Kenosha’s Kyle Rittenhouse and the legal circus continue six years later.

Vigilante hero Kyle Rittenhouse is still waiting for the final legal chapter to close in Kenosha, a city whose leaders chose cowardice over duty and chaos over law. When government refuses to protect its citizens, often the vacuum does not stay empty. Order does not politely wait its turn. Someone always steps in. In Kenosha, that someone was a 17 year old kid who showed more spine than the entire political class running the city. Kyle Rittenhouse was cleared of every criminal charge by a jury that actually watched the evidence instead of swallowing slogans. Yet six years later, civil lawsuits still crawl through the courts against him and against government officials who deliberately stood down while their city burned. No urgency. No accountability. Just the slow bureaucratic grind designed to punish by exhaustion. August 2020 was the moment Kenosha exposed itself. Leadership refused to act. Law enforcement was ordered to stand down. Arsonists roamed freely. Property was destroyed...

Water cannon trucks reduces injuries and violence it’s time to employ them here.

If the goal is to reduce injuries, then we need to stop pretending that chemical agents and kinetic projectiles are “gentler” options. Tear gas, pepper spray, rubber bullets, and impact munitions put people in emergency rooms. Sometimes they put them in hospitals. Always they create lawsuits, especially in blue states where juries reward bad behavior with lottery-sized verdicts. There is a better tool, and it works. Properly used water cannon trucks drastically reduce injuries. No chemicals. No burns. No broken bones. No permanent damage. Just water. A lot of it. Water cannons are safe, effective, and humane when used correctly. Not to blast people off their feet. Not to injure. Simply to subject disruptive crowds to sustained, miserable conditions. Soaked clothing. Cold exposure. Total discomfort. The fastest cure is simple. Go home. Dry off. Get warm. That is why the political left hates them. They work too well. American law enforcement keeps deploying so-called less-lethal wea...

So you’re a Democrat? This is what you support.

  The Democrat Party has burned through every shred of credibility it ever had with the American public. Whatever trust once existed is gone, buried, and not coming back. What remains looks like a political ghost ship. No rudder. No compass. Just drifting in circles while the crew argues on deck. Call it the Flying Dutchman of American politics, cursed to wander forever while pretending it knows where it is going. And spare the theatrics. Its real heading is obvious. Straight toward collectivism, dependency, and state control. The sales pitch never changes. Promise riches to people who have none. Promise security to people who feel afraid. Promise fairness to people who do not want to compete. What they actually deliver is dependency, stagnation, and permanent poverty. Everywhere communism or its close cousin socialism has taken root, the result is the same. A tiny elite of party insiders living like royalty, and a massive underclass reduced to economic serfdom. The masses surviv...

The censorship of foul language has outlived it’s usefulness.

It is long past time for the Federal Communications Commission to stop fainting on the couch over dirty words. Let us drop the fake shock. The F bomb is no longer a linguistic outlier. It is everyday speech. Grocery stores. Job sites. Court hallways. Family dinners when the turkey burns. The language police lost this war decades ago, and the surrender papers were signed in permanent marker. Is it polite? No. That is the point. Profanity exists to add force, volume, and emphasis where ordinary words fail. It is verbal punctuation. An exclamation mark with teeth. These words may have sexual origins, but in modern usage they have about as much to do with sex as a screwdriver has to do with architecture. Most of the time they are insults. Sometimes they are comedy. Often they are pure frustration escaping the mouth at high velocity. What they are not is a threat to civilization. This is, inconveniently for the censors, a free speech issue. The late comedian George Carlin understood t...

The American Healthcare Crisis. Insurance Theft With a Smile

Turn on the TV any night and you will see the same rotten story on loop. Americans who did everything right. Worked. Paid premiums. Played by the rules. Then came the moment they actually needed care, and the insurance company slammed the door shut. Claim denied. Coverage “reviewed.” Treatment delayed. People die while corporate lawyers shuffle paper. That is not a glitch in the system. That is the system. And spare me the gaslighting. This is not complicated. Baby boomers like me did not live through this nightmare. We had jobs that came with real insurance. Not marketing brochures. Not fine-print scams. Real coverage that actually paid when someone got sick. So what the hell happened to our kids and grandkids? The legacy media will never tell you the answer because they helped build the mess. When we grew up, borders meant something. If you overstayed a visa, you were apprehended and sent home. Period. By the late 1970s, enforcement got shoved into a drawer, forgotten, and e...

Anatomy of a Rush to Judgment

History keeps meticulous records. Humans keep none. What is past is prologue, and once again, nobody bothered to read it. Cue the emotional detonation following the death of Renee Good in Minneapolis. Predictably, grief was immediately repackaged, politicized, and sold at retail outrage prices before the law was even unpacked. Start with the part everyone skipped. The law. The primary federal statute governing interference with federal officers is 18 U.S.C. § 111, titled Assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers or employees. This statute applies broadly to federal law enforcement personnel defined under 18 U.S.C. § 1114, including ICE agents while performing official duties. Under 18 U.S.C. § 111(a), it is a crime to forcibly assault, resist, oppose, impede, intimidate, or interfere with such officers while engaged in their duties. “Forcibly” does not require Hollywood theatrics. Courts have consistently held that physical resistance, threats creating reasonable fear, or...
