Staff Reports
The FBI’s efforts to present itself as an unwavering beacon of truth have taken a hit that would make a bowling ball blush. In a shocking turn of events, the agency revised its own report on crime in 2022, revealing that violent crime actually soared by 4.5 percent during the second full year of the Biden/Harris administration. Just when one thought things couldn’t get worse, they did. Clearly, the “Biden boom” isn’t what the marketers had in mind.
President Biden recently puffed up his chest and shouted to the press about how he and Vice President Harris have allegedly slashed crime rates faster than time itself, citing historic lows across various categories. However, what he forgot to mention was that the crime numbers a few months later told a different tale. Instead of victories over violent crime, it turns out that murder rates are not just high; they’re climbing higher than a kite on a windy day at the beach. A “FACT CHECK” from Breitbart revealed that the FBI’s previous report was a smorgasbord of missing data, with thousands of precincts simply not reporting a thing. It’s almost as if they were trying to put their best foot forward, only to find out they were wearing two left shoes.

As the months rolled on, the FBI managed to cough up real numbers that revealed an increase in crimes that the Democrats had counted as victories. The statistics weren’t just slightly higher; they were staggering, with nearly 1,700 more murders, upwards of 7,700 additional rapes, over 33,000 more robberies, and a whopping 37,000 aggravated assaults tacked onto what was supposed to be a diminutive figure. It’s safe to say those numbers would make anyone clutch their pearls, if they had any left to clutch.
A prominent academic and crime researcher brought to light something that should send shivers down the spines of every law-abiding citizen. This recent revision makes it nearly impossible to trust what the FBI presents. In previous years, data fidelity was sacred. The tumultuous changes in 2021 and 2022 scream out a warning, yet the FBI appears to be playing politics instead of performing its primary function: keeping people safe.
As the Democratic Party continues to wave the banner of their supposed triumphs in crime reduction, these new statistics give a painful wedgie to their narrative. The charge of fearmongering that was once solely the bane of the right now finds its home among anxious Democrats, wondering how much longer they can keep the façade intact. The FBI’s latest update has dropped a bombshell that might just be loud enough to wake the sleeping giants of America, proving that the only thing dropping faster than crime is the trust in the federal agency’s ability to report it accurately.
