Are you starting to get the picture? Those crises are repeated, time after time after time, in almost every major city and state in the USA with a left-wing, progressive administration.

Health care, where city hospitals' emergency rooms are overwhelmed with drug-seekers and psychological or psychiatric basket-cases - so much so that they're forced to raise charges on the rest of us by ten to a hundred times, in order to pay for the care of itinerants who don't have a penny to their name.Įven a cursory Internet search will reveal incident after incident illustrating those realities.

City education departments that automatically pass students to the next grade, year after year after year, when they're functionally illiterate and unable to add so much as the change in their pockets to give you a total.

Deliberately dysfunctional laws such as New York's catch-and-release policy, turning sometimes violent offenders loose without so much as bail on the grounds that anything else would be 'unfair' or 'racist'.

Catastrophic financial maladministration, resulting in pension plans that aren't fully funded, budgets that are inadequate, taxes that are exorbitantly high, and spending skewed towards politically correct causes rather than the real needs of the people.

Institutionalized corruption in city administrations, where to get anything done it's not so much what you know as who you know - and how much you pay them under the counter.

Urban blight and decay in many Rust Belt and East Coast cities like Detroit, Cleveland, Philadelphia, New Orleans, and so on.

The homelessness crisis (and all its associated evils) in many West Coast cities.

I'm more and more convinced that the loony left is actually planning this, as a way to make the citizens of those cities more and more dependent on their (ineffectual) governments just to survive the dystopia in which they live.Ĭonsider Tucker Carlson's scathing criticism of San Francisco (which visitors to that city, people I know and trust, tell me is entirely justified). So many of them exhibit precisely the same signs of decay and incipient social collapse that I'm beginning to think it can't be coincidental, or even accidental. It's particularly visible in urban areas. I find myself repeating that saying when I consider the catastrophic results of liberal, left-wing, progressive government in so many US cities and states, particularly in the so-called Rust Belt and on the East and West Coasts. Instead, someone's out to get you, and you need to do something serious about them before they do. Basically, it means that if the same thing happens, with similar results, too many times, it's not accidental or coincidental.

I've seen similar sentiments expressed in eighteenth-century writings. 'Once is happenstance twice is coincidence three or more times is enemy action.' It's often attributed to Ian Fleming, from his James Bond novel 'Goldfinger', but it's far older than that. There's an old military saying that you've seen in these pages before.
