How Democrats Ruined Milwaukee

Click here: In riot-torn Milwaukee, Donald Trump pointed out a very blunt and irrefutable truth: “The Democratic Party has run nearly every inner city in this country for 50 years, and run them into … ruin,” with “crime policies, education policies, and economic policies [that] have produced only more crime, more broken homes, and more poverty.” And indeed, wherever we look—Atlanta, Camden, Newark, St. Louis, Chicago, Flint, Detroit, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington—we see one-party cities that are crumbling testaments to the awesome power of bad ideas. Specifically, Trump referenced “the situation right here in Milwaukee, a city run by Democrats for decade after decade,” citing its high rates of homicide, joblessness, poverty, and educational failure.

Media Hides Hillary Clinton’s Second Amendment Stand

Click here: The media might not like to admit it and does it’s best to cover for her, but Hillary’s War on Guns is real. If Hillary wins in November, she will appoint Scalia’s successor and the Supreme Court will overturn the Heller and McDonald decisions.  Make no mistake about it, the government will again be able to ban guns. Her claim that she isn’t “looking to take people’s guns away” is not consistent with her promise to overturn existing Supreme Court decisions.
