    Workers in Washington, D.C., have started the process of dismantling Black Lives Matter Plaza — including the bright yellow mural that has been on 16th Street since the race riots of June 2020. D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser ordered the eyesore painted a block away from the White House after George Floyd’s death. Bowser described the city-sanctioned vandalism as a show of “solidarity,” but it was widely mocked as pandering — even by the left. The 35-foot-tall letters cost taxpayers over $4 million to install and maintain. Congress passed the removal of the mural after Republican Rep. Andrew Clyde introduced a...

    On Thursday, Utah Sen. Mike Lee and Tennessee Rep. Andy Ogles introduced the “Bringing Oversight to Washington and Safety to Every Resident (BOWSER) Act” in Congress, named after D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser. The proposed bill would revoke the D.C. Home Rule Act of 1973, which allows the city to have control of its own local affairs, including the ability to elect a mayor, a council of representatives and Advisory Neighborhood Commissioners who manage neighborhood concerns.

    After years of a strained relationship, President-elect Donald Trump and Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser met Monday to discuss shared priorities. Bowser, a Democrat, said in a statement it was a “great meeting” and that she and Trump “want Washington, DC to be the best, most beautiful city in the world and we want the capital city to reflect the strength of our nation.” As The Hill notes, the two had previously met in 2016 and were initially on good terms, but the relationship declined over the years.In 2018, Trump said he was canceling a military parade through D.C., blaming...

    The J6 riot was not an insurrection but a protest that escalated into an out-of-control riot because then-Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund was denied intelligence about potential threats that day and denied National Guard backup that he was begging for. In the cold light of hindsight, a new Trump administration will ensure that the narrative of J6 is rewritten to reflect the truth of that tragic day instead of the lies spun by Democrat Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi’s J6 committee. Sund is a crucial witness to history. Pelosi made him her scapegoat, firing him immediately, but she knew that he...

    Washington, DC, Mayor Muriel Bowser (D) asked on Tuesday for a meeting with President-elect Donald Trump, who vowed to help the District reduce increased crime rates since he left the White House. The District currently ranks 172 in safety on a list of 182 American cities, according to a study recently released by WalletHub. Crime, such as reported carjacking offenses, remain much more frequent than they did under Trump’s first term, according to police data. District officials defunded the police in 2023 by 1.7 percent, while U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Matthew Graves, who is responsible for prosecuting...

    Washington DC will hand out free AirTags to residents to track stolen cars in light of the rising levels of crime. Mayor Muriel Bowser announced in a press conference that residents living in areas with the highest reports of carjackings will receive a free tracking device. Free AirTags will be distributed at three different events held from November 7-9 and residents will have to show proof of residency and an address that matches the eligible areas. Bowser said at the press conference: 'These tags and tiles will help MPD recover stolen vehicles and hold people accountable. 'The word will also...

    Washington, DC, Mayor Muriel Bowser (D) introduced a crime bill on Monday that includes a ban on criminals wearing masks — after she mandated face coverings during the Chinese coronavirus. “We need to act now,” Bowser told reporters about the soaring crime. “And we need to send the strong message that violence is not acceptable in our city — and this perception that people have, that you can commit a brazen crime and get away with it, has got to stop.” “This legislation will change that,” she claimed. In 2020, Bowser issued an edict that forced people to wear a...

    Washington DC Mayor Muriel Bowser flipped the script on George Floyd-era police reforms Monday by introducing new legislation to address skyrocketing crime in the nation’s capital. Speaking from Ward Four, Bowser, a Democrat, rolled out the proposal deemed the Addressing Crime Trends (ACT) Now Act, which clarifies the distinction between a serious use of force and incidental contact with the neck, ensures officers can review their body-worn camera footage prior to writing their initial police report in certain circumstances, makes permanent clarification of vehicular pursuit and defines what information will be posted publicly related to officer discipline. “MPD continues to...

    The owner of a restaurant shut down by Washington, D.C., officials for violating the city’s strict COVID-19 vaccine mandate sued the city on Oct. 13. Eric Flannery owns The Big Board. Washington authorities in February ordered the restaurant to close, citing violations of food code regulations and Mayor Muriel Bowser’s requirements that venues only let in customers who presented proof of COVID-19 vaccination. The D.C. Department of Health’s actions, including making the restaurant pay a re-opening fee, were unlawful because the District of Columbia’s Home Rule Act generally requires legislation enacted by the city be reviewed by Congress, according to...

    The mayor of the city of Washington has declared a public emergency over the influx of illegal immigrants into the nation’s capital. Mayor Muriel Bowser announced the emergency on Sept. 8. The city has received some 9,400 illegal aliens from the states of Texas and Arizona, according to her office. “Our response involves how can we live up to our values and make sure we have a humane, efficient process to deal with a crisis not of our making,” Bowser, a Democrat, told reporters during a briefing. The declaration enables the mayor to establish a new office, the Office of...

    This week, Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser announced that “no unvaccinated child will be permitted to receive instruction in any school building unless they get vaccinated within the first 20 days of the Fall semester.” She also rejected the option of continuing remote lessons, saying “we’re not offering remote learning for children. Families will need to comply with what is necessary to come to school. Look, the remote lessons we have been offering have not been satisfactory. Too many parents have quibbled over the content. We need to return to direct in-person instruction free of parental scrutiny and interference.” More...

    Officials in Washington, D.C., are delaying enforcement of the school COVID-19 vaccine mandate after a federal judge struck down vaccination requirements for city workers. Students aged 12 and older who do not receive a COVID-19 vaccine will not be barred from school until Jan. 3, 2023, the D.C. Office of the State Superintendent of Education (OSSE) said on Aug. 27. Before the change, students who did not provide proof of COVID-19 vaccination were going to be prohibited from attending classes just 20 days after the school year started. The office’s immunization attendance policy, for instance, states, “Schools are not permitted...

    Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ), who is up for reelection in November, voted for a bill that economists say drove inflation. Now, Phoenix, Arizona, is seeing the highest rates of inflation in the country. Kelly voted in favor of a bill dubbed the “American Rescue Act” early last year. Since its passage, economists have noted that the bill is one of the driving forces behind inflation. Even economists associated with the Democrat party have noted that the American Rescue Plan has had disastrous effects. Jason Furman, a Harvard economist who previously chaired the White House Council of Economic Advisors for the...

    The District of Columbia does not appear to have a contingency plan for unvaccinated students, who are banned from attending schools in person this fall after the first twenty days, according to comments made by Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser Thursday. During a press conference, Bowser, a Democrat, admitted there are no alternative options, including virtual learning, for students who cannot attend school due to the District’s vaccine mandate, meaning unvaccinated children will effectively be left without an education. Over 40% of blacks ages 12-17 are not vaccinated, according to city data. The Daily Signal asked Bowser what the plan...

    "Recently Texas Governor Greg Abbott began sending busloads of ILLEGAL ALIENS (the proper term under U.S. Law for those in the United States of America without permission) to left wing hell holes such as New York City, NY, and Washington, DC. Hot on the heels of that NYC Mayor Eric Adams (D is for Dubious) and DC Mayor Muriel Bowser (D is for Devious) have begun complaining.

    On August 5, the Department of Defense denied D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser's request for the National Guard to help her with the thousands of illegal aliens that Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has bused into the city since April. Kelly Bulliner Holly, the executive secretary of the DOD, responded to Bowser's July 19 letter to the office of Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin, writing: "After careful consideration the Department has concluded it cannot fulfill your request." Holly highlighted the fact that the city already has access to federal funding through SAMU First Response, a non-governmental organization that has itself received...
