President Trump’s Post-Arraignment Comments Reinforce How Unequal Justice Is Destroying America (Guest: Michael Letts)

by

Following his arraignment in New York earlier this week, former President Donald Trump had no shortage of commentary surrounding the lack of justice stemming from the case. During his speech at Mar-a-Lago Tuesday night, Trump discussed how government agencies were doing wrong when it came to hunting particular political parties. “The FBI and DOJ relentlessly pursuing Republicans,” he noted in his speech. Trump’s words resounded with many, with him concluding, “The U.S. is a mess.” … Read more

To Fight Crime, Punish Criminals! (By Michael Letts)

by

(Originally published in CNS News.) Until liberal judges start convicting criminals and sentencing them to appropriate prison times, the crime problem won’t go away. While the wrongdoers carry most of the blame for crime in America, overworked police who don’t have the resources to catch offenders, democrat prosecutors who won’t take cases to court, and liberal judges who won’t sentence lawbreakers are also contributing factors to the bigger problem. One disturbing example of this is … Read more

The L.A. District Attorney Can Barely Keep His Own Employees Safe (By Michael Letts)

by

(Originally published in CNS News.) Why should Los Angeles residents depend on District Attorney George Gascón to protect them when he can’t even protect his own employees? Earlier this month, Gascón started shuttling employees who work in his office and are assigned to downtown’s Civic Center area to and from their cars. The reason for this is the fact that crime in the area has created a safety concern for those employees, according to an … Read more

Why did Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon refuse to charge an armed suspect that threatened a school? (By Michael Letts)

by

(Originally published in American Thinker.) The 2024 election can’t come soon enough when it comes to George Gascon.  During his time as the District Attorney for the city of Los Angeles, he’s made a lot of questionable moves that have left police fuming. He’s currently facing over a dozen civil suit claims, and recently paid $1.5 million to L.A. County prosecutor Shawn Randolph over a flubbed case. But more than that, Gascon is a danger … Read more

Will NH’s ‘Rainbow Reload’ Get Labeled a Right-Wing Militia? (By Michael Letts)

by

(Originally published in NH Journal.) “If the world is dangerous, then you have to be dangerous back,” saidFin Smith, the organizer for Rainbow Reload in New Hampshire. What he didn’t say is that people on the left believe that only applies to them. Rainbow Reload is one of a growing number of “pink pistol clubs.” These are clubs for LGBTQ+ people and people of color, where they can meet and learn about firearms and improve their … Read more

What Cops in NYC and Elsewhere Are Saying About the Trump Surrender (Guest: Michael Letts)New York Police Department Is Preparing For War Over Trump Surrender (Guest: Michael Letts)

by

Undercover detectives are being forced to put on police uniforms to become ‘beat cops’ for political photo ops that effectively blows their cover, potentially ruining years long undercover investigations, just to ‘protect’ our nation from Trump loyalists. Which is more dangerous, the Q Anon Shamon or drug lords? What cops in NYC and elsewhere are saying about the imminent Trump surrender, in a statement by Police officer Michael Letts who is available to interview: “All … Read more

The Nashville Shooting and Heroic Police (By Michael Letts)

by

(Originally published in Front Page Mag.) It always breaks my heart to see these “active shooter” events that are ravaging our country. But what’s even more heartbreaking is when these monsters target children. Innocent kids that are enjoying their lives and just being kids. And what took place in Nashville earlier this week rocked me to my core. A Christian school came under attack by a 28-year old suspect, who killed three adults and three … Read more

D.C.’s New Voting Law Proves it Doesn’t Want Self-Governance (By Michael Letts)

by

(Originally published on CNS News.) Pushing for Washington D.C. statehood is a popular issue among Democrats. They will say that it’s because the residents deserve representation, and they should be able to govern themselves. Currently, under the D.C. Home Rule Act, Congress reviews all legislation passed by the city council before it can become law and can block any laws it doesn’t agree with. It also has authority over the city’s budget. Self-governance is not the … Read more

Former President Donald Trump Has Just Been Indicted – But Now Police Officers Could Be Paying the Price

by

Law enforcement veteran Michael Letts explains why the indictment charge won’t be easy for New York – and possibly the rest of the country. It’s been rumored for some time now, but, mid-Thursday evening, former President Donald Trump was officially indicted for various purported payouts from a political campaign fund, including one to ex-porn star Stormy Daniels for around $150,000. The indictment alleges that Trump attempted to maintain silence of an alleged affair decades ago … Read more

