Why are Americans so afraid of crime, even as it plummets? Because this is the second paragraph of the CBS News take on it. SECOND PARAGRAPH starts with a “but” that defies comprehension (what does “every 25.9 seconds” mean in a nation of 320M?), but seems scary! SECOND PARAGRAPH.
While the report included good news, a violent crime still occurred on average every 25.9 seconds in the United States last year, according to the FBI's annual Unified Crime Report

This is an absolute betrayal of promises made by Congress to protect the people who protected American soldiers. A betrayal by people who think American greatness is based on half-assed military parades rather than being a credible ally to those that risked their lives for America.

Just overheard one of my preteens on a call w their friends, wondering if Brooklyn might get hit with some sort of retaliatory terrorist bomb from Iran. If you want to know how Trump is making the kids feel today. (The other one, without hearing that, just asked if we are on the verge of WWIII.)

National intelligence director Tulsi Gabbard told Congress in March that Iran was not building a nuclear weapon and its supreme leader had not reauthorized the dormant program. But President Donald Trump has dismissed the assessment of U.S. spy agencies.
