Crime Can Be Tackled by Return to '3 Strikes' Laws
America’s cities don’t have a crime problem. - Jarrett Stepman
The suspect in the Charlotte slaying, Decarlos Brown Jr., had 14 previous arrests.
“His history includes convictions for felony larceny, robbery with a dangerous weapon, and communicating threats—leading to a six-year prison sentence in 2015 for incidents dating to 2013 and 2014. He was released in 2020.”...
- They have a repeat-offender problem.
- States need to double down on “three strikes” laws.

Yet, he was again back on the streets and in a position to cut short the life of a young woman.
- The vast majority of crimes, especially violent crimes, are committed by people with a lengthy criminal record.

'Fundamental shift': Trump's work results in $5 billion monthly trade gain for U.S. * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh
'Fundamental shift': Trump's work results in $5 billion monthly trade gain for U.S. * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh:
Some of President Donald Trump's work to "Make America Great Again" and restore its business influence around the world has been high-profile, such as his use of tariffs to encourage other countries to be fair in their trade agreements.
Some haven't been quite that profile, but still have produced results.
Such as his campaign to build American energy development, production and sales.
Australia sells coal to China...
China burns the coal to make cheap solar panels.
Australia buys the panels back and calls it a ‘Just Transition. - Climate Change and EnvironMental issues.
- That’s not climate action — that’s a supply‑chain boomerang with a self‑inflicted black eye.
- - Shutting down affordable domestic energy while importing the same carbon in someone else’s packaging,
- - Paying more for power while your industries bleed jobs,
- - Handing leverage to a strategic rival who can cut you off at will,
- …then you’re not decarbonising — you’re carbon laundering and calling it progress.
- Energy poverty at home, geopolitical weakness abroad, and a dependency that can be weaponized overnight.
The emissions ledger may look cleaner, but the national balance sheet — and the strategic map — are dirtier than ever.
- A climate plan that trades sovereignty for optics isn’t a plan.
- It’s surrender dressed as virtue.

The War on mRNA—Apocalypse Imminent?
"The latest atrocity in the Trump War on Science™ has just dropped." - J. Scott Turner
- Robert F Kennedy Jr. has just announced that federal funding for research on mRNA vaccines has been cut by $500 million.
What about that “greatest medical breakthrough”?
Since the 1980s and prior to COVID-19, pharmaceutical companies had been dabbling in mRNA technology.
During this time, mRNA technology was largely a technique in search of a use...
Results generally fell short of the promise, plagued by ongoing concerns over stability and effectiveness...
As vaccines, however, mRNA technology has proved a mixed bag.
As vaccines, however, mRNA technology has proved a mixed bag.
- Reported adverse events (AE) are higher for the mRNA vaccines than for more traditional vaccines, although their incidence has arguably been exaggerated.
- Doubts have also swirled ever since about the effectiveness of the mRNA vaccines, and whether they prevent the disease or provide true immunity...
There is a deeper question to ask.
- Private industry funded much of the R&D behind mRNA vaccines.
- If it is such a promising technology, why can’t private industry step in and fund this work?...
The Tide is Turning Decisively Against Net Zero
In the belief that atmospheric CO2 is the control knob of ‘dangerous’ impending climate change, Net Zero emerged in the 2010s as the global rallying cry to ‘save the planet’. - Tilak DoshiBut a spate of recent headlines suggests that the ‘Net Zero by 2050’ policy is falling apart.
- There is a growing realisation across advanced economies that the grandiose project of achieving ‘Net Zero by 2050’ is collapsing under the weight of its own contradictions.
What was once heralded as a consensus across the political class, corporate boardrooms and multilateral agencies now looks increasingly like an edifice of ideology built on a vaporous, oxymoronic ‘consensus science‘.
The rising tide of empirical reality
- the costs of intermittent renewables,
- the geopolitical consequences of energy insecurity and
- the sheer scale of power demand growth from artificial intelligence infrastructure
has swept away the carefully constructed narrative of inevitability around the so-called energy transition...

