Blue cities = needles, poop and homicide victims

Henninger's column today on the Dems current "fitness for office" talking point is pure brilliance.

Money quote:

Governance matters. Success at governance—running a country, state or city—should indeed be a measure of political fitness. If so, fitness to govern looks to be in short supply in potholed New York City, homicidal Chicago, needle-park San Francisco and Baltimore, with its five police chiefs in the past five years.
All these cities, protectorates of Democratic governance, are filled with upscale progressives convinced Donald Trump is morally unfit to govern, even as they step around and over the mentally ill homeless lying abandoned on their sidewalks.

  1. Speaking of Baltimore,

    On Thursday, FBI agents and IRS investigators executed court-authorized search warrants at the Baltimore mayor's City Hall office and personal residences. The investigation comes after Pugh's Healthy Holly book deals came under scrutiny earlier this month.

  2. My last trip to San Francisco, we made the mistake of walking to the tram station from our hotel. The dirt was astounding, the homeless numerous and the once beautiful city just awful. I used to take my (then) little boys to go see the sea lions, boat out to Alcatraz, walk across the Golden Gate Bridge. No more. I won't even pay the toll to cross the bridge in that direction. Awful, awful, awful.
