Crime Plunges In Washington DC After Trump Launches Historic Crackdown

It shows there was no leadership, DEI was exposed as a failure and that situations can be handled.

It’s hard to argue with the recent numbers.  Washington DC has long been a national embarrassment for the American public, consistently ranking high on the list of the most crime ridden cities in the US.  The city consistently ranks in the top 20 for overall crime, 13th out of 200 US cities with the highest property crime and it was ranked 4th in the US for homicide last year.     

While Democrats claim that the mayhem has been in decline since 2023, they don’t mention the fact that there was a dramatic spike in assaults, robberies, rapes and murders that year.  Meaning, even with the drop, in 2025 DC still ranks among the worst cities in the US.  There are also suspicions of data rigging by DC officials. 

Throttled prosecution numbers cloud the real picture of safety in the capital and one wonders if anything Democrats say can be trusted.  After all, these are the same people that tried to tell us there was no stagflation crisis.  These are the same people that tried to tell us there was no immigration crisis.  These are the same people that told us the BLM riots were “fiery but mostly peaceful”.

DEI At the DC Police Force? Chief Doesn’t Know What Chain Of Command Is (Because you don’t need one with DEI, It’s beyond the Peter Principle)

Washington D.C. Police Chief Pamela A. Smith was humiliated earlier today after revealing that she apparently doesn’t know what the term “chain of command” means.

During a press briefing, a reporter asked Smith “Do you know what the chain of command is now?” referring to President Trump having deployed National Guard troops to the capital to restore law and order.

Smith looked puzzled and responded “What does that mean?”

If you care, there is a lot more here.

Trump announced the deployment of approximately 800 National Guard troops to D.C. alongside the federalization of the city’s Metropolitan Police Department, citing a “public safety emergency” due to what he described as rampant crime and lawlessness in the nation’s capital.

Trump invoked Section 740 of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act, which allows the president to take control of the police for up to 48 hours during emergencies, extendable to 30 days with congressional notification, to justify this unprecedented move.

He claimed the city had been “overtaken by violent gangs and bloodthirsty criminals,” pointing to high-profile incidents like the assault of a former Department of Government Efficiency staffer during an attempted carjacking.
