Yes, you read that correctly:  "Hitler and all the other intelligent  leaders throughout history...."

The Tennessee Federation of Republican Women is coming under fire for providing parents a reading list for children that cites Adolf Hitler as an example of leadership.

The group's president, Sharon Boreing, on Thursday asked a reporter to call back later and then did not answer the phone on a second call. She did not respond to a follow-up text.

Sharon, Hitler wasn't talking about reading. 

Feel free to follow up on TNFRW's offer.

There's a good chance that Sharon is also a member of Moms for Liberty.

Or maybe folks are stocking up on toilet paper just in case a bird flu pandemic becomes a thing

Why don't Americans believe that crime is falling? Retiring Guy nominates the social media app Nextdoor as one of the culprits

We didn't have social media in the 1990s

As I write this, we are witnessing a decline in violent crime approaching the one that occurred in the 1990s. If the lessons of that decade are a reliable guide, public confidence in urban safety should be bouncing back again. This time, though, it isn’t happening.

The numbers themselves, especially the latest ones, are pretty striking. According to the FBI, the number of murders in the United States fell in 2023 by the steepest rate ever recorded. That pattern persisted in 2024. As of October, homicides were down about 16 percent nationwide, just compared with the previous year.
