Crime is down, much like the economy is up, which is to say that statistical gimmicky is being used to try and hide the everyday reality that people are experiencing.

In early June, Biden claimed that “violent crime is dropping at record levels in America.”

Someone better tell the Secret Service.

A member of the Secret Service was robbed at gunpoint during President Joe Biden’s trip to California over the weekend. Biden was in Los Angeles for a campaign fundraiser after returning from the G7 meeting in Italy. It was not immediately clear whether the Secret Service agent’s work assignment was connected to the president’s visit.

The agent was returning from work at the time of the robbery Saturday night and fired a service weapon during the confrontation, but it wasn’t known if the assailants were struck, according to a statement by the Secret Service. The agent wasn’t injured, the statement said.

Crime is down. Just ask Rep. Adam Schiff.

San Francisco thieves broke into the car of Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., Thursday, making off with his luggage and leaving him without formalwear for a major campaign event, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

Record levels. Absolutely record levels. Safest it’s ever been. As long as you bring your Secret Service detail. And then bring another detail for that detail. Then maybe a helicopter gunship just to be on the safe side.
