Congratulations to John Whitley: Our former Research Director for his appointment as assistant secretary of the Army for financial management and comptroller

Feb 2, 2018 | Featured

John Whitley was our research director up until the end of December.  We are pleased to mention that President Trump has appointed him to be assistant secretary of the Army for financial management and comptroller.  John will be overseeing hundreds of billions of dollars in government spending, and we can’t think of a better person to fill this role.  John has been with us since the CPRC was founded in 2013.  We will definitely miss John at the CPRC.

    I think he will make a great Assistant Sec of the Army. The Senate needs to do its duty and bring him up for a vote on his confirmation. The “resistance” blocking President Trumps nominitees from a vote on confirmation is not good for having and efficient government.

UPDATE: Data directly from the Federal Police shows a different set of numbers (Original Post below). The number of CAC licenses in Brazil increased from 867,472 in 2022 to 1,026,633 in 2026 (see screenshots below), but those are internal government numbers that links...

So is there really a question of whether Trump reduced crime in DC? Did the Washington Post inaccurately report murder data to make the drop look smaller than it actually is?

The Washington Post doesn't really want to give President Trump credit for the drop in crime in DC. Please look at the graph above and notice that there was a discrete change in August and September 2025 (and the change only started about half way through August on...
