Vote Trump -- research his 500 billion dollar platinum plan that was made specifically for those who are stuck living in poor Democrat ran cities. It includes school choice and a plan to help end the cycle of poverty that began with LBJ. The truth is: Democrats cannot win federal elections if they do not have the black vote from the inner cities, so they never have and they never will have a plan to help people in these cities build a better life.

I started watching this because last night at just after midnight I heard what I thought might be gunshots, then sirens after seemed to confirm it. But I live in NorthEAST, not Northwest... so I waited to see the other locations and sure enough, last one's in northeast, right where I could have heard it, but the time was 5 hours later, so who knows what went down at first but apparently no one was hit until 5 hours later. This is the first time I've turned to Fox News on the internet to confirm or deny something I literally may have happened nearby.

Absolutely 100% Agree... They Had A Chance To Get Her Out Of Office And Get Changes Made And Things Done Within The City.... But The Washingtonian's Voted Her Back In Office, Allowed The Alphabet Agenda Squad To Move Into The City Take Over And Get Her Re-Elected And These Are The Consequences For Ppl Not Stepping Up For The City And Voting For Someone More Qualified And Capable Of Getting Things Done...

The Laws of God are still in effect, God has given the wicked (aka the heathen, aka the beast, aka the Europeans) a chance to rule, and they re-written the laws to benefit them. These people will not allow someone to come along and dictate the Laws of God to them, because these people hate God and His Laws, and His Laws they will not do. Basically, the people that take this approach are anti-Christ. You crime problems will not be fixed. .

Everyone is responsible for their own choices but, not everyone is cognizant of the true viability of their options, the power they have to exercise them or is free from domineering influences that steer them in the wrong direction. We've all been there. Nothing happens in a vacuum. Thank God it didn't end with the loss of our lives. I think the relevant question, knowing that you can't rid the world of all evil, is what are we doing to affect the world for good... starting with ourselves. In other words, is there really any salvation? Not only for others but also ourselves. I believe the answer is yes.
