In some cities in the United States, the murder rate has dropped, but Chicago isn't one of them.

FNC is currently showing a special on Chicago.

Most big US cities have done exactly that  ... most  big cities are run by  only by Demoncrat for between 50 and 80 years, all by  Demoncrats (the actual problem is agenda, not race)  ..... seems voters in cities are slow learners cause ain't nothin changed in any of the cities except for change the worse

Everything run from Canberra, Ottawa or Washington?



Is that really possible in big countries.

Of course?



Why not?
