The moe rons who make those state lists are from inferior blue states. Like anyone is going to take them seriously. So far I haven't seen any RELIABLE documentation. As far as RELIABLE SOURCES: https://www.fldoe.org/newsroom/latest-news/governor-ron-desantis-proves-once-again-florida-is-the-education-state.stml Florida Department of Education’s 2020 Accomplishments Investing in Florida’s Students At the direction of Governor Ron DeSantis, Florida became the first state to completely eliminate common core by creating and adopting Florida’s B.E.S.T. (Benchmarks for Excellent Student Thinking) Standards. These standards, created by over 100 Florida education experts with a combined experience of over 1,500 years, improves the quality of curriculum, streamlines testing, prioritizes civics, and outlines a pathway for Florida to become the most literate state in the nation by bringing Florida’s standards back to the basics and building a foundation, starting with our earliest learners. Secured a total commitment of $21.5 billion ranging from Florida’s early learners through postsecondary students. Notably the Florida Education Finance Program (FEFP), supporting K-12 public education, increased by a total of $641 million, including giving districts greater spending flexibility with a $137 total per student funding increase that includes a significant increase of $40 per student in the Base Student Allocation (BSA). Secured a $9.9 million increase for Voluntary Prekindergarten, the highest BSA since 2011-12 and first increase since 2014-15, for a total of $412 million Secured a $20.3 million funding increase for our public and private Historically Black Colleges and Universities, representing a historic total investment of over $124 million. Increasing Student Achievement and Measuring What Matters Florida’s education system moved up from 4th to 3rd in the nation in the Quality Counts national ranking for K-12 Achievement. Florida continues to have the 3rd highest Advanced Placement (AP) student success rate and the 3rd highest improvement rate over the last 10 years. Florida ranked 2nd nationwide on the Parent Power Index by the Center for Education Reform. Florida’s 2018-2019 graduation rate continued to climb to an all-time high of 86.9%, an increase of 0.8 percentage points over 2017-18 and a jump of 27.7% points since 2003-04. Additionally, students with disabilities also reached an all-time high of 80.6%. As part of Florida’s CARES Act plan, $8 million in funding has been provided to offer public high school students the opportunity to take the ACT or SAT assessment at no charge to them during the 2020-21 school year. It is expected that over 200,000 students will take these assessments in spring 2021 during a school day in order to qualify for admission to a postsecondary institution and/or qualify for a Bright Futures scholarship. Announced massive enhancements to the KnowYourSchools portal that will make it easier for families to access information on school- and district-level educational outcomes. Additionally, enhanced the VAM Visualization Tool with additional functionality based on user feedback. A public-facing site was developed that can be used in conjunction with Know Your Schools to get even more information on school performance. A statewide teacher search report was created to assist district and school administrators with recruitment, retention, and to ensure that their most fragile schools are staffed with the highest-performing teachers available. Surgical, Not Sweeping Response to COVID-19 Completed Helped school districts move to distance learning and hosted over 75 live webinars throughout COVID-19 to ensure Florida’s students could continue receiving a world-class education. The Florida Education Foundation Awarded $300,000 in Distance Learning Mini-grants to 44 public schools, school districts and non-profit organizations to support and create innovative solutions for distance learning during the spring and summer semesters. Provided more than 32,000 laptops to 34 small and rural school districts to quickly serve Florida’s students as they transitioned to distance learning. The Florida College System (FCS), State University System (SUS), and private institutions across the state announced more than 130 ventilators have been donated to local hospitals, community medical centers and other facilities. Additionally the FCS, SUS and other private institutions donated, tens of thousands of boxes containing gloves, masks – including N95 masks – gowns, caps, shoe slippers and other PPE supplies to assist medical personnel as they care for patients, and food pantries and other social services available for students. Provided comprehensive distance learning resources in partnership with Florida Virtual School to ensure students continue learning while school campuses were closed and created best practices for distance learning throughout the state which was shared directly with more than 2+ million parents, and a complete best practices guide for distance learning, which they shared with 175,000+ teachers. Additionally, Florida Virtual School Provided 100 free digital course to all Florida schools. Issued Emergency Order 2020-05 and Executive Order 20-212 that extends the deadline for students graduating in the 2019-20 school year to earn the minimum qualifying SAT or ACT score to earn a Bright Futures scholarship until December 1, 2020. Supported the Florida Department of Children and Families, and the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services to distribute Pandemic Electronic Benefits Transfer (P-EBT) for households with children who have temporarily lost access to free or reduced-price school meals due to pandemic-related school closures. Increased and expedited access to child care services for 26,000 children of ?rst responders and health care professionals. 87% of these children were new enrollments. Over 4,000 eligible early learning/child care providers, received a monthly incentive of $500 per child for a total of almost $77 million. Allowed VPK Flexible Innovative Options, in alignment with school district reopening plans, for 447 private and public school providers with 8,360 children to ensure that VPK programs are open to enable learning to continue and for parents to be able to rejoin the workforce. Governor Ron DeSantis and Commissioner Richard Corcoran announced recommendations for local communities to consider as they planned to re-open safe and healthy schools. This extensive, 140 page plan outlines the nearly $475 million in state directed education financial assistance provided to Florida through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. In total, more than $2 billion in education-related aid was provided through the CARES Act. Created the #COVIDStopsWithMe Toolkit designed to assist Florida’s education family in lowering the impact in Florida’s education institutions and slowing the spread of COVID-19. This guidance and tools helped all of Florida’s education institutions make decisions, protect their students and staff, and communicate with their local communities. For the fall semester, Issued Emergency Order 2020-EO-06 to ensure all Florida schools could re-open five days a week to serve students that choose to receive an in-person education, and created new innovative options for families to have the choice to decide what worked best for the health and safety of their student and family, while also ensuring