TRUMP ASSEMBLES TOP CABINET OFFICIALS TO CLEAN UP CRIME IN WASHINGTON DC

• August 7 2025
  
  
  President Donald Trump has directed federal law enforcement to increase its presence throughout Washington, D.C., following a concerning surge in violent crime, including an incident in which a former DOGE worker nicknamed "Big Balls" was brutally beaten in the streets this week.
  
  Trump signed an executive order in March establishing the "Making DC Safe and Beautiful Task Force." Now the administration is taking a whole-of-government approach by deploying additional law enforcement to increase presence and improve overall public safety in the nation’s capital city, according to a source familiar with the plans.
  
  The operation, which will use both local and federal law enforcement agencies, including Homeland Security Investigations, the FBI, DEA and others, begins at midnight on Thursday and will initially last for seven days with the option to extend "as needed."
  
  
  Law enforcement will focus on improving safety in high-traffic tourist areas and other known hotspots.
  
  
  In a statement to Fox News, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced "there will be no safe harbor for violent criminals in D.C." beginning on Thursday night.
  
  "Washington, DC is an amazing city, but it has been plagued by violent crime for far too long," Leavitt said. "President Trump has directed an increased presence of federal law enforcement to protect innocent citizens. Starting tonight, there will be no safe harbor for violent criminals in D.C."
  
  She added, "President Trump is committed to making our Nation’s capital safer for its residents, lawmakers, and visitors from all around the world."
  
  The source familiar with the plans noted that stamping out the "out-of-control violent crime plaguing DC" has been an "ongoing priority" for the president and that the move is him delivering on his campaign promise to restore the capital city.
  
  Among the priorities laid out in Trump’s executive order, he directed the task force to deploy a more robust federal law enforcement presence and coordinate with local law enforcement in the District of Columbia, including the National Mall and Memorial Parks, museums, monuments, Lafayette Park, Union Station, Rock Creek Park, Anacostia Park, the George Washington Memorial Parkway, the Suitland Parkway, and the Baltimore-Washington Parkway.
  
  The order also instructs the task force to review and, if needed, revise federal prosecutorial policies on pretrial detention of criminal defendants to ensure individuals who pose a threat to public safety are detained to the maximum extent permitted by law.
  
  Additionally, the order instructs the task force to direct maximum enforcement of federal immigration law, redirecting federal, state or local law enforcement resources to apprehend and deport illegals throughout the area.
  
  WATCH: TRUMP HINTS HE WILL FEDERALIZE DC SOON, BRING IN NATIONAL GUARD AFTER ‘BIG BALLS’ ATTACK
  
  The source said the additional law enforcement will be devoted to protecting D.C. residents and visitors from the "scourge of violent crime plaguing" the city.
  
  "President Trump promised to Make DC Safe Again on the campaign trail – this is another promise kept," they said.

I used "Gotham" in he ttile because some leftis on MSNBC mocked Trump as "thinking he's the mayor of Gotham", when reality is, Washington DC has a higher murder rate than any other city in the U.S., and really, than any dangerous city in the WORLD. Higher than Islamabad, Pakistan.
Higher than Havana, Cuba.
Higher than Mexico City, than Lima, Peru, than Baghdad, you name it.
Washington DC averages 45 killings per 100,000 annually, all these others average 13, 14, 15 per 100,000, so our nation's capitol is significantly more crime-prone and violent than a dozen other crime-ridden shithole capitols of nations worldwide.

Thanks to decades-long Democrat rule, our capitol is the worst shithole of all.


And Democrats, once again, flip out and go Trump Derangement Syndrome that Trump actually wants to take the necessary steps to clean i up.

Someone a month or so ago said if Trump said at a press conference he loved puppies, hundreds of Democrats nationwide would post videos online of themselves torturing puppies.

So much for the GOP being the party of small government!

If Obama or a Dem did this, the MAGA cult would be shitting themselves right about now...

Oh !
But the FBI and large cities have been telling us that crime is actually down since its undeniable huge spike during the Covid pandemic 5 years ago.

VIOLENT CRIME DECREASES TO PRE-PANDEMIC LEVELS, SAY ANNUAL FBI STAISTICS
"By and large what we’re seeing is simply a return to something approaching normal after the big changes associated with the pandemic."



Oh, Okay.

But wait, what's this...


DC police commander under investigation for 'deliberatedly manipulating' crime stats

• by CANDACE HATHAWAY, July 24, 2025
  Blaze Media
  
  
  
  The Metropolitan Police Department is embroiled in controversy over allegations related to its reported crime statistics.
  
