NRA members aren't the ones who killed over 700 in 2023.
Chicago led nation in homicides for 12th year in a row in 2023, murder rate
still 5 times higher than NYC's - Wirepoints
January 3,2024
Update 1/3/24: San Antonio's homicide numbers in the first graphics have been
corrected.
By: Ted Dabrowski and John Klingner
Count on hearing repeatedly this year from Chicago's leadership that it
successfully brought down the city's murder total by 13% in 2023. Chicago
finished the year with 617 homicides, down from 709 in 2022. That's 92 fewer
murders and good news.
But what you're unlikely to hear are five additional facts that would temper
any optimism gained from that first fact:
1. Murders across the country fell at record levels in 2023. Overall,
homicides nationally are expected to drop 13%, about the same as in Chicago.
And murders in other big homicide hotspots like Philadelphia, Baltimore and
New Orleans fell by 21 to 31%. Most big cities had bigger percentage drops
than Chicago did.
Below we lay out the 2023 data for the 10 homicide hubs in 2022, those cities
with the largest number of murders in the country in 2022.
2. Chicago's 617 homicides swamp that of its two big-city peers. NYC, which
has more than triple Chicago's population, had just 386 murders in 2023. Los
Angeles, with 1.2 million more people than Chicago, had just 328 murders.
Chicago's 617 homicides led the country for the 12th straight year.
3. Chicago's murder rate per 100,000 residents, while down slightly in 2023,
was the 2nd-highest among the nation's biggest cities. Overall, only
Philadelphia had a worse murder rate than Chicago among peer cities with
populations greater than 1.5 million.
And when it comes to New York City, Chicago's murder rate remained 5 times
higher. If Chicago had had the same murder rate as NYC's, Chicago would have
experienced only 121 murders in 2023, not 617.
4. Chicago's 617 murder total in 2023 was still up 23% when compared to pre-
covid, pre-George Floyd 2019's 500 murders.
5. Despite the 13% drop in homicides, Chicago's major crimes jumped by a total
of 16% in 2023. Robberies were up 23%. Aggravated batteries, up 6%. Thefts and
criminal sexual assaults were both up 3% each. And motor vehicle thefts spiked
by 37% to reach a total of nearly 30,000 car thefts. And all that was after
major crimes had already jumped 40% between 2022 and 2021.
Overall, 2023 major crimes hit a post-covid record of more than 77,500. That's
55% higher compared to 2019.
Still leading
Expect all kinds of spin on Chicago's crime numbers in 2024, especially in
anticipation of the Democratic National Convention in August and elections in
November.
It's why we created the Chicago Weekly Crime Tracker so you can easily see for
yourself what's happening across the city.

===========================================================================
Rudy, the Compulsive Liar
A compulsive liar excesively lies to fabricate reality. Compulsive liars are
those who lie over and over again. The dishonest behavior is second nature to
them, and they may not even realize they're lying half the time (despite
displaying the classic signs of a liar). While compulsively lying isn't
classified as a disorder, it can be a sign of other mental health disorders,
such as antisocial personality disorder.
Reasoning: Compulsive liars often make up stories and white lies because they
fear criticism. For them, lying is a defense mechanism to protect them from
reality.
How to Deal: Don't engage in a compulsive liar's lies. Instead, state simply,
"That's not true," and walk away.
The terms "compulsive" and "habitual" are often used interchangeably.
Rudy, the Pathological Liar
A pathological liar is persistently dishonest for no reason. These liars tell
small lies compulsively and habitually-it comes naturally to them. More often
than not, their reality becomes tangled with their lies, mixing fact and
fiction. Perhaps they exaggerate a story or don't tell the truth about what
they had for breakfast. A pathological liar can have such a strong belief in
their lies that they believe them to be true.
Reasoning: Pathological liars tend to have low self-esteem and will often lie
to boost their ego, seek sympathy, or cure boredom.
How to Deal: Stop engaging in the conversation if you notice that they're
lying. Pathological liars want you to believe what they believe, and if you
don't indulge in the lie, they'll likely move on.
