Are Sanctuary Cities Havens for Criminals, Terrorists? (By Michael Letts)

by

(Originally published in NewsMax.) The left desperately want us to believe that the millions of illegal immigrants coming across the southern U.S. border are simply honest, hard-working people who want a chance at a better life. This is part of the reason why some of the large Democrat-controlled cities declared themselves sanctuary cities whose city agencies, including police, were instructed not to cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. The media demonized President Donald … Read more

Why the Revealing of the “Jeffrey Epstein List” Is Important When It Comes To Justice

by

Law enforcement veteran Michael Letts feels that the revealing of the list could lead to further investigations of potential suspects. All eyes are on the possible reveal of the “Jeffrey Epstein List” this week, with a number of names – including celebrities and politicians – set to be revealed. Some of the names from this list have already been circulated and speculated – including former President Bill Clinton – based on the flight log passenger … Read more

InVest USA Looking To Push New York Police Department Morale With Vest Donations

by

Law enforcement veteran Michael Letts explains why his company is providing support where Mayor Eric Adams will not. Times have been tough in New York lately, what with thousands of police officers leaving their posts, migrants flooding into the city, and crime at an all-time high. And yet, Mayor Eric Adams is doing very little to alleviate the problem. He’s created a hiring freeze on the NYPD while trying to figure out the growing number … Read more

How Much Worse Will Things Get For New York In 2024? (Guest: Michael Letts)

by

The law enforcement veteran discusses the collapsing state of the iconic city, including the government’s refusal to hire more police officers. New York has seen finer days. What used to be the “city so nice, they named it twice” has now fallen into disruption. Thousands of officers have either retired or resigned from duty from the New York Police Department due to poor treatment; crime has reached an all-time high; and a migrant crisis now … Read more

Can We Reteach Criminals to Fear Police? (By Michael Letts)

by

(Originally published in NewsMax.) Police walk a fine line. They want and need the public to trust them, but they want criminals to fear them. Lean too far in one direction, and they become ineffective. A good example of this can be seen with what has happened with police since the George Floyd riots. The media painted police in the worst light possible and the public lost their trust in them. Because of that, not … Read more

Are Universities Fueling the Fire When It Comes To Pro-Palestinian Protests? (Guest: Michael Letts)

by

Law enforcement veteran Michael Letts explains why universities could be setting a dangerous precedent when it comes to said protests. Though many are enjoying the holiday season, it seems that there are some that want nothing more than to tarnish it with their feelings against Israel. One incident in New York City saw hundreds of protestors clashing with police officers and staging a bloody Nativity scene, noting that “Christmas is canceled.” And overseas in Australia, protestors interrupted … Read more

Why Does the Colorado Supreme Court Decision Against Donald Trump Being On the Ballot Set a Dangerous Precedent?

by

Law enforcement veteran Michael Letts believes no good can come from the recent decision. There’s been a lot of talk since a decision that came from Colorado this week to forcibly remove former President Donald Trump from its 2024 ballot for his involvement in the January 2021 “insurrection.” The Court made a close decision on the matter, opting to remove Trump based on inconclusive evidence from a case that’s still ongoing. And law enforcement veteran … Read more

How Governor Abbott’s New Bill In Texas Is Setting a Precedent On How To Handle the Migrant Crisis

by

Law enforcement veteran Michael Letts believes President Biden could learn something from the controversial yet effective new bill. With so many politicians up in arms about the ongoing migrant crisis (and doing very little about it), Gov. Greg Abbott has decided to do something about it for his citizens of Texas. Earlier this week, Abbott signed a new bill that will now provide police officers the power to arrest migrants who illegally cross the U.S. … Read more

Philadelphia fights crime by banning ski masks (By Michael Letts)

by

(Originally published in American Thinker.) Plan on being cold this winter if you live in Philadelphia. Why? Because the Philadelphia City Council passed a ban on ski masks, and the reason for that is that it covers the face of potential criminals. So once again, law-abiding citizens have to pay the price of criminals because leftist politicians won’t address the actual problem. It’s the same type of thinking that people follow with gun bans. Because … Read more

President Biden’s Ignorance of What’s Happening At the Border Could Create a Major Crisis For the U.S. Before Christmas

by

Law enforcement veteran Michael Letts explains why the President’s lapse in judgment could come back to bite him in 2024. It appears that President Joe Biden’s ignorance of what’s happening at the border is about to come back and haunt him – and right at the crucial time when he’s seeking re-election. A situation unfurled just before the weekend, where a gunfight broke out at a Tucson border patrol station between officers and cartel members. As … Read more

