    Hi John… just sent another $50 your way. More when I can. Quick question. Judge Napolitano says all forms of Red Flag laws are, on their face, unconstitutional. The reason being that, while some versions appear to have some level of “due process”, in the end a person is deprived of a basic right (one found in the Bill of Rights … the 2nd Amendment, no less), based on the premise that at some time in the future he “might” commit a crime. He goes on to say that never in the history of jurisprudence has this ever been upheld.

    When you discuss the shortcoming of Red Flag Laws, I have not heard you make note of this. Do you have comments.

    Thanks John. Keep up the good work!!

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...
