Trump Announces 'Liberation Day in DC'

You have to hand it to the Democrats. Their determination to throw a hissy fit every time Trump does something is unwavering. 





No matter how common-sensical a proposal, how much it is grounded in the Constitution, or how popular the policy, Democrats will loudly protest and cry “fascism” and “Nazi!” when Trump speaks. 

Trump could mention the importance of breating clean air for good health and Democrats would pick up smoking to spite him. 

The latest round of insanity came on Monday, when President Trump announced that he was federalizing the police force in Washington, D.C. and mobilizing the National Guard to clean up the streets of the District. 

Washington, you see, is one of the most dangerous cities in America–in the same basic category as Chicago, New Orleans, and Saint Louis. Its murder rates exceed those of Bogota and Mexico City–both famously dangerous cities. 





The city, which famously puts “Taxation Without Representation” on its license plates, wants to be a state. If it were, it would be the most dangerous in the country.

The magnitude of the violent crime crisis places the District of Columbia among the most violent jurisdictions in the United States.  In 2024, the District of Columbia averaged one of the highest robbery and murder rates of large cities nationwide.  Indeed, the District of Columbia now has a higher violent crime, murder, and robbery rate than all 50 States, recording a homicide rate in 2024 of 27.54 per 100,000 residents.  It also experienced the Nation’s highest vehicle theft rate with 842.4 thefts per 100,000 residents — over three times the national average of 250.2 thefts per 100,000 residents.  The District of Columbia is, by some measures, among the top 20 percent of the most dangerous cities in the world.

As President, I have a solemn duty to take care that our laws are faithfully executed, and a sacred responsibility to protect the safety and security of United States citizens who live in and visit our Nation’s capital, including Federal workers who live or commute into the District of Columbia.  These conditions cannot persist.  We will make the District of Columbia one of the safest cities in the world, not the most dangerous.





We all know the story of “Big Balls,” who was assaulted by 10 teens who tried to carjack him and his date. He defended her, suffering serious injuries in the process. But his was just another in a series of such attacks. 

Liberals are screaming that D.C. is not as bad as it was in 2023, which is true. But that is like saying that Kamala Harris was a better presidential candidate than Joe Biden–in other words, so what? 2025’s D.C. may not be prowled by Snake Plissken combing the city for the president, but if your capital city is less safe than Bogota, you have a problem. 

Not to mention the fact that DC is cooking the books to make things look better than they are. As usual, you cannot trust what the Pravda Media and the Establishment say. 





One thing the establishmentarians ARE saying is that they don’t care what happens to people, as long as those people aren’t themselves. It is a typical attitude among the elite, who view everyone not themselves as interchangeable and disposable. 

Liberals can’t wrap their minds around the idea that Americans are tired of watching everything get worse. We don’t want to be “decolonized” into oblivion. We want safe, orderly cities in which families can thrive and people can walk without jumping over homeless drug addicts, their excrement, and their government-provided needles. 





Somehow, civilization itself is racist. The left has been arguing this for years, yet too few people grasp that they mean exactly what they say. They believe our society should be destroyed, and are working hard to make it happen. 

I know that sounds like hyperbole, but all you need to do is listen and the liberals will tell you exactly what I have said here. 

What did you think decolonization would look like, anyway?
