World Cup visitors discovered something many Americans already know: The United States does not feel like the dangerous place they’ve been led to expect. That’s because America’s murder problem is not spread evenly across the country. Does the United States have a higher murder rate than its peer countries? Yes – but new research shows that statistic obscures how murders in the U.S. are extremely concentrated in very tiny areas.
In 2025, the U.S. murder rate fell to just under 4 murders per 100,000 people. During the first six months of 2026, data compiled by the Council on Criminal Justice shows that murders in the nation’s 30 largest cities declined by another 18%. If that decline reflects the national trend, and that is likely, the U.S. murder rate will fall to approximately 3.25 per 100,000 people this year.

(By contrast, annual inflation during Trump’s first term averaged 1.9 percent. In his second term, it averaged 2.6 percent in 2025—and may rise to 4.5 percent in 2026, given the war with Iran.)

Neither Anthony Fauci nor the vast majority of scientists consulted by the then-director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases accepted the Chinese “wet market” theory of COVID-19 origin in early 2020, before they changed the official consensus in the “Proximal Origin” paper several weeks later, according to purported Fauci diary entries published by Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky.
“It now appears using epi data and genomic data that the first infection was in early December and was not connected to the market,” Fauci allegedly wrote in his personal notes Jan. 26, 2020 after the Chinese health minister said the novel coronavirus was spreading asymptomatically.

Braden Hull is a rising singer/songwriter in Nashville, Tennessee, who hails from Lexington, North Carolina. I first met him at CRS 2026, where he immediately impressed me with his remarkable story. Hull never set out to be a musician; he wanted to be a fireman. When he was 14, he joined his local junior fireman program, and by the time he was 16, he was a fully certified volunteer fireman. He later got his EMT certification, opened a landscaping company, and did some DJ work on the side.
He started writing songs as a hobby. Hull shared, “I thought they were good songs because I wrote them, but it was my dad who said, ‘You’ve really got something here. You can really write a song.'”

The rollout, triggered by notices under last year’s “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” signed last year, layers fresh costs onto everything from work permits for protection seekers to juvenile immigrant status, directly bankrolling deportation operations while slamming the door on what officials call taxpayer-subsidized loopholes.