Liberal City Rediscovers Enforcing Law (By Michael Letts)

by

(Originally published in NewsMax.) A major liberal city seems to have gotten wise to what it takes to reduce crime, and that is to not follow liberal policies. Detroit has cut its murder rate to a 6-year-low. As of the end of November, the city had 228 homicides, which is 18% less than the same period last year. If the trend continues it will finish the year with a number that hasn’t been so low since 1966. … Read more

The FBI and DHS Are Warning People About “Threats To Public Safety” During the Holiday Season – But Why Aren’t They Doing More?

by

Law enforcement veteran Michael Letts talks about the government agencies’ recent warnings – but ponders why safety precautions aren’t being taken at the border. As the holidays are in full swing, the FBI and DHS served reminders to the American people that they need to stay safe. Both of the government agencies noted that there is are heightened “threats to public safety” due to the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas, noting that they are … Read more

George Soros’ District Attorney Finally Dropped Indictment Charges On Police Officers – But the Damage Is Done

by

Law enforcement veteran Michael Letts looks at the billionaire’s smear campaign against 17 officers already proven innocent of aggravated assault. Even though the system felt they were innocent, billionaire George Soros decided to wage war with members of the Austin Police department. Following their exoneration from charges involves with quelling Black Lives Matter riots in 2020, Soros’ progressive district attorney, Jose Garza, chose to indict numerous officers in the situation, believing they conducted aggravated assault … Read more

Hunter Biden has been Indicted! (Guest: Michael Letts)

by

President Biden’s son Hunter Biden has been indicted. Will the major media portray this fairly? Or will they coddle Hunter and his father with sympathetic cries about how a father loved his drug addicted son and faun over how Hunter’s father stood by him through thick and thin as a loving father? Perhaps the story will be spun as to how this loving father chose to overlook horrific acts to standby his son after losing his … Read more

Will the University of Pennsylvania Fire Its President for Supporting Student Antisemitism to save a $100 Million Donation?

by

Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania has a dilemma on their hands. Wharton’s most notable graduate Is President Trump, but their own President Liz Magill is giving Donald Trump some name recognition competition, albeit in a dubious way. Magill is on the hotseat for refusing to renounce antisemitism expressed by some of her students. That reticence triggered mega donor and Hedge Fund Titan Ross Stevens to threaten to withdraw a $100 million donation to Wharton unless … Read more

Justice Could Come For President Biden and the FBI Soon Enough (Guest: Michael Letts)

by

The founder of InVest USA discusses a recent committee review of the FBI’s actions in a religious case – and inquiries about the President’s potential impeachment. Could 2024 be the year that the scales of justice balance? Perhaps. A new report from Fox News revealed that, per the House Weaponization Committee investigating the matter, the FBI interviewed a priest and a church choir director, as part of a questionable investigation into “radical” Catholic Americans. This follows a … Read more

Left’s Thumb Is on the Scales of Justice (By Michael Letts)

by

(Originally published in NewsMax.) Protesters at the Jan. 6 rally are facing lengthy prison sentences for walking into the Capitol Building in Washington, D.C., even though video shows security officers inviting them in. In at least one instance, a man was sentenced for crimes on Jan. 6 even though he wasn’t even in Washington. While there was some violence and those culprits should be caught and charged with the appropriate crimes, far more people are … Read more

Another transgender shooter thinks killing will make his case By Michael Letts

by

(Originally published on AUN-TV.)  I used to think it was ridiculous that someone could commit an act of violence and/or stupidity and think that it would somehow win over people to their cause. Case in point would be the Just Stop Oil protesters in Europe who think blocking roads, making people late to work, or keeping them from getting medical attention if they are in an ambulance will make them sympathetic to their cause. Then … Read more

It’s only dangerous rhetoric if a Republican says it (By Michael Letts)

by

(Originally published in WND.) Imagine a Republican congressional representative threatened former President Barack Obama and said he needed to be “eliminated.” What would be the response of other politicians? How would the media play it? Well, Rep. Dan Goldman, D-N.Y., said during an appearance on former White House press secretary Jen Psaki’s MSNBC show, “It is just unquestionable at this point that that man [former President Donald Trump] cannot see public office again. He is not … Read more

Heroic NYPD Marine vet reminds us of the importance of police officers (By Michael Letts)

by

(Originally published in American Thinker.) Police officers are under the poorest perception possible these days. It’s true. The whole “defund the police” campaign has done irreparable damage to police officers across the U.S., not only turning them into the “enemy” of the people, but also convincing key politicians to revoke their funding when they need it the most. That said, there are still officers out there making a difference, despite the backlash they’re receiving on all … Read more

