The "DEI" Mayor is getting the job done. Meanwhile we have a criminal president breaking the law. So really who governs the best? Blue Mayors or Red Presidents? Looking at the last 4 Red Presidents, to include Reagan, the winner is the blue mayors. And this guy is reducing crime in Baltimore.

Baltimore homicides hit historic low, but leaders say ‘work is far from over’

After a year of historic reductions in homicides, the first half of 2025 is looking even brighter for Charm City officials.

There have been 68 homicides and 164 nonfatal shootings in Baltimore the first six months of the year, according to city police, a 22% and 19% decrease, respectively, from this time last year. This is the fewest homicides recorded in Baltimore in over 50 years, said Mayor Brandon Scott.

Both numbers outpace the goals in the city’s Comprehensive Violence Prevention Plan of decreasing gun violence, fatal and nonfatal, by 15% per year. Scott said the reduction in crime has been achieved by goals in the plan that call for a public health approach to gun violence, prioritizing community engagement and transparency in sharing quantified results.

Stefanie Mavronis, the director of the Mayor’s Office for Neighborhood Safety and Engagement (MONSE), which is responsible for implementing the plan, said in a statement that community-based efforts and supporting victims to prevent retalitation and revictimization has also been effective.


Maybe its time to take a look t what works instead of some ideology-based garbage created by emotions.

Violent crimes have dropped drastically across all of the United States the first half of 2025. It’s a national trend…thanks Trump
