Op-ed:
The Numbers, The System, and The Truth
By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots / Right Side Patriots Radio

Let's get something straight right up front...contrary to what the Democrats say guns do not kill people, people kill people, after all it takes someone to pull the trigger to release the bullet(s) that kill someone...that is an indisputable fact. And while the Democrats relish in spewing their gun control nonsense...an abject Second Amendment violation...gun control laws will in no way stop someone hell bent on killing from doing so. And why...because all gun control laws do is take firearms away from decent law abiding folks while not touching the guns left in the hands of criminals...criminals who will always find a way to secure a firearm...another indisputable fact.

But when one dares to mention guns and/or gun control laws even in passing...let alone gives facts regarding either...the discourse automatically tends to lead into a discussion about crime itself, the police,* the criminal justice system, and of course politics. So here in this article I will do just that using statistics, numbers, common sense and logic to represent undeniable truths that even the most clueless of “woke” sorts should see as truth and accept as fact as well as take responsibility for, but we know they simply won't.

Truth one...crime overall has indeed increased in many American cities and has done so ever since BLM entered the political landscape and started throwing out demands. And this correlation can easily be seen especially in Democrat controlled cities where both police budgets and personnel have drastically been cut to placate the ill-advised, racially driven Black Lives Matter initiated “Defund the Police” movement. In fact, I'll go so far as to say that BLM and their assorted nasty ilk are the direct cause as to why crime figures over these past few years are on the rise what with political theatrics and media anointed cheerleaders working in tandem to help assure that police presence on the streets be greatly reduced. And this in and of itself leads to an increase in crime...“while the cat's away the mice will play” as the old saying goes.

Now as to actual numbers, 2021 crime figures show a 5% increase in violent crime over the 2020 figures; which itself saw a 44% increase over corresponding 2019 crime figures...with these numbers coming directly from the Council on Criminal Justice (CCJ)...with these numbers occurring as BLM's political presence and demands grew even stronger.

Truth two...in 2021 we saw actual homicide numbers reaching new record highs in twelve American cities,** and doing so even after 2020's homicide numbers saw their largest one-year increase in decades. And other cities like Seattle who cut their police funding by 20%; Minneapolis who cut their police funding by millions of dollars; and D.C. where its city council cut $15 million from its police budget; are also the cities where BLM protests that turned violent, as expected, led to a drastic increase in all manners of violent crime including a rise in homicides.

And here, homicide numbers wise, let's take for example the Democrat controlled city of Philadelphia...a city of about 1.5 million people...a city that saw its fair share of BLM nonsense...a city where in 2021 its residents bore witness to more than 521 homicides being committed, breaking New York City's previous record high of 445+ homicides... thus equated to a 13% increase in homicides over 2020's homicide rate.

But beyond these two just stated truths a key four part question remains...why exactly is this trend happening; why is it continuing into 2022; who exactly are the main perpetrators; and why are said perpetrators doing what they're doing?

The first part of the question is easy to answer and to be blunt it's solely because of the a fore mentioned denouncing and defunding of local law enforcement. Simply, with few police on the streets logic alone should dictate that criminals, and hence all nature of crime, would increase...which it sadly has. Now couple that with the fact that in Democrat controlled cities those who commit crimes basically face no fear of reprisals let alone being called to task. And it's all thanks to the multitude of “woke” liberal district attorneys who throw around both the “race card” and the “Get Out of Jail Free” card at will...throwing it... shoving it...in white America's face because they have collectively deemed our judicial system to be racist, which directly leads into my answering the second part of the above stated question.

While the truth regarding the perpetrators is not pretty nor something many want to hear, the fact is that while America's black community makes up only 13% of the total of America's population, 52% of all robberies and 51% of all murders in our country, since 2015, have been committed by blacks, especially by young black men. In other words, even as we now move further into 2022, an even smaller percentage of those within said 13% are still committing more than half of all crimes being reported, a trend likely to continue throughout this year. And many who commit said crimes are either supporters of or avowed adherents to “Black Lives Matter” (BLM) and its violence condoning, decidedly anti-American, pro-Marxist philosophy...which together, in my eyes, makes BLM a domestic terrorist organization whether they are officially labeled as such or not.

