You can, if so inclined, read the BOJS report for yourself. It's very graphical and not too dense.
can't even keep high level things straight. He says "the FBI crime numbers are fraudulent." Then he says "the bureau of justice statistics just released a report that proves me right". Well, they released a report. That's true. And that report says, at the top of page 12 in red letters, "A lower percentage of persons were victims of violent crime in 2023 than in 2022". End of story. But fuckface attributed John Lott's manipulated stats to the government report. I'm out of breath.
liberally quoted from a Washington Times article (link below if you dare) saying violent crime was way up. Problem is, the WT used a a source for their story the notorious John Lott from the CPRC, a seriously biased and problematic non-profit founded by the author of "More Guns Less Crime".

No matter how hard I try, no matter how persuasive I am, and no matter how many times she says "yeah you're probably right", my MIL still buys stuff thru links she sees on facebook. She's been scammed three times already this year and she did it again today. She bought a deeply discounted Harris-Walz hoodie, proceeds of which would "100% go to the campaign..." She already had her CC# stolen just a few weeks ago.

To paraphrase Bill Kristol, I am growing increasingly concerned - about the fuse that is being lit below Springfield OH. Golftits and Couchboy are exploiting a small city that is already dealing with a simmering cauldron. There are people there who have been awaiting their orders. I am keeping that town in my thoughts.
You know who is really loving this Loomer-MTG-Lindsay bitch fight? Yep. And you know why? Because one or the other, heโs fucking all three of them. #wheresmelania
I saw 9/11 happen literally right in front of me. I also recall it as a time when this country was unified. Yeah - a couple of people with no scientific background talking about what temperature melts steel - but for the most part we were all together - nobody cared about who you voted for and nobody was refusing to help for their own selfish bs because 3K people died. WTF happened to us?
Time marches on. 15 just passed his written test. Leaners permit acquired! #drivemecrazy
