Another Nail Just Got Hammered in Bogus D.C.

Democrats will not be only notorious for deluding themselves, but they’re even more infamous for how often they gaslight the American people to strive and make them imagine issues that are patently false.

Take, for occasion, the “Defund the Police” motion (aka the Black Lives Matter group), which they coddled to the nth degree in the summer time and fall of 2020 during the George Floyd riots. Though it finally damage House Democrats at the poll box that yr, in the aftermath, there was a laughable, concerted effort by the mainstream media and the left to complain that some lawmakers had unfairly been related with the motion.

Perhaps more insultingly, some even had the nerve to counsel that defunding the police wasn’t about actually defunding them, though their claims would fall flat when woketivists in Congress like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) would sometimes say the quiet half out loud by reminding people that “defund the police” meant precisely what it seemed like.

Here we’re in the summer time of 2025, and Democrats and their media allies are doing it to themselves again, citing questionable stats to proclaim “crime is down” in Washington, D.C., amid President Trump’s federalizing law enforcement there, even as residents and others who live elsewhere but work in our nation’s capital have been lining up to share their tales of households, pals, and/or sometimes even themselves being victimized.

Others, just like the D.C. Police Union, have also injected some actuality into the dialogue, confirming “crime is spiraling out of control, and immediate action is necessary to restore public safety” and that they agree with Trump’s choice, although they really feel it “must be a temporary measure, with the ultimate goal of empowering a fully staffed and supported MPD to protect our city effectively.”

As additional evidence of Democrat/media shamelessness on this issue, FCC Chairman Brendan Carr shared a letter from 70 D.C.-based commerce associations despatched to D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser (D) in 2024 expressing major concern about “alarming trends” and “horrifying acts of violence” that had been happening across the town:

“Our organizations are primarily based in the downtown business district, where there have been horrifying acts of violence”

“Innocent people in neighborhoods across the city have been targeted in robberies, carjackings, and seemingly random acts of violence”

It’s onerous to read the print on the screengrab offered in the tweet, but this is the PDF model of the February 2024 letter. Excerpts are below:

Our organizations are primarily based in the downtown business district, where there have been horrifying acts of violence over the past a number of months. Mike Gill, a father of three and a chief in Washington’s business and political neighborhood, lately handed away after he was shot in a violent carjacking in the center of the Okay Street space. Later that night time, a younger man and father of two, Alberto “AJ” Vasquez, was senselessly murdered by the same man who performed an 11-hour carjacking spree. Police are still looking out for a suspect in the current homicide of Dynamo Technologies CEO Vivek Teneja, which occurred just blocks from the White House. Dynamo Technologies had lately received a contract to present “mission-critical cybersecurity operations support” for the Department of Agriculture. Late last yr, Congressman Henry Cueller (D-TX) was carjacked less than a mile from the Capitol building. The potential departure of the Capitals and Wizards from the world in Chinatown threatens to additional speed up a fast decline for downtown D.C. that will only exacerbate violent crime.

[…]

The City Council ought to take quick motion to goal the small group of organized and repeat criminals accountable for most of these violent offenses. A current research from the National Institute for Criminal Justice Reform and the District of Columbia’s Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) discovered as little as 200 people are driving the surge in repeat gun violence. Armed carjacking rings, including one damaged up late last yr by the Department of Justice, are accountable for many of the 950 car thefts in 2023. One man was lately arrested after committing armed theft at the same Chinatown Walgreens location six instances over the past six months. 

A very good rule of thumb relating to Democrats is that if their lips are shifting, 9 instances out of ten, they’re either mendacity or deceptive the public in some other means. But when it comes to crime issues and how to fight them, you may relaxation assured that they’re full of it 100% of the time.