  The Washington, D.C., department placed Police Commander Michael Pulliam on paid administrative leave in May after a police union accused the MPD of deliberately manipulating crime data, several law enforcement sources told WRC-TV.
  
  Pulliam, who is under investigation, denied the allegations.
  
  Gregg Pemberton, the chairman of the D.C. Police Union, a branch of the Fraternal Order of Police, explained to WRC how the statistics are manipulated to make it appear that crime has declined. The union also warned about a larger trend of supervisors instructing employees to engage in such practices.
  
  "When our members respond to the scene of a felony offense where there is a victim reporting that a felony occurred, inevitably there will be a lieutenant or a captain that will show up on that scene and direct those members to take a report for a lesser offense," Pemberton said. "So instead of taking a report for a shooting or a stabbing or a carjacking, they will order that officer to take a report for a theft or an injured person to the hospital or a felony assault, which is not the same type of classification."
  
  Pemberton stated that crimes that should be reported as involving a suspect armed with a dangerous weapon have instead been documented as felony assaults.

This goes at least back to the beginning of Barack Obama's administration in 2009, where Eric Holder's DOJ began manipulating annual FBI crime statistics --that had consistently compoled for 80 years--- bu were chaanged under Holder downplay and lower the numbers for black and minority crimes. One way for example, was if there were 2 or 4 or 6 crimes committed by an individual, they would only count the most severe crime, and toss out the others from the statistics.

This happens now in the Democrat-corrupted FBI, and it happens not only in Washington DC, butt in hundreds of cities nationwide.

You saw this also in Cincinatti a week ago, where several whies were almost beaten to death by a black mob, and the Cincinati Police chief was in uter denial his was happening in her ciy, and even scolding he media for even reporting it.

https://www.foxnews.com/video/6376309252112
And this woke propagandist still has a job, as she undermines the safety of the Cincinatti citizens she is in her position to protect.

The tthing is, Washington DC is a federal district, so that it does not give undue influence and advantage to any of the 50 states , to have the Capitol located within their state.
So uniquely, Washington DC is within federal jurisdiction, so unlike other major cities, it can be occupied by federal troops, to clean it up. Military are barred from being deployed in most U.S. cities, and only state police, or police aiding from other cities, or U.S. Marshalls, or FBI can Constitutionally be positioned in cities. I know in my region in Florida, the National Guard have been deployed after bad hurricanes like Andrew and Wilma, so there might be temporary exceptions in the case of national disasters, to restore order, tha migh be an excepttion tha would allow emporary deployment in other cities. I think he plan is to experiment with a bi more Constitutional wiggle room in DC, see what works, and find a way to duplicate what is successful in other cities.

But Trump could not duplicate what is being done in DC, in other cities nationwide. Where it is illegal to bring military troops into these other cities. But National Guard and other troops can be deployed within the U.S. on our borders and other areas outside of towns and cities.

I'd also argue that it is a temporary deployment in DC, to re-establish order in a situation of murder and chaos, and then they will be withdrawn once order is re-established. And I think, replaced by an un-corrupted civilian police force. The military there is just to fill the void, until that new and more disciplined (i.e., not compromised by DEI, "woke" policy) police force is put in to replace the ones that have been doing such a terrible job for more than a decade. A big part of Trump's DC clean-up is re-writing bail laws, and no giving liberal judges the discretion to set loose violen criminals who just repeatedly attack and maim people.

I remember touring through Washington Square, circa 1980-1983, and being awed how beautiful the monuments and architecture was, then driving out through the dirty urban slums around it, wtih mobs of angry looking black males in the streets who looked like they wanted to pull us out of our car and kill us. In any direction you went when exiting Washington Square. Scary looking mobs, like a gladiator school.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington,_D.C.

Trump was of course fine with crime on Jan 6. And he also just recently cut 20 million in security funding for DC. This is about a corrupt party controlling us.

I'll let Tucker Carlson answer that one.

And I've answered that a thousand times here, across muliple topics, for over four years.

You and the entire Democrat-Bolshevik party (and George Orwell's liberal media) keep fronting these whoppers, lie after lie, and you guys can get away with it for a few days or weeks or months, but eventually the evidence proves the opposite of he narrative you're selling. Everyone but the hardcore Democrat-Bolsheviks knows at this point that the "January 6th insurrection" narrative, fronted by Democrats, by CNN, and by the House January 6th Committee, is a complete lie.

THE JANUARY 6th COMMITTEE SHREDDED ALL THEIR OWN DOCUMENTS !! Why would they DO that?!?
Because they didn't want the incoming Republican House majority in Jan 2023 to be able to examine their Jan 6th documents, to be able to PROVE how badly the Jan 6th committee lied, so they shredded the evidence of their deception.
THAT'S why people are abandoning your party like it was the sinking Titanic.

