It has become routine, and one wonders if the perpetrators are conscious of the fact. First there is a mass shooting, usually committed by a certifiably mentally-ill leftist. Then after a brief period of the radical Left accusing the Right of being responsible (even to the point of the Biden-Harris regime specifically blaming innocent conservatives for the crimes), the truth comes out and they switch to blaming the weapons used, so they don’t have to admit that a leftist human being planned the crime and pulled the trigger, on purpose, again and again. We hate “to talk politics” in such...

It was a day for the record books, indeed. With great fanfare from the Democratic Party's house organs, once known as the mainstream media, a "historic" vote was held at the U.S. Capitol, on Thursday, April 7, A.D. 2022: By a majority vote of 53 to 47, the U.S. Senate voted to confirm the first publicly pro-convict Associate Justice to be added to the Supreme Court of the United States. Every single Democrat, from freshman to senior, from red state to blue - including alleged moderates like Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona and Joe Manchin of West Virginia - voted to...

At seventy years old, Willie Horton is serving multiple lifetime sentences in a Maryland prison. His case was once famous enough that we can be reasonably certain that this recidivist monster will never again be released to commit another crime. The nation is safe from Willie Horton. But the Democratic Party should not be. Thirty-three years ago, this generally unremarkable piece of detritus provided an important lesson to the American electorate....

The family of a murder victim in California was outraged to learn that the state has released the person responsible for killing their loved one as part of an effort to reduce the risk of COVID-19 outbreaks inside prisons. Terebea Williams, 44, was sentenced to 84 years-to-life in prison on charges including first-degree murder, using a firearm, carjacking, and kidnapping of 23-year-old Kevin “John” Ruska Jr. in 1998. However, Williams served less than a quarter of that sentence (19 years) before being released early as the California government tries to reduce its prison population.

Despite potential budget cuts being 4 days away and with Congress and the Administration negotiating to avoid them, the Department of Homeland Security has already started releasing hundreds of illegal aliens held in local jails in anticipation of automatic “sequestration” cuts – out of a planned total of more than 10,000 aliens to be released. Sources tell Stand With Arizona that DHS has “34,000 beds” for illegal aliens, meaning that Secretary Janet Napolitano is releasing nearly 1/3 of all DHS-detained illegal aliens in the United States – despite the fact that no actual cuts have even begun, and despite a...

Col. Terry Lakin was released from Levenworth prison today.

On Friday the Department of Corrections and Governor Quinn released the framework of an early release program the Governor claims is necessary due to the State's budgetary crisis. According to the Department of Corrections, the State will release approximately 1,000 "low level, non-violent" prisoners over the course of the next several months...

With California slipping into a financial sinkhole, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is proposing to save more than $180 million by cutting short the sentences of thousands of immigrants in the state's prisons and turning them over to federal authorities for deportation.
