'Our nation’s capital is a model of dysfunctional, clueless blue city governance. Nothing highlights that better than the explosion of crime—and especially carjackings—since 2020.

The official 2023 year-end tally of carjackings in Washington, D.C., ended up being a staggering 959, twice the number of the previous year. There were 152 carjackings in 2019. That number more than doubled in 2020, and it has been soaring ever since.

What’s particularly hard to believe is that 65% of the carjackings last year were committed by perpetrators under the age of 18.

And it isn’t just carjackings that are on the rise. In 2023, 274 people were killed in homicides, a 36% increase from the year before, according to WUSA-TV, Washington’s CBS affiliate. That’s the highest homicide rate in two decades.

...

The fundamental problem with the District and other cities is not simply that they have a lot of crime.

The problem is that the people in power and in the courts have an inverted view of justice. They have created the conditions whereby criminals are empowered, and decent, upstanding citizens are made to live in fear.

On top of that, they’ve allowed criminals to create a pipeline for more criminals. Crime pays, and now a generation of young car thieves and carjackers will know that the city is unwilling and unable to stop them.

That’s how you create the conditions for a “doom loop” in a city or society.'

At the time, there was a Hunter hearing in Congress. It distracted the news cycle - they just cut to Christie, who dragged out the announcement until after the Ways and Means had finished proceedings.

Watched the De Santis Haley debate - the new line on Trump's insurrection prosecution is whether the President has the right to assassinate a political opponent if he has 34 votes in the Senate - if not then this is at least a limit on executive immunity.

Well, there has to be some type of finding of insurrection against him other than that of the brain trust in the Democratic party (whose opinions are worthless) to make it actionable. I agree, though, the President has to act within the law at all times. It was Cheney et al that befuddled minds into thinking it was some other way.

If America wants someone capable of good government then De Santis is the choice (Trump did 10% of this and 15% of that) but it doesn't look like it presently.

If Trump goes down (and who knows what lengths the harpies will go to) then Ramaswamy has positioned himself to pick up the pieces of the MAGA vote - and he's in line to become "The Apprentice" if Trump goes through (though what Don Jr will think of that is anyone's guess).

I'd like to hear more of what Kennedy is doing but it's radio silence on his campaign.
 
The terrorists in Washington are prepared to start WW3 in order to 'galvanise' the senile old pedophile in the white house in the run up to November's election.
America will bring armageddon to the planet in order to keep Trump out of office.

The cowards in the UK just blindly follow their yankee masters.
 
The Drudge Report headlines with Haley at 20% and De Santis at 13%. Well, it may be run by the editorial team that runs the Huff Post but it still has traction among Republicans who haven't realised yet.

Well, it's not like ye weren't told. The world as we knew it is on a ride in a roller coaster than has a few nuts and bolts missing but, sure, it'll be grand.
 
I don’t like Trump but I’d love to see him win the presidency again just to see the meltdown that would take place🙂

I recall in 2016, the night he won watching it unfold on CNN, and by the time it was obvious he’d won Wolf Blitzer looked like something that had been dragged out of a ditch somewhere, such was the toll it took on him. It was fantastic to watch!😀
 
If the cold does not disrupt, then the mood will be focused on full insane going forward.

And even better, the alternative is a lad saying people were idiots to take the jab.

Roll on Monday night.
 
I know he's the perfect puppet for the Neocons/Globalists to utilise, but Jesus, surely they can see that it's beyond a joke running him again?

I mean how could anyone even take seriously the notion that the senile old cunt is actually making, or is fit to make decisions..

US politics at peak sickness!

Michael and Barak are running America. Biden is their puppet.
 
But they never want to admit they screwed up and he himself and his clique refuse to budge.


And Cameron is a bigger joke at she does not have the excuse of age.