Now in relation to part three as to why the minority percentage within the said 13% do what they do one must first understand and accept as fact that the “system” as it stands now...as it has always stood...is in no way racist no matter what the liberal Democrats, their bought-and-paid for district attorneys, the kumbaya sorts, or even their media cohorts say. And really how could it be when statistics themselves show that more white people...whether armed or unarmed...are killed every year by the police in the line of duty...as in the police responding to a criminal situation...than are black people... thus meaning that if the “system” was truly racist, as some claim, the color ratio would actually be reversed.

Here is but one key figure to corroborate what I just said. In 2020, 904 people were shot and killed by the police with the percentage of blacks and whites killed almost being equal in number. However, where the issue seems to arise is in the words “disproportionate rate”...as in the liberals claiming that black Americans are killed by police at more than twice the rate of white Americans. Also being claimed by these same folks... BLM included...is that Hispanic Americans as well are also being killed by police at a “disproportionate rate.”

But the truth is that it is not a “disproportionate rate” when one takes into account the fact that blacks, even at only 13% of our population, commit more than 50+% of all crimes. In other words, a smaller number of blacks are actually committing the same amount...if not more...number of crimes than the actual number of whites committing the same crimes. And this is something that both the police and the district attorneys know to be truth, but something the police cannot outwardly say while the district attorneys gladly use it to the criminals...and the Democrats...advantage.

And so the truth continues to mean just about nothing in today's world...after all lies spewed help in garnering  Democrat votes...but here I still will site some specific numbers that the “powers that be” do not want you to know regarding the number of blacks killed by police in the act of committing a crime. In 2021, 200 blacks were killed by the police out of the total 1,051 people killed, meaning 851 of those killed were not black..which does account percentage wise to only 19.04% of those killed being black. Pray tell how is that a “disproportionate number” when blacks commit 50+% of all crimes...simply, it's not disproportionate in any way.

So as to answer part four of the above stated question regarding why the perps do what they do...it's simply because in today's heated political climate they can get away basically unpunished while garnering the spoils of their lawbreaking deeds. Convicted felons, no matter their race, more times than not are let back onto the streets or many times not even taken off said streets. Murderers, rapists, and child molesters freely roam the streets in Biden's America as do looters, rioters, and arsonists. And while BLM is not at fault for all those folks vile deeds, their pushing the “Defund the Police” movement down America's throat must bare the burden for a great number of crimes committed. 

Simply, without a visible police presence to act as a deterrent against crime, crime runs rampant, that is a fact. And the ones suffering are not just the victims themselves but we law abiding citizens as well, and it's for the simple reason that we do not want ourselves to become victims of crime.

And to that affect numerous other measures must be taken as well beside the obvious “refunding” of the police. America's streets must be taken back and made safe again...especially those in our major cities where most crimes do occur...as the hurt we all feel can only go on for just so long. In fact, New York City has seen its new mayor, former cop Eric Adams, vowing to put an end to New York's crime nightmare by reinstating the controversial, anti-crime street unit comprised of plainclothes police dressed as civilians.

Will this simple measure help to cut down criminal activity...maybe...but more importantly an overhaul of the district attorney's office...in all Democrat controlled cities not just in New York City...must take place to assure that criminals are not let back onto the streets unpunished...to make sure proper and binding charges are leveled against such individuals...as well as to make sure sentences adjudicated are served in full...as in "you do the crime you serve the time." And while this is being done the “race” card and the “Get Out of Jail Free” card must be permanently shredded at the same time BLM itself is rendered impotent in all matters of both a political and police nature. After all, much to BLM's chagrin, all victims lives matter, all police lives matter, and all white lives matter too. Case closed.

They’re Back: ‘Mounting By The Day’, ISIS Rapidly Regaining Territory In Areas Where Trump Wiped Them Out, Report Says
Pamela Geller / The Geller Report
 
Having been the target of multiple Islamic State assassination attempts, I can state unequivocally, President Trump vanquished this genocidal army. We were on the precipice with Obama – think of it – San Bernardino Christmas party, Pulse nightclub massacre, NYC Halloween jihad, Boston marathon bombing, Chattanooga Islamic attack and on and on. Obama and the Democrat party supported the jihadic doctrine (Obama blamed the First Amendment when our Ambassador and staff were slaughtered in an Islamic attack on our embassy in Benghazi.)

