The Great Crime Decline Is Happening All Across the Country Even cities with understaffed police departments have made record gains.

Lower crime rates are worthy of celebration. But while Trump tries to take credit, it’s worth noting that the trend traces directly to democrats’ investment in local governments. Investing in people works better than demeaning them.

Dear news media,
When you question Trump, don’t ask: "Do you still have confidence in Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick despite his ties to Jeffrey Epstein?"
Ask: "Why haven’t you fired Howard Lutnick for lying to the American people about his friendship with child sex predator Jeffrey Epstein?"

DHS shot her and called her a β€œterrorist.” New videos show something different. "It’s time to get aggressive," a Border Patrol agent said shortly before Marimar Martinez was shot five times.

I think the left tends to think their causes self-evident if only people were educated. So in many ways they don't try to convince. I've seen that with bail reform fer instance - the reasons for it were never really brought to public discourse. Both why it is so unpopular, and why it overstepped.

so, convenience stores in food deserts will basically just have to stop taking food stamps entirely, which i assume is the actual goal here, versus the pretense this is about ensuring better access to healthy food.

When it comes to rock, you can't beat sandstone for showing such a range of shades and textures. Trail to lower Calf Creek Falls, Escalante/Grand Staircase National Monument, Utah.

I have said for years that class is more important than race, and that the genius of both parties was convincing people that race was more important than class

Two cases and the grease that breaks democracy The obvious lesson many are drawing is that ordinary citizens are more reliable protectors of democracy than judges in black robes.

How did we end up with a MAGA U.S. attorney in Missouri successfully shepherding a ridiculous search warrant past a magistrate judge to seize six-year-old ballots? www.democracydocket.com/opinion/two-...

The Democrats are, in fact, leaving millions of male votes on the table. Interesting that you equate being male and being a pedophile, both groups that Democrats apparently should regard with equal contempt.

Sunset Silhouettes

An instructor in my first photography class told me that palm trees are clichΓ©.

I don't think anything about nature is clichΓ© or to be taken for granted.

Like the removal of more climate protections by this 'administration'.

Star Trek: Starfleet Academy season 1 Episode 6 review: Paramount+'s new show officially just found its feet I've really enjoyed Star Trek: Starfleet Academy's inaugural season so far, but most of its best moments have admittedly come down to Easter eggs and other form

Der Sturmer, Hitler’s favorite newspaper, frequently highlighted crimes committed by Jewish people, real and imagined, to keep hate at a constant boil. This helped lead to the holocaust and the founder of the paper was hanged. Here’s Fox News doing the same thing w trans people.
