All major gun violence, crime, low education, and poverty all happen in democrat run areas. Additionally main stream media as well as all colleges are ran by Democrats. So you get a skewed perspective. Additionally big cities, like New York City and Los Angeles are majority democrat cities. When you go to nine out of 10 towns in the United States, they’re all conservative red states, where people believe in this country and what it was founded on.

Put it this way, if Theo had it in is heart to do this 5 nights a wk, he’d have over 1Million subscribers more, within a year ... and likely get “a deal”. But, hey, Theo’s a bit of a wandering man .. so I just cherish our weekly, “This Past Weekend”, and am so appreciative because Theo is always using his TPW time, each week, to DO GOOD, FOR GOOD&FOR WHERE THERE’s A NEED.

    Just the infrastructure from having to build the wall alone helps the border patrol in ways I never thought of before. Good roads, power, internet, the strength of the boarder patrol improved drastically. This guy was so understandable and refreshing from what we see every day in the media.

      And while it is being built, all of the construction workers milling around the area would be a deterrent. Interview someone hired to build the wall.
