Not unlike having to revise the jobs number, now the FBI quietly revises the violent crime numbers by 6.6%.
Strange their erroneous numbers are always off in their favor ???
FBI quietly changed violent crime data to show increase, not decrease, from 2021 to 2022
WASHINGTON (TNND) - The FBI quietly adjusted its annual crime data to show an increase in violent crime from 2021 to 2022.
The agency previously claimed violent crime decreased from 2021 to 2022, touting "an estimated 1.7%" decrease in violent crime between the two calendar years. The revised data, which was first identified by RealClearInvestigations, shows violent crime actually increased during that timeframe.
FBI data summaries reviewed by The National News Desk show the agency originally reported1,253,716 violent crimes in 2021 and 1,232,428 violent crimes in 2022, representing the 1.7% decrease it originally advertised. The updated data summary reported 1,197,930 violent crimes in 2021 and1,256,671 in 2022, showing a starkly different 4.9% jump.

So glad the election is right around the corner. Only want to deal with one emergency at a time.
Silver jumped out over $33. Gold blew through 2700
This could break the banks that have been shorting silver to suppress the price.These prices are relative to dollars so there is that.
Edit: However they spin it there it is:

Back for a bit again. Ignore me if you like.
It was a self sufficient program that was supposed to pay for itself. Big pile of money was sitting there and someone ran off with it.Ok, ok someone promised to pay it back. But how can they pay it back with continuous tax cuts? Answer me that Sherlock? And suddenly it because a high priority budget item! Where is the tar and the saw?
Increasing violent crime is good dummy. It means more money to law enforcement not accountability for those who claim their purpose is to stop crime. No their purpose is to get more money. Just like immigration (why else would they vote against reforms) and the war on drugs (LOL - if there ever was a more obvious misuse of public funds).
Effing scoundrels - maybe one day you'll understand that you are a tool of the oppressors?

In the form of tariffs. A 20% across-the-board tariff? That's nothing more than a consumption tax.
And contrary to what some might believe, other countries don't pay it unless the people from those countries come here to shop.
We'll pay it. About $4 trillion.
Depends on who wins next month. The president has the authority in most cases to enact tariffs without congressional approval.

Don't say that word.
...56% of Americans polled have a favorable view of tariffs.
Apparently, they're confused and don't realize that tariffs are taxes.
Before the Constitution was amended to allow taxes on income, the US funded itself with tariffs.
The blissful counterstroke-a considerable new message.
It's like a tax increase but the money is often like a windfall for the industries that have failed to be competitive with those whose products are being tariffed. Why be competitive when subsidies are coming via tariffs?
Tax increases are a more efficient when it comes to to funding public services and reducing deficit spending (which is a big way wealth is being transferred from working Americans to the wealthy).
It would be nice if wages/salaries of working Americans have had the same gains as worker productivity. Without the gross income disparity in America today an across the board tax increase would be fair, but with the great unfairness of sharing the gains with the workforce it just can't happen. Such a thing would put and even greater burden on the safety net.
It's like a catch-22. I've always thought that the cut taxes and big spending policies of the once fiscally conservatives was a break the bank agenda in order destroy SS and Medicare/Medicaid. Kind of like putting American workers on par with workers from 3rd world nations who are forced to work for peanuts is ultimately the goal.
I think it was stupid to have removed them in the first place.
But we're too far down the globalism road now to turn around without serious consequences. Those tariffs will do for the US what Brexit did for Britain; take a sledgehammer to an economy that's pretty much humming along.
I seriously doubt that the goal is to protect jobs, since the guaranteed recession or depression that results from pretty much everything costing 20% (or 30% or 60% depending on what time of day it is) more will lose us millions of jobs when people have to cut back. And when our trading partners retaliate.
I think the goal is to shift the burden of taxation away from the wealthy and on to everybody else.
And really, it's woke as hell. Consumption is the main driver of global warming and many of us Lefties have been proposing consumption taxes for years.

as an economic sanction against unfair labor practices in specific nations. I think steel is one of them. It might have some benefit for American steel but not such a good thing for American industries that use steel. Some of this might be have an effect on labor practices in other countries but seems more symbolic than anything else.If we had a gainfully employed working class the detrimental economic effects of higher prices due to tariffs might be easier to take but with America's week to week middle class it's be mostly pain and suffering and for many industries as well. And again just pure higher taxes would be better than tariffs as a good chunk of the tariffs will go to industries effected by them. Higher taxes should go to keeping government delivering the services and benefits they've promised to deliver.
Everything I've read has said Trump style tariffs are a bad idea. Americans get by because of low prices afforded by imported products and have for generations.

Reagan put tariffs on foreign steel, too late to help the US steel industry. He put tariffs on foreign motorcycles, too, and his voluntary import restraints on Japanese cars just resulted in higher car prices across the board.
Same with Obama's tariff on Chinese automobile tires. Domestic tire manufacturers raised prices to keep in line with Chinese made tires.
Tariffs create a price vacuum, and economics abhors a vacuum as much as nature does.
And we aren't going to save any jobs.
IMO, we need to increase revenue. No doubt about it. But there are much better, fairer ways.
And it'll be interesting to see how the MAGA crowd rationalizes 20% inflation.

WTF would we do without you?
Who else would dispel all of the commonly held myths here ?
Someone has to do it even though they will most likely continue to cling to the faux myths they have been fed daily for the last 3 years.
Oh, and it really was just a cold sore !!! =)

The radical leftist enemy within must be rooted out. Military action may be necessary.
Are you any relation to Joe McCarthy?

Some folk here might say that and I'd recognize them for being the asshole they are.
