D.C. Violent Crime Drops 22% After Trump’s Crackdown; Zero Homicides in Last Week:

Fox News Digital’s David Marcus detailed the stunning findings, which include the fact that — as of Wednesday afternoon — there were no murders in the city over the last seven days. That is a feat that has not been seen for months — since March.

Marcus also cited a few other stunning statistics from the local police union, revealing that since Trump’s federal takeover, carjackings have dropped an astonishing 83 percent. Additionally, robbery has dropped 46 percent.

These statistics come over a week after President Donald Trump formally announced a series of executive actions to clean up the nation’s capital, which included invoking section 740 of the district of Columbia Home Rule Act, placing the DC Metropolitan Police Department under direct federal control, and activating the National Guard.

Study: Democrats Losing Registration Race in All 30 States that Track Party Affiliation — 4.5 Million-Voter Swing Toward GOP:

The Democrat Party is hemorrhaging support with no end in sight, according to a shocking analysis of new voter registrations.

“Of the 30 states that track voter registration by political party, Democrats lost ground to Republicans in every single one between the 2020 and 2024 elections — and often by a lot,” the report reads. “That four-year swing toward the Republicans adds up to 4.5 million voters, a deep political hole that could take years for Democrats to climb out from.”

“I don’t want to say, ‘The death cycle of the Democratic Party,’ but there seems to be no end to this,” Michael Pruser, director of data science for Decision Desk HQ, told the Times. “There is no silver lining or cavalry coming across the hill. This is month after month, year after year.”

Dumping money into the existing framework is not a solution for Democrats, but no easy – or difficult – fix is apparent. Compounding the party’s problems is the lack of a leader or message.

Russian cruise missiles hit US company in massive Ukraine strike amid Trump’s peace push:

In one of the largest overnight strikes since the war began, Russia unleashed some 614 drones, ballistic and cruise missiles across Ukraine, killing one, injuring dozens and destroying an American-owned electronics company less than an hour from two NATO borders, officials confirmed Thursday morning. 

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenksyy said the strike on the private U.S. company, which involved "several" cruise missiles, was "very telling" following President Donald Trump’s attempts to force Moscow to end its invasion.

"Last night, the Russian army set one of its insane anti-records," Zelenskyy said. "They targeted civilian infrastructure facilities, residential buildings, and our people. 

"Several cruise missiles were lobbed against an American-owned enterprise in Zakarpattia," he continued, describing the company as "a regular civilian business, supported by American investment, producing everyday items like coffee machines." 

The American business is known as Flex Ltd., whose corporate headquarters is in Austin, Texas, but which has business locations across the globe, confirmed to Fox News Digital that the facility only produces civilian consumer goods.

"This facility does not produce, supply, or support any military equipment or defense-related components," a spokesperson for the company said.

JD Vance: Bolton Probe Goes Beyond Classified Docs, There’s ‘Broad Concern’:

In a preview of an interview that will air Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Vice President JD Vance said the government has “broad” concerns about former National Security Advisor John Bolton after an FBI raid on his home.

Partial transcript as follows:

KRISTEN WELKER: Let’s start with some breaking news. We’ve learned that the FBI is searching the home of former ambassador John Bolton, his office as well. Can you tell me why is the FBI raiding Ambassador Bolton’s home and office and did the White House get a heads up?

VANCE: So we’re in the very early stages of an ongoing investigation into John Bolton. I will say we’re going to let that investigation proceed. What I can tell you is that unlike the Biden DOJ and the Biden FBI, our law enforcement agencies are going to be driven by law and not by politics. And so if we think that Ambassador Bolton has committed a crime, of course, eventually prosecutions will come, but, as you know Kristen, this is all part of gathering evidence, trying to understand something that we’re worried about. And of course I’ll let the FBI comment on the next stage of the investigation.

WELKER: What’s at the root of this? Is this about classified documents?

VANCE: Again, I’ll let the FBI speak to that. Classified documents are certainly part of it, but I think that there’s a broad concern about Ambassador Bolton. They’re going to look into it. And, like I said, if there’s no crime here, we’re not going to prosecute it.

Nolte: No More ‘Birthing Person, LGBTQIA+’ — Fractured Dems Instructed to Talk Like Normal People:

The Third Way, a leftist think tank that poses as moderate, released a memo Thursday calling on Democrats “Who Wish to Stop Donald Trump and MAGA” to stop using “words and phrases no ordinary person would ever dream of saying.”

And here’s a taste of the blacklisted terms, along with my interpretation of what they really mean:

  • incarcerated people [thugs]
  • justice-involved [thug]
  • dialoguing [chat]
  • triggering [telling a truth]
  • microaggression [offending a thin-skinned fascist]
  • body shaming [funny fat jokes]
  • subverting norms [behaving like a Democrat]
  • systems of oppression [opposing merit]
  • cultural appropriation [eating with chopsticks while you watch Super Fly TNT and your kids run around in sombreros playing Cowboys and Indians]
  • the unhoused [smelly homeless people]
  • food insecurity [coming up short at the end of the month because you wasted your food stamps on Entenmann’s and Dr. Pepper]
  • housing insecurity [about to be a smelly homeless person because you bought weed and Entemann’s before paying the rent]
  • person who immigrated [foreigner]
  • birthing person [woman]
  • pregnant people [women who are pregnant]
  • cisgender [normal person]
  • deadnaming [he’ll always be Bruce Jenner to me]
  • heteronormative [no one really knows what this means]
  • BIPOC [the minorities]
  • LGBTQIA+ [the gays and whatever]
  • involuntary confinement [justice]

This is fantastic for two reasons…

First, what we have here is a call coming from inside the house. Democrats are openly telling Democrats that they have lost the culture wars, which they have, because Democrats have become anti-fun, anti-truth, oppressive, humorless, anti-normal killjoys who talk like HAL from 2001 and want to queer our kids.

Democrats have painted themselves into a corner where any attempt to moderate will result in a brutal backlash from the wealthiest and most intolerant part of their base.
