My new book, “The Advent of Feral Man” is now available on Substack drcurriemyers.substack.com for all paid subscribers. 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 guest-host on the Lou Desmond & Company Show, KMET, San Bernardino, California. My guest was former CIA analyst, Dr. John Gentry and we discussed his new book Diversity Dysfunction: The DEI Threat to National Security Intelligence is available at Amazon and other major book retailers.
Don’t forget my podcast also available on Spotify on America’s Criminologist with Dr. Currie Myers. And please join me on X. This is a very important platform for distributing my work. @DrCurrieMyers

Okay here is my five-minute blitz on CJ News and Information for this week:
Crime on the subways is down this year but with the Daniel Penny trial ending days ago, the possibility that a deranged homeless person could kill someone on a platform or on a train seems very real to a lot of people. In fact, the very thing that Daniel Penny was worried would happen that day on the train did happen just last month when a homeless man with a knife wandered through the city's streets, stabbing three different people at random. Two of them died from their injuries. What Mayor Adams wants is new legislation from the state that would make it easier to involuntarily commit the homeless people who routinely refuse help. Jordan Neely is one of the people who needed to be taken out of circulation whether he wanted it or not. This is something Adams has been talking about since he came into office, and he started pushing for it again after the November stabbing incident.
A woman in Florida has been arrested after she allegedly threatened the health insurance company BlueShield with a copycat crime following the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. The woman, 42-year-old Briana Boston of Lakeland, allegedly called BlueCross BlueShield in response to a recent medical claim being denied and issued a threat echoing the UnitedHealthcare CEO killer’s words. “Delay, deny, depose. You people are next,” she allegedly said to the company over the phone. The words “Delay, Deny, Depose” were written on the bullet casings used to kill UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. When police arrived at Boston’s home to question her about the phone call, she allegedly told them that “healthcare companies played games and deserved karma from the world because they are evil.” She also told police she owned no firearms and had no intention to hurt anyone, which the police did not believe. Per the New York Post: Boston’s bail has been set at $100,000. Lakeland Police Chief Sam Taylor told WFLA that she should have known better than to issue such threats.
President Joe Biden announced on Thursday that he was granting 39 pardons and 1,499 commutations in what his administration called the “largest single-day grant of clemency in modern history.” But it’s not Thursday’s set of commutations that have caught the attention of concerned Americans — it’s those that were quietly given weeks ago to Chinese spies. While most Americans were finalizing their menus and getting into the holiday spirit, Biden commuted the sentence of Yanjun Xu on November 22. Xu was convicted in 2022 for “conspiracy to commit economic espionage; conspiracy to commit trade secret theft; attempted economic espionage by theft or fraud; attempted theft of trade secrets by taking or deception.” Similarly, spy Ji Chaoqun was convicted of “conspiracy to defraud the United States; impersonating agents of foreign governments; statements or entries generally.” Ji arrived in the United States in 2013 on an F1 Visa before later enlisting in the U.S. Army Reserves “under a program allowing legal immigrants with special skills to serve,” according to the Chicago Sun-Times.
Five men with alleged ties to the violent Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua are under arrest after Texas state and local police found $1 million in drugs in a Houston apartment. In addition to the drugs, police seized 24 firearms. Harris County Precinct 1 Constable Alan Rosen told reporters on Wednesday this is the largest drug bust in his department’s history. He said the five men were allegedly running a “drive-thru drug trafficking” operation in the apartment complex located in northwest Houston.
The Department of Education under President Joe Biden spent more than $1 billion on DEI-driven grants to public school districts, universities, and nonprofits since 2021, according to a report released by watchdog group Parents Defending Education (PDE). The 162 grants funding DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) initiatives were aimed at hiring, educational programming, and mental health training, according to PDE. Total price tag: $1,002,522,304.81. PDE said that's a conservative estimate.
