New Orleans’ Crime-Crushing Camera Program Could Be Deployed in DC Under Trump…

 

Dems have built an entire political platform on giving criminals free rein, but when the rubber hits the road, they don’t have a leg to stand on. American families want to be safe and live in communities that aren’t left-wing war zones. President Trump is making that possible, and the people are thankful for it.

Watch: Lifelong DC residents are ecstatic President Trump is cleaning up their city... - Revolver News  . . ."Of course, left-wing politicians can’t admit they need Trump’s help. If they did that, it would be admitting to their own failures. So they pretend everything is fine, as if soaring crime is totally acceptable and Trump is the problem.
Instead, they try to paint President Trump as some kind of evil dictator. Because in their twisted world, if you try to stop crime, you’re “literally Hitler.”
Meanwhile, the murder rates soar." . . .
"But as these lifelong DC residents prove, the American people don’t care about toxic political spin.
"They just want to live in safe communities where they and their families can thrive without fear of being murdered.
"And speaking of celebrating Trump’s recent move, the DC police unions are also cheering him on and praising his efforts to clean up crime." . . .
"BREAKING: The President of the DC Police Union has come out in FULL SUPPORT of President Trump’s takeover of the police department
"  'We completely agree with the President that the crime in the District of Columbia is out of control and something needs to be done.
"The fact that we need help from federal law enforcement and maybe even the National Guard should not, as a surprise.”  . . .


"Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton criticized President Donald Trump’s decision to deploy National Guard troops to Washington, D.C., and place the city’s police department under federal control, as reported by The Gateway Pundit.
"The move comes after a series of violent incidents in the capital, including the assault of Edward Coristine, a Department of Government Efficiency employee, known by the nickname “Big Balls,” who was attacked by a group of assailants." . . .  More...


New Orleans’ Crime-Crushing Camera Program Could Be Deployed in DC Under Trump…   There is ZERO reason cities should have any crime. In New Orleans the police started a program where business owners could put facial recognition cameras on their buildings and share the feeds with police. They used the data to round up violent repeat offenders.
The results: - lowest murder rates since the 70s - carjackings down 40% - gun violence in hot spots down 80% - known gang members effectively cordoned out of downtown areas

The Eurabian Push for a Hamas State

Janet Levy - American Thinker   "The hostility toward Israel in Europe is matched only by the enthusiasm for establishing a Palestinian state controlled by Hamas. Leading this effort is France: President Emmanuel Macron announced on July 25 that his country would recognize a Palestinian state later this year. Knesset member Dan Illouz rightly opposed such a state as “a gift to the terrorists of October 7.”

. . . "Meanwhile, despite the more than 750 Islamist no-go zones in his country, the demand for Sharia law, and over 700 antisemitic crimes reported after the Oct 7 attack, Macron still believes that supporting Palestine will bring peace at home.

"Macron, Starmer, and other EU leaders are also naive to believe that a Palestinian state recognized by the world will bring stability to the Middle East. When Israel withdrew from Gaza in 2005, Gazans destroyed greenhouses and modern farming systems provided free of charge and immediately elected a terrorist government. Since then, every restriction imposed by Israel has been necessary for self-defense because construction materials are diverted to build tunnels, pipes, and steel are used for rockets and mortars, and food and agricultural shipments are used to smuggle in chemicals for bomb making. Given its belligerence, Hamas will repeat what happened in 2005, causing hardships for Gazans and intensifying its terrorist activities.

"With Hamas controlling a new Palestinian state, the threat to Israel will increase. Therefore, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu strongly opposes the two-state solution proposed in the declaration. U.S. President Donald Trump, like Illouz, has called the proposed Palestinian state a “reward for Hamas.” And Danny Danon, Israel’s ambassador to the U.N., said, “This is hypocrisy and a waste of time that legitimizes terrorism and hinders any chance of regional progress.”

"But the most forceful words of opposition, perhaps, came from Israel’s Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar, who told international reporters, “Establishing a Palestinian state today is establishing a Hamas state, a jihadist state. It ain’t gonna happen.” Let us hope so."

UCLA has so debased itself, no parent should entrust their college-age student to that institution

 Patricia McCarthy

   "This year’s valedictorian at UCLA’s College of Letters and Science graduation, Jamie Han, delivered a crude, profane and anti-American speech this past June, while the professors sitting beside her nodded in approval and those around her clapped. It has begun to draw attention now.

"It should surprise no one.

