You hear the stories every day maybe even see the truth outside your window: America s inner cities are falling apart.
The hearts of many of our cities have become decaying centers of poverty and crime where residents are afraid to walk the streets of their own neighborhoods. The situation is getting worse every day despite the billions of taxpayer dollars Washington bureaucrats spend each year on solutions.
But there is hope. Finally, a small group of lawmakers in Congress has figured out what most Americans have known all along: The solutions to our inner-city problems have to come from the churches, homes, charitable organizations and neighborhoods of America.

Elaine Flake might have become the woman pastor with the largest congregation in the United States after being appointed lead pastor of the more than 23,000-member Greater Allen Cathedral of New York at 72 on Sunday.
She is taking over the position formerly held by her husband, the Rev. Floyd Flake, 76, who also spent 11 years in Congress fighting to improve life for constituents in his church community in Jamaica, Queens.
The announcement was made during the 199th Session of the New York Annual Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church by Bishop Gregory G. M. Ingram, who told Elaine Flake that âitâs a lot of work on you with your family.â

KEN: Nikki Haley. She s regarded as the frontrunner of the 2024 GOP presidential contenders, okay? Now, I go back and forth. I was a huge Nikki Haley fan, but I do go back and forth a little bit because, you know, there s kind of an ebb and flow of her support and/or relationship with President Trump. But, anyway, earlier this week she answered a question: Would you put your name in the running if President Trump chose to run again? and she said, No, I would not run, reinforcing the notion that she believes it s still President Trump s party and her chances of running and winning are greatly diminished if Trump chooses to run. Here s what Rush had to say about Nikki.
