Nine Days, Zero Murders: Trump’s D.C.
Crackdown Delivers Results

Original Article

Posted By: Northcross, 8/24/2025 7:22:14 PM

As of this week, Washington, D.C. has now gone nine consecutive days without a single murder — a striking and rare milestone in a city long plagued by violent crime. While the left-wing media hesitates to give credit where it's due, the facts are clear. This sudden drop in violence follows directly on the heels of President Donald Trump's decisive federal crackdown on crime in the nation’s capital. Just weeks ago, President Trump declared a crime emergency in D.C., authorizing federal intervention and deploying National Guard troops to assist law enforcement overwhelmed by years of leniency, neglect, and bureaucratic hand-wringing.

Comments:

Leading Democrats immediately denounced the effort, saying that the murder rate in the nation's capitol was not a big deal and that the carjackings are merely a sacred rite of passage for young men in DC.

Well no wonder the woke liberals are upset. The seem to revel in crime. All it takes is one strong man and millions supporting him. I'm so glad I lived to see this. Sure never thought I would.

Jeffries: "Trump lacks the legal authority to deploy troops in Chicago without a formal request from the state." OK Jeffries. Then let the existing governments show they can fight crime. ... Crickets The conclusion is evident. Either dems don't care that criminals are infecting their cities and terrorizing citizens or dems are so incompetent that they cannot keep citizens safe. Neither is a winning position.

Don't put it past "Da Mayoars" to shout with their shaking tambourines raised to the sky - There is no crime whatsoever since we "fudged" the definitions.

The usual suspects, the killers the care hijackers, they are still in D.C., they are just underground while the heat is on. As soon as the Feds pull out they will appear in force. Trump has given the citizens a respite, but he really hasn't solved anything. Get some decent hard nosed Judges in there, and the Metropolitan Police can handle the job.

Jeffries: "Trump lacks the legal authority to deploy troops in Chicago without a formal request from the state." BS. Ike sent the 101st Airborne into Arkansas back in the fifties to enforce integration and also nationalized the Arkansas National Guard. No complaints from the left then although there was a big discussion about states rights. Trump has the complete authority to put the troops in DC. It's a federal district. He can also declare a national emergency in areas that have been lawless enclaves which some of the blue cities certainly and and send troops there. It looks like the Dems have dug themselves into a deep hole by defending criminals, murder and violence and I don't think that they can dig their way out of it now.

One thing to keep in mind - the city has to fight crime on a budget. Granted, the mayor and police chief are incompetent deadbeats, but flooding the streets with 2,000 additional uniforms is bound to have a positive effect.

My understanding is that president Trump's 'takeover' of the DC police can only go for 30 days. What remains to be seen is what will happen when that time is over and the 'Rats are back in charge.

Texas Finally Passes New Congressional Maps 15 replies
Posted by Northcross 8/20/2025 7:02:14 PM Post Reply
It’s over. Texas has a new congressional map for the 2026 midterms, though it took over two weeks after state Democrats unnecessarily fled to prevent a quorum. The new map gives Republicans five winnable seats, all majority Hispanic districts. Democrats could’ve said, ‘ok, let’s fight for these voters who are gettable,’ but they decided to make a hash out of it. First, the messaging was abysmal, coupled with the fact that no one cared. Even the legacy press said these Texas Democrats ran away. They were off message from the get-go.

In yet another unhinged outburst that highlights the radical state of the modern Democratic Party, failed Senate and presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke (D-TX) launched into a profane tirade this week, branding Republicans as "fascists" and openly calling on Democrat-led states to gerrymander their districts, regardless of the law. “F*** the rules, we are going to win whatever it takes,” O’Rourke shouted.

President Donald Trump signed a directive ordering the Pentagon to begin military operations against violent Latin American drug cartels that have been officially designated as foreign terrorist organizations. These cartels are responsible for flooding the United States with deadly drugs like fentanyl, fueling addiction, chaos, and record-setting violence. While past administrations looked the other way, President Trump is treating these narco-terrorists like the enemy combatants they are. According to the New York Times, President Trump’s order lays the groundwork for direct U.S. military action—both at sea and on foreign soil

Not much needs to be said here: this woman is a total lunatic. Delaney Hall, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Facility in Newark, New Jersey, has been under constant siege by left-wing activists. It was the site of the Battle of Newark in May, where Reps. Robert Menendez, Jr. (D-NJ) and LaMonica McIver (D-NJ), and others tried to storm the facility. They were denied. Bodycam footage shows McIver assaulting ICE agents, which has led to federal charges. Mayor Ras Baraka was also arrested in the melee. The facility houses some of the worst illegal aliens in the country, from MS-13 members to child rapists.