the full panoply of services that protected Florida’s most vulnerable students. Chancellor of the K-12 Division of Public Schools at Florida Department of Education fought tirelessly as a member of the Florida State High School Athletic Association (FSHAA) Board to ensure sports could and would continue in the fall and spring of 2020 as Florida school districts reopened. Published Emergency Order 2020 – EO-07 for the spring semester, which expands upon the critical flexibility and assurances outlined in FDOE Order No. 2020-EO-06 - Reopening K-12 Schools, and continues full parental choice. Additionally, extending the deadline for teachers to obtain their reading Endorsement to June 30, 2021 from December 31, 2020 (EO-02). Elevating and Celebrating Educators Marked 2020 as “The Year of the Teacher” with a bold step to move Florida to #5 in the nation in terms of minimum teacher pay with an historic $500 million pay increase for teachers to increase their minimum base salary to $47,500 and raise salaries of Florida’s veteran teachers (HB 641 and HB 5001). Allocated $2.7 million for teacher professional development to help our educators become experts in Florida’s new Benchmarks for Excellent Student Thinking (B.E.S.T.) Standards for English Language Arts (ELA) and Math. Hired 21 statewide regional literacy directors serving 16 regions throughout the state, an integral component to increase reading proficiency to 90% through the CARES Act. Covered the $850,000 cost to provide all educators with liability insurance to allow them to focus on doing what matters most – educating and inspiring their students to succeed in life. Secured $10 million to certify educators to teach computer science courses, and to provide bonuses to teachers who hold educator certificates or industry certifications in computer science. Continued the Federal School Improvement Grant funding to give highly effective and effective state teachers in D and F rated schools a recruiting allocation of $15,000 or $7,500, respectively. Provided Florida teachers a free fee waiver for teacher certifications that resulted in almost 125,000 free teacher certification exams, saving stakeholders more than $16 million to ease the financial and professional stress on Florida’s teachers. Additionally, the Department delayed teacher certification test requirements and will provide teachers with the opportunity to take those tests at no cost, so far eliminating the test costs for more than 22,000 teachers. Offered teacher training to prepare for online learning environments in the event of school closures, with a $200 stipend to teachers who completed the training through Florida Virtual School. Hit a major milestone, by lowering the operation time to process teacher certifications to less than 20 days to complete the teacher certification process, the lowest since 2009. In 2021, the Department will be implementing additional professional development resources at no additional charge to FTCE examinees in order to help prepare for and pass teacher certification exams. Prioritizing Educational Choice Options for Florida’s Families and Students Expanded access to educational choice opportunities, while continuing to prioritize low-income families to ensure a world-class education is in reach for every student regardless of race, zip code or socio-economic status for school choice programs like the Family Empowerment Scholarship and Florida Tax Credit Scholarship (HB 7067). Increased the Family Empowerment Scholarship maximum enrollment cap to allow 47,000 students to benefit from Florida’s world-class school choice options (HB 7067). Fully funded the Gardiner Scholarship Program and its waitlist of 3,000 students at $190 million delivering on the commitment to our most vulnerable students with unique abilities. Provided 15,000 public school students in grades 3-5 with access to Reading Scholarship Accounts with $7.6 million to improve their literacy skills and ensure they read on grade level as they matriculate through middle and high school. Competitively awarded $78 million grant from the federal Charter Schools Program to support the start-up of new charter schools over the next five years, as well as provide technical assistance to charter operators and their school district sponsors. Waived the common placement requirements for college students wishing to participate in dual enrollment courses, allowing students who met the GPA requirements to participate in fall dual enrollment, and also waived the developmental education course allowing students to demonstrate their readiness for college through alternative methods. Adopted an amendment through the State Board of Education that allows students to use a passing score on the FSA Geometry EOC as a comparative score as yet another way for students to satisfy the Algebra 1 EOC graduation requirement. Aligning Education to the Goals of Lifelong Learning, Civic Literacy and Support for our Military Completed the Florida civics standards review at the direction of Governor Ron DeSantis. Developed Florida’s Holocaust Standards. (SB 1628 and HB 1213). Revitalized and prioritized the Commissioner’s African American History Task Force and Holocaust Education Task Force. Extended the Early Childhood Music Education Incentive Pilot Program that will assist selected school districts in implementing comprehensive music education programs for students in kindergarten through second grade (HB 156). Received $60 million in additional funding to serve children and families on the School Readiness Waitlist and $50 million to increase payments to School Readiness providers in selected areas. Florida was awarded one of the highly competitive Preschool Development Renewal grant. This grant provides an additional $13.4 million in funding each year for three years to build on existing framework and infrastructure to increase the quality, alignment and efficiency of Florida's early childhood care and education mixed-delivery system of programs and services. Launched the statewide Florida Civics and Debate Initiative (FCDI) which will expand speech and debate programs throughout the state and engage students in civil discussions with the Legislature's support of $925,000 and a $5 million multi-year commitment from the Marcus Foundation (HB 5001). Since FCDI’s inception, Florida has seen an increase of 83% in the number of students participating in speech and debate. Ensured that service members and veterans are able to earn a degree conveniently and efficiently by implementing a process to award postsecondary credit for training and education acquired during their military career at each of Florida’s public colleges and universities will help our heroes transition back to civilian life (HB 171). Modified school district residency requirements to accommodate military families with greater flexibility to enroll in school will give families peace of mind and make their transition to Florida easier (SB 662). Nearly 900 veterans, active military personnel, and their spouses registered for free FTCE exams under the Don Hahnfeldt Veteran and Military Family Opportunity Act of 2018. Under this program, almost 1,500 free FTCE exams have been administered, saving military personnel, veterans and their families $206,220 this year alone. Established the ability for military members or veterans of the United States armed forces to receive postsecondary credit or clock hours for prior military experience.

