New York City’s Official Response To Overturned Vaccine Mandate Shows Just How Ignorant It’s Become (Guest: Michael Letts)

by

Law enforcement veteran Michael Letts explains what kind of a mess the city is in right now – and how it could get worse. Earlier this week, Supreme Court Justice Ralph Porzio overturned the vaccine mandate New York put in place a couple of years ago, which led to the termination of 1,700 employees (including police officers) that refused to get it. However, in response, instead of the city doing anything to hire back said … 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.

Chicago Crime at All-Time High — Time for Kimberly Foxx to Go (Guest: Michael Letts)

by

(Originally published 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

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

The FBI Hasn’t Provided an Accurate Count of Armed Citizens That Have Thwarted Active Shooters – But Why? (Guest: Michael Letts)

by

InVest USA’s Michael Letts speaks on the latest supposed actions by the troubled agency. Many people have been calling for concealed-carry to be passed nationwide as a potential solution to the many active shooter events that have taken place this year. However, the government seems stagnant on that solution without real numbers – but there may be a reason why those haven’t been provided. A new report from the Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC), according to … Read more

President Biden Is Blaming Republicans For Trying To Defund the Police and the FBI – But Whose Fault Really Is It? (Guest: Michael Letts)

by

InVest USA’s Michael Letts takes a closer look at the President’s recent round of finger pointing. Ever since several states gave in to the “defund the police” demands by politicians and citizens alike, they’ve since seen a massive increase in criminal activity. That has forced President Joe Biden and company to reverse course, stating that the police should be funded and even working a bill through Congress that could provide them funding. That said, Biden … 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

South American Police Chief Believes There’s Going To Be a “Terror Wave” In the United States – Should We Be Worried? (Guest: Michael Letts)

by

With all the talk of migrants being sent to Martha’s Vineyard, some concern has been growing about convicts being released from Venezuela and being sent to the Southern border.

This is based on a report from the Department of Homeland Security, instructing border agents to “look for violent … 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

More Illegal Aliens Are Working Their Way Into the U.S., Despite the Tireless Effort By Border Agents (Guest: Michael Letts)

New Orleans Police Are Turning To Civilians For Support As Crime Continues To Grow Within the City (Guest: Michael Letts)

by

But the real question is…is it enough? While many departments are waiting (patiently) for the recent police bill to make its way through the Senate, New Orleans police are taking matters into their own hands. They have begun hiring civilians to assist with staffing issues within the department, while police officers patrol the streets to try and bring down the massive crimewave hitting the city. “The goal is for our officers to feel safe, so … Read more

The House Has Finally Passed Funding For Police – But What Limitations Does It Have? (Guest: Michael Letts)

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

A new video report from Fox News reveals that Democrats aren’t going to move forward on any sort of police program until after the elections that take place in November. … Read more