The Police Are To Be Commended In Their Quick Response During the Nashville School Shooting – But Could Anything Have Been Done To Prevent It? (Guest: Michael Letts)

by

Law enforcement veteran Michael Letts discusses the quick action by the Nashville Police, and what should happen next to prevent “active shooter” events in the future. 2023 has already seen its fair share of “active shooter” events; and just about three months in, they show no signs of stopping. A 28-year old suspect shot and killed three children and three adults at a private Christian school in Nashville, before police were able to successfully shoot … Read more

Portland Doesn’t Have Enough Police Officers Even for Those Willing to Pay for Their Services (By: Michael Letts)

by

(Originally published in CNS News.) Nike is one of Portland, Oregon’s largest employers. The shoe manufacturer headquarters is located there and so is their flagship retail store. However, the store closed last year in the wake of the increased crime that has plagued city businesses following the George Floyd riots. In 2022, Portland had 101 homicides, which broke the record of 92 from 2021. The National Retail Federation also reported that in 2021, retailers saw an average … Read more

SVB Bank Bailout Promise is a Big Communist Mess (By Michael Letts)

by

Usually I like discussing what’s happening with the police and what more we can do to help out our men and women in blue. But there seems to be quite a bit of injustice surrounding what the American banking system is doing for some clients in the wake of the fallout from Silicon Valley Bank. So, of course, it’s worth discussing. As you’re probably well aware by now, the financial institution practically collapsed this month, … Read more

No, Mr. President, Mexico Is Not Safer Than The US (By Michael Letts)

by

(Originally published in Rense News.) With the recent kidnapping of four Americans in Mexico and the subsequent deaths of two of them, Mexico President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador made the provably false statement that Mexico is safer than the United States.  Obrador is facing increased criticism for his inability to control the cartels in his country.   This has led to the U.S. State Department issue a travel advisory for many places in the country. It also urged Americans not … Read more

DC Police Officers – and Maybe Even the FBI – Played an Undercover Role During the January 6th Riots, According to Prosecutor

by

Law enforcement veteran Michael Letts can’t wrap his mind around how the FBI planted officers at the scene. In the midst of several people being tried and convicted for their role during what occurred at the U.S. Capitol back on January 6th, 2021, a case surrounding a particular suspect has brought forth an interesting revelation. According to The Epoch Times, William Pope of Topeka, Kansas was trying to get video footage of what occurred that … Read more

Rand Paul Says Alvin Bragg Should Be ‘Put in Jail’ (By Michael Letts)

by

(Initially published in Front Page Mag.) There’s been a lot of talk about Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg reportedly considering criminal charges against former President Donald Trump over his campaign payout to keep his (alleged) affair with former porn star Stormy Daniels under wraps. Now, I’ve already discussed at great length why I don’t believe such charges would stick – especially since what some call a “payoff” is far from illegal. But Senator Rand Paul … Read more

Why Was Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon Refusing to Charge an Armed Suspect That Threatened a School? (Guest: Michael Letts)

by

Law enforcement veteran Michael Letts sees yet another problematic reason that the controversial D.A. needs to go. Currently, when suspects go and threaten schools with firearms, they need to be criminally charged. Unless, Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon says otherwise. A California suspect was recently arrested following his posting of threats towards a school on social media. Not only that, but he also had possession of a number of stolen guns. Still, despite all this, Gascon … Read more

Attorney General Merrick Garland Needs to Tell the Full Truth (By Michael Letts)

by

(Originally published in CNS News.) After taking what felt like an eternity to get him there, Attorney General Merrick Garland finally went face-to-face with the Senate Judiciary Committee, who was looking to get answers on a number of burning subjects. These included an unfortunate FBI memo that has since been withdrawn, as well as complaints surrounding the Department of Justice and, of course, Hunter Biden. But it just seemed like a field of denials, with … Read more

Where’s the Outcry Over Mexico’s Announced Interference in U.S. Elections? (By Michael Letts)

by

(Originally published in CNS News.) After the 2016 election, the media hyped Russian interference in the election. Although it was proven false, they still continue to report it as fact. At the same time, they are ignoring that Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has announced that his country will be interfering the U.S. elections to help elect Democrats. He said that Mexico will launch an “information campaign” that will target the Republicans who are … Read more

