In another post I mentioned that I was born and raised in Baltimore, but not this Baltimore. It's a great place to be "from", and I would never go back. To be fair, I have no desire to even visit any American city, not any more. Even if the politicians who destroyed them were voted out today, the cities couldn't revive in what time is left to my life...

CPT Jack Durish I feel exactly about my place of birth, Boston. My old neighborhood was gentrified and I'm no longer welcome there. I appreciate my sports teams from afar and that's where it ends. I visit towns in Massachusetts where I also lived but I have little use for areas where people literally went crazy when they saw we had a certain political magnet on our car.

CPT Jack Durish What people do not understand is that it's a cesspool now. Democrats have been in control for decades and it shows. Baltimore looks like a 3rd world country (in most parts) largely because the crime is so bad that people have moved out and it's in ruins. President Trump is right that the Congressman needs to pay attention to his district and not worry about the rest of the country. It's also not a safe place to go due to all the murders and drug dealers (it's a heroin and fentanyl mecca) and it's all controlled by gangs (crips, bloods, black guerrilla family - just to name a few) and they all believe in controlling their turfs.

Even Bernie Sanders called it a Third World Country.

Most major cities and even a suburb near me in North Texas have issues with rat infestations. Though it maybe a racial stereotype..........maybe it's long time we took the race out of it? Rat infestations can be fixed via better sanitation control (using sealed steal dumpsters instead of open dumpsters for restaurants is a good start). Limiting the flushing of food down the water drain is a second good step. Third would be limiting the tall grass and junk pile habitat that rats love to live in. So in my view this again could have been a teaching moment for the nation but devolved into name calling by people that really are unconcerned about the issue and more concerned about maintaining the status quo
