Despite Gov. Wes Moore’s continual, nonstop, disingenuous insistence that Maryland has had the fastest drops of violent crime anywhere in the United States, it does not negate the fact that Maryland is the third most dangerous city in our country! So, yes, this state needs the National Guard and any other help we can get to protect the citizens of Maryland!

If Baltimore City wants to see increased residents and more interest in traveling to the city, then they best listen to President Donald Trump and not our disinterested governor who has his eyes only on the White House and nothing else!
