Bill O'Reilly here and I'm warming up. Stand by for the O'Reilly Update Morning Edition, but first. On this Friday, lost in the anti-Fox media hysteria was a measured statement about the homeless situation put out by former President Donald Trump. Essentially, Mr. Trump believes that unsheltered folks have no right to intrude on other Americans by camping in the streets, sidewalks, and parks. He goes on to say that local authorities should remove the tent cities but offer mental help in the process. Trump also says many of the homeless are substance abusers who do not want treatment.

Donald Trump is correct in his assessment, but he might add one other measure which would stop the terrible homeless situation cold. Every American city in town should pass an ordinance that forbids camping in public areas. If the local municipalities refuse, they would not receive federal funding. Simple, effective. Then, if homeless people disobey the camping law, they would be arrested and detained for mental evaluation. That would be the worst thing that could happen to addicts as they would be cut off from their supply of narcotics and alcohol while in detention. Face without reality, squalid camps would rapidly disappear. So, there is this allusion to the vexing homeless intrusion. I have to give some credit to Donald Trump.

At least he's thinking about the social problems we have in this country. Is President Biden doing that? Not that I can detect. Back after this. Power, politics, and the people behind the headlines.
