Cleaning up physical DC is a breeze compared to cleaning up the moral disintegration.

(04/21/23: Five NFL players caught violating the rules about gambling, instantly detected and suspended. The CIA --- Criminals Investing In (Off-Book) Assets , supposedly the greatest investigative agency since Napoleon's Fouche & his Paris police, can't keep track of the huge gold bars in their custody.)

05/29/26: “Blue Origin Rocket Exploded On The Pad Last Night And Here Is How Bad It Is”

Fortunately, they hadn’t yet loaded any of the gold bars that Rush (great name for a rock band!) was planning to stash on the Moon.

Retirednottired's avatar

Which brings the question: Why in HELL does the CIA have a supply of gold bars?!?!

Broken windows policing will slow and possibly reverse the moral disintegration.

steph_gray's avatar

Yes,, it will. We need it everywhere.

The people arrested under that policy for the minor crimes are also committing the big ones, so control of their moral disintegration (behind bars) should (barring lefty judges) be assured.

Many of the rest of the population will keep moral disintegration in their hearts. But they will have far less incentive to act upon it.

It’s interesting. When you work and live there, you don’t notice. I worked on DC for decades. Took the commuter train everyday. I did see the homeless but I was in a hurry to get to work. Had my earbuds in and beelined out the door like everyone else. There were always plenty of vendors.

Reddog's avatar

I live in Alexandria and went to DC often for work. I noticed it all.

Greg's avatar

Maybe I was just tainted?

Reddog's avatar

No, I can see how a person could just turn it off after a while.When I had business on the Hill, I would ride the Metro train in from Alexandria to Union Station. The Station was decent then. Safe. I got sick of the panhandlers though. They looked like perfectly healthy, albeit dirty, guys who should be working. I once was with a staffer and a guy comes up and says “ can you spare $20 so I can eat”? I was so sick of that crap that I spun around and told him to get away from me, I’m not a bank. You don’t want to work, starve then. The staffer looks at me and says “that was a bit harsh”. I told her then you go buy his meal then. I no longer care for people who can work but don’t and expect me to fund their habit. I can live with that decision just fine.

Stephen Wolf's avatar

2 Thessalonians 3:10: "For even when we were with you, we gave you this command: If anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat".

God doesn't think it's harsh.

Albert P. Sweeney's avatar

While PDJT beautifies the surroundings the only way to rid DC of the remaining stench is to eliminate the source of the “odor”.

The NGOs and “Non-Profits” that own the elected officials and professional bureaucrats that infest our government.

May GOD Almighty continue to bless and protect President Donald J. Trump and these United States of America.

This is a most encouraging development with regard to all the grifting NGO’s and 501c’s robbing us blind:

https://legalinsurrection.com/2026/05/opinion-treasury-is-rightly-focused-on-nonprofit-transparency/

TeaPartyGal's avatar

Excellent article. The author is right, the new requirements should apply to 501(c)(4)'s as well as to 501(c)(3)'s. This type of transparency would go along way to cleaning up this form of grift.

Joseph Kaplan's avatar

The second best way to get rich in America is to create a 501c3 non profit entity

The first way is to get elected to Congress

Brian LeMay's avatar

Agree , only include all NGOs . Nonprofit or not .

LSI's avatar

It’s curious that every time a black Democrat mayor takes over a city it quickly starts looking like Mogadishu. They destroy everything they touch and build nothing.

Doggie Dad's avatar

Please don't exclude white Democrats. Minneapolis, Chicago, Portland, Seattle, and San Francisco are all run by white-as-soy milk Democrat Socialists and are all contenders in the race to the bottom.

Denton Salle's avatar

Yeah, no need for any sort of ethnicity in that. Any flavor of Democrat will ruin your town and probably kill your dog.

Wim de Vriend's avatar

Chicago's mayor is Brandon Johnson, who is the fourth black mayor of that city; one of his predecessors was Lori Lightfoot, whose name speaks for itself, as does the fact that she lost her bid for re-election.

Doggie Dad's avatar

You're correct. Sorry. I was thinking of Pritzker, who is doing his best to destroy the entire state.

tj's avatar

He is making a lot of progress on that.

Stephen Wolf's avatar

One do nothing for another. The people of Chicago deserve all the pain they voted for.

Grumpy Oldman's avatar

There’s a reason Chicago is referred to as ChiCongo - lesbo Lori “Beetlejuice” Lightfoot and metrosexual homo Brandon Johnson.

No competent caucasian has been Mayor since the Daly father & son.

