Soros-backed District Attorney was humiliated after being forced to admit one failure in this statement

George Soros has installed far-left prosecutors around the country.

The consequences have been deadly.

And this Soros-backed District Attorney was humiliated after being forced to admit one failure in this statement.

Violent crime spiked in 2020 due to COVID hysteria and the months-long George Floyd riots.

The jump in crime was the worst one-year increase in American history.

But the Democrats and their media allies are looking at the problem backward.

CNN recently wrote a piece pushing for gun control, and it tried to link the rise in violent crime to the rise of gun sales in 2020 and 2021.

CNN reported that “the covid-19 pandemic shut down schools, businesses, and critical social services nationwide, leaving many low-income people isolated and desperate — facing the loss of their jobs, homes, or both. The same year, police murdered George Floyd, a Black man in Minneapolis, which released pent-up fury over racial discrimination by law enforcement, education, and other institutions — sparking nationwide protests and calls to cut police funding. In the midst of this racial reckoning and facing the threats of an unknown and deadly virus, Americans bought even more guns, forcing some cities, such as Raleigh, North Carolina; Chicago; New York City; and Oakland, to confront a new wave of violent crime.”

According to CNN, buying the guns “forced” cities to “confront a new wave of violent crime.”

But the people buying the guns were law-abiding citizens in response to the big jump in violent crime.

In 2020, 40% of the gun purchases were made by first-time gun owners.

Those were not the people taking to the streets and committing violent crimes

In Oakland, Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price, one of the radical prosecutors bankrolled by George Soros, said, “We are in a unique, crazy time where everybody in this community has a gun.”

People have guns because pro-crime prosecutors like Price keep putting violent criminals back on the streets.

The problem has gotten so bad that the Oakland chapter of the NAACP called out city officials.

The group wrote in a letter to city leadership, “Oakland residents are sick and tired of our intolerable public safety crisis that overwhelmingly impacts minority communities. Murders, shootings, violent armed robberies, home invasions, car break-ins, sideshows, and highway shootouts have become a pervasive fixture of life in Oakland. We call on all elected leaders to unite and declare a state of emergency and bring together massive resources to address our public safety crisis.”

Instead of keeping violent criminals in jail, the Democrats and their media allies want to blame law-abiding citizens who purchased guns during a historic crime wave.

Nancy Pelosi couldn’t believe her eyes as this damning report hits the public

Deadly and highly addictive drugs such as fentanyl have proliferated nearly every community across the nation. 

Democrat controlled parts of America see particularly high amounts of fentanyl use, resulting in thousands of drug related deaths every year. 

But Nancy Pelosi couldn’t believe her eyes as this damning report hit the public. 

San Francisco’s drug problem has gotten more deadly in recent years

Most American communities suffer from widespread drug use, especially those under the control of radical Democrats. 

For example, in San Francisco, thousands of fentanyl and other hard drug users roam the streets, due in part to San Francisco’s lenient drug policies. 

If anything, many public policy experts argue that San Francisco practically encourages drug use via a number of policies such as clean needle exchanges, and so-called “safe use zones.”

However, The Guardian released a report this week, showing that San Francisco and the entire state of California is in the midst of a deadly overdose surge. 

Per The Guardian, “In the first nine months of 2023, the northern California city saw 692 people die of overdoses, more than in the entire year of 2022, according to new data reported by the city’s medical examiner.” 

The report added, “The city is on track to see more than 800 deaths this year, topping its highest year ever, 2020, when it saw 720. August was the deadliest month on record – with an overdose death every nine hours.”

Dr. Daniel Ciccarone, a professor at the University of California, San Francisco addressed these findings, saying “It’s going to be an almost 25% increase over last year – that’s crazy and unfortunate.”

He added, “I had predicted the epidemic would start to burn out.  But it is unbelievably resilient and horribly durable.”

While Dr. Ciccarone and other self-described medical experts try to put the pieces together, many point to California and San Francisco’s drug policies as a potential source of this spike in drug-related deaths. 

