If You Live With Traveling the Sidewalks Daily, Hochul’s New York Is the Problem

Image
  If You Live With Traveling the Sidewalks Daily, Hochul’s New York Is the Problem New York’s government would like you to experience the city as a chart. The chart says historic-low shootings. The chart says 305 to 309 murders in 2025, about 3.6 to 3.7 per 100,000, a hair under the national rate. The chart says safest big city. Repeat it from Albany and City Hall often enough, and the person who locked the toothpaste, skipped a late train, or watched a fight on a platform is supposed to apologize for noticing. That is not public safety. That is a press operation. People do not live in per-capita rates. They live in density. They live in a closed subway car they cannot step off. They live on sidewalks where disorder is not a rare tragedy. It is the weather. Felony assaults in New York City were about 29,800 in 2025 — roughly 97 for every murder — and still about 44 percent above 2019. The city’s violent-crime rate has sat in the mid-600s per 100,000 against a national figure in...

Florida Did What Adults Do: It Put the Constitution First

  The Elephant’s Trumpet Opinion Florida Did What Adults Do: It Put the Constitution First Governor Ron DeSantis signed HB 1471 into law, and Florida just reminded the rest of the country what actual governance looks like. The legislation does something simple and long overdue: it tells Florida courts they may not apply or enforce foreign or religious legal systems—including Sharia—when those systems collide with constitutional rights. It also blocks foreign judgments and contracts designed to route around American protections. That is not “bigotry.” That is the bare minimum requirement of a sovereign state that intends to remain one. One legal system. One Constitution. No parallel codes. No quiet importation of rules that treat women as lesser, that normalize unequal testimony, or that subordinate individual rights to religious or tribal authority. Florida said the quiet part out loud and then put it in statute. Good. Anyone clutching pearls over this either does not understa...

The Most Expensive Education I've Ever Purchased

The Most Expensive Education I've Ever Purchased I've spent thousands of dollars learning what most people only debate about online. Not through courses. Not through theory. Through building. Over the last several months I've created dozens of applications across cybersecurity, business intelligence, creator tools, AI governance, pet advocacy, fishing education, and civic engagement. The result? ✅ 43 consecutive days building ✅ Top 2.7% on Replit ✅ 4,600+ checkpoints ✅ 9.9 Replit Power Ranking I've made mistakes. I've overspent. I've learned painful lessons about AI costs, product development, customer acquisition, and execution. But I've also learned something valuable: The people who will win in the AI era won't be the loudest voices. They'll be the builders. If you want to see what persistence looks like in real time, check out my growing portfolio: 🔗 https://replit.com/@RussellNomer And if you're ready to start building your own ideas: 🚀 ht...

The Isolationist Betrayal: How Joe Kent, Tucker Carlson, and Candace Owens Are Undermining Trump’s America First Agenda with Iran Lies and Anti-Israel Conspiracies

The Isolationist Betrayal: How Joe Kent, Tucker Carlson, and Candace Owens Are Undermining Trump’s America First Agenda with Iran Lies and Anti-Israel Conspiracies ElephantsTrumpet.us | March 19, 2026 President Donald J. Trump didn’t hesitate. On February 28, 2026, he launched Operation Epic Fury alongside Israel to smash Iran’s nuclear breakout, annihilate its missile program, and dismantle the terrorist proxies that have killed Americans for decades. The strikes were preemptive self-defense against a regime racing toward nukes, arming Houthis and Hezbollah, and plotting direct hits on U.S. forces. Iran retaliated by killing American troops and lobbing missiles at our bases and allies. Trump acted like the wartime leader he is—maximum pressure, no apologies. Enter the isolationist trio: former NCTC Director Joe Kent, podcaster Tucker Carlson, and commentator Candace Owens. In lockstep, they’ve spent the last week peddling the same tired script: “No imminent threat.” “Israel forced us ...

Congress Plays by Its Own Rules: $200 “Slap on the Wrist” for Insider Trading While Democrats Charge $25,000–$310,000 a Plate to Dine with Hakeem Jeffries

Congress Plays by Its Own Rules: $200 “Slap on the Wrist” for Insider Trading While Democrats Charge $25,000–$310,000 a Plate to Dine with Hakeem Jeffries   By Russell Nomer  The Elephant’s Trumpet    March 4, 2026  WASHINGTON — While House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries lectures the nation about “preemptive” military action and pushes War Powers Resolutions that signal weakness to our enemies, ordinary Americans are left asking a simple question: Who holds these people accountable?  The answer, unfortunately, is almost no one.  Congress has no meaningful “insider threat” program for its own elected members. Leaks, sabotage, or foreign influence? Sure, the executive branch has task forces and monitoring for bureaucrats. But for the men and women who write the laws, control the purse strings, and shape America’s military posture? Their “accountability” is a self-policing ethics committee, the Speech or Debate Clause that shields almost everything they ...
