Eric Adams’ latest screw-up in New York City (By: Michael Letts)

by

(Originally appeared in American Thinker.) Things are rough for the New York Police Department right now.  Over the past year, thousands of officers have left the force either by quitting or retiring, leaving a void in a city facing a major crime wave that still requires some form of solution. You’d think Mayor Eric Adams would be more concerned about hiring officers and first responders, who could make a difference on the streets.  Instead, he just issued a … Read more

Legally, cars are deadly weapons. What should we do about it? (By: Michael Letts)

by

(Originally published in The American Thinker.) Last month, a Wisconsin jury convicted Darrell Brooks of first-degree intentional homicide while using a dangerous weapon for driving an SUV into the crowd gathered at a Christmas parade last year in Waukesha, Wisconsin.  He was found guilty of 70 other counts.  He was sentenced to life in prison, as mandated under under Wisconsin law. So a court of law has determined that a car or SUV is a dangerous weapon.  It certainly can be, … Read more

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Couldn’t Be More Wrong About New York Police – More Does Not Mean Less (By: Michael Letts)

by

(Originally published in the Intellectual Conservative.) When it comes to saving face during an important period of time – like, for example, Election Day – most politicians might say anything to save face. That said, I can’t quite figure out what Democratic New York representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was coming from with her latest comments.  Ocasio-Cortez, or “AOC” as she’s known in some circles, stopped by the “Breakfast Club” radio show on Tuesday, as people were … Read more

Defunding Police? Be Prepared to Defund Crime Victims Also (By: Michael Letts)

by

(Originally published in NewsMax.) Turning away help in time of need is the latest poorly-crafted, unfounded political ideal coming from the left. This as the U.S. now finds itself stressed over violent crime. Sexual assault is something that is all too common in the U.S., affecting 81% of women and 43% of men in their lifetimes. The latest stats from the National Sexual Assault Hotline (RAINN) show that every 68 seconds in America, someone is sexually assaulted. … Read more

Biden’s bizarre, money-wasting COVID priorities (By Michael Letts)

by

(Originally published in American Thinker.) Do you recall when President Joe Biden said at the end of August that he wants to “fund the police,” after facing so much backlash from what took place with those “defund the police” protests? Speaking to a group of 500 people at the time, he said, “When it comes to public safety, the answer is not to ‘defund the police.’  It’s to fund the police.” And yet here we are, months … Read more

Time to Push Back Against Hate — All of It (Guest: Michael Letts)

by

(Originally published on Newsmax.) Out of curiosity, this writer decided to take a look at the number of active shooter events that have taken place this year. And, shockingly enough, there are hundreds. That’s right, we’ve had hundreds of instances in which someone has managed to injure and, in many cases, kill innocent people. Why is unclear, but the real question is what drives these people to do such a thing. Sadly, it comes down to one simple … Read more

If the TSA can’t keep weapons off planes, why do they exist? (By: Michael Letts)

by

(Originally published in American Thinker.) A passenger on an airline flight brandished a box-cutter and threatened to stab someone on the plane. No, this is not a reference to the 9/11 hijackers.  This happened on November 11, 2022, on a Frontier Airlines flight from the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport. The question is how it could have happened.  The TSA was created to protect passengers and crew from events like this.  The agents are notorious for confiscating shampoo, nail-clippers, … Read more

Sheriff recruits targeted in Whittier, California — where is the support? (By Michael Letts)

by

(Originally published in American Thinker.) It’s so frustrating watching the fallout from what’s taken place with the “defund the police” campaigns over the past couple of years. Politicians and local governments have given in to these mobs and slashed city budgets, in the hopes of teaching their beloved police officers a “valuable lesson.”  However, it turns out they’re the ones that need to learn from their mistakes. In case you missed the news, a driver managed to … Read more

Disarray Will Never Keep NYPD at Full Strength (By: Michael Letts)

by

(Originally appeared in NewsMax.) Last month, the New York Post published a story discussing the fallout surrounding Gotham’s police department, and how, by the end of the year, it could very well lose over 4,000 officers. The sad part is that a great deal of these losses are completely unnecessary. As for the reasoning, the Post’s article kept it simple, yet hard to swallow, “For New York’s Finest, surging crime, bail reform, anti-cop hostility, the … Read more

The FBI report we’ve long needed (By: Michael Letts)

by

(Originally appeared on American Thinker.) The actions of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) have been questionable as of late under the leadership of Christopher Wray. We could dive back into the way the bureau acted upon raiding former president Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate earlier this year.  But their actions go much deeper, with reports about surveillance and even spying on emails of private American citizens in the hopes of finding criminal activity. There’s about to … Read more