Those days are back. The party of jihad and Jew hatred has opened the door to the return of the jihad force.

‘Mounting By The Day’: ISIS Rapidly Regaining Territory In Areas Where Trump Wiped Them Out, Report Says

By Ryan Saavedra / DailyWire.com

US President Joe Biden speaks during a meeting with private sector CEOs in the State Dining Room of the White House in Washington, DC, on January 26, 2022. – Biden discussed the ways his Build Back Better agenda will grow the economy.

ADL Went Ahead and Changed Definition of 'Racism'
Rebecca Downs / Townhall Tipsheet
 
Over the past few days, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) has been getting quite the bit of attention. That's because they went and changed the definition of "racism" to make it more racism. They actually did. 

Their website page on "Racism" defines the concept as "The marginalization and/or oppression of people of color based on a socially constructed racial hierarchy that privileges white people." Yup, it singles out white people. Screenshots abound, as our friends at Twitchy highlighted and a simple search on Twitter of "ADL" shows.

The page says it was last updated in July 2020.

It's not just a matter of wokeness, but it's actually furthering antisemitism in its own way. 

It's almost as if the ADL went out of their way to create division rather than to seek healing from it, which is what one would think the organization aims to do. Read entire article and see tweets here.

NJ Gym Owner Who Refused to Close During Lockdown Has Finally Been Sentenced
Leah Barkoukis / Townhall Tipsheet

The defiant gym owner was fined $1.2 million for his noncompliance but he never backed down, going so far as to remove the gym’s doors so police couldn’t lock them.

“Thanks to all who joined in on our sentencing hearing. So many came that the server crashed. We got one year probation for the crime of taking our doors off to prevent government goons from locking us out of our gym. @theatilisgym is open and will remain open at any cost,” he said on Twitter.

Last year, Smith warned Gov. Phil Murphy the only way the Democrat would ever be successful in closing his gym's doors is when he's...Read more and see videos here.

Remembering the Challenger
By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots / Right Side Patriots Radio
 
On January 28, 1986 at 11:38 a.m. EST, the space shuttle Challenger lifted off from Cape Canaveral, Florida and the rest is history. 
 
At 5pm that afternoon our great President Ronald Reagan gave what I consider to be one of the greatest speeches in the history of our nation.
 
Today I'm remembering that fateful day as the explosion was clearly visible across parts of South Florida...I saw it...I'll never forget it nor will I ever forget President Reagan's most touching and heartfelt words...most especially his final words, "They touched the face of God."

YouTube Permanently Bans Dan Bongino                          Madeline Leesman / Townhall Tipsheet

 Earlier this month, as Landon covered, Bongino faced a YouTube suspension for violating the platform’s policy on spreading Wuhan coronavirus “misinformation.” Now, both Bongino’s YouTube channels have been removed from the platform. A spokesperson for YouTube told The Hill that Bongino will not be able to create a channel in the future. 

“The YouTube spokesperson confirmed that attempts to make new channels ‘associated with his name’ will also be denied,” The Hill’s report stated. 

This week, Bongino reportedly announced in a now-removed video that he was planning on leaving YouTube. At the time, he amassed nearly 900,000 subscribers on his main channel.

Nordic Country Declares Covid-19 No Longer 'Socially Critical Disease,' Drops All Restrictions
Leah Barkoukis / Townhall Tipsheet
 
As some countries double down on punishing the unvaccinated and continue with draconian Covid-19 restrictions, Denmark has taken the opposite approach, announcing Wednesday that all safety measures will be lifted next week.

Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said the Nordic country is reclassifying Covid-19; it will no longer be considered a “socially critical disease.” 

“Tonight we can shrug our shoulders and find the smile again. We have incredibly good news, we can now remove the last coronavirus restrictions in Denmark,” Frederiksen said at a press conference.

The Nordic country already loosened restrictions two weeks ago after a month-long lockdown, allowing cinemas and music venues to reopen, but some rules remain, including limited opening hours for restaurants and...Read more, see tweet and video here.

House Republicans Have a Plan to End Federal Vaccine Mandates
Leah Barkoukis / Townhall Tipsheet
 
A number of House Republicans have a plan for ending federal vaccine mandates, tying the issue to the next government funding measure. 

Texas Rep. Chip Roy is leading the charge, circulating a petition that urges colleagues to oppose the next funding bill if it includes money for federal vaccine mandates. 