Rahmbo Emanuel, a JINO is an aberration, an incompetent Jew.

It doesn’t take JINO’s and ghetto-rats long to destroy major metropolitan areas.

Retirednottired's avatar

Sorry, Dad, Chicago is currently run by a black man with no ability and a funny haircut.

Jeremy R's avatar

Black democrats, White democrats, female democrats.... I see a pattern here. Let's not be sexists or racists, it's ALL democrats.

Grumpy Oldman's avatar

no jacka$$ political grifter has ever had a REAL job, always suckling the government teat.

steph_gray's avatar

Yes!

(Except when it's RIINOs. But I guess I repeat myself... they are one and the same.)

Joe LaGreca's avatar

Not only that - they are corrupt & the team they bring onboard is corrupt. They are grifters.

Marlan Hoerer's avatar

I see it in the female chiefs of police living in Ore and remember Danielle Outlaw who after mucking up Portland went back east to Philly if I recall. to quote someone we know {sad} .

Reddog's avatar

Blue places hire based on the candidates voting record, not who is best qualified.

steph_gray's avatar

That and identity. But being full-on communist has become their requirement as well now.

Grumpy Oldman's avatar

never forget skin color and sexual orientation. the more perverse, the better…

Reddog's avatar

Yep we are saying the same thing.

Damn the torpedoes's avatar

The female chiefs drive me nuts. But in Boston, we have a blown-in lesbian governor; a transient female Chinese mayor, and an assortment of city council members that rival the UN. Of them all, only two councillors were born in Boston, and are white. And of course, there’s the requisite black police Commissioner. And absolutely nothing in the Commonwealth or city works, including the office holders!

Marlan Hoerer's avatar

Have been watching Wu do her best to climb the dem rope ladder for greater ability to destroy and now she is competing with Mamdani to ruin a once great city fastest. She does not understand that he is evil as well as communist, so no ladies first but dog eat dog.

Sam Prentice's avatar

I attribute it entirely to Democrat control. Regardless of their race, leaders of Democrat cities and states see it as their responsibility to lead to the debilitation of everything they touch. The only reason suburbs controlled by Democrats aren't yet as terrible are that half of their populations are Republicans who hold the Democrats at bey.

steph_gray's avatar

Good point - we're certainly trying in my still kinda purple suburb in a pure blue state.

tj's avatar

We are still trying here too. A lot of those RINOs come from my state as they are unable to get elected if they run as Dims. Kinda sucks because it is a choice better the lessor of the evils.

Reddog's avatar

True but not just black Americans. The common theme is how they vote, all Democrat.

Richard Luthmann's avatar

This is the difference between government by excuses and government by results. The ruling-class machine let Union Station rot while committees, redevelopment corporations, agencies, and local officials pointed fingers. Trump looked at the same mess and treated it like a job site. Clean it. Secure it. Restore it. Open the fountain. Move the vagrancy. Make the city safe for families, tourists, commuters, and patriots coming for America 250. Violent crime down. Carjackings down. Public spaces coming back. The permanent political class manages decay. Trump reverses it. Washington should look like the capital of the greatest nation on earth.

tj's avatar

You have summed it up nicely. Trump treats it like a problem to be fixed. The politicians treat it as a problem to continue so they can keep inflating the budget to fix the problem.

The Accidental Hoosier's avatar

The photos of Columbus Circle are stunning. I also love the tagline I have seen: "Decline is a Choice". For too long, we have chosen (or accepted, which is the same) decline as just the way things must be. It's simply not true. But it takes effort and courage to stand up to those who choose decline for us.

NNTX's avatar

I hear your point, but for sure I never acceded to decline. It was crammed down by throat by the globalists hawking the “rules based international order.” Obama was merely the apotheosis of this hideous creed.

In my adult life I never voted for this at any time. Have done quite a bit to advance what turned out to be worthless RINOs. The recent primary results show that we the voters are totally fed up with this. But will the RINOs still enshrined (or embalmed) in Congress hear us?

The Accidental Hoosier's avatar

The answer to your question is an emphatic no. I mean, they may listen to us, but they won't hear us (borrowing a quote from White Men Can't Jump). They have no reason to: They are already paid handsomely by the Deep State, and they know that if they lose they will be paid even more. The flip side is also in full effect: They are compromised and know they will be ruined (and their families as well) if they don't play ball. Anyone who thinks Massie, Cornyn, and Cassidy are worried or upset (or will be poor) because they lost is not paying attention.

