Here are 10 things you need to know about body armor

by

Mayor of Boston: Ignore Theft, Stop Registering Gangs (Guest: Michael Letts)

by

The mayor of Boston, Michelle Wu, had her deep liberal ideology exposed as a 2021 mayoral candidate questionnaire revealed she is in favor of “shuttering the Boston police gang database” and is in favor of a highly-controversial “do-not-prosecute list.”  The crimes on that list that she believes should not be prosecuted include “shoplifting, larceny, disorderly conduct, receiving stolen property, driving with a suspended license, breaking and entering with property damage, wanton and malicious destruction of … Read more

Texas got it right in self-defense case (By Michael Letts)

by

(Originally published in American Thinker.) It’s always frustrating to see a case surrounding a man who’s clearly innocent — in this particular matter, simply acting on self-defense. Daniel Scott Perry was a former U.S. Army sergeant working as an Uber driver back in July 2020.  As he was working the streets of Austin, a Black Lives Matter mob surrounded him suddenly, rushing “to obstruct, strike, pound, smash and kick his vehicle,” according to reports.

Joe Biden Looks To Take Advantage of the Outcome of the Donald Trump Hush Money Trial (Guest: Michael Letts)

Bye-bye, DEI: UNC has had enough (By Michael Letts)

by

(Originally published in WND.) What is DEI, you ask?

ICC’s Pursuit of Israeli Leaders Beyond Misguided (By Michael Letts)

by

(Originally published in NewsMax.) The International Criminal Court (ICC) has once again demonstrated its troubling bias by seeking arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. The charges against them — “willful killing,” “starvation of civilians as a method of warfare,” and “willfully causing great suffering” — are gross misrepresentations of Israel’s efforts to defend itself against Hamas terrorists in Gaza. The ICC’s move to target Netanyahu is unprecedented, marking the first … Read more

Schools Are Fighting Back Against DEI, and For Good Reason (Guest: Michael Letts)

by

This Judge Is Using Racial Bias and “Wokeness” In His Decision Making – And It’s a Bad Look (Guest: Michael Letts)

by

Could China Potentially Unleash a Crippling Cyberattack On the United States? (Guest: Michael Letts)

by

Biden’s Silence on Campus Protests Beyond Disturbing (By Michael Letts)

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

by

The FBI persecutes not prosecutes By Michael Letts
