A rise in violent crime in Dallas, the mayor acknowledged, would definitely be lined.
“Our native media have little interest in reporting on this knowledge, which is why you haven’t heard about it,” Johnson tweeted on Feb. 11. “And as we’ve seen not too long ago, if policing or crime tales don’t feed into a specific narrative, the nationwide media has zero curiosity in them. If it doesn’t feed into our worst tribal instincts or present a metropolis devolving into violent crime-ridden chaos, the media is not going to cowl it.”
Mangrum noticed the mayor’s tweet, in addition to tweets from her colleagues contradicting him, whereas on the way in which to a hockey sport and determined to chime in.

The Morning Information wasn’t too keen on Mangrum’s “bruh” remark, both. She was known as into a gathering by the outlet’s govt editor Katrice Hardy, who’s Black, days later and requested if she would have used the phrase “bruh” if the mayor was white.

Preview: Ducks Battle Stars Tonight in Dallas | Anaheim Ducks
Anaheim was rewarded with five goals in the game’s final 23 minutes, including a pair of power-play markers, as 13 total Ducks found the scoresheet.
“I think we’re just getting a little more confident [on the power play],” defenseman Olen Zellweger said. “We’re moving the puck well, passing it with some authority and I also thought the retrievals were really strong. The guys down low are working really hard to get those pucks back. I think we still got a lot of work and a lot of potential left on that power play for sure.”
As the Ducks now head to Texas, tonight’s lineup could again include some tweaks after a series of roster moves on Sunday. Anaheim recalled right wing Sam Colangelo, the San Diego Gulls’ leading goal scorer, and defenseman Tyson Hinds, while placing center Mason McTavish on injured reserve. A 2020 second-round pick and last season one of college hockey’s top goal scorers, Colangelo posted 15 points in 14 AHL games this fall. Hinds is yet to make his NHL debut.
McTavish has not played since Anaheim’s Nov. 8 game against Minnesota. The 21-year-old has points in four of his last five games and co-leads the Ducks in assists.
Meanwhile, on the opposite side tonight for Anaheim is one of the NHL’s top teams, a Stars squad trying to keep pace with the red-hot Jets and Wild for the Central Division lead. Dallas enters play Monday night with wins in three straight games and a 7-1-0 mark on home ice after back-to-back seven goals performances in wins over Boston and Pittsburgh before a nail-biting 2-1 victory against Minnesota on Saturday.
“That was a heavy, hard, playoff-type game out there,” Stars coach Pete DeBoer told NHL.com’s Jessi Pierce. “There was a lot of physicality, a lot of battles, not a lot of room, both goalies were great…We knew that and they’ve been playing really well. It was a good two points for us.”
“We could have had more [goals],” added winger Mason Marchment, who scored both Dallas goals. “Their goalie made some big saves, as well as [Jake Oettinger] did, a lot of key saves at big moments. That’s what he’s there for. I thought we played a pretty sound defensive game for the most part, too. They had a couple good looks and [Oettinger] is our backbone back there.”
Dallas (11-5-0, 22 points) sits third in the Central Division.

I’m the mayor of Dallas. My switch to the GOP last year should have been a wake-up call for Democrats
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
A little over a year ago, I made the decision to become a Republican.
As the mayor of Dallas, Texas, I knew this defection would put a target on my back for Democrat leaders, who tried to mock, ridicule and minimize my rationale. But I knew I was making the right choice because Democrats’ priorities were all wrong.
Looking back, Democrats should have taken my shift as a wake-up call. After all, I left the Democrat Party for the same reasons many people of color have left and will continue to leave: the chaos, financial hardship and cultural rot Democrat policies have spread across our nation.
TRUMP HHS COULD REVERSE BIDEN-HARRIS POLICIES ON GENDER TREATMENTS FOR MINORS
President-elect Donald J. Trump understands these concerns, which is why Democrats lost and why he won. So, it didn’t surprise me when Trump was re-elected president with unprecedented support from young, Hispanic and Black voters.
You see, my former colleagues in the Democrat Party just don’t get it. Trump speaks to our hopes and aspirations, not just our fears of liberal mismanagement. Like most Americans, we aspire to wealth, homeownership, quality education and the freedom to live our lives. We want law and order, lower taxes, peace through strength and leaders with resolve. And we’re not anti-immigrant but oppose open borders and illegal immigration that strains our social services and allows a criminal element into our communities.
This is because, more than anything, the citizens of our cities desire to live in safe neighborhoods.
That was what we cared about in the working-class Black – and yes, Democratic – community that raised me. But as a mayor, I began truly questioning my political alignment when Democrats embraced the “defund the police” movement. Dallas Democrat leaders stood silent when liberal protesters came to my home, while my children were inside, and demanded I stop supporting our police department. I stood firm and called for even more investment in public safety with a goal of becoming the safest major city in America. As a result, Dallas is now in its fourth-straight year of violent crime reduction.
This is part of why the election was not an anomaly. Trump made history by breaking the Democrats’ real blue wall: their grip on racial identity politics, which they’d used to maintain power for decades.
But we all saw clearly what the Democrat Party has become these last four years. Under President Joe Biden, borders opened, inflation surged and disorder flourished in Democrat-led cities. Democrat leaders indulged wealthy liberal activists’ excesses at the expense of hard-working families wanting an efficient government that protects but does not burden them.
Americans expressed their frustration with the status quo, not just in rural communities but urban centers, too. Trump made efforts to engage voters in places Republicans of past decades had written off, like the Bronx, the metro-Detroit area and Milwaukee. Unlike Democrats, who took these communities for granted and merely paid lip service to inclusivity, Trump assured these communities they were integral to a stronger America.

The consequences were clear: a noticeable shift from Democrats towards Trump in traditionally blue areas. Trump improved his performance in places like Chicago and Philadelphia and was the first GOP presidential candidate to win Miami-Dade County since 1988. His support also grew in New York, even in the Democratic stronghold of New York City.
The Trump movement’s impact extended to other contests as well. In California, voters supported propositions to increase penalties for theft and drug crimes. Even in liberal San Francisco, voters rejected chaos and chose a new path.
Like most Americans, we aspire to wealth, home ownership, quality education and the freedom to live our lives. We want law and order, lower taxes, peace through strength and leaders with resolve. And we’re not anti-immigrant but oppose open borders and illegal immigration that strains our social services and allows a criminal element into our communities.
To put it plainly, voters are sick of a Democrat Party that prioritizes pandering over policy, political correctness over political action, and concern with personal identity over individuals’ real needs.

President Trump’s mission is easy to understand: he wants to Make America Great Again. And he’s a leader who understands that to achieve this goal, we must have great cities. He has shown that he cares about solving problems in urban America, and as president his policies will help lead a revival of our country’s great cities, making them safe and prosperous again.
And through the new administration, working-class individuals will again feel at home in America’s cities – and in the Republican Party. I know I do.
