It is a festering wasteland of liberalism, which is the same thing to the Right. Cities with the most murders? [San Francisco did not break the top 20](https://worldpopulationreview.com/us-city-rankings/cities-with-most-murders) St Louis is number 1. 2 cities in Ohio made the list. Go Buckeyes! [This rag says](https://sfstandard.com/2023/12/28/crime-rate-san-francisco-2023-property-crime-car-thefts/) > The data revealed a slight uptick in violent crime—driven by a rise in robberies—while most property crimes dropped. Meanwhile, the city saw growing motor vehicle thefts, logging its sixth straight year with an increase. But there has been a large increase in patchouli stink. Fucking hippies.

Anyone talking about the wasteland of lawlessness in Missouri? ## **15 Most Dangerous Cities in the US** 1. St. Louis, Missouri 2. Birmingham, Alabama 3. Baltimore, Maryland 4. Memphis, Tennessee 5.

According to Fox ‘News’ I live in a city that was burned to the ground back in 2020. Surprisingly good food delivery service amongst the cinders. ---

Have you guys heard the latest on Roger (ick) Stone? He wanted to kill Eric Swalwell and Jerry Nadler. > **[Exclusive: Roger Stone Spoke With Cop Pal About Assassinating Eric Swalwell...](https://www.mediaite.com/politics/exclusive-roger-stone-spoke-with-cop-pal-about-assassinating-eric-swalwell-and-jerry-nadler/)** > > "Either Nadler or Swalwell has to die before the election. They need to get the message. Let’s go find Swalwell and get this over with." From the article: “It’s time to do it,” Stone told Greco. “Let’s go find Swalwell. It’s time to do it. Then we’ll see how brave the rest of them are. It’s time to do it. It’s either Nadler or Swalwell has to die before the election. They need to get the message. Let’s go find Swalwell and get this over with. I’m just not putting up with this shit anymore.” He’s an evil little shit. ---

Man, it’s too bad there wasn’t a cop present, or anything. I’m sure that if there were, he would have arrested Stone on the spot. Wait, what’s that you say? Never mind. ---

The purpose of the bussing isn’t to get the migrants out of the state, the purpose is to cause pain the the migrants and the cities they are sent to. Telling non profits when to expect them so they can be prepared ruins the whole point. ---

> [@Irishman](#): > > Greco’s response to requests for comment: “I’m sure your readers aren’t interested in ancient political fodder.” Interesting, though, that he didn’t flat out deny it, as Stone did with his nonsense about AI.
