Law enforcement in the United States has collapsed. Americans in many parts of the country see that products at CVS, Walgreens, and Walmart stores are behind plexiglass, that you must call a clerk to unlock the glass and then wait while you read and examine the different packages.

“Crime went down under Biden, and crime went up under Trump,” Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg claimed on Fox News Sunday. “Why would America want to go back to the higher crime we experienced under Donald Trump?”
“It’s no accident that violent crime is near a record 50-year low,” President Biden similarly claimed. And fact-checkers, at places like Politifact, rate Biden’s statement as “true.”

The FBI told two Senate committees in a hearing Tuesday that it has identified a possible social media account “believed to be associated with” the Trump rally shooter Thomas Crooks that reflects “anti-semitic” and “anti-immigrant” beliefs, suggesting for the first time a possible motive.
