Op-Ed: Has the Time Come for a Military Tribunal for President Biden? (By Michael Letts)

by

(Originally published in the Western Journal.) Before I get started on the latest allegations surrounding President Joe Biden and the illegal storage of documents containing sensitive information in his home, I want to discuss the term “military tribunal.” A military tribunal works as a military court, but one that isn’t exclusive to military personnel. Civilian parties can actually be the subject of charges. In fact, at one point, the administration of George W. Bush proposed … Read more

New York Can’t Take Migrants, So Who Can? (By: Michael Letts)

by

(Originally appeared in NewsMax.) New York City, in terms of its politics and worldview, is more than blue; it’s deep-blue. Gotham claims to be progressive, opening, and welcoming, but recently showed itself to be racist. That is, if it’s to be judged by its own standards. Eric Adams, the mayor of New York, recently traveled to the Mexican border city of El Paso, Texas and announced “there is no room in New York” for busloads of migrants being … Read more

by

Investigative reporter sounds off on the recent arrests in Florida, but wonders what, if anything, could come next. For a while there, many people were wondering why the Department of Justice were so hellbent on pursuing those that attacked pro-abortion centers, but didn’t provide that same level of urgency to those that damaged pro-life ones.

Illinois’ Gun Law Is So Ridiculous, Even This Sheriff Refuses to Enforce Them (Guest: Second Amendment)

Illinois’s new SAFE-T Act is going lenient on criminals – and that’s bad news for our police officers (By Michael Letts)

by

(Originally published in American Thinker.) I’m really trying to figure out what Illinois officials are thinking when it comes to their newly passed SAFE-T act.  SAFE-T stands for Safety, Accountability, Fairness and Equity-Today, and it has a number of provisions in place that make things a little more lenient in certain areas for defendants and criminals. Here are a couple of examples. First off, defendants are no longer immediately considered flight risks, no matter what … Read more

The Supreme Court Refuses to Listen to Gun Retailers, And It’s a Serious Problem

by

A Second Amendment Foundation representative explains why the Court’s deaf ear to New York’s strict gun laws could cost gun sellers dearly.

Abortionist Firebombed – Arrest Immanent (Guest: Jim Harden)

by

The CEO for CompassCare is wondering just what political agenda the group has in mind. Sunday, January 15, at 11:30 P.M. the abortion business Planned Parenthood in Peoria, IL was firebombed.

Does the Joe Biden Situation Call For a Military Tribunal? (Guest: Michael Letts)

by

It’s been days since documents were discovered in  President Joe Biden home, but the debate continues as to how they got there – and, more importantly, who’s taking action in terms of an investigation.

Michael Letts doesn’t believe so, noting that a “fair, unbiased, equal standard investigation” into … Read more

The New China-Competition Committee Is the Right Move, But Why Is It So Late? (Guest: The Epoch Times’ Nan Su)

by

The investigative reporter does commend the forming of the committee, but it should have been done much sooner. With all the troubling actions surrounding the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) as of late, it should come as no surprise that the House in the U.S. Congress has chosen to act. But the real question is why it took so long to do so. A new Epoch Times article from investigative reporter Nan Su explains how the forming … Read more

When Visiting the Border, Biden did not See the Truth (By Michael Letts)

Maryland’s Gun Safety Act of 2023 Is a Huge Problem For Constitutional-Carry Citizens (Guest: Stephen Willeford)

Maryland’s “Unique” Gun Control Measures Are Asking For Trouble (Guest: Second Amendment Foundation)

Police Have Had Enough. And Are Quitting. (By Michael Letts)

Crime rose dramatically in these liberal cities last year, and when the politicians in charge turned … Read more

House Republicans Approve “Born-Alive” Bill – and Democrats Are Furious (Guest: Jim Harden)
