Donald Trump has announced that he’s reopening Alcatraz as a federal prison for the worst of the worst in America. I couldn’t be more delighted, because it’s a wonderful idea at both practical and symbolic levels. Trump made the announcement on Truth Social:It’s to be hoped that many of the new residents will be the same Tren de Aragua and MS-13 terrorists that the leftists insist remain on American soil. The media grimly reported the news, although they hastened to add that it won’t be easy to turn the old site into a modern prison. AP is representative of this approach to reporting:

Good real estate for it, but bad idea. Cheaper to execute those on death row, to free up room for other criminals. But the incarceration and judicial industry wouldn't like that.

It's the perfect prison, even without renovation. Dump the dirty filth there, leave the doors open and don't hire any security. Airdrop food once a month and let the animals fight over it. Don't leave anything there that floats and let them try to swim away. The population of Great Whites in the area can serve as the security and waste disposal system.

As the writer notes, if anyone can get Alcatraz up and running, on budget and on time, it's Donald J. Trump. Whether it's patrolling and protecting our borders, building a wall to keep criminals out of the US, or rebuilding a prison to keep the worst criminals away from the rest of society, middle America already knows what side dems, commies, Marxists and the MSM will be on. With the left, it's never about what middle America needs or deserves. It's always about prioritizing the "rights" of those who least respect or care about the rights of others.

There's no problem with Alcatraz being a National Historic Landmark and a working institution. I think most of the government buildings in downtown Washington fit that category, certainly the White House and Capitol Building. And yes, it is the symbology of the building that makes such an interesting project.

It's a scenic island. Decent climate, if a little on the cool side. I'll bet the cells are bigger too. But you know Governor Smiley will oppose it, denying Californians not just the added security of more cells on a remote, escape-proof island , but millions of dollars in income from relatively good jobs.

Dumb idea: 1. It’s on a tiny island. It would be really expensive to expand. 2. It’s very expensive to maintain. That’s why it was shut down. 3. It currently makes money as a tourist attraction. 4. You’d have local lefties breaking them out.

I think a better place would be San Clemente Island, 50 miles west of San Diego. It is currently used by the Navy as a target for ship and aircraft bombardment practice. Plenty of room and the terrorist gangsters would keep busy dodging all that firepower. A long swim to civilization. MAGA!

When I was in the Navy I got stationed on my first shore duty command in the Bay Area of California. This was a few years after Pete Wilson became governor, and Slick Willey Clinton became my C-in-C in the mid 90s. One of my favorite tourist attractions to go to was Alcatraz. It did house the worst of the worst including guys like Al Capone, Whitey Bulger and Jimmy Walnuts. Since I know the history of the place I agree with everyone especially #18 who say that the idea is ridiculous. #9 is right GITMO would be a far better option.

Former President Joe Biden’s failed floating Gaza pier plan left 62 US personnel injured, one service member dead and caused at least $31 million in damage to military equipment, according to a scathing Pentagon watchdog report that found the Army and Navy failed to properly plan, train for, prepare for and coordinate the mission. The project, which Biden announced during his 2024 State of the Union address amid mounting protests on the left over Israel’s war against Hamas, sought to deliver humanitarian aid to the terrorist-controlled enclave —

Educayshun has become mere propaganda at hundreds of American schools and universities. In fact, Defending Education has identified a staggering $373 million in DEI funding since 2016 across more than a hundred institutions of higher learning. Defending Ed investigated 130 colleges and universities across 44 states and Washington, D.C. to date, identifying 281 diversity, equity, and inclusion funds (DEI). These include scholarships and programs based around race and sexual “identity.” Defending Ed warned that, while many universities and colleges have now officially ended DEI programs under Trump administration pressure, in many cases, the programs have simply been renamed or gone underground for the time being.
