Give Speaker a Chance (By Jim Harden)

(Originally published on NewsMax.) Rep. Mike Johnson, R-La., was not the first choice to succeed Kevin McCarthy as speaker of the House of Representatives. After the position was vacant for three weeks, he was the fourth nominee put forward, and he won on a party line vote. He replaced a failed speaker who broke promises to the public and his party and seemed more willing to kowtow to Democrats than support the Republicans even when … Read more

Can We Reteach Criminals to Fear Police? (By Michael Letts)

(Originally published in NewsMax.) Police walk a fine line. They want and need the public to trust them, but they want criminals to fear them. Lean too far in one direction, and they become ineffective. A good example of this can be seen with what has happened with police since the George Floyd riots. The media painted police in the worst light possible and the public lost their trust in them. Because of that, not … Read more

Once Again, Democrat Justice is Not Just (By Jim Harden)

(Originally published in NewsMax.) Home | Rev. Jim Harden Tags: democrat | justice | abortion | equal OPINION Shortly before Thanksgiving, U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Matthew Graves announced the conviction of Paula “Paulette” Harlow for a “federal conspiracy against rights” and Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act violation for participating in a peaceful protest at a late-term abortion clinic in 2020. Harlow is a 75-year-old woman who caused no damage while expressing her First Amendment Right to freedom of … Read more

Tis the season to be jolly, not jerks (By Jim Harden)

(This article initially published on Tulsa Today.) There is enmity between Muslims and Jews. That has been obvious for ages. Muslims also don’t have much love for Christians. That is becoming obvious this Christmas season. As Americans gather to celebrate Christmas, both specularly and religiously, Muslims—in particular, those of a pro-Palestine disposition—are disrupting Christmas events across the nation. In Ypsilanti, Michigan, a pro-Muslim mob disrupted a Christmas tree lighting ceremony. The mob ruined the joyful … Read more

Philadelphia fights crime by banning ski masks (By Michael Letts)

(Originally published in American Thinker.) Plan on being cold this winter if you live in Philadelphia. Why? Because the Philadelphia City Council passed a ban on ski masks, and the reason for that is that it covers the face of potential criminals. So once again, law-abiding citizens have to pay the price of criminals because leftist politicians won’t address the actual problem. It’s the same type of thinking that people follow with gun bans. Because … Read more

Liberal City Rediscovers Enforcing Law (By Michael Letts)

(Originally published in NewsMax.) A major liberal city seems to have gotten wise to what it takes to reduce crime, and that is to not follow liberal policies. Detroit has cut its murder rate to a 6-year-low. As of the end of November, the city had 228 homicides, which is 18% less than the same period last year. If the trend continues it will finish the year with a number that hasn’t been so low since 1966. … Read more

Investing In a Baby’s Life Never a Waste of Time (By Jim Harden)

(Originally published on NewsMax.) Imagine a young couple and their execitement over expecting a baby. That excitement heightens as they await test results for their soon-to-be newborn in a sterile medical environment. A heady and awkward doctor enters the room and tries to explain that her baby has a rare genetic disorder, one “not compatible with life”—  a disorder known as Trisomy 18. The father, shocked, looks at his bride as her eyes sink to the … Read more

Do Dems Have a Plan to Elect a Pro-Abortion President? By Jim Harden

(This article was previously published in NewsMax.) A strategic pattern emerges as politicians use abortion to amend state constitutions, not to safeguard a woman’s access to abortion, but as a means to manipulate the emotions of the voter base, motivating turnout ahead of the 2024 presidential election to flip House seats. Capturing the majority of 26 state House delegations is key to ensure victory in a contingent election. Shifting the balance of power in the … Read more

Left’s Thumb Is on the Scales of Justice (By Michael Letts)

(Originally published in NewsMax.) Protesters at the Jan. 6 rally are facing lengthy prison sentences for walking into the Capitol Building in Washington, D.C., even though video shows security officers inviting them in. In at least one instance, a man was sentenced for crimes on Jan. 6 even though he wasn’t even in Washington. While there was some violence and those culprits should be caught and charged with the appropriate crimes, far more people are … Read more

Another transgender shooter thinks killing will make his case By Michael Letts

(Originally published on AUN-TV.)  I used to think it was ridiculous that someone could commit an act of violence and/or stupidity and think that it would somehow win over people to their cause. Case in point would be the Just Stop Oil protesters in Europe who think blocking roads, making people late to work, or keeping them from getting medical attention if they are in an ambulance will make them sympathetic to their cause. Then … Read more

It’s only dangerous rhetoric if a Republican says it (By Michael Letts)

(Originally published in WND.) Imagine a Republican congressional representative threatened former President Barack Obama and said he needed to be “eliminated.” What would be the response of other politicians? How would the media play it? Well, Rep. Dan Goldman, D-N.Y., said during an appearance on former White House press secretary Jen Psaki’s MSNBC show, “It is just unquestionable at this point that that man [former President Donald Trump] cannot see public office again. He is not … Read more

Heroic NYPD Marine vet reminds us of the importance of police officers (By Michael Letts)

(Originally published in American Thinker.) Police officers are under the poorest perception possible these days. It’s true. The whole “defund the police” campaign has done irreparable damage to police officers across the U.S., not only turning them into the “enemy” of the people, but also convincing key politicians to revoke their funding when they need it the most. That said, there are still officers out there making a difference, despite the backlash they’re receiving on all … Read more

