We hope that today’s “IS IT TRUE” will provoke honest and open dialogue concerning issues that we, as responsible citizens of this community, need to address in a rational and responsible way?

We understand that sometimes people don’t always agree and discussions may become a little heated.  The use of offensive language, insults against commenters will not be tolerated and will be removed from our site.
IS IT TRUE that City Council President Alex Burton is floating the idea of moving  $250,000 from the Police Department budget into the Affordable Housing Trust Fund? …that President Burton also wants to take $250,000 from the Public Safety Tax Revenue fund and put it back in the Evansville Police Department budget? …we hope that this idea doesn’t turn out to be just another political “Bait And Switch” move?
IS IT TRUE that 5th Ward City Councilman Justin Elpers’s response to President Burton’s idea was extremely pointed? …that Mr. Elpers told Mr. Burton; “That your idea suggesting to re-appropriate money that intended for the Police Department to the Affordable Housing Fund Trust Fund is insane”?  …Elpers also commented “NO WAY”?
IS IT TRUE it seems like every day we are reading about murders, robberies, shootings, stabbings, and other lawless acts of violence in Evansville proper?  …many people feel it’s time that our elected officials look for additional ways to increase the Evansville Police Department budget in the order to put more boots on the ground?
IS IT TRUE that many law-abiding citizens are getting distressed over the number of shootings. murders, robberies, stabbings, and beatings that are happening in Evansville on a daily basis? …all we can say is thank goodness that we have outstanding law enforcement professionals that quickly apprehended the lawless thugs and throw them in the clinker?
IS IT TRUE that members of law enforcement officers are human and they make mistakes. …we know that the overwhelming majority members of law enforcement understand that carrying a badge carries a major responsibility and understands when to use force and when to use restraint? …we believe that they also understand that they know what one bad decision will unleash?  …we support members of law enforcement that are professional, dedicated, honest, caring, and enforce the law without prejudice? …those in law enforcement that don’t display the above traits should look for employment elsewhere?
IS IT TRUE the “Defund the Police” movement has been a great thing for companies that manufacture and sell guns?…3 million guns have been purchased by private citizens since March?…half of those sales happened during the last several months after protesters hit the streets and allow themselves to become a human shield for anarchists who are determined to loot businesses and burn down buildings?…the rate at which the FBI is currently doing background checks on private gun purchases is 176,000 per day?
IS IT TRUE that It’s obvious that outside groups and agitators are attempting to foment lawlessness and unrest to advance their own objectives to cause anarchy in America?  …we are a nation born of the revolutionary spirit of protest, coupling expressions of grievances against injustice with the desire to be free?  …we deplore the theft, looting, and the burning of businesses and historical landmarks caused by the random acts of lawless anarchists and thugs? …we believe that these lawless thugs should be arrested and their asses should be thrown in jail?
IS IT TRUE that ever since the “defund the police” movement discussions have taken hold in some large American cities violent crime has increased by well over 300% in many of those cities?

IS IT TRUE that since the coronavirus lockdowns began domestic abuse and violent crimes have been increasing in cities throughout American cities at alarming rates?… it been guesstimated that domestic abuse and violent crimes in larger U. S. cities have increased by over 400%?

IS IT TRUE we wonder that next time you have a problem that needs the help of law enforcement who would you call? …would you call a known convicted felon or a member of law enforcement?
IS IT TRUE we been told by several reliable sources that the two-term Democratic Vanderburgh County Sheriff, Dave Wedding voted Republican in the most recent primary election?  …it’s now rumored that in the very near future Sherrif David Wedding will be holding a joint press conference with Lt. Governor Suzanne Crouch to announce that he will become a Republican?
IS IT TRUE we consider Nick Laccarino the Vice-Chairman of the Vanderburgh County Democratic Party be a rising political star?  …that he’s smart, personable and a hard worker?

IS IT TRUE when the people fear the Government we have Tyranny!  When the Government fears the people we have Liberty?
IS IT TRUE our “READERS POLLS” are non-scientific but trendy?

  1. We need to make sure that Alex and Ben and other democrats are never elected to public office again. They just don’t get it and anyone who votes for democrats just don’t get it. Most local folks should know what happens when a city or state becomes controlled by democrats, it becomes a cesspool. Just imagine what the 4th ward would look like if democrats had full control of this city. It would be interesting to see/know if local law enforcement has a plan to meet protestors/rioters with overwhelming force or a plan to kneel and retreat. There is no reason to allow one act of violence or property damage to occur without swift over reaction, force on force repercussions. What democrat mayors are calling peaceful protestors is actually domestic terrorism. It makes one wonder what is the endgame for democrats. Maybe it’s time for the democrat party, the party of the KKK and confederacy to go the way of the Robert E Lee statues or least change the name to something more in line with their principles, like communist.

  2. Newspeak, I agree with most of your premises, Alex really scares me. I believe he has drank the juice and is out in political never never land! Ben on the other hand I believe means well and will do the right thing. We must protect our families and property and not give into politicians that don’t follow the same!

  3. #walkaway……..if true good news for our sheriff Wedding……………all democrats should #walkaway from todays demoncrat/marxist party……………………..if they have one ounce of integrity…………………….