Employees Are Fighting Back Against Vaccine Mandates – And Winning (By Michael Letts)

by

(Originally published in The Western Journal.) You would think that the people tasked with enforcing the law would know when they are breaking the law. Apparently not in New York, where the New York Public Employment Relations Board has told the New York State Unified Court System it must rehire and provide back pay with interest to employees fired because of the system’s vaccine mandate. The Public Employment Relations Board ruled that the court system … Read more

Maryland wants to treat murderers like children (By Michael Letts)

by

(Originally published in American Thinker.) A Democrat mayor of Washington, D.C.; dozens of Democrat senators and representatives; and a Democrat president all thought it was a bad idea for the District to pass a law that reduced sentences on some violent crimes in the capital city.  It would have made the Democrats look soft on crime and encourage criminals at a time when voters are demanding action be taken to reduce the soaring crime rates in … Read more

When You Think About It, Is Sen. Rand Paul’s Decree To Have Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg “Put In Jail” Really Such an Absurd Idea? (Guest: Michael Letts)

by

Law enforcement veteran Michael Letts believes that the Senator may be onto something when it comes to justice. Just days ago, former President Donald Trump noted that Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg would be issuing an arrest warrant for him this week. Though that has yet to take place, some believe it could literally happen at any time.  That said, Senator Rand Paul sounded off with his own opinion on the matter. In a tweet, Paul … Read more

U.S. Banks Are Bailing Out CCP-Linked Silicon Valley Bank Depositors (Guest: Michael Letts)

by

Law enforcement veteran Michael Letts believe there’s something else at play in regards to the controversial bailout. It’s been just about a week since the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank, one of the United States’ most notable financial institutions. But it’s what’s emerged from the fallout that certain news outlets have disclosed Per this report from National Review, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen confirmed during a recent Congressional hearing that depositors with ties to the Chinese Communist Party … Read more

Are the Days of ‘Woke’, Inefficient Prosecutors Coming to an End? (By Michael Letts)

by

(Originally published in CNS News.) Former Baltimore City State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby was one of the early stars among “woke” prosecutors before it became a strategy of George Soros. Now, she is facing her own legal worries against a prosecutor who isn’t as bad at his job as she was. Mosby served two terms as the Baltimore City State’s Attorney and became a national figure when she attempted to prosecute city police officers in the 2015 … Read more

The DC Council Wouldn’t Protect Citizens, So Congress Did (By Michael Letts)

by

(Originally published in The Western Journal.) Isn’t it funny how Democrats who don’t want criminals prosecuted and citizens protected when bad things are happening in other cities do a 180 and start sounding like Republicans when their own safety might be in jeopardy? The most recent example of this is the U.S. Senate’s passage of a resolution to block revisions to the Washington, D.C., criminal code that would have lowered penalties for many violent criminal offenses, such … Read more

ATF Keeping Track of Guns Purchased By Law-Abiding Americans (By Michael Letts)

by

(Originally published in Front Page Mag.) For months now, I’ve been reading a number of reports on the Federal Bureau of Investigation. And not the good kind. Aside from their debacle of a “raid” on the Mar-a-Lago estate, the agency has been under question over its surveillance. Looking into “angry parents” who may have said something online following the treatment of their kid. Looking into good-hearted Christians merely because of what they choose to believe. … Read more

“They Are Arresting the Wrong President?,” asks Police Officer Michael Letts

by

The law enforcement veteran explains everything wrong with this week’s potential arrest of former President Donald Trump and encourages police officers to defy arrest orders. As the nation braces for one of the most politicalized and weaponized tactics in the history of The United States of America, the local Manhattan DA Briggs is issuing an indictment against former 45th President Donald Trump for alleged criminal activity involving a payoff (hush money) from political campaign funds to … Read more

George Gascon Ignores Criminal and Punishes Prosecutor (By Michael Letts)

by

(Originally published in CNS News.) In the world of woke politics and justice, misgendering is a worse crime than child molestation and murder. It shouldn’t be surprising that the most recent example of this can be found in California.  It was reported recently on Fox News that Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon suspended lead prosecutor Shea Sanna for five days without pay. So, what sort of malfeasance did this prosecutor engage in that led to her … Read more

