Fact-check: Legacy media’s bogus defense of DC’s safe-streets narrative crumbles under scrutiny– www.theblaze.com

Excerpt:

The Democrats’ media allies are arguing that President Donald Trump’s federal takeover of Washington, D.C., was unwarranted due to sharply decreasing crime rates. However, these reports do not provide a complete and accurate picture of the crime crisis in the area.

Since February, Trump has repeatedly warned D.C. leaders, including Mayor Muriel Bowser (D), that the federal government will intervene unless the nation’s capital is cleaned up.

‘Unfortunately, while Fake News journalists and politicians go out of their way to claim otherwise, the reality is that our nation’s capital is anything but safe.’

House Republicans defied many of the White House’s requests for cuts to programs that don’t align with the president’s America First agenda.

In May, the Office of Management and Budget submitted its fiscal year 2026 Discretionary Budget Request asking Congress to cut funding to programs accused of wasting taxpayer dollars pushing left-wing ideology abroad. While the House Appropriations Committee reduced or eliminated funding for some of the requests, many remain untouched or barely adjusted.

For instance, OMB requested the elimination of funding to the Asia Foundation and East-West Center, which previous administrations have used for advice on how to deal with China.

“You are playing with fire, risking the destabilization of our democracy, while knowing that California can neutralize any gains you hope to make.”

Governor Gavin Newsom is demanding that President Donald Trump respond to his threat to redraw the California congressional district maps, as President Donald Trump and others in the GOP have been pushing to redraw district maps in Texas and other states for Republicans to pick up a few more seats in Congress in the 2026 midterms.

Newsom wrote in the letter, dated August 11, “I am writing to ask you to call on the governor of Texas and other red states, who are acting on your request to draw new congressional maps through an unprecedented, mid-decade hyper-partisan gerrymander to rig the upcoming term elections, to stop those efforts.”

July’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) report indicates that inflation is cooling more than expected, providing a boost to stock futures and placing greater weight on the U.S. dollar.

Consumer prices rose 2.7 percent in the 12 months since last July. This matched the 12-month period since June and came in below the expected rate of 2.8 percent. Core CPI, often considered a more accurate reading of long-term trends in the economy, rose .3 percent and 3.1 percent from a year ago.

Shelter costs ticked up 0.2 percent, accounting for most of the index’s gain, according to the BLS. Food prices held steady, while energy prices dropped 1.1 percent.

Planned Parenthood expands online abortion pill sales as in-person facilities close– www.lifesitenews.com

Excerpt:

As Planned Parenthood shutters brick-and-mortar facilities, it is driving clients to its new online services business model which increasingly relies upon telehealth – including the mailing of abortion pills. Its “Virtual Health Centers (VHCs)” are popping up across the country as part of a larger restructuring plan put in place years ago.

Key takeaways

  • In 2020, Planned Parenthood began offering telehealth services at all of its affiliates (49 at the time).
  • The pressure to remain financially solvent has driven Planned Parenthood to create and expand its Virtual Health Clinics as well.
  • Though multiple affiliates have announced the closures of brick-and-mortar facilities, many of those affiliates have also announced the expansion of their telehealth offerings and launch of Virtual Health Clinics.

That marks a decline from June, when his favorability stood at 41 percent and unfavorable rating at 47 percent.

Last week, a Baltimore judge rebuffed prosecutors’ calls for jail time for a 28-year-old man who brutally assaulted two senior citizens engaging in pro-life activism outside a Planned Parenthood in Baltimore. Instead, Baltimore Circuit Judge Yvette M.

Bryant sentenced the assailant, Patrick Brice, to a year of home detention and three years of probation. As part of the sentence, Brice must also complete anger management classes, go through drug and alcohol testing, and remain in therapy. Brice was found guilty in February of two counts of second-degree assault and reckless endangerment.

On May 26, 2023, pro-life activists Richard Schaefer and Mark Crosby, who were in their seventies and eighties at the time, were praying and sidewalk counseling outside the Baltimore Planned Parenthood. Brice had an exchange with Schaefer, which turned violent. Brice shoved Schaefer into a flowerpot.

Last Thursday, a Baltimore city circuit judge sentenced Patrick Brice to one year of home detention and three years’ probation after his infamous assault on elderly pro-lifers Mark Crosby and Richard Schaefer.

The grisly assault garnered headlines when on May 26, 2023, Brice, who was 28 years old at the time, savagely battered Crosby, who was 73, and Schaefer, who was 84.

Crosby and Schaefer, who are both devout Catholics, were outside of a Planned Parenthood clinic in downtown Baltimore handing out gift bags to women with information regarding alternatives to abortion.

Brice approached Schaefer and began debating the men over their pro-life views. Schaefer appeared to walk away when Brice suddenly tackled him into a large flowerpot, knocking the elderly man unconscious.

When Crosby went to help Schaefer, Brice shoved him to the ground, then mounted him and punched him in the face. After standing up, Brice forcefully kicked Crosby in the face.

Scott Jennings confronts hostile CNN panel that “nobody in their right mind” believes DC isn’t a cesspool of crime– www.louderwithcrowder.com

Excerpt:

Donald Trump did a thing, causing Democrats and the media (but I repeat myself) to have a knee-jerk reaction to said thing that they didn’t think through. Washington DC is a cesspool edition: Trump is against DC being a violent cesspool, so the media and Democrats (but I repeat myself) have to claim it isn’t. As Scott Jennings points out during another 4-on-1 handicapped match on CNN, no one is buying it.

Ponder this quote from yesterday as you continue: “Donald Trump has some of the best political instincts of any politician…”

Democrats and the media (again, I repeat myself) have decided on 30% as the statistic to claim Trump is spreading fake news, because, ACKSHUALLY, DC isn’t mostly violent anymore. It’s only very much violent. As Jennings says, good luck with that.

Whoops, wrong post. Here’s Jennings.

You know who also isn’t a fan of the alleged “30%?” Gregg Pemberton. He’s the chairman of the DC Police Union. You know, the guys who put their lives on the line every day they leave their families to go to work.

This is what Trump understands that the media and the Democrats (do I have to say it again?) refuse to. The Trump Admin is well aware of statistics claiming crime in D.C. “has fallen significantly from COVID-era highs.” And yet, residents of Washington DC don’t feel 30% safer than they did 30 years ago. According to a recent poll, half of the city says crime was an “extremely serious” problem, or at least “very serious.”
