(DCNF)—Lawyer Marcia Clark predicted Tuesday that Democratic Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is likely to be voted out of office in 2025.
Bragg has faced intense scrutiny for appearing soft on criminals while pursuing high-profile prosecutions against President-elect Donald Trump and marine veteran Daniel Penny. Clark, on “Dan Abrams Live,” said that the Manhattan district attorney will “probably” lose his reelection bed in a similar fashion to Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascon, who was ousted in November, pointing to Bragg’s perceived failure to prosecute property crimes.
“I think that Alvin Bragg has been in some hot water of his own, independently of whatever people may perceive as his liberal bias. But I think there is something in the air. People are pretty tired of people getting away with stuff, particularly when it comes to property crimes,” Clark said. “I know here in California, we’ve had a lot of problems with shoplifting and people complaining, I think on the East Coast as well.”
“You go into the CVS or whatever, a Walmart, everything’s locked up. You can’t buy deodorant without calling a store manager. Everybody’s tired of it and it really is enough already,” she continued. “So I think that all of the DAs that seem to be associated with that attitude of ‘we’re not going to prosecute that little stuff’ are probably going to be gone very soon.”
Over 27,000 felony crimes in Manhattan were reported in 2024 as of Nov. 10, marking a nearly 17% increase from the identical time frame in 2021, prior to Bragg’s tenure, according to New York Police Department documents, the New York Post reported. Rape, robbery, felony assault and grand larceny have all surged during Bragg’s time in office.
Bragg secured a conviction of Trump in May on 34 counts for falsifying business records to reimburse his former attorney Michael Cohen for a nondisclosure agreement with porn star Stormy Daniels. However, a jury acquitted Penny on Monday on charges of criminally negligent homicide in the death of homeless man Jordan Neely.

Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,

I hope the voters have enough sense to vote this radical out! Good riddance if they do.
Bragg belongs in prison!!
