More police officers per head now than fifty years ago, figures show�
More police officers per head now than fifty years ago, figures show- The police have more officers per capita than in the 1960s, challenging claims that they are understaffed, figures show.
"Despite claims that forces are struggling to cope, analysis of Home Office data shows that in 1961 there were 807 people for every police officer in England and Wales, whereas the most recent figures, released earlier this month in a House of Commons briefing paper, show that there are now 462 people for every officer.
Several police forces, as well as the police watchdog Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary, have said that recent cuts have left forces struggling to function properly.
The police were criticised for poor performance last week as the Daily Telegraph's data analysis showed that nine in ten burglaries were left unsolved.
The Metropolitan Police has also said that it would no longer look into lower-level crime as a result of spending cuts..."

Two more bills would require the United States to cede authority and sovereignty to global institutions.
Omar called it an “international embarrassment” that the United States has not signed onto the controversial United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.
However, that agreement would severely undermine U.S. sovereignty, as explained in a legal white paper from Americans United for Life in 2010:
A must read. Send to all your friends..and ex-friends-----After Attending a Trump Rally, I Realized Democrats Are Not Ready For 2020
After Attending a Trump Rally, I Realized Democrats Are Not Ready For 2020"I think those of us on the left need to take a long look in the mirror and have an honest conversation about what’s going on.
If you had told me three years ago that I would ever attend a Donald Trump rally, I would have laughed and assured you that was never going to happen.
Heck, if you had told me I would do it three months ago, I probably would have done the same thing.
So, how did I find myself among 11,000-plus Trump supporters in Manchester, New Hampshire?
Believe it or not, it all started with knitting..."

It's the borrowing, stupid!!-----Whitmer borrows $3.5B without approval from voters, lawmakers
"The new bonds were authorized less than 24 hours after Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's State of the State speech.
But Michiganders will be paying them off for 25 years.
Michigan lawmakers last year rejected Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s plan to make the state’s gas tax burden the highest in the nation.
So the governor is pursuing a new strategy – ignoring lawmaker and voter approval altogether in order to spend money on her preferred initiatives.
In her State of the State address Jan. 29, Whitmer announced she would borrow $3.5 billion to fund spending on roads and bridges.
The new debt – which taxpayers will be paying down for the next 25 years – was approved by an unelected state commission less than 24 hours after Whitmer’s speech..."

It’s not just federal authorities who are unhappy with the state’s new law. The New York State Association of Chiefs of Police wrote a letter to Wolf, thanking him for notifying them of the “Green Light” law and reiterated their opposition to it.
“Our members fully recognize that sharing pertinent law enforcement information and vital resources across local, state and federal boundaries is critical to ensuring the safety of the communities we serve,” the letter read.“It is our hope that reasonableness will prevail by all involved and that an appropriate resolution can be attained.”

Commentary: The Subversive Intentions of Our Mainstream Media | The Michigan Star
"...Many of the respondents emphasized the need for a bolder rejection of the standards of neutrality and objectivity.
As Margaret Sullivan, a columnist at Jeff Bezos’ Washington Post, explained: “One of the things we didn’t do well covering the presidential election last time was that we failed to distinguish between the serious and not so serious—the term false equivalency comes to mind.”
...Tanzina Vega, host of NPR’s “The Takeaway,” concurred: “The press has got to rid itself of the idea of a false equivalency.”
...Samhita Mukhopadhyay, editor of the prestigious political journal Teen Vogue (ahem), recited the popular academic canard against neutrality: “‘Objectivity’ is not even possible; everybody brings something to what they’re reporting on whether they realize it or not.”
In short, these journalists are arguing for more subjective editorializing and more bias.
- A Low Opinion of the Public
Some even take it a step further, acknowledging that rather than report on the issues that the public sees as most pressing, media outlets use their voices to manufacture the issues and generate public concern for them through their coverage..."

If Bernie forgave all student debt, it creates an immediate tax liability ----Fans of Best of the Web Today
Fans of Best of the Web Today--Michael Smith"If Bernie forgave all student debt, it creates an immediate tax liability - because cancelled debt is considered income by the IRS.

The State of the Race: Democrats In Despair? | Power Line
The State of the Race: Democrats In Despair? | Power Line"I and many others have been saying for a long time that the Democrats don’t have an adequate presidential candidate this year.
...I first described Joe Biden as a “dead candidate walking” in mid-October...
...A second factor is probably even more important: Warren is a harridan. It should be no surprise that few people want to be lectured at by her for the next four years.
...Bernie Sanders has a loyal following, mainly among the young and ignorant. But he hasn’t been able to expand that following beyond the base he had four years ago.
...Pete Buttigieg has performed relatively well in both Iowa and New Hampshire, which I think reflects the desperate state of the Democratic race. “Mayor Pete” has a basic problem: he is utterly unqualified for the presidency.
...I don’t consider Michael Bloomberg much of a threat, either. He has one thing going for him: money.
...So who is left? I still think Tulsi Gabbard would be the Democrats’ strongest general election candidate, but she is 1) patriotic, and 2) not a hater. She even wished Rush Limbaugh well when he announced his cancer diagnosis. So there is no risk that the Democrats might nominate her.
...That leaves Amy Klobuchar, who disappointed in Iowa but came on strong in New Hampshire.
...Still, I think Klobuchar is now the Democrats’ most likely presidential nominee..."
