Serious crime spiked again last year to levels unseen in nearly two decades, according to internal NYPD data obtained by The Post — even as Mayor Eric Adams has repeatedly claimed that “crime is down” in the Big Apple. For the second year in a row under Adams, overall crime was on the rise — driven by a historic surge in assaults, which neared 28,000 for the first time in the city’s publicly recorded history, according to the police department’s rolling report. The report tracks the tally of seven major felony offenses after the time of arrest to when cases...

Violent crime is going down in Venezuela just as the United States has been hit with a rash of high-profile violent crimes by illegal immigrants. It’s not hard to figure out why. The killing of Laken Riley, a 22-year-old nursing student in Athens, Georgia, has become the latest and most prominent case of an American being killed as a consequence of President Joe Biden’s open-border policies. The man being held in connection with the killing of Riley is Jose Antonio Ibarra, a Venezuelan illegal immigrant who reportedly entered the United States in 2022. Since his arrival in the U.S., he...

Politicians and law enforcement figures in Houston are dealing with the massive blowback after an audit revealed that for at least eight years, authorities had “suspended” and not investigated more than 260,000 criminal cases. Officials say a lack of manpower led to the suspension of about 10 percent of the crimes reported. The revelations led to various groups calling for the firing of Houston Police Chief Troy Finner. The issue first began earlier this month when information from an internal audit revealed that thousands of sexual assault cases had been suspended from investigations and simply filed as not enough manpower....

New York City Mayor Eric Adams on Monday doubled down while speaking to a group at a town hall meeting in Canarsie, Brooklyn, saying the sanctuary city law needs to be modified so that any migrant who commits a felony can be turned over to ICE and deported. Adams commended his administration for doing an excellent job during a challenging time, but stated his hands are tied by federal and local law. The mayor spoke about some migrants participating in robberies and using mopeds to commit snatch and grab stick-ups. The issue, Adams said, became a real problem, so the...

Even though you see "PURCHASE" at the top, this is a free copy. Breaking down the information that has been found on Hunter's laptop I believe. (Haven't gone thru it all yet) A lot of information here but be warned: Your eyes and brain will have a need for a bleach bath later! https://bidenreport.com/#p=1

A non-governmental organization already is working to assemble the evidence of atrocities committed by Hamas terrorists against Israeli civilians in the organization's brutal assault on innocent bystanders on Oct. 7, with a trial for crimes against humanity – and probable executions – the expected outcome. The Jerusalem Post reports ELNET, the European Leadership Network NGO set up to emphasize shared democratic values and interests to strengthen links between Europe and Israel, is creating an initiative to document Hamas' atrocities. News reports about witnesses to atrocities already have confirmed the beheading of babies, the violent rape of victims, sometimes even after...

The Civil Commission on October 7th Crimes by Hamas Against Women is working to compile a database of gender-based atrocitiesThe first suggestion that Hamas terrorists committed acts of extreme sexual violence and rape against victims during their Oct. 7 rampage through southern Israel came on social media early on that fateful Saturday morning six weeks ago. Two short videos, shared by the terrorists themselves, quickly emerged showing groups of cheering Palestinian men, some armed, in the streets of Gaza crowding around half-naked and bloodied young Israeli women. In one clip, a woman later identified as German-Israeli citizen Shani Louk, 22,...

Former president Donald Trump is facing ninety-one criminal charges as he seeks to win back the White House in 2024. The indictments are the latest battle in a roughly six-year crusade against Trump that first sought to remove him from power through the Twenty-Fifth Amendment, then with espionage charges and impeachments, and that now aims to block him from becoming president again. The mantra we hear from those in politics and media who support these efforts is that nobody is above the law.But there’s an entire class of people above the law. Or who at least act like they’re above...

While police killings declined in the aftermath of Black Lives Matter (BLM) protests, a recent study found that there was a jump in homicides as police became “less proactive” due to worries about public perception and lawsuits. The Sept. 14 study analyzed two major waves of BLM protests—those following the death of Michael Brown, from 2014 to 2015, and those following the death of George Floyd, from 2020 to 2021. Mr. Brown was an 18-year-old black man shot by a white police officer in Ferguson, Missouri, in 2014. Mr. Floyd, 46, died after a white police officer knelt over his...