George Santos Has Been Expelled From Congress…But Who’s Next? (Guest: Michael Letts)

by

Law enforcement veteran Michael Letts reminds politicians that no one is above the law – not even those in leadership. Right before the weekend, the U.S. House set an example to prove that it’s not going to bow to corruption. In an unprecedented vote, the House voted to expel GOP Rep. George Santos, following several charges being filed against him. These include federal indictment for fraud, as well as money laundering, theft and stealing donors’ … Read more

The Departure of Over 2,500 Police Officers Should Be a Resounding Call To Action For New York Government (Guest: Michael Letts)

by

Law enforcement veteran Michael Letts wonders what Gov. Kathy Hochul and her team will do to recover from the catastrophic loss. Per a disturbing new report from the New York Post, it’s been revealed that over 2,500 police officers have left the New York Police Department for the year, with more likely to depart before 2024 rolls around. What’s even more concerning is that over 1,000 of those officers actually quit before they became eligible … Read more

Derek Chauvin’s Stabbing In Prison Shows Everything Wrong With Today’s Judicial System (Guest: Michael Letts)

by

The law enforcement veteran discusses the unfortunate incident, and why Chauvin deserves better. Following his incarceration for his role in the death of George Floyd, former police officer Derek Chauvin has found himself put into a world of hell. Shortly after being sent to prison, Chauvin has become the victim of a brutal stabbing attack by an unidentified inmate. He’s currently in stable condition from the attack, according to reports. Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison … Read more

Gaza Protests Are Picking Up In the United States – and Creating a Dangerous Situation For Police Officers

by

Law enforcement veteran Michael Letts explains why the protests are a far bigger danger than people may realize. Pro-Palestinian protests are picking up quickly in the United States, with many calling for a ceasefire in Gaza in the hopes of saving lives. What people don’t realize, however, is that they’re putting even more at risk. Dozens of protests have taken place in various states, resulting in a number of arrests. But a much bigger one … Read more

The Death of a 17-Year Old Student In Las Vegas Leaves More Questions Than Answers (Guest: Michael Letts)

by

The law enforcement veteran discusses the horrendous beating, and what it says about the state of criminal activity this year. Las Vegas is still reeling from a horrifying beating that took place earlier in the week. A 17-year old student named Jonathan Lewis was beaten severely by eight to ten minors following school sessions, to the point that he was declared brain dead. Apparently the teens had ambushed him, giving him no chance to recover. … Read more

Hatred, Scrutiny, and Direct Attack: Police Under Siege (By Michael Letts)

by

(Originally published in NewsMax.) Over the past few years, police have become “the enemy” of many people out there. And unfairly, might I add. That’s not to say that every officer behaves by the rules. But when the majority is paying the price of a very select few, that’s a complete lack of balance. Punish those that are guilty, for sure. But leave the others be — they’re just doing their job. I could discuss the … Read more

Is Target Preventing Police Officers From Arresting Shoplifters To Save Its Social Standing? (Guest: Michael Letts)

by

InVest USA’s Michael Letts believes the store chain may be preventing the law from being carried out to avoid being blasted by consumers. A new report suggests that a popular store chain may be preventing police officers from doing their job within their stores in an effort to save face with its shoppers. Per the Epoch Times, Sacramento County Sheriff Jim Cooper noted that the retailer is stopping deputies from apprehending shoplifters in their stores … Read more

The Nashville shooter’s motive was leftist beliefs By Michael Letts

by

(Originally published on American Thinker.) It has taken about seven months, but we now know what was going through the head of the Audrey “Aiden” Hale, the Covenant School mass murderer. No thanks to politicians, though. They have been delaying the release of the handwritten “manifesto” for months. While it was expected to show that Hale had mental health issues (as it can be argued any mass murderer does), it was speculated that the reason for not … Read more

Is the FBI Going After New York City Mayor Eric Adams For the Growing Number of Immigrants In His City?

by

Law enforcement veteran Michael Letts once again calls out the questionable actions of the bureau. As the number of immigrants making their way into the United States continues to grow, New York City Mayor Eric Adams is voicing his displeasure over being overrun with them. But the FBI may be trying to quiet him before he provides proof of the matter. According to Fox News, the bureau seized a number of Adams’ electronic devices this week, … Read more

