The Press Is Lying About D.C. Crime

 

We've come to expect that no matter what President Donald Trump says or does these days, the mainstream press will rush out to say he's wrong.  So, we weren't the least bit surprised when, after Trump said crime in the nation's capital is out of control and called in the National Guard, news outlets immediately dismissed his claims.

But who is doing the lying here?

Crime in D.C. "is getting worse, not getting better," Trump said.  Nonsense, came the chorus of press reports, with headlines such as:  [...]

Hmm, not a lot of synchronized media types talking about this.  The other thing these TDS afflicted media types won't do is actually talk to the residents of DC.

I have not been to DC for sometime, remember being shocked that the central core was what you saw on the TV but outside of that, just a few blocks, well ouch.

Never been to DC, but what you described is similar to many large cities in decline.

What's Really Behind Opposition to Trump's Move in DC?
 

Lots of misinformation is being spread about President Donald Trump's decision to federalize law enforcement in Washington, D.C.  Much of it is the usual Trump Derangement Syndrome: "fascist" tendencies toward "authoritarianism" at the expense of "black and brown" people because of DJT's "racism" and desire to bury the Epstein scandal.  There's no "emergency" justifying the takeover.  The "solution" is to do what Democrats failed to do for decades: Make DC the 51st state so it need not undergo such "humiliation."

 

Where to start?  [...]

I think that part of what's behind this is the need to straighten out D.C. before the U.S.'s 250th anniversary next year.

DC crime and the Trump-is-bad-but-he's-right effect

 

There's something interesting going on in the continuing controversy over President Donald Trump's anti-crime initiative in Washington, D.C.  When Trump first announced the move, saying crime in the district is "out of control," many Democrats and their media allies denounced it with the argument that crime is in fact falling in the district, perhaps even to its lowest point in 30 years.

Now, after a week of heightened law enforcement and rising arrests, more and more voices are conceding that Trump is right, that crime really is a serious and ongoing problem in the district.  Some of those voices are still opposed to Trump, but at least they are now admitting there is a big problem.  [...]

Justice Department Investigating D.C. Crime Stats Scandal

 

The Justice Department is investigating whether Washington, D.C., police deliberately cooked the books to make the city's crime problem look less severe than it really is, two senior law enforcement officials told NBC News.  U.S. Attorney for D.C. Jeanine Pirro is running the investigation, and unlike swamp insiders, she has no problem taking on corruption wherever it festers.

Last month, the Metropolitan Police Department suspended Commander Michael Pulliam and placed him on leave after launching an internal investigation into whether he manipulated crime data.  However, this new investigation will dig much deeper.  [...]

DC just had a murder-free week, and yes, Dems, Trump did that

 

As the wailing and gnashing of teeth over the Trump administration's takeover of the Washington DC police force begins to fade, the results are coming in, and they are nothing short of extraordinary.

As of Wednesday afternoon, the nation's capital has had no murders for seven days, something that had not been achieved since March and something I can find no recent record of in summer months when the murder rate is typically at its highest.  [...]

ICONIC:  Trump Is Going on Patrol in DC

 

If the meltdowns we saw when Vice President JD Vance, Stephen Miller, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth did a tour of Union Station are any sign of how liberals will react when Trump officials do tours of the new, peaceful DC, then tonight is going to be insane.  Why?  President Donald Trump is going to be on patrol.  I'm not kidding (via WaPo):  [...]

Puzzled DC Police Chief Asks Reporters, 'What Is This Black And White Car That Goes Wee-oo Wee-oo?'

 

WASHINGTON, D.C. — A press conference to update the media on the department's ongoing efforts to rein in crime following President Donald Trump's threat to federalize the city was briefly interrupted today by a loud noise, leading DC Police Chief Pamela Smith to ask journalists what was causing it.

The incident occurred as Smith was briefing reporters on her department's task of cleaning up the city's streets amid an increase in violent crime, with a loud wailing sound that seemed to emanate from several passing vehicles, much to the consternation of the police chief.

"What is that black and white car that goes ‘wee-oo wee-oo' all the time?" she asked.  [...]
