Israel’s strategic restraint: A calculated message to Iran (By Jerry McGlothlin)

(Originally published on American Thinker.) In a move that has the world talking, Israel has responded to Iran’s provocation not with overwhelming force but with a strategic, measured action. According to the Drudge Report, in the pre-dawn hours of a Friday, April 19, Israel launched what can only be described as a “pin prick” attack on the Iranian city of Isfahan. This was not the wide-scale military retaliation many had expected following Iran’s aggressive launch of … Read more

Israel’s right to defense in the face of unprecedented challenges

(Originally published in American Thinker.) The world has watched in wonder as Israel demonstrated remarkable military prowess by intercepting virtually all the drones and missiles thrown against them. This feat is not just a testament to Israel’s advanced defense capabilities but also a reflection of its steadfast commitment to safeguarding its citizens against external threats.

Not just police: NY government hates firefighters, too (By Michael Letts)

(Originally published in American Thinker.) New York politicians’ hatred of police has led to short-staffing and rising crime in the city.  Now they seem to determined to do the same thing to the New York Fire Department. Last month, FDNY commissioner Laura Kavanagh said she would “hunt down” firefighters who booed New York attorney general Letitia James during a promotion ceremony. Videos of the ceremony show the crowd booing James and chanting “Trump” while James was speaking.  Although she acted … Read more

NYC’s new anti-business commuter toll (By Michael Letts)

(Originally published in WND.) New York City is becoming as bad as California, and that’s saying something. The city just voted to kill many of the small businesses in the city and have large businesses move out of the city. It’s the latest move to show that Mayor Eric Adams and the city council have no ability to manage a city. Just like California’s wealth tax sent the state’s highest earners looking for a new … Read more

The FBI persecutes not prosecutes By Michael Letts

(Originally published on AUN-TV.)  It is disappointing to see law enforcement officers, in this case the FBI, politicizing their job to the point where they are arresting people who committed no crime on January 6, 2021. Meanwhile criminals and terrorists are being invited across our southern border, and violent crimes are skyrocketing in our cities. Not only that, violent looters and rioters from the summer of 2020 were never arrested or even investigated.             What … Read more

(Originally published in American Thinker.) In the esteemed role of chief executive officer of the United States, the paramount duty is unmistakably the safeguarding of our nation’s security. This is a sacred trust, a commitment to the citizens of our great country to protect them from external threats and ensure their safety and freedom.

Two presidents, one city, and one big difference (By Michael Letts)

(Originally published in American Thinker.) Whatever is said about Donald Trump, it was obvious from both his words and actions that he loves America and wanted to do his best for the country. It is a quality far too few politicians — both Democrat and Republican — show these days. And now with the 2024 Presidential Election lining up as a replay of the 2020 election between Joe Biden and Trump, look at what the candidates are doing: Both … Read more

How bad is it getting in the military? (By Michael Letts)

(Originally published in WND.) How bad has the U.S. military become that a 31-year veteran, a retired colonel in the Army, is advising teenagers not to join the military? In a Rumble video, Col. Larry Wilkerson said he told a group of high school students, “I recommend none of you 18 and 19 year olds go into the military, because all your military is doing today is being led by people who are insane, infested with lust … Read more

Is Gun Safety Paramount to Rights of Citizens? (By Michael Letts)

(Originally posted on NewsMax.) The Second Amendment, in a nutshell notes, “A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” It goes into much more depth than that, but the general gist of it is that people are allowed to own a firearm and, in the states allowed, even carry it with them, provided they have the license … Read more

Trump Needs to Clarify All His Abortion Positions (By Jim Harden)

(Originally published on NewsMax.) Trump need not advocate a particular federal law banning abortion based on some arbitrary gestational age, like 16-weeks, or developmental characteristic, like a beating heart or ability to feel pain. He just needs to enforce the law. We are no longer fighting a battle over abortion opinions but the criminality of the current administration. Donald, enforcing current federal laws equally is sufficient to eliminate virtually all elective abortions in America. Start … Read more

