My new book, “The Advent of Feral Man” is now available on Substack drcurriemyers.substack.com. In this book, I present compelling evidence that within the last decade, America is going into a quick decent into the “wilding” of human beings. A phenomenon that is perpetuated by the lack of faith, family, and formation in our human development. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it!
This week I was the co-host on the Lou Desmond Show on KMET in San Bernardino in which our guest was NYPD Chief of Patrol, John Chell. The “no-nonsense” Chief of Patrol which encompasses half of the sworn officers assigned to the NYPD talks about crime issues in the Big Apple, the lack of focused deterrence hampered by cashless bail being uniformly applied and a failure to understand the importance of recidivism. He also weighed in illegal migrant crime and its impact that has resulting in higher crime, including more violent crime. We finished with a brief discussion on NYPD’s use of technology and how it is changing the face of modern law enforcement. You can follow Chief Chell on X.
I was also on Wake-Up Tucson with Chris DiSimone discussing the reality of crime statistics (Crime IS NOT at an all-time low in reality), crime in Tucson specifically and comparisons that are going on in Tucson that is similar to the chaos of California’s Proposition 47.

This week I weighed in on consequences associated with enforcement of the law in disasters. In my published Opinion Piece, I opined that during major catastrophic events such as hurricanes, tornados, and wildfires, local and state governments sometimes enact emergency measures, which can include the restriction of constitutional rights. These restrictions are often justified under the guise of protecting public safety and ensuring order, but they also raise serious questions about government overreach and the violation of fundamental freedoms. One of the most critical areas where constitutional rights have been curtailed is in relation to the Second Amendment—the right to bear arms. Citizens deserve the ability to protect themselves, their families, and their property from criminals, natural predators, and the chaos that often accompanies disasters. Governments should focus on empowering their citizens, not stripping them of their fundamental rights. Those in positions of authority who choose to infringe upon these rights do so at their own peril—both legally and politically.
In other news:
A Kentucky woman is behind bars after pieces of another woman’s dismembered body were found behind her mother’s home earlier this week, police in the Bluegrass State say. Torilena Fields, 32, stands accused of one count each of obstructing governmental operations, tampering with physical evidence, and abuse of corpse, according to Bourbon County jail records. Law enforcement says multiple indices of occult practices came up during the so-far brief investigation into the macabre crime scene. The victim’s body had its arms, legs and head removed with the torso and spine “severed in half and the organs removed,” according to the citation. Investigators also said they found body parts that “appeared to have been cooked” in a steel pot inside the oven.
The Illinois father who confessed that he “lost his mind” and beat his teenage daughter to death — apparently over her wanting to go to prom — will likely spend the rest of his life behind bars. Mohammed Almaru, 44, was sentenced Thursday to 55 years in prison for killing his 17-year-old daughter Mia Maro inside their home in May 2022. A jury convicted him in August of first-degree murder after about an hour of deliberations, according to a local Patch report. On May 1, 2022, Mia’s aunt found the girl’s body in the family’s Tinley Park home. She was covered in bruises, and prosecutors said Almaru attacked her with a rubber mallet, later discovered in the garage, as well as a bloodied and bent metal pole found on the kitchen floor.
Two Alabama jailers have admitted to letting an inmate freeze to death while housed naked in a filthy jail cell without running water, a bed or a toilet for two weeks. According to his plea agreement, Ganey thought Mitchell should have been taken to a hospital or mental health facility, given the detainee had trouble standing, let alone walking from a cop car to the jail. Mitchell was also disoriented, non-combative, and could not follow instructions, observations that were obvious to all who took part in escorting Mitchell. Temperatures were colder than other areas of the jail, partly because it had an exterior wall, and temperatures in Walker County during the time Mitchell was there dipped to 20 degrees at times.
Authorities in Mississippi arrested a police officer after allegedly finding him passed out in a patrol car while holding a meth pipe in his hand. According to the Yazoo City Police Department, officers received a call around 3 a.m. on Saturday for a car that was idled at a stop light. Cops arrived on the scene to find it was not just any car but a police cruiser. The vehicle was from the Belzoni Police Department, a town about 25 miles to the north. They looked to find that there was an officer, later identified as 41-year-old James Lee Jackson, inside. It also appeared that the police officer was holding a pipe used for drug use. The officers tried to wake him up to no avail. Cops eventually jolted him awake and got him out of the car. They allegedly determined that he was indeed holding a pipe used for methamphetamine and other narcotics. A search of his car yielded a small bag of marijuana, cops said.
Wyoming Legislators are considering a bill that would ease the process of removing illegal occupants of residential properties (squatters) — a positive move to protect property owners as the issue continues to gain attention from lawmakers (Mountain States Policy Center).
Hurricane Relief
For those of our readers suffering through the hurricanes the James Madison Institute released an updated list of resources for those affected by Hurricane Helene and Milton in the wake of the second major hurricane to hit Florida in the past few weeks.
John Locke Foundation launched a campaign with its online store to direct resources to a local North Carolina nonprofit doing hurricane relief work in the area.
