Michael Snyder (Opinion)- From coast to coast, major U.S. cities are being transformed into war zones, and our politicians seem powerless to stop the carnage.

In city after city there were enormous increases, and as I have detailed previously, murder rates have continued to go up all over the country in 2021.
