    When President Trump deployed National Guard troops to Washington, D.C., condemnation from Democrats was swift and withering. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D - NY) declared, “No f‑‑‑ing way” would he agree to extending the deployment beyond 30 days, saying. “We’ll fight him tooth and nail.” After Mayor Muriel Bowser said, “The fact that we have more law enforcement and presence in neighborhoods, that may be positive,” she reverted to the official Democrat Party line, telling community leaders they need to “protect our city and to protect our autonomy, to protect our Home Rule, and get to the other side...

    The recent federal takeover of Washington, D.C., appears to have had the intended effect of improving public safety, and the Trump administration is now on a roll, working not only to clean up the streets but to make private gun ownership great again in America's capital. One major step the administration has taken is to make the process of applying for concealed-carry permits easier. According to a recent report from Fox News Digital, Trump's Making D.C. Safe and Beautiful Task Force is doing just that. Trump established the task force — comprising members of the Departments of the Interior, Homeland...

    The Metropolitan Police Department is embroiled in controversy over allegations related to its reported crime statistics. The Washington, D.C., department placed Police Commander Michael Pulliam on paid administrative leave in May after a police union accused the MPD of deliberately manipulating crime data, several law enforcement sources told WRC-TV. Pulliam, who is under investigation, denied the allegations. Gregg Pemberton, the chairman of the D.C. Police Union, a branch of the Fraternal Order of Police, explained to WRC how the statistics are manipulated to make it appear that crime has declined. The union also warned about a larger trend of supervisors...

    The Daily Caller ^ | May 27, 2025 | Hudson Crozier
    Conservative and pro-life groups are again asking the Department of Justice (DOJ) to investigate five fetuses found near a Washington, D.C. clinic in 2022 now that President Donald Trump is back in office. Nine organizations sent a letter Tuesday to U.S. Attorney Jeanine Ferris Pirro sounding the alarm about pro-life activists’ discovery of the bodies in containers from the Washington Surgi-Clinic. Some of the babies discovered were so large that they brought suspicion of illegal partial-birth or post-birth abortions, and the Biden administration only prosecuted those who protested at the clinic in 2020. “In 2022, pro-life activists in Washington, D.C.,...

    A crazed gunman shouted 'Free Palestine' after he shot and killed two Israeli embassy staff members outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington D.C. The suspect, identified as Elias Rodriguez, was pacing back and forth before allegedly opening fire on a group of four people who were standing outside the museum. Rodriguez then entered the building, where he was taken into custody. Israel's Ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon described it as a 'depraved act of anti-Semitic terrorism.' He said: 'The shooting outside the event at the Jewish Museum in Washington – in which Israeli embassy employees were also...

    Eighteen states sued the Trump administration Monday over its halting of permits for wind-energy projects, arguing that its actions posed an existential threat to the burgeoning industry.“This administration is devastating one of our nation’s fastest-growing sources of clean, reliable and affordable energy,” said Attorney General Letitia James of New York, which is one of the plaintiffs. She said the halt threatened “the loss of thousands of good-paying jobs and billions in investments” and was “delaying our transition away from the fossil fuels that harm our health and our planet.”The halt on federal permits for wind energy was first laid out...

    Mark Zuckerberg is the latest billionaire to shell out tens of millions of dollars for a pricey outpost in Donald Trump’s gilded capital.For a month, neighbors in Washington’s upscale Woodland Normanstone neighborhood have speculated about the unidentified buyer who paid $23 million in cash for a 15,000-square-foot mansion. The sale was the third-most expensive in city history and was shrouded in secrecy, with real estate agents muzzled by non-disclosure agreements. Soon after the deal went through in early March, images of the house became pixelated on Google Maps.But on Monday, the same day flight-tracking web sites revealed that the Meta...

    A disgruntled United Airlines passenger punched a gate agent in the face which knocked the airport staffer to the ground, leaving him unconscious. The violent outburst happened last Thursday evening at 5:30pm at Virginia's Dulles International Airport by gate D12 when Christopher Stuart Crittenden, a 54-year-old man from Frederick, Maryland, suddenly lost control and lashed out. Video footage, which has since gone viral, captures the moment as Crittenden strides toward the gate agent and without warning swings his fist striking the unsuspecting employee squarely in the face. The force of the impact was so severe the agent instantly fell to...

    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...
