BREAKING: Fox News fans melt down as a stunning new report destroys their right-wing myth that President Biden has transformed America into a crime ridden wasteland — and in fact shows that things are rapidly improving.
According to figures from data analysis firm AH Datalytics, homicide rates have plummeted by a staggering 13% since last year.
"The overall trend was extraordinarily positive and should be recognized as such," wrote analyst Jeff Asher in his end-of-year summary.
The U.S. is on track to end 2023 with 18,450 homicides compared to 21,156 in 2022. It's worth noting that these numbers would be substantially lower if Republicans would just support common sense gun laws.
Another analysis carried out by ABC News discovered that seven out of the ten largest American cities saw a double-digit decline. New York City dropped by 11%, Los Angeles by 16%, and Chicago by 13%.
Meanwhile, conservative news outlets continue to run wall-to-wall propaganda claiming that Democratically-run cities are overrun with crime.
Unfortunately, 77% of Americans mistakenly believe that crime has spiked in the past year. Over half believe that crime has risen in their area.
"In other words, tell your friends and family because they probably think crime is surging nationally. And in this case, they’re almost certainly wrong," stated Asher.
That is exactly the right approach. We have to spread the truth on this issue. Democrats are solving problems and it falls to all of us to make sure that our fellow voters know it.

“In fiscal year 2017, obligated aid increased to $555 million in the first fiscal year of Trump’s presidency and sharply dropped to $343 million the next fiscal year. (2019) it sank below $200 million, nearly half of what was contracted in 2014.”

When it comes to #abortion, I agree with @GovWhitmer that it is unacceptable for her daughters to grow up in an America with fewer rights than their mother had. I am a man, I cannot give birth, but I know God gave us all a divine right to choice in our lives. —TW
Our thoughts and prayers are with Secretary @ABlinken and the entire Blinkin Family who’re now grieving the passing of their patriarch, Antony’s father. I speak peace over you all. —TW
157 Republicans just voted AGAINST codifying marriage equality for LGBTQ+ and interracial couples.
In the year 2022.
Republicans’ backward and extreme agenda cannot be our future.
I don’t blame @Meta, I think parents should teach their children how to see themselves and to not allow outside factors define how they feel about themselves. It’s that simple folks.
We have got to stop letting iPhones & iPads raise #American children. Full stop. —TW
The historic nature of the Biden Administration will reach beyond that of America’s first female-black-AAPI Vice-President of the US.
In 2022:
Pres. Biden WILL expand the Democratic majorities in both the House and Senate.
Pres. Biden WILL expand the #SCOTUS to 13 seats. —TW
I am Type 1 Diabetic who has rationed insulin to survive, and I am running for United States Senate to make sure we finally guarantee healthcare as a right for everyone.
Happy birthday to my friend and my brother, @POTUS! Thanks for giving all of us the gift of better infrastructure. Grateful for all you’re doing to build this country back better.
