I’m pretty sure Ive read that this mayor’s wife claims to have lost track of a huge amount of public funds for a mental health center she was overseeing. Nothing, apparently has been done about it. The local press covers up for her since she’s a black woman.

Communist leaderships always links up with criminal gangs and protection rackets because that is what communism is. We are being ruled by criminals and communists.

When you reward people for being unemployable and poor … you end up with a lot of people who are unemployable and poor ...AND a lot of other people who make careers out of stealing taxpayer revenue to build criminal careers out of the whole process!

“doing anything” would stop the $$.

That is all these bum programs have ever been about. The race hustlers blackmailed the money out of the politicos (for votes and campaign donations) and siphoned off $$ for themselves.

This is what community activism is all about.