CDC for violent crime rates? The SAME CDC whose stupidity unleashed the OBAMA VIRUS on the world and let those UNTESTED ANIMALS IN FROM OUR LOWER BORDERS" The CDC that has LIED to America over and over again about Covid. https://reason.com/2021/09/23/the-cdc-made-americas-pandemic-worse/ The CDC Made America's Pandemic Worse The pandemic was a test of America's public health bureaucracy. It failed. Those failures were legion, and they were spread across multiple officials, agencies, and layers of government. But no institution failed quite as abysmally as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which, through a combination of arrogance, incompetence, and astonishingly poor planning, wasted America's only chance to mitigate the effects of COVID-19 before it spread widely. The CDC is supposed to be America's frontline institution in the fight against infectious disease. Its job is to analyze viral threats, track their spread and development, and provide the public with relevant information about how to respond to outbreaks. Not only did the agency do this job poorly in the early stages of the pandemic, but it actively hindered efforts that would have greatly improved America's response, and it made planning errors that were both predictable and avoidable. At nearly every stage of the pandemic, the CDC got things wrong and got in the way. Its failures almost certainly made America's pandemic worse. And you trust those lying hacks? When you grow a brain and find a RELIABLE link, try again.

Those chiefs ARE pulling those lies out of their asses. They have offered ZERO proof of their OPINIONS. Canada HAS violent gun crime even though it is illegal. Canada HAS illegal gun sales, even though there is a law against it. And you can't blame the United States for Canada's FAILED policies.

