CRIME STATISTICS IN THE USA
One of the worst lies the Democrats are trying to gaslight Americans with is that Crime is Down under Biden-Harris . I even hear it repeated from the Plebs . So I am going to put this piece from Jeff Childers up on the sidebar for all to reference if you get any resistance from friends and family to the truth that Crime has Skyrocketed in the usa under Biden ..after falling under Trump
The Washington Times ran a reverse-fact-check story yesterday headlined, “Data backs up Trump on crime increase, violence up under Biden-Harris administration.” So much for ABC’s debating fact-checkers.

On Tuesday night, after President Trump noted that violent crime is way up under Biden’s open-border “policy,” ABC moderator qua co-debater David Muir, fact-checked President Trump citing FBI data, and claimed that violent crime “is coming down in this country.”
ABC was wrong. It wasn’t just something the Washington Times came up with. The DOJ’s Bureau of Justice Statistics runs an annual National Crime Victimization Survey, which contacts about a quarter-million people in 150,000 households.
The BJS Survey’s conclusions, taken directly from citizen reports, flatly contradicted the FBI’s carefully collated crime data.
One disappointing trend disclosed by the study explained the deep disparity between the two agencies’ data: People seem to be giving up on reporting crimes at all. Only 44% of self-reported robbery victims said they filed a police report last year, down substantially from 64% in 2022. In 2020, 97% of police departments reported local crime data to the FBI. But by 2022, 31% weren’t reporting data at all, and another 24% were reporting incomplete data.
In other words, under Trump, nearly all local police departments reported their crime data to the FBI. Now, just three years later, over half of police departments don’t even bother.
A crime expert cited for the story concluded violent crime has increased overall by +37% under the Biden Administration, compared to a drop of -17% under the Trump Administration. Aggravated assaults fell by -24% under Trump, but accelerated +55% under Biden. Robbery reduced -6% under Trump, but rose +63% under Biden. Rape ran flat under Trump, but rose +42% under Biden.
In light of the news, Trump took a well-deserved victory lap yesterday on Truth Social:
Don’t hold your breath waiting for corporate media to fact-check ABC’s debate fact-checking.
The REAL crimes are all committed inside the Beltway.
Half the US believes whatever they are told. We are outnumbered by the morons.
In my best Billy C. voice – “It depends on what the meaning of the word ‘crime’ is.”
