A homeless woman under influence of a drug, cause a scene last week by undressing herself and stood in the public in front of the Spectrum Center. The security escorted her out stood there and probably did nothing. Two days later she was on a bus stop bench fully clothed, still on drugs. I'm thinking did the police arrested this woman, or not? No one reached out to help, all they did was took pics and videos! Do anyone in city hall see this as a problem? I pray and hope she gets the help she needs.

Just vote Trump and he said he is going to end this by going through the parks and cities and rounding them all up and building camps to put them all in.

I don't want to sound critical, but who is it that you believe should help? And why do you believe government can help or provide the best help? Why aren't you calling out local churches? Shouldn't they be the ones helping this woman break the yokes of her bondage?
To me, the reliance on government for a job it's unsuited for is the wrong way to go. Some church should step in and help. But since so few are doing this, the church has lost relevance in our time. You can always be the help you are looking for.

This is strange because the city of Charlotte is not the only city in United States having this problem.
Even Boston is starting to look like San Francisco during its infancy.
Hopefully it doesn't spread out so i don't have to move. Again.

There are many pockets in US that are not affected by degeneracy, lunacy or illegal immigration.
My area is one of them, but since the big cities usually employ woke policies it sometimes can affect the surrounding areas.
But US is a BIG place so there's a lot of room for sanity here.
People can do their clown-brigade things in their area.

I personally liked the move of the Texas governor sending some illegals to Martha's Vineyard, the classic JFK liberal town.
Give them a taste of what Texas experiences on a daily basis.

I was thinking it was Desantis but who's counting,lol Some of this sort of backfires though because if they violate their civil rights by doing this they automatically are approved for Asylum and then can work,vote ect.(in the case you referred to they are now US citizens)...

Republicans control the House and if Trump wins and they pick up a few more seats in the Senate then Congress can walk through any bill they want. Why I say this is because he says he will seek the death penalty for anyone caught trafficking drugs so drug dealers in the US will probably get real scarce.

I remember back when I was in ministry. Churches would have outdoor services, which meant in their parking lot, away from the people who needed to hear it. Someone said the worst thing the churches ever did was move up town. I would say the Salvation Army are the only ones that stayed faithful to the call. We ministered in a Sal. Army in downtown Toronto once. We sang and spoke in a nearby park and then finished at the church. The pastor warned us that there would be drug addicts, drunks, prostitutes and homeless there that night. Perhaps most of them came for the food but they sat and listened to the music and the message. They were the most real yet the most respectful crowd I ever ministered to, and they ministered back to me. We had people come forward for salvation. We talked with them after and heard each story. That was a church doing the Lords work! I never have forgotten that night in the hundreds of places I visited.

Yeah that's why i'm looking to just escape the lunacy. Since i like the water, i would enjoy fishing towns where their whole mentality is "What are you all arguing about over there?"

Interesting video. He is mostly talking about the drug cartel kingpins, leadership, infrastructure, and operations.
Seeking the death penalty for every Joe Blow pusher seems extreme. But something needs to be done...

Trump is an interesting character. He's a showman first of all. A showman with very thin skin.
If you look at his childhood and his behavior in the 80s he basically has a lot of father issues and he said himself that "life is an act". So he's living in the act now for a long time.
The only reason he ran for president is because Obama made fun of him in a white house correspondents dinner so being trained by his father to see everyone as winners or losers, to his credit he build the greatest show on the Republican platform.
You have to give him credit in the fact that he's not a politician and wants to treat every topic like a corporation in a win/lose style.
So by sheer luck, just like his casinos, you get some good things out of him.
But most of the time you're spinning the wheel of fortune with him. You got some good things and some bad things based on his inexperience, which in today's politics is an asset.

One thing that i particularly liked is when he was forcing Europe to pay more for defense.
In theory, he is right and most people support that but in reality, that will never happen.
It would be the equivalent of US dropping the second amendment and having universal health care. It just won't happen.
The military industrial complex is bigger than Trump or any man and it's how things work on any empire. This is why the tides of history are bigger than us.
An empire's job is to show military might and this is its destiny until the end.
 
AOC (Alexandra Ocasio Cortez) was elected on this very premise by the way. That she is inexperienced and unaffected by politics.
So from bartender she went to Washington DC making decisions for the rest of us.

USA is a country of many flavors and extremes, so you get what you put in.

Therein is the heart of the problem. Who said that illegal lawbreakers and criminals have "civil rights"?

Should they not all be jailed, since criminals lose their civil rights when they commit crimes? This is typical Leftist nonsense. The Democrats have given more rights and privileges to criminals than to law-abiding citizens paying taxes, so that these criminals can live in luxury with absolutely no accountability. Almost all American cities have now been destroyed since the Democrats and their black mayors took over.

Homelessness is just one issue, and was encouraged by the Democrats throughout the USA. Then you have drugs, prostitution, murders, rapes, child trafficking, sex trafficking, and the list goes on. The mayors and city councils sat back and did absolutely nothing about crime, except defund the police, support BLM and Antifa, encourage lawlessness by letting criminals go free, and systematically destroyed everything that makes a city livable.

People fled to the suburbs, and now the criminals are going there to wreak havoc. With the flooding of illegals by Biden, even the small towns will be destroyed. When you tell foreign intruders and invaders that they are exempt from all the laws, what do you expect? This is insanity but there has been very little real opposition.

hey I hear you but you have it backwards the current immigration Act(laws we currently follow) was signed into law in 1986 by Regan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_Reform_and_Control_Act_of_1986 the only way to change it is to pass HR2 that the Republicans introduced https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-bill/2
 
I respect all your comments, but to reply to one comment I'm not sure who I'm voting for. I might sit this one out. I do help out by giving them money and food, but, I don't it all the time, because some use the money to but more drugs, or just toss the food away, because they're not hungry, and their urge for another fix of drugs they're addicted to.

Death penalty for drugs sounds a little like Islamic countries. I hope Trump isn’t paving the way for a theocracy.
