You have to hand it to the Democrats. Their determination to throw a
hissy fit every time Trump does something is unwavering.

NEW: Rep. Jamie Raskin tells @Axios he will introduce a measure later
this week to end the emergency Trump has declared under the Home Rule
Act in order to federalize the D.C. Metropolitan Police.
Has to wait until a 48-hour window is up.

"Shocking stuff, even for Trump": D.C.-area Democrats rage at White
House policing move "It's ridiculous, it really is," said one House
Democrat from the Maryland suburbs.
No matter how common-sensical a proposal, how much it is grounded in the Constitution, or how popular the policy, Democrats will loudly protest
and cry "fascism" and "Nazi!" when Trump speaks.
Trump could mention the importance of breating clean air for good health
and Democrats would pick up smoking to spite him.
The latest round of insanity came on Monday, when President Trump
announced that he was federalizing the police force in Washington, D.C.
and mobilizing the National Guard to clean up the streets of the
District.
Washington, you see, is one of the most dangerous cities in America--in
the same basic category as Chicago, New Orleans, and Saint Louis. Its
murder rates exceed those of Bogota and Mexico City--both famously
dangerous cities.
The city, which famously puts "Taxation Without Representation" on its
license plates, wants to be a state. If it were, it would be the most
dangerous in the country.
The magnitude of the violent crime crisis places the District of
Columbia among the most violent jurisdictions in the United States. In
2024, the District of Columbia averaged one of the highest robbery and
murder rates of large cities nationwide. Indeed, the District of
Columbia now has a higher violent crime, murder, and robbery rate than
all 50 States, recording a homicide rate in 2024 of 27.54 per 100,000 residents. It also experienced the Nation’s highest vehicle theft rate
with 842.4 thefts per 100,000 residents — over three times the national average of 250.2 thefts per 100,000 residents. The District of Columbia
is, by some measures, among the top 20 percent of the most dangerous
cities in the world.
As President, I have a solemn duty to take care that our laws are
faithfully executed, and a sacred responsibility to protect the safety
and security of United States citizens who live in and visit our
Nation’s capital, including Federal workers who live or commute into the District of Columbia. These conditions cannot persist. We will make
the District of Columbia one of the safest cities in the world, not the
most dangerous.
We all know the story of "Big Balls," who was assaulted by 10 teens who
tried to carjack him and his date. He defended her, suffering serious
injuries in the process. But his was just another in a series of such
attacks.
Liberals are screaming that D.C. is not as bad as it was in 2023, which
is true. But that is like saying that Kamala Harris was a better
presidential candidate than Joe Biden--in other words, so what? 2025's
D.C. may not be prowled by Snake Plissken combing the city for the
president, but if your capital city is less safe than Bogota, you have a problem.
Not to mention the fact that DC is cooking the books to make things look
better than they are. As usual, you cannot trust what the Pravda Media
and the Establishment say.
One thing the establishmentarians ARE saying is that they don't care
what happens to people, as long as those people aren't themselves. It is
a typical attitude among the elite, who view everyone not themselves as interchangeable and disposable.
Liberals can't wrap their minds around the idea that Americans are tired
of watching everything get worse. We don't want to be "decolonized" into oblivion. We want safe, orderly cities in which families can thrive and
people can walk without jumping over homeless drug addicts, their
excrement, and their government-provided needles.
Somehow, civilization itself is racist. The left has been arguing this
for years, yet too few people grasp that they mean exactly what they
say. They believe our society should be destroyed, and are working hard
to make it happen.
I know that sounds like hyperbole, but all you need to do is listen and
the liberals will tell you exactly what I have said here.
What did you think decolonization would look like, anyway?
