ArtisticOperations / Pixabay Last summer, the mantra of the left seemed to be “defund the police.” Everyone was screaming about how what we needed to do was defund the police and use that money to use people like social workers to deescalate problems so the police weren’t needed.
Of course, that was roundly mocked by the right. Even I mocked it a fair bit, not so much because I took issue with the ideas of potentially preventing people from becoming criminals but because the approach called for making our streets less safe long before any such efforts could yield benefits.
Now, communities like Atlantic City are so awash in violence, they’re asking for more police . Two Atlantic City Council members are among those calling for the New Jersey State Police to be brought in to help curb the recent gun violence. The call for help comes in the wake of a deadly quadruple shooting on the 1700 block of Atlantic Avenue Sunday night. On Monday she was joined by community members and City Council members Latoya Dunston and Moisse Delgado, pleading for help from the state to stop the violence. “This war has been going on for a long time, it’s not just yesterday. My son will never be able to use his arm again. He got two daughters and a job, what’s he going to do?” said Faulkner. “Send in some assistance with the state police. We’re told we don’t have enough police officers, then we need to send someone in here that can help us,” said Councilwoman Latoya Dunston of the 2nd Ward. “Gov. Murphy, thank you for all you’ve done but we need you to come and help us with this situation going on,” said Atlantic City Council Vice President Moisse Delgado. So much for defunding the police, huh?
Atlantic City isn’t the only community making similar requests. Albany, New York has needed state police help with their violence problem as well.
It seems that many left-leaning cities are abandoning the “defund the police” mantra, but it’s not just in the cities. In fact, it looks like even President […]

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
