Helluva year

Couldn't agree more with this article. I am not paying any attention to this, but I've seen a bunch of attacks on John Fetterman lately and it just seems like a giant hit job. I don't really have a dog in the Fetterman the Renegade fight, but these stories are just obviously completely unobjective.

It's possible, but I think these are metro areas (not cities).

Our suburbs are very very low crime.

Last year Denver had 65 homicides, Dallas 183. Denver has 720K population, Dallas 1.3M. Dallas homicide rate was well over 50% above Denver. It was even a bigger difference in 2023 when Denver had 73 murders and Dallas 248. This year Dallas has 51 homicides, Denver a whopping 10. That's a 100% greater rate (and both cities are probably thrilled where things stand right now).

These numbers aren't really close, and it's probably a pretty big tell for other violent crime. We could analyze that, but that seems like a lot of work.

I know Denver/Colorado have high rates of rape, for whatever reason. Pretty sure still close to #1 for car theft too.

Edited to add this article…

DumbCoach, I literally linked the actual crime statistics from the NYPD. What about that is an "estimate"?

If you guys want to call the FBI stats (which I've referenced but don't cite to) rough estimates, feel free. Because I don't need to engage with dumb arguments, I've just gone to individual departments and post their actual statistics. None of these are estimates.

Btw, crime has plummeted yet again in 2025. 2024 was a very good year of crime declines from 2023. 2023 was a solid year of declines from 2022. The years from 2020-22 were terrible for public safety.

It says a lot about your capabilities as a human being (underwhelming) when you just simply can't say "I was wrong when I argued about this for 18 months" when every bit of evidence has shown you were extraordinarily wrong.

You are absolutely entitled to your political opinions. You are not entitled to make up facts that don't exist. There are no facts supporting a claim that crime has gotten worse from 2023-25; it's been probably the largest recorded drop in crime since we kept records of this. We should all hope it continues.

Btw, drug ODs are dropping like a rock too. Because much of the 2020-22 chaos was induced by Covid, which wreaked havoc on the normal order. I told you this was all coming, but you were too wrapped up in the politics of it all to deal in reality on the issue (and as a general proposition, I'm fine with Trump running on the claim that Biden didn't handle chaos in large part created by the left's fetishization of the George Floyd situation and terrible Covid restriction policies).
Just stop trying to be the bigger and All Knowing Oz ! When it's just a little man behind a curtain.

Math is hard, but in this case not racist. Here you go !

A math/survey guy CAN"T use one yearly number total that is an estimate off by 50 % or more and compare that guesstimate to a second number total, no matter how accurate the second number, and come up with an accurate conclusion.

50 % with Anti-Semitic views, 50 % conciliatory attitude towards some Trump policies !

This seems like a chicken little article to me. Greenland isn’t a part of Europe/EU. I could be persuaded otherwise.

Pentagon considers shifting Greenland to US Northern Command, sparking concerns over Trump’s ambitions for the territory​


In the 1960's a BIL in the USAF had an overseas 2 year tour mandated, with 2 choices !

1. Greenland in some unknown US AF base, no family allowed.
2. Bermuda, US AF Hospital, family allowed. My Sister went to work for General Dynamics. They extended for 4 years total.
He took up golf and became scratch ! They had their first child.

But he did eventually get some skin cancers removed !

Are you suggesting that NY estimated its murders and other crimes in past years? The NYPD is arguably the single most advanced police force in the world, that didn't happen.

It's OK you were completely wrong about crime over the past two years. You have way more knowledge about Greenland than I do.
 
RDS is putting this forward, which is something I’ve thought about for more than 30 years. It makes no sense you own a home, but don’t really own it.

ONLY persons with NO knowledge of Police Departments would think to call the NYPD ; "...the single most advanced police force in the world..."

Just like the FBI !
 
I absolutely agree and Hamas needs to be uprooted but keep in mind neocons and Netanyahu are
1. Trying to pull America into conflict against Iran
2. Have a hard time separating the criminals in Gaza from innocent children. There is a element in the Israeli faction that wants these people all dead
3. Want Gaza to be permanently in Israeli hands
4. Want 1.5-2 million Gazans relocated to the west. We had Big Will on here suggesting they moved to Michigan(my home) or Illinois which shows me he had more allegiance to the interests of a foreign country than his fellow Americans.

It appears that Trump is at least at some level standing in the way. There is no mistaking Trumps disdain for Netanyahu . He knows the guy gives two craps about America or American interests.

To be fair, I believe he said that tongue-in-cheek because of the terrible democrat leadership in those states.

I personally feel he was serious. There are politicians like Nikki Haley that support this also. They most certainly are not America first. Then they wonder why we have pro hamas jihadists and sharia law proponents all over the west.

JD calls PM in India, gains cease fire now !

Two nuclear powers !

JD also advises Joey to hit the beach !
 
No. We already have a bunch of women wearing the appropriate coverings where all you can see are their eyeballs and the men walking in front of them. It’s pathetic we let these types of incompatible people into our country.
And some of them are clear bent on establishing islamic law in the west. These are the same people causing all sorts of trouble at Columbia university and other places.
 

If someone is tweeting about Caster Semenya’s running career in 2025, they might be manipulating you.

This lady is not transgender, but is a hermaphrodite raised as a female in some rural South African village. It seems unlikely that she knew she was intersex until it came in question when she burst onto the women’s 800m world scene in the late 2000s.

What to do with such an athlete is difficult. Ultimately, the ITF basically decided people like her would be required to take testosterone reducing medicines to compete. Which she did most of her career.

To make clear the oddity of this situation, she had about 3X the amount of testosterone as a normal woman; a normal man has about 10-15X more testosterone than a normal woman.