In San Francisco, and many other west coast cities, drug use is largely tolerated, and even sanctioned through the use of needle exchanges and other pro-drug policies.

Liberal politics are killing the people of San Francisco, but don’t expect any major changes anytime soon

Although a number of reports have uncovered the damage that San Francisco’s drug policies wreak on the general public, you should not expect any major changes anytime soon. 

San Francisco has become the most radically far-left controlled city in the nation, repelling businesses and taxpayers, while attracting homeless people and drug addicts. 

Rather than address drug use as a problem, lawmakers in San Francisco have instead treated it as a respected lifestyle choice. 

Thousands of dead San Franciscans have resulted in this perverted world view, and any change will likely be slow and ineffective.

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro just slammed radical Philadelphia anti-Semitic mob after one jaw-dropping act

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro just slammed radical Philadelphia anti-Semitic mob after one jaw-dropping act

The attack by Hamas on the state of Israel has had a ripple effect.

As the Israelis retaliated against their attackers, protesters here at home have gotten unruly and at times dangerous.

Now Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro just slammed a radical Philadelphia anti-Semitic mob.

Sunday Night was a chaotic scene in the City of Brotherly Love.

A group of protests led by the Philly Palestine Coalition devolved into an anti-Semitic mob when the group targeted a Jewish-owned Philadelphia falafel restaurant called Goldie’s.

The Philadelphia chain is owned by Mike Solomonov, an Israeli-born, Pittsburgh raised chef.

Protesters yelled, “Goldie, Goldie you can’t hide, we charge you with genocide.”

The chanting was met with widespread condemnation, including from Pennsylvania’s high-profile (and Jewish) Democrat Governor, Josh Shapiro.

Shapiro: “This is hate and bigotry,” not peaceful protest

Shapiro wrote on X, “Tonight in Philly, we saw a blatant act of antisemitism – not a peaceful protest. A restaurant was targeted and mobbed because its owner is Jewish and Israeli. This hate and bigotry is reminiscent of a dark time in history.”

But if this is a story that merited a response from the Governor of our nation’s 5th largest state, you wouldn’t know it from watching America’s corporate media channels.

While this incident received little to no coverage on CNN or MSNBC or NBC News, the Daily Mail of the UK covered the happenings more extensively.

Unfortunately for residents of Philadelphia, this wasn’t the only eyebrow-raising occurrence over the weekend.

At the nearby University of Pennsylvania, students called for an “intifada,” or a violent uprising against Israel.

Intifada is the name given to a Palestinian uprising against Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip, beginning in 1987.

Chaya Raichik documented the scene on social media, writing, “Happening now at @Penn. Hundreds of students marching chanting for “Intifada revolution.” Imagine being a Jewish student there…”

But the rioting and provocations weren’t limited to Philadelphia.

Bigotry spreads to the Big Apple

In the Big Apple, a similar scene unfolded.

Eli Klein wrote on X, “Today in NYC a mob chanting “there is only one solution, Intifada revolution”. I don’t call this a “protest.” Calling for the mass murder of Jews is not “protesting.” If the KKK were calling for the mass murder of Blacks, would we call it a “protest?”

A user called AG documented harassment by pro-Hamas demonstrators, saying, “Visibly Jewish person walks by pro-Hamas NYC rally yesterday. He gets called a “nazi,” “k*ke,” “Jew piece of shit,” and a “genocide supporter.” At what point are we going to stop pretending any of this is about supporting Palestinians or a ceasefire?”

In the end, this is all a very unfortunate state of affairs.

Anti-Semitism has exploded into mainstream thought and the vast majority of these demonstrators and agitators are on the political Left.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was all smiles when she heard bad news about the NYPD

New York has been thrown into chaos.

But no Rudy Giuliani figure is coming to clean up the city.

And Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was all smiles when she heard bad news about the NYPD.

Far-left Democrats like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have been banging the table for the police to be defunded.

Some radicals have even called for the police to be abolished.

And Ocasio-Cortez is getting her wish, though not under the circumstances she wanted.

Due to pro-crime policies and budget constraints because of Joe Biden’s migrant crisis, funding for cops has been slashed.

