As the first Trump-Harris presidential debate is just around the corner, there’s no better time to ask: What is really happening in Philadelphia? And, more importantly, who’s to blame for the city’s shocking crime rates? You don’t need to be a rocket scientist to figure out that under Democrat control, things have only gotten worse.

Let’s take a step back and look at the facts. Philadelphia’s year-to-year homicide rates jumped to a 16-year high in 2022 with 562 murders on the books. Sure, officials want you to believe that things are “getting better” because last year’s numbers were down to 410. But, isn’t it strange that in just three years, over 1,500 people lost their lives? All this while Kamala Harris and other so-called “progressive” leaders push for policies that seem to protect criminals more than ordinary folks. Now, Harris isn’t the mayor of Philadelphia, but don’t be fooled – her record as California’s Attorney General and her support of bail funds that let criminals walk free has inspired left-wing district attorneys like Philadelphia’s Larry Krasner.

Progressive Policies = Rising Chaos

Ain’t it obvious that these progressive policies are turning our cities into war zones? Under Krasner’s leadership, violent crime hit record highs. Philadelphia is still one of the most dangerous cities in America, even if the homicide rates dropped a little. What’s the trick here? The city’s authorities might say numbers are down, but look at this: more than six police officers have been shot already this year, double last year’s number. And now, they’re asking the public to help catch a 10-year-old carjacker! You can’t make this stuff up, folks.

Harris and her team like to talk about addressing the “root causes” of violence, but they always fail to mention one big fact: soft on crime policies don’t work. Progressive prosecutors, hand-in-hand with Harris, let criminals out on bail only to see them commit more violent crimes. How many more people need to suffer before we see real action against this chaos?

Trump: The Law-and-Order Candidate We Need

Now, let’s be real. When former President Trump says he’s the law-and-order candidate, he means business. During his time in office, we saw how he took a hard stance against crime, pushing back against violent protests, and even calling out cities like Philadelphia for their failure to keep their citizens safe. Trump’s policies would ensure that offenders are held accountable, unlike Harris’ policies that allow criminals back on the street to terrorize innocent people.

Harris might talk tough about being a former top cop, but her record shows the exact opposite. She has publicly supported bail funds, including one that released suspects who went on to commit murder. What kind of justice is that?

It’s Not Just Crime – It’s a Strategy

Now, some of you might be thinking, why would Harris and the Democrats let this happen? Here’s a thought: it’s not a mistake. The Democrats are using crime as a strategy. The more chaos there is in the streets, the more power they can grab in Washington. By pushing a progressive agenda, they aim to break down law enforcement and bring in policies that disarm law-abiding citizens while giving criminals a free pass.

If this keeps up, we could see more cities following Philadelphia’s lead. Imagine New York, Chicago, or even your hometown becoming the next “Murder Town USA.” Is that what you want? We need a leader who won’t shy away from calling it what it is and putting America back on track.

What Now?

It’s simple, folks. The choice this November couldn’t be clearer: Trump stands for law and order, while Harris and her allies stand for lawlessness. When you see the crime reports from Philadelphia, ask yourself: Is this the future I want for my city?

We need a leader who will take charge and stop this madness before it spreads. We need Trump to restore safety in our streets and bring real justice back to America.
