DISCOURAGING: Crime is going up; the stats are being manipulated

ABC’s David Muir Lied About Crime Falling Under Biden-Harris
John R. Lott, Jr.  | Sep 11, 2024

*** begin quote ***

DAVID MUIR: “President Trump, as you know, the FBI says overall violent crime is coming down in this country, …” 

In fact, Trump was correct about the increase in crime under Biden. While violent crime fell by 17 percent under Trump, Biden has seen it rise by 43 percent.

Muir doesn’t understand what the FBI is measuring. The FBI counts the number of crimes reported to police. Trump was right that less than half of police departments are now giving that data to the FBI, but, more importantly, Trump was discussing what was happening to total crime, not just the number of crimes reported to police.

There are two measures of crime: One, the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reports (UCR), counts the number of crimes reported to police yearly.

The other, the Bureau of Justice Statistics’ National Crime Victimization Survey, asks about 240,000 people each year whether they have been victims of crime, in an attempt to measure both reported and unreported crimes.

We know that crime victims report only about 40 percent of violent crimes and 30 percent of property crimes to police.

*** end quote ***

Like the Covid “vaccine” injury stats, the Gooferment has put their collective “thumb” on the scale.  

Sigh!

Like economic data on inflation, they redefine the yardstick.

Argh!

All to make themselves look good.

Makes you not want to believe anything that they say.

Why report “unemployment nubers”?  Just report Social Security Tax Receipts.  Because they want to fudge the numbers.

Argh!

We know they don’t enforce the “felon in possession of a firearm”!  Why not?

DISCOURAGING: … … no prison for NJ parents

Baby girl dead with skull fractures but no prison for NJ parents
Rick Rickman
Published: August 12, 2024

  • 🔴 Parents get pre-trial intervention program agreement
  • 🔴 Baby girl dies from skull fractures and brain bleed
  • 🔴 Judge suppressed evidence from text messages

*** begin quote ***

A former police officer and teacher charged in the death of their infant daughter have reached an agreement with Mercer County prosecutors that avoids any time in prison.

*** and ***

Prosecutors said that Daniel Bannister, a police officer in Ewing at the time, hurt his daughter. Catherine Bannister was accused of knowing about the abuse, covering it up, and not getting her daughter help until it was too late.

Judge suppressed evidence from text messages

*** end quote ***

I hope someone explains WHY the text messages were suppressed.  Seems like very relevant information.  

If there is not a great explanation, then the deal should be revoked and the Judge “retired”.

Argh!  Very sad.  How little human life is regarded in our society.

DISCOURAGING: Recently John Oliver overstated how little “migrant crime” there is

Wednesday, July 31, 2024

2 men charged in horrific rape, murder of 12-year old Houston girl are illegal immigrants
By Sharyl Attkisson | July 24, 2024

*** begin quote ***

A horrific rape and strangulation death of a child is being linked to two illegal immigrants from Venezuela.

*** end quote ***

I think John Oliver recently overstated how little “migrant crime” there is. Maybe, just maybe, the R’s are hyping it too much.

I’m not a fan of either the D’s or the R’s.

But I do think “crime” is a much bigger problem overall and “migrant crime” is a component of it. Native USA-ers at WalMart, shoplifting, and flash mobs are another significant component of the perception.

Until the police and “justice bureaucrats” get tough and back to work, it’ll continue to be a problem. Some more traffic tickets would be helpful too. Argh!

In the mean time, cracking down on illegal immigration is a prudent strategy to “migrant crime”.  You can’t be unconcerned at the military age Chinese and Middle Eastern men in the crowds at the border.

And, we really can’t have “open borders” when we have a “welfare state”.   Never mind that we can’t afford the “warfare state” either!

Don’t get me started on the corrupt state or the MIC (Military Industrial Congressional) complex.

Argh!

DISCOURAGING: America’s Societal Collapse Accelerates

Authorities Are Literally Losing Control Of The Streets As America’s Societal Collapse Accelerates
by Tyler Durden
Tuesday, Jul 09, 2024 – 01:25 PM
Authored by Michael Snyder via The Economic Collapse blog,

*** begin quote ***

In a civilized society, authorities are able to maintain at least a basic level of law and order in the streets most of the time. Unfortunately, at this point it is up for debate whether the United States is still a “civilized society” or not. The chaos in our streets never seems to end, and those that are in charge of running things don’t seem to be able to regain control. The theft, violence and mayhem that we are witnessing in our major cities is being fueled by the worst homelessness crisis in our entire history, the worst drug crisis in our entire history, and the worst migration crisis in our entire history. If authorities cannot control our streets now, what is going to happen once our societal collapse reaches a much more advanced stage?

*** end quote ***

Over and over, the same story.  Laws not enforced.  Criminals not sentenced for violent crimes.  “Juveniles” not prosecuted as adults.  Bad behavior is tolerated or ignored.

Argh!

DISCOURAGING: Isn’t POTS a side effect of the Covid jab?