Los Angeles, Dallas Follow San Francisco’s Downward Spiral (By Michael Letts)

by

(Originally posted exclusively on NewsMax.) The writing is on the wall for Dallas and Los Angeles. They will be the next Portland and San Francisco with their businesses disappearing. That is a domino in a line that leads to ruin, and it’s not the first domino, which means the collapse has started. Dallas’ and Los Angeles’ problem is that shoplifting has skyrocketed, according to the Council on Criminal Justice. This is a result of a shortage of police officers, … Read more

Blue Counties Trouncing Red on Homicide Numbers (By Michael Letts)

by

(Originally published in NewsMax.) When it is pointed out that Democrat-run cities are hotbeds of crime, the defense is that those cities would have a high crime rate even if they were run by Republicans. The problem is that they are cities not that they are Democrat-run. They also like to say that the rate of crime in Republican states is higher than that in Democrat states. However, a new study from the Heritage Foundation weakens that defense … Read more

Halloween is all treats for criminals By Michael Letts

by

(Originally published on AUN-TV.)  In the days leading up to Halloween, it looked things would be more trick than treat as NPR reported that 12 mass shootings over the weekend before the spooky holiday made it scarier than Halloween. The shootings left 11 dead and 76 injured across the country. Halloween weekend tends, sadly, to be more violent than other weekends. However, this year puts last year’s Halloween weekend to shame. According to ASIS International, there were nine mass … Read more

Seattle Has a New Policy On Police Ruses, But Is Now the Best Time To Implement It?

by

Law enforcement veteran Michael Letts discusses the controversial new policy, and why the city isn’t doing more on its growing crime rate. At a time when the city’s crime rate seems to be steadily growing, Seattle is implementing a new policy that prevents its police officers from what it deems “ruses.” According to this article from Fox News, Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell is set to put the policy into effect this week, forcing officers to hold … Read more

How much crime is too much for cities like Oakland? (By Michael Letts)

by

(Originally published in American Thinker.) Major cities in the country continue to see their quality of life decrease as crime increases. It is not only violent crime that is causing problems, either. As of mid-September, Oakland, California, had recorded 11,417 motor vehicle thefts or nearly 41 car thefts a day. In just the week of Oct. 2 – 8, 125 cars were stolen, according to the Oakland Police Department crime data. This does not include the 549 carjackings … Read more

Wray believes that several terrorist groups could be planning to make a move in the country, in an effort … Read more

Keep the Pelosi office building open and close down Pelosi’s career By Michael Letts

by

(Originally published on AUN-TV.) In what should be an embarrassment to leftist politicians, a building named after one of their leaders may have to close down because leftist policies have been such a failure. It’s not news that businesses have been fleeing San Francisco because of the unchecked crime in the city. Kelly-Moore Paints, McAfee, Chevron, Tesla, Charles Schwab, Oracle and so many others have not only left San Francisco but California. Fewer people in the … Read more

Why Is President Biden More Focused On Banning Guns Rather Than Hiring On More Police Officers?

by

Law enforcement veteran Michael Letts is confused by the President’s actions, and wondering why he won’t give police officers a fair shake. Even though the nightmarish situation surrounding a mass shooter loose in Maine has come to a solution, the after-effects still have many across the nation reeling. And, with that, President Joe Biden has once again called for a solution that he believes will “fix” the problem – though many aren’t really sure. As … Read more

Maine shooting proves we need more police officers (By Michael Letts)

by

(Previously published in American Thinker.) Earlier this week, certified firearms and instructor and member of the U.S. Army Reserves Robert Card allegedly walked into a crowded bowling alley and restaurant in Lewiston, opening fire and killing 18 people while injuring 13 others.  He’s currently on the run, and many police officers are taking part in a serious manhunt to track him down.

At the present time, the suspect is … Read more

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

by

(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)

by

(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)

by

(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

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)

by

(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

Why Are Some Black Lives Matter Groups Supporting Hamas’ Attack On Israel? (Guest: Michael Letts)

by

Law enforcement veteran Michael Letts discusses the disturbing trend of the groups supporting death of innocent women and children.

Several reports indicate that several independent chapters of Black Lives Matter are showing their support for Hamas, praising them in the name of “resistance” and “liberation” against Israel. The BLM … Read more

How Much Support Is Joe Biden and His Administration Really Giving Israel? (Guest: Michael Letts)

by

In a time of crisis, law enforcement veteran Michael Letts is ready to step up and provide several bulletproof vests as needed.

Boston Democrats dig the city’s grave (By Michael Letts)

by

(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.

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)

by

(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