And from the ONLY ones qualified to give the grade. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/republicans-rate-bidens-handling-presidency-two-years Republicans rate Biden's handling of the presidency two years in: 'Deserves an F' Republicans believe President Joe Biden's handling of inflation, the crisis at the southern border and the national crime spike are just a few of the reasons his presidency deserves an "F," two years into his presidency. Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., said the president deserves an "F" grade for his first two years in office, citing the economy and border crisis as some of the many reasons he believes Biden has let down the American people. "Halfway through President Biden’s term in office, he deserves an ‘F’ for failing the American people. Wyoming families can’t afford another two years of Joe Biden’s failures," Barrasso said Friday, which marked two years since Biden was sworn into office on Jan. 20, 2021. "For two years Joe Biden has waged a war on Wyoming and American energy," continued Barrasso. "He’s driven inflation to a 40-year high and borrowed trillions of dollars to pay off his liberal base. President Biden caused the worst border crisis in history. As commander in chief, he embarrassed the nation with his deadly surrender to terrorists in Afghanistan. The American people want more American energy, lower inflation, a strong military, a secure border, and safe communities." And of course, the uneducated RETARDS here will try to blame Trump for all this Democrat caused misery. Here is TRUMP'S record. https://thehill.com/opinion/finance/535048-donald-trump-had-an-economic-record-that-will-be-remembered/ Let us examine the success in the first three years of his administration before the coronavirus flattened the economy. The unemployment rate fell less than 4 percent, which was near the lowest in half a century. The inflation rate fell to 1 percent, which was even below the target level set from the Federal Reserve. This has kept the interest rates on mortgages and many other loans down to the lowest level in modern times. The portion who fell below the poverty line declined to the lowest level ever recorded in 2019. The wealth of households, including their stocks, savings, and real estate, rose to the highest level in history. The Census Bureau saw the median income rise to above $65,000, up by more than $5,000 in three years and double the gains from the last decade. Almost all of these benefits were most pronounced for minorities, notably Blacks and Hispanics. Liberals counter this record by saying that Trump is now the first president in modern times to lose jobs in four years. This was clearly a result of the pandemic and, unless the left blames Trump for the coronavirus, the critical issue is how well the economy rebounds. According to most forecasts of the Federal Reserve and Wall Street, the unemployment rate was estimated to be 8 percent to 10 percent. But it has fallen to less than 7 percent from 13 percent in just six months. The growth rate hit a record of more than 30 percent in the third quarter of last year, and it could reach over 8 percent in the fourth quarter. https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2021/12/28/the_trump_economic_record_looks_better_every_day_146953.html#! The Trump Economic Record Looks Better Every Day Trump's strategy was to reduce taxes, slash regulation, massively increase domestic energy production and overhaul trade deals to get tough with China. No one in the progressive movement thought it could possibly work. The Washington Post famously claimed before the 2016 election that "Trump could destroy the world economy." Did that turn out to be true? Here are just the facts, ma'am. Over his first three years in office before COVID hit, the unemployment rate fell below 4%, which was near the lowest in half a century. The inflation rate fell to 1%, which was even below the target level set from the Federal Reserve. This kept the interest rates on mortgages and many other loans down to the lowest level in modern times. Poverty rates fell to their lowest levels ever recorded. This was true for women, children, Blacks, whites, Hispanics and Asians. Median household income rose to nearly $68,000, and the $5,000 gain in three years was more than over the second term of George W. Bush and the eight years of Barack Obama. Here was another remarkable feat: Under Trump, the United States became energy-independent. The month that Trump left office, one year ago, America was importing zero oil from Saudi Arabia, largely because U.S. oil and gas production had surged. Now we have a president who has to beg the Saudis and Iranians to produce more oil. How humiliating. Unelected Joe inherited an expanding economy from LEGALLY ELECTED PRESIDENT TRUMP. And now the country is worse off than it was with Carter.