Sunday, June 30, 2024

Christina Applegate announces daughter Sadie, 13, was diagnosed with POTS
By Nika Shakhnazarova
Published June 26, 2024
Updated June 26, 2024, 7:12 a.m. ET

*** begin quote ***

POTS — formally known as postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome — is when your heart rate increases quickly after getting up from sitting or lying down, according to Johns Hopkins Medicine.

It’s a chronic disorder that affects the autonomic nervous system and blood circulation and could lead to tremors, nausea, and fainting.

*** end quote ***

Isn’t that a side effect of the Covid jab?

No information as to the young lady’s vax status.

So sorry for the trouble her Mom and she are enduring.

DISCOURAGING: Christianity died by its own flaw

Friday, June 28, 2024

https://www.amren.com/videos/2024/06/the-future-of-christianity/

Posted on June 21, 2024
The Future of Christianity
Jared Taylor, American Renaissance, June 21, 2024

*** begin quote ***

Will it help save white people?

Christianity is dying in the West. The religion that, for centuries, defined Europeans is increasingly becoming a Third-World religion. What does this mean for white people?

This is the article got me wondering: “Hundreds of Scottish churches up for sale as UK turns away from Christianity.”

*** end quote ***

It was killed by its own hand — pedophilia priests.  And the Secular Progressive Gooferment used that to force “christianity” to accept all sorts of perversion.  People didn’t leave the Church; the “Church” left the people.  When the Church failed to fight Gooferment Skrules, it basically gave up the future.  Instead of insisting that Gooferment had no role in “education” uncovering the real reason for its interest  — Gooferment jobs and get the venue to dumb down the future citizens pushing the propaganda that the Gooferment is the “solution” to every problem.  Instead of fighting for religious freedom, the Churches all knuckled under probably blackmailed by the pedophilia charge.

Interesting that we still don’t have Epstein’s Client List that could subject the Gooferment to its own criminal behavior!

DISCOURAGING: Here’s a movie that personifies what going on in Gaza

Friday, June 21, 2024

I thought you might be interested in this page from Amazon.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B07R9PKW3X/ref=atv_dp_share_r_em_9ec564baef3f4

Warsaw 44

The true story of a group of scouts called Szare Szeregi during the Nazi occupation of Warsaw. The liberation of one of its members through maverick military action in broad daylight known as ”Action at the Arsenal,” was the single biggest feat undertaken by a youth resistance organization in all of occupied Europe during WWII. Polish language with English subtitles.

IMDb 6.6 2 h 7 min 2014

# – # – # – # – # 

As movies go, it’s good.  Other than an unbelievable ending, it was good enough to viscerally demonstrate what happens when war is made on civilian populations.  The children suffer the worst.  It’s tragic. And, that’s why it is a “war crime”.

Fast forward 80 years, just like D-Day, and we can see what the people in Gaza are enduring.  It’s unforgivable.  And I hope all the politicians and bureaucrats, who caused it or failed to stop it, burn in a special ring of Hell for their part.

DISCOURAGING: Isn’t killing animals the first step in the psychopath serial killers development?

Friday, June 14, 2024

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13508165/Teenagers-Cat-Murder-Gun-Shooting-Oregon-Video.html

Appalling moment pack of warped teenagers shoot family’s friendly pet cat dead – then pull out their phones to film kitty writhe in agony as she died
By Mitchell Goodbar For Dailymail.Com
Published: 01:27 EDT, 8 June 2024 | Updated: 02:08 EDT, 8 June 2024 

*** begin quote ***

In the video, five teenage boys surround the cat, named Vortex, who appears to be lounging on the corner of the street.

After a few moments, one of the sick boys pulls out a long-barreled gun and aims it at Vortex, who was cherished for her sweet and friendly personality. 

Then the teenager fired his gun and struck the cat. 

*** and ***

The Salem Police Department recently charged two 17-year-old teens in connection with the cat’s slaying.

Both of the boys were charged with first-degree aggravated animal abuse. One of them was additionally charged with evidence tampering. 

But the investigation remains ongoing. The teenager who shot the cat has not been identified, and the weapon he used has not been recovered.

*** end quote ***

Isn’t killing pets a sign of a future serial killer psychopath?

Sorry, but these are not “teenagers” any more.  They should be charged as adults.

But since this is Oregon, I expect a slap on the wrist and sent home to plan their next “adventure” like a school shooting.

Where are we going as nation to produce monsters like these?

DISCOURAGING: how low can the USA go?

Shocking new footage emerges of huge wooden ‘shantytown’ built in Democrat-run city whose name is byword for crime and urban decay
By Ishita Srivastava For Dailymail.Com
Published: 00:34 EDT, 2 June 2024 | Updated: 10:48 EDT, 2 June 2024

*** begin quote ***

Shocking footage has emerged showing a gigantic ‘shantytown’ that has sprung up in Oakland, as the California city’s slide into crime-ravaged squalor continues.  

Michael Oxford, the host of CaliBased, posted a video on May 31 of massive temporary houses built along service roads that open up into main roads in Hooverville, Oakland. 

The footage showed trash strewn around scores of houses that were built of wood, tarp and other discarded materials. 

*** end quote ***

Not fair to call it Hooverville.  Even Biden-ville wouldn’t be fair.  Maybe Newsom-ville?
