    Baltimore crime rates plummet; is it worth it?

    I've lived in Baltimore for over a decade. Scott's doing a good job, but he can't (and I'm not aware that he does) take credit for all of this, nor should the city shoulder all the blame for the recent-ish spikes in crime. It is true that lots of places across the country, with a variety of...

    Exclusive: Trump team withholds $140 million budgeted for to help state/local entities fight fentanyl overdoses

    Oh, I wouldn't put it past a few people... But more seriously, as far as political ramifications go, I'm more interested in seeing what sort of fallout this causes for other Republicans.

    Exclusive: Trump team withholds $140 million budgeted for to help state/local entities fight fentanyl overdoses

    It's a good think none of his voters live in areas with high rates of fentanyl abuse.

    As Texas Flood Deaths Rise, Officials Blast Faulty Forecast by National Weather Service

    I found out we're 2-3 degrees of Kevin Bacon from several folks involved with the camp, including the director who drowned. My wife's college roommate almost sent her 8yo daughter there this year.

    Vice president’s rumored vacation visit to Disney resort sparks impromptu protest

    How many videos? How many times? I don't know, but it probably won't get any better before you support your claims with something more substantive than your imagination. On one hand, that's true of every VIP. On the other hand, lol, whine much? Have you been to a Disney park in the last...

    Trump announces 50 percent tariff on Brazil, citing Bolsonaro trial

    What? How does removing extra queen bees with faulty males relate to either the Bolsinaro situation or the movie? But the movie is about the president's son being a greedy crook, so I guess it's got some applicability.

    Texas AG Ken Paxton has fired or put on leave 4 of 7 whistleblowers accusing him of bribery

    The impression I get is that other Republicans like him less than Ted Cruz.

    TONE DOWN YOUR RHETORIC! Leavitt Urges Democrats to Tone Down Anti-ICE Language After Border Agents Shot At [VIDEO]

    That's my story? Are you unaware of the facts of the case? Or are you just conveniently ignoring the parts of the story that don't fit your narrative in order to defend Trump? He was arrested on March 12 and deported on March 15. I can accept that maybe the initial arrest, by itself, was a...

    Trump announces 50 percent tariff on Brazil, citing Bolsonaro trial

    I remember in the past, some folks expressing a lot of concern over Biden's "interfer[ing] in another countries [sic] government". I wonder if this situation will elicit the same sort of concern.

    Does the "reign in the influence of Israel" movement need a Tucker Carlson to be credible?

    No, not at all. The Shah's overthrow may have been the end of our pulling strings within the Iranian government, but that was hardly the end of our meddling in the region. Either way, I'm not convinced that that chart is showing what it purports to be showing. The top graph, for example, has a...

    TONE DOWN YOUR RHETORIC! Leavitt Urges Democrats to Tone Down Anti-ICE Language After Border Agents Shot At [VIDEO]

    No, you're missing my point. What happened to Garcia was not merely an accident. The Trump administration took many deliberate steps to deny him due process and then to ignore court orders regarding his return.

    Who said that would never happen? And when did they allegedly say it?

    Consequences of firing government employees - USDA says it accidentally fired officials working on bird flu and is trying to rehire them

    What's absurd is the notion of the liberal cabal managing to coordinate anything bigger than a group lunch order.