The city already planned to cancel the next five police academy classes, and cops are walking off the job.

The New York Post reported that “2,516 NYPD cops have left so far this year, the fourth highest number in the past decade and 43% more than the 1,750 who hightailed it in 2018, before the pandemic and crime spikes hit the city, NYPD pension data show. The number of cops quitting before they reach the 20 years required to receive their full pensions also skyrocketed from 509 in 2020 to 1,040 so far this year — an alarming 104% increase, the data show.”

So cops are walking away from their full pensions because conditions have gotten so bad.

Patrick Hendry, president of the Police Benevolent Association, said that cops have been forced to work “inhumane amounts of forced overtime…The workload is a leading factor driving people away from the job…If the NYPD is going to survive these staffing reductions, it cannot just keep squeezing cops for more hours.”

Police resignations around the country skyrocketed in light of the George Floyd riots of 2020 that roiled for several months.

The budget cuts have been a direct response to the influx of thousands of illegal aliens into the city.

Mayor Eric Adams said, “No city should be left to handle a national humanitarian crisis largely on its own, and without the significant and timely support we need from Washington, D.C. Today’s budget will be only the beginning…In all my time in government, this is probably one of the most painful exercises I’ve gone through.”

New York and other so-called sanctuary jurisdictions are getting what they asked for.

But it turns out that running a city is a lot harder than virtue-signaling to the “woke” Left.

Mothers are horrified after this New York woman does the unimaginable

Mothers are horrified after this New York woman does the unimaginable

Most behavioral science experts agree that children raised in a loving home have a much higher chance of succeeding as an adult. 

Yet millions of American children live in homes with abusive, and negligent parents who couldn’t care less about the welfare of their children.

And mothers are horrified after this New York woman does the unimaginable.

This harrowing case out of New York demonstrates the evil that exists in today’s world

From Seattle to Miami, young people are committing more crimes than at any other time in recent memory. 

Many experts agree that failed homes, which often lack two loving parents, are directly to blame for this crime surge as these young people turn to negative influences over the influence of trusted and responsible adults. 

At the end of the day, parents bear the responsibility for raising their children and many parents have put themselves over their children. 

In New York City for example, a woman made national headlines after an alleged complete meltdown caused the unthinkable to happen to her boyfriend’s infant daughter. 

On Friday, WWNY reported that Tiara Allen faced multiple indictments after allegedly shaking her boyfriend’s five-month-old infant to death this past summer.

Per New York state police, Allen faces charges for second-degree murder, second-degree manslaughter, first-degree assault, reckless assault of a child, and endangering the welfare of a child. 

WWNY reported that “State police said Allen was caring for her boyfriend’s 5-month-old infant on July 7 at their home on Sand Road in the town of Fowler.”

It added, “According to troopers, Allen became frustrated with the baby’s crying and began to shake the child. The infant became unresponsive and was transported to Gouverneur Hospital and then taken to Upstate Golisano Children’s Hospital in Syracuse. Police said the baby was diagnosed with anoxic brain injury and subdural hematomas as a result of Allen’s actions.” 

If found guilty, Tiara Allen could face significant penalties including extensive jail time and financial ruin. 

It almost goes without saying that the parents of the deceased toddler are inconsolable, and feel betrayed and outraged as a result of Allen’s alleged violent actions. 

What this horrific child murder case reveals about modern society

The bottom line is that many adults do not respect the sanctity of life, and the importance of raising children properly. 

Although Tiara Allen’s alleged child murder represents the extreme side of bad parenting and/or child supervision, it represents society’s reluctance to give children the tools they need to prosper.

In many Democrat-controlled parts of the nation, parents allow their children to act however they please, leading to smash and grab robberies such as the ones seen in Los Angeles and massive marauding flash mobs breaking out, such as the ones seen in Chicago.

Gavin Newsom is clenching his fists in rage after this gun owner takes a stand

Gavin Newsom is clenching his fists in rage after this gun owner takes a stand

Radical Democrats aren’t hiding their desire to disarm the American public.

