Maybe I'm going crazy here, but it seems to me that Biden (in 2021) inherited an upward trend from Trump, and Trump (in 2025) inherited a downward trend from Biden.

I'm sorry, but that drop from 4.29 in 2025 to 0.26 in 2026 is ridiculous. Maybe if we only count the first few weeks of 2026 ...

Huh, are you analysing the same statistics as me?

The majority of the time Trump was first in office 2017, 2018, 2019 the rate was steadily falling because Trump spread peace and happiness but when the nasty twisted  Democrats were out campaigning and endorsing murderous policies like abortion in the last year the murder rate suddenly jumps. Coincidence? Nope!

Then after years of an extremely high murder rate, Trump comes back on the scene and confirms he's running by late 2022 and the as can be clearly seen the murder rate starts falling rapidly, as the people once again supported Trumps policies like keeping biological boys out of girl sports, were enthralled by his warm embrace!

And what's ironic is that you've posted nearly 8000 posts telling us how Kennedy the President of the United States was killed by his own country(you know the country you call home -giggle-) and then you go on to claim with flawed evidence that multiple agencies furthered this cover-up, everyone from the Dallas Police through to the goddam FBI!
Yet you attempt to make out that everything was cream and roses before Trump? LOL!

This just shows how pathetic your opinions and arguments are.

There isn't a single post in which I have said that Kennedy was killed by his own country, but feel free to try and prove me wrong. Perhaps a fanatic like you simply doesn't understand that finding the so-called "evidence" unconvincing is a far cry from making claims about who killed Kennedy.

Yet you attempt to make out that everything was cream and roses before Trump? LOL!

I never said anything like that. Things have been problematic for a long time but they have never been worse than under Trump. But please feel free to adore a creep who has no problem with his own gestapo killing US citizens!

Btw what's it like having me permanent living in your head rent free? Have you desperately been waiting until I returned? You poor soul, perhaps you should try to get a life!

Please tell me this is satire.

The last thing Trump wants to do is wipe out Iran. His intention is to inflict enough damage on the country that they capitulate, which would mean opening the Strait of Hormuz and agreeing to abandon their quest for nuclear weapons and long range missiles. While there are those within what's left of the Iranian regime who appear willing to negotiate, the Revolutionary Guard seems willing to fight to the end, rather than capitulate to US demands. This is the same sort of fanaticism we faced at the end of the WWII when Japan's military leaders seemed willing to absorb a US invasion that would have cost millions of Japanese lives, both civilian and military and an estimated half million casualties on the Allied side. That's why Truman had to make the awful decision to use the A-bomb against Japanese cities because he knew it would result in far fewer deaths than invading Japan. The first atomic strike was not enough to make the Japanese surrender and even after the second bomb was dropped, there were hardliners who thought it would be more honorable to fight to the last man than to surrender.

The Iranian Revolutionary Guard seems to have taken a similar stance. Even knowing they face annihilation if they refuse to give in, they prefer that to a negotiated settlement that meets US demands. It is virtually impossible to negotiate with people who have that mind set. The only way to achieve a negotiated end to the conflict is to continue to identify, locate, and kill these hardliners until someone with some common sense is able to call the shots. If that means bombing the country back into the Stone Age, so be it. Let's see how willing they are to continue the fight when all they are able to do is throw rocks at us.

I suspect Trump will start with measured attacks against Iran's infrastructure and see if that brings them to their knees. It probably won't at first, but we need to keep intensifying until they cry UNCLE. I have to believe at some point, somebody is going to be in charge with the sense to realize enough is enough, and accept the US terms.

  These TERRORISTS have already been given plenty of time. What did they do during this current negotiation time period? They HUNG people in the public square. They should be given absolutely no quarter. Their punishment should be in line with those running the Nazi Death Camps during WW 2.
