of hearing that crap!).
