President Trump Invokes Gun Violence In Chicago As He Attacks Joe Biden On Issue Of ‘Law And Order’ In First 2020 Presidential Debate

CLEVELAND (CBS) — President Donald Trump invoked shootings in Chicago as he attacked Democratic rival Joe Biden on the issue of law and order in the first 2020 presidential debate Tuesday night.

Moderator Chris Wallace of Fox News – a former CBS 2 reporter – asked a question about the rise in homicides in America and President Trump laying the blame on Democratic governors and mayors. Wallace noted that there have been equivalent spikes in Republican-led cities such as Tulsa and Fort Worth.

President Trump replied, “I think it’s a party issue.”

“If you look at Chicago, what’s going on in Chicago, where 53 people were shot and eight died,” President Trump said. Those figures do reflect the gun violence numbers reported by Chicago Police this past weekend.

He also mentioned New York City, where he claimed violent crime had risen “150, 200 percent.”

“It’s crazy what’s going on, and he doesn’t want to say ‘law and order,’ and he can’t, because he’ll lose his radical left supporters, and then it’s all over,” President Trump said of Biden.

Mr. Trump went on to say if Biden were elected, “the suburbs would be gone.”

Biden replied, “You wouldn’t know a suburb unless you took a wrong turn,” and, “this is not 1950.” The former vice president noted that he himself grew up in the suburbs, and in the present day, the suburbs are places where people drive kids of multiple races and ethnicities to soccer practices all together in one car.

Biden also said he is opposed to calls for defunding police departments, and said President Trump had actually accomplished such a thing himself by cutting federal budgets to law enforcement.

Volunteers book hotel room for homeless man with SingapoRediscovers vouchers

NewsColony Volunteers book hotel room for homeless man with SingapoRediscovers vouchers © The Independent Singapore Singapore — A group of volunteers from the Mummy Yummy Singapore welfare organisation donated their SingapoRediscovers Vouchers to book a hotel room for a homeless man. The man, who was identified as Jayden, did not have a place to live while waiting for the Housing Board (HDB) to allocate him a rental flat. In a Facebook post on Mummy Yummy Singapore’s page on Wednesday (Dec 16), the volunteers said: “We used our $100 Rediscover Singapore vouchers to redeem hotel stay for him and successfully booked 9 days worth of stay at 3 days per voucher.” They added that they were unable to book a longer stay because of higher hotel rates over Christmas and New Year. The volunteers hoped that they would be able to bridge Jayden’s stay until he got a flat. “Thanks our government for giving us these vouchers which in return we can put them to good use for people in need,” th...

Disabled people are still vulnerable, even as COVID-19 normalizes their ‘special’ needs

Disabled people are still vulnerable, even as COVID-19 normalizes their ‘special’ needs NewsColony Perhaps it’s appropriate that public notices of the COVID-19 crisis began as an ableist cruelty. Health officials assured the nation that only the elderly and those with chronic health conditions would be seriously affected; most Americans (i.e., the normal people) would have only mild symptoms and be fine. x A friendly reminder: people who will be high-risk patients if we get coronavirus can hear you when you reassure everyone we’re the only ones who might die. — Alexandra Brodsky (@azbrodsky) February 29, 2020 Soon after the announcement of those assurances, the likelihood of high-risk people surviving was further limited by the people more likely to be fine. Shopping frenzies cleared stores of essential supplies needed everyday by many disabled people, like thermometers, hand wipes, masks, and IV infusion supplies. Accustomed to their needs ...
