So police handcuffing the murder victim, mocking him, and letting him die while they coddled the murderer is forgivable.

So forgivable the officers aren’t even being suspended, much less fired or charged.

But Farage pointing out how crazy that is isn’t?

Weird standard.

NJ Democrats showed up at Delaney Hall, inflamed the protests, then took credit when 20+ rioters were arrested and order was restored.

"Democrats own the chaos," writes @JarrettStepman.

Note: Delaney Hall became an ICE facility in 2011 — under Barack Obama, while Sen. Andy Kim was serving in his administration.

TTW San Francisco ended a sixty-year patriotic tradition because it didn’t want to undermine a baseless attack on Mrs. Alito.

1 in 12 college students at University of California San Diego can't do *middle school math*.

Over 900 UC professors are so fed up with students' skills that they are calling for the return of the SATs and ACTs in admissions--despite these tests being decried as "racist" when California stopped requiring them in 2020.

Apparently, even California academics have hit their breaking point.

A Canadian doctor met a 45-year-old man with Crohn's disease outside a Tim Hortons, assessed him for euthanasia, then drove him to an industrial facility and killed him.

1 in 20 Canadian deaths is now MAID. Canada will surpass 100,000 total assisted suicide deaths in June.

America, take note.

In 2021, Canadian media and institutions basically hallucinated the discovery of 215 children’s bodies in a mass grave near a former Catholic residential school. The evidence: radar saw soil disturbances that could have been tree roots. A wave of church arsons ensued.

People making the case for censorship often urge that destructive manias like this can be suppressed/soothed if we prevent people from communicating about them. And here was a perfect case: false information was being recklessly (or maliciously) amplified, leading to literal hate crimes. Shouldn’t the censors do something?

But the mass-grave craze infected the censorship class, so opposition got targeted instead. At least one “disinformation” NGO categorized skepticism as “hate speech,” and Canada even saw efforts to criminalize so-called “denialism” (drawing an absurd comparison to the Holocaust).

Good for the Globe and Mail to come clean.

The people who said things like “abolish the police” and “abolish prisons” actually meant exactly that as much as you guys would like to rewrite history

Chicago's Leftist Mayor Says You Can't Arrest Your Way to Safety. Yes, You Can. https://t.co/zt5Np0ronD via @JarrettStepman @DailySignal

[The Daily Signal @DailySignal]

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson on Memorial Day "teen takeovers" that left 50+ arrested and 5 officers injured:

"If we believe we can arrest our way towards safety, we're wrong."

The data disagrees: homicides dropped as arrest rates hit their highest level since the pandemic.

Baltimore has long bucked national homicide trends. But in recent years, it's followed the rest of the nation to historic lows. For months, I've been wondering: why?

Thanks to @TheFP for letting me do this deep dive:

SKID ROW REACTS: LA Keeps Throwing Money At The Crisis—And Nothing Changes

People on Skid Row describe a city overwhelmed by addiction, crime, needles and pipes being handed out on the streets, and homelessness spreading far beyond downtown LA.

Residents say billions of dollars have been spent on homelessness programs, yet conditions continue getting worse as tents, drug use, and mental health crises spread across Los Angeles. Many question where the money has gone and why the city continues funding programs they believe are failing the people living on the streets.

Billions are being spent, the system is broken, and many residents say city leaders lost control of the crisis years ago.

Jill Biden now says she thought Joe was having a stroke during the 2024 debate—yet she went on stage right after to lead the crowd in chants of "four more years," then took him to a Waffle House.

The media called anyone who noticed Biden's decline a "MAGA extremist," writes @JarrettStepman.

Biden's own wife thought he was having a stroke. Two NY Times columnists insisted he'd fought Trump to a draw.

Remember Biden’s audio recordings? The drama continues as former POTUS is suing the DOJ over their release with House Judiciary Committee!

@emilyjashinsky I’ve definitely noticed positive changes during my recent visits. A few years ago it really felt like DC was simply toast as a city, ready to fall back into the mess it was in the 80s and 90s. Still quite a ways to go as you note, but the foundation looks much better now.

[The Daily Signal @DailySignal]

Protesters outside Newark's Delaney Hall ICE facility chanted "grab your guns and kill yourself" at federal agents, blocked a garbage truck, and clashed with authorities for a second straight week.

"They choose Memorial Day to protest a facility housing rapists, child predators, and murderers. I'm sorry you got splattered with a pepper ball," said @SecMullinDHS.

People outside of DC don’t realize what a transformation this is. Union Station used to be packed with drugged out zombies shambling around screaming at passersby, and barefoot, piss-soaked homeless people passed out on the floor. Columbus Circle right outside used to be a gross dead fountain surrounded by dirt and tents. That is what used to greet you when you stepped off the train. Now we have an entrance to our capital city befitting an empire.

.@NYCMayor announced plans to seize property from "bad landlords" and hand it to nonprofits, community land trusts, or tenants.

But the city's own NYCHA—with 600,000 unanswered work orders—has been NYC's worst landlord for years.

"Fix those buildings first," said @NMalliotakis.