The Demoocrats are on the wrong end now of every 80-20 issue.
And PLEASE, keep going, don't let me stop you. Another 2 years of these outrageous Democrat-Bolshevik false narratives, and everyone in America will have abandoned the Democrat party.

Trump just took control of DC and turned it into a police state. This was after he freed those who violently attacked law enforcement on Jan 6. He even has a guy that was directing a mob to kill police officers on January 6 now working at the DOJ. Meanwhile someone was just over charged with felony assault for throwing a sandwich at law enforcement. You can spew long bouts of bullshit but the reality is all to obvious.

The sandwich thrower btw after being released had 20 officers show up at his home to arrest him with felony assault. ( with a sandwich ) This is an administration that is comfortable having someone that encouraged a mob to kill police working at the doj. The j is supposed to stand for justice but it’s a gross mockery these days.

Trump’s Agents in D.C. Caught on Video Randomly Harassing People
Malcolm Ferguson
Tue, August 12, 2025 at 10:07 AM CDT
4 min read
Federal law enforcement has begun patrolling public areas in Washington, D.C., and harassing normal civilians in the wake of President Trump’s federal takeover of the district.

In one video posted on Reddit Monday night, four police officers, one of whom is clearly from the U.S. Park Police, can be seen walking up to some men smoking cigarettes on a stoop. The officers question the men before warning them to “tell their boys” that the entire federal police force is out and looking for reasons to accost people.

“How y’all doing today? Y’all staying out of trouble?” says one of the officers, wearing a backward hat and a vest with “US Park Police” on it. He sees one of the men sitting down filming and immediately confronts him.
“You got your ID on you, champ?” the officer asks, walking up the steps closer to the men.

“No, I live right here.... It’s a cigarette.”

The Park Police officer begins to shine his flashlight and look the men up and down with suspicion.

“Did y’all get a call or something about right here?” the man filming asks. Then the Park Police agent begins to explain Trump’s takeover of the city.

“So we’re uh, doing checks, keeping everybody safe down here, right? Have you heard of the federal search that Donald Trump’s puttin’ out?” he asks, before going on to explain the trivial goals of the federal agents.
“Trump’s got all federal agencies kind of coming together for seven days, going out, trying to stop the violent crime, all kinds of stuff. So we’re out here contacting people, talking to ’em, right?” the officer continues. “The quality of life offenses—smoking, drinking in public—it can’t happen outside, right? Most people know that. So we’re contacting people, trying to advise them of the law so they learn, right? And then if there’s other stuff going on where it turns into … there’s multiple agencies, if there’s a shooting or things like that.... We’re just out here trying to inform people and educate people, it’s not like we’re trying to just go … ruin someone’s life over a joint or something like that, alright?”

“I only ask because when you walked up, at the moment you walked up, you only had asked me—” the man filming tried to object.

“Yeah well it smelled like the odor of marijuana, burnt marijuana in the air, right? And you’re the only guy that had something lit in your hand.... I didn’t realize it was just a cigarette, I appreciate you … not getting chippy,” the officer responds. “Just know, learn. Tell your boys, everybody’s out. From FBI to Park Police. So do your thing, let ’em know, don’t be smoking outside, don’t be drinking outside. Because Donald Trump’s tired of it.”

This officer approached some men who were at their own home, asked them for ID, and lectured them about staying out of trouble. And then warned them that more people like him from three-letter government organizations would be coming to make sure they weren’t doing evil things like smoking cigarettes or weed peacefully on the steps of their own residence.

To outright admit that this is all happening because King Trump himself is tired of it reveals the alarming levels of loyalty and deference these agents will be moving with through D.C. for the next 30 days. This type of confrontation is fear inducing, unproductive, and can easily go awry. And it’s just the beginning.

Federal law enforcement presence was ratcheted up almost immediately after Trump’s takeover announcement. DEA agents were seen strolling around the Wharf like tourists, but with military gear. Residents also reported a U.S. Park Police helicopter circling the large and popular Malcolm X Park around 10:45 p.m, and then over Dupont until 1 a.m. Tuesday morning. And another local noted up to 50 police vans lining 18th Street in Adams Morgan, an active street in one of D.C.’s safer neighborhoods that is often frequented by college students and young professionals.

While some argue—not incorrectly—that Trump’s actions serve as a grand, symbolic distraction, it’s clear that the police the president has activated intend to actually deliver on his authoritarian vision.

You didn't source that hit piece, but I found it anyway.


The headline is COMPLETELY biased and misleading.

