It was supposed to happen in 2022, but hey! COVID-19 delayed lots of things!
But seriously, what the 1600 PA spokescritter said was not this. Rather: Leavitt explained that police officers will give the homeless the opportunity to leave the encampment, be taken to a homeless shelter, and be offered addiction or mental health services. “If they refuse, they will be susceptible to fines or to jail time. These are pre-existing laws that are already on the books. They have not been enforced,” the press secretary reiterated.
Assuming she isn’t just using some euphemisms, or playing the same games that Harry Harrison wrote about in “Make Room! Make Room!” (The novel the book was based on.)
But it is not the homeless in DC (or any American city) that are the real threat to the peace, prosperity, and sanity of the community.
The homeless on the streets and sidewalks, under bridges and underpasses, in alleys and doorways and parks and parking lots are the results of the real danger facing American cities. And all of the States.
That real danger can be seen in many forms.
Politicians who don’t care for anything but votes, paychecks, power and wealth.
Voters who can be cozened by those politicians.
A lack of love and caring for one another: not just your family (immediate or extended) but people who need help: not just handouts but people helping them to get over or mitigate their mental illnesses, their hopelessness, and their addictions. Including parents who did not raise up their children in a moral and ethical and loving way.
Which boils down to a lack of personal responsibility. People who want to let “George do it” – and George usually means DC or their Statehouse or City Hall. Which are filled with people who have no personal responsibility. No real love except (maybe) their own families and kind. And who are willing to throw billions of dollars of YOUR money (never their own) to supposedly provide care and love to people who need it.
If The Donald really wants to clean DC up for the 250th birthday of these United States, he’d do a lot better to start cleaning up the politicians, the lawyers, the judges, and the bureaucrats, while explaining to the voters, “you surrendered everything to these people.” (We expect he’d use more colorful language.) Of course, those won’t make good Soylent Green either: polluted minds and bodies and corrupt souls are poison. Maybe we could used them for retaining walls or something.
In other words, as the bogus ad above says, “it’s our people that make the difference.”

As Trump’s troops and cops clean up DC, here is what is happening to the homeless
Or so the Western Journal says.
