PHILADELPHIA: After 70 Years Of Democratic Leadership, ‘Birthplace Of Liberty Is Cesspool Of Murder’ | Eastern NC Now

    Philadelphia was once one of the greatest cities in America.

    Home to the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, where the Declaration of Independence and Constitution were signed, and significant American Revolutionary sites, the city is steeped in history.

    And its motto is the "City of Brotherly Love."

    But not anymore. The city - run by Democrats for the last 70 years - is now a complete mess. The homeless are everywhere, drug addicts openly shoot up on the streets, and crime has soared.

    "Shootings have occurred every day of the week and at any given hour of the day since May 31 - with nearly every corner of the city impacted," the Daily Mail reported on Wednesday.

    More than 750 people have been shot since the end of May - that's a span of just 121 days, so an average of more than six a day.

    The crime wave has hit nearly everyone in the city. Just last week, a Temple University graduate was murdered by a masked gunman while walking down the street, and a 14-year-old football player was killed after leaving a school scrimmage.

    This week, a video captured a horrifying moment when an armed carjacker on a bicycle ambushed a mother, 48, and her teenage daughter, 14, in their own driveway.

    Then another video went viral showing a mob of 100 youths - some as young as 10 - ransacking and looting a Wawa convenience store over the weekend. They trashed the store, assaulting clerks and jumping up and down on cars in the parking lot.

    Meanwhile, drug addicts have been using xylazine - a muscle relaxant intended for large animals like horses and cows - and at night, some sections of the city are overrun with people frozen in place and stumbling around like zombies.

    But it appears as if some city residents are finally getting fed up.

    "Sickening to see kids walking out of football practice get shot dead in Philadelphia," podcast host Nick Kayal wrote on Twitter.

    "Progressive policies & being soft on crime only continues to destroy this city. But I'm sure the Dem's will continue to complain about it and STILL vote Democratic."

    "It's almost as insane as Democrats leaving the Northeast, moving south, to get away from this nonsense and then still voting Democrat as a southern resident! I saw it first hand," Kayal added.

    Another Twitter user said, "The birthplace of liberty is a cesspool of murder."

    Said yet another: "Born and raised in #Philly taught there for 20+ years. Dem policies destroyed the city. Crime ridden disaster. Can't even safely take a walk. Can't drive carjackings up 70%. City is a joke!"

    And others widened out the criticism, with one tweeting: "Let's see, the highest crime ridden cities in America, NY, Chicago, Philadelphia, New Orleans, LA, Seattle, Portland, Detroit, Minneapolis, Gary, Cincinnati are all controlled by Democrats. Think that's a coincidence? Will you old time democrats ever wake up?"

    And yet, on November 8, Philadelphia residents will - as they have for 70 years - vote in Democrats, once again proving true the saying: "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results."

In light of continued developments, primarily since 2008, there exists in these United States a Legal System which operates on a proved Two Tiered approach to justice rendered, which primarily benefits Democratic Elites and Woke Ideological Virtue Signalers, representing their co-dependent wards, to the expressed exclusion of normal hardworking American citizens: What is your suggestion in remedying this widespread injustice and, if not corrected, its existential outcome for our Constitutional Republic?

  Complete overhaul of the Department of Justice and their enforcers - the FBI - to reflect a far more honest justice system to keep patriots remaining calm.

  Disband the FBI, and request that congress investigate all unethical and non patriotic practices to partially right the wrongs of a distrusted and politically weaponized "Department of Justice."

  Continue with the current system since the two tiered justice system has been so remarkably beneficial to Democratic Socialist political hegemony; chronic distrust in institutions notwithstanding.

Inarguably, the policies of the Democrats in congress and Joe Biden as the Executive is plunging the United States into a recession, if we are not already there; a recession that was completely avoidable. Will abrupt changes in policies occur in time?

  Yes, the Democrats have a bold plan, yet to be revealed, to save us.

  No, there will have to be a complete undoing of the damage done by these Democrats.

  I can't do simple math, so how am I to understand the concept of basic economics.