And I completely agree with your assessment. I feel the same way when I look at the forced "cultural enrichment" in my community. It pisses me off because I never voted for it, and my state never voted for it. But they did it anyway. It really puts a strain on my ability to obey Mt. 5:43-47 when I see my neighborhood today.

NNTX's avatar

I am with you. Today’s stories are so bad that I had to resort to double Bible reading to withstand it.

Thanks be to God we are, ultimately, citizens of heaven. As the “principalities and powers” are having a field day here.

Danimal28's avatar

Cut all taxpayer theft to NGO's and you will see crime disappear. Worldwide. Same with immigration. Same with the Debt.

Joe LaGreca's avatar

Congress should pass a law banning any federal funding of NGO's - regardless of if they are right or left wing. BTW, are there any right-wing NGO's? Haven't seen that mentioned.

Danimal28's avatar

I get your point, brother, but, unfortunately, there are plenty of 'republican' NGO's that have caused much world misery. USAID, National Endowment for Democracy(NED, Reagan admin created this), The Atlantic Council, International Republican Institute... Mike Benz lays all of this out. Epstein crosses all of these.

The whole of our federal government is a racketeering operation as far as I am concerned as there hasn't been accountability for over 20 years, the last time congress passed a budget(2007). It is a real travesty.

Marlan Hoerer's avatar

Locks and laws only stop HONEST people !!

Jeremy R's avatar

Shotguns and ARs stop dishonest people.

Marlan Hoerer's avatar

I guess that should have been keep honest people honest ?

Jeremy R's avatar

No, not at all, you were correct.

When your lock fails to stop someone at 3am, the shotgun beside your bed will cause them to shit, or you blow the shit outta them.

If it takes a lock to keep someone from crime, they aren't honest, just a lazy criminal.

Retirednottired's avatar

And then, corrupt DAs and judges stop the gun owners.

dancingtime's avatar

Absolutely....Not an NGO if they're getting government funds.

tj's avatar

Yep. By its very definition, it is not an NGO if they are getting paid by the government.

tj's avatar

All NGOs. All government funding gone. If they believe in their cause enough, they can ask for donations. They would then actually have to sell their idea. And better yet, would be accountable to the donors or no more funds.

So yes, no funds at all to any NGOs. They may start out good but like everything the government touches, they turn to s*it and have no accountability.

Danimal28's avatar

It is all theft of the taxpayer. The game.

Retirednottired's avatar

I'm afraid you are far too optimistic.

Scott L's avatar

Only a freaking Dumocrat could complain about the Donald cleaning up DC! However, so long as DC is governed by the City Council - a body full of functionally illiterate communists - the city will continue to be problematic. I don’t trust DC voters to take care of the city… they have fucked things up. We old people that they elected Marion Barry multiple times; even after he was a drug-addicted convicted felon! And name one outcome of council rule that represents an improvement?

Marlan Hoerer's avatar

Saw Pratt on Gutfeld last night and he is as good as the ads in explaining the race and maintaining he will win. If 2-3 of he and the Donalds drive and awareness could be teamed with a S. Pressler this country may make a full right turn and it is sorely needed.

Cookie McCall's avatar

I also saw him on Gutfeld last night. I don’t live in CA but I sure hope he wins

Suzie's avatar

Here’s one of my favorite of his campaign videos! Awesome!

https://x.com/TruePatriotAU/status/2055419509972910083?s=20

TeaPartyGal's avatar

Another superb offering today, Suzie. I hadn't seen that particular Spencer Pratt one.

There is something really powerful going on with Spencer Pratt. These videos are piercing through the Democratic slime like almost nothing else has in recent years. Perhaps the moment has crystalized when things have gotten so bad, that Americans are ready to have the scales start dropping off their eyes bigtime.

Suzie's avatar

Charlie Curran is the name of the guy who creates all these Pratt videos.

He’s not ”officially” connected to the campaign so he can get away with a lot of stuff the FEC would otherwise not allow with a campaign affiliates group or person.

His videos have been an absolute game changer in that race!

If the GOP were smart - and not corrupted they should be chatting with him for the midterms, or any candidate with half a brain.

steph_gray's avatar

Steve Hilton should hire him yesterday.

WTPuck's avatar

No. He doesn't need to be corrupted by those feckless, play-to-lose repubs.

steph_gray's avatar

That's awesome! How did he end up with a hummingbird symbol, I wonder - because they move so fast? Quite fitting.

