  1. Here’s the deal.... people always want to find “reasons” or “causes” at which to point blame. More crime does happen in more densely populated areas of the US. There are plenty of densely populated areas around the globe without the crime problems. There are high crime rates where ever lots of people commit lots of crimes. There are TONS of crimes committed inside of our prisons where there is no wealth or poverty. Maybe it’s just because that’s where the criminals hang out? Its a vicious circle of blame. I’m a little overweight. I can blame Coke for using so much sugar. I can blame restaurants for the large portion sizes and lack of healthy choices. I can blame the food industry for pricing healthy foods higher than junk food. I can point at racism as an underlying cause if I’m black. I can blame the healthcare system for not doing more to address wellness and prevention. But at the end of the day, we all know that I need to eat less and move around more. At the end of the day, my condition is a product of my choices. We’d all be a lot better off if we’d accept that.

  3. These people are never happy. You can give and give and give, won’t matter, it’s never enough. America is the greatest country on the planet with opportunities that only exist here...still not happy. That’s why liberalism is a mental disorder.

  4. Kinda reminds me of a old joke about Mr Jones running a stop sign. Mr Jones was pulled over by a police officer one day. Police officer approached the car an asked Mr Jones “Do you know why I pulled you over?” Mr Jones said “No”. Police officer said “you ran that last stop sign”. Mr Jones said “no I didn’t, I slowed down I didn’t just run it!” Police Officer said “step out of the car please “. Mr Jones got out of the car an the Police Officer started beating Mr Jones over the head with his stick then he asked Mr Jones “Do you want me to slow down or stop?” Then the Officer said see the difference between slowing down and stopping? We can slow down the Chaos or we can Stop the Chaos depends on the leadership of the city. By the way Mr Jones was White. 😁

  5. I think this is where somebody I know says " I am not impressed by someone throwing out a few figures", I have my own opinion. But I will maintain that how a municipality deals with/handles crimes has a direct impact on the volume of said crimes. As I asked before, and you so conveniently deflected from, what parties are responsible for the operation of Minneapolis, Seattle, and Portland?

  6. I’ve said plenty times there are several factors that go into crime rates. Population being the main one. Politics having nothing to do with it. Anniston Alabama has a population of 21000 and steadily declining. They also have a low population density at 494/sq mile. But there are other factors. The main one in my opinion is that they have a metro population of over 100000. Another being they have a high poverty rate of 30%. They also have a low marriage rate of 35%. All these things weighed in they normally have anywhere from 4 to 14 murders each year regardless of who’s in office. Nederland Texas population is a little smaller at 17600. But they are also 6 times as dense at 3000/sq mile. Nederland doesn’t have much of a metro population. Nederland has really low poverty rate of 7% and a very solid marriage rate of 50%. Nederland may have 1 or 2 murders every 5 years Orange Texas has a population of 18200 with a density of around 820/sq mile. Orange doesn’t have much metro pop. Orange has a 22% poverty rate. Orange has a 42% marriage rate. Orange has 1-4 murders each year. Vidor Texas has a population of 10500 and 870/sq mile. Vidor doesn’t have metro population. Vidor has a 21% poverty rate but Vidor has a good marriage rate at 53%. Vidor has 1 or 2 murders per year. Beaumont Texas pop is over 100000 with a 1500/sq mile density. BMT metro pop is over 400000. Poverty rate is 19% and I can’t remember what the marriage rate is. Beaumont has 10-18 murders each year. Port Authur Texas population is around 50000. PAT has a density of 800/sq mile. The metro pop is over 400000. Poverty rate is at 30% and the marriage rate is at 41%. PAT has 4-16 murders each year. Woodville Texas has a population of 2500 with a density of 770/sq mile. Woodville has no metro population and poverty rate of around 22%. Marriage rate at 38%. Woodville has maybe one murder every 5 years. Chicago has a population of 2600000 with a super high density of 12000/sq mile. Chicago’s metro pop is around 10000000. Chicago has a 20% poverty rate and 35% marriage rate. Chicago has 500-700 murders each year. New York City’s population is 8.25 M with a density of 27k/mile. Metro pop is around 19 M. NYC’s poverty rate is 17%. The marriage rate is 40%. NYC was once doing 1000-2000 murders each year during the 80s. While the conservative savior was in office in the late 90s the rate declined as it did in the rest of the country. When he left in 2001 it was at around 600 murders per year. Since he’s been gone it has remained at 270-500 murders per year although there has been some crazy lefty screwing things up lol. So now that you have some real factors to look at other than political parties what do you think the main factors are for crime rates?

  7. [Hidden Content] She did what they asked, instead of calling the cops she went and asked for him to stop. Because we don't need police to enforce laws, no no no, we just need the community to talk to each other.

  8. [Hidden Content] This fool thinks the feds are impeding the rights of these “peaceful” protesters that have caused an estimated $23 million in damage to date. Portland needs new leadership ASAP. Democrats are destroying cities with their nonsense.

  10. I’ve lost 15 pounds since the virus hit in March. I walk a 1/4 of a mile then jog a 1/4 and repeat for 3.5 miles. I do this 4 or 5 days a week. It takes about 45 minutes for me to finish. I feel a lot better and I don’t look like a piece of boudain in my shirts anymore.

  11. The citizens of Portland have rights, too, and theirs are equally important as the protestors. When local government refuses to administer the law and citizens are suffering, it’s right for the federal government to move in and protect the citizens that local government will not. The local government in Portland is a joke and anybody that’s been paying attention for the last few years is well aware of that fact. The feds don’t want to be there. The inaction on the part of locals is what is bringing this on. It’s not surprising.

  14. I must admit a mistake on this preview (like I haven't had to do it before). I had Easton Walker listed at both tight end and split end. The tight end, as it has been for the last two years, will be senior Logan Bell. My apologies to Logan and Coach Mathews!

  18. Well, it was a Tyler ISD vote. But there is some irony in that a school district in the City of Tyler is dropping the high school name Tyler because of racial overtones.

    Tbh I don't totally understand this a much as I should. I need to read up and study more. I've tried to bring this up before. To fully explain it I would have to name names. Some get offended so I don't. If a person has a grasp of what is going on, and knows who the major players are that person and literally see it unfold. You don't have say anything against them. They will tell you themselves what there plans and goals are. Both bible prophecy and history sheds light on this. In the book of Daniel, rightly understood, the book of revelation, some of the epistles of Paul and the other apostles. There is a series of books on this.. It is called the conflict of the ages series. This thing can be traced all the way back to when Lucifer was kicked out of heaven. One key factor to consider is everything God does or says Satan counterfeits it. All those books in that series can be found online. The first is Patriachs and Prophets. The last book is called The Great Controversy. A second name for that same book is America in Prophecy. You are right, America is the lone secular super power. But there is another super power that controls America that is both secular and ecclesiastical. It is both a country and a super church. That is both a strong and, dare I say, deadly combination. I am not trying to offend anybody, but this is absolute truth.