You know shit. Ask any police chief then you twit. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/police-chiefs-handgun-ban-1.5247387 That link is full of shit. The United States is not the ONLY country shipping illegal items into Canada. And that bullshit link has not shown ANY actual documentation of the illegal guns "allegedly" coming only from the United States. Those police chiefs are goose stepping lying HACKS.

https://www.foxnews.com/media/octavia-spencer-says-she-experienced-more-racism-la-alabama Octavia Spencer says she experienced ‘more racism’ in LA than Alabama "Ma" actress Octavia Spencer claimed that Los Angeles, California struck her as much more racist than her hometown of Montgomery, Alabama. During a recent podcast interview, Spencer explained that though she had anticipated the city in the blue state to be a "free and liberal thinking place," once she got there, she experienced "more racism" than she ever had in Alabama. Spencer, who starred in big Hollywood pictures "The Help" and "Hidden Figures," made her revealing comments on the podcast "WTF with Marc Maron." No mainstream conservative here is surprised by this. 99 percent of all RACISM in America comes from the left. That's just the way it is. Meanwhile, And if you have a problem with these, YOU ARE A RACIST.

That is a LIE. 70 percent of the federal budget is ENTITLEMENTS, in other words THE DEMOCRAT WELFARE STATE. Those are FACTS, and FACTS DON'T GIVE A RAT'S ASS ABOUT YOUR GOOSE STEPPING FEELINGS.

Like a police officer in the frozen north is going to have data on ALL illegal gun transactions in the United States. You are making a fool of yourself, with this bull sheet.

The Nazis here want to raise taxes on the people who create the jobs and make the country work. It never would occur to these shee ite for brains fools that MAYBE their DemoNazi party might consider CUTTING SPENDING for a change. SPENDING is the ONLY reason the country is in Deficit. NOT TAX LAW.

I think you goose steppers are hearing that for the first time. You seem to think criminals will somehow decide to give up a life of crime and sing KUMBAYAH if guns are just outlawed.

