Crime

While President Biden and local officials keep talking about causes for the rise in crime in our major cities, proposing “solutions” that have failed in the past, like former President Bill Clinton’s Midnight Basketball idea, the real reason for its escalation is deeper than what we see on the surface. The president’s proposals delivered in New York City last week are more window dressing. As…

Once again the evening news broadcasts completely ignored a story that does not jive with their leftist political agenda. On Tuesday, outrage swept Capitol Hill when the Biden Justice Department was found to have given Montez Lee, a Black Lives Matter rioter a lighter sentence than is called for in the sentencing guidelines. With all three evening news broadcasts ignoring the story, it was…

Over the weekend, CNN host Jim Acosta joined his Democrat congressional guest in being dismissive of the need to actually lock up criminals who commit serious offenses as the two fretted over Fox News's insightful criticisms of President Joe Biden's failure to call out his party's soft-on-crime policies.

Who’s ready for more ish from an ish franchise show? This time, the culprit is Freeform’s grown-ish, a spinoff of ABC's racist comedy black-ish. And the liberal cause de jour is illegal immigration, as the show depicted a young illegal immigrant who committed a hit-and-run felony as a “poor kid” who “probably doesn’t stand a chance” in our broken system because he’s…

Twice this week, Fox News Channel has shown viewers the kind of pro-gun story that should be seen a lot more often as the media are usually fixated on guns used by criminals while ignoring those used by law-abiding citizens to protect themselves.

With the rise in crime continuing to sweep through the country, President Joe Biden paid a visit to New York City Thursday to meet with Mayor Eric Adams. During their coverage, Thursday, both ABC World News Tonight and CBS Evening News covered the rampant crime in New York with a focus on guns, instead of the Democrat Party's defund the police rhetoric and policies. Only NBC Nightly News made…

Over the weekend, CNN aired a pre-recorded special from reporter Sara Sidner that devoted an hour to portraying police officers as engaging in widespread racial discrimination against African Americans. As is typical of the liberal network, there was no acknowledgement that people of all races are sometimes subjected to violence during arrests as she declared that it is a system that is "…

During a live shot in downtown New York City for MSNBC late Thursday morning, White House correspondent Mike Memoli was repeatedly heckled by protesters critical of President Biden and the media. This occurred while Memoli was laughably trying to promote Biden’s trip to the city as a “model” for how Democrats can address surging crime rates across the country ahead of the midterm elections.…

Thursday was just another day in the reverse reality that the coven of ABC’s The View occupies as they lashed out Republicans with false accusations that they were the ones “defunding the police” in (heavily Democratic) cities around the country, and they were “the real problem” with rising gun violence in cities.

Trust in government has been declining since the administration of President Lyndon Johnson. According to Pew Research, only 36 percent of Democrats and Democrat-leaning independents and 9 percent of Republicans and those leaning Republican now trust government. Who can blame them given the failure of government to perform on many levels? One might think that trust by Democrats would be lower…

“When they tell you who they are, listen,” goes the old saying. Actress Susan Sarandon has been shouting who she is – an anti-American far-left crank who never met an issue she hasn’t been wrong on – for decades.

On Monday, Hot Air Senior Editor Ed Morrissey reported on White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki trying “to shrug off American voters’ concerns over sharply increasing crime rates, especially in cities where prosecutors have taken up radical ‘reform’ by refusing to prosecute criminals.” He noted how: “When asked about the current political environment, Psaki tried to make concerns over crime…

On Jonathan Capehart's MSNBC show, Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot says "we have to invest our way" out of crime. She also describes adult criminals as being "under-resourced."

In an emotional message during her husband’s funeral at St. Patrick’s Cathedral on Friday, Dominique Luzuriaga, the widow of slain 22-year-old NYPD Detective Jason Rivera, blasted Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg for his weak-on-crime policies getting her husband killed. But despite how powerful a moment it was, ABC’s World News Tonight completely omitted her scathing rebuke of…
