Amid Left-Wing Push To 'Defund The Police,' Murders Skyrocket By
Nearly 30 Percent
What Happened:
The FBI released its 2020 crime report this week, and the numbers show
that while Democrats called to defund the police last year, crime
skyrocketed.
Why You Should Care:
In 2020, there were 1,277,696 violent crimes, with a 30% increase in the
murder rate. According to the FBI: "For the first time in four years,
the estimated number of violent crimes in the nation increased when
compared with the previous year's statistics."

Gov. DeSantis Sues Biden Administration Over Border Security, Signs
'Border Crisis' Executive Order
What Happened:
This week, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis took significant actions to address
the southern border crisis both in his home state and nationally.
Why You Should Care:
These actions include filing a lawsuit against the White House over
President Biden's failed border policies and signing an executive
order to protect Floridians from the impacts of the border crisis. Gov.
DeSantis: "We're not gonna be a party to this lawlessness."
What Happens Next:
While the Biden Administration has continued to do nothing to address
the crisis, hopefully Gov. DeSantis' lawsuit will finally lead to
much-needed federal action.

McAuliffe criticized online after saying he doesn't believe parents
should tell schools what to teach
What Happened:
During the final Virginia gubernatorial debate before the election,
Democratic nominee Terry McAuliffe said, "I don't think parents should
be telling schools what they should teach."
Why You Should Care:
McAuliffe made the controversial statement after Republican nominee
Glenn Youngkin asserted that parents should have more of a say in the
decisions of local school districts. It justifiably caused an uproar on
social media, as parents maintained their right to have a say in their
childrens' education over the government.
