Baltimore has been a shithole for decades. It didn’t start with Elijah Cummings, but he certainly hasn’t done anything to help either. Instead of taking lavish congressional vacations, and living in a mansion, Cummings has nothing to say about the USA Today liberal newspaper declaring Baltimore to be most dangerous city in America. That’s pretty impressive when you consider that Baltimore beat out places like St. Louis, Detroit and Chicago, or the drug infested California cities as most dangerous.

Baltimore started going downhill when Nancy Pelosi’s father and brother were mayors of the city.
The collective homicide toll for America’s 50 biggest cities dipped slightly in 2017, a USA TODAY analysis of crime data found.
The FBI won’t publish its annual comprehensive crime report until later this year, but an early review of police department crime data shows that killings decreased by at least 1% in large jurisdictions compared with 2016.
The modest decrease in killings comes after FBI data showed back-to-back years in which homicides rose sharply in large cities. (Homicides in cities with 250,000 or more residents rose by about 15.2% from 2014 to 2015, and 8.2% from 2015 to 2016.)
There were 5,738 homicides in the nation’s 50 biggest cities in 2017 compared with 5,863 homicides in 2016, a roughly 2.3% reduction.
