We're not solving half of all murders today
We're not solving half of all murders today - JAZZ SHAW"This is a disturbing story, but it runs far deeper than the recent spike in violent crime that has been observed since 2020.
National Review reports that an ongoing study of law enforcement clearance rates in the United States paints a picture of a culture where we’ve been heading in the wrong direction for a very long time.
- The Murder Accountability Project (MAP) has been tracking the clearance rates for murders in America and the rate for 2020 was barely over 50%.
- There was indeed a steep decline between 2015 and 2020, but the clearance rate in the 1960s was more than 90 percent.
It’s been almost entirely downhill ever since....

CCP government 'intentionally released' COVID-19 'all over the world,' Chinese virologist says | Fox News:
A Chinese virologist who sounded the alarm in early 2020 about where the coronavirus came from said Monday the U.S. has reached a "milestone achievement" after a classified intelligence report from the Energy Department reportedly found the virus most likely originated in a Chinese lab. Dr. Li Meng Yan told "Tucker Carlson Tonight" in September 2020 that the Chinese government intentionally manufactured and released the COVID-19 virus, leading to nationwide shutdowns and deaths.

Blaise Ingoglia files bill to 'cancel' Democrat Party for past slavery stance - By Amber Jo Cooper 
"TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (FLV) – Sen. Blaise Ingoglia, R-Spring Hill, filed “The Ultimate Cancel Act” Tuesday to immediately de-certify any political party that previously advocated for slavery in their party platform.
“For years now, leftist activists have been trying to ‘cancel’ people and companies for things they have said or done in the past.
“For years now, leftist activists have been trying to ‘cancel’ people and companies for things they have said or done in the past.
- This includes the removal of statues and memorials, and the renaming of buildings.
- Using this standard, it would be hypocritical not to cancel the Democrat Party itself for the same reason,” Ingoglia said.
The Democrat Party adopted pro-slavery positions into their platforms during the conventions of 1840, 1844, 1856, 1860, and 1864, according to a press release from Ingoglia....

DeSantis signs bill revoking Disney's self-governing power | Fox News:
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Monday signed a bill into law that ends Disney’s self-governing power and puts the media giant under the control of a state board.
"Since the 1960s, they’ve enjoyed privileges unlike any company or individual in the state of Florida has ever enjoyed," DeSantis said at a news conference held at a firehouse minutes away from Disney World. "They had exemptions from laws that everyone else had to follow. They were able to get huge amounts of benefits without paying their fair share of taxes."

"UNEXPECTEDLY! ‘I’m a Black Woman in America:’ Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot Blames Election Loss on Racism, Sexism.
Chicago has been a Democrat-monopoly stronghold since 1931. The last time the city’s voters elected a Republican to be their mayor was 1927.
Almost a century later, Lightfoot calling her (now thankfully former) constituents sexists and racists is yet another reminder of how out of touch she was.
Similarly, her administration being forced to deal with a pandemic that it was completely unprepared for simply “accelerated the contradictions,” as her fellow socialists like to say.--Posted by

Democrat lawmaker proposes bill forcing Chicago grocery stores, gas stations to hire armed guards | Fox Business:
State Rep. Thaddeus Jones (D) introduced the Armed Security Protection Act in January. If passed, establishments like banks, gas stations, grocery stores, and pawn shops would be forced to employ at least one-armed guard to protect the business during operating hours starting in July.
"They're not thinking. It's a ludicrous bill," Happy Foods store owner Barbara Eastman told FOX Business’ Jeff Flock in Chicago Monday. "First of all, for the liability of having an armed guard in here."
