The former Capitol Police Chief says crime has gone up in certain neighborhoods.
Washington D.C.'s homicide rate is five to six times that of any other major city in the United States, according to a warning by a former Capitol Police Chief. About 800 National Guard troops will be sent to Washington, D.C. and the Metropolitan Police Department will be under the control of the president. Critics argue that increased concern about crime is due to a faulty perception of America's cities. There may be some truth to Trump saying there is a crisis. Trump was praised for being a "very, very detail-oriented person," to the point that he notices potential issues with the capital during rides in the motorcade. In case people don't know, it's not uncommon for him to be driving in a motorcade and notice street lights are out, or look at graffiti, or make a notification on it. This President is detail-oriented. Navy Yard is just six blocks south of the Capitol and a short distance from the White House, so for him to see some of the crime that is happening and some of the assaults that are occurring....

There are multiple unsolved murders across the US that have one thing in common.
The man accused of killing a married couple while they were on a hiking trip with their kids in Arkansas is being looked at for possible involvement in other murders. Andrew James McGann is accused of killing a couple at Devil's Den State Park in Washington County, Arkansas. McGann will be in court Thursday to be charged with capital murder. Mike Hagar, Arkansas State Police director, said McGann confessed to the killings and that they were stabbed to death in a random event. Hagar said there was no reason to believe there was an association between the suspect and the victims. The suspect admitted to the murders during an interview with investigators. We recovered items consistent with the crime after executing a search warrant at his residence. Hagar said that McGann was linked to the couple's death with the use of DNA....

Alternative Media Insights
Note: As we venture into the realm of alternative media reporting, it is essential to acknowledge that not all sources are created equal. While some outlets offer crucial counter-narratives and insights, others pose a significant risk of misinformation, perpetuating controlled opposition or serving as wolves in sheep's clothing, intent on misleading their audience with agendas designed to confuse rather than inform.

The review of the Smithsonian by Trump was called Woke Cleanup or Great Historical Unveiling. This week, the White House ordered an internal review of all the museums in the US, including exhibitions, archives, educational materials, and even the institution's public messaging. The goal is to remove improper ideology from the Biden years and restore sanity to America's history. Is this just a cultural clean-up? For over a century, the Smithsonian has been accused of acting as a gateway to the official narrative, deciding which artifacts and discoveries are shown, but which quietly disappear. From reports of giant skeletons unearthed in North America, to artifacts suggesting contact between the Old and New Worlds long before Columbus, to anomalies that hint at advanced pre-flood technologies, the Smithsonian has been at the center of countless allegations of historical civilization. The public never sees the cracks in the story, and the Smithsonian is so devoted to protecting the system that it's like Agent Smith in The Matrix. The question is whether we are going to open the vault to let the truth come out....

"Insect-related businesses in the Western world are producing insect proteins for foods, beverages, confectionaries, butters, oils and seasoning." "So it's most likely going to show up, not be labelled, and you're not going to know it, in pretty much everything you eat." About 30% of the cricket farms had parasites that carried disease to humans. The crickets show the presence of some elements. For more content like this, subscribe to RealWideAwakeMedia.

If a tree falls in the middle of a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? I think we are all like that tree. We want to be seen, we want to be heard, we want to be acknowledged, but can we really say we exist? It is part of why we want a tribe that feels like home. For some, it comes through a partner's eyes, for others it's in the embrace of community. The form is not the same as the longing. What am I without the other? I don't think I'm generous unless there is someone to receive....

The EU has billions of dollars in swingers club and vodka bars in Poland.
Poland's government is being shaken by a growing scandal after it was revealed that parts of Poland's EU recovery funds for post-covid recovery ended up with businesses that can hardly be described as socially critical. The map of grant recipients was published by the government. It exposed how support from a program worth 1.2 billion zoty went to yachts, entertainment establishments, and other projects that raise questions about the authorities' judgment and control over how EU citizens' tax money is actually used. A business in southern Poland is registered at the same address as a swingers club. The affair is described as a textbook example of cronyism and waste of taxpayer money by the national-conservative Law and Justice party. One of the biggest scandals since 1989 was declared by the PiS parliamentarian. He staged a protest on Saturday outside the prime minister's office with a fake sign for the made-up "Ministry of Herring and Vodka." PiS wants parliamentary hearings and prosecutors....
