The Chinese Communist Party Takes Up Residence in America (By Michael Letts)

by

(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

Never say never about executions (By Michael Letts)

by

(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

San Francisco State University believes assault and ransoming is a ‘disruption’ (By Michael Letts)

by

(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

A Lack of Lawyers Sets Oregon’s Criminals Free (By Michael Letts)

by

(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

After Leak of FBI Memo Targeting Catholics, Christopher Wray Needs to Go (By Michael Letts)

by

(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

Title 42 stands between the U.S. and chaos at the border (By Michael Letts)

by

(Originally published in American Thinker.) Migrants have been masssing at the U.S.-Mexico border waiting for the Title 42 health program to expire on May 11. Why? Once it does, it will create an opportunity for the migrants to cross the border and get a toehold in the United States. “There are thousands and thousands just waiting for Title 42 to end. I would say a fear is that the Biden admin has no clue just how bad … Read more

If Chicagoans Want to Reduce Crime, Why do They Keep Voting Left? (By Michael Letts)

by

(Originally published in CNS News.) When Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot lost her bid for re-election last month, most people assumed the largest contributor to the loss was the rampant crime in the city. A poll conducted Jan. 31 to Feb. 3 found that 47 percent of likely mayoral election voters identified crimeand public safety as the most important issue in determining their vote. “Throughout her term, she has been criticized for her soft-on-crime approach, which has led to … Read more

Want Good Officers? See Beyond the Dollars (By Michael Letts)

by

(Originally published on NewsMax.) Just as defunding the police isn’t the answer to problems that Democrats have with policing in America, neither is turning policing into a money pit where money is thrown at the problem without understanding what the problem is. It hasn’t worked with education or government, and it won’t work with policing. Politicians have shown they just don’t understand. While cities that cut back on police funding found that it worsened the … Read more

In 2023 Democrats Find it OK to Blame 9 Year Old Victims for Being Shot (By Michael Letts)

by

(This article originally published in CNS News.) On February 14, 2018, Nikolas Cruz opened fire on students and staff at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida and murdered 17 people. In the wake of that tragedy, imagine what the reaction would have been if people would have blamed the shooting on the dead people or raised money on behalf of causes Cruz supported. It didn’t happen. Even though Democrats went out and tried to … Read more

Democrats are using police to protect their power grabs (By Michael Letts)

by

(Originally published in American Thinker.) Democrats don’t like the police, but they are more than willing to use them to enforce their abuses of power and overstepping of authority. A recent example of this is how police are used to help Democrats violate freedom of speech and freedom of assembly and the civil rights of Christians because Democrats don’t like their opinions. Members of two pro-life groups were arrested in North Carolina for praying and … Read more

Bragg’s War on the NYPD (By Michael Letts)

by

(Originally appeared on Front Page Mag.) So, there are people out there that think our police officers are a scourge with no right to exist or exhibit their authority and that they don’t care about people. Nonproductive drivel like this litters the Internet highway and social media. Oh, but they couldn’t be more wrong. I’ve been on the front lines alongside my brothers and sisters in blue for over 30 years. Believe me when I … Read more

Guns are Blamed for Mental Health Problems (By Michael Letts)

by

(Originally published in CNS News.) Much of the news recently has been dominated by the shooting and murder of three children and three faculty of a Tennessee Christian school by a trans-man. It is a tragic story, particularly for the loved ones of those killed. It is also shaping up as a hate crime against the students and faculty because of their Christian beliefs. Bookending those stories were often stories of Democrats and anti-gun advocates … Read more

College Students Are Finally Paying the Price for Their Woke Activism (By Michael Letts)

by

(Originally published in The Western Journal.) When students who want to become lawyers show a complete disregard for the document that our legal system is based on, there should be consequences. Sadly, those consequences are usually suffered by the people they represent. Now, though, the tide may be turning, as it appears that some judges have decided to stop allowing themselves to be a doormat for the left. Two conservative federal judges have said they … 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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. Not only did she lose the primary, she came in third in field of nine candidates. Lightfoot, who touted being the first black woman and openly gay mayor of Chicago, can now add another first to her resume. She is the first Chicago mayor in … Read more

