Last year DOJ published a report.

For every 10,000 blacks, 153 violent crimes are committed by a black person each year against a white person.

The same figure for violent crimes committed by whites against a black person: 3.4.

A black person is 50-times more likely to commit a violent crime against a white person than for a white person to commit a violent crime against a black person.

This is an extraordinary difference in the rates of violence committed between these two groups.

We are told that whites are systemically racist.

We are told that whites are successful because they oppress others.

But the facts tell the opposite story.

Blacks are not the ones being victimized.

Whites are.

Western civilization has been successful not because it was oppressive.

It has been successful because whites created, starting thousands of years ago, systems that are impartial and fair.

Today these systems are being dismantled.

Criminals are being released because of their skin color.

Law-abiding citizens are punished because of theirs.

All in service of an ideology that is simply false.

This puts everyone in danger.

[Disgraced Propagandist @DisgracedProp]

People demanding "proof" of election fraud are not understanding how crime works. I worked at Manhattan DA for over 2 years, one in Homicide. We never had video proof of the crime. We almost never had DNA. These are things that occur on CSI on TV, not in real life. And we still convicted people all the time.

What we had was testimony and circumstantial evidence. Travel times, bank records, cell phone data, gate access codes. Motive, capability, benefit, time and place. Never direct proof. Of course the defendant always denied the crime, but there was enough evidence to show that one had to have occurred nonetheless.

If what we have in the LA Mayoral election is a statistical anomaly that is beyond reasonable explanation with anything besides fraud, that is enough to prove a crime. This has been true since the beginning of Western Civlization.

That’s because fraud at scale takes time!

[Q @ResonanceEnter]

To the Black people coming after me for not standing with Karmelo Anthony:

I don’t have to support him just because he’s Black.

I don’t owe him allegiance.
I don’t owe him loyalty.
I don’t owe him silence.

A kid is dead. A family is destroyed. And yes, that child happened to be white.

Too many of you are only defending Karmelo because he is Black. If the races were reversed, a lot of you would be screaming from the rooftops and demanding justice every single day.

So miss me with the fake outrage.

Being Black does not mean I have to defend every Black person accused of doing something evil. Being Black does not mean I have to ignore right and wrong. Being Black does not mean I have to celebrate or excuse the death of a child.

I stand on morals, not skin color.

You can be mad at me all you want, but I will never support turning a dead child into a race war just because the accused is Black and the victim was white.

Wrong is wrong.

And I said what I said.

Chicago lost the Bears this week. A team that's been in the city since 1921.

They didn't lose them to a bigger market or a better deal. The Bears decided they'd rather be a tenant in Indiana than deal with Illinois for one more year.

Think about how badly you have to run a place for that to be the smart move.

They lost them for two reasons.

The people running Illinois would rather villainize a builder than keep one. And they're bad at their jobs.

In 2021 the Bears spent $197M on the old Arlington Park racetrack.

Before they could break ground, Cook County valued the empty lot at $192M (Bears said $60M). They were salivating at the chance to extort a building that didn't even exist yet.

That fight dragged on for years.

The Bears were ready to put $2B into the stadium. All they wanted was a promise the county wouldn't reassess them into oblivion, plus $855M for infrastructure everyone uses. Roads, transit, utilities. A $3B project, two thirds of it private money pouring into Illinois.

Springfield had since 2021 to get this done. They dragged it to the final night of session, passed it through the Senate at 3:39AM, and the House went home without voting.

So now it's all gone.

The funniest part? This started because Cook County tried to grab the tax early. They knew a built stadium would pay $53M a year. Now they get under $4M on a vacant lot. No jobs, no buildout, no new anything.

Congrats on fighting for scraps and losing the whole prize.

Pritzker: they're "an $8.5B valued business" that doesn't need propping up.

But be smart for a second. Almost every NFL city throws in public money for a stadium. Not charity. The return is real. Tourism, hotels, restaurants, jobs, game days, property tax on a huge development. The math works.

Indiana did the math. While Illinois sat on it for years, Indiana passed a bill in months, put up $1B, and took the team.

And the Bears took a worse deal to get there. In Illinois they were going to own their stadium. In Indiana they rent it from the state. A team that wanted to build its own home gave up ownership just to escape Chicago.

Nobody won but Indiana. The Bears lost their stadium. Illinois lost the team, the $2B, and $53M a year in taxes.

Pritzker after they left: "I wasn't willing to give up billions of dollars of taxpayer money to give it to a billionaire-owned family or team."

There it is. "Billionaire-owned."

