Trump complained that domestic violence was being counted in the crime statistics,
which he claimed meant that the influence of his policy was not being seen as significant enough.
“They said, ‘Crime’s down 87%,’” the president claimed, not explaining who “they” were.
“I said, no, no, no. It’s more than 87%, virtually nothing.
And much lesser things, things that take place in the home they call crime.
You know, they’ll do anything they can to find something.
If a man has a little fight with the wife, they say this was a crime.
See? So now I can’t claim 100%, but we are. We are a safe city.”
If Trump wanted to endorse domestic violence decriminalization, he may take some comfort in the status quo:
as it is, about 24% of adult American women have been the victims of “severe physical violence” by an intimate partner,
according to the National Domestic Violence Hotline
The Centers for Disease Control, meanwhile, puts the proportion of women who have experienced
“contact sexual violence, physical violence, or stalking by an intimate partner”
at 41%.
and many of those incidents are not reported or not prosecuted
– meaning that the perpetrators are free,
and that their assaults have not been treated as fully “criminal”.

DEI programs solve a systemic problem, and there is overwhelming evidence the problem is systemic.
For white people, this presents 2 main problems:
1. Admitting to themselves they are part of a system that is inherently racist.
2. Job competition is higher because DEI programs actively work against the system, allowing more qualified candidates to be considered for roles.
Both of these make white people angry. (1/3)

ALERT: The Trump FCC is being weaponized by newly-minted Chairman Brendan Carr. This is dangerous and should alarm Americans.
Carr has:
1) reinstated 3 partisan cases against ABC, CBS, NBC
2) helped Rupert Murdoch/Fox by not NOT reinstating *OUR* case

Trump signs ban on TikTok
Oh wait that was at the end of his first term. Luckily he’s been telling the young people he can save TikTok and they don’t remember this.