In a letter, Republicans plan to tell House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., that their party is reaching another crossroads where they "must once again decide whether they will vote to fund a federal government that is enforcing tyrannical COVID-19 vaccine mandates on the American people."

Americans Notice a Very Problematic Part About Those 'Free' Covid Tests the Government Is Sending Out

As Americans begin receiving their “free” Covid-19 tests from the U.S. government, people have started to point out that their kits say they were Made in China.

“I almost choked when I saw that,” commented RedState’s Nick Arama. “It’s almost impossible to find a test at a pharmacy, you can only get them from the government in an ineffective time if you are sick and then they’re from China? The people Joe Biden hasn’t even held accountable in any way for what they’ve done regarding COVID? So is Joe Biden is making China rich with these “free tests?” This is just incredible.”

Fox News’s Bill Hemmer brought the issue up on Tuesday. While he praised the government and postal service’s speed in getting him the test kits, the four iHealth Labs Inc. kits said on the back of the box they were made in China. 

iHealth is a unit of the Chinese company Andon Health Co. Ltd., according to Reuters. It was awarded a $1.275 billion contract for COVID-19 rapid tests with the U.S. government on Jan. 13, according to the Defense.gov website. (Fox News)

Op-ed:
The Infamy That Was 2021...The Hope That Is 2022
 By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots / Right Side Patriots Radio  

…Now another issue that I felt helped to define the infamy that was 2021 was the situation at our southern border, a situation that had seen the successful immigration policies initiated by President Trump working to lower the number of illegals entering our country to the their lowest level in many years. But as we all know, in Democrats eyes, anything Trump that worked had to be removed post-haste, and in 2021 was done so by Biden's too quick to sign stack of executive orders piling up on the Resolute desk. a situation that had seen the successful immigration policies initiated by President Trump working to lower the number of illegals entering our country to the their lowest level in many years. 
 
So now as we enter 2022 we still are bearing witness to a southern border free-for-all as illegals continue to cross over in droves with many of them being covid infected. And yet Biden relishes in dispersing them throughout our country...after all he has to keep the pandemic ongoing... and does so by processing and then shipping them out via unannounced middle of the night flights to mostly red states
 
Ukraine urges calm, saying Russian invasion not imminent
AP/Andriy Dubchak /  Associated Press

Ukraine’s leaders sought to reassure the nation that a feared invasion from neighboring Russia was not imminent, even as they acknowledged the threat is real and prepared to accept a shipment of American military equipment Tuesday to shore up their defenses.

Russia has denied it is planning an assault, but it has massed an estimated 100,000 troops near Ukraine in recent weeks, leading the United States and its NATO allies to rush to prepare for a possible war.

Several rounds of high stakes diplomacy have failed to yield any breakthroughs, and this week tensions escalated further.

NATO said it was bolstering its deterrence in the Baltic Sea region, and the U.S. ordered 8,500 troops on higher alert to potentially deploy to Europe as part of an alliance “response force” if necessary.

The State Department has ordered the families of all American personnel at the U.S. Embassy in Kyiv to leave the country, and it said that nonessential embassy staff could leave. Britain said it, too, was withdrawing some diplomats and dependents from its embassy.

Joe Biden Snaps, Calls Reporter 'Stupid Son of a Bitch'
Spencer Brown / Townhall.com

In a major hot mic gaffe for President Biden on Monday, the leader of the free world got caught calling Fox News' Peter Doocy a "stupid son of a bitch."

The comment from Biden came after the official White House video feed on YouTube had been cut, but not before C-SPAN's feed ended. Following Biden's opening remarks, White House handlers were trying to shoo members of the press corps out of the room when Doocy shouted his questions: "Will you take questions on inflation? Do you think inflation is a political liability in the midterms?"

Biden, seemingly not aware that his mic was still on and being fed out to broadcast networks including C-SPAN, responded with "What a stupid son of a bitch." 

The president's words Monday are a far cry from what Biden promised on day one of his presidency just more than one year ago. "I am not joking when I say this, if you are ever working with me and I hear you treat another colleague with disrespect...talk down to someone, I promise you I will fire you on the spot," Biden pledged. "On the spot. No ifs, ands, or buts," he emphasized. Read more, see tweets and videos here.
