| Democrats Take to the Streets as Trump Prepares to Tackle Chicago Crime |
| by S.A. McCarthy |
| Following his deployment of federal forces against violent crime in the nation's capital, President Donald Trump is eyeing Chicago as his next target for a crackdown on crime, despite the protests of Windy City Democrats. At a press conference Tuesday, Trump announced that federal forces would be "going in" to Chicago to address the city's high crime rates. "We're going in. I didn't say when," the president said. He continued, "We're going in. Look, I have an obligation. This isn't a political thing, I have an obligation." |

| State Rep.: Prayer after School Shooting is 'Idolatry,' 'Theological Malpractice' |
| by Joshua Arnold |
| Amid the chorus of mockery at prayers offered after the Annunciation Catholic School shooting, Tennessee Rep. Justin Jones (D) offered the most theological critique - and the most erroneous. "I want to bring theology into this," he said on MSNBC, "because you have all these people [who] want to give thoughts and prayers after a shooting. But I was a minister, and that is a form of theological malpractice - when you pray for something you have the power to change." |

| by Joshua Arnold |
| With President Donald Trump's 30-day crime emergency in Washington, D.C. set to expire next Wednesday, many D.C. residents - not to mention government officials and staff - have wondered what would come next. Would the city revert back to its previous levels of crime? Would Congress act to extend Trump's intervention beyond 30 days? The answer provides a surprising contrast to Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson (D), who seems inexplicably determined to resist any real efforts to mitigate his city's crime problem. |

| by S.A. McCarthy |
| The number of immigrant children trafficked across the borders of the U.S. skyrocketed between 2021 and 2024, but federal law enforcement officials have seen those numbers plummet almost to nothing over the past seven months. According to data released by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), President Donald Trump's administration has overseen a sharp decline in the number of unaccompanied alien children (UACs) encountered by federal law enforcement officials, falling from 6,862 encounters in December to only 515 encounters in July: a 92.5% decrease. |
