    We’re always concerned about the threat of terrorists possibly releasing bacteria such as plague in some aerosol form. But who needs terrorists when your own government bureaucrats are fully capable of letting it take hold and metastasize on their own streets?

    I hesitated to link to this article about bubonic plaguebecause I’m not trying to sensationalize this problem. (In fact, if you’re a hypochondriac, you might not want to read it at all, and just remember that unless you live or work around this filth, you’re generally safe.) But it’s important for people to see the seriousness of the threat of this and other diseases and not let political correctness get in the way of handling it.

    We don’t want leftists to, in effect, give the bubonic plague bacterium or some other microbe full civil rights because it happens to take hold among the homeless population.

    Anyway, in these large, dirty, poorly run cities, there are victims beyond the hard-core homeless (although they are victims, too). I feel especially sorry for two groups of people: the ones who want to get out of there but who can’t afford to leave, and also for those police officers and public health officials who are risking their own lives and health and fighting a losing battle, with no assistance from the mayor and City Council. These politicians should be ashamed of themselves for even taking a paycheck if this is the best they can do.

    In San Francisco, House Majority Leader Nancy Pelosi lives and works behind security gates, within a mile of some of the most filthy, horrific examples of this. Large numbers of homeless people are camping out alongside the buildings, using the sidewalks and stairwells for toilets, shooting up drugs and tossing their used syringes all over the ground.

    Pelosi doesn’t want a wall for America, but in San Francisco, she has one for herself, just as all her cronies do. The hypocrisy and downright insanity of “progressivism” is too obvious to ignore.

    This isn’t just a political discussion — this is a discussion of how America is going to survive as a civilization if we keep going on this track. https://stream.org/the-plague-of-leftism-is-evident-in-our-filthy-cities/ Mike Huckabee is right. The number and types of diseases around now is scary. The filth being spread in progressive occupied urban areas around the country.’

    It is interesting to study the effects of one party rule for 50-100 consecutive years has on some places around the country. The former governor and presidential candidate is right.

    Stop quoting crap sources, including hacks like Mike Huckabee.

    The United States has averaged a whopping seven cases a year of bubonic plague, nearly all of it NOT in cities, but in Arizona, New Mexico, Utah and Colorado.
    https://www.cdc.gov/plague/maps/index.html

    As far as recent increases in typhus cases, we're again talking a very small number, and it's a mild form of typhus, spread by fleas and lice, not the "epidemic typhus" most people think of.
    https://www.voanews.com/a/typhus-cases-rise-in-los-angeles-several-other-us-cities/4621679.html

    So please stop the ill-informed fear-mongering.

    Conservatives continually claim that human actions do not have any impact on the environment. Has something changed?

    Here's what I increasingly hear from conservatives these days:
    1. Ignore science
    2. Ignore experts
    3. Who needs a college education?
    4. Be scared of cities
    5. Anything that benefits the wealthy benefits all of us.
    6. I am not part of society and owe nothing to it.

    The paranoia, entitlement and anti-intellectualism of the right just keeps growing.

    It seems that a lot of cities run by Democrats are in dire straits. Here are a few examples:
    Flint, MI---Democrat run for 84 years----they have the polluted water
    Detroit--Democrat run since 1957
    Chicago--Democrat run since 1927
    St. Louis--Democrat run since 1949
    Philadelphia--Democrat run since 1952
    Newark--Democrat run for 100 years
    Baltimore--Democrat run for 50 years
    San Francisco Democrat run since 1964

    Democrat run cities are soft on crime because it seems that the top 10 violent cities are run by Democrats. They make it hard on local businesses to succeed. There are high taxes and bad services. They give fat pensions to unions. They reward their cronies with public money. And now if you look at places like San Francisco and LA, there are many health hazards and threats of epidemics. You truly get the government you deserve, and these people just keep voting the bad guys back in. Dems always toot their own horns about how much "smarter" they are than everyone else, yet they would rather vote for the snake oil salesman time and again who promise great things, but always fail miserably, and nothing ever changes. Democrats really need to smarten up or their cities will become more uninhabitable than they are now.

    If you are for defecating on sidewalks, urinating in doorways, and sleeping in city parks, then vote for a democrat and you'll get more.

    Dallas, Texas hasnt been blue very long... but May stats show 40 murders... so we're catching up. Not to mention our idiot city leaders are adding rental POGO STICKS to our pool of electric scooters & bicycles as alternative transportation downtown. I look for homeless tents and feces on the sidewalks next. :rant:

    (Eddie Bernice Johnson must be so proud)

    But as the population of economic refugees from the blue states grows the liberal craziness will only get worse

    Yes, pogo sticks. (From a Swedish co)

    10 yrs ago the city council was adamant that all bike riders wear helmets. Now nobody cares about that and as of today, several people have died from head injuries while riding electric scooters (not to mention how many have been run over). Its a joke... we're providing transportation for able bodied millennials, but nothing for anyone else.

    Typical blue absurdity.

    My favorite modern day liberal stupidity by the previously competent Dallas city governement relates to the street that runs along the Trinity River

    It seems that the city leaders want a riverwalk like the one in San Antonio

    But even though it is decades away they decided to change the name of Industrial Blvd to something artsy

    So being the brainless populists that they are it was decided to put it to a public vote so the people could decide

    Well the votes were counted and the hispanics that libs count on to get elected tallied the most votes for Ceasar Chavez Ave

    No Way, said the elected morons

    That was not what they had in mind at all

    So they arbitarily decreed the name to be Riverfront Blvd

    Which pissed off the hispanics and made a laughing stock of the dem pols at City Hall

    If the illegals are healthy enough to walk from Central America to our southern border they are far healthier and in better shape than most Americans.

    Our entire country is dirty dingy and run down and falling apart both urban and rural.Our roads and bridges are crumbling and often unsafe,our airports are all early 20th century as are our ports,public transportation in our country sucks and in many cases filthy,cities in Europe that were around 800 to 1,000 years before our country came into being are fair more modern and cleaner.Neither of our political parties have done anything to bring our country into the 21st Century.We still vote on antiquated voting machines from the vey early 20th century,IN THE COMPUTER ERA??????WHY so our politicians can cheat and scam the system.

    Being that liberals tend to be noticeably more "smarter" than yer average conservative, and more honest; of the top ten wealthiest cities, nine are solidly Democratic. It is those "smart" Democratic cities that are driving the economy.
