It Seems Democrats Are More Interested In Calling “Red Counties” the Problem With Violence – But the Truth Is Right In Front of Them By MICHAEL LETTS
(Originally published in AUN-TV.) Law enforcement veteran Michael Letts points out a new report that reveals why people like Gov. Newsom and George Soros aren’t accurate in the blame game. Crime has increased rapidly over the past year, between all these “blue counties” trying to punish their police forces with budget cuts and setting up restrictive gun laws, believing that will be the resolution to their problems. Clearly, it wasn’t. But, of course, people like … Read more

White House exposes special forces – and risks their lives (By Michael Letts)
(Originally published in WND.) Democrats have shown time and time again that they don’t respect the U.S. military. They would much rather use our Armed Forces for social experiments like integrating transgender servicepeople into the ranks than making sure they are prepared for combat. And now they have needlessly put the lives of some U.S. soldiers in the Middle East at risk. The White House posted a picture on X (formerly Twitter) of President Joe … Read more
If you want government help, don’t be a citizen (By Michael Letts)
(Originally published in American Thinker.) If people enter the U.S. illegally, the government will feed, clothe, and house them. This despite the fact that they have committed a crime to supposedly reach safety. The government will even fly them, at no personal expense, to other cities in the U.S. where they can start a new life. With Hamas and Israel fighting each other, hundreds of American citizens have found themselves caught in a war zone. … Read more
Police should follow the law in the Nashville shooter manifesto case (By Michael Letts)
(Originally published in American Thinker.) It’s been nearly seven months since a transgender man entered the Covenant School in Tennessee and shot and murdered three nine-year-old children and three adults. According to court filings, this murderer left behind at least 20 journals, a suicide note, and a memoir. Yet, they have not been released to the public to allow for an understanding of the killer’s motive. Leftists have fought against the release, either knowing or fearing what information … Read more
The USA’s Dwindling Police Forces (By Michael Letts)
(Originally published in Front Page Mag.) The presence of police in the United States has reached quite a low number – and if we’re not careful, it’s bound to get worse. This fallout began in 2020, following the death of George Floyd. Outcry poured across the country to “defund the police,” and, sadly, many politicians, including then former vice president Joe Biden, agreed. But little did anyone realize just what kind of fallout would come … Read more
Biden finally starts building the wall (By Michael Letts)
After nearly three years in office and millions of illegal immigrants who entered the U.S. and disappeared, President Joseph Biden has finally decided there is a crisis at the southern U.S. border. This, of course, happened after he and his administration spent most of that time either ignoring the problem or denying it existed. Meanwhile, the more they delayed taking any action, the more illegal immigrants poured across the border. The problem has gotten so … Read more
Boston Democrats dig the city’s grave (By Michael Letts)
(Originally published in American Thinker.) Let me paint a scenario for you. There’s a raging fire, right? And you call the fire department to come and take care of it. You’re expecting a truck to roll in along with a dozen firefighters to fight back against the flames and keep people safe. But then only two people show up with a smaller fire truck that barely has the capacity to shoot any water. You make a … Read more
Portland residents told not to call police for help (By Michael Letts)
(Originally published in American Thinker.) Portland officials were proud of themselves in 2020 when they defunded the Police Bureau by $15 million instead of increasing it by $3 million as planned. One commissioner was even upset that the council didn’t remove more from the budget. “Please take a moment to celebrate this victory, and let it fuel your fire, because we’re not done,” Commissioner Chloe Eudaly said at the time. Along with the $15 million, another $12 million was cut because … Read more
Avi Lipkin Explains That Next Israeli Gov’t Won’t Achieve Peace DealAvi Lipkin Explains
Middle East expert Avi Lipkin tells Newsmax that hard-liner Benjamin Netanyahu will most likely lead the next Israeli government and he will “absolutely not” reach a peace agreement with the Palestinians. Lipkin, an author and co-founder of Israel Today magazine, also said he is “very fearful” of U.S.-Israeli relations under President Barack Obama’s administration. Lipkin told Newsmax’s Ashley Martella that Netanyahu’s Likud Party fared well against Tzipi Livni’s Kadima Party in the Feb. 10 elections … Read more
The latest state to attack pro-life pregnancy centers (By Jim Harden)
(Originally published in WND.) Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed a blatantly anti-pro-life law on July 27, 2023. The law, under the guise of protecting women from consumer fraud, went into effect immediately. Threatening $50,000 fines and corporate dissolution if pregnancy centers failed to use state-sanctioned speech supporting and promoting abortion in direct opposition to their pro-life mission, the law would have made criminals of every pregnancy center in the state. On Thursday, Aug. 3, U.S. … Read more
