NH Is the Safest State in the Nation Again (Vermont, Not so Much)

August 21, 2024 Steve MacDonald

Another year of loose gun laws and another year as one of the safest states in the country. And no, correlation does not imply causation, but this has been happening yearly for a very long time. One analysis or the other inevitably arrives at the same conclusion. New Hampshire is a very safe place to … Read more

As the North Country Turns: Still Trying to Stay Out of Jail!

August 8, 2024August 8, 2024 Steve MacDonald

Having failed to avoid a conviction for things he admitted to doing and failed to prevent a court from insisting she serve time for that, former State Senator Jeff Woodburn has gone back to the well. You can’t put me in jail; I’m old, he says. I got counseling. I’m a good citizen (former public servant involved … Read more

Former Dem State Senator to Serve 30 Days In Jail

July 31, 2024 Steve MacDonald

If you want an example of dragging something out, you’d do well to consider the case of former NH State Senator Jeff Woodburn. Back in 2018, the North Country Democrat had a future. He would likely have run for Governor. An aspiring political climber, knocked off the ladder of success by accusations of domestic violence. … Read more

Pre-Crime Laws and Predictive Policing

July 30, 2024 Steve MacDonald

Adding the word hate to crime is a way for prosecutors to pile on charges in search of more significant fines and longer sentences. It is an injustice. Its other more critical function is to make people afraid to speak openly for fear of stumbling across the ever-moving hate speech trip wire, which is a … Read more

Unarmed And Untrained, And Headed Into Harms Way

July 26, 2024 Steve MacDonald

According to Sgt. Jeremiah Gates (Arapahoe County Sheriff/Denver Co.), drones are the future of Law enforcement. Can you imagine the sorts of drones police might want to use? Yes, I’ve got some questions about Privacy and the Surveillance State, but more importantly, when will they begin upgrading to the urban assault versions of petite Predator Drones? … Read more

Prosecutor Threatens to Fine Retailer for Reporting Thefts to Police

July 12, 2024 Steve MacDonald

The Democratic bizzaro world is full of contradictions because it is the natural state. To them, it makes sense when we get results exactly opposite of those advertised. Law and order mean chaos. Prosperity means poverty; transparency means obstruction; unity means division; education creates ignorance; and equity means inequality.

Crime Boss Wu Gives Boston (Wuville) Dems A Great Reason to Vote for Someone Else

May 31, 2024 Steve MacDonald

Michelle Wu is a product of her party, which means failure isn’t just an option. It’s a goal! Maybe even a priority. Wu just unleashed a list of crimes she’d like to stop prosecuting in Wuville because this is how Democrats “reduce” crime.

If It’s Not ‘Racist’ “Democrats” Would Have to Take Credit for Their Failures And They’d Rather Blame You

April 22, 2024 Steve MacDonald

Many imbalances or inequities in our culture result from the same problem. The failure of “the state” to put academic rigor ahead of politics. And who runs “the state”? Bureaucrats, financed by the DC uniparty, which is run by Democrats.

Oregon Re-Criminalizes Hard Drugs After Four Years of Decrim Disaster

April 4, 2024 Steve MacDonald

If you need an example of bad drug policy vs. human nature, then Oregon is your gal. She decriminalized hard drugs in 2020 and was rewarded with a 200% spike in overdose deaths. People were not more likely to seek treatment, but they were more likely to become unproductive criminals if they didn’t kill themselves.

“Defund the Police” Chickens … Come Home to Roost in Pittsburgh

March 17, 2024March 17, 2024 Steve MacDonald

The Reverend Jeremiah Wright was more or less unknown before Barry Obama ran for President. One of Wright’s more famous idioms, perhaps due to the frequently shared recording of him saying it, was that after 9/11, America’s chickens were coming home to roost. Much like Al Gore’s Inconvenient Truth, it still has legs.

Shoplifters Are Stealing More Than Merchandise

March 11, 2024 Steve MacDonald

A WaPo media machine stenographer has decided to float this trial balloon. All that shoplifting that’s been going on shouldn’t be upsetting middle-class, white-bread supremacists. After all, their descendants stole all this land from someone else.

Of Course Crime Rates Are Down When You Don’t Track The Crimes

March 2, 2024 Ray Cardello

Do they really think we are that ignorant? Do they really think that they can gaslight us that we are safer under Biden’s policies? Do they really think that we are deaf and blind to the horrid scenes that we watch with our morning coffee and again with our evening cocktail? Since Joe Biden has been our President, one cocktail is insufficient to get through the evening news.

Too Much Crime: Change the Definition of “Crime”

April 9, 2025February 18, 2024 Michelle Hoy

I saw a clip of a new MSNBC special, which aired on February 11th, called Black Men in America: Road to 2024, with Trymaine Lee, Charles Coleman Martin Jr., and Al Sharpton, to name a few. In this clip, these men stood around a pool table and discussed crime and how the black man is … Read more

Minorities Blame Walgreens for Store Closing When They Should be Blaming Democrats, Or Perhaps, Themselves

January 19, 2024January 18, 2024 Steve MacDonald

Locals in a Roxbury neighborhood outside of Boston are protesting. Walgreens is closing a store there, and perhaps without knowing it, a customer interviewed by the Boston Globe explained why. It’s unsafe to walk to the next closest Walgreens, about a mile away.

Vermont Surpasses 2022, With 27 Homicides in 2023

July 16, 2024January 9, 2024 Steve MacDonald

With all this talk about common sense manifesting as legislation and law, you’d think Vermont would have gotten a handle on its rising homicide rate. Last year, they had 25, unprecedented for that tiny state in our big modern era, but a few more progressive laws later, and it’s up to 27 in 2023.
