It's data which won't matter to a large chunk of the population, but is there a decent way to counter it if it's focus-targeted directly at voters who live in areas which do in fact seem to be showing increases in violent crime?

The cited editorial is just looking at 2015 versus 2014. The longer view isn't so panic-inducing.

That's what it looks like, which is ridiculous on its face because the type of people who work multiple part time jobs are the ones who need a wage increase the most.

I'm sure it comes from the same regressive mindset of people who think teenagers should be paid less.

This was posted on Donald Trump's Twitter account and for once it seems to have some actual weight behind it:
https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/761757988516401153

The actual data used in the article comes from here, which seems reliable and authentic as far as I can tell: https://www.majorcitieschiefs.com/index.php
This obviously comes with a few caveats. The data is only based on crime in major cities, crime isn't going up in every city, not every type of crime is on the rise in major cities (though homicide is and that's always the big one), the data doesn't take reports from every single agency into account, the data is still only for the first half of 2016 (though it does look like most things were up in their 2015 vs 2014 data), and all of this is coming after an overall significant decrease in crime. Still, a lot of voters live in cities and the message of "violent crime is on the rise in the place where you and your family live even though Obama says he's made you safer" is a strong one and the data provided this time around appears to be from a more authentic source than something on par with the National Enquirer.

This fits with my contention that a great deal of Christians care only about the forgiveness aspect of the religion. The rest can be pushed aside at the drop of a hat.

The comments for that first article is full of fake christian zombies posting whoppers about the Clintons, some of which I've never heard before:

quote:

“A woman of faith”?! By her own admission she “dabble” in witchcraft. She threw a Bible at someone, supports abortion, is a lesbian, worked for the Rose Law Firm, a money-laundering operation connect to cocaine smuggled into the Mena Airport, Arkansas. She was fired, by a liberal no less, from the Watergate investigation for lying. She and Bill have been connected to the deaths of 47 individuals, plus threatenings, falsely imprisonments, and have had others take a “fall” for her and Bill. She’s a chronic liar, has been involved in scandals from Whitewater, Cattle Futures, Travelgate, Benghazi, etc. to her email mismanagement, some being destroyed, deleted. She was a total failure as Secretary of State, making our nation and the world less safe, thus more dangerous. Behind the scenes, she’s vulgar, dictatorial, and self-centered. The Clinton Foundation is a noted source of influence-buying. Etc., etc, etc.! View the “Clinton Chronicles” on YouTube, it’s heavily documented. Also view “Hillary Clinton Exposed, Movie She Banned From Theaters Full Movie” The channel is awash with fact-supported documentary-videos about her and/or Bill. Then there’s Dinesh D’Souza’s current movie, “Hillary’s America”. And Google search! Evidence, documented evidence(!), is rife concerning her and/or Bill, the demonic due. She supports the NWO, the one-world government of Antichrist. Larry Nichols, a former Clinton associate and misdeed doer, stated when he first met Hillary, she was smelly and unkempt, wearing a sign about her neck, stating, “I Am A Communist.” Meanwhile, Bill was in the ladies restroom with a waitress, doing what Bill does. You’re either gravely naive or self-deceived. She “was raised in a church”–so were Hitler and Stalin! Your point is moot! You query about “wonder[ing] why we are so willing to extending God’s grace and lack of lack of judgment to Trump but not to Hillary.” Her “lack of judgment” is calculated, Mr.Trump’s is not. God’s grace was extended to Judas Iscariot. By all indications, Hillary is America’s Judas, selling out our nation to line her pocket. P.S. For edification, I write this reply to you, Sue, and all who have been deceived by the lies of her and minion and a compliant media. Please wake up. In Christ, Allen.

She had a literal sign around her neck saying "I Am A Communist" and she was stinky and Bill was fornicating in the ladies' room. This happened and was not a political cartoon or something.

Have we forgotten the rape allegations?

And how Sweden had said they would gladly come meet him at the Embassy to serve him, so he doesn't need to leave his sanctuary? And how they have plenty of proof it was actually rape, not just allegations ( force/bruises, etc. ).

Assange is a tool. Wikileaks should and could have been something super useful for the people of the world, instead it's this....thing. Which is little more then political theater, only used against the US. I'd love to get some loving Russian leaks, to see what's going on behind Putin's iron curtain. Or some EU leaks to see what kind of poo poo the EU has been up to. Or hell, gimme some South American leaks to show me what kind of corruption is going on in that part of the world, the people of South America would love that. Instead it's just more and more US related poo poo, all of it timed for "maximum impact!" on our politics.

Snowden is a hero. He did his duty and acted as a whistleblower. Wikileaks and Assange are turning out to be more and more Reddit conspiracy style drudge poo poo, but with actual real truths attached.

Snowden's kind of a naive idiot for being surprised that the NSA was doing the thing it had repeatedly been doing throughout history but he acted correctly. Going through the "correct channels" would have resulted in getting stonewalled until he gave up and dumped the information, at which point he would have gotten the Chelsea Manning treatment.

Yes, with the caveat that some of the "correct channels" didn't actually exist for him; because he was a private contractor, not an employee, he didn't actually have whistleblower protections.

Running was the right move. If he hadn't run he'd have been incarcerated and shut up and would not have been able to provide a counter-narrative in his defense.

Well I am sure it's worth it for Snowden because now I'm sure he enjoys many Russian "girlfriends" in addition to being a mouthpiece for Putin. Funny how Snowden has no problem with Russia's methods of surveillance.
