1. This week, the FBI released its comprehensive crime report for 2024, which revealed that both VIOLENT CRIME and PROPERTY CRIME reached their LOWEST LEVELS SINCE THE 1960s

This a massive story. But you might not have heard about it, even if you follow the news closely.

Here's why.
2. First, lets go back to September 28, 2021, when the FBI released the same report covering 2020 and it showed the largest increase in murders since data began being collected in 1960.

It was FRONT PAGE NEWS in the New York Times and the Washington Post.

1. On February 24, Extremity Care LLC, a company that sells very expensive bandages made from placentas, donated $5 MILLION TO TRUMP'S SUPER PAC

Days later, Trump froze a pending rule that would BAR MEDICARE FROM COVERING EXTREMITY CARE'S PRODUCTS, which are overpriced & not backed by science.
2. 6 DAYS after receiving Extremity Care's $, Trump blasted the rule on Truth Social. The post absurdly claimed the rule would result in 187,286 deaths annually.

1. DONALD TRUMP'S NEW CLAIMS ABOUT EPSTEIN CONTRADICT HIS PAST STATEMENTS

Yesterday, Trump said he kicked Epstein out of Mar-a-Lago shortly after he "stole" 16-year-old Virginia Giuffre from his spa. That was in 2000.

But in 2019, Trump's lawyer admitted Epstein remained a member until 2007 2. Also, Trump called Jeffrey Epstein "a terrific guy" who is "a lot of fun to be with" in an October 2002 New York Magazine article. That was two years after Epstein "hired" 16-year-old Giuffre, an Epstein victim.

1. Axios' Mike Allen & Jim VandeHei insist they NEVER expresses opinions on political topics

They describe their reporting as "clincal"

So, how did they cover the first 6 months of Trump? "President Trump, in terms of raw accomplishments, crushed his first six months in historic ways," they wrote 2. Allen and VandeHei listed Trump's "wins": "Massive tax cuts. Record-low border crossings. Surging tariff revenue. Stunning air strikes in Iran. Modest inflation." It's "the very best chapter of his presidency"

1. According to President Trump, large American cities are crime-infested hellholes.

Last month, Trump claimed that cities run by Democrats have “heavy crime” and called Los Angeles a “trash heap...under the control of transnational gangs and criminal networks.”

The data tells a different story 2. Trump blames the alleged crime wave on cities that have limited cash bail.

So let's look at some cities run by Democrats that have recently imposed bail reform.

1. Trump is turning a failing media company into a bitcoin holding company.

TMTG, the parent company of Truth Social, lost over $185M on just $3.6M in revenue in 2024

Yesterday, TMTG announced it had purchased $2 BILLION IN BITCOIN

Trump can make sure this gamble pays off 2. Lots of companies employing a "bitcoin treasury" strategy

The difference: TMTG does not just have to hope bitcoin prices rise

Trump has the authority to take actions that will drive the price of bitcoin higher

1. Trump says that the letter to Epstein is fake because the letter is "not the way I talk."

Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said the letter is "not at all how he speaks or writes."

JD Vance said the same thing.

Does the letter sound like Trump?

I investigated. 2. The most distinctive single word in the letter is "enigma."

Donald Trump Jr. says his dad has a very distinctive speaking style and never used the word "enigma."

This is not true.

1. The media is normalizing Trump's corruption.

There is a massive scandal that almost all media outlets are ignoring.

It involves a new Trump Tower that will be constructed in Bucharest.

Follow this thread for details. 2. Historically, the media have covered any hint of financial entanglements between a U.S. president and foreigners as a scandal meriting extensive coverage.

In the 1990s there was Chinagate. In 2016, foreign donations to the Clinton Foundation. Then Hunter Biden's foreign income.

1. Trump is ensnared in a SERIOUS POLITICAL CRISIS over his handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files

It is a crisis of his own making

Epstein was a real pedophile

But the origin of the crisis is QAnon — the fabricated claim that top Democrats are secretly involved in a Satanic pedophile ring 2. For years, Trump has encouraged QAnon and reinforced their beliefs.

Trump praised the movement as "people that love our country."

Trump also reinforced their belief that he was exposing a satanic pedophile ring.

1. The FCC has suspended a rule, schedule to go in effect this year, that would have banned prisons from price gouging on phone calls.

Right now, at some jails, a 15-minute phone call can cost over $11.

The decision benefits some of Trump's top donors. 2. The rule scrapped by Trump's FCC would do two things.

First, it would cap the rates jails and prisons could charge for phone calls.

Second, it would ban kickbacks from telecom companies to prisons.

1. In 2024, Trump said he would deport every undocumented immigrant in the country. "I think you have to do it," Trump said. "They came in illegally."

He said "illegals" were "poisoning the blood of our country."

Then, for a few days, he abruptly reversed course.

Why? Let's follow the money 2. In a Truth Social post last week, Trump said his "very aggressive policy on immigration" was taking "very good, long time workers" away from the agricultural and hospitality industries. These workers, Trump said, are "almost impossible to replace." Therefore, "Changes are coming!

Now, JNIM is "using real-time maps, encrypted messaging platforms, and even live streams to plan and secure attacks with incredible coordination," Dr. Obasesam Okoi told Musk Watch.

One member called the district librarians "child abusers." 2. The State Board summarily declared that Judy Blume's Forever and 54 other works of literature were "pornography," even though none of the books met the legal definition of pornographic material.

Many of the targeted books are award-winning literature that have been read by students for years.
