Soooo, Mississippi was only 4.5% of the amount coming from Illinois and the disingenuous Democrat politician (is that redundant?) called them out. That's the pot calling the kettle black.

Let me guess - we'll never see any actual evidence of this, because Trump is shielded by executive privilege.

I just dropped off two packages at my local USPS. Took over 30 minutes because the Toshiba machine that was apparently only a couple months old kept on eating the USPS labels. Eight of them, for just two boxes.

Yep, I want these guys fully involved in our elections.

So, the increased number of video cameras is racists because they appear to catch more crimes committed by young urban black males?

Also, there are actual people out there that believe a man can sneak up behind a young woman, kill her by stabbing her in the neck and he is not guilty?

Getting old sucks. I can't keep up with all of the new trends and progression towards a better society.

yes. You're racist to think otherwise.

Most murders in the U.S. never become national news. This one’s garnered attention for a couple of reasons. Number one, first and foremost, the recent release of that gruesome video.

Second, the energy from pro-Trump activists. They picked up on this video from local news and ran with it. It’s a little bit like the times when civil rights groups have raised attention about police-involved shootings.

In this case, it is Trump-aligned influencers who are posting up a storm about this case on social media. Really, over the weekend, Elon Musk, Charlie Kirk, other Trump-aligned figures succeeded in making this senseless death a symbol of big-city crime. We heard President Trump asked about it yesterday when he was heading home from New York City.

He didn’t seem to know much about it. He said he would get briefed. And then today, Trump did know all about it.

And that’s exactly what has happened here. This story has trickled up from local news to social media and now to the president’s attention. And it’s being used, as you said, Brianna, as a political symbol, with MAGA media calling for more forceful punishments and more incarceration.

I have to say, some of the replies to Musk, some of the comments around this story are baldly racist, stoking fear of African-Americans because this man attacked a white woman. The open racism on sites like X Today, it’s eye-popping. But there are also legitimate questions about this so-called career criminal, someone who had been a repeat offender.