States May Finally Be Seeing the Light on Supporting Police (By Michael Letts)

(Originally published in NewsMax.) Recent Changes May Be Giving Police Much Needed Support, But . . . Why Isn’t President Joe Biden Fully on board? Since 2020, we’ve heard the scream of “Defund the Police!” These cries demand reform even in situations not calling for it. Yet, it’s beginning to sound as though some states are finally understanding that they actually need police officers to keep their communities safe. That said, this doesn’t mean everyone … Read more

IVF: We’re Letting Technology Outpace Morality (By Jim Harden)

(Originally published in NewsMax.) By their 8-1 decision, America was thrust into a crisis of conscience. Unborn embryos are children, made in the image of God, with rights to be protected. The majority opinion author, Justice Jay Mitchell concurs. The court’s opinion siding with parents against a fertility clinic that accidentally destroyed their embryos opens with, “unborn children are ‘children’ for the purposes of Alabama’s Wrongful Death of a Minor Act.” Unlike Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s … Read more

Michigan’s AG wants illegal searches of homeschool families By Michael Letts

(Originally published in American Thinker.) Is the U.S. legal system even guided by the rule of law anymore?  More and more, we are seeing stories that the agencies like the FBI, IRS, and Department of Justice have been weaponized against conservatives.  Liberal prosecutors and district attorneys are no longer even pretending to be unbiased. Now, public schools have been a bastion for liberal indoctrination for far too long.  Our students don’t learn how to read, multiply, or even … Read more

IVF: We’re Letting Technology Outpace Morality (By Jim Harden)

(Originally published on NewsMax.) Technology has outpaced our morality. On Feb. 16, 2024 the Alabama Supreme Court agreed. By their 8-1 decision, America was thrust into a crisis of conscience. Unborn embryos are children, made in the image of God, with rights to be protected. The majority opinion author, Justice Jay Mitchell concurs.

Pittsburgh Happier Shuffling Numbers Versus Reducing Crime (By Michael Letts)

(Originally published on NewsMax.) The fallout from the “Defund the Police” movement continues. The Pittsburgh Bureau of Police recently announced that it will no longer respond to all in-person calls. Instead, a new police Telephone Reporting Unit will respond to calls that “do not require an in-person response by officers.” This is what happens when people demonize police and reduce funding to police agencies. It is simple logic. It was the goal of  “Defund the … Read more

Louisiana’s police shortage is what Democrats wanted (By Michael Letts)

(Originally published in American Thinker.) If you defund the police, do you expect them to work for free? In Louisiana, the Louisiana Sheriff’s Association estimates that sheriffs’ offices across the state are currently understaffed by approximately 1,800 deputies. This has created problems for agencies keeping the needed levels of officers on the street and increasing the response time for calls. Governor Jeff Landry said, “Currently, our state is facing a shortage of officers, resulting in increased crime and less … Read more

Democrats’ successful crusade to end fair elections (By Michael Letts)

(Originally published on WND.) Democrats seem to have developed a new strategy to hold onto power. Run unopposed. Most prominent, the Democrats have succeeded in removing former President Donald Trump from the ballots of state primary elections for “participating” in an insurrection that wasn’t and something of which he hasn’t been convicted. Although the expected U.S. Supreme Court case about it has stalled those efforts, it hasn’t stopped the multitude of politically driven court cases … Read more

Court feels tradition trumps Constitution By Michael Letts

(Originally published on AUN-TV One problem harming the U.S. in recent years is the prevalence of activism and progressive politics in the judicial system, which has led to anything but justice. We have seen this in recent years as district attorneys refuse to prosecute criminals and judges ignore the law to reflect their personal views. In this situation, it is nearly always the result of far-left attorneys and judges. A recent example from the Hawaii … Read more
