DC crime rate is low and not impacted by Trump’s federalizing crime suppression in the District – so claim the city's socialist leaders. Well now. The long term average DC murder rate is three per week, and since the police were augmented by the feds They’ve gone 11 days without a murder, that kind of hiatus would occur only with probability of 0.009, Therefore the most likely explanation is that Trump’s actions significantly brought down the city’s murder rate. The real problem comes when the feds withdraw and DC goes back to business as usual – i.e. it’s all about culture change.
Have you noticed that all lamestream reporting of weather events – too hot or cold, hurricanes, tornadoes, windblown wildfires, floods, … – strongly implies that it’s all due to preventable manmade climate change? To make everything peaceful and quiet again all that is needed are more well-funded green programs operating in an environment of ever more economically burdensome regulations and laws. Never mind, as Bjorn Lomborg continues to point out, that there is no evidence to support that leftwing hysteria.
[31aug25 update] Does Trump really want to adopt Beijing’s state-directed model? It sure looks like it. The administration intends to take a stake in Intel, to nationalize Lockheed Martin, to receive golden shares of Nippon Steel, to claim a piece of the action from Nvidia and AMD, and to garner royalties from research patents.