"Nearly all but a few of our universities have, aggressively, for the last twenty years, and more surreptitiously for the thirty years before that, strived to indoctrinate, essentially to brainwash, their students to accept and promote Marxism -- of the socialist variety and often of the purely communist version.  This dates back at least to Angela Davis.

"So, again, no one should be surprised by this Chinese student’s contempt for our country and for our president.  She learned it in those UCLA classrooms.  Being a first-generation immigrant Chinese, she probably learned it throughout her childhood from birth.  There are no more ungrateful young people than those welcomed here from other nations.  No matter how much they are coddled, subsidized, given scholarships they do not merit, they still hate this country.

Ingratitude is a crime more despicable than revenge, which is only returning evil for evil, while ingratitude returns evil for good.

― William George Jordan

"Ms. Han hates this country that has given her a home so much that she shouted out “Excuse my language, but to that I say, ‘f*** ICE and f*** the Trump administration,” Han concluded, before smiling. 

"Is this not the best example of gross ingratitude we’ve ever had to endure? "


Take Their Funding Away: UCLA Professors Nod Along as Valedictorian Goes on Anti-Trump Tirade at Graduation  

"As the University of California at Los Angeles remains locked in a federal funding battle with the White House, a clip of this year’s valedictorian cursing at President Donald Trump during her graduation speech has resurfaced, and the timing couldn’t be worse."

. . . "The cultural rot that’s destroying our nation’s fabric is coming from academia. There’s no getting around it.

"Students are taught to hate America and focus only on its faults. They study lesson plans that tear down our leaders and offer Marxist replacements, while diversity, equity, and inclusion are promoted with cult-like devotion.

"Feminism also rules supreme in college classrooms across the nation, creating even more division between men and women. These radical elements making their way from the campus into society are partly why Trump won in 2024. The public finally had enough.

"Lest we forget, many college students woke up after graduation to realize they’d been conned. They were lied to, constantly lectured on subjective morality, and fed political opinions for four years — all while getting charged $100,000 and going into debt for the privilege of being brainwashed." . . .

Radicalism Rebranded: Is New York City’s ‘Mamdani Moment’ America’s Problem?

Kim Ezra Shienbaum - American Thinker

"Even foreign policy has been affected. Groups once universally condemned as terrorist organizations, like Hamas, have been rebranded in activist spaces as “resistance” movements, sheltering under the umbrella of Progressive intersectionality."


"Many Americans are asking how we reached a point where lawlessness, anti-Americanism, and open sympathy for terrorists are not only tolerated but celebrated—and where mayoral candidates who would once have been considered “fringe” can win primaries in major cities. The answer? Since the 1960s, the United States has undergone one of the most dramatic political rebrandings in modern history, particularly on the Left. The sixties radicals never disappeared. Their ideas, once considered extreme, have not only resurfaced, they’ve been rebranded.  Today, extremism is marketed to new generations as compassionate, inclusive, and enlightened, marching under the “progressive” banner and embraced by a growing bloc of post-9/11, college-educated voters.

"However, while the rhetoric has softened, the underlying ideology and its mission remain unchanged.  Indeed, the label “Progressive” is itself a branding triumph.  It wraps radical demands in the soft language of European-style social democracy.  But the resemblance is misleading.  Unlike Europe’s Social Democratic parties, which operate comfortably within free market economies and reject Marxist class conflict, the American progressive left is anti- capitalist and embraces identity-based Marxism, recasting social conflict in terms of race, ethnicity, and gender.  Today, that rebranding is no longer confined to universities or activist circles—it is shaping electoral outcomes.  The rise is not an aberration, but the culmination of a movement decades in the making.

The Radical Roots

"In the 1960s, radical groups like Students for a Democratic Society, the Weather Underground, and the Black Panthers openly called for dismantling America’s political and cultural framework.  Their rhetoric—violent, confrontational, and contemptuous of American identity—alienated the public.  The Left learned a crucial lesson: they could not win by storming the gates.  To succeed, they would need to exchange the vocabulary of revolution for the language of compassion, justice, and human rights.

The Rebranding Campaign

"Over decades, the Left refined its message. Words that once triggered alarm were replaced with language that sounded moral and inclusive.  This was more than semantics—it reframed the debate over what America is and should be.  Policies once seen as dangerous gained legitimacy by being rebranded as moral necessities.  Over the next several decades, the radicals and their ideological heirs shifted the battleground from the streets to the lecture hall, the newsroom, the school board meeting and now to City Hall." . . . More...