A new poll released on Saturday shows that 62 percent of Americans think former President Trump "committed a crime." Trump made history this past Thursday by becoming the first former President of the United States to have his mugshot taken, not to mention also being the subject of four separate indictments with a total of 91 separate charges. The poll is what many people consider a damning case against Trump. More than three in five Americans believe that Donald Trump has committed a crime (net +32; 62 percent committed a crime – 30 percent did not commit a crime), including...

The Mount Dora City Council unanimously approved a divisive program that seeks to encourage local business owners to display opposition to hate crime stickers in a city that has zero hate crimes. Mount Dora, located in suburban Central Florida, instituted the controversial program on Tuesday, while other issues, such as sustainable development and downtown parking woes, are greater concerns to residents. Mount Dora calls the program the “Safe Place Initiative.” The program seeks to push every business or organization within the city limits to post a “symbol of safety” as a signal to patrons the business is safe “for the...

Why would a COVID lab run by a shady Chinese company be operating in Reedly, CA in the central San Joaquin Valley? The lab, which was supposed to be an empty building, was discovered by Reedly city code enforcement officers when they saw a garden hose attached to the building and investigated.

On Thursday’s broadcast of “CNN News Central,” Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) stated that Hunter Biden “has tried to accept responsibility” for the criminal charges that his counsel recently failed to reach a plea deal that was accepted by the courts with federal prosecutors on. Co-host John Berman asked, “Do you think that a plea deal like that would have existed had it been for Hunter Brown instead of Hunter Biden?”

An armed Texas couple got into a shootout with two would-be robbers at a gas station Tuesday, wounding one of the suspects, according to police. The chaos erupted after a woman saw two men get out of separate cars with guns in the parking lot of the gas station in north Houston around 5:30 p.m., police told Fox 26. The woman, who was armed, called her husband, who was also packing heat, to alert him of the danger while he was inside the store, cops said. While the two suspects were trying to rob the place, one of the men...

The FBI had at least four open criminal investigations into Hillary and Bill Clinton that were suddenly dropped in the months before the 2016 presidential election, special counsel John Durham’s recently released report shows. The bombshell report released by Durham — which concluded that the bureau’s probe into former President Donald Trump’s alleged collusion with Russia was “seriously flawed” — also shed light on the quashed probes. The feds had been looking into claims that foreign countries and other individuals were trying to influence the Clintons through donations to their namesake non-profit and Hillary’s presidential campaign. Three of the FBI’s...

Police arrested a 35-year-old woman, who identifies as a 15-year-old boy, for harboring a teen runaway. Shouldn’t Washington Progressives defend this woman for being mis-aged? The police allege Amanda Dorrough was involved in a host of inappropriate behavior with juveniles, including getting naked in front of them, inappropriately touching one, and providing marijuana. One of her alleged victims characterized her as “pedophile-ish,” according to a police incident report, which doesn’t list the individual ages of the alleged victims. This incident highlights the dangers of identifying as something you’re not. But it also shows the left-wing hypocrisy on issues of identity.

An incredible speech that destroys the vax supporters.

A large study of parents of children who identify as transgender has uncovered worryingly large numbers who complain of 'pressure' to transition their children, even though they felt it was not in the child's best interests. The survey of 1,655 parents, published in the Archives of Sexual Behavior, found that more than half of the parents who were referred to gender therapists said they felt directed to put their kids on medical treatments or change their wardrobe. The paper, by Northwestern University psychology professor Michael Bailey, comes amid concerns over rising numbers of young people identifying as trans and non-binary,...

Washington, DC, got off to a violent start at the beginning of 2023, with crime rates rattling the city as Democrat leaders failed to push consequences. U.S. Attorney Matthew Graves declined to prosecute 67 percent of criminals arrested by police officers in 2022. In an interview with Left-wing Washington Post, Graves defended his leniency on the criminals, giving excuses such as unaccredited crime labs and police body-camera footage leading to severe scrutiny. Most cases not prosecuted involve gun and possession and burglary charges, which have increased by 22 percent. "The bottom line is that it creates the impression that this...
