At the time, the administration of the city was handled by the federal government. There was limited home rule off and on, usually with the city losing that control due to incompetence or corruption. Finally, in 1973, Congress passed the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/District_of_Columbia_Home_Rule_Act\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">District of Columbia Home Rule Act<\/a> which set up Washington more or less like any other city. (Congress does still have significant control when the city goes to far)<\/p>\n<p>Since then the city has been run like any other Democrat run city. By and large, it\u2019s a cesspool with out of control crime, incompetent mayors and city councilors with some areas virtual free fire zones between criminal gangs. Finally, after several murders and one of the DOGE people being badly beaten, President Trump said \u201cENOUGH!\u201d and has federalized the Washington Metro Police under Section 740 of the DC Home Rule Act.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.pinimg.com\/736x\/54\/6f\/1b\/546f1b787caf73c861b2f682c9559931.jpg?resize=480%2C299&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"480\" height=\"299\" \/><\/p>\n<p>With that takeover along with hundreds of National Guard troops along with hundreds of Federal Agents, actual law enforcement has begun with dozens of arrests of really bad criminals every day.

Apparently, if an officer made a mistake years ago and has done nothing wrong since then, it may have been a one off issue that was corrected. Under this law, that officer is out.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s stupidity like this that has turned Washington D.C. into the hellhole it has become. Add to that, it\u2019s almost impossible for an honest citizen to have the means to defend themselves, their families or their neighbors. What President Trump is doing, while good, is a stopgap measure. It looks like the only way to fix Washington is to end the failed home rule experiment. At least the people in Washington are seeing who actually care about them and it certainly isn\u2019t the Democrat Party.<\/p>\n<p>Thatisall<\/p>\n<span id=\"post-ratings-45552\" class=\"post-ratings\" data-nonce=\"39f4dceecb\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"rating_45552_1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/stars_crystal\/rating_on.gif?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"1 Star\" title=\"1 Star\" onmouseover=\"current_rating(45552, 1, '1 Star');\" onmouseout=\"ratings_off(5, 0, 0);\" onclick=\"rate_post();\" onkeypress=\"rate_post();\" style=\"cursor: pointer; border: 0px;\" \/><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"rating_45552_2\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/stars_crystal\/rating_on.gif?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"2 Stars\" title=\"2 Stars\" onmouseover=\"current_rating(45552, 2, '2 Stars');\" onmouseout=\"ratings_off(5, 0, 0);\" onclick=\"rate_post();\" onkeypress=\"rate_post();\" style=\"cursor: pointer; border: 0px;\" \/><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"rating_45552_3\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/stars_crystal\/rating_on.gif?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"3 Stars\" title=\"3 Stars\" onmouseover=\"current_rating(45552, 3, '3 Stars');\" onmouseout=\"ratings_off(5, 0, 0);\" onclick=\"rate_post();\" onkeypress=\"rate_post();\" style=\"cursor: pointer; border: 0px;\" \/><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"rating_45552_4\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/stars_crystal\/rating_on.gif?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"4 Stars\" title=\"4 Stars\" onmouseover=\"current_rating(45552, 4, '4 Stars');\" onmouseout=\"ratings_off(5, 0, 0);\" onclick=\"rate_post();\" onkeypress=\"rate_post();\" style=\"cursor: pointer; border: 0px;\" \/><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"rating_45552_5\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/stars_crystal\/rating_on.gif?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"5 Stars\" title=\"5 Stars\" onmouseover=\"current_rating(45552, 5, '5 Stars');\" onmouseout=\"ratings_off(5, 0, 0);\" onclick=\"rate_post();\" onkeypress=\"rate_post();\" style=\"cursor: pointer; border: 0px;\" \/> (<strong>3<\/strong> votes, average: <strong>5.00<\/strong> out of 5)<br \/><span class=\"post-ratings-text\" id=\"ratings_45552_text\"><\/span><\/span><span id=\"post-ratings-45552-loading\" class=\"post-ratings-loading\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/loading.gif?resize=16%2C16&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" class=\"post-ratings-image\" \/>Loading...<\/span>\n<p><i><b>~The Angry Webmaster~<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Good day all.
