When it comes to crime, the steadfast rule of cause and effect stands strong. Disturbing statistics document that it is on the rise in the United States, and the obvious question is why. It could be blamed on COVID-19, the scapegoat for nearly everything since early 2020. Then again, misguided leadership , poverty, and racism could be responsible. What’s Going On in D.C.?
(Photo by Anna Moneymaker/Getty Images) At this time last year there were 176 homicides reported in the D.C. area, compared to 199 as of Nov. 16, 2021. So far, the blame has been placed on district leaders and their soft approach to crime, emboldening lawbreakers.
For example, D.C.’s Committee on the Judiciary and Public Safety has passed a bill that would allow prisoners, even violent ones, to be released early. The stipulation is that the offender had to be 15 years of age or younger when the crime was committed and must have spent at least 15 years behind bars. Still, the current law reads much the same way. The only difference is the offender must have been 18 or younger when the crime occurred.
The Metropolitan Police Department has expressed discontent with the new law and received nothing but criticism for speaking up. Denise Krepp, head of the Advisory Neighborhood Commissions, has been a voice for the community and believes that this type of legislation sends the wrong message to criminals. After all, 15 years is nothing compared to a life sentence or death row. Keep It Under $1,000
In California, looters and petty thieves have no fear of jail time if they are careful about the value of what they snatch. In 2014, Proposition 47 was put into effect, making all thefts under a thousand dollars misdemeanors . This has done nothing but prop the door wide open for criminals and reckless behavior.
Theft rates in San Francisco alone are more than five times the national average. Stores are forced to reduce the number of operational hours to eliminate some opportunities for larceny. More expensive items are being kept […]

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!
