Trump has “Federalized” the police and activated the National Guard to reduce the rampant crime in our District of Columbia – a city controlled by rabid leftists. The average citizen who wants to live in peace is hopeful and thankful. The illiberal locusts of the left are calling Trump a “King”, “Dictator”, yada, yada.
Here are some REAL DC stats: The criminals and the illiberal left are not happy but the average citizen in DC IS where: In 2024, Washington, D.C. saw a homicide rate of 27.3 per 100,000 residents.
In 2024, there were triple the number of carjackings compared to 2018.
That was the fourth-highest homicide rate in the country — nearly six times higher than New York City and also higher than Atlanta, Chicago, and Compton.
If Washington, D.C. was a state, it would have the highest homicide rate of any state in the nation.
In 2012, the homicide rate in Washington, D.C. was just 13.9 per 100,000 residents.
There were 29,348 crimes reported in Washington, D.C. last year, including 3,469 violent offenses, 1,026 assaults with a dangerous weapon, 2,113 robberies, and 5,139 motor vehicle thefts.
So far in 2025, there have already been nearly 1,600 violent crimes and nearly 16,000 total crimes reported in Washington, D.C.
There have been nearly 100 homicides, including the fatal shootings of innocent civilians like three-year-old Honesty Cheadle and 21-year-old Capitol Hill intern Eric Tarpinian-Jachym.
Vehicle theft in Washington, D.C. is more than three times the national average — ranking it among the most dangerous cities in the world.
Carjackings increased 547% between 2018 and 2023.
Disgraced former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe responded with the following: “Now let’s think about the opportunity cost, all of those counterterrorism cases, counterintelligence cases, criminal cases, crimes against children, all the things that we rely on, FBI agents to protect us from every day that work is not getting done because you’ve taken that resource, some percentage of it, and shifted it to patrolling D.C., which is something that the FBI does not do and really cannot do in its current state, competently or safely for themselves or for the citizens of the District. So really questionable decisions here that will have major impacts on the safety and security of this country.”
So, having agents and extra police in the nation’s capital is going to impact really important crime? How about the 20 million or so illegals let in during the Biden Harris era – where thousands of criminals and terrorists roamed freely with the Drug Cartels and gangs? I think perhaps now that the border is under control – the FBI and Homeland Security properly funded by the Big Beautiful Bill – this has given us the necessary resources to actually remove the hundreds of thousands of criminal aliens as well as clean up the streets of D.C.
The reality is that Sanctuary Cities – nullification of our Immigration laws – far left Billionaires like Soros who fund and install soft on crime DAs and AGs are essentially “revolutionary” insurrectionists – and using troops to quell an Insurrection in our cities and taking down the insurrectionists who are funding this chaos is completely justified by the Insurrection Act used by multiple Presidents since Jefferson stopped Burr from taking over the Louisiana Purchase. These traitorous funders of Insurrection and chaos need to be brought to justice – preferably tried and executed. Burr fled to Europe to escape execution – and it does seem that some really evil villains live while the good like Hamilton die young. I am not so naïve to assume that evil actors like Soros will ever be brought to “justice”, but we can hope.
I am not terribly religious but I do believe there was divine intervention that Trump dodged the “bullet” literally – and that he is actively fighting evil and though the outcome is far from over – at least for the next few years – the force of good is on the rise.
