WE NEED EXPERTS TO TELL US THAT THINGS THAT WORK, WORK: Blue city’s staggering 40% violent crime drop a ‘blueprint for other cities,’ law enforcement expert says.

Data from the Memphis Police Department shows violent crime is down over 40% so far in 2026 compared to the same period last year, following President Donald Trump’s establishment of the Memphis Safe Task Force — a coalition of local, state and federal law enforcement agencies and the Tennessee National Guard.

“Memphis is absolutely a blueprint for other cities around the nation,” National Police Association spokesperson Sgt. Betsy Brantner Smith told Fox News Digital. “When you look at the level of cooperation between state, local and federal law enforcement, and you combine that with prosecutors who were involved and judges who were willing to follow along, that is something that every large crime-ridden city in the nation should take a look at.”

You don’t say.

The SPLC wasn't paying for the "infiltration" of "hate groups" (not including Antifa, by the way).

It was supervising the posting of racist hate messages and helping with the transport of agitators who provoked riots.

FROM SARAH A. HOYT, NOW OUT:  Witch’s Daughter (Empires of Magic Book 2).

#CommissionEarned

Some letters come from the living. Some come from the dead. This one comes with a formula that turns a rowboat into a miracle.

Seventeen-year-old Lord Michael Ainsling — youngest brother of the Duke of Darkwater, builder of mechanical marvels, survivor of fairyland — receives a letter from a man sixteen years dead. The inventor Tristram Blakley has not perished; he has been imprisoned by his own genius and begs the one mind in all of Avalon brilliant enough to understand his work to set him free. All Michael has to do is find seven missing brothers first and walk a magical path..

Fifteen-year-old Albinia Blakley has spent her whole life under her mother’s iron thumb — and her mother is a witch. The day Al finally escapes down a rope of knotted sheets, she lands in a world she doesn’t recognize, with no money, no magic kit, and no idea that the stranger who catches her is about to become her greatest ally.

Together, a girl with more secrets than she knows and a boy who builds machines that try to murder him must outwit a sorceress, navigate the treacherous courts of Fairyland, and unravel an enchantment years in the making — before a family is lost for good.

Witch’s Daughter is a gaslamp fantasy brimming with wit, warmth, and wonder, for readers who love their magic wrapped in velvet and their adventures served with morning tea.

TO BE FAIR, MEMBERS OF THE LAPTOP CLASS BELIEVE THIS:

NYT frames this as if USAID employees had a quasi-property right to high-paying, taxpayer-funded jobs.

In reality, this tells a darker story—we spent half-a-century debt-financing a managerial class of Leftists whose only qualifications were ideological. https://t.co/c6UEuewmTO

UPDATE:

The Vice President of the USA only earns $235,100.
The Speaker of the House earns $223,500.
Members of Congress make $174,000.

Thousands of USAID employees, contractors and "VP of non-profit" were living large on taxpayer funding and generating nothing of any value.
