Once again, Donald J. Trump did what every Democrat swore was impossible. He ended the Gaza war and brought the Israeli hostages home, not with weak-kneed “diplomacy” or empty photo ops, but with real leadership, the kind that terrifies bureaucrats and dictators alike. While Trump was out there playing chess, Joe Biden and his Democrat pals were still trying to find the checkers board. Biden’s feckless inaction turned Gaza into a graveyard. Thousands died because Democrats couldn’t decide whether to side with civilization or chaos. They chose confusion, as usual. Hamas ruled Gaza like a cult, choking their own people in a noose of hate and blaming Israel for every drop of blood they spilled themselves. Yet Democrats wrung their hands and held committee meetings while the bodies piled up. Trump walked in, said enough, and delivered results. The same “radical progressives” who once mocked him will now pretend this victory never happened. But facts don’t care about their feelings. Trum...

When it comes to arson investigations, I’m reminded of a Phoenix case where an arson investigator actually testified that his dog was better at detecting accelerants than the state crime lab. The defendant, Barbara Sloan, was dragged through prosecutorial hell because the key witness was a dog. Think about that. To admit this evidence, the handler had to testify under oath about what the dog supposedly told him. That’s not science, that’s comedy. Yet this kind of junk evidence appears to have resurfaced in the Pacific Palisades arson case against 29-year-old Jonathan Rinderknecht. Before this arrest, the fire was blamed squarely on Southern California Edison’s decrepit equipment, Mayor Karen Bass’s inept leadership, and Fire Chief Kristyn Crowley’s department failures. Then suddenly we’re told it was arson. How convenient. With billions in damages and at least a dozen lives lost, everyone on the hook just got an early Christmas gift, a patsy to absorb all the blame. The utility’s negle...

The radical left is not some quirky political movement. It is a serious domestic threat. We can sit back, do nothing and hope their street thugs do not burn down more cities, or we can stop these wannabe Communists cold before they drag the country into more chaos. Military veterans and retired cops, it is time to wake up. Train your neighbors. Build plans. Be ready to back up federal, state, and local law enforcement when the chaos spills over. For now, rules of engagement stay defensive, but do not kid yourself. The threat will escalate, and when it does, the rules will change fast. What happened in Chicago yesterday was disgraceful. Police Superintendent Larry Snelling and Mayor Brandon Johnson let ICE agents come under deadly attack and blocked officers from helping. That is not leadership. That is betrayal. If Chicago police won’t keep the peace in protecting federal agents, then citizens who value law and order must be ready to step in and keep those agents alive by whatever me...

Meet Tilly Norwood, the “it girl” of a future that does not need real people. She is gorgeous, ageless, and built entirely out of code. Her voice is flawless, her accent charming, her face camera ready every hour of the day. She can sing, dance, act, and never ask for a trailer upgrade or a bigger paycheck. She is the new triple threat and she does not even need lunch breaks. Artificial intelligence can already replace every television news anchor. Reporters are harder to swap out for now. Remember Max Headroom? That rubber faced, stuttering digital host was a clumsy first try at replacing human broadcasters. Today’s AI anchors look real, sound real, and can read a teleprompter without blinking, sneezing, or getting a name wrong. Sure, we like to see emotion when breaking news hits, like when Walter Cronkite removed his glasses and wiped away tears announcing JFK’s assassination. But do not kid yourself. AI can fake that perfectly. Programmers already know how to code sadness, outrage...

Since its grand debut nearly 80 years ago, the UN has racked up a spectacular record of failure in its supposed core mission: peacekeeping. Wars keep happening, genocide keeps happening, and dictators still strut across its stage pretending to care. Meanwhile, American taxpayers fork over at least $4 billion a year to keep this diplomatic retirement home running. For what? A bunch of overpaid bureaucrats lounging in prime Manhattan real estate while accomplishing exactly nothing. The UN began with noble intentions. But if phone calls between world leaders achieve just as much, and they do, why keep bankrolling this total shit show? Its presence today is purely symbolic, a costly monument to global inaction. The New York headquarters is crammed with career diplomats wasting oxygen and congratulating each other for meaningless resolutions. It is long past time to take the grown up step: pack up their fancy offices, hand them their eviction notice, and let someone else host the most ...

Renting a car sounds innocent enough, right? You show your license, sign the paperwork, and drive away thinking you’re just borrowing a car, not a set of felony charges. Wrong. Welcome to the modern clown show of rental car companies. I recently had a case where a client was charged with stealing a car from Avis. He thought it was a brilliant idea to represent himself. Newsflash: representing yourself in court is like doing your own brain surgery. It is messy, painful, and almost always ends badly. This nonsense isn’t new. Remember Hertz? I somehow recalled a little “oops” moment where they reported cars stolen that were, in fact, rented. One poor guy, just a tourist in Vegas, got the full Las Vegas moment sans the wedding chapel ceremony. Instead of meeting Elvis he met Cops at gunpoint, face in the asphalt and a vacation memory he’ll never forget! I decided to dig deeper using ChatGPT, and what I found was staggering. This wasn’t one mistake. It was practically company policy. Cleric...