But the entire auto-response that criminals that won't obey laws won't obey laws is pretty moot. As is the gov't claim they will. So it's pretty obvious they can only rule against the supply and choice of guns for everyone. There are laws on the books for actual gun criminals, but they're the one always bargained away in plea deals. You Nazi gun grabbers are the ones who claim there is such a thing as a law abiding criminal. You claim that if guns are outlawed, somehow that scumbag who was planning a car jacking or a home invasion will just get rid of his gun and get a real job. Do you not understand just how fcking STUPID you sound? Put a NO GUN ZONE sign on your house and invite the animals. See how well your dumbass gun laws work. Unfortunately the truth is that if there was an outright 100% ban on handguns, 3/4 of Canadians would support it and most people aren't going to change their votes over 'assault' style weapons if their normal hunting rifle isn't affected. The entire issue boils down to lacking a consensus on what constitutes an 'assault style' weapon. Not too many are going to back the right to own Uzzis, M16s and A This is why everybody says liberals are such delusional uneducated imbeciles. You want to ban certain weapons based on how they look. You goose steppers get frightened at a military style rifle like an AR 15, but the 22 long rifle slug has killed more people than any other caliber, (including those found in Uzi and M16.) You worry more about how a weapon LOOKS than its effectiveness. You think there's something comforting in hunting rifles, but a 12 gauge shotgun can complete REMOVE your torso and splatter it against the wall. Put up that NO GUN IN THIS HOUSE sign and see if the animals to invade your home show up with an expensive and CONSPICUOUS LOOKING AR-15 or a simple Saturday Night Special 32 or 22 pistol. America is the superior model here because of our Constitution and amendments. I don't ask that those limp wristed, maple syrup slathering (rhymes with Maggots) to accept the laws of another country. But don't get in our face about how somehow your (rhymes with baggy) laws are superior to those of the United States. Half the world isn't trying to emigrate to your ice box of a country.

Prove that with a reliable link or admit you are a LIAR.

There's no control of private sales in Canada either. And we'll wait while you PROVE that ALL guns bought illegally in Canada were illegally smuggled from the United State. PROVE it or admit you are a LIAR.

You illegally elected a pedophile racist and you lecture me about the vote police? How long have you been this stupid and ignorant. Your GOOSE STEPPING Nazis created that TAX THE ACHIEVERS thread. What's the problem? The balance isn't what you want? (Obviously, your underachieving BLUE STATE schools never taught you about the existence of the Constitution.)

Rich Republicans didn't spend the country into a thirty TRILLION dollar national debt, trying to buy votes and shore up the Ukranian military. Oh, and I haven't been placed on leave here. Substitute teachers are not in the military and there is no such thing as leave. (You're such a stupid liar.) My phone continues to ring off the hook from two counties for my services. Oh, and BAT GUANO FOR BRAINS, none of us in Florida's public schools (the best in the country) flaunt our politics in class. There isn't time. Our standards are too high. I know it's hard for you to imagine since your under achieving public schools never took the time to teach you how to read, do math, find capitals of countries on the map, mostly because your days were filled with gender studies, global warming and a general discussion on on why YOUR LIFE SUCKS ASS. Democrat parents here keep their fcking mouths shut. Their kids are in the best schools in the country. Their kids are getting the best educational bargain of all: Best in the country with no state income tax. Wouldn't bother me if ALL those i d i o tttttt Democrats decided to move away from Florida and back to the high tax shee it holes they oozed from

Rich Democrats should pay another 40 percent in income taxes. In addition, Democrat politicians who live in high crime districts with restrictive gun laws should have to pay a 30% sales tax for the cost of their armed bodyguards. Democrat politicians who voted for higher welfare spending should have to pay an additional 30% of their income to help cover the costs of their spending. The Pelosi Klan, the Biden Klan, The Obama Klan and the KKKlinton Klan should ALL be taxed an additional 50 percent, on top of what they are paying now.

To uneducated children, Rush was indeed boring. To MOST OF AMERICA, he was the best.

And you toads ENVY the Doctor of Democracy for making millions of dollars as a radio conservative. How many radio stations carry YOUR bullschitt?

You have offered no FACTUAL data whatsoever, except from biased left wing rags, most of which have less credibility than THE VIEW. I offer FACTS. And FACTS DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR DUMBASS FEELINGS.

