A new report shows that Democrat policies in cities and counties are responsible for rising
crime rates in "their otherwise red states."

The Heritage Foundation today released a 19-page report titled "The Blue City Murder

Problem" that includes analysis on crime data and explores who is responsible for rising
crime throughout the U.S. (The Daily Signal is Heritage's multimedia news organization.)

"Those on the Left know that their soft-on-crime policies have wreaked havoc in the cities
where they have implemented those policies, " authors Charles Stimson, Zack Smith, and
Kevin D. Dayaratna, who are scholars in the Edwin Meese III Center for Judicial and Legal
Studies at The Heritage Foundation, wrote in the report.

The authors continued:

It is not hard to understand why 'reforms' such as ending cash bail, defunding the police, refusing to prosecute entire categories 
of crimes, letting thousands of convicted felons out of prison early, significantly cutting the prison population, and other 
'progressive' ideas have led to massive spikes in crime-particularly violent crime, including murder-in the communities where those 
on the Left have implemented them. 

As of June 2022, the top three cities with the highest homicide rates include Chicago, with
304 homicides; Philadelphia, with 240 homicides; and New York, with 197 homicides, the
report said.

The report also highlighted that 27 of the top 30 cities with the highest murder rates as of June 2022 were run by Democratic 
mayors, except for Lexington, Kentucky, and Jacksonville, Florida, which are run by Republican mayors, and Las Vegas, which has an 
independent mayor

The Blue City Murder ProblemDownload More specifically, 14 of the 30 cities with the highest murder rates 
have " Soros- backed or Soros-inspired rogue prosecutors, " the report said

Some of the prosecutors include: New Orleans Parish District Attorney Jason Williams Milwaukee County 
District Attorney John T

Chisholm Baltimore City State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby St

Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner Cook County, Illinois, State's 
Attorney Kim Foxx "There were 2,554 homicides in those 30 cities through June 2022

In the 14 cities with Soros-backed rogue prosecutors, there were 1,752 homicides, representing 68% of 
homicides in the 30 top homicide cities in the United States," the report said

The report was written in response to another report released in March titled "The Red State Murder Problem" 
by Third Way, which is "a national think tank that champions modern center-left ideas," according to its 
website

"When you remove the crime-infested, homicide-riddled cities from the state murder rate featured in the Third 
Way study, you dramatically lower the murder rate for that state, upending their conclusions and exposing the 
piece for what it really is: a straightforward attempt at political projection dressed up as a 'study, '" The Heritage 
Foundation report said

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on Thursday that Republican-run states have "the highest crime 
levels" during an appearance on CNN

Hillary Clinton: "The states with the highest crime levels are states run by Republicans

Blue cities, cunt? Blue people.

"Trump Derangement Syndrome" Is a Real Mental Condition

All you need to know about "Trump Derangement Syndrome, " or TDS.

"Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a person has been driven effectively insane due to their dislike 
of Donald Trump, to the point at which they will abandon all logic and reason."

Justin Raimondo, the editorial director of Antiwar.com, wrote a piece in the Los Angeles Times in 2016 that broke TDS down into 
three distinct phases or stages:

"In the first stage of the disease, victims lose all sense of proportion. The president-elect's every tweet provokes a firestorm, 
as if 140 characters were all it took to change the world."

"The mid-level stages of TDS have a profound effect on the victim's vocabulary: Sufferers speak a distinctive language consisting 
solely of hyperbole."

"As TDS progresses, the afflicted lose the ability to distinguish fantasy from reality."

The Point here is simple: TDS is, in the eyes of its adherents, the knee-jerk opposition from liberals to anything and everything 
Trump does. If Trump announced he was donating every dollar he's ever made, TDS sufferers would suggest he was up to something 
nefarious, according to the logic of TDS. There's nothing - not. one. thing. - that Trump could do or say that would be received 
positively by TDSers.

The history of Trump Derangement Syndrome actually goes back to the early 2000s - a time when the idea of Trump as president was a 
punch line for late-night comics and nothing more.

Wikipedia traces its roots to "Bush Derangement Syndrome" - a term first coined by the late conservative columnist Charles 
Krauthammer back in 2003. The condition, as Krauthammer defined it, was "the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people in 
reaction to the policies, the presidency - nay - the very existence of George W. Bush."
