The “War on Cops” – though ignored by mainstream media outlets and the White House – continues to accelerate at a lightning pace. Those who serve and protect are facing rising violence while being abandoned by the political elites. Eleven hero police officers were killed in the last two weeks and most of those murders were by assassination facilitated through an ambush. Every day, more cops are set up to die at the hands of criminals. The attitude is, “Oh well, another dead cop.” In the face of such an onslaught, the number of police officers in the U.S., according…

Today, dying of a drug overdose is more likely than it was a year ago. Social media has made it easier than ever before to purchase illicit items, including potent opioids. Sure, these counterfeit pills are stamped and manufactured to look like the real pharmaceutical grade thing but take one to get high and you may die. Why? Because unknown to you and possibly your dealer, these bootlegged fakes may be laced with dangerous amounts of fentanyl that can cause severe side effects or even instant death. Tragically, deaths from drug overdoses in America have reached epidemic proportions. Fentanyl has…
The wave of new progressive district attorneys including the likes of George Gascon – who won election in November of 2020 to become the Los Angeles County district attorney and recently recalled San Francisco DA Chesa Boudin – are among the many backed by globalist liberal billionaire George Soros. The “megadonor” leftist has sought to remake the American justice system by funneling over $40 million into district attorney races in some of the nation’s largest jurisdictions. George Gascon is just one of the network of over 70 DAs nationwide who received the majority of their campaign funding from Soro’s various…
When we hear the term “Red Flag” we immediately think DANGER. Danger, riptides, falling rocks, exploding volcanoes – or something that can truly harm us. However, red flags, when woven into the law become even more dangerous than any of the immediate physical threats above. They create a legal framework that permits the state to take your freedom – and to do so without due process. The arguments for these laws, on their face, seem sound, sane, and quite reasonable. Politicians call them “extreme-risk protection orders” – who would think that sounds unreasonable? But be assured, these laws are a…
In the words of Warren Zevon, “Lawyers, Guns and Money.” It appears that our government is the prey of lawyers, the nemesis of law-abiding gun owners, and reckless with our money. Crime is rising faster than inflation, and law-abiding gun owners, who simply want to be left alone and protect themselves, are being blamed while cops are being demonized and dying by their own hands faster than Soros-elected prosecutors can convict them. Nonetheless, our hard-earned pay raises of 3.5% are eaten up by 8.5% inflation due to the chronic stupidity of the administration, led by an arrogant, nasty, self-absorbed old…
Death holds the reins of discontent for Joseph Biden. Death consumes the streets of every major U.S. city, from the ambush of cops to the killing of innocents by gangs, while the blood of 13 American heroes still stains the streets of Kabul, Afghanistan. In addition to those we left behind and while Afghanistan festers, our president makes ready to spill more patriot blood in the Ukraine. However, at home the “War on Cops” rages. It started under the Obama presidency and was one of the reasons that the National Center for Police Defense was organized. Police officers were being…
Bob Dylan’s song, “The Times They Are a-Changin’” was written when the country was undergoing significant political and social upheaval. Change can be both good and bad, but only the most naïve among us or someone who is intentionally undermining our laws could look at the changes in our criminal justice system over the last 19 months and say it’s been a change for the better. Our criminal justice system has sold out, not for a humble, good man who spent his life helping others but for a criminal who lived a life of crime. (RELATED: Chicago Police Witnessed Deadly…
While most attention is being paid to the multi-trillion dollar “social spending” bill that is currently being pushed by Democratic legislators, Biden’s nominee to fill a vacancy on the Federal Communications Commission is finally garnering the attention it deserves. FCC nominee Gigi Sohn poses an immense threat to our constitutional rights and would be an unequivocal disaster for our freedom of speech. The highly partisan pick by Biden is the latest effort of the new administration to supercharge the regulatory state and strip the freedoms enshrined in our nation’s Constitution and Bill of Rights. The real goal of this move…
