Twitter Cage Match: Whose Murder Rate Is It Anyway?

In today’s edition of America’s Dumbest Debates, the timeline erupted after a self-styled conservative influencer, @PatriotEagle1776, declared:

“FACT: Most homicides happen in Democrat-run cities. Stop voting blue if you want to stop seeing red (blood)!”

The post, written in all caps and accompanied by an image of a crying bald eagle, quickly racked up likes among the usual crowd of flag-waving accounts with usernames suspiciously similar to bot factories.

The Liberal Clapback

Within minutes, a liberal user, @CoastalElite420, fired back:

“LOL. Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, Missouri, Tennessee—highest murder rates in the nation, all red states. Your math skills are as bad as your memes.”

To drive the point home, @CoastalElite420 attached a bar graph labeled “States Where the NRA is Basically the PTA.”

Enter Trump, Stage Tweet

Sensing a ratings opportunity, President Trump jumped into the fray with his trademark digital subtlety:

“Crime is OUT OF CONTROL in Chicago, the most dangerous city in the WORLD. I may send in the National Guard—BIGLY! Maybe New York too. Everyone is begging me to do it. Governors are weak. Only I can save you.”

Chicago residents reportedly responded by turning up their car radios to drown out the echo of distant sirens and presidential threats.

The Awkward Reality

Unfortunately for Trump’s narrative, the inconvenient truth is that many of the highest murder rates aren’t in Chicago or New York—they’re in medium-sized cities located in Republican-led states like Mississippi, Louisiana, and Missouri.

This leaves conservatives in an awkward position:

  • Blame Democratic mayors: Easy, fits on a bumper sticker.

  • Admit Republican governors could deploy the National Guard themselves: Oops, that’s complicated.

As one exasperated fact-checker put it: “If murder were a partisan sport, both parties would be disqualified for unsportsmanlike conduct.”

The Punchline

Still, Trump insists only he has the “tremendous, unbelievable” authority to send the National Guard anywhere he pleases, preferably to cities where he once lost by double digits.

Meanwhile, governors in Republican states with sky-high murder rates are left polishing their “tough on crime” slogans, hoping nobody notices that they, too, have the power to deploy the Guard.

Climate Change—Now Causing Bullets to Fly

Twitter (or X , if you’re into midlife crises for social media platforms) has finally cracked the case of America’s mass shooting epidemic. Forget guns, forget mental health, forget decades of policy gridlock. The true culprit? Thermometers. According to one very serious thread with 28,000 likes and three graphs made in Microsoft Paint, the number of mass shootings rises with the temperature. “As the Earth gets hotter,” the poster explained, “so does the barrel of an AR-15. And when that barrel heats up, freedom just starts firing itself.” The theory is elegant in its simplicity: Cold weather = mittens. Hard to reload in mittens. Hot weather = sweaty rage. Nothing says “Second Amendment rights” like a 102-degree heat index. Global warming = global shooting. It’s science. Commenters were quick to add supporting evidence: “I wore a hoodie in December and didn’t feel like shooting anyone. Coincidence? I think not.” “Ever notice school shootings dip during winter break?

PRESIDENT TRUMP ISSUES DECREE: "IF IT MAKES ME LOOK BAD, IT'S DEMOCRATICALLY MANIPULATED BULLSHIT"

Washington, D.C. — In a bold display of leadership reminiscent of only the finest banana republics, President Donald J. Trump today issued a sweeping presidential decree officially outlawing all statistics, reports, charts, tweets, TikToks, frowns, and bad vibes that fail to glorify his presidency. The decree, titled “The Truth and Nothing But the Trump” , follows the abrupt firing of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Director after last Friday’s jobs report showed a slight uptick in unemployment—a number that "smelled like Soros," according to Trump. “Folks, I looked at that report, and it just screamed ‘deep state’” Trump told reporters from the golf cart he now uses as his official motorcade. “That kind of anti-Trump math has no place in America. We’re deporting it.” When asked if he meant deporting people or just numbers , White House Press Secretary Tucker Carlson (now holding dual roles as Press Secretary and National Archivist) clarified: “Any operative—statisti...

MAGA Ostriches: Trump’s Flock Perfect the Art of Sand-Diving

  In the latest zoological discovery, scientists have confirmed that MAGA supporters and their leader Donald J. Trump share a striking similarity with ostriches: whenever confronted with uncomfortable facts, they immediately bury their heads in the sand. The key difference, experts note, is that ostriches eventually come up for air, while MAGA voters are still waiting for Hillary’s emails to be released by WikiLeaks. At a rally in Florida, Trump proudly declared, “Ostriches are very smart, very strong birds. People don’t know this, but they’re saying ‘Sir, you’re just like an ostrich, you see fake news and you bury, bury, bury.’ And I do it better than anyone. Tremendous bird, really classy.” The Ostrich Strategy When confronted with reports that contradict their worldview—such as unemployment numbers, climate science, or Trump’s golf scores—MAGA ostriches engage in a synchronized head-burying maneuver. Within seconds, they retreat underground, emerging only when Newsmax or OAN con...