If Democrat Mayors Want To Keep Power, They’ll Have To Do Something They’ve Never Done (By Michael Letts)

by

(Originally published in The Daily Caller.) In the wake of Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot coming in an embarrassing third place in her re-election bid, it looks like another Democrat mayor may lose her office because she is endangering her constituents. Public safety was a major issue in the Chicago mayoral primary, and UK Daily Mail noted, “Throughout her term, [Lightfoot] has been criticized for her soft-on-crime approach, which has led to massive increases in violence in … Read more

The Federal Government May Be Using Private Information to Violate Constitutional Rights (Guest: Michael Letts)

by

Law enforcement veteran Michael Letts discusses a new report regarding the “monitoring” of “innocent people.  Is the government keeping a close eye on its citizens through something as simple as gun purchases? A new report from The Epoch Times indicates that could be the case. The report notes that agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) have been “monitoring innocent people” to keep track of both their general income and gun purchases – … Read more

Seattle’s Settlement of “Autonomous Zone” Protests Shows Just How Out of Touch Its Local Government Is With Citizens and Police (By Michael Letts)

by

(Originally published in CNS News.) Things have not been good for Seattle over the past couple of years. We’ve seen the city reach an all-time high in criminal activity, with some citizens feeling unsafe and some businesses needing to move to new locations. And the situation surrounding the poorly funded police still hasn’t been resolved. But now, the city appears to be paying the price. Per this report from Fox Business, Seattle has settled a … Read more

Lori Lightfoot’s Exit Can’t Come Soon Enough – Chicago Can Finally Move Forward (By Michael Letts)

by

(Originally appeared in The Western Journal.) “Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.” That’s my final statement to Lori Lightfoot, who served as Chicago mayor for the past few years and practically ran the city into the ground when it came to both a massive increase in crime and the diminishing of its once noble police force. In case you missed the news, Lightfoot missed out on the chance at a second … Read more

Keeping Repeat Offenders Behind Bars Easier Said Than Done (By Michael Letts)

by

(Originally published in NewsMax.) It’s true what they say. Some people just never learn. You could send criminals to jail for years, but the minute they get out, they run the risk of falling back into old habits and committing another crime. That’s not to say everyone is like this, but we’ve seen repeat offenders end up back in jail — particularly those that commit homicide again. During a mayoral public safety media briefing in Washington, … Read more

Free the Innocent and end the Jan. 6 Lie! (By Michael Letts)

by

(Originally published on CNS News.) Tucker Carlson played some of the video footage viewed by the House of Representatives’ January 6 Committee. Not surprisingly, it showed the opposite of what the Democrats have been saying about the events of January 6, 2021, in Washington, D.C.  It was not a Republican insurrection hell-bent on overthrowing the government. It was closer to a maze created by Democrats to create an impression of insurrection probably so they could … Read more

New York Continues To Have Problems As More Than 200 Officers Have Already Resigned This Year – With More On the Way (Guest: Michael Letts)

by

Law enforcement veteran Michael Letts believes the city needs to take care of its police force – while there’s still one around. While Mayor Eric Adams insists that “safe streets” and “public safety is a prerequisite to our prosperity” (based on comments he made previously in the weekend), someone apparently didn’t tell the New York Police Department. A report from the New York Post reveals that police officers are resigning at a record pace. The report notes that … Read more

The Real Reason Campuses are Unsafe (By Michael Letts)

by

(Originally published in CNS News.) An 18-year-old allegedly murdered a Temple University police officer this month. Officer Chris Fitzgerald is the first Temple University police officer killed in the line of duty as the university and city are seeing crime increase. So many colleges and universities talk about safe spaces because they worry about what someone might say near them or how someone might look at them. All the time, they don’t realize that attitudes like that … Read more

Two-tier Justice System planned under guise of Domestic Extremism Bill (Guest: Michael Letts)

by

Law enforcement veteran Michael Letts explains why Americans should be concerned over this potential bill. These days, everyone has the power of free speech at their side. However, if a new controversial bill makes its way through the Senate, that could very well change. Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson has begun pushing a new bill that fights back against what he deems is “domestic extremism.” With it, according to Fox News, it would be about “proactively fighting … Read more

