The nation's capital is currently suffering a major crime wave, to which city officials including DC AG Brian Schwalb have offered no adequate solution
The number of DC carjackings - many of which are violent - has skyrocketed more than 600 percent in the last five years
One such incident on Monday night left a father-of-two dead, and a father-of-three in critical condition

Maybe it's time to look at population density thresholds for these urban centers. Maybe people who don't have a job or demonstrable legitimate business within the city limits should be excluded from those areas.
I can hear the howling now...

"cannot prosecute and arrest our way out"
We interpret this to mean "It would be political suicide to arrest all the Personses of Obvious Color committing crimes".
The good news is you do not have to. Crime is one of those things with a Pareto distribution - 20% of the criminal population commits 80% of the crime. Take the worst of the worst offenders off the street, and you take a big bite out of crime.
The bad news is you have to stop pandering and actually do your job.

Meanwhile in NYC: In New York City, five illegal aliens acting as a pack of wild dogs were caught-on-camera attacking two NYPD cops in Times Square. They were tracked down and arrested. However, after appearing in court, they immediately received bail.
As noted by the NY Post, “Footage of the incident on West 42nd Street shows an NYPD officer and lieutenant telling a group of migrants to move along before a scuffle breaks out. The officers sustained kicks and punches as they attempted to wrestle some of the individuals to the ground.”
In an update, after receiving bail the five assault criminals have now hopped a charity bus heading to California to avoid prosecution."
[Federalist] The masculinity crisis presents an existential risk to civilization.
Men continue to overdose, drop out, and kill themselves at alarming rates. Millions of children are being raised in single-mother households. Men are retreating from society. They continue to disappear from the workforce, refuse to join the military, and build fewer close friendships.
In an America post-material scarcity and post-sexual revolution, men have been told they are obsolete. They’re not welcome on campus, they’re not welcome in the workforce, and they’re not welcome in positions of influence unless they’re willing to capitulate to leftwing orthodoxy.
Enter Nick Adams. Adams is a conservative, Australian-American author who leads an online community of aspiring "Alpha Males" primarily consisting of 15- to 35-year-olds. Adams’ new book Alpha Kings, according to its website, is meant to provide "the roadmap for every young man to unlock their full potential."
Adams’s book contains a good amount of wisdom from his life experiences, from recalling how his education in an all-boys school in Sydney, Australia, taught him the importance of male friendship to recounting how his father once chastised him for poor posture to emphasizing that men must be particular when selecting a mate. Through relaying anecdotes and observation, Adams shows young men that they can, in fact, thrive despite the anti-male sentiment of our era.
But here’s the thing: Adams is one cheeky bloke. It’s partially why people find him so endearing and others find him offensive. You either get his sense of humor or you don’t. Sure, Adams is a die-hard Republican who would "bathe in a pool of molten hot lava if it meant President Trump would return to the White House for 4 more years," but have you also considered that he might not be serious about immolating himself?
I remember having a conversation with a commie about alternate economic systems, which this is, government as a middle-broker between private transactions; you pay taxes, taxes go through government to welfare, which theoretically suppresses the recipients' wage/hour.
I said, "you do that, and you will see a cash and barter system instead."

[REGNUM] The British newspaper Financial Times published a very remarkable article entitled “The Dangers Facing Us in a Chaotic and Unpredictable World,” which bluntly states that today we are experiencing a “democratic recession.” “Hostility towards the fundamental norms of liberal democracy is gaining momentum even in Western countries. The reason for this was economic disappointment, political failure and destructive social changes,” writes the author of the article.

Nonsense. It has nothing to do with ideology.
As long as there was a threat of Soviet Union, Western decision makers (not necessarily elected ones) kept some touch with reality. Without the threat they (being trained seals of leftard academic pseudo-education) went completely crazy.
That's why, by the way, there is a war in Ukraine - restored Russia is a deadly threat to all their dreams.
[JustTheNews] "They're laundering money and taking cash back through the ports of entry and they're taking guns back," Biggs said
Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., proposed "southbound interdiction operations" to stop illegal arms trading by the Mexican cartels at the southern border.
"We see far more cross-border traffic going north in between the ports of entry, including the areas where they're getting away," Biggs said on the Tuesday edition of the "Just the News, No Noise" TV show.
"We see very few people going back," he added. "They're taking money. They're laundering money and taking cash back through the ports of entry and they're taking guns back. Every time we've done a port of entry southbound operation, usually for very short periods of time, we've had tremendous success interdicting weapons and money."
According to CBS News, intelligence documents came out last year that showed Mexican drug cartels paying Americans to smuggle weapons across the border. Officials told the outlet that the U.S. government is aware of the issue, but has taken few steps to address it.
Biggs asserted that in some areas of Mexico, the government is under the control of the cartels.
"The cartels are so well armed now, and quite frankly ... we had this report about six weeks ago ... normally the corruption is that the the government is taking bribes to protect the criminal," he explained. "In this instance, however, many cities or villages and towns of Mexico, you're actually seeing that the cartels control the government and the government is having to pay protection money to the cartels."
