Agenda47: President Trump Announces Plan to End Crime and Restore Law and Order (rumble.com) “Ideologues running deep blue cities have encouraged crime by reducing or even eliminating the penalties for bad behavior. Democrat legislators blocked confirmation of a judge whose only offense is he believes in enforcing the law.” – Sarah Huckabee Sanders Dems have said many times loud and clear the reason most people in prison are blacks is because the penal system is racist, it is purposely convicting more blacks than whites.
