Fact Check: City officials acknowledge ongoing issues with homeless trespassing

What We Know

The claim that "City officials acknowledge ongoing issues with homeless trespassing" suggests that local government representatives have recognized and possibly discussed the challenges posed by homelessness and related trespassing incidents. However, the available sources do not provide direct evidence or statements from city officials specifically addressing this claim.

A review of the City of St. Louis official website indicates that the city is actively involved in various community issues, including public safety and emergency management, but does not explicitly mention homeless trespassing. The City Government page outlines the structure and functions of city departments but lacks specific references to homelessness or trespassing issues.

Additionally, a document from the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit discusses trespass ordinances in a general context but does not provide information about city officials' acknowledgment of homelessness-related trespassing.

Analysis

The evidence surrounding the claim is limited and does not directly support the assertion that city officials have acknowledged ongoing issues with homeless trespassing. The sources reviewed primarily focus on city governance and emergency management without specific references to homelessness or related ordinances.

The City of St. Louis website serves as an official source of information but does not contain statements or reports from city officials regarding the acknowledgment of issues related to homeless trespassing. The lack of direct quotes or documented discussions from city officials makes it difficult to validate the claim.

Furthermore, the court document discussing trespass ordinances does not provide context or commentary from city officials about current issues, which raises questions about the reliability of the claim. Without concrete evidence or statements from credible sources, the assertion remains unverified.

Conclusion

Needs Research. The claim that city officials acknowledge ongoing issues with homeless trespassing lacks sufficient evidence from reliable sources. While there are general discussions about city governance and public safety, specific acknowledgment from city officials regarding this issue is not present in the reviewed materials. Further investigation into city council meetings, public statements, or reports on homelessness would be necessary to substantiate the claim.

Fact Check: Built on ancient Native American mounds near the meeting point of where the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers clash, the town sits at a natural crossroads. During the Civil War, that geography turned it into a vital Union stronghold. Mound City became home to one of the largest military hospitals in the West and served as a major naval station. Soldiers from both sides passed through some to recover, many not. It may be quiet now, but this place once pulsed with the urgency of life and death and sat at the crossroad of a nation at war with itself.

That history lingers most clearly at the Mound City National Cemetery, just beyond the edge of town. I wasn’t expecting to find it, and I certainly wasn’t expecting the names etched into some of the stones. Two men in particular stood out, John Basil Turchin and Alexander Bielaski. Both born in the Russian Empire. Both connected to Abraham Lincoln. Both now buried here, far from where they began.

John Basil Turchin (born Ivan Turchaninov) had once been a colonel in the Russian Imperial Army. He fought in the Crimean War before immigrating to the United States in 1856. When the Civil War broke out, he offered his experience to the Union cause with fierce conviction. His military background and abolitionist ideals caught Lincoln’s attention, and he was appointed a brigadier general, becoming the only Russian born general to serve in the Union Army. He died in 1901 and was laid to rest here, among the soldiers he once led, and some that he fought against.

Fact Check: Transcript 00:00 I'm Christy Nome here in Texas with my boots on the ground after this devastating tragedy that was absolutely not preventable and we are in no way responsible for it after visiting here I recently found out that Habius Corpus is the name of a city here in Texas and is in fact not a legal term which means the president can do whatever he wants. I have been told by some people that in addition to being the Secretary of Homeland Security that does also make me the head of Fema Fema sounds like female or feminism and that's DEI and 00:34 I don't believe in that. President Trump has entrusted me to be in charge of Fema which is not a federal emergency management agency. In fact, all emergencies are actually being managed by the state and the reason why I am here is to make sure to get some good film for my B roll. It is completely disgusting that there are people out there who are trying to politicize the devastation that happened here in Texas and I would like to remind everyone that it is only okay to politicize natural disasters when they happen in 01:04 blue states.

Fact Check: Donny’s sent Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche to ‘interview’ Ghislaine Maxwell, who is currently serving twenty years in prison for trafficking teenage girls for Jeffrey Epstein.

wait, did I say Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche? I should have said Donny’s personal attorney Todd Blanche — because that’s what Todd was before Donny appointed him to the DOJ.

how convenient, to have one’s own personal attorney running interference as the second-in-command at the DOJ.

so Blanche is talking to Maxwell. here’s the adminstration’s official bullshit cover story, as dutifully stenographed by the worthless scribblers of The New York Times.

The interview with Ms. Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking, is part of the department’s effort to quell criticism that it is concealing details of Mr. Epstein’s crimes and interactions with high-profile figures, including President Trump.

oh, I see — they’re ‘quelling criticism.’ how in the holy name of fuck does that work?

does anyone believe that justice is what this is about? if you do, I have five bankrupt casinos in Atlantic City to sell you.

we all goddamn well know that Blanche is down there offering Ghislaine a deal. it’s probably something like ‘exonerate Donny. tell everyone he did nothing wrong, and Donny will pardon you on the spot.’

you’d be naive to think otherwise. because that’s how the most corrupt administration in the history of corruption rolls.

it’s a fucking cover-up, is what it is.

let’s go to Akaash Singh one more time:

‘they’re hiding something CRAZY.’
