“Dear PoPville,
Since President Trump federalized the DC police and brought in other law enforcement agencies, he has been hoping for screen-grabbing protests to justify his decision. Residents need to ignore the bait.
Donald J. Trump is a champion of distraction. He cannot stomach bad headlines. So when events are not swinging in his direction, he seeks to change the narrative and blame something else. Epstein files? Claim a criminal conspiracy by Barack Obama. Job numbers not good? The reporting bureau is corrupt and full of leftists.
The decision to federalize Washington D.C.’s police may be just one more choice ‘don’t look here, look over there’, or it may be a vengeful response to one of his DOGE employees being victim of an attempted car jacking in one of the city’s safest neighborhoods. Whatever the reason, Trump’s decision to put additional federal officers on the streets of D.C. stands in the face of all evidence that D.C is the safest it has been for years. The decision was controversial but, as hoped by the White House, it consumed national attention.
President Trump would now like nothing more than images of violent protests to justify his bravery in saving a lawless and corrupt city. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
This morning, at 6:15AM, a cop car with sirens followed by 3-4 large military vehicles were heading north on 8th St SE and one of the military vehicles loudly t-boned a vehicle heading southwest on North Carolina Avenue SE. From my viewpoint, this was clearly not an intentional stopping/crashing of a vehicle.
Following the crash, a group of national guard hopped off to go see what had happened.
I’m curious if the person in the car is okay…”
