Upwards of 2,500 NYPD officers turned
in their badges in 2023 amid concerning trend

Budget cut-bolstered attrition set the Big Apple up for a “dramatic turn for the worse” as police officers have turned in their badges in staggering numbers. A microcosm of the managed decline seen at the national level, New York City Mayor Eric Adams’ (D) succession to Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) in putting leftist agendas ahead of basic safety and operations measurably set the city back decades. As resources were reallocated to accommodate the out-of-control influx of illegal aliens, disenchanted and disgruntled members of the NYPD continued resigning in droves, even as they were short of the requirements to receive full pensions, according to the NYPD pension data.

2500? We have no more than two deputies on the road after dark, and its a huge county. They mostly stay to the area where they get the most calls, so we rarely see one. So how do we survive without them? Easy. We respect each others property, we dont start trouble, and we stay armed. And everyone knows it.

I’m suspecting martial law shortly. Either that, or total chaos. The level of lawlessness we’re seeing, coupled with non-integrated “immigrants,” is unsustainable to our country.

As more and more cops leave due to retirement of just because they are tired of getting stabbed in the back, things will descend into chaos. The thugs know they likely won't get hard time, and the city is full of immigrants who will eventually take what they want after the taxpayers are tired of paying for their room and board. There is no going back.

The cops with honor and integrity resigned, leaving behind the rest who stand around and watch crimes take place on every street, in every store. The streets and subways are now jungles and you don't dare stop at a light or they grab your car at gunpoint. There is no good reason to go there.

That's the plan. The same plan for every democratic run city. When enough cops leave, the cities turn into total chaos and anarchy reigns. That's when the communist democrats plan B kicks into effect. The military takes over the streets and we will then transition to a police state. With that, all of your rights and freedoms are gone. Welcome to Cuba, Venezuela and every other police state. Wake up already.

Would you want to be a police officer when you can be found personally liable for actions taken in a split second, or even put in jail for years, or life. Or in the case Derek Chauvin, framed by authorities and sent to 20 plus years in prison, then stabbed while there. No, I think most people would pass on the opportunity to be a police officer today.

Milei was visibly emotional when he met Rabbi Jacobson at the entrance of the site, and they went together to pray at the grave.

A secretive surveillance initiative, managed by the White House, grants law enforcement agencies unprecedented access to trillions of American phone records, raising significant privacy and legal concerns. A Wired investigation has revealed a secret White House surveillance program that permits federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies to access an extensive array of U.S. phone records. Known as Data Analytical Services (DAS), this program functions in partnership with telecom giant AT&T, offering a comprehensive analysis of American call records to law enforcement agencies at all levels of government.

The American dream holds that every citizen of the United States has a fair opportunity to achieve equal measures of success and prosperity through hard work, determination, and initiative. Intergenerational progress then ensures succeeding generations not only share in that success but build on it and will be better off than their parents. Two polls run counter to that perceived wisdom with more Americans despairing their hard work will deliver less and their children will not be better off than their forebears. The Wall Street Journal asked respondents whether they believe “the American Dream — that if you work hard you’ll get ahead — still holds true.”

Holocaust-2 that broke out in Israel on October 7 may suddenly have a positive impact on many left-liberal American Jews. The recent tragic events will cause an upheaval in liberal heads and shift their political mindset to the right: the American Jews will wise up, move away from a liberal worldview, and become more conservative. I will try to explain this seemingly unexpected prediction. From the 8th century B.C. to the middle of the last century, Jews have been persecuted and periodically expelled. Unlike many other peoples, who sometimes were also persecuted by their neighbors, the Jews until 1948 did not have their own country,

Overnight stays by migrants have become common at the airport, but in recent weeks the number has drastically risen. On Thursday, a bus dropped off dozens of immigrants at Terminal two, Fox 5 reported. Some of them reportedly arrived several hours or days before their scheduled flights, as local organizations have said that they believe that the people were transported there after being processed by Border Patrol.

Of course, part of the reason they're failing so badly is because people know how much more they've had to pay for everything, and they see the high interest rates. Young people who would like to buy a home can't even do so in the current economy. But they're still trying to sell this to us, such as by claiming Thanksgiving was cheaper this year.

During the discussion, Stone essentially argued that the 2020 election could have been stolen. Here’s how it came up. At one point in the discussion, they were discussing the COVID vaccines and the pandemic, and Stone argued that Biden was being authoritarian with his vaccine mandates. “That's one form of it,” Maher replied. "I would say the form that Trump is threatening us with is even worse." “Which is what?” Stone asked.

Like Longfellow’s little girl, who had a little curl right in the middle of her forehead, sometimes ad agencies are very good indeed, and sometimes they’re horrid. When they’re good, it’s worth taking note because, as with all media, those short videos have a disproportionate effect on the American psyche. In the case of Chevy’s holiday ad, that effect can only be good. When I grew up in the 1960s and 1970s, in the pre-streaming age, you watched ads whether or not you wanted to. These years were the heydays of jingles and slogans. Indeed, for us, jingles were a family tradition.

Silent about the 1,200-1,400 Jews who were raped, mutilated, and murdered. Silent about the thousands of Jews who were injured. Silent about the hundreds of Jews taken hostage. Not. One. Word. Many have asked Spielberg to say something…anything…but have been met with (yes) silence.
