(Originally published in Front Page Mag.) To remind you of what the First Amendment is: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” I feel this is important to bring up, because now, more than ever, our right … Read more

(Originally published in NewsMax.) In the United States of America, justice stands as the cornerstone of our society, upholding our freedoms and liberties. However, what happens when that cornerstone crumbles? When the very institutions entrusted to uphold the law become tainted by corruption? Our justice system has been compromised, and the consequences are dire. The misconduct and lawbreaking within the FBI and the Department of Justice (DOJ), the highest law enforcement agencies in our land, … Read more

(Originally published in Fox News.) The plunge into lawlessness can be attributed to liberal policies and inept governance. The defund the police movement continues to wreak havoc on the streets of Chicago, as lawlessness and crime reach unprecedented levels. The city that was once known for its vibrant culture and thriving communities has now become a hotbed of violence and chaos. As a conservative and a former policeman, I am deeply concerned about the state of … Read more
(Originally published in American Thinker.) Amid discussions surrounding the future of the U.S. military, there are voices advocating for the employment of mercenaries as a potential solution. While some presidential advisors argue in favor of the benefits mercenaries may offer, it is important to critically examine the implications of such a strategy. Instead of expanding the military through the use of mercenaries, an alternative approach would involve reevaluating foreign engagements. By focusing on avoiding unnecessary … Read more
(Originally appeared in NewsMax.) San Francisco is imploding, and they have no one to blame but themselves. The government and citizens turned on the police and the rule of law in an effort to virtue signal, and it came back to bite them. Those actions just a few years ago started a ripple effect that even when San Franciscans realized the problem, they couldn’t stop it. It had become an out-of-control snowball, rolling down a … Read more
(Originally published in WND.) It was in March that a transgender named Audrey Hale entered the Covenant School in Tennessee and murdered three 9-year-old students and three staff members. Hale would have undoubtedly killed more if not stopped by quick-acting police. Among the evidence collected in the wake of the massacre was a “manifesto” people believe explained Hale’s motivation. Rather than releasing this information to the public, the authorities quickly suppressed it. Tennessee U.S. Rep. … Read more
(Originally published in Western Journal.) Recently, a Gallup poll revealed that the number of Americans who identify as conservative has risen dramatically. Based on the survey, 38 percent of Americans consider themselves conservative on social issues — the highest that number has been since 2012. For that matter, economic conservatism also rose, with 44 percent of Americans taking that route. By comparison, the percentage of individuals who identify as liberal on social issues has dropped, going … Read more

(Originally published in American Thinker.) New York is inviting criminals to move to the state. Not literally, but its actions once again are showing that it won’t hold criminals accountable. It began with liberal politicians decriminalizing certain crimes and forcing police to prioritize the calls they answer because of shortages of police officers. However, some criminals do get arrested. If that happened, liberal district attorneys drop charges, or liberal judges dismiss cases. If criminals are unlucky enough to … Read more

(Originally posted in American Thinker.) The very people who wanted to defund the police are now finding themselves defunded. Why? Technically, the answer would be mismanagement of funds, but in part, it could be said that they weren’t living up to their name. People are starting to see beyond the name and realize that not all black lives mattered, just the ones who were friends and family with the organization’s management. In some regards, Black … Read more
Looking back on the horrifying incident – and what we may have learned from it. (Originally posted in Front Page Mag.) It still frustrates me to see what unfolded in Uvalde, Texas last year at Robb Elementary. On May 24th, 2022, a lone gunman entered the school, killing 19 students and two teachers while injuring 17 others. It’s considered the deadliest school shooting in Texas history. But the thing that many are still looking at … Read more
(Originally published in NewsMax.) Asheville is a small- to medium-sized Southern city of 95,000 people. It’s not often in the national news as an example of something good or bad, but it is having deal with the fallout of the “Defund the Police” movement. We have come to expect large cities like Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York to have problems with spiking crime. We have seen some small town devastated by the horrendous “Defund … Read more
(Originally published in American Thinker.) President Joe Biden clearly stole pro-life messaging for his commencement speech at traditionally black Howard University, saying, “We’re all created equal in the image of God and deserve to be treated equally throughout our lives.” As a pro-life strategist, the belief I have been articulating for years, motivating peaceful pro-life behavior, is that all people are equally valuable, without qualification, deserving of blessing and protection precisely and only because we are all made … Read more
(Originally published in Front Page Magazine.) But why let them off easy over it? For the longest time now, I’ve been questioning the actions of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Asking why they would be going after Christians over simple comments or, for that matter, parents who exhibit “bad behavior” when discussing sporting events. And don’t even get me started on why they led an “invasion” onto former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate. But Special … Read more
(Originally published in WND.) So, over the past few months I’ve noticed something rather disturbing: more and more reports indicating that the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) may not have the best interests at heart when it comes to balanced justice. I’ve heard whistleblower reports about preferential treatment for certain types (like President Biden’s son Hunter), as well as stories where innocent Americans were under investigation because of their … Read more

