Foreign policy expert Joseph Biden magnanimously offered US made anti-personnel mines to Ukraine this week to aid in its defense. These devices are outlawed in many counties, including Ukraine itself, by a treaty agreed upon in 1997.
There is little doubt that Donald Trump is the boss. His statements and mannerisms exude command. But now he is taking it to another level. He correctly feels that he was played by some people in his last administration. Clearly certain government officials were not on board with the Trump plan in 2017-2021.
When the NYPD contract with ShotSpotter was announced in 2015, I scoffed. A technology that uses an array of very sensitive microphones to triangulate the noise of gunfire seemed like something that would not work well and would not have much of a payoff if it did.
So now comes word that Viktor Bout, the so-called “Merchant of Death” Russian arms dealer, is back to selling arms to America’s enemies after being traded by the Biden administration to Putin for WNBA player Brittney Griner. Who’da thunk it?
Another day — another resignation of a top government official here in NYC. At this rate, we’re going to be down to the Mayor and the dog-catcher.
No matter what your opinion on the Eric Adams criminal case, the most significant aspect of the situation lies with the Department of Justice itself. That’s saying a lot. The mayor of the country’s biggest city has never been arrested before last week. As we see top aides like David Banks, Philip Banks, and Edward Caban resigning, it seems like Adams position as Mayor is becoming less tenable. But the bigger story is our lack of faith in the federal justice system.
So what’s behind the indictment of New York City’s Mayor Eric Adams? Biden administration-vindictiveness? Or diligent anti-corruption enforcement?
Gang, join us for an update from retired NYPD Detective Derek Parker, formerly of the NYPD Rap Intel unit, on what’s REALLY going on with the Diddy case.
Just to highlight the issue, we’re rerunning a post from last week that took a cop’s-eye look at what Donald Trump’s second would-be assassin, Ryan Routh, might have been planning for after the event.
This week we learned more about the Trump campaign hack by Iranian operatives. The media has only given this passing coverage, and not a peep from the Biden/Harris Administration. However, his story mirrors another narrative that we have been hearing about for almost a decade.
More scare tactics to justify spending money that we don’t have. Why do these people feel the need to drive our country into the ground?
Another politician who has no concept of constitutional rights. No wonder they want to get rid of free speech. #Justice #PoliticalNews

There were many awful media takes in 2024, but @Morning_Joe saying in March of 2024 that Joe Biden 2024 was the best version of Joe he’d ever seen is my take for the worst of all. Yours? Share your nominees below.
10 years ago, Detectives Ramos & Liu from the @NYPD84Pct were targeted for their blue uniforms & were assassinated because of a man’s hatred for police. Today, we remember our two fallen detectives who were killed while protecting NYers & continue our vow to #NeverForget.
