CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY AUGUST 25, 2025
THERE HASN’T BEEN A MURDER IN WASHINGTON, D.C. IN MORE THAN A WEEK. THAT MAY BE A RECORD. THAT’S LARGELY BECAUSE PRESIDENT TRUMP ORDERED NATIONAL GUARD TROOPS INTO HIGH CRIME AREAS OF THE CITY TO CATCH CRIMINALS AND MAKE NEIGHBORHOODS, ESPECIALLY BLACK NEIGHBORHOODS, SAFE AGAIN.
PREDICTABLY, POLITICIANS AND DEMONSTRATORS WHO HATE TRUMP OPPOSE THIS MOVE. IT APPEARS THEY MOSTLY LIVE IN SAFE NEIGHBORHOODS OR HAVE ARMED SECURITY. THE MAJOR MEDIA NEVER ASK RELATIVES OF CRIME VICTIMS IF THEY APPRECIATE THE NEW SECURITY.
PEOPLE ARE STARTING TO EAT OUT AGAIN AFTER INCIDENTS OF GANGS AND THUGS INVADING RESTAURANTS. WE ARE HEARING THAT CRIME STATISTICS WERE CHANGED OR SUPPRESSED IN ORDER TO CLAIM CRIME IS DOWN IN WASHINGTON. IT’S THE SAME IN OTHER BIG CITIES RUN BY DEMOCRATS.
I DON’T LIKE FEDERAL TROOPS IN THE STREETS, BUT IF THE POLICE ARE OVERWHELEMED AND PEOPLE ARE BEING KILLED, INJURED, OR HAVING THEIR PROPERTY STOLEN, IT MAY BE A GOOD TEMPORARY MEASURE. THE PROBLEM IS WHEN THE TROOPS LEAVE AND CRIME RETURNS. THERE NEEDS TO BE A FUNDAMENTAL RE-STRUCTURING OUR CULTURE, BEGINNING WITH SCHOOL CHOICE, FATHERS IN THE HOME, FAITH IN AND THE FEAR OF GOD. I’M CAL THOMAS.