Letts: Chicago Crime at All-Time High — Time for Kimberly Foxx to Go

by

(Originally appeared in NewsMax Kimberly Foxx Foxx is failing at her job; that failure will wind up costing the City of Chicago dearly. Sometimes bad leadership happens. It just does. You assign a manager who doesn’t have any experience running a store, or maybe you just hire a coach you think will do wonders for your team, but the next thing you know, you have a dismally losing record by the end of the season. However, … Read more

ICE’s own numbers show the agency isn’t working (Guest: Michael Letts)

by

(Originally published in The Ridgewood Blog.) El Paso TX, Despite the Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) agents having a record number of encounters at the southern border this year, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is showing a record low number of arrests and deportations. ICE’s Fiscal Year 2021 Annual Report showed the lowest number of deportations in more than a decade. The agency deported 59,011 illegal immigrants in fiscal year 2021 compared to 185,884 illegal immigrants deported in fiscal year 2020. During these … Read more

Uvalde Body Cam Footage Shows Exactly What Police Officers Can’t Afford to Do (Guest: Michael Letts)

by

(Originally published in The Western Journal.) For police officers, hesitation is not an option. In a situation in which innocents are put at risk, officers should do whatever is necessary to keep innocent people safe from harm. Hesitating — and even using personal judgment — is a sign that maybe someone shouldn’t be a police officer. Because that can make all the difference between life and death. I’m speaking about Crimson Elizondo. CNN reported that she was … Read more

Border Agents Are Being Blamed For Letting Migrants Into the United States…But Is the System To Blame? (Guest: Michael Letts)

by

(Originally published in CNS News.) If there’s one thing that’s incredibly easy to do these days, it’s point a finger. Point it at someone that you believe should burden the blame, even though it could very well be your fault. Playing the “blame game” has been ongoing for decades within political office, and it’s a trend that will likely continue. I say this because a new report suggests that the Department of Homeland Security isn’t … Read more

Americans Are Rejecting Woke Hollywood – We Must Provide a Better Alternative (Guests: Jimmy Womble and Marty Roberts)

by

(Originally published in The Western Journal.) This year, Pixar released “Lightyear,” a movie that should have been a surefire hit. It was the fifth movie in the very popular Toy Story franchise. It was also the first theatrical release of a Pixar movie in two years. Pixar movies have always been popular with parents and children. But “Lightyear” flopped. It wasn’t even the top movie on its opening weekend, losing out to “Jurassic World: Dominion,” … Read more

Democrats pass bill that supports police, but who really benefits? (Guest: Michael Letts)

by

(Originally published in The American Thinker.) After many weeks of “would they or won’t they,” it looks as though Democrats (and the few Republicans who stood with them) have finally caved in and approved a new bill for the police. Passed last Wednesday, four bills now head to the Senate, where they will likely make traction.  And there’s a reason for that — because it seems as if these Democrats will also benefit from these bills, … Read more

The public can see the obvious immigration lies (By: Michael Letts)

by

(Originally published in The American Thinker.) What has become apparent with the Biden administration is that officials apparently feel like they can say anything.  Why?  Because they know that the media will cover for them and their leftist policies, acting as though what they say is the truth even when facts present a contrary view. A recent example of this is Vice President Kamala Harris’s interview on Meet the Press.  Harris told NBC News host Chuck Todd that the … Read more

The Biden administration declares war on the U.S. energy sector (By: Guy Mitchell)

by

(Originally published in The American Thinker Shortly after taking office, President Biden joined the war on the carbon atom by opening a front against the U.S. energy sector. He cancelled the Keystone XL pipeline project permit and froze the leasing of prospective oil and gas producing properties in the Alaskan National Wildlife Refuge. Then in a further nod to the left wing of the Democrat party fixated on global warming, on December 8, 2021, he … Read more

Global warming pseudoscience is poised to wreck the US economy (By: Guy Mitchell)

by

(Originally published in The American Thinker.) In his book Unsettled, Dr. Steve Koonin uses publicly available data to refute all of the claims of the proponents of the global warming hypothesis as relates to increasing extreme weather events and rising sea levels.  In my book Global Warming: The Great Deception, I refute all of the pseudoscience employed by the proponents of the fraudulent global warming hypothesis, using proven first principles of science in the disciplines of thermodynamics, spectroscopy, … Read more

In New York City, Gun Owners Are Guilty Until Proven Innocent (Guest: Michael Letts)

by

(Originally published in The Western Journal.) One of the cornerstones of American law is that you are innocent until proven guilty. It sets American law apart from that in many other countries. It helps keep innocent people from being wrongly convicted. It’s also something that Democratic politicians are willing to ignore as they weaponize the police against people who don’t hold the proper positions on various issues. The most recent example of this can be … Read more

