Tina Trent

Tina Trent writes about crime and policing, political radicals, social service programs, and academia. She has published several reports for America’s Survival and helped the late Larry Grathwohl release a new edition of his 1976 memoir, "Bringing Down America: An FBI Informer with the Weathermen," an account of his time infiltrating the Weather Underground. Dr. Trent received a doctorate from the Institute for Women’s Studies of Emory University, where she wrote about the devastating impact of social justice movements on criminal law under the tutelage of conservative, pro-life scholar Elizabeth Fox-Genovese. Dr. Trent spent more than a decade working in Atlanta’s worst neighborhoods, providing social services to refugees, troubled families, and crime victims. There, she witnessed the destruction of families by the poverty industry, an experience she describes as: “the reason I’m now a practicing Catholic and social conservative.” Tina lives with her husband on a farm in North Georgia. She blogs about crime and politics at tinatrent.com.

Amazon jobs or religious and political Freedom: pick one

Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal (R) with First Lady Sandra Deal (L) Last week, departing Georgia Governor Nathan Deal paraphrased Mark 8:36 in another missive lobbed at the Republican candidates vying for his post.

Hugh Hefner dead at 91

Hugh Hefner died yesterday. Good riddance. Hefner led a so-called “sexual revolution” that resulted in untold millions of broken families, rolling epidemics of life-damaging and life-ending sexually transmitted diseases, and the normalization of drug and alcohol abuse, risky premarital and extra-marital sex, and the abortion culture.

Liberals are playing a dangerous and historically ignorant game by demonizing conservatives

I count among my good friends from college several liberals and leftists. Mostly, we have never talked about my transition from the Left to the Right. This surprises me because I am the one person among them who actually works in politics. I had assumed that, as friends, they would at least be curious to know why I had dramatically changed my mind about core certainties guiding my career and my morality. I would be curious if they did the same. I would certainly ask them about it.

They’re only 100 percent wrong

National Review is so consumed by Trump-hate that it has now hired a Tocqueville-aping French philosopher to come up with entirely new ways to explain why Trump spells the end of everything sacred to America.

New York Times v. Good America

Nothing says “cultural divide” quite as succinctly as the differences in media coverage of natural disasters. Liberals see every glass half-empty. When natural disasters occur, they buy themselves $7 cold-drip coffees at industrial-chic coffee houses and bang away indignantly on their expensive laptops about greedy and evil American bourgeois not caring if poor people drown

RINOs bash Trump over Charlottesville response

The Left--and many in the media, along with the usual sycophants at National Review--purport to be outraged that President Trump had the temerity to call out all the violence perpetrated in Charlottesville instead of calling out only the white-nationalist marchers.

How Bush, Obama, and Holder helped break Mexican justice

This is Mexico today, the New York Times reports:
Mexico is reaching its deadliest point in decades. Even with more than 100,000 deaths, 30,000 people missing and billions of dollars tossed into the furnace of Mexico's decade-long fight against organized crime, the flames have not died down. By some measures, they are only getting worse.

Dear John McCain

I’m no financial expert. But I’m one heck of a well-informed consumer. And as a former healthcare lobbyist and someone who worked several jobs serving poor, disabled, immigrant, and underclass populations, I also know a lot about the many, many ways we deliver medical care to people who can’t afford to pay for it.

Rebecca Solnit achieves peak oppression

Writer Rebecca Solnit is the awful sort of virtue-signaling leftist woman whom one hopes never to meet, not on a sidewalk, not in an airplane terminal, not on a city park trail, not with a cat, not in a hat, though all of these scenarios are, as she informs us rather helpfully, possible if you live in the wrong kind of city, or even pass through it briefly.

Manhattan liberals helped make a cop-killer
