A picture of a near-empty downtown Los Angeles appeared on “X” recently with this caption under it: “Los Angeles has one of the deadest downtowns in the world, according to a new survey.” I’d like to know a little more about that survey and how the surveyors arrived at their conclusion, but there’s not much debate among patriotic Americans that most metropolitan areas of the country are currently in horrible condition. That doesn’t need “surveys” to prove.

When one looks at the major metropolises in America in 2026, one sees so much tragedy and heartbreak. Once great, thriving cities that millions fled to for hope and opportunity—people (and businesses) now, if they can, are running from them as rapidly as they can get away. Why? What happened? Too much Judeo-Christian morality?

I’d like to ask, which one of these great cities has had even one Republican mayor in the last 50 years? Very, very few of them, I suspect. This tragedy, in American big cities, has been caused, 100 percent, by the Democrat Party and its policies and politicians. Not just their policies, but the decadent lifestyle they encourage people to live can only lead to desecration and ruin.

Why do people continue to vote for Democrats when they see the horrors they produce? Well, there are many reasons, I guess. Some do it out of tradition—”my family has always voted Democrat, so I do, too.” That’s super-intelligent reasoning, isn’t it? Some vote Democrat out of hate: “I will never vote for Donald Trump.” Others do it out of apathy; they just don’t really care too much about politics as long as their lives are moving........
