I agree - you could not pay me to visit now. I was thinking of going to the annual March for Life... but not to visit the capital, just for fellowship with fellow Christians and to stand-up for the least of these.

Way to wait until the 3rd from the last paragraph to mention crime.
Then they lie about it “And violent crime, while still too high, is beginning to come down.”
Topping it all off is the atrocious grammar. I’m a machinist with a 2 year education and even I know you don’t start a sentence with “And”.

A 1 MT explosion would help, assuming it’s a Tuesday and Congress is in session. About 10:00 am.

The first step should be to stop implementing policies and electing leaders endorsed by the Washington Post.

“I’m heading to DC tomorrow.”
While one cannot concealed carry in that area, a Bowie knife or a K-bar on ones person may help with any stress one may have whilst walking among the local savages ...

BS:
The District is still stuck in a pandemic funk.
What killed DC was the rioters. Buildings all over downtown were boarded up for over a year. So many of those spaces are now empty. Also, in the stupid attempt to fake a crisis, a huge area around the Capitol was fenced off and parking was not permitted across the entire downtown area. Areas that were not shut down by rioters or the government itself are doing fine.
These people just lie.

Thinking about it more, it was the fake Jan 6 “crisis” as much as the rioters. And both events were manufactured by the local and Federal governments.

People are just afraid to visit. To do so could get you locked up for years without bail and without charges.

There are buildings still boarded up from the riots when Pres. Trump was inaugurated. The WuFlu lockdowns just sped up the decay.
