ATTENTION CRIMINALS: the new district attorney for Manhattan (New York City) is your guy! His name is Alvin Bragg, and he’s a Democrat prosecutor who was sworn into office this past Saturday. On Monday, two days later, he issued orders to his staff gutting their ability to prosecute crimes. Get a load of some of this: 🟥 “Patronizing a Person for Prostitution” – no longer prosecuted… Read more »

If there’s one photo that captures everything that’s honorable and compassionate and decent about our law enforcement officers, it’s this one. Tyler Terry is a suspect in multiple murders here in South Carolina and Missouri. After opening fire on a Chester County Sheriff’s Deputy during a high-speed pursuit back on May 17th, a weeklong manhunt ensued. Over 300 officers from numerous… Read more »

The agenda outlined by President Biden on Wednesday night is a one-way ticket to a socialistic welfare state with astronomical taxes, and government encroaching on every aspect of our lives.  His vision for our nation involves growing the size of almost every corner of the federal government. (With the exception of our military, to nobody’s surprise.) There’s simply no room to talk… Read more »
