By John R. Lott Jr., The Federalist - D.C.’s murder rate ... an astonishing 523 percent higher than that of the average state... The evidence makes clear that Washington, D.C., faces one of the worst crime problems in the nation. This is true even if one ignores the claims that D.C. is manipulating its crime numbers and that the large gap between reported and total crime is likely larger for D.C... Democrats may downplay the crisis, but the data show that the district outpaces every state and nearly every major city in violent and property crime, murder, and robbery. Until Democrats confront reality instead of dismissing concerns, residents and businesses will continue to pay the price.

By Craig Bannister, CNS News - U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi hosted a hot dog barbeque for law enforcement officers in D.C. Sunday evening, feeding the force before they headed out to protect citizens under President Donald Trump’s executive order to clean up the crime emergency in the Nation’s Capital... “No better way to spend a Sunday night! Make DC Safe Again!” Bondi wrote on social media, posting a photo from the event.

By John Zmirak, The Stream - Last week, we reported extensively on the collapse of civil liberties in Britain, where a government intent on colonizing the country with millions of Muslim migrants cracks down on native citizens who register any objection to that practice. Perhaps that sounds overheated, as if I were exaggerating for rhetorical effect. Nope, there’s no need for hyperbole, with more than 30 Britons arrested every day for nonviolent posts on social media: Patriotic Britons are pushing back in whatever ways they can — for instance, by running up or painting traditional English flags in public places.
