Great to see that CRIME is DOWN in DC since Trump was elected.

MAGA!

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's bag, including $3,000 in cash, is stolen from DC restaurant

Preventing crime in DC is primarily the responsibility of the local DC Metro Police, the police force of the DC government, a government which has perpetually been under the control of Democrats. They are funded by Congress (usually a Democrat Congress). Unless the President could make some sort of executive order, as I understand it, all he can do in the short term is try and lobby Congress to provide DC Metro with the funds, equipment, and manpower to help control local crime in DC. He could try and lobby Congress and the DC government to stiffen penalties for felonies in DC, but there again, the likelihood that the Democrat politicians who run DC would be agreeable to that is not high.

My only question regarding the incident is:

Why is she totin' 'round 3 large in her clutch? That's serious walkin' 'round money.*

*Does she have a bad credit rating? Does she keep "off grid cash?" Did it come from a Go Bag?

I had the same question. Especially walking around DC, one of the worst high crime cities in the US.

I lived there for six months in the late 1960s. The only time I was scared was in a demonstration against the war, and the army pointed a .50 caliber machine gun up in the air way above my head.

I lived in the DC area for 5 years in the late 1990s and I never felt unsafe. I never thought I was about to be mugged. I did avoid areas like Anacostia and parts of Prince Georges county, but downtown among all the tourist sites seemed just fine to me. However, I grew up in Oakland and lived through the 1980s, so maybe that gave me a warped perspective of safety.

However, most of Baltimore gave me the willies.

That's only slightly more money than Kilmar Abrego had on him while he was supposedly looking for legitimate work outside a Home Depot.

---

Where are you getting the idea that Abrego had a lot of money on him?

A Department of Homeland Security document said he was carrying about $1,178 in cash during his arrest.

Ah, I had missed that detail.

I don't know why she had $3,000. I don't think she is a gang banging drug dealer like lefty illegal immigrant hero Kilmar Abrego.

John Roberts sat around and did nothing while U.S. citizens were thrown in solitary confinement without a trial for years, but when a foreign terrorist illegal was deported, Roberts suddenly became very concerned with due process.

According to John Roberts, the president can order the assassination of a U.S. citizen via drone strike without court approval, but he can’t deport the citizen of a foreign nation who entered the U.S. illegally.

China's Deepseek AI is like next level theft that the CCP government has designed to essentially put out socialist propaganda. What's worse is a lot of data deepseek is collecting is using Bytedance servers (TIK TOK) and other intermediaries. I timestamped the video to start at the beginning of Deepseek coverage.

"A jury on Tuesday ruled against former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin in a rare retrial of her 2017 defamation lawsuit against the New York Times.

Why it matters: The ruling isn't shocking, given that a federal judge and jury already rejected Palin's libel claims against the Times in a 2022 trial.

Zoom in: After nearly two hours of deliberations, a federal jury ruled that the Times was not guilty of libel claims brought against it by Palin for a 2017 editorial that falsely linked her to a 2011 mass shooting.

Throughout this trial and the original 2022 trial, the Times asserted that the inaccurate link made in the editorial was a mistake.
It issued a formal correction of the piece, titled "America's Lethal Politics," two days after it was originally published on June 14.
In a statement, a Times spokesperson said, "We want to thank the jurors for their careful deliberations. The decision reaffirms an important tenet of American law: publishers are not liable for honest mistakes."

Between the lines: Palin and her legal team argued that the Times and its former editorial page editor James Bennet for libel used "actual malice" in publishing the editorial.

There is a very high bar for plaintiffs to meet the actual malice standard, which was established by the landmark 1964 New York Times v. Sullivan case.

The standard protects news outlets from liability under the First Amendment, even when they publish false statements, as long as they did not do so knowingly and recklessly.
Catch up quick: The outcome of Tuesday's trial ends a long legal battle between the Times and Palin."

Per Fox, a poll indicates 75% of Americans and 53% of R's do not approve of Trump running for a 3rd term. I am shaking my head at 25% of Americans and 47% of R's presumably being okay with it.

---

FWIW, those numbers will change if a lasting peace happens w the Russia-Uiraine war, and the economy improves.

Honestly Trump could have deported most of these guys without it becoming much of a story. The problem is that he sent them directly to prison. To do that I think you actually need to convict someone of a crime.

---

Nobody really cares about all the rest of them.

Your point absolutely is valid for the one guy. He has no legal right to be in the US. He is ineligible for Asylum because he entered illegally. He is here on a Hold order because he convinced a judge a different gang would harm him if returned to El Salvador. That gang has generally been destroyed since then. They could have gone back to court and gotten the Hold order rescinded and he'd lawfully be deported under immigration laws.

Nah, people are making an example of that guy because the government admitted a mistake. But I think people still care about the process of just throwing people in prison without any proof they committed a crime (aside from being undocumented).