That's remarkably fiendly and lax of the officer, a friendly warning to obey the law and not smoke or drink on the street, since i is illegal, but unil his week not enforced. And his guy iss not exactly a storm trooper, he's clearly idenified as a Parp Police officer, not FBI or miliary or Waffen SS or something. Ridiculous sory. He was very friendly to the thugs on the street, gave them a friendly warning not to smoke or drink in the street, and made i clear he didn' want o bus him, jus let he locals n=know what the rules are, to stay out of trouble and not get arrested.
And from the dialogue, it seems very clear ha he Park Police officer, like he guys he approached, is black too.

I'd compare wha is related here in he article to Rudy Giuliani's "stop and frisk" hat saved lives and stopped crime while he was mayor of New York City, and kep the city crime free for almost 30 years until Democrat liberals and Soros-funded district attorneys destroyed the safey Giuliani built, and Bloomberg continued.

Washington DC in 2023 had 41 murders per 100,000 people.

Democrats like to quote the 2024 numbers in a sleight of hand, that DC murders allegedly decreased to 27 deaths per 100,000 in 2024. Which even if believed, is still roughly twice the murder rate of some of the most dangerous ciites worldwide. And that's not even getting into that the "lower" numbers are faked, and the DC Metro police lieutenant who compiled them is currently on suspension for faking the statistics, to make Washington DC APPEAR more safe than it actually is.

.
Also, on a Fox News program last night (Monday), interviewing a retired New York City police detective about Trump's crackdown on Washington DC:

• "I just want to point out that Bruce Wayne has never been seen with Donald Trump in public. He's Batman. HE'S BATMAN ! And I can't wait till Donald Trump does the same in other cities across America."

Would that be the same retired police officer that urged an angry and violent mob to kill the police on Jan 6 and now working at the DOJ? Military occupation of cities under a corrupt Trump? The world’s greatest detective would be an obvious threat to Trump.

.

God, how many times do I have to de-construct your lies and distortions of the facts about that guy?
https://www.rkmbs.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=1240942#Post1240942


No, it wasn't a January 6th protester.

As I said, it was said by a recently retired New York City police detective.

There’s video of Jared Wise telling an angry mob to kill cops. You’re good with it. What would be the lie?

He urged a crowd to kill cops WB. He now works for the DOJ that tried charging someone that threw a sandwich at an ice agent with a felony. That guy had 20 agents show up at his home. A DOJ that has fired agents for working on Jan 6 cases that they were assigned too. A DOJ that fires employees if they flip off what is becoming Trump’s gestapo. But if you urged a violent mob to kill cops that’s acceptable? You can’t even pretend that this is justice.

I've answered you, and proven you WRONG, at least a dozen times. You're a broken record, repeating false Democrat-Bolshevik talking points.

He was an FBI agent before Jan 6 2021, he commited no crime, just piddly made-up misdemeanors. There are many other BLM and Antifa thugs who commited ACTUAL CRIMES, and were never prosecuted, who never even had to hire a lawyer. Jared Wise shouted at some cops during a protest, big deal. So did Mamdani in New York City, yelling at Tom Homan, and Mamdani was acually far more aggressive. Get back to me when you hold Democrat-Leftist nutjobs to the same standard.
But that's too easy, you never will.

.

Throwing a sandwich at a police officer is actual physical contact, and therefore violent assault. He could have been throwing acid or hot soup at the officer, but in any case it was physical assault on a police officer. But I wouldn't give him any serious jail time, just 30 days or less to teach him a lesson. He did strike an officer.

And my favorite part was the sandwich throwing leftist was a DOJ employee, and once that was known, he was immediately fired. Because he revealed himself to be a Kevin Clinesmitth-variety "resist" kind of guy, who would be using his DOJ job to slow-walk and undermine any policy Donald Trump or A G Pam Bondi ordered.
So he's gone.
Any prosecution is not necessary, but I'd just like to see him have to pay for a lawyer and fight an expensive FBI prosecution, just like the innocent Jan 6th protesters, pro-life protesters, PTA protesters, and Trump officials had to, and other innocent people arrested under Biden had to under Biden's weaponized DOJ. Let him taste the fire he unleashed for 4 years on these innocent people.

He should get an ass kickng for ruining a good sandwich! What's wrong with some people?

Actually you haven’t. Jared is on video telling a violent mob to kill police officers. And Jared has said that he felt killing police officers was justifiable in that circumstance. Your argument that he didn’t physically harm law enforcement doesn’t make what he did any more ok or acceptable. This also illustrates how twisted the DOJ has become under Trump. Loyal Trump supporter willing to encourage a violent mob to kill cops is hired after Trump pardons him but another employee is fired for flipping off an ICE agent. And the sandwich thrower gets charged with a felony?