Those guns can be bought ANYWHERE in Canada in the same fashion that they are bought illegally in the United States. There's no public conspiracy in American government for somehow slipping a few cases of semi auto rifles to Canada. Your scumbags get the illegal guns the SAME way American scumbags get theirs. When a Canadian scumbag wants to buy a gun illegally, there is no fcking "special permit" involved. Your criminals are just as cagey as ours are. Your country is no better. Florida (along with the red states in the United States) recognizes our CONSTITUTION and sells firearms LEGALLY to those who qualify. Yes, there are animals in this state who buy and sell firearms illegally, just as there are in Toronto. It doesn't ALL come from the United States. And Florida doesn't have NEARLY the violent crime as the scumbag blue states. I'll wager Florida is a safer place to walk the streets at night than Quebec or Ontario. After all, the muggers up there KNOW that the population is disarmed, so you probably have a lot more muggings, car jackings and home invasions than Florida. Here the scumbags understand that they may die in the process.

And how do Canadian criminals get legally bought guns in the US? Canadian criminals buy those guns ILLEGALLY, not just from the US, but also from Canadian criminals who illegally sell guns. Or are you so stupid that you think there are ZERO Canadian criminals who illegally sell guns to each other, STEAL the guns, etc. Again, there is no such thing as a law abiding criminal. The UNITED STATES is NOT to blame for Canada's violent gun crimes. That's just plain IGNORANT. Americans are the equivalent of South American Drug cartels who supply drug runners to ship contraband across borders, only in their case it is guns. That is a racist LIE. It is NOT backed up with ANY factual data from ANY reliable source. Again, THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A LAW ABIDING CRIMINAL. If you think Canada's passing restrictive gun laws means EVERY Canadian will obey them, you have bat guano for brains.

LIke I said, ANY uneducated MOe ron can make a chart. The reason we have this RECORD INFLATION it's because UNELECTED JOE SPENT TRILLIONS to pay people NOT TO WORK. I suppose it's time for RELIABLE sources, since you seem to only want to quote THE VIEW. https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2022/mar/30/bidens-big-spending-policies-helped-fuel-inflation/ Biden’s big-spending policies helped fuel inflation, says Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco Washington’s multitrillion-dollar spending habit has driven inflation across the U.S. higher than in most other Western democracies, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. A report released on Wednesday by the bank said the U.S. inflation rate spiked higher than other countries in March 2021, shortly after Congress passed President Biden’s $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief package. Earth to imbecile. $1.9 TRILLION Covid WELFARE PACKAGE. https://nypost.com/2023/01/14/inflation-finally-easing-hides-true-toll-of-bidenomics-its-up-13-7-since-he-took-office/ Inflation finally easing hides true toll of Bidenomics — it’s up 13.7% since he took office Oh, and the spending during the Trump years was in place a few YEARS before he took the oath of office. Congress hasn't had a budget since 2008. https://www.heritage.org/budget-and-spending/report/the-democratic-congresss-2008-budget-tax-and-spending-spree Fact: The House has already waived its PAYGO rules, and Congress has voted to increase entitlement spending by $179 billion. Offset by the $98 billion in tax increases, these policies would increase the budget deficit by nearly $81 billion. Runaway entitlement spending represents the most perilous part of the federal budget. Entitlement programs, which automatically grow without limits or oversight, constitute more than 60 percent of the federal budget. Large entitlement programs such as Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are growing between 7 percent and 12 percent annually. Unless they are reined in, entitlements will eventually consume the entire federal budget or force European-sized tax increases. In recent years, members of the current Democratic congressional majority regularly derided runaway spending and called for "fiscal discipline" and "substantial curbs, if not cuts, in spending."[10] They campaigned in 2006 on PAYGO budgeting that would require fully offsetting all new entitlement increases with entitlement cuts or tax increases.[11] They have not held to that standard. Earlier this year, Congress actually voted to ignore PAYGO altogether when allocating new entitlement money to a bill that wouldprovide for congressional representation of Washington, D.C. That's YOUR goose stepping high spending Democrat side of the aisle.