That's how Democrats talk about any business right before they run it out of town. Call them a billionaire, act like you're saving working families, take a victory lap while the tax base drives across the state line.

Meanwhile they're running the whole state into the ground. And you already know how this ends. You're living in it.

Pensions are $143B in the hole, worst in the country and not close. You pay $6,285 a year in property taxes, double the $2,969 national average, for a city that's $1.15B in the red. The mayor called its finances "the point of no return."

When you run things this badly, you sell what's left.

They leased the parking meters for 75 years to Morgan Stanley and a sovereign wealth fund in Abu Dhabi. Took $1.15B and burned through it in two years. The investors already made it all back, with 58 years left to collect.

Sold the Skyway. Sold the downtown garages. Every asset that made money, gone for one check.

But a fixed property tax rate for a team that's been here 106 years? That's "propping up billionaires."

Companies are leaving. Boeing for Virginia. Caterpillar for Texas. Citadel for Miami. In 2023 alone Illinois lost 56,000 people and $6B in income to other states. The ones who left earned a third more than the ones who moved in.

Indiana didn't outbid anyone. AAA credit, 16 years straight. A $676M surplus. Fourth-lowest debt per person in the country. They just weren't a disaster.

Illinois could have collected $53M a year. It chose zero. Ignore all the bad management but make sure to stick it to those evil, pesky billionaires.

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! Thank you, President Trump! 🙏🏼🇺🇸

[Denise @Likeshesays]

I have a serious question… What kind of person gets mad that President Trump wanted this cleaned and repaired? 🤣

This is one of the most photographed sites in the entire National Mall — over 25 million visitors a year — and it was literally covered in 10 truckloads of trash, filth, algae, sludge, and leaking infrastructure.

Wanting it restored isn’t political. It’s called basic stewardship of a national landmark.

If you’re angry that someone wanted the Reflecting Pool to look like something other than a swamp… that says more about you than it does about him.

Don't hate beauty-- hate filth.

She says from a literal red carpet, surrounded by armed security, completely insulated from the horrors on our streets that Angelenos and their kids have to suffer through every day. I’m glad she doesn’t have to suffer the consequences of Karen and Nithya’s failures, but she’s in an elite minority and the rest of us want change.

[James Woods @RealJamesWoods]

It’s actually possible California can be saved. It’s not a matter of whether Steve can win. He can, and he will. The real question is will he win by a large enough margin to beat the cheat. Democrats are going to cheat like never before, and Californians must VOTE to beat them.

Everyone is trying to claim me for their tribe. There’s no R next to my name, there’s no D next to my name. I’m not part of a political party, because I hate politicians. I’m just Spencer, husband to Heidi, father to Ryker and Gunner, and I’m a pissed off Angeleno who loves my city and is fed up with what corrupt politicians have done to her.

[James Woods @RealJamesWoods]

Understand what these street shows are actually about. They have plenty of mosques to pray in. They are demonstrating their intention to infiltrate and take over our nation. They are so confident of our weakness, they rub our faces in it by doing this.

Senator Tommy Tuberville says Barack Obama mass imported Somalis into Minnesota with the purpose of taking over the local government

He says this is how Ilhan Omar got elected and the plan was to import so many more foreigners they could take over the federal government

“First of all, why would President Obama be allowed to bring in 80,000 people from Somalia and put them in one area in Minnesota, which is Minneapolis? And it was all done by plan. It's a third world country. Not assimilate, to build their own neighborhoods, to overtake the local, state, and then federal government with Ilhan Omar.

She's not even a citizen, but she's in Congress. I can't figure out how we've allowed this to happen. People that are non-US citizens to be in Congress, to be help making laws and voting on things.”

You know how we can easily fix these things from happening almost immediately, I’ll tell you

No one that’s foreign born should be allowed to run for federal office in America. Make immigrants be here at least a full generation before being allowed to serve

Take it even further. No one foreign born should be allowed to serve at any level in American government

Also mandatory English

🚨WHAT THE HELL?!!!!

Divers doing a ROUTINE maintenance check at the Converse Reservoir dam in Mobile, AL...

...just found an underwater IED!!!!

Apparently a grenade-type bomb was sitting submerged at the bottom of a dam that holds an entire city's DRINKING WATER.

It took FIVE agencies: the FBI, ALEA, the Sheriff, Mobile PD, and a maritime render-safe team, to pull it out and detonate it.

Someone put a BOMB in our water supply...

WHERE IS THE NATIONAL COVERAGE?!!!