Idaho Attorney General Raúl Labrador is sounding the alarm on a dangerous and deeply disturbing criminal network known as 764, which is targeting children through widely used online platforms. In a move that puts public safety over political correctness, Labrador is urging parents to stay vigilant as the FBI warns of the group’s growing reach and disturbing tactics. Labrador stated that the 764 network preys on children aged 9 to 17, coercing them into sharing explicit content or participating in self-harm, which is then used for blackmail and ongoing exploitation.

In a shocking display of unchecked political hostility, a Maine high school teacher has openly called for the Secret Service to “take out” President Donald Trump and members of his administration.

As we've been covering, David Hogg, a vice chairman of the DNC, has found himself making headlines with how he's helping to plunge Democrats into disarray, given that he's launched a $20 million primary initiative against certain Democratic incumbents. The effort has been news for a week, and Hogg has received criticism from veteran Democratic strategist James Carville, as well as former DNC and RNC chairs. The current DNC leadership now looks to be finally gearing up to take action.

Los Angeles County reached a $4 billion settlement to address almost 7,000 claims of sexual abuse in its juvenile facilities. This agreement will be the largest settlement in the county’s history. The plaintiffs filed a lawsuit against LA County in 2022, alleging that they suffered sexual assault and other types of abuse while being housed in various facilities. California passed a law that took effect in 2020, suspending the statute of limitations for child abuse claims for three years. Similar laws have been passed in states like New York and others.

In a stunning revelation, a new poll shows Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) leading Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) by double digits in a hypothetical head-to-head New York primary matchup. This surprising shift in the political landscape highlights the growing power of the far-left faction within the Democratic Party as Ocasio-Cortez continues to build her base among younger, more progressive voters. Schumer, long seen as the establishment figure in New York and national politics, now faces a growing challenge from within his own party, signaling that even the most entrenched political figures could be vulnerable.

Columbia University and its sister school of Barnard College have been in the news quite a bit lately. The Trump administration is looking to deport Mahmoud Khalil, a Syrian-born pro-Hamas agitator, who was involved in various activities at Columbia and Barnard. Khalil led encampments at Columbia and participated in takeovers at Barnard, with his involvement at the latter school coming after he had already graduated. The Trump administration also announced last Friday that they were canceling $400 million in grants for Columbia. Now, the university is announcing some pretty strong disciplinarian actions against the agitators.

Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson invoked a popular comic strip in an angry dissent, accusing her colleagues of being in the bag for President Donald J. Trump. The left-winger who was appointed by disgraced former President Joe Biden to fulfill his pledge to put a black woman on the SCOTUS has repeatedly shown that she lacks the intellect and temperament for the job with her emotional antics. Not that another example was needed, but Jackson served it up anyway, describing the court’s latest overruling of an activist lower court judge who blocked the ending of DEI-based grants at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) as “Calvinball.”

The headline -- and story -- were on a site called The Daily Galaxy, of which I know nothing. But the piece and its banner were spawned by a remark Neil deGrasse Tyson made during one of his many public talks/interviews. At one point, Tyson actually stated, “If we had a creator, I’d have to say that the creator is pretty stupid.” Unlike Neil deGrasse Tyson Himself, of course. I mean, he’s brilliant.

President Trump went on a late-night attack against NBC and ABC News on Sunday, deriding them for what, in his view, was "biased" coverage and said he would be in favor of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) revoking their licenses. The Republican president said the news outlets had given him negative coverage on "97%" of stories. It wasn’t clear from where Trump was citing the "97%" figure. A study released earlier this year by the conservative media watchdog group, Media Research Center (MRC), found that coverage of the president’s first 100 days in office was "92% negative."

Representative Al Green, who has served Texas’s 9th Congressional District since 2005, will finally leave office. The Texas Legislature, led by Republicans, passed a legal redrawing of congressional maps that effectively eliminates District 9. Green, best known not for legislation but for shouting down President Trump during his address to Congress in March 2025, will be removed from office after nearly two decades of loud, ineffective, and divisive politics. Unsurprisingly, Rep. Al Green called the redistricting racist. But the only racial injustice here is the Democrat Party’s decades-long abuse of district lines to cling to power.

Inflation may have moderated, and the economy is showing signs of healthy growth, but the public remains deeply concerned about both, according to the latest I&I/TIPP poll. The poll found that fully 80% of those surveyed by I&I/TIPP say they are either “very” (45%) or “somewhat” (35%) concerned about inflation. Just 17% say they are not concerned. That’s despite the fact that inflation has averaged just 2.6% this year – which is significantly lower than any year under the Biden administration – and came in lower than expected in July. And while the economy grew a healthy 3% in the second quarter –

In Los Angeles, the problem of tent encampments has persisted for almost 20 years. They began to pop up after city officials settled an American Civil Liberties Union lawsuit in 2007 by agreeing to stop enforcing a ban on sitting, lying or sleeping on the sidewalk. More lawsuits, settlements and court rulings led to the entire city and much of the state becoming the site of homeless encampments on sidewalks, streets, freeway embankments, overpasses, underpasses, median strips, parks, parking lots, public plazas, beaches,