Thank Poor Border Control for Increased Terror Threat (By Michael Letts)
Democrats would like us to believe that the tens of thousands of illegal immigrants who are flooding across the southern U.S. border represent no risk to America. They are just hard-working people who are down on their luck and are looking for a chance to make a better life for themselves. Until they aren’t. According to Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data the Daily Caller News Foundation obtained, CBP flagged 74,904 illegal immigrants nationwide for potentially posing … Read more
Texas declares illegal immigrant surge an invasion (By Michael Letts)
(Originally published in American Thinker.) Texas is facing an alien invasion. Perhaps that’s not the best way to phrase that, but I couldn’t help myself. However, it is the truth. Texas Governor Greg Abbott recently declared that the state was facing an “invasion” along the southern border from foreign nationals making illegal crossings. Governor Abbott announced in a post on X (formerly Twitter): I officially declared an invasion at our border because of Biden’s policies. We deployed … Read more
BLM protests’ impact on nationwide murder rate (By Michael Letts)
(Originally published on WND.) Supporting violence leads to more violence. It seems obvious, but progressives continue to try and convince the public that the opposite is true. A study in the Journal of Urban Economics shows Black Lives Matter protests led to an 11.5% increase in nationwide murders over five years. This amounts to thousands of people who lives apparently did not matter to BLM protesters. The study looked at how the BLM protests affected police arrests, … Read more
Pro-Life Strategist Predicted Republican Underperformance in Midterms, Warns of Repeat Losses: BY Rev. James R. Harden
(Originally published in AUN-TV.) The lead-up to the 2024 Presidential election is a perfect opportunity to educate the world about the truth that all people are made in the image of God and are therefore equally valuable, without qualification—born or preborn. Abortion was a fiery issue in the first Republican Primary Debate. Democrats are talking about it too, especially after their true but very unpopular position of unfettered abortion-on-demand until birth was called out. They used it … Read more
Voters are the reason Chicago has food deserts (By Michael Letts)
(Originally published in American Thinker.) Chicagoans are seeing a variation on the saying, “Don’t bite the hand that feeds you,” playing out in the city. Areas of the city are being labeled as “food deserts” because there are no grocery stores nearby, and residents only have themselves to blame. According to ABC7 in Chicago, “In the past five years on the South Side, store closings have included a Whole Foods, two Targets and three Walmarts.” These are … Read more
A Virginia father gets justice (By Michael Letts)
A girl is sexually assaulted in her school bathroom and the perpetrator is known. Rather than prosecute the boy who claimed to be “gender fluid,” the school system ignores the crime, and has the father arrested when he calls the board out on their actions. They then transferred the boy to another high school where he did the same thing to another girl. Because of this, the superintendent and anyone else who knew what the … Read more

Dem official admits his mistake supporting ‘legalization’ of shoplifting (By Michael Letts)
(Originally published on WND.) It has been obvious for years, if not decades, that going soft on criminals does not discourage them from committing crimes. It only shows them that they can break the law with minimal consequences. As the problem has snowballed into an epidemic in the large Democrat-controlled cities, residents and businesses are fleeing the cities as soon as they can. It has reached the point that even Democrats are admitting being soft … Read more
The Deep Moral Chasm: Infanticide and Abortion in Modern Society (By Jim Harden)
(Originally published in La Familia de Broward.) The conviction of Lucy Letby, a UK neonatal nurse responsible for the tragic deaths of seven infants, has cast a grim shadow across global headlines. Beyond the immediate sorrow and shock elicited by this case, there is a complex moral dimension the world is wrestling with: the inconsistent value society places on nascent life. When considering the stark dichotomy between the widespread horror at Letby’s actions and the … Read more
Finally, A Suspect Has Been Arrested In the Shooting of Los Angeles Sheriff’s Deputy Ryan Clinkunbroomer BY MICHAEL LETTS
(Originally published on AUN-TV.) Thanks to the work of the LAPD and Clinkunbroomer’s family, a suspect has been arrested in the fatal shooting. And Michael Letts gives praise to them. There is nothing as heartbreaking as losing an officer in the line of duty. Especially someone that was ambushed by a coward that had nothing better to do than take such a life. It angers me. On the night of September 16, Los Angeles Sheriff’s … Read more

Good boy! Police dogs’ vital role in law enforcement (By Michael Letts)
(Originally published on WND.) There’s nothing like seeing a police dog that can do an amazing job. Now, mind you, it’s not a role for every sort of dog. It’s not like poodles or even “wiener dogs” could cut it. Instead, it’s a role usually reserved for German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois, Bloodhounds, Dutch Shepherds and Labrador Retrievers. Now, there could be exceptions depending on the roles needed, but these breeds are the most efficient at doing their … Read more
