The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

If we’ve learned anything in recent weeks, it’s that President Trump has no intention of limiting his use of military power to Washington, D.C. The president is now openly talking about sending the National Guard into Chicago and, after that, possibly New York City. These aren’t just trial balloons. They’re warning signs of how far he’s willing to go in expanding executive authority under the guise of “public safety.”

“Nine Days, Zero Murders: Trump’s D.C. Crackdown Delivers Results”

“As of this week, Washington, D.C. has now gone nine consecutive days without a single murder — a striking and rare milestone in a city long plagued by violent crime. While the left-wing media hesitates to give credit where it's due, the facts are clear. This sudden drop in violence follows directly on the heels of President Donald Trump's decisive federal crackdown on crime in the nation’s capital.

Since the crackdown began, arrests have surged. Hundreds of criminals, including repeat offenders and undocumented individuals with lengthy records, have been taken off the streets. Violent crime has dropped dramatically. Carjackings, robberies, and assaults are down. And for over a week now, not a single person has been murdered in a city that has too often accepted daily violence as the norm.

This outcome is not a coincidence. It is what happens when leadership stops making excuses and starts enforcing the law. For years, progressive policies and soft-on-crime prosecutors have turned a blind eye to criminal behavior, emboldening gangs and repeat offenders while everyday citizens suffered. The Trump administration’s willingness to step in and do what local leaders refused to do has made an immediate difference.”

The move drew predictable outrage from liberal politicians and legacy media outlets, who clutched their pearls over “federal overreach" and claimed it as an attack on black people. However, D.C. residents, who have been afraid to step foot outside their homes for years, welcomed the return of visible law enforcement and a renewed sense of order.”

Take Note! This article is from a RIGHT LEANING BLOG. Don’t be distracted by the left saying it is all lies. THE LEFT CAN’T HANDLE THE TRUTH

Onward to Chicago and New York City to the dismay of democrats and the Left.
