When we turn on the news or open the paper, we read about stores being raided by hoodlums in broad daylight, uncontrolled homelessness and trash in city streets, human tragedies at the border, looting, drug overdosing and general lawlessness—all out of control and getting worse—month after month, year after year, while our president has only praise for the state of the union. 
Where are our elected leaders, the council members, legislators, Congress members, senators, governors? Some of them do speak up once in a while, and often forcefully, but still nothing significant happens. Is Pelosi, for instance, happy with what happens in her district in San Francisco? She must be, as I understand she is seeking reelection.