Biden’s Absence From Officer’s Memorial Service Says Much — All of It Bad (By Michael Letts)

by

(Originally published on NewsMax.) Hundreds of grateful citizens gathered for candlelight vigil for murdered police officer Gonzalo Carrasco, Jr. recently. They didn’t riot. They didn’t shout angrily. They remembered and honored the sacrifice of a young man who had tried to help them. Dozens of police cars formed a line with the emergency lights flashing to remember their fallen comrade. Absent were the civil rights leader decrying the violence perpetrated against a person of color. Missing were … Read more

Do Liberals Secretly Support the Second Amendment? (By Michael Letts)

by

(Originally published on CNS News.) Do liberals actually support the Second Amendment? While they should, they are quick to show through their actions that they don’t. After every shooting, Democrat politicians put forth legislation meant to restrict the access of law-abiding Americans to firearms of any kind. However, what generally happens is that their actions only spur the sales of firearms as people rush to stock up on something that may disappear. Liberals are their … Read more

Army Scrambles to Boost Lagging Recruitment, But Won’t Make the One Really Necessary Change (By Michael Letts)

by

(Originally published in The Western Journal.) It seems like the U.S. Army might have realized what it needs to do to meet its aggressive recruitment goals for this year, and it doesn’t have anything to do with being woke. Fiscal year 2023 began on Oct. 1, 2022, and since that time, the Army has already added roughly 18,500 soldiers with another 13,000 in the process, Maj. Gen. Johnny Davis, head of the service’s Recruiting Command, … Read more

2023 Started Off On the Wrong Foot For This Rookie Officer (By: Michael Letts)

by

(Originally published in Front Page Magazine.) Struck by a machete ….. How did the Jihadist who swung it get into our country to begin with? Imagine starting a job and having quite simply the worst day you possibly can. A customer comes in and completely berates you while you’re learning the ropes; a boss ends up chewing out employees over lackluster performance; or something simply goes wrong with the business itself, such as uncontrollable weather … Read more

The FBI report we’ve long needed (By: Michael Letts)

by

(Originally appeared on American Thinker.) The actions of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) have been questionable as of late under the leadership of Christopher Wray. We could dive back into the way the bureau acted upon raiding former president Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate earlier this year.  But their actions go much deeper, with reports about surveillance and even spying on emails of private American citizens in the hopes of finding criminal activity. There’s about to … Read more

The Biden administration declares war on the U.S. energy sector (By: Guy Mitchell)

by

(Originally published in The American Thinker Shortly after taking office, President Biden joined the war on the carbon atom by opening a front against the U.S. energy sector. He cancelled the Keystone XL pipeline project permit and froze the leasing of prospective oil and gas producing properties in the Alaskan National Wildlife Refuge. Then in a further nod to the left wing of the Democrat party fixated on global warming, on December 8, 2021, he … Read more

Republicans and Democrats team up to undercut South Carolina abortion ban (By: James Harden)

by

(Originally published in The American Thinker It’s been several months now since the Supreme Court made its landmark decision to overturn Roe vs. Wade, spelling out a clear-cut solution to how the abortion debate is supposed to be resolved in this country. That said, there’s still a great deal of opposition against doing away with it, and there’s an apparent mixed message coming from the capitol of South Carolina A Democratic minority has begun to fight … Read more

When did global warming become climate change? (By Guy Mitchell)

by

(Originally published in The American Thinker.) On May 15, 2013, “Quantifying the consensus on anthropogenic global warming in the scientific literature” was published in “Environmental Research Letters” by a group who referred to themselves as “citizen scientists.”  In the “letter” that reported their findings, they made a claim that “97.1% [of scientists surveyed] endorsed the consensus position that humans are causing global warming” (emphasis added).  On May 16, 2013, President Barack Obama tweeted, ” Ninety-seven percent of scientists … Read more