Look What Happened When Recall of Woke LA District Attorney Failed (By: Michael Letts)

by

(Originally published in The Western Journal.) In the world of woke politics and justice, “misgendering” is a worse crime than child molestation and murder. It shouldn’t be surprising that the most recent example of this can be found in California. It was recently reported that Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon had suspended lead prosecutor Shea Sanna. So what sort of malfeasance did this prosecutor do that led to his suspension? “I was suspended for speaking … Read more

Austin City Council’s Decision Shows No Regard for Future Safety of Citizens and Police Officers (By Michael Letts)

by

(Originally appeared in CNS News.) I will never understand why local city governments don’t want to take better care of their police. Maybe they don’t think they’re worth the budget. Or maybe it’s the way the “defund the police” riots following the death of George Floyd somehow convinced them they’re more trouble than they should be. Whatever the case, the Austin City Council is setting an example right now of how not to treat police officers. And … Read more

Does DC Police Chief Robert Contee Have the Right Idea For Keeping “Violent People In Jail” To Bring Down Homicides? (Guest: Michael Letts)

by

The law enforcement veteran explains why Contee may have a point, but a lingering crime bill could stand in the way. Crime continues to sit at an all-time high in several states, and Washington D.C. Metropolitan Police Chief Robert Contee seems to have a proper solution for this – “Keep violent people in jail.” During a recent Mayoral Public Safety Media event in the city, Contee made this point following the attack on Minnesota Democrat … Read more

Memphis Doesn’t Need More Police. It Needs Better Police! (By Michael Letts)

by

(Originally appeared in CNS News.) Memphis is becoming a war zone as the police find themselves more cautious about how any actions they take might be perceived.  First, there was the death of Tyre Nichols at the hands of five now-former Memphis Police officers in January. That set off national outrage and protests after video footage of his death was released. It had activists crying about racism in the police department even though the five … Read more

National Archives’ Actions Send Message That Bill of Rights is Worthless (By Michael Letts)

by

Lately, the divisive nature of modern politics has started to show in areas of government where they do not belong, such as the FBI. Moreover, the National Archives and Smithsonian Institution have started to take sides in political debates. In early February, the National Archives and Smithsonian museums apologized after asking March for Life participants to cover or remove attire displaying messages such as “Pro-Life” and “Love Saves Lives.” Security officers asked them to cover … Read more

Violence Broke out Against a New Police Training Center in Atlanta (By Michael Letts)

by

(Originally published in CNS News.) Violence flared up once again at the new police training center that is being built in Atlanta. The $90 million police training project was meant to improve their morale and increase recruitment in the wake of the George Floyd protests,according to Fox News.

Merrick Garland’s Unsatisfactory Answers to Senate Judiciary Committee’s Legitimate Questions (By Michael Letts)

by

(Originally published in The Daily Signal.) After what seemed like an eternity getting him there, Attorney General Merrick Garland finally went face-to-face on Wednesday with the Senate Judiciary Committee, Republican members of which were looking to get answers on a number of contentious issues. Those included an unfortunate FBI memo that has since been withdrawn, as well as complaints surrounding the Department of Justice and, of course, first son Hunter Biden. But Garland’s testimony consisted of little more than … Read more

Justice Has Failed the Victims of Michigan State – And It Cannot Fail Again (By Michael Letts)

by

(Originally published in CNS News.) Sometimes things within the criminal justice system just don’t make sense. The way that the Federal Bureau of Investigation continues to go after the wrong people instead of focusing on the real criminals is ridiculous. Some people seem to get off with a petty warning instead of serving the time they deserve. And then there’s Anthony Dwayne McRae. This 43-year old strolled onto the campus of Michigan State University Monday … Read more

Pennsylvania’s new governor blows it on the death penalty (By Michael Letts)

by

(Originally published in American Thinker.) Democrat Pennsylvania governor Josh Shapiro has said he will not sign any execution warrants while he is 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 have been imprisoned … Read more

Anti-Gun Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot Defeated (Guest: Michael Letts)

After a troublesome few years that have seen the city of Chicago become a haven for growing criminal activity, Mayor Lori Lightfoot is finally on her way out.

Lightfoot Out: When Even Leftists Have Had Enough (By Michael Letts)

by

(Originally published in Front Page Mag.) Even liberal Democrats can reach a breaking point. That’s what Chicago’s soon-to-be ex-Mayor Lori Lightfoot discovered when she lost her Democratic mayoral primary to Paul Vallas.
