In the Washington Examiner, Anna Giaritelli reports the horror that Salvadoran refugees face, leaving their home country to escape the terrors of MS-13, only to find the gang active right here in the United States. Giaritelli details the gang’s activities in Northern Virginia, but MS-13 has rooted itself in communities all across America. She writes: […]
President Donald Trump Must Extinguish Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13)
Originally posted on August 14, 2018. Writing at The Federalist, Jacob Perry takes media outlets like Vox and ProPublica to task for defending the likes of MS-13. I have written many times about the MS-13 scourge (for instance here, here, here, and here). MS-13, and all violent gangs like it, must be extinguished in America. […]
Big Government and Globalism: Small Town America in Despair
Small-towns are the casualties of globalism. Industries have been shuttered. Big government, meaning both sides of the aisle, have failed America. Just take a look around on your next road trip.

President Trump Can Wipe America’s Streets Clean of MS-13
When he was campaigning for office, President Trump made a promise to the American people to attack violent street gangs like MS-13.

The Government Blob Blows $51 Billion
Little or no progress has been made on the war on drugs since its launch around 1970. Despite annual spending of about $51 billion, here are discouraging statistics from the government’s drugabuse.org website: Illicit drug use in the United States has been increasing.

The One Guy Accountable
President Obama at the memorial service for five dead policemen in Dallas: “We refuse to fund drug treatment and mental health programs.” Francis Menton responds in the Manhattan Contrarian: Huh? You sure wouldn’t get that impression about “drug treatment programs” from reading the National Drug Control Budget from your Office of National Drug Control Policy. […]
MS-13 in Boston
I find it hard to believe President Trump would put up with MS-13. The Boston Globe reports that last week more than 400 officers fanned out across Boston, charging 56 people in crimes related to the violent street gang, MS-13.
