Another story of a failed, democrat-run American city…
Philadelphia democrat mayor Jim Kenney
Philadelphia hasn’t had a republican mayor since 1952. The current mayor, Jim Kenney, has been in charge of Philadelphia sincee 2016 and was re-elected in 2019. Kenney was caught on video dancing and celebrating the city’s sanctuary city ruling in 2018. The drugs flowing across our open southern border have contributed mightily to Philadephia’s opioid addiction failure.
Crime is high in Philadelphia, of course. As of July 3, there was over 900 shootinngs in their city. Last year the mayor addressed citizens’ concerns over violence by saying, “We know residents are afraid, afraid to attend cookouts or go to basketball courts, afraid to let their kids play outside. I heard it on my corridor tours, I hear it at community meetings, I read your emails. I hear you and it truly breaks my heart.”
Here’s what the good mayor’s city looks like these days:
Not only should residents be afraid to attend cookouts or let their kids play outside, they should be afraid to walk their dogs. Case in point: Navy veteran brutally beaten while walkinng his dog in Philadelphia. Read the story at the link or watch this:
The victim, Scott Harris, has served multiple years on deployment overseas, but his tours were uneventful compared to his walk last weekend. “I did a year in a war zone in Iraq, did two years in Ukraine, and would not have expected this to happen in my own neighborhood,” he said.
No surprise that Philadelphia is ranked as one of the worst cities in America.
American voters in these blue cities better wake up. Our towns are crumbling before our very eyes. It truly breaks my heart that so many voters have yet to learn the most important factor when voting:

How far off it Rapture?
Welcome to the new world coming to your town soon.
Our own government is at war with us for total control of our lives.
Web site would not let me edit my first post did not have my glasses on lol.
Brian — I’ve been there, done that! It just makes one crazy.
Yup your right about that.
Polling agencies should ask the Democrat voters of these failed blue cities and states why they continue to vote Dem and why they would never ever vote GOP. Their behavior is so irrational and contrary to self-interest. But then, it may be that abortion and welfare benefits are just too important to them, over-riding rampant crime, drugs, “homeless,” sky-high cost-of-living, etc. If so, they fully deserve living those hell-holes.
I doubt that any of us back when LBJ brought in “the Great Society” or whatever they called it (promoting Uncle Sam as the breadwinner for single mothers) had any idea what the long term, catastrophic conditions this would bring about in society. It was all about getting minority voters to vote Democratic tickets, and very little about the welfare of these individuals. Yet, those who feed at the public trough just will not give up on the freebies. Kind of like a heroin addict just cannot wait for their next fix–even if it may mean certain death. These are the things that have destroyed so many American cities–all in the name of keeping a Democrat in power.
Another Demonrat city, ironically named city of brotherly love.
