national murder rate highest in 25 years
another feather in Pudding Brain’s cap. let’s be soft on crime, teach everyone to despise those with whom we disagree, mock religion and the traditional family, no downside, right?
We’re in Jimmy Carter territory now.

I know Jim Americans have never murdered each other before
The U.S. murder rate rose 30% between 2019 and 2020 – the largest single-year increase in more than a century,
Don’t recall you being concerned it was Trumps fault
highest it's been in 25 Years. So we have been here before
When are you going to tell us what mythical policy Biden passed to create this increase
Another conservatives myth the US isn’t tough on Crime
Criminals do not factor in punishment when the commit crimes .. that’s another myth created by conservatives
Current prison population in the US
1.8 million people
China 1,710,000
Weak on Crime ok

yes, that’s exactly what i said, that there were never any murders until Biden came along. You got me!
we know what decreases crime, and we know what increases crime, because rational people can look at results.
Rudy Giuliani is a clown now. When he was mayor of NY, he brought about massive decreases in violent crime. Things like stop and frisk work. You may not like that it works, but it works.z
the liberal approach ( attack the nuclear family, attack faith, coddle
criminals, attack police, decriminalize drugs, let homeless create huge camps) well, now we know the effects of those things. mean, anyone who had commen sense could have predicted the impact of that stupidity, but we don’t have to guess anymore. we can look at the results, and we knows. They suck . They are stupid and they suck.
Living in CT, i can tell you that liberals aren’t persuaded by results. they never admit tax and spend just doesn’t work, and they do it again the next year.

oh, on Trump, i’ve said here many times that i hated his criminal
justice reform. drug dealing isn’t a non-violent crime.
The president doesn’t control the murder rate obviously. but biden supports the liberal insanity that is causing the spike.

just what is causing the spike?
Anytime you hear a “rise in crime” or “spike in shootings,” remember: whatever the claim, it's happening despite investing the most on policing in the history of the world. A brutal indictment of the efficacy of policing. Yet police are using their pathetic failures to demand more?

but biden supports the liberal insanity that is causing the spike.
So Trumps criminal reform bill caused
The year-over-year increase in the U.S. murder rate in 2020 was the largest since at least 1905 – and possibly ever,
Most states saw their murder rates go up between 2019 and 2020. At least eight states saw their murder rates rise by 40% or more last year, with the largest percentage increases in Montana (+84%), South Dakota (+81%), Delaware (+62%) and Kentucky (+61%), according to the CDC.
But let’s only focus on cities with Dem mayors. No bias in that
Firearms were involved in 77% of murders for which data was available in 2020, up from 73% in 2019,
But we don’t have a gun issue in the US
It is not yet clear why murders rose dramatically in 2020. Experts have pointed to a variety of potential causes, including the economic and societal changes brought on by the coronavirus pandemic and changes in police-community relations after the murder of George Floyd But the exact reasons remain unclear.
Unclear imagine that

one guy says it’s unclear why crime is spiking. You grab onto that with both hands, because it serves your agenda.
the polls suggest america disagrees with you. but you don’t believe any of the polls either. Good for you.

Goldman Sachs predicts oil will hit $100 a barrel in 2022. Just about every single indicator is working against the left right now. A LOT can and will happen by November. But my God this is making Jimmy Carter look like Dwight Eisenhower.

Jim what’s stopping conservatives from becoming Academics ?
About 76 percent of public school teachers were female and 24 percent were male
Women More Likely to Be Democrats, Regardless of Age
It’s a liberal profession it’s not rocket science. And what’s so nefarious about it You speak
As it a grand conspiracy, but then again that’s what conservatives want you to believe …. Just watch that Fox show and it’s a Christian school administrator it’s in your wheel house
Hegseth uncovers the secrets of the Left's educational agenda
And how our children can be taught to become virtuous citizens
The progressives removed all of that; most importantly, God, from the classroom. And they use some really insidious tactics to do it."
Religion and conspiracy. A perfect Fox show

Fox News is running a whole series stoking outrage about the left’s supposed “indoctrination” of kids, while at the same airing advertisements for children’s books to teach your kids to hate socialism before they even know what it is.

