>>But new research from the Brookings Institute suggests that murder rates were already rising...
Not particularly convincing. Look at Brooking's Figure 1: the time windows sure appear to be cherry-picked to support their argument. Pick seven week periods instead of six week and their pretty lines disappear. Doesn't mean they are wrong -- but sure diminishes their credibility.
NY v Trump. The press has completely missed the Court’s findings of high dollar counsel utter failure to preserve the issue of immunity as required by law. Sloppy lawyering because Trump runs the show and he has a fool for a client. The result is a no brainer!
Ketanji Brown Jackson became the first Supreme Court justice to star in a Broadway musical this week, when she had a cameo in "and Juliet"
A SCOTUS judge should not be performing in any broadway musicals let alone one that clearly leans a certain way. Justices are to remain apolitical. This is a travesty and seems very childish on her part. What is going on here?
So Trump won! Young Republicans and journalist for The Free Press don tuxedos to raise up pardoned Trumpsters, criminals and fraudsters as “populist”. What’s next for TFP….will you stand up for the Des Moines Register?
There is “sports washing” by Saudi Arabia buying its way back into the world’s good graces. Now we have “winning washing”. Lest we not forget….Trump won!
Bluesky- proving once again "tell me what you accuse me of and I'll tell you what you're guilty of". They do a public service by self-selecting segregation to their own fever swamp. They deserve each other and can't be surprised by the developments.
Kurds- I wish understood that one better. We've been pulling the football out Lucy-style since Saddam was in power. Is it all to placate Nato ally Turkey?
Syria- I'll stay tuned for the Free-Palestine crowd to take up that cause. Wake me up when it happens...No Jews, no news.
I would like to thank Mayor Rhodes-Conway for her courage in chastising those reporters who were asking personal questions about the victims in the Madison, WI shooting. Where is the common human compassion for persons who have suffered the loss of children? Those vultures are present any time they can turn tragedy into carrion for their maws.
Young people are accepting of Thompson's murder? Who are these kids and what are their parents teaching them?
Anytime gender and men, who want to be identified as women, comes up, I cringe. Title IX was supposed to give women their own space to compete in sports, for one. It was supposed to give opportunity to women. Those who are now defending women, who are really men, competing in women's sports, sets us back 50 years. The NCAA should be sued, as well as the Olympic governing body. They are rubber stamping this nonsense. They can't even define who a woman is. This topic pisses me off.
Terrific job River! This is the epitome of the "just the facts, ma'am" introduction to the day's news I look for in the morning. Now that the NYT/WP/WSJ news desks are undistinguishable from each other, I've been pining for a straight news site for some time. Thanks for stowing the snarky, head-wagging, know-it-all tone that we see from a couple of the other FP Front Page writers.
Mangione the killer! WHAT are they teaching people these days, WHY are so many supporting murder in this instance. This is insane!

I'm wondering whether we'll hear any more laments from TFP about 'political prosecutions' once Donald Trump's begin.

Lock him up!
How does anyone justify mutilating a healthy body to appease an unhealthy mind
At no age is this a good thing to do

'a nature preserve for the sort of political animals who thrived in Twitter’s former leftist censorship environment' that's almost too funny
Regarding the Brookings study on the murder surge during COVID : https://open.substack.com/pub/stevesailer/p/washington-post-why-did-murders-surge?r=1zxba&utm_medium=ios
I liked your old format better. The new one doesn’t have the same indie vibe. I find it strangely off putting.

"Some have claimed that that is was the result of police pullback..."
Lol!!! Yeah, that "Some" was The Free Press. Repeatedly. Ad naseum.
Once again. For those in the back;
Police. Do. Not. Stop. Crime.
