This country is not the same place that it was ten years ago. In fact, it is not even close to the same place that it was five years ago. Violent crime is out of control in many of our major cities, and there aren’t enough police to handle it all. So in many cases a police officer literally never shows up when someone reports a serious crime.
Unfortunately, the number of serious crimes just keeps going up. In 2020, we witnessed the worst spike in violent crime in U.S. history, but 2021 was supposed to be a year when rates of violent crime started going back down. Of course that didn’t happen, and now 2022 is on pace to be even worse than either 2020 or 2021…
Violent crimes are on the rise in six of America’s major cities and set to outpace the already historic levels of 2021 violent crime.
Baltimore, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., Atlanta, and New York City are all on pace to break their 2021 levels of violent crime halfway through this year, with the nation’s largest city leading the group, according to crime data reviewed by Fox News.
At this point, violent crime is up 25.8 percent in New York City compared to the first half of last year.
That is staggering.
Of course New York City still has a way to go before it gets as bad as Chicago.
In the Windy City, there are hundreds of thousands of “high-priority emergency service calls” each year, and last year there were no police available to respond to those calls 52 percent of the time…
New data uncovered by Wirepoints through public records requests to the Chicago Police Department (CPD) reveal that in 2021 there were 406,829 incidents of high-priority emergency service calls for which there were no police available to respond.
That was 52 percent of the 788,000 high-priority 911 service calls dispatched in 2021.
So if you are the victim of a violent crime in Chicago, your odds of having a police officer available to help you are about the same as guessing a coin flip correctly.
The following is a partial list of “high-priority emergency service calls” for which no police officer was available in 2021…
- 14,955 – assaults in progress.
- 17,828 – batteries in progress.
- 16,350 – person with a gun.
- 5,210 – person with a knife.
- 12,787 – shots fired (reports from people, not the city’s automated “Shotspotter”)
- 1,352 – person shot.
- 887 – person stabbed.
- 14,265 – domestic battery.
Despite numbers such as these, there are lots of people out there that are relentlessly calling for the police to be “defunded”.
Do they want total anarchy?
Because that is what would happen.
Our streets are already bad enough. As you can see from this video, police in Chicago are having a really difficult time even protecting themselves at this point.
But Chicago actually doesn’t have the highest murder rate in the nation.
That honor goes to New Orleans…
It’s no secret that New Orleans struggles with violent crime, but new statistics paint a grim picture of the Crescent City being on pace to be the murder capital of the United States if trends don’t change in 2022.
According to data from AH Datalytics, compiled using the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) program, New Orleans has a per capita year-to-date homicide rate of 72 per 100,000 residents. The next three U.S. cities behind New Orleans are Birmingham with a per capita homicide rate of 59 per 100,000 residents and Baltimore and St. Louis, each with a per capita homicide rate of 58 per 100,000 residents.
So far this year, the murder rate in New Orleans is up 44 percent.
But the corporate media is trying to convince us that all of this is perfectly “normal”, aren’t they?
Do you believe them?
One man that will never be fooled is World War II veteran Carl Spurlin Deke. He just turned 100 years old on June 29th, and when he was interviewed by a local news outlet he boldly declared that the U.S. “is going to hell in a handbasket”…
Deke’s gratitude for his life quickly turned into an emotional confession about his concern about the entitlement and ungrateful grievance erupting from younger generations saying, “People don’t realize what they have. They b*tch about it. And then nowadays, I am so upset because the things we did, the things we fought for, and the boys that died for it, it’s all going down the drain.” Deke began weeping as he added “Our country is going to hell in a handbasket. We haven’t got the country we had when I was raised, not at all.”
The 100-year-old WWII vet cried for those growing up in America today saying, “Nobody will have the opportunity I had. It’s just not the same. That’s not what our boys, that’s not what they died for.”
Sadly, he is 100 percent correct.
We are in an advanced state of decline, and it is getting worse with each passing day.
If things are this bad now, what will this country look like once economic conditions deteriorate quite a bit more?
Previous generations of young Americans were equipped to handle adversity. This generation of young Americans is not.
The thin veneer of civilization that we all used to be able to take for granted is steadily disappearing, and our society is evolving into a horror show that would have been unrecognizable to previous generations.
