That’s right, 49% say crime has gotten worse statewide over the past year, compared to just 17% who think it has improved and 31% who think it has remained the same.

In another sign of the Biden administration’s blithe disregard for U.S. national security, a shocking report in the Washington Post last week revealed that Chinese companies have been purchasing land around 19 military bases across the country. The danger is clear: Beijing could easily use drones, tracking devices and other surveillance technology as part of its espionage operations, including monitoring traffic entering and leaving the base.
