Raleigh Mayor Cowell wields falling crime stats like a shield as federal agents arrive to treat NC capital like a crime scene. Jarring dissonance: City Hall says streets calm while DC votes with handcuffs, rendering local safety data irrelevant against a federal mandate that sees threat differently.

I’m still shocked that stories like this which come out daily still get largely ignored. The most corrupt person to ever hold any public office in US history. I will keep posting them every day and try to amplify them, even when most media doesn’t care. www.wsj.com/finance/curr...
