The System Failed  And an Innocent Woman Paid the Price The Tragic Case of  Bethany MaGee  /  Lawrence Reed and Why We Need To Change Civil Commitment Laws   When violent repeat offenders are allowed to roam freely despite years of warning signs, innocent people are left feeling like they are playing Russian roulette just to get to work.

Kincaid’s Strategy to End Homelessness

For decades, we’ve seen government agencies from HUD to city and county programs. Spend billions of dollars to fight homelessness. But despite the money and the promises, the problem keeps getting worse. Why? Because most of our current programs are built on theories that don’t work in reality. In theory, if you have a thousand homeless people, you build a thousand housing units, problem solved. In reality it doesn’t work that way. Some people are struggling with addiction. Others have untreated mental illness. And others simply can’t afford rent in an overpriced market. You cannot put all three groups under one roof and expect stability or safety. Look at programs like Plymouth Housing. Their hearts may be in the right place, but the results tell the truth. Police and fire are called there constantly. For overdoses, assaults, and mental health crises. It’s not compassion to ignore that. It’s negligence. We need a new approach. One that separates by cause, not by convenience. For those...

Nurse Assault Prevention and Accountability Act of 2027

Nurse Assault Prevention and Accountability Act of 2027 Protecting the People Who Take Care of Us Overview Every day across America, nurses, certified nursing assistants (CNAs), and frontline healthcare workers walk into hospitals, clinics, and longterm care facilities not knowing if they’ll be respected or if they’ll be threatened, spat on, shoved, or worse.  They’re not asking for praise. They’re asking for protection.  According to recent data nearly three out of four workplace violence incidents in the private sector happen in healthcare. Seventy-five percent. Nurses are punched. CNAs are attacked. ER staff are threatened not just during pandemics, but during regular shifts, in everyday America.  And yet  in many states  if someone assaults a nurse, if they throw a punch, slap, or spit on them. There may be no serious consequences at all. In too many places  it’s treated like a minor misdemeanor. If it’s even prosecuted at all.  That must change. P...