The 2010 US Supreme Court Citizens United decision hung a giant "FOR SALE" sign on the US Government and now everyone's surprised that "we the people" got replaced by "corporations are people."
If you’re paying attention, you see the Federalist Society justices moving pieces out on the chessboard to set up later moves for the deregulatory dark-money donors who put them on the Court.
No public education. No public healthcare. No public safety nets. No action vs. climate change.....
The Birch – Koch – Federalist – Mercer – DeVos – Fossil Fuel – 1% – Bannon – Thiel.....way

If you listen to Jim repeat what he’s trained to spout, you’ll find that liberals are responsible for racism, slavery, and the Ku Klux Klan. They admire Mussolini and Hitler, and modern liberalism is little different from fascism or, even worse, communism. The mainstream media and academia cannot be trusted because of the pervasive, totalitarian nature of liberal culture.
And they have had this grand conspiracy going forever.
The Russia investigation is dismissed, from the president on down, as a politicized witch hunt. George Soros supposedly paid $300 to each participant in the “March for Our Lives” in March.
What is less well appreciated by liberals is that the language of conspiracy is often used to justify similar behavior on the right. The Russia investigation is not just a witch hunt, it’s the product of the real scandal, which is Hillary-Russia-Obama-FBI collusion, so we must investigate that. Soros funds paid campus protestors, so Turning Point USA needs millions of dollars from Republican donors to win university elections. The liberal academic establishment prevents conservative voices from getting plum faculty jobs, so the Koch Foundation needs to give millions of dollars to universities with strings very much attached.

If you listen to Pete spew what he has been taught to spew, you'll hear that democrats are never wring about anything, republicans are never right about anything.
Pete, who supported slavery and Jim Crow, and who fought against it? Can you answer that, please?
"The mainstream media and academia cannot be trusted because of the pervasive, totalitarian nature of liberal cult"
What I've said, is that the media and academia have a liberal bias. I'm not saying that they can never be fair, or that they're always wrong. I'm saying they're biased, and the data bears that out.
The Russia investigation was, precisely, a worthless political witch hunt. That doesn't mean I defend everything Trump has done. But that was a sham.
"Hillary-Russia-Obama-FBI collusion, so we must investigate that. "
The Steele dossier, in particular, was a mockery of justice, a political weapon used by people who hate Trump, to violate the rights of a US citizen.
"The liberal academic establishment prevents conservative voices from getting plum faculty jobs"
Obviously, irrefutably true, especially teaching jobs in the humanities and liberal arts.
Man you are a kook.

I’ve rebutted everyone of your claims before, if the basis of your beliefs is that the Republican Party is still the Party of Lincoln and the Democratic Party is the Party of George Wallace and Bull Connor, you are stupid.
You still haven’t read the Mueller report or the Steele dossier.
If you think the Steele raw intelligence report is all made up, just what did Paul Manafort not “rat out” Trump for and then get pardoned? What was Roger Stone pardoned for?
Did Trump have deals in Russia?
Just how are your great speakers Milo Yiannopoulos, Ben Shapiro, Charles Murray, and Ann Coulter disrupted, nothing makes them happier, In some instances, they seem to invite, and delight in, disruption. Anything to enhance their victimization.

I don’t have any need to hide my views on abortion, I don’t think we’re required to believe in your religion.
So then, Jim wanted to know why the word abortion is so persistently replaced by euphemisms such as "women's health"?
Sorry but I think public education is important, not perfect but needed.
Left to their own conservatives would have no federal support for education.
And then if every state was as poorly educated as Republican controlled states, we’d have more Trumps and DeSantis’

Federal support for education, especially when it's used as a lever to dictate what and how is to be taught, is an unconstitutional power grab by Progressive authoritarians who are transforming us into an unlimited form of centralized government.
The public school teachers in the Republican controlled states graduated from the same Progressive education departments that dictate the programs of the vast majority of American colleges and universities. So the Republican controlled states are being educated just as well or poorly as the other states. Culture pretty much decides the amount and quality of what is learned. The quality of the learning of most black students in Democrat controlled states would be considered poorly educated. As well so for culturally backward whites. And the federal government has not provided an authoritarian solution to that problem. On the contrary, it seems to exacerbate the problem by not demanding, in its beneficent authoritarian way, that culturally backward families get their $hit together. Rather, it deems giving those folks more security and goodies will somehow transform their ways.
Of course, that gives the political power grabbers some statistical fodder to demand more power.