Beats a Nazi tattoo any day of the week. 😁

tj's avatar

From what I have gathered, he had several hummingbird feeders in his backyard and his whole family was involved in feeding the hummingbirds. There are a couple of pictures of Pratt holding one of his sons who had a small feeder in his hand and a couple hummingbirds flying around.

TeaPartyGal's avatar

That's a sweet family story--just makes me like Spencer Pratt even more. LA would be very lucky to get him as a Mayor.

And if they get Steve Hilton as a Governor, we could perhaps begin to see a Renaissance in California.

Damn the torpedoes's avatar

After all, Spencer’s campaign tagline is “LA is worth saving!”

Steve Boggs's avatar

On time and under budget. My money’s on that being true of the midterms too.

Shrugged's avatar

That's good, but my hope for the midterms is 'one day and in-person only'.

tj's avatar

Amen. Please. I loved that VA tried to convince a judge that voting for 6-weeks was actually a one day event. That was priceless and the judge smacked them hard for it.

steph_gray's avatar

Well - maybe in 2030. In fact, quite likely then if we win this time.

Jake's avatar

Now do New York. Can New Yorkers please elect a Mayor who is not a socialist/communist. When will they learn that communism/socialism is dead? Asking for a friend.....

steph_gray's avatar

I think CommiDami will probably teach them in the end to run screaming from that ideology.

tj's avatar

I hope so but there are a lot of 'immigrants' that actually voted to put him in office. I am not sure the problem will go away. That and the young and stupid who wanted free stuff.

steph_gray's avatar

Well... NYC is a lab experiment now for the rest of us.

tj's avatar

I figure we will end up walling NYC off like in 'Escape from NY'.

Damn the torpedoes's avatar

Giving the illegals the vote in city elections, like motor voter, bleeds over into state/federal elections, as all these blue cities use the same voting lists. Designed by Massachusetts democrats, naturally, and endorsed by Clinton. They think we’re all stupid, and we are for letting that happen. Giving licenses to illegals—the beginning of the end.

tj's avatar

NY followed right along. Although I think in the post election report they were talking about naturalized immigrants. A lot of people in the last 20 plus years have legally immigrated but did not assimilate like the prior generations. If you come here wanting to change our American culture to more like your home country, you should just stay IN your own country.

The criminals roaming Union Station was bad, the ones roaming the Capital Building are far worse.

I am soo glad I had put my drink down (too late in the evening for coffee).

donald b welch's avatar

spending more time with her family? i'm sure it's too late for that. the formative years are essential. america is paying a dear price for ignoring its children so that women can 'fulfill' their destinies for the advancement of the human genome. the deleterious effect and destruction being caused is beyond the pale. civilization sits in its pan of water as the world burns. 70,000,000 and counting.

Playswithneedles's avatar

Nailed it. Meanwhile, third-worlders, especially Muslims, are breeding like rabbits.

Demographics will get us in the end.

donald b welch's avatar

everything always comes down to the math and demographics plays with needles. basically, civilization is slowly wilting away.

agree about muslims. also, sub-saharan african women lead the world in not one but two catagories. lowest iq and highest birthrates. now there's a business plan.

Playswithneedles's avatar

Scary as shit. I’m glad that I’m old but I fear for my grandkids.

donald b welch's avatar

i'm 78 and totally agree with you. what a way to advance the human genome.

Douglas Baringer's avatar

I have visited the Nation's Capitol twice. The first time was in 1987 and it'll be a fond memory forever. The second time was in 2010. The heart had been torn out of a once beautiful city. The people wandering about with that vacant look in their eyes and all the trash strewn about was heartbreaking. I only spent 3 days there, and other than the museums, that was too long.

DDB

Jeremy R's avatar

I heard about a guy who visited DC and parked in front of the Capitol. As he was walking away, a cop ran up and said," don't park there, Congress is about to recess for the evening."

The fellow replied, " it's okay, I've got The Club.

CactusMatt32's avatar

I remember my Dad telling me (b4 I was around) when he had joined the Navy for the Korean War and was walking between monuments in the Capital city and a guy gave him a ride telling him the city was not safe to walk around…..somethings seem to never change….

Upon reflection was he being warned about the petty criminals on the streets? criminals in the Capital or City Police?, criminals in the Agencies? criminals in Congress?, or p’haps those in the Executive branch? As the Great Masonic Surveyor might have said, ‘there’s something most foul in that swamp water….let’s drain it & develop it’.

dancingtime's avatar

If in uniform, perhaps that. When I joined the Navy in NYC during Vietnam, it was not safe to be on the streets in uniform.
