U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland said his new Justice Department is focusing on five American cities to tackle illegal gun trafficking. On Thursday, while in Chicago, the official announced he’s sending gun trafficking strike forces to the Democrat-led cities of Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City, San Francisco and Washington D.C.
They’re going to say guns used in crimes in Democrat run cities are supplied by GOP run areas and demand gun control there.
Families supporting the local team. A woman waiting for her ride. A six-year-old girl playing outside. In one weekend, a series of shootings affected all of these Washington DC residents – and shocked a city all too familiar with the plague of gun violence.
It was the sixth inning. The Nationals Park baseball stadium, just south of Capitol Hill, was packed with thousands of fans spending their Saturday night watching the Washington Nationals play the San Diego Padres.
That was when the shots rang out. Cries of “shooter” rapidly spread through the crowd. Where had the attack come from? Was a gunman inside?
George Floyd and Ashli Babbitt: a tale of two police murders and two very different media treatments.
Here’s a tale of two cops and two murders: Derek Chauvin and George Floyd, and John Doe and Ashli Babbitt. Two cops, two unarmed citizens killed. One you care about, one you don’t. Even murder is politicized these days.

“…The committee head moved to the affluent district with his husband a few years ago from New York, where he had been CEO of the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum for about 20 years. He said he has been disturbed by the “brazenness” of the criminal behavior as of late, pointing to a high murder rate, home invasions while residents are home, and a recent police warning of “bump and robs.”
I wonder why?

Two previously unknown trips shared by Ghislaine Maxwell and Bill Clinton have been revealed, and journalist Vicky Ward has described the relationship between the two as an “escape” from the late Jeffrey Epstein.
On the ‘Chasing Ghislaine’ podcast, Ward alleged this week that Maxwell joined Clinton on two foreign trips in the early 2000s and was considered “just as important” to his staff as Epstein.
Asian organized crime has never been this prevalent on an international scale. Like in the historical West, crime revolved around gangs and thugs. But globalization, economical and political changes in the mid-20th century in China and Asia-Pacific created conditions for a new form of organized crime: transnational organized crime.
Transnational organized crime is characterized by cross-border activities. Stiff bureaucracy, tunnel-visioning on economic growth and the flexibility of transnational crime syndicates, has made it insanely hard to combat organized crime.
Law enforcement officials have made an arrest in the ghastly attack on a Chicago couple in the aftermath of the Puerto Rican People’s Day Parade last month, with authorities revealing an additional tragic aspect to the case.
Video appeared to depict a group of men dragging Gyovanni Arzuaga and Yasmin Perez — both of whom were in their 20s and were parents of two young children — out of their vehicle, with one of the assailants allegedly opening fire in the incident that occurred near Humboldt Park. Arzuaga was rushed to a local hospital where he tragically died from a gunshot wound to the head. Yasmin Perez, who was critically injured, passed away three days later.
With last year’s devastating homicide spike continuing, some proponents of “progressive” criminal-justice reforms are more convinced than ever that they have the right approach. Eric Levitz, writing at New York’s Intelligencer blog, views 2020’s 30 percent year-over-year increase in murder not as a political liability but as yet another reason to support a progressive reform agenda—one that reduces the footprints of incarceration and policing.
Petty theft is so out of control in San Francisco that a $3 tube of Colgate Anti-Cavity needs to be locked up for safe keeping!
Blood is flowing in the streets of American cities. Gang members and anyone in the vicinity are being shot by rivals. Random pedestrians are being shot and stabbed. Public transit customers are being stabbed on subway cars and thrown off the platform and onto the rails. Little children are being shot in their strollers, on their porches, and in their car seats.
Those pesky guns — that Lori Lightfoot blames for Chicago’s extraordinary murder statistics — had a busy holiday weekend in the Windy City. The Chicago Tribune laments in sorry detail.
Last week CNN published a story headlined “Concerns rising inside White House over surge in violent crime.”
A nationwide surge in violent crime has emerged as a growing area of concern inside the White House, where President Joe Biden and his aides have listened with alarm as local authorities warn a brutal summer of killing lies ahead…
CHICAGO—As Chicago aldermen took turns questioning Police Superintendent David Brown about an alarming crime wave on Friday, Brown said police officers had done their utmost and that the blame should be directed at the court system which had sent too many violent offenders back on the street.
About 20 aldermen requested the special city council meeting with Brown following two violent weekends that saw 24 people killed and 114 injured in Chicago. The day before the meeting, a 1-month-old baby and a 9-year-old girl were both shot in the head; another 8-year-old girl was shot in the arm.
Be amiss…