(Originally published in the American Thinker.) Portland, OR was one of the leading voices in the “Defund the Police” movement in the wake of George Floyd’s death. Politicians gave into the demands of like-minded rioters and activists and began cutting the budget of the city’s Bureau of Police. On its face, this should have been seen as a bad decision since the very people making the demands were rioting and damaging private and public property. … Read more
(Originally published in Front Page Magazine.) Why do police officers leave their job? A few years prior, it could have been for a number of smaller reasons. Retirement was a big reason, though a certain few probably feel as if the job isn’t for them anymore. But those reasons sure have escalated over the past few years. Thanks to the “defund the police” movement that thousands of rioters and politicians have followed, police officers have … Read more
(Originally published in American Thinker.) Kim Gardner is out as St. Louis circuit attorney. She resigned on May 4. Part of her resignation letter to Governor Mike Parson says, “Stepping back is the most powerful thing I can do to stop these outsiders from taking your views and your rights. I wanted to help the people of St. Louis when I took this job, and that’s still my north star. So, with a heavy heart but a … Read more

(Originally published in Front Page Mag.) So you might have already known about the U.S. shooting down a Chinese surveillance balloon over U.S. shores just a few weeks ago – an act, by the way, that China wasn’t exactly too crazy about. But little did I realize just what kind of occupancy they would be taking up here. I’ve read two different reports now involving the Chinese Communist Party (or CCP for short) and how … Read more
(Originally published on The American Thinker.) Democrat Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro has said he would not sign any execution warrants while he was governor. He even called for the Pennsylvania legislature to abolish the death penalty. Never say never, Governor. There are exceptions to every rule. In this case, some people deserve the death penalty. The responsibility of the government to determine who lives and who dies in capital crimes should never be taken lightly. Innocent people … Read more
(Originally appeared in The Western Journal.) Walmart announced its decision to close half of its stores in Chicago around the same time that hundreds of teens rioted for three days for no reason and promised more of the same. Politicians and media say there is no connection. It just shows how deceptive and ignorant they are. So how can this be? In a city with 2.7 million people, how can one of the most successful … Read more
(Originally appeared in The Republican Journal.) The recent Nashville school shooting, along with tragically too many others, is raising a national debate. My question is: “Would banning guns or school choice be a better answer to reducing school violence?” Banning guns has obviously been proposed many times, but this may be the first time you hear school choice proposed as a possible answer to school violence. Let’s compare the two. If a law banning guns … Read more

(Originally published in American Thinker.) A mob assaults a woman and holds her for ransom. The violence is caught on video, but no arrests are made. And a San Francisco State University official praises the criminals. Is it any surprise that crime is running rampant in San Francisco and California? The politicians can’t figure out who the criminals are. Earlier this month, a transgender mob assaulted Riley Gaines, a former NCAA women’s swimming champion, who, unlike “Lia” Thomas, is a … Read more
(Originally published in Front Page Mag.) How justice works – and doesn’t. Earlier this week, Donald Trump became the first former President to surrender to indictment charges brought upon him by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. Trump faces 34 felony counts of falsifying business records, including a reported payout to former porn star Stormy Daniels. (He would plead “not guilty” to these charges before returning to his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.) Bragg insists that he … Read more

(Originally published on NewsMax.) Oregon, and especially, Portland, have had a shortage of public defenders for years. An American Bar Association report last year found that Oregon has only 31% of the attorneys it needs. This means the state needs nearly 1,300 more public defenders. The problem is now at a crisis level, in part, because of the soaring crime in cities like Portland. Indigent defendants are having to wait longer for their cases to go to … Read more
(Originally published in Western Journal.) I think we’ve seen just about enough from the FBI to take action. Over the past few months, we’ve heard from several whistleblowers (mainly former employees) who have had enough of Director Christopher Wray’s controversial decisions. This, on top of what we’ve seen at Mar-a-Lago and surrounding investigations of Hunter Biden, has just led to an amazing amount of imbalance. And apparently, the House Judiciary Committee has seen enough, too. … Read more
