April 16, 2024 Steve MacDonald

One thing that did not get defunded after the George Floyd/BLM Summer of Love was cop shows.

No, the Democrats (NH’s Hassan, Shaheen, Kuster, and Pappas) Can Never Out Run “Defund the Police” Albatross around Their Necks

September 24, 2022 Skip

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

Defund Police is a Fantasy Story for the Left

July 29, 2022 Ray Cardello

The fact that Hakeen Jeffries is talked about in the Presidential contender talks is laughable. The guy is a hack congressman from New York, where an empty beer glass with a donkey logo can get elected to any office. He is also an outright liar. That is not hyperbole. It is not opinion. It is … Read more

October 26, 2021 Steve MacDonald

June 17, 2021June 17, 2021 Op-Ed

MANCHESTER, NH June 17, 2021—”The story written by John DiStaso in his NH Primary Source column is disturbing to say the least. That the NH Youth Movement, whatever that is, has “targeted” Manchester as a place that needs to defund police is as disturbing as it is dangerous.

You know how this goes, right? An Armed Society….

May 2, 2021May 2, 2021 Skip

The guy lying on the floor was quite impolite. The men standing there were very polite in telling the guy on the floor “Bad decisions yield bad consequences: Of course, Gun Grabbers all will kvetch that it was an unfair fight because the bad guy didn’t bring three other friends… I noticed that all three … Read more

Minneapolis Democrats Successfully “Replace Police” with More Crime and Violence

September 17, 2020 Steve MacDonald

Minneapolis is ground zero for the latest installment of the Democrat Party’s ongoing mini-series, Mob Rules. It’s a live street performance with touring “companies” all across America. Destroying minority businesses and displacing minority workers in the name of, um, well, minority rights.