Their so-called “common-sense gun control” laws often take guns away from law-abiding citizens.

But Gavin Newsom is shaking with rage after this gun owner takes a stand

Law-abiding Americans are paying the price for the Left’s crusade on guns

Many on the Left happily admit that disarming the American public is among their top priorities.

In Democrat-controlled parts of America, legally owning a fireman has become virtually impossible, meanwhile hoodlums run wild through the streets with a wide variety of illegal firearms.

Early on Saturday morning, a home owner in Los Angeles was reminded of the importance of gun ownership after three criminals broke into his home.

According to LA’s Fox11, “One of the suspects allegedly pointed a weapon at the homeowner while the suspects were inside the residence. The homeowner then produced a handgun and a shooting occurred, police said.”

The report added that “According to authorities, the homeowner shot multiple rounds at the intruders after they entered the home.  One suspect was pronounced dead at the scene by officials.”

Even more concerning, Fox11 reported that “The homeowner, grandmother and child were all home at the time of the incident.”

Authorities are attempting to identify the suspects, one of which is dead.  A blood trail was discovered on the crime scene, indicating that one of the other suspects was likely shot as well.

According to police, the thieves left their vehicle at the scene, which should make the identification process much easier. 

Although many jurisdictions would consider this shooting an act of self-defense, California has a reputation of siding with criminals, meaning that the homeowner is anything but safe from prosecution.

Just recently, the Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC) released a study, showing that California has seen an especially strong surge in violent crime in recent years.

Per the PPIC, “Recently released FBI crime data from two-thirds of the country’s law enforcement agencies indicate that California’s violent crime rate is increasingly diverging from the national trend: as of 2022, it is 31% higher than the US rate.”

It added, “This divergence is driven largely by aggravated assaults, which have been declining nationwide while rising in California.”

Study after study proves how dangerous the Golden State has become

Nearly every crime study released in the last several years proves that crime, especially violent crime, has surged significantly in recent years.

Many experts agree that pro-crime policies, which make it easier for criminals to get back in the streets, are a leading cause for this spike.

Additionally, California’s strict gun laws have made it harder than ever for people to defend themselves.

As in the case of this chilling thwarted robbery, criminals will always have access to guns. 

Snatching guns from citizens only makes society a more dangerous place.

Christmas Shoppers were left speechless after a major toy store announced they’re shutting down in this Democrat city

Christmas Shoppers were left speechless after a major toy store announced they’re shutting down in this Democrat city

Democrats have waged an all-out war on businesses through their anti-business and pro-crime policies. 

Business owners are fleeing from Democrat-controlled parts of America to avoid putting their businesses and employees in harm’s way as a result. 

Now Christmas Shoppers are speechless after this major toy store leaves this Democrat city.

This Lego store just became the latest business to flee from the Bay Area

Businesses both big and small are desperately fleeing many of America’s Democrat-controlled cities.

The Bay Area in particular repelled countless businesses, who often cite out of control crime and high taxes as a leading cause for their departure.

And last Sunday, the San Francisco Chronicle reported that the Lego store in the San Francisco Centre Mall has become the latest business to leave San Francisco.

Per the San Francisco Chronicle, “The Lego store inside San Francisco Centre permanently closed its doors Thursday, according to a company official, it’s the latest retailer to leave the troubled mall.”

It added “We are always reviewing our store portfolio to ensure that we can provide the best LEGO experience for shoppers and fans. As a result, we recently made the decision to close our LEGO Store in the San Francisco Centre,” LEGO spokesperson Colleen Arons said in an email to the Chronicle.”

Many local residents are shocked about the sudden departure of the LEGO store, especially given that they left in the heart of the Christmas shopping season. 

One upset Bay Area local to Reddit to voice their frustration, posting a picture of the abandoned store with the caption “Looks like there was no notice given, or closing sale. It just shut on Thursday. Note on the door says it’s permanent. Staff had verbally confirmed the store would stay open after Westfield abandoned the mall.”

Earlier this year, Nordstrom’s flagship store similarly left the San Francisco Centre Mall, citing out of control crime as a leading reason for the shocking closure. 

