Almost 80 percent of Americans, and 92 percent of Republicans, think crime has gone up. It actually fell in 2023. An expert blames a familiar culprit for the mistaken impression.
Oklahoma Baptist parents were told that their church's associate kids pastor was leaving to pursue "the next step in God's plan for his life." They weren't told that he was the target of a child sex abuse investigation in Arkansas.

You Dems really get your news from "news" organizations like this?!?
NBC News:
"Sen. Ben Cardin’s office has parted ways with a staffer who conservative news outletsalleged was shown in a leaked video having sex in a Senate hearing room." ?
"The survey’s serious violent crime rate is composed of rape and sexual assault, robbery, and aggravated assault (homicide is not measured in the NCVS). It rose from 5.6 to 9.8 violent crimes per 1,000 population age 12 and older between 2021 and 2022, an increase of 75%. The NCVS aggravated assault rate more than doubled, from 2.7 per 1,000 in 2021 to 5.5 per 1,000 in 2022. The rape and sexual assault rate also rose, from 1.2 to 1.9 victimizations per 1,000, a 58% increase, and the robbery rate increased as well, from 1.7 per 1,000 in 2021 to 2.5 per 1,000 in 2022—a jump of 47%."
No, one survey went up quite a bit. "Both too much and too little can be made of the divergence between the UCR and NCVS violent crime rates in 2022. Divergent change in a single year should be viewed in the context of the similar long-term trends in the two indicators—and both sources show an appreciable decline in violent crime since the early 1990s."
While the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting data showed a drop in the nation’s violent crime rate in 2022, data from the National Crime Victimization Survey showed that violent crime victimization increased. What does this discre...
Let's take a look at what the NCVS didn't: The murder rate. That *dropped* six percent from 2021 to 2022. A summary, with good links to primary sources, here:
And since murder rates typically track other rates of violent crime very closely, I'd say those non-NCVS stats are more likely to be the accurate ones.
But, in any case, your own source made this conclusion:
"The conflicting signals from our major statistical systems for measuring crime mean we cannot conclude with confidence whether violent crimes, other than homicide [which declined], went up or down in 2022. The decline in the nation’s homicide rate is the good news in an otherwise confusing story about where the nation’s violent crime rate is heading."

The number of people experiencing homelessness in the United States increased by 12% in 2023 from the year before, or roughly 70,650 more people without a home, according to a report from the Department of Housing and Urban D...
Looks like the Dem’s IRS expansion is finding some tax cheats. Primarily Biden’s family. Next up should be his brother. I’m guessing bro didn’t declare the $200k he received from Americore and sent to Joe as a “loan repayment”.

But the Lois Lerner IRS only went after conservatives. Someone screwed up big time.
Clarence Thomas threatened to quit SCOTUS unless he could get rich, so Republican politicians arranged for billionaires to start inundating him with money and gifts in exchange for his continued service. He gladly accepted the trade-off.
