Joe Biden went to Kenosha Wisconsin today. The trip must have polled extremely well, otherwise his handlers would have never allowed it. Needless to say, Joe looked foolish at best.

President Trump signed a memorandum today that takes aim at implementing accountability measures for local politicians in cities facing violent unrest. 

From the memorandum:

The Federal Government provides States and localities with hundreds of billions of dollars every year, which fund a wide array of programs, such as housing, public transportation, job training, and social services.  These funds have been collected from American taxpayers who entrusted their money to the Federal Government to serve our communities and our citizens.

My Administration will not allow Federal tax dollars to fund cities that allow themselves to deteriorate into lawless zones.  To ensure that Federal funds are neither unduly wasted nor spent in a manner that directly violates our Government’s promise to protect life, liberty, and property, it is imperative that the Federal Government review the use of Federal funds by jurisdictions that permit anarchy, violence, and destruction in America’s cities.  It is also critical to ensure that Federal grants are used effectively, to safeguard taxpayer dollars entrusted to the Federal Government for the benefit of the American people.

I don’t know how many of you are sports bettors, so perhaps a little explainer is in order for this item. For prop bets like these, the positive number indicates the underdog, the negative the favorite. It also indicates how much you win, in the case of the under dog, when you bet $100. For the favorite, it will cost you that number to win $100.
