So explain how Jacksonville, FL (with Republican mayor in a Republican state) has a 3 x higher murder rate than NYC (with a Democratic mayor -then. And a Democratic Governor). Or Tulsa and OK City with a higher murder rate than LA. Or any other of the stats above.
You can't, of course. But you'll deflect like usual. Probably with Bbbbbbbut Chicago. Or bbbbbbbut her emails.

By Brian Lonergan.
April 6, 2022.
While big government has long been derided as slow-moving, wasteful, and inefficient, there is a growing belief among Americans that what we are seeing right now is something more sinister. Yes, our government is still as wasteful and inefficient as ever, but those qualities alone do not bring the kind of fall-of-the-Roman-Empire news and images that have become commonplace today. The only possible conclusion is that a significant number of those in high places are deliberately wounding our nation for political gain, and the evidence for it mounts daily.
One need look no further than our current immigration crisis. For all the media hysteria at the time over the immigration policies of the Trump Administration, official data shows a border that was largely under control, with apprehensions of aliens at a manageable level. Tom Homan, former acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement with over 30 years' experience, has said the Trump-era immigration policies produced the most secure border in his lifetime.
Looking at the same metrics over the last 14 months, one will find a hockey stick-shaped spike that coincided with Joe Biden arrival in the White House. Some of the data, including a 1,121 percent increase in apprehensions in the Yuma Sector alone since last year, almost sound too outrageous to be true.
Did the circumstances south of the border change dramatically during that time? No, the change was due to a 180-degree reversal of the policies that demonstrably kept the border and the interior of the United States far safer from criminal elements among those entering the country illegally.
A chief executive committed to his oath of office, specifically the part about defending the country, simply would not do the things this administration has done.
The tone was set even before January 20,2021. In Democratic primaries the year before, candidate Joe Biden openly urged foreign nationals to "surge the border" if he were elected. This was followed by a blitz of executive orders on his first day in office. Many of the Trump border policies were ended, including those opposing sanctuary policies, preventing illegal aliens from being counted in the census, and authorizing construction of the border wall.
Did any of those Biden executive orders make things better for Americans living in America? Of course not. They only helped foreign nationals and extremist anti-borders groups with an agenda to weaken the United States. You, the anonymous, hard-working, taxpaying American citizen or legal resident, get to suffer the consequences.
The noxious tentacles of these policies are so long and intricate, it would take volumes to document and untangle all of them. The outcomes include more violent crime in the United States interior, death and suffering among those making the dangerous journey through Mexico, and a seemingly endless flow of people crossing our border about whom we know virtually nothing related to their backgrounds or intentions. What leader of a nation would allow this, much less intentionally cause it?
Now, just as the devastation from the COVID pandemic appears to ebb, the intentional damage being done to our country enters a new phase. The White House is preparing to end Title 42, a public health provision which has allowed border agents to control the spread of COVID as well as the illegal entry of foreign nationals across our border.
Border agents are predicting dire results from this move, with more deaths of foreign nationals, more illicit drugs entering the country, and a complete loss of operational control of the border. Even some of Biden's allies are warning that the move could exponentially worsen the crisis at the border, not to mention the political damage of having to own a self-inflicted humanitarian crisis just months away from midterm elections.
Not surprisingly, the Biden White House dismisses all of these warnings and pushes on with its poisonous rhetoric. This is an administration motivated to satisfy the agenda of its radical, anti-borders activist base. The best interests of the country and the majority of its citizens aren't even on their radar.
Yes, this administration has plenty of incompetence. One need only look at Biden's painful public speeches or Kamala Harris' cringeworthy overseas diplomatic missions to find that. Their broader policy strategies, however, are something different. They are the actions of people willing to cause damage to the country for their own self-interest.
Words matter, and accurate words need to be used. This is not incompetence; it is sabotage.

But greater than 50% will happen and it will likely happen in less than 10 years, not 30 years.
This year a large number of major automakers are introducing electric versions of platforms they already build ICE cars on.
There's an electric Mustang from Ford.
An electric Hummer from General Motors.
An all electric Porsche, and many other German makes with new electric models.
According to Google, there was around 60,000 new electric vehicles sold in the United States in February 2022, representing a little under 6% of all US auto sales. My estimate is that an even larger number of new electric bikes will also sell in the United States in February 2022, and probably a significant number of new electric motorcycles too.
When electric vehicles become dominant with over 50% of new light utility vehicles sales (mostly cars) is it not going to be led by the purchases of $135,000 electric Hummers weighting in at slightly over 9,000 pounds (9,063).
But instead it will be by new, innovative small vehicles weighing between 500 and 1,500 pounds, and ultralights weighing even less. And with many successful new electric vehicles costing less than $20,000, some even less than half that.
To move a 200 pound person around, you actually need less. Just about every electric bicycle I see is well under 100 lbs.
These light vehicles don't need big batteries, nor a network of charging stations. By my estimation, California has more than 1 billion 110 electrical outlets already available to plug into. The air keeps getting cleaner in California, which leads the United States in electric vehicle sales.

World oil demand was seen rising by 5. 5 million b / d in 2021 and by 3. 3 million be / the in 2022, the IEA said, surpassing its pre-pandemic levels by 200,000 be / the to 99.7 million b / d.
During the fourth quarter of 2021, the IEA said global demand "defied expectations" rising by 1.1 million b / d to 99 million b / d, an upward revision of 345,000 be / the compared to its previous report.
"If demand continues to grow strongly or supply disappoints, the low level of stocks and shrinking spare capacity mean that oil markets could be in for another volatile year in 2022." the IEA said.
You can fabricate lies and live in fantasyland all your life but successful people follow the facts. Oil is here to stay for decades.
