Thousand of homeless and criminals across the Country are making travel plans.

They should probably first check to see what the winters are like. But I hope they don't.

Columbia, SC as well. The city itself anyway.

Mask loving dictators there.

A bunch of karens are pushing for mandatory masks outside the city like where I live in Forest Acres.

What I am scared of is my wife believes the new religion of the hoax. Would she sell me out to teach me to wear one? I hope no.

Thank you. It could not have gone down better than it did, though. And we are a Christian family. We don’t see him as gone, but waiting for us. :)

'I hope that the Charter Commission will recognize the moment that we are in and take our offer of support, however we can provide it, to expedite this process so that voters have a chance to have their voices heard on this important question and this important moment in our city´s history,' Council President Lisa Bender said.

The emergence of political/cultural insanity in a locale is a clear and ominous warning to those with the moral strength and intelligence to get out before the lowest common denominator triumphs. To remain in those cesspools amounts to economic and possibly even physical suicide. Majorities in Detroit, Chicago, Cleveland etc. have been sending this message for decades.

The Balkanization of America into leftist lunatic and conservative enclaves, even on a local basis, will continue to be and should be the result. As difficult as it is in many cases, voting with one’s feet is at times the only way to achieve security and peace of mind.

LOL, it’s easier to herd cats than to get a roomful of conservatives to agree on anything.

I hope you don't mind me stealing that for future discussions with family and friends. That pretty much nails it.

What we’re going to need is something like The Solidarity Movement in Poland.

It’s a wide range of political beliefs, but all focused on ending the Leftist hegemony over our culture.

“The mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Frey, does not support the proposal and has power to veto it.”

So the council’s vote is all political theater anyway.

I thought that if city’s PD was abolished the burden for enforcing the law would fall to the county.

This is theater.

They are winning brownie points with the black community. The council knows the mayor will veto it AND even IF it gets to the voters, it will likely not pass.

This vote will be remembered, but 4 months from now, if it gets on the ballet, it will lose and no one will blame the city council for “trying”.

It is a politically “safe” vote for the council.

Will voters have learned from the woke neighborhood’s hundreds-strong drugging and whoring bum encampment?

Seems unlikely.

Back in the day my brother had a property in the Little Five Points are and was part of the Inman Parks something or other organization. They were basically regentrifying the are, big Victorian buildings that needed refurb. My brother knew Bill Campbell and they would do things together like moving furniture. When Campbell was elected mayor of Altana, my brother who was an independent civil engineering contractor, said to his “pal” Bill maybe I can get a contract with the city. Bill looked at him and said” Tim, You’re the wrong color.”
