Beth Van Duyne, Texas Republican, will run a full-page ad in the New York Post on Tuesday urging law enforcement officers that it’s “time to escape New York and move to Texas.” “Every New York Republican understands these courageous officers are put in impossible, life-threatening circumstances and I’m sure they want what is best for them — which may be to relocate to a law and order state...

New York Mayor Ed Koch had a commonsense approach to hiring first responders, and it made a lifelong impression on me when I first heard it maybe 40 years ago. "I don’t care what sex a firefighter is," Mayor Koch said all those years ago, "as long as they can carry a 200 pound Mayor out of a burning building." When it comes to dangerous jobs — first responders, soldiers, sailors, pilots, industrial workers, etc. — every other consideration must come in second to the question of whether or not this particular applicant has the physical and mental stamina to...

Yes this video is 4 months old but I just came across it. A white officer saves a black baby from chocking to death at traffic stop.

Chip Roy (R-TX) leveled his complaints about the Biden administration and argued his Republican colleagues should challenge President Joe Biden to set the stage for former President Donald Trump’s win in the fall.

And there’s — now everyone wants the speaker’s head. I don’t know where you stand on that. But to add insult to injury, then, the president...
