Preferential Protection: Baltimore’s Double Standard on School Security

- by Michael Phillips - Leave a Comment

A new Project Baltimore investigation by Chris Papst exposes a troubling double standard in Baltimore City Schools: while school police are forced to disarm during instructional hours, leaving students without armed protection, the district’s CEO toured schools surrounded by armed officers. Parents call it “preferential protection”—safety for leaders, but not for kids.

Trump Was Right to Step In on D.C. Crime — But Federal Agents Don’t Get a Free Pass to Trample Rights

- by Michael Phillips - Leave a Comment

Washington, D.C. is suffering from rising crime and lawlessness, prompting President Trump to intervene for restoration of order. However, federal actions must not violate the Fourth Amendment or intimidate citizens. True leadership targets criminals while ensuring accountability and upholding liberties. Safety should not come at the expense of individual freedoms.

- by Michael Phillips - Leave a Comment

Maryland’s opioid crisis persists despite a reported 38% decline in overdose deaths from 2023 to 2024. Fentanyl remains the primary cause, with Baltimore leading in overdose rates. Demographics show disproportionate impacts among males and Black individuals. Effective solutions require addressing trafficking, law enforcement, and root causes of addiction beyond harm reduction efforts.

Maryland’s School Safety Theater: Layers of Bureaucracy, Little Real Protection

- by Michael Phillips - Leave a Comment

Maryland leaders claim our schools are “prepared” for mass shootings, but the truth is far less reassuring. Instead of confronting the hard realities of mental illness, over-medication, and the collapse of family structure, Annapolis hides behind trauma-informed drills, AI scanners, and endless regulations. Parents don’t want more safety theater — they want real security, real accountability, and the courage to admit that Maryland’s kids are still at risk.

The Crime Data Mirage: Why Baltimore and D.C.’s “Declining” Numbers Don’t Tell the Whole Story

- by Michael Phillips - Leave a Comment

City leaders in Washington, D.C. and Baltimore proudly point to “declining crime numbers,” but behind the stats lies a dangerous truth. Murders misclassified as “accidents,” sex crimes omitted from reports, and juvenile offenders repeatedly released through a revolving door justice system create the illusion of progress while leaving communities exposed. The numbers may look good on paper, but residents know the streets tell a very different story.