Kevin McCarthy Is Finally Looking Into Impeachment Options For President Biden Over His Son’s Actions – And It Should’ve Happened Much Sooner (By Michael Letts)
(Originally published on AUN-TV.) Law enforcement veteran Michael Letts is pleased with the actions by the House Committee, but there’s still work to be done. I’ve been saying it for the past couple of years now – we have a real problem with President Joe Biden being in the White House. I mean, what he’s done to our police forces is already criminal enough. Over the past couple of years, he’s made absolutely no traction … Read more
A bizarre escape by a killer from Brazil shows the sad state of our border (in)security (By Michael Letts)
(Originally published in American Thinker.) I’ve already made several pleas now to Joe Biden and his administration, explaining how our Border Patrol agents are working tirelessly to keep our country safe from migrants. But, as expected, he’s chosen to ignore such criticism, believing that his current method is working like a charm and that there’s no cause for concern. Only… there is. And if you need further proof of this, let’s take a look at … Read more
New Mexico Governor believes she is above her oath and the Constitution By Michael Letts
(Originally published on AUN-TV.) It looked a bit like the Old West in Albuquerque this past weekend as law-abiding Americans openly carried their legal firearms in public. Democrat Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham placed a 30-day ban on all firearms (except law enforcement and licensed security officers) in Albuquerque. She called it a public health emergency. Both Republicans and Democrats are calling it a violation of their Second Amendment rights. Dozens of New Mexican gun owners showed up to peacefully … Read more
How NYC errs on illegals and the city budget (By Michael Letts)
(Previously published in American Thinker.) The other shoe has dropped in New York City. Officials knew it was coming, but they still fail to recognize the reason for it happening. Mayor Eric Adams recently announced a 5% budget cut across all programs and services. Five percent may not seem like much, but the cuts show the budget moving in the wrong direction as far as politicians are concerned. Without money, they can’t buy votes with increasing … Read more
Even Democrats Think Liberal DAs Are Failing (By Michael Letts)
(Originally published in Daily Caller.) For as liberal as Californians can be, many of them have reached the limits of how far left they are willing to go, at least as far as coddling criminals goes. Voters recalled San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin last year for his soft-on-crime policies. Multiple attempts have been made to recall Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascon for the same reason. However, none of these have been successful … Read more
Progressive DA lets the criminal walk and convicts the cop
(Originally published in American Thinker.) In Minneapolis, a progressive district attorney prosecuted and convicted a police officer of vehicular homicide and later dropped all charges against the perp he was chasing related to the death of an innocent bystander. It’s an example of how leftist prosecutors and judges are perverting the law to make the innocent guilty and guilty innocent. It also shows why such extreme leftist prosecutors need to be removed from office. They aren’t doing … Read more
Another city overrun with crime, and the obvious solution is off the table (By Michael Letts)
(Originally published in American Thinker.) Over the past few months, we’ve seen several stories surrounding how some cities have fallen apart due to a rise in criminal activity and a shortage of police officers to handle it. This includes such prosperous cities as Denver, Portland, Chicago, and New York. Sadly, it’s time to add another to the list: Boston. Over the weekend, the city known for its proud community and sports teams fell victim to kids … Read more
Unarmed Citizens Handling Mental Crisis Calls (By Michael Letts)
(Originally published in Front Page Mag Why is it so hard for city officials to accept the fact that they need to bolster their budget for police officers in an effort to fight crime? They always seem to come up with these secondary solutions to solve the problem, when, in fact, they could actually make things worse. I’m talking about Seattle officials recently deciding to stop police and fire departments from answering mental crisis calls, … Read more
Schools are bringing back cops after ‘Defund Police’ craze (By Michael Letts)
(Previously published in WND.) After every school shooting, anti-gun activists call for more restrictions on our Second Amendment rights. When Democrats were in the street rioting after George Floyd’s death, a common cry was “Defund the Police.” Since school systems are predominantly run by liberals, it should come as no surprise that they also took up the call. Many of them, particularly those in major cities run by Democrats, reduced their budgets for school resource … Read more
Austin’s Nightmarish Escalating Crime (By Michael Letts)
(Previously published in Front Page Mag.) On the heels of the death of George Floyd, hundreds flooded to the streets, convincing city officials that cutting the budget of our police officers would be a necessary step in “making things right.” But now, years later, we’re seeing the effect of such a campaign, which is not only hurting thousands of fellow officers, but also the cities that they desperately tried so hard to protect. One of … Read more