Like compulsive liars, pathological lying may be a sign of a personality or
mental-health disorder; however, it's more difficult to spot a pathological
liar.
Rudy, the Sociopathic Liar
A sociopathic liar lies on a routine basis to cause chaos. Their lying doesn't
start or end on occasion; it's constant. Unlike other types of liars, a
sociopath lies simply because they want to. There's no rhyme or reason to it,
and they rarely feel remorse for their actions.
Reasoning: Sociopathic liars lie to gratify their own needs. They want what
they want and won't hesitate to burn a few bridges to get it.
How to Deal: Be honest with a sociopathic liar to derail their schemes. Call
out their blatant lie with facts you know to be true with something like,
"Really? See, I heard something different."
Sociopathic and psychopathic lying are generally the same thing, with the only
difference being the personality disorder associated with their dishonesty.
Rudy, the Narcissistic Liar
A narcissistic liar seeks attention but denies responsibility. These types of
liars use gaslighting to fuel their lies. They may appear to be a "people
person," but their social connections often stem from exaggerations and lies.
A narcissist's lies may seem childish, as their lies are a people-pleasing
game.
Reasoning: Narcissistic liars twist the truth to hide themselves. Deep down,
they're insecure and will do whatever it takes not to be vulnerable.
How to Deal: Don't engage in a narcissistic liar's drama. Instead, take what
they say with a grain of salt and analyze the facts. If what they say
contradicts what you know, it's probably a lie.
Narcissistic liars are a type of compulsive liar; however, they appear to be a
hero or victim when fabricating their reality.
Rudy, the Intentional Liar
An intentional liar lies for enjoyment. These types of liars love the drama
lying creates. They think lying is fun-an entertaining game they can play
whenever they like. More often than not, their white lies, fibs, and
exaggerations are mean-spirited and intended to stir the pot or push someone's
buttons.
Reasoning: Intentional liars are deceptive for attention. They're likely
insecure and lie to boost their ego and appear powerful.
How to Deal: Avoid engaging in lies and gossip with an intentional liar. The
more you react to their lies, the more lies they'll create.
Unlike pathological liars, intentional liars are fully aware of the dishonest
web they weave.
Rudy, the Careless Liar
A careless liar doesn't care about the implications of lying. This type of
liar is often sloppy or careless when it comes to bending the truth. They
likely won't try to hide it or put much thought into forming the "perfect
lie." Instead, they'll spew whatever comes to mind, often leading to further
lies or conversational hiccups.
Reasoning: Careless liars typically lie on the spot to cover up a mistake,
fear, or insecurity. The lie hastily comes out to protect themselves from
facing the truth.
How to Deal: Call a careless liar out on their lie to halt them in their
tracks. They know they're lying, and confronting them and genuinely asking how
they're doing may help them admit it.
A careless liar's lies are usually easy to spot because they don't formulate a
clever story or tale beforehand.
Rudy, the Impressive Liar
An impressive liar aims to be the best. This type of liar wants to be the most
impressive of the group. They'll exaggerate stories and tell white lies to
look like the hero. For instance, the classic "I caught a fish this big" tale
is often told by an impressive liar.
Reasoning: Impressive liars want to feel self-assured and liked by others and
often lie to hide insecurities or embarrassment.
How to Deal: Let an impressive liar's lie roll off you. If something sounds
too good to be true, say, "Yeah, sure," and walk away or change the topic.
An impressive liar doesn't lie to be malicious or mean-spirited. They lie to
fabricate the truth to match their wild version of reality.
Rudy, the Encouraging Liar
An Encouraging liar lies to welcome conflict. Encouraging liars lie to scheme,
manipulate, or intentionally harm; they lie to keep the argument going.
Conflict is their best case scenario, and these liars often dance around the
truth to court confrontation.
Reasoning: Encouraging liars are likely dishonest to further confrontation.
How to Deal: Don't let an Encouraging liar drag you away from an important
conversation.
Encouraging liars usually lie every day; however, the more they lie, the
easier it'll become and the more often they'll do it.

"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."
