Businesses Leave Chicago To Make Room For DNC
There are many potential reasons for and sub-stories about the Democrat National Committee’s (DNC) decision to hold the 2024 Convention in the Homicide Capitol of the country. The DNC has named Chicago to host the convention that should start the reelection campaign of Joe Biden.
Dem City Crime Forces Whole Foods To Close Flagship Store in San Francisco
I wonder what homicide Detective Mike Stone and his upstart partner Inspector Steve Keller would think of 21st-century life on The Streets of San Francisco. The characters would be appalled. So are most retailers.
Irony Alert: CNN Crew Robbed in San Francisco While Doing a Story About Crime in San Francisco
From the too funny not to report files. A CNN Crew was at City Hall in San Francisco working on a story about voter discontent over rising street crime. While doing their report, someone did a smash-and-grab on their rental car.
Amazon is Closing Retail Stores in Dem-Run Cities ‘cuz Crime!
Amazon can be #woke, so it was amusing when it got crap for launching a unique retail experience. Cashless stores were racist or something. But the online giant persisted until recently. Amazon has announced it is closing some of these stores.
Progressives Duck as Pendulum Swings Back
Signs are becoming evident that the sentiment on crime in this country is finally swinging back to reality. Republican Lee Zeldin was unsuccessful in unseating Kathy Hochul for the Governor’s office in New York. Still, his anti-crime platform was strong enough to sweep Republicans into many statewide offices. The performance in such a solid Blue … Read more
Things We Won’t Talk About
Over the past few years, the list of things most Americans won’t speak of or discuss has become a long list. A recent addition to that list is the dramatic increase of people “suddenly dying” since around October 2021. Why is there a huge increase in excess deaths across Western Civilization?
Burlington VT Mayor and City Council Want More Cops But Will They Have Their Back – And Why Would They?
If you looked through the haze and smoke from all those peaceful protests back in 2020, you saw some things. The Democrat Cop haters running Burlington, Vermont, for example, defunded the city police force. Before that, they had 92 sworn officers. Today, they are down to sixty-three, twenty-two of whom are on actual patrol. Why yes, crime is up.
Not Enough White Men Are Killing Each Other and That’s Racist
When it comes to Democrats, what you get never aligns with the shiny brochure of narratives they sell you – it’s usually the opposite. Take Black Lives Matter. Since the Summer of 2020, The Left couldn’t shut up about it, but since then, black men have been dying at a record-setting pace.
Democrat Rule Will Do that: Vermont Has Its Highest Homicide Rate in Three Decades
If you are looking for a silver lining, this report on spiking homicides in increasingly-crime-riddled Democrat Vermont does imply that at some point in the past, there were more homicides in a year than in 2022.
Bouncing Back
Is it just me or are we starting to see the price of gas increasing again? Hope not but a couple of stations look like it. One thing is we can be happy we are not out in California where it’s at $6.00 or more but there is no reason it should be above $2.00 … Read more
Defund-The Police Sanctuary City Has to Pay State Troopers Overtime to Patrol Downtown
After basking in the fiery glow of BLM Summer, the geniuses running the city of Burlington, Vermont, defunded their police force. The 30% budget cut had two immediate effects. Crime rose, and they had trouble hiring police officers. But they’ve decided on a temporary solution.
No, the Democrats (NH’s Hassan, Shaheen, Kuster, and Pappas) Can Never Out Run “Defund the Police” Albatross around Their Necks
And they did it to themselves. I DVR Fox News’s “The Five” because I like to watch/listen to smart people talking about the issues of the day. On Thursday’s show (which I am just watching as I type this), their first segment had this as their topic and had a clip of all Democrat candidates … Read more
SAFE-T Act Denies Police Ability To Remove Trespassers From Private Property, Abolishes Cash Bail
The latest disaster waiting to unfold will now take place in Illinois. Chiraq, helmed by the horribly inept and clueless Lori Lightfoot, has long dominated the list of deadliest cities in America. Still, this wasn’t enough for state legislators and bat-s*** crazy governor J.B. Pritzker.
One of the “Safest*” Democrat Run Cities in America Passes 500 Murders for 2022
In Progressive mythology, gun control does not mean a tight grouping on the target; it means disarming law-abiding citizens. A corollary to that is making it as difficult or expensive as possible for those who insist on protecting themselves. The stated goal is public safety but the reality is the inverse.
Political Ad – “Stop the Insanity”
Sky News Australia has a segment that includes a very powerful political ad created by a group called Citizens for Sanity. The focus? The political left’s obsession with giving criminals more rights than everyday, law-abiding Americans.
Burlington Police Chief Lacks Manpower to Investigate Murder Suicide Because BLM-Appeasing City Council Defunded Them
We’ve been charting the Democrat decline of Burlington, Vermont, for a few years, and it is swirling the bowl as predicted. Property crime has been rising, and now gun crime is becoming a problem, but the local PD lacks resources. Can you guess why?
A Tale of Two Shootings
The week of May 22, 2022, there were two mass firearm assaults. One in Uvalde, Texas I am sure you are all aware of – 19 children and 2 adults dead. The second, Charleston, West Virginia, you would probably never have heard of except for this editorial.
Minneapolis Residents Who Sued City for Defunding the Police Win in State Supreme Court
In October 2020, a group of concerned residents sued the City of Minneapolis. Their gripe? They actively defunded the police department and that caused the number of officers to fall below that required by the city charter. Oh, and an exponential rise in crime.
Liberal San Francisco Successfully Recalls Soft on Crime (Soros?) DA Chesa Boudin
This does not bode well for the Democrats and their “defund the police,” soft on crime policies. One of those progressive DAs who got elected (most likely with George Soros money) just got kicked out of office. In San Franciso!
