@EWErickson Yep. Can't fix stupid. Or narcissism.

Washington DC is on pace for roughly 42 murders this year -- the lowest since at least 1930. Two years ago it had 274. Carjackings are also down (by 44%).

What changed:

1) New U.S. Attorney replaced a soft-on-crime predecessor and immediately started actually prosecuting, including seeking the death penalty for the worst offenders.

2) There's more visible law enforcement presence now. Federal law enforcement and the National Guard deployed to cover a 50-year low in local police staffing -- a hole created by city council budget cuts that some estimate will take a decade to fully close.

3) Ended policy of refusing to charge juveniles as an adult, signaling to the youth that there will be consequences for their crimes. The prior admin prosecuted exactly one juvenile for armed carjacking over a decade, so gangs recruited juveniles to steal cars. Arrest-to-offense ratio for carjacking went from 25% to 58% last year.

Did you know Iranian Generals are fleeing? Did you know many urban militia members in Iran are abandoning their posts? Did you know Iran can't mount significant attacks anymore? Probably not if you pay attention to the Western media. https://t.co/ezOnaxiKSO

هم‌میهنان عزیزم، ما اکنون در مرحله بسیار حساسی از مبارزه نهایی‌مان قرار داریم.

از شما می‌خواهم که در اسرع وقت نیازهای ضروری‌تان را تهیه کنید، و به خاطر امنیت خودتان خیابان‌ها را ترک کنید و در منازل‌تان بمانید. هم‌چنان دست به اعتصاب بزنید و سر کار حاضر نشوید. برای نشان دادن اتحاد‌تان، شعارهای شبانه را با قدرت ادامه دهید.

به نیروهای نظامی و انتظامی: این آخرین فرصتی است که حساب خودتان را نیروهای سرکوبگر جدا کنید و به مردم بپیوندید.

در انتظار فراخوان نهایی من باشید.

Israel is inside Iran taking out checkpoints and the Shah is online telling Iranians to get ready for the next phase. Something is happening.

A radical curriculum shift in Philadelphia schools is raising serious concerns about antisemitism and historical accuracy.

The School District of Philadelphia is the eighth-largest school district in the United States, serving nearly 200,000 students. It has also become a hotbed of antisemitism.

CAMERA’s report, Shaping Minds, Spreading Hate: How Antisemitism Took Root in the School District of Philadelphia, documents how sweeping curriculum changes driven by ideology have shifted the district away from teaching history chronologically and toward narratives that attack Western values and institutions.

Key changes:

SDP reshaped the entire social studies curriculum from chronological to thematic and now focuses on “the three sins of Western civilization”: capitalism, racism, and settler colonialism.

It excludes world-shaping events such as the Enlightenment, the French Revolution, both world wars, and the Cold War.

It elevates and whitewashes Islamic history.

Lessons include an excerpt from Sharia law highlighting its promotion of “equitable financial transactions,” with no further context.

Another lesson presents “jihad” as a just war theory.

A lesson encourages students to conclude that the U.S. and Israel are “perpetrators of terrorism.”

The move toward an “anti-racist, decolonizing curriculum” has encouraged teachers to openly attack Israel, Zionism, and the United States in their classrooms and on social media when communicating with students.

This is not education. This is indoctrination.
