Picking up where we left off last week, rampant organized looting – apologies if the word “looting” is triggering, a term that has, in turn, also become triggering – wracked various American cities over the holiday weekend. When crime is ignored, downplayed, justified, or even decriminalized, crime increases. Lax attitudes and enforcement of “lower level” crimes can manifest in spiking violent crime , too. A number of so-called progressive blue cities have spent the last year-plus de-emphasizing and demonizing enforcement, often in the name of “equity” and “justice.”
How’s that working out? Chicago : Shoppers returned to stores this Black Friday, but criminals did too…burglars targeted a trio of shops in a crime spree in Wicker Park early Friday morning.

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
