A DUBIOUS RECORD

CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY JANUARY 2, 2024
IT IS BEING CALLED THE BLOODIET YEAR IN A CENTURY. THE CITY IS WASHINGTON, D.C., OUR NATION’S CAPITAL WHERE, AS OF LAST THURSDAY, THERE HAVE BEEN 271 MURDERS. THAT’S WAY ABOVE CHICAGO WHERE THERE ARE ACTUALLY FAR FEWER MURDERS, THOUGH ABOUT THE SAME NUMBER OF SHOOTINGS AS D.C.
WASHINGTON HAS BEEN LED BY DEMOCRATS SINCE HOME RULE BEGAN IN THE 1960S. VOTERS CONTINUE TO ELECT THEM. ALL THE POLTICIANS OFFER IS PLATITUDES. AFTER THE KILLING OF GEORGE FLOYD IN MINNEAPOLIS, SOME CALLED FOR DEFUNDING THE POLICE, A SIGNAL TO CRIMINALS. WHEN MURDERS, LOOTING, AND OTHER CRIMES SPIKED, THE DEMOCRATS CALLED FOR MORE POLICE.
THE VICTIMS AND THE PERPETRATORS ARE MOSTLY BLACK IN A MAJORITY BLACK CITY. YOU MIGHT THINK THIS WOULD CAUSE MORE BLACK VOTERS TO TRY REPUBLICANS FOR A CHANGE. YOU WOULD BE WRONG. THEY APPEAR ADDICTED TO THE DEMOCRAT PARTY.
THE SOLUTIONS ARE NOT A MYSTERY: SCHOOL CHOICE, LOVING FATHERS IN THE HOME, AND MORE POLICE ON THE STREETS.
I WAS BORN IN WASHINGTON, BUT I WOULD NOT WALK DOWN ITS STREETS THESE DAYS. WHAT AN INDICTMENT OF OUR MORAL SLIDE AS A NATION. I’M CAL THOMAS.
