Gill: "You think Baltimore is a safe city?" Franklin: "Of course it is." Gill: "Okay. Do you know what the homicide rate is in Baltimore?" Franklin: "Exactly, no." Gill: "It's about 35 per 100,000. Do you know what the homicide rate is in the rest of the United States?" Franklin: "No, I don't." Gill: "I can tell you that the homicide rate in Baltimore is about five times the national average. Do you know how Baltimore's robbery rate compares to the rest of the United States?" Franklin: "At the moment, no, I don't." Gill: "It's about 8.4 times the national average. Do you know how Baltimore's assault rate compares to the national average?" Franklin: "No, I don't." Gill: "It's about 3.4 times higher. Does that sound like a safe city to you?" Franklin: "Safe to me and my family members." Gill: "So that's safe to you? Five times higher than the national average for homicides. That's a safe city?"🏙️
These people are all insane!
I HAVE GOOD NEWS FOR ONCE!!!
The Charlotte NC high school that painted over a student's tribute to Charlie Kirk, called the police on her, and then publicly branded the 16-year-old girl a VANDAL in front of her entire school...
...has just been forced to pay her $95,000!!!!!!
Her name is Gabby Stout, she was a junior at Ardrey Kell High School.
Days after Charlie Kirk was assass*nated, she got PERMISSION from the front office to paint the school's spirit rock, a tradition kids have used for years.
She painted a heart. An American flag. "Freedom 1776." And "Live Like Kirk ... John 11:25."
Within HOURS, the school painted over it.
Then the principal emailed the ENTIRE school calling it VANDALISM, claiming she broke the code of conduct, and announcing they had called LAW ENFORCEMENT to open a criminal investigation.
They pulled this teenage girl out of class again and again and then MADE HER WRITE A CONFESSION!!!!
They demanded her PHONE so they could search her call logs.
For painting a rock. With permission.
So her family sued. And they WON.
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools now has to pay $95,000, publicly clear her name, and admit in writing she did NOTHING wrong.
But not only that... they were forced to adopt a brand new student free speech policy because of her.
THIS is how you fight back.
GOD BLESS GABBY STOUT!!!!!!
@NikkiFried Your net worth from Florida financial disclosures:
* 6/18/18: $271,613 during campaign
* 6/24/19: $1,401,563 after taking office
As AG Commissioner you oversaw cannabis regulations while being heavily invested in cannabis. How did you make so much money?
I think the worst thing about being black in America would be that you're required to take the side of any black murderer.
Karmelo Anthony was convicted, and $600k was raised for him.
You are a taker, not a maker. All you’ve done your whole life is take from the makers of the world.
The zero-sum mindset you have is at the root of so much evil. Once you realize that civilization is not zero-sum and that it is about making far more than one consumes, then it becomes obvious that the path to prosperity for all is just let the makers make.
Regarding Tesla, the reality is that I have been given nothing.
However, if I lead Tesla to become the most valuable company in the world by far and it stays that way for 5 years, shareholders voted to award me 12% of what is built. Anyone who wants to come along for the ride can buy Tesla stock.
If Tesla “merely” becomes a $1.999 trillion dollar company, I get nothing. This is a great deal for shareholders, which is why they voted so overwhelmingly to approve this, for which I am immensely grateful.
And they did so by a margin far more than you won your political seat.
I grew up hating white people, and the scary part is that millions of young Black men are being brainwashed into that exact same mindset today.
The education system feeds Black kids a steady diet of historical resentment until their undeveloped brains start picturing every single white person as the enemy.
Blaming the white man for modern community struggles is a trap that keeps people broke and angry.
This clip of Charles Payne during Obama's second term is really incredible. Well done Charles.
In 2010 Obama put the federal government directly in charge of lending money to students. Eliminating private lending made the loans much easier to get, but they were not less expensive.
Before Obama took office, outstanding student debt was less than $100 billion. By 2015, outstanding student debt was approximately $800 billion and almost a third of the borrowers were in default. Of course the price of college continued to soar the entire time.
This is the best part. Payne predicted that someday the politicians would be promising to forgive student debt as a way to buy votes. He was spot on.
There are people like Ro Khanna on this site right now arguing that Elon Musk should be paying down the student debt when it's a problem that politicians created.
@doc_rudman You mention politicians and investigations. Which made it seem like you want to be State to do something. But if all you want is there practices called out or criticized. Mission accomplished. You just did it. Congratulations. Have a good weekend. 👍
@fmch6444@HollyBullardFL According to the City of Tallahassee's own budget workshop. The new homestead law would reduce the city's revenue by 0.93% in 2028. 😂
Yes; less than 1%! The sky is falling when the government can't get more of your money.
People seemed to have forgotten about the innocent American citizens who lost their lives because of Joe Biden's open border immigration policies. There were many, here's a few in this video.
This is what Biden delivered. We would have had a lot more of this if Kamala had won. Democrats will do it again if they get back in the White House in 2028.
@TDOnline Unbelievably dumb article. We need socialism or communism. Got it, thanks! Inequality? We live in the richest country in the history of the world. But some people have more than you. If we move to Communism we could all be poor just like everyone else that's tried it.
It was ALL a lie. The real reason USAID was in Africa
Former African Union Ambassador to the United States, Arikana Chihombori-Quao:
“They're using that open access, sounding humanitarian, to constantly destabilize governments”
“We need to understand the real reason why USAID is in Africa, and not just USAID, but other NGOs They are coming in claiming that they're introducing grassroots initiatives that are going to help the people, and so they use that as a way to go into the most remote parts of Africa. When you look at it on paper, it all looks really good, but they're actually wolf in sheep's clothing.”
“The American taxpayer needs to know the billions of dollars that are being given to USAID. A fraction is making it to the people”
“They're using that open access sounding humanitarian to constantly destabilize governments. I can tell you right now, the majority of African leaders, and not just African leaders, but leaders in the developing world are celebrating the exit of USAID.
If you think about it, their sole purpose, for example, filling in the gaps in healthcare and education, where is the change? Show me one country that USAID was in and education improved. Show me what country where USAID was in and healthcare improved?”
They laundered our money
This isn’t even a conspiracy theory, there are offices White House reports showing the money being sent over “never made it to ground level”
Meaning it’s all stolen before it gets to the people it’s meant to help
@HollyBullardFL It's because most of the people on SNAP don't work. They stay on it for years. So there is no correlation. I've been unemployed. But I have never been on SNAP or applied for it. I went and got another job.

@TDOnline So she publicly stated her indifference to the murder of Charlie Kirk. But you write an entire article and we're supposed to feel bad for her for being fired. What a joke. I guess the whales are indifferent to her also.
@TDOnline Good. She should have been fired. Democrats believe that people with opinions that disagree with them should be murdered. That is what she did. She celebrated him being murdered because he disagreed with her. What kind of person is she?