Businesses will keep fleeing the Bay Area as long as crime continues to grow

The sudden departure of the LEGO store in the heart of the busy 2023 Christmas shopping cycle shows just how desperate many retailers are to leave the Bay Area. 

Stores such as LEGO would rather forgo millions in profit in order to avoid the chaos of San Francisco.

Ever since the race riots of 2020, crime has spiked significantly in San Francisco, and many other Democrat controlled parts of America, destroying businesses and eliminating jobs.

Although many parts of California have made claims that they are pursuing retail thieves, retail theft continues to climb.

One eye-opening invasion video will leave your jaw on the floor

One eye-opening invasion video will leave your jaw on the floor

Joe Biden has made America less safe.

He and the Democrats refuse to secure the border.

And one invasion video will leave your jaw on the floor.

Upon taking office, Joe Biden reversed Donald Trump’s effective border policies for no good reason.

The predictable result is record-high levels of illegal immigration into the country.

Border state governors are forced to bus illegal aliens to “sanctuary” jurisdictions like New York, Chicago, and Washington, D.C.

Now migrants are even boating into Malibu, a posh beachfront in Los Angeles.

Fox News immigration reporter Bill Melugin wrote, “Video from a contact in Malibu shows a panga boat full of suspected illegal immigrants landing on a beach near his home this week. Incredibly rare to see this so far north, as Malibu is 100+ miles away from the border. Unclear if anyone caught, awaiting a CBP response.”

A couple days earlier, a similar panga boat was found sunken off the coast of Los Angeles.

Back in March, eight people died after a suspected smuggler’s boat capsized outside of San Diego.

The migrant problem is not going away; it’s getting worse.

Democrats and open borders organizations have invited unfettered illegal immigration into the country with their rhetoric and their actions.

Ironically, Democrats have been singing a different tune now that they have had to experience the constant reality of border towns.

In 2019 when Republicans first floated the idea of sending migrants to Democrat strongholds like Los Angeles, Hollywood diva Cher tweeted, “I Understand Helping struggling Immigrants,but MY CITY (Los Angeles) ISNT TAKING CARE OF ITS OWN.WHAT ABOUT THE 50,000+ [American] Citizens WHO LIVE ON THE STREETS.PPL WHO LIVE BELOW POVERTY LINE,& HUNGRY? If My State Can’t Take Care of Its Own(Many Are VETS)How Can it Take Care Of More.”

Democrat D.C. Councilwoman Brianne Nadeau said, “We’ve learned from border towns like El Paso and Brownsville and in many ways the governors of Texas and Arizona have turned us into a border town.”

New York City Mayor Eric Adams was even more forceful with his language.

During a public event, Adams said, “Never in my life have I had a problem that I did not see an ending to. I don’t see an ending to this. I don’t see an ending to this. This issue will destroy New York City…We’re getting 10,000 migrants a month.”

Illegal aliens are coming into the country by land, sea, and air.

And the federal government is doing next to nothing about it.

John Fetterman just threw a fellow Democrat under the bus in appearance on The View

John Fetterman just threw a fellow Democrat under the bus in appearance on <Em>The View</Em>

Finley Peter Dunne said that “politics ain’t beanbag” and unlike in beanbag, political hits can sting.

That’s especially true when other politicians who don’t like you happen to smell blood in the water.

Now John Fetterman just threw a fellow Democrat under the bus in an appearance on The View.

U.S. Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) on ABC’s The View this past week.

The show’s catty co-hosts never miss an opportunity to kick a Republican when he is down but often play defense when it comes to imperiled Democrat politicians.

During the interview, Joy Behar said to the hooded-sweatshirt clad Fetterman, “You might have heard Congress just expelled George Santos. You’ve also been calling to get rid of Menendez, I know, but first before we talk about that, what’s your reaction to the expulsion?”

But Fetterman was surprisingly soft in his approach to Santos in response.

Then he went in for the kill when it came to Menendez.