https://www.complex.com/life/gun-violence-rising-in-canada Violent Gun Crime Is on the Rise in Canada Firearm-related crimes are on the rise in Canada after falling steadily for years, according to a new report. The survey put out by Statistics Canada compared rates of firearm crimes between 2009 to 2014, and 2015 to 2020. The report also shows that between 2009 and 2013, firearm-related violent crimes dropped from 29 to 19 per 100,000 people, but returned back to 29 by 2020. Handguns were the most used weapons in these crimes for both periods, sitting at 59 percent. Also in 2020, there were 8,344 victims of a crime where a firearm was present, which represents 2.8 percent of all violent crime victims in Canada that year. The findings also show that gun violence is higher in rural areas than in urban centres in most provinces, which StatCan says may be due to higher rates of firearm ownership in rural communities. The Canadian cities with the highest rates of violent crime where a firearm was present in 2020 were Regina, Brantford, ON, Toronto, Saskatoon, Winnipeg, and Windsor, ON. Overall, 25 percent of violent crimes perpetrated against female victims were committed by a current or former partner, contrasting the 2.2 percent of male victims to domestic violence involving guns. https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/85-005-x/2022001/article/00002-eng.htm There were 8,047 victims of violent crime where a firearm was present in 2021, accounting for 2.6% of all victims of violent crime. Compared to 2020, firearm-related violent crime decreased 5% in 2021, from a rate of 29.0 victims per 100,000 population to 27.4 per 100,000.Over the same period, the rate of violent crime overall increased by 4%. The decline in firearm-related violent crime was driven by a decrease in urban areas, specifically in the Toronto census metropolitan area, where the rate was 22% lower in 2021 than in 2020. The rate of firearm-related violent crime was considerably higher in the rural Northern regions of Canada (107.1 victims per 100,000 population) than in the rural South (26.7) and urban areas (24.8). This is consistent with trends in violent crime in general. In 2021, the rate of firearm-related violent crime in the rural North was at its highest point since comparable data became available in 2009. Following a period of decline in the early 2010s, firearm-related violent crime has generally been increasing. The rate of firearm-related violent crime in 2021 was 25% higher than it was ten years earlier, in 2012. As has consistently been the case, handguns were the type of firearm most commonly present in firearm-related violent crime in 2021. This was especially the case in urban areas, while rifles or shotguns were more commonly present in firearm-related violent crime in rural areas. Physical assault, robbery, and the firearm-specific Criminal Code violations of discharging a firearm with intent, pointing a firearm, or using a firearm in the commission of an offence accounted for 80% of all firearm-related violent crime in 2021. Though firearms were present in a small proportion of all violent crimes, incidents where a firearm was present more commonly involved multiple victims and resulted in major injury or death compared to incidents where another type of weapon or no weapon was present. In 2021, there were 297 victims of homicide in Canada where shooting was the primary cause of death, a rate of 0.78 per 100,000 population. This marked the highest rate since 1992. Shooting was the most common cause of death among homicide victims for the sixth consecutive year, accounting for 40% of homicides in 2021. The majority (57%) of shooting homicides were committed using a handgun. Earth to moe ron. Those crimes were NOT committed by law abiding gun owners. And you're not going to stop those crimes by disarming law abiding gun owners.

Nope. Canada's biggest problem is the CANADIAN criminals who illegally buy the guns and then commit the crimes with them. It's like blaming a liquor store for a drunk driving his car into a school bus. In Canada, you HAVE scumbags who commit violent crime with guns. If they can't buy the guns, they will STEAL them. And suggesting somehow that it's possible to just shut off supply is imbecilic. In PRISON, one can get heroin. Don't blame American criminals for your own Canadian scumbags who commit crimes. And quit being a frikking NAZI and going after your LEGAL GUN OWNERS. There is no such thing as a law abiding criminal.

"This is not a political discussion," Yuma County Supervisor Jonathan Lines told Fox News. "This is a national security issue." "Unless this situation changes and we take back control from the cartels, for the trafficking coming across our border, it will only get worse," Lines said. Trump's tax cuts IMPORTED MANUFACTURING JOBS. Biden's lax border policies are IMPORTING VIOLENT CRIMES. These animals are NOT legal refugees. They are drugs, human smuggling, THEY ARE IMPORTED CRIME.