If we would have done things differently, we could have gotten much different results. Our choices have consequences, and now most of our major cities are being transformed into crime-infested hellholes right in front of our eyes.

What Would You Do If Pharmacies Couldn’t Provide You With Crucial Medications or Antibiotics?
The medication supply chain from China and India is more fragile than ever since Covid. The US is not equipped to handle our pharmaceutical needs. We’ve already seen shortages with antibiotics and other medications in recent months and pharmaceutical challenges are becoming more frequent today.
Our partners at Jase Medical offer a simple solution for Americans to be prepared in case things go south. Their “Jase Case” gives Americans emergency antibiotics they can store away while their “Jase Daily” offers a wide array of prescription drugs to treat the ailments most common to Americans.
They do this through a process that embraces medical freedom. Their secure online form allows board-certified physicians to prescribe the needed drugs. They are then delivered directly to the customer from their pharmacy network. The physicians are available to answer treatment related questions.
Overwhelmed Police Seem Powerless to Stop It?
As an old timer and retired police supervisor who did over three decades in Bullet Alley for a good size PO-lice department in Southern California, I can assure you that the police are not powerless to stop it. They are being kept from stopping it by the S-head politicians and police department command officers who have agendas of their own that take precedence over taking care of business.
Directing your attention to the radical Lefty Loons who have been marching in front of the SCOTUS justice residences in clear violation of Title 18-1507, you have a commie US Attorney General who refuses to sic law enforcement on the perps. In the Uvalde, TX school massacre you have an inept and cowardly police supervisor who directly interfered with officers who had been trained to deal with situations just like that.
Take it easy on the good street cops who lay it on the line everyday to keep the public safe. Direct your ire where it belongs, at the knucklehead politicians in and out of uniform who stand in the way of good cops everywhere. Sadly, we are seeing those good cops retiring early or seeking other employment because they are as fed up as you are with all the BS.
It’s not just the S-head politicians and police department command officers who could stop it. For five years we’ve watched the police officer on the street ACCEPT stand-down orders while conservatives were cattle-herded into assault lines and beaten by democrat militias. No respectable LEO would have accepted those orders; yet we saw it time and again from coast to coast. Until the frontline police officers stand up for themselves, no one is coming to their assistance.
Really not the police who can’t stop it – it’s the courts. Nobody goes to jail and if they do go to jail, they don’t stay there. Overtime, the streets are just saturated with criminals, when the criminal element should be shrinking.
Nonsense, the Police are not being allowed to stop it by the Communists in Government, the Media and NGOs. Back the Police up and they will be able to stop it in short order. In the 1990s when NYC was experiencing over 2100 murders a year, Giuliani and Police Commissioner Bratton said stop it and we will back you. The cops crushed crime they drove murders down from 2258 in 1992 to under 300, every crime was driven down, until after twenty years of success, the morons forget how bad crime was and voted in Bill Duh Blasio (Warren Wilhelm) who loved criminals and crime and stopped the Police from enforcing the law and then along with disgraced pervert Governor Andrew Cuomo push through laws that let criminals out of jail without bail. George Soros paid for Communists to run for District Attorneys offices and got them in. They backed the BLM rioter and destroyed Law, order and Safety. This could all be stopped within months if they would allow the Police to do their job and backed them up.
Powerless police, or politicized police?
It’s time for vigilante action against predators.
Track them down, take them out.
Names & locations leaked from police.
Wrong. They could stop it. Just watch how quickly they stop any decent person who tries to defend themselves against the blue haired Communist punks. The Cops jump right in at that point. Observe how quickly they showed up in force to ensure compliance with covid or mask requirements. How many Churches did they close down and how many elderly people did they assault for some local ordinance? The Cops are there to protect the Government, not you. They have become political enforcers and not at all interested in keeping the peace.
Run the crazed, low-life bastards over when they’re beating the hell out of your car and trying to haul you out of it & kill you – YOU go to jail. Protect your property by standing on your porch or in front of your house holding a legally owned firearm – YOU go to jail.
The entire country is infested with left-wing mayors, judges, and DA’s – many we now know are paid by Soros and other globalist America-hating scumbags. It’s a methodically orchestrated element of their “Great Reset”.
When there’s no food, the cities will empty out, then it’ll be on.
All police need to go on a SICK-OUT
Let the liberal urban areas burn to the ground
only then can we rebuild
