Comments:

Squeegee "workers" at intersections in Baltimore has been a problem for decades. Cars have been vandalized for not the driver not "paying" for the service. This happened in the afternoon, near the Stadium and Inner Harbor - the tourist area.

Blocking traffic and jay walking to beg for money should be illegal. Part of the broken windows solution to make cities safe and livable.

I recall that one of the very first things NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani did was to ban the squeegee men, and it worked. So, why doesn't some wise historian compose "The Big Book of Laws That Work," in order that other mayors can consult? Baltimore should make these squeegee thugs disappear and stop their street-tax, windshield-extortion scheme in its tracks... but don't hold your breath.

“Squeegee workers.” That’s like trying to dignify Hunter Biden by dressing him in a business suit and giving him a front row seat at the Medal of Freedom Ceremony.

FTA: "It’s unclear how many shots were fired, but witnesses said they heard three rounds. Just hours earlier, Harrison said police confiscated a pellet gun from a squeegee worker at the same intersection, the Baltimore Sun reported. No arrests have been made in the fatal shooting and is an active investigation, a police spokeswoman told The Post." This is Maryland, so I'm sure the shooter (and it wasn't a pellet gun used) had a concealed carry license. Snitches get stitches...should be Baltimore's city motto.

They’re a nuisance at the Tijuana border crossing. At least they back off if you say “No” in Spanish. Generally, they’re more polite than our American version. They don’t bend your wipers.

Some intersections have squeegee kids. Some as young as seven or eight. They're so small, they can't even reach most of the windshield. Getting out of your car to confront the adults that man the busier intersections is just plain stupid. This type of stuff is exactly why the Orioles aren't drawing more people to the stadium despite playing much better baseball than they have over the last ten years. It's also why the BSO has had to cancel ten concerts because the Meyerhoff where the BSO plays is in a not-so-great area. Attendance has been down about 60%. The inner harbor area which used to be a tourist area is falling off as well. All of this is the result of an Obozo minded DA whose main goal in office was to tie the hands of police to do their job. The results speak for themselves. 300+ murders every year for I think it's approaching ten years in a row. They're shooting for 400 murders this year.

The shooter here was not a “worker” he is an ignorant irresponsible violent criminal and no doubt his gun was an illegal firearm under the current gun control laws. Until that attitude is taken by the leftist, progressive, and socialist Democrats who run those inner-city “communities” the out of control lawlessness will only get worse.

Rhode Island may be the smallest of the fifty states, but apparently, it has plenty of room for race-baiting, attention-seeking, hedonistic morons like our knucklehead of the week. In the Ocean State’s legislature, a first-term senator named Tiara Mack managed to summarize much of what plagues America and our culture with one ill-advised social media posting and her subsequent counterattack against outraged critics.

A female US Army soldier took to TikTok to question her loyalty to the United States after the Supreme Court's reversal of Roe v. Wade. "How am I supposed to wake up every day and put on a freaking uniform that says United States Army when the United States doesn't even give a rat's ass about me," the soldier said. In 2019, the Army advised soldiers not to use TikTok on government-owned phones, citing national security risks from the Chinese app. China-based employees also have access to US user data.

An MSNBC guest reverend vocal about her disagreement with the recent Supreme Court overturning of Roe v. Wade said Friday on "Morning Joe" that abortion is not a "biblical topic." During a conversation with faith leaders supportive of abortion rights, co-host Mika Brzezinski asked Reverend Dr. Selene Jones about the SCOTUS decision and whether the Bible is being used "incorrectly" to curb abortion access. Jones, who also serves as the president of the Union Theological Seminary, told Brzezinski that abortion is "not a biblical topic" and claimed there are only "one or two" biblical references to abortion that undoubtedly prioritize the "life and agency" of the mother over a fetus.

The Army suspended a three-star general after he appeared to make fun of First Lady Jill Biden. Retired lieutenant general Gary Volesky, a former spokesman for the Army, responded to a tweet from Biden about the Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade, in which the First Lady remarked that women’s rights had been “stolen.” Biden tweeted that “for nearly 50 years, women have had the right to make our own decisions about our bodies. Today, that right was stolen from us.” Volesky responded, “Glad to see you finally know what a woman is.”
