Hundreds of detectives quitting NYPD – to criminals’ great relief

  Yesterday we talked about Seattle’s police force and its problems retaining officers, and how this was typical of many big cities.  As if to echo and reinforce the point, the New York Post points out that the NYPD is having the same problem with its detective force – the people who actually investigate crimes… Continue reading Hundreds of detectives quitting NYPD – to criminals’ great relief

OW OW OW OW OW OW!!!

  Courtesy of Watts Up With That: After this, it might be a while until climate activists try glueing themselves to anything in France. Activists should do their research before pulling a stunt like that. US and UK police might be soft on disruptive protestors, but there are some police forces you just don’t mess… Continue reading OW OW OW OW OW OW!!!

In many big cities, responding to crime is no longer the police force’s top priority

  This report from Seattle makes disturbing reading for those living there, but its implications stretch far beyond that city, and beyond Washington state as well.  The push to “defund the police” and impose left-wing, progressive perspectives on city administrations, prosecuting authorities and those who enforce the law has resulted in many liberal cities struggling… Continue reading In many big cities, responding to crime is no longer the police force’s top priority

Verily, the mind doth boggle

  It’s got to the point where politically correct bigots are denying medical facts in their efforts to dominate discourse. A Norwegian feminist faces up to three years in prison for saying that biological men can’t be lesbians. Yes, really. Christina Ellingsen, of the global feminist organization Women’s Declaration International (WDI), is under police investigation… Continue reading Verily, the mind doth boggle

Is it possible that moonbats can’t see how utterly crazy they’ve become?

  As evidence, I offer you this article. A ‘uterus-shaped’ cereal has been launched with the goal of putting conversations about periods on the table. Feminine care brand Intimina developed its raspberry-flavoured ‘Period Crunch’ to encourage families to discuss menstruation more openly at breakfast. Despite being marketed as womb-shaped, the cereal actually resembles the entire… Continue reading Is it possible that moonbats can’t see how utterly crazy they’ve become?

Two powerful thoughts on gun control

  While our senile President blathers on about 9mm “blowing out your lung” (it won’t) and threatening more gun control measures, I found two observations over the long weekend that sum up the futility of the latter option.  Click either image for a larger view. From Larry Lambert: And from the Latino Rifle Association: Both… Continue reading Two powerful thoughts on gun control

True dat

  I came across this tweet from RoosterFJB the other day.  I can’t find it today, which leads me to suspect it may have been deleted:  but fortunately I’d already saved a screenshot. Absolutely true, IMHO, based on decades of experience in most of sub-Saharan Africa, and two-and-a-half decades in the USA since then.  Transgenderism… Continue reading True dat

Quote of the day: When revolutionaries become dangerous…

  From Victor Davis Hanson: When revolutionaries undermine the system, earn the antipathy of the people, and face looming disaster at the polls, it is then they prove most dangerous—as we shall see over the next few months. Go read his thoughts on the matter.  I don’t think he’s wrong. Peter

Of course it’s “grooming”!

  Politifact has put out an article purporting to show that gender and sexuality “education” in schools is not grooming, but merely addressing actual issues where children need support.  I don’t propose to quote from it here;  if you’re interested, you can read it at the link provided above. I’ll merely post links to certain… Continue reading Of course it’s “grooming”!

The foundation of the USA

  Old NFO has published an essay by Ayn Rand dating back to 1944.  It’s prescient in the way it outlines the dilemma in which we find ourselves today.  Here’s an excerpt. Individualism holds that man is an independent entity with an inalienable right to the pursuit of his own happiness in a society where… Continue reading The foundation of the USA