For Democrats, media and other leftists, 'words no longer matter,' constitutional expert charges * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh:
A constitutional expert, a renowned legal expert and commentator whose opinions routinely appear in a long list of publications, has, inconveniently for Democrats and leftists, assembled a long list of "fighting" words, comments suggesting violence, even mayhem, by Democrats and leftists.
Why not? They ALWAYS lie!-----Whoopi Goldberg Rips Dems for Not Continuing Cover Up of Joe Biden’s Cognitive Decline
“If the Democrats had kept their mouths shut and looked like, hold on, hear what I’m saying, if they had kept their mouths shut and took care of this in-house, as opposed to making it a public spectacle, I think people would have had a better feel about it,” Goldberg said.Whoopi Goldberg criticized fellow Democrats during a broadcast of “The View” on Wednesday, saying the party should have handled concerns over Joe Biden’s decline privately rather than making them public during the 2024 election cycle...
- Joy Behar argued that sexism played a role in the outcome, saying the country would “never elect a woman.”..
- Sunny Hostin took a different stance, aligning more closely with Harris’ argument from her book that the stakes were too high regarding Biden’s decision to seek reelection...
'Gross misconduct': Washington Post columnist complains she was fired after sharing fake quote from Charlie Kirk * WorldNetDaily * by Nicole Silverio, Daily Caller News Foundation
'Gross misconduct': Washington Post columnist complains she was fired after sharing fake quote from Charlie Kirk * WorldNetDaily * by Nicole Silverio, Daily Caller News Foundation:
Columnist Karen Attiah complained on Monday that the Washington Post fired her for falsely quoting Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk following his assassination.
The Post fired Attiah for falsely quoting Kirk stating that "black women do not have the brain processing power to be taken seriously" on BlueSky, a left-wing social media website. In a Substack post, Attiah accused the Post of engaging in "hasty overreach" over their swift firing of her and instantly made her termination about race.
Why is he lying about the massive crime increase in those democrat-controlled cities??!!-----Republicans Escalate Their War on America’s Cities
Its most visible manifestation, of course, is President Trump’s deployment of the National Guard to Los Angeles and Washington, which he expanded to Memphis last Friday. - Harold Meyerson
...Perry’s amendment may be the reductio ad absurdum of the Republicans’ war on cities, but it is part of a far broader party offensive, waged at the level of state government as well as federal, that is both accelerating and intensifying...
As I reported in February of last year, the current wave began in 2016 when North Carolina nullified a Charlotte ordinance that penalized violations of LGBTQ rights...
- This year, we’ve also seen Trump’s Guard deployments set a template for red-state governors.
- In Texas, Republican Gov. Greg Abbott deployed the Guard and state troopers to Houston in case there were protests of ICE’s deportation sweeps,
- and in Louisiana, Republican Gov. Jeff Landry sent state police into New Orleans to conduct sweeps of their own of the city’s homeless encampments...
Do they actively the crime that has devastated the cities they control??!!-----Crime is Still Down in Washington, DC - John Sexton
Isn't it curious you haven't heard much about that lately?
- President Trump's emergency control over the DC police ended last week.
- Isn't it curious you haven't heard much about that lately?
- That's probably because it worked.
NPR ran this segment a few days ago.
JENNIFER LUDDEN, BYLINE: I head first to the Southeast D.C. neighborhood of Congress Heights, an area with high poverty and a history of high crime. Thirty-two-year-old Michael Jackson (ph) is waiting for a bus in a yellow vest for his job in maintenance and cleanup. He also lives nearby and says he's seen positive change the past month.
MICHAEL JACKSON: No more hanging out. You don't hear a lot of gun noises, a lot of gunshots. It's a lot more peaceful.
LUDDEN: D.C.'s police department says violent crime during the surge fell 39% compared to the same time period last year. Jackson thinks the amped-up security sent a message to would-be criminals.
JACKSON: Do they really want to be involved with the ATF, FBI? So that gave criminals a chance to think, like, do the right thing.
- But NPR was able to find several progressives who said they felt unsafe...