Fetterman has a figurative target on Menendez’ back

The senator (eventually) said, “Well, it’s like I’m not surprised. I think the more important picture is that we have a colleague in the Senate that actually does much more sinister and serious kinds of things. Senator Menendez, he needs to go. And if you are going to expel Santos, how can you allow somebody like Menendez to remain in the Senate? And, you know, Santos is kind of funny. Lies were almost, you know, funny. And like, you know, he, you know, landed on the moon and that kind of stuff. Whereas, you know, I think, you know, Menendez, I think is really a senator for Egypt. You know, not New Jersey. So I really think he needs to go.”

The subject of lying may be a touchy one for Fetterman.

Fetterman suffered a stroke on May 13th of last year and his health has emerged as a major issue in the campaign against Republican Mehmet Oz.

After largely disappearing from the campaign trail and assurances from his campaign that Fetterman was in fine shape, the now-senator eventually sat for an interview with NBC’s Dasha Burns.

Burns relayed that in her estimation, Fetterman appeared to have trouble understanding small talk prior to their interview and she wasn’t sure he was even cognizant of what was going on.

That led to left-wing anger and fury at Burns for daring to speak the truth that all would eventually see weeks later in a disastrous senate debate performance.

Fetterman’s beef with Menendez has been long-standing.

Where there’s smoke, there may well be fire

In October, Fetterman became the first senator to call for Menendez’s resignation given the bribery charges against him. 

He even called on the Senate to vote to expel him. 

So far, other Senate Democrats have criticized Menendez but stopped short of urging him to resign, arguing that they should wait until a trial is concluded.

Federal investigators found nearly half a million dollars in cash and gold bars that were allegedly given to Menendez by three businessmen who are also under indictment.

Menendez also allegedly attempted to install an ally as a U.S. attorney to help one of his friends who was facing a separate indictment.

The FBI was left embarrassed after it got bitten by one problem plaguing Democrat strongholds

The FBI was left embarrassed after it got bitten by one problem plaguing Democrat strongholds

Merrick Garland’s Department of Justice is out of control.

Political enemies of Joe Biden have been treated like terrorists.

But the FBI just got bitten by one problem plaguing Democrat strongholds.

Instead of raiding the homes of pro-life activists and surveilling parents who protest at school board meetings, the FBI could perhaps focus on crime waves in Democrat-run cities.

Violent crime had its largest single-year increase by percentage from 2020 to 2021, and property crime has spiraled out of control.

Now an FBI agent was carjacked in Washington, D.C.

According to the latest crime statistics, carjackings are up 104% in the District compared to last year.

This isn’t even the most high-profile carjacking in the past couple of months.

In early October, Democrat Congressman Henry Cuellar of Texas was robbed in D.C.

Cuellar said, “I was just coming into my place. Three guys came out of nowhere and they pointed guns at me. I do have a black belt, but I recognize when you got three, three guns — I looked at one with a gun and another with a gun, a third one behind me — So they said they wanted my car. I said, ‘Sure.’ You’ve got to keep calm under those situations. And then they took off…I’m a big law enforcement person. I got three brothers in law enforcement, so I certainly appreciate the good work that the police did.”

Also in D.C., Democrat Congresswoman Angie Craig of Minnesota was assaulted in an elevator insider her apartment building earlier in the year.

Craig explained, “My morning coffee really saved the day yesterday, but not exactly how I expected it to…On a serious note, I will also say that I was very, very lucky that I was not more injured — and I’ll have more to say about that soon…I wanted to let everyone know that the outpouring of support from friends, constituents and colleagues has been overwhelming…I remain deeply grateful to the law enforcement officers for their quick response and subsequent arrest of a suspect last night.”

D.C. Police Chief Robert Contee III knows the solution to the problem.

He said, “We need to keep violent people in jail…[W]hen they are in jail, they can’t be in communities shooting people…So when people talk about what we’re gonna do different or what we should do different or what we need to do different, that’s the thing that we need to do different.”

Unfortunately for the law-abiding citizens of Washington D.C., pro-crime policies implemented by the Democrats have taken priority over common sense.