CompassCare Receives Generous Support to Expand Ethical Medical Care in New York

(Originally posted on Yahoo! Finance.) CompassCare is looking to move into the Big Apple with some help from a fund matching program. ROCHESTER, N.Y., Nov. 20, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — CompassCare, a New York-based pro-life Medical Network, is delighted to announce a significant milestone in its mission to provide ethical medical care and comprehensive support to women facing unplanned pregnancies. Despite facing challenges, including a regrettable incident last year, CompassCare remains dedicated to supporting women and babies, emphasizing compassion and … Read more

Hatred, Scrutiny, and Direct Attack: Police Under Siege (By Michael Letts)

(Originally published in NewsMax.) Over the past few years, police have become “the enemy” of many people out there. And unfairly, might I add. That’s not to say that every officer behaves by the rules. But when the majority is paying the price of a very select few, that’s a complete lack of balance. Punish those that are guilty, for sure. But leave the others be — they’re just doing their job. I could discuss the … Read more

The Nashville shooter’s motive was leftist beliefs By Michael Letts

(Originally published on American Thinker.) It has taken about seven months, but we now know what was going through the head of the Audrey “Aiden” Hale, the Covenant School mass murderer. No thanks to politicians, though. They have been delaying the release of the handwritten “manifesto” for months. While it was expected to show that Hale had mental health issues (as it can be argued any mass murderer does), it was speculated that the reason for not … Read more

Texas does more to protect the border than the feds By Michael Letts

(Originally published on AUN-TV.)  The federal not only doesn’t care about the security of the southern U.S. border, it is actively trying to open it up so there is no way Customs and Border Patrol agents or state law enforcement officers can stop the inflow of millions of illegal immigrants. It is an abdication of the government’s duty to protect the sovereignty of the country and its citizens. Things have gotten so bad that even … Read more

Firebombed pro-life medical network sues alleged vandals using same law that protects abortion clinics (regarding Jim Harden)

(Originally published on Fox News.) After one of its pro-life pregnancy center facilities was allegedly firebombed and vandalized by pro-choice activists, CompassCare is attempting to use a law against the alleged culprits that is commonly used against pro-life activists.  “On October 5, 2023, firebombed pro-life medical network CompassCare, filed a civil Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrance (FACE) Act complaint against pro-abortion extremists,” CompassCare wrote in an October press release.  It later specified that two defendants have … Read more

Los Angeles, Dallas Follow San Francisco’s Downward Spiral (By Michael Letts)

(Originally posted exclusively on NewsMax.) The writing is on the wall for Dallas and Los Angeles. They will be the next Portland and San Francisco with their businesses disappearing. That is a domino in a line that leads to ruin, and it’s not the first domino, which means the collapse has started. Dallas’ and Los Angeles’ problem is that shoplifting has skyrocketed, according to the Council on Criminal Justice. This is a result of a shortage of police officers, … Read more

Blue Counties Trouncing Red on Homicide Numbers (By Michael Letts)

(Originally published in NewsMax.) When it is pointed out that Democrat-run cities are hotbeds of crime, the defense is that those cities would have a high crime rate even if they were run by Republicans. The problem is that they are cities not that they are Democrat-run. They also like to say that the rate of crime in Republican states is higher than that in Democrat states. However, a new study from the Heritage Foundation weakens that defense … Read more

Halloween is all treats for criminals By Michael Letts

(Originally published on AUN-TV.)  In the days leading up to Halloween, it looked things would be more trick than treat as NPR reported that 12 mass shootings over the weekend before the spooky holiday made it scarier than Halloween. The shootings left 11 dead and 76 injured across the country. Halloween weekend tends, sadly, to be more violent than other weekends. However, this year puts last year’s Halloween weekend to shame. According to ASIS International, there were nine mass … Read more

Wray Just Warned Us About a “Dangerous” Terrorist Threat; Why Isn’t He Doing Anything? (By Michael Letts)

(Originally published in DC Journal.) It is always interesting when someone explains a problem that we could eventually face but then doesn’t present any sort of solution to said problem. That seems to be the credo for FBI Director Christopher Wray. Wray has just gone and forewarned about a potential attack on the United States but left us hanging when it came to any sort of potential solution. Say what now? Speaking with the Senate … Read more

How much crime is too much for cities like Oakland? (By Michael Letts)

(Originally published in American Thinker.) Major cities in the country continue to see their quality of life decrease as crime increases. It is not only violent crime that is causing problems, either. As of mid-September, Oakland, California, had recorded 11,417 motor vehicle thefts or nearly 41 car thefts a day. In just the week of Oct. 2 – 8, 125 cars were stolen, according to the Oakland Police Department crime data. This does not include the 549 carjackings … Read more

Keep the Pelosi office building open and close down Pelosi’s career By Michael Letts

(Originally published on AUN-TV.) In what should be an embarrassment to leftist politicians, a building named after one of their leaders may have to close down because leftist policies have been such a failure. It’s not news that businesses have been fleeing San Francisco because of the unchecked crime in the city. Kelly-Moore Paints, McAfee, Chevron, Tesla, Charles Schwab, Oracle and so many others have not only left San Francisco but California. Fewer people in the … Read more

Maine shooting proves we need more police officers (By Michael Letts)

(Previously published in American Thinker.) Earlier this week, certified firearms and instructor and member of the U.S. Army Reserves Robert Card allegedly walked into a crowded bowling alley and restaurant in Lewiston, opening fire and killing 18 people while injuring 13 others.  He’s currently on the run, and many police officers are taking part in a serious manhunt to track him down. On top of that, police have notified citizens to stay indoors and keep everything … Read more