Republicans and Democrats team up to undercut South Carolina abortion ban (By: James Harden)

by

(Originally published in The American Thinker It’s been several months now since the Supreme Court made its landmark decision to overturn Roe vs. Wade, spelling out a clear-cut solution to how the abortion debate is supposed to be resolved in this country. That said, there’s still a great deal of opposition against doing away with it, and there’s an apparent mixed message coming from the capitol of South Carolina A Democratic minority has begun to fight … Read more

Hollywood Told Us to Tone Down the Christianity in Our Movie. Here’s What We Did Instead (Guests: Marty Roberts and Jimmy Womble)

by

(Originally published in The Western Journal.) It’s so easy to lose faith in things. A wrong decision, a personal loss or conditions surrounding you can all leave you asking, “Why should I continue down this path?” Well, there’s more to this than you might think. We’re talking about a new Fox News report by Pete Hegseth that notes that Christianity could soon become a minority religion in the United States. According to the Pew Research Center, Americans who identify … Read more

When did global warming become climate change? (By Guy Mitchell)

by

(Originally published in The American Thinker.) On May 15, 2013, “Quantifying the consensus on anthropogenic global warming in the scientific literature” was published in “Environmental Research Letters” by a group who referred to themselves as “citizen scientists.”  In the “letter” that reported their findings, they made a claim that “97.1% [of scientists surveyed] endorsed the consensus position that humans are causing global warming” (emphasis added).  On May 16, 2013, President Barack Obama tweeted, ” Ninety-seven percent of scientists … Read more

Filmmakers Look To Make an Emotional Impact With Running the Bases (Guests: Marty Roberts and Jimmy Womble)

by

(Originally published on Yahoo.) With the number of Christian believers shrinking in America, writer/directors Jimmy Womble and Marty Roberts have opted to create a film that discusses how one good pitch can change the momentum for everything – Running the Bases. Starring Brett Varvel, Gigi Orsillo and Todd Terry, the film deals with Christian values with its dramatic storytelling. It deals with a high school baseball coach who conflicts with the school superintendent after introducing his son to Christianity. Upon learning of a … Read more

Did Lindsey Graham Just Draw a Line in the Sand on Abortion? (Guest: Jim Harden)

by

(Originally appeared in The Western Journal.) Is Sen. Lindsey Graham giving Americans what they want or is he trying to rescue faltering Republican midterm campaigns? On Sept. 13, Graham introduced a federal bill restricting abortion to under 15 weeks because after that time babies feel the pain of abortion. Graham’s bill comes as many of his pro-life counterparts running in the midterms are backing away from the abortion debate. Meanwhile, pro-abortion candidates are doubling down on abortion, … Read more

Leftists Are Using a Dangerous New Tactic to Target Their Political Opponents (By Michael Letts)

by

(Originally published in The Western Journal.) While President Joe Biden claims that Trump supporters are a threat to the country, leftists are seemingly trying to get a sitting congresswoman killed. Leftist activists have “swatted” Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene three times since the last week of August. According to the FBI, swatting is the term applied for “making a hoax call to 9-1-1 to draw a response from law enforcement, usually a SWAT team. … It is … Read more

(Originally appeared in NewsMax In July of this year, Elwood (Indiana) Police Officer Noah Shahnavaz, a young man who had been on duty for less than a year, pulled a car over for a routine traffic stop. Rather than accept his ticket, the driver shot and killed Shahnavaz. Then he drove away.

U.S. Cities: Worse Murder Rates than Ukraine’s Civilian Death Rate (By: Michael Letts)

by

(Originally appeared on Front Page Magazine on September 15.) You might have thought that when you hear a newscaster or reporter call a major U.S. city a “war zone” because of the high crime and murders occurring there that it was just an exaggeration. It turns out that it isn’t. “Per capita murder rates in major U.S. cities such as Chicago, Baltimore and St. Louis are outpacing Ukraine’s recorded civilian death rate from Russia’s invasion,” … Read more

by

(Originally appeared in The American Thinker on September 2nd.) Former Louisville police detective Brett Hankison, the only officer charged in the search warrant raid that resulted in the death of Breonna Taylor in March 2020, got a favorable ruling.  After a jury found him not guilty, all records pertaining to the case have been expunged. On the night of March 13, 2020, police officers broke down Taylor’s door in the middle of the night to serve a … Read more

Confidence in the FBI is at an all-time low (By: Michael Letts)

by

(Originally appeared in The American Thinker on September 13th.) It’s been a rough few weeks for the Federal Bureau of Investigation. It’s faced a serious amount of backlash following its callous raid on Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago compound, with a number of questions surrounding whether it was completed properly or not.  But now there’s word within its own ranks that there’s a loss of confidence in its leadership. Last week, FBI agent Timothy Thibault resigned from the … Read more
