The clock is ticking, and the tension is mounting. Two major gun rights cases—Snope and Ocean State Tactical—have been relisted a jaw-dropping 14 times. The justices haven’t granted certiorari. They haven’t denied it either. It’s like we’re standing on the edge of a constitutional cliff… but don’t be fooled by the silence. Here’s the truth: this is not over. Not by a long shot. Granting cert would mean a full hearing—a showdown in the highest court of the land. Denial would leave the states free to keep banning so-called “assault weapons” and standard-capacity magazines. But with the conservative majority on the bench and the landmark Bruen decision of 2022 setting a bold new precedent, it’s highly unlikely the Court lets these cases drift into the black hole of legal limbo. I believe the Court is gearing up for something bold—and unprecedented. As the term closes in July, expect the unexpected: a summary decision, delivered with precision and finality, declaring that Bruen already...

Let me predict that the Supreme Court’s ultimate gunfight is set to restore the Second Amendment.   The United States Supreme Court has a habit of saving its biggest constitutional thunderclaps for the end of term—and this year is no exception. Two high-stakes Second Amendment battles—Snope v. Garland and Ocean State Tactical v. Rhode Island—are locked in at SCOTUS, and the justices are not letting them go quietly. Rather than issuing a routine denial or grant of certiorari, the Court has relisted these cases again and again in conference—an unmistakable signal to seasoned court watchers that the justices are circling something explosive. This pattern strongly suggests that the Court may be preparing to grant certiorari and use these cases to reaffirm and perhaps expand on the principles it laid down in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen, 597 U.S. ___ (2022). In Bruen, the Court made it abundantly clear: the Second Amendment is not a second-class right. Any l...

Let’s cut to the chase. Lyle and Erik Menendez didn’t just kill their parents — they executed them in cold blood, with 12-gauge shotguns, inside the luxurious walls of their Beverly Hills mansion. It was a brutal ambush, and it wasn’t long before things started to unravel. At first, police suspected a mob hit. The scene was that violent. But within seven months, the real story began to emerge — not through clever detective work, but from the brothers themselves, who couldn’t keep their stories straight and spent money like lottery winners on a deadline. After the August 1989 murders, Lyle and Erik went on a jaw-dropping spending spree. Lyle picked up a Rolex, a Porsche, designer clothes, and even sank money into a restaurant in Princeton, New Jersey. He also paid for Erik’s private tennis coaching. Meanwhile, Erik bought a Jeep, entered tennis tournaments, and indulged in luxury travel and shopping like there was no tomorrow. Together, they burned through hundreds of thousands of do...

So, you’ve just been arrested. Great. Welcome to what is likely not going to be the best day of your life. But hey, this is exactly why you need to flash those pearly whites like you’re posing for a toothpaste commercial—because your booking photo is about to go public, baby! We’ve all seen those glorious mugshots on TV—faces contorted in despair, rage, or just plain confusion. Some look like they’ve just seen a ghost, others are doing their best “Don Corleone” impression. It’s like a sad talent show for the emotionally wrecked. Back in the day, booking photos came with that charming slate of police info—height, date, maybe a fun alias. But no more! The cops got tired of being sued because those CSI-style headshots made people look guilty, even when they were just misunderstood lovers of chaos. Now? Booking photos look like they were snapped between chemistry and gym class. No police info, no context—just you and your “Why me?” face. And trust me, nothing screams “I probably did it”...

  Martin County, FL—An anonymous bystander played a pivotal role in the capture of would-be presidential assassin Ryan Wesley Routh. Using his phone, the individual snapped a photo of Routh’s license plate and quickly alerted authorities. Police utilized License Plate Reader (LPR) technology to track and arrest the suspect. LPRs are high-resolution cameras that capture license plates, along with the time, date, and location of a vehicle. These devices are either stationary on roads or mounted on vehicles. In this case, a network of LPR cameras in the area helped localize the suspect. LPR technology is becoming an essential tool in modern law enforcement. It can place a suspect near a crime scene or miles away, offering crucial evidence in trials. Data from LPRs, far more reliable than eyewitness accounts, are increasingly used in court to either incriminate or exonerate suspects. Along with other data related surveillance tools, LPRs have significantly increased crime-solving effic...

Phoenix, AZ— For many decades, Arizona only permitted the open carry of firearms, reserving concealed carry solely for sworn peace officers. However, open carry of handguns, in particular, is fraught with risks and is more likely to lead to a breach of peace than firearms carried discreetly. When you openly carry a handgun, you are more likely to encounter unstable individuals who might confront, complain, or even attempt to disarm you. But there’s an even more alarming scenario: imagine someone sees you with a gun, feels threatened, and falsely reports to the police that you pointed the weapon at them. The police respond to find you openly carrying a firearm, and there’s a so-called “victim” willing to lie under oath. In Arizona, aggravated assault laws, especially those involving gun-pointing, are severe, carrying a mandatory five-year prison sentence without parole. Even if you know you did nothing wrong, the trial may not go in your favor. The accuser could perjure themselves, and ...

The late Newton Minnow, former Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, nailed it when he called television a "vast wasteland" of senseless violence, mindless comedy, and ads that make you want to throw up. And that was in 1961! If he could see the state of TV now, he'd probably throw himself off of a broadcast tower just to make it stop. Reality shows? More like asinine fantasy shows where people compete to see who can be the most ridiculous for the least amount of money. And let’s not forget those Court TV programs featuring folks who seem to think brushing their teeth is a once-in-a-lifetime event. These people parade their petty grievances on national television, seemingly unaware that they should be mortified. As for network news, it’s like watching a soap opera written by conspiracy theorists. The radical left has hijacked the narrative, and they repeat lies so often, they become truths—at least to anyone still watching. Newspapers? Well, with over 7...

Washington, DC—Let me start by saying I don't have a personal stake in this issue. While I find abortion generally troubling, I acknowledge its necessity in many cases. Roe v. Wade is often misunderstood. The Supreme Court should adhere strictly to the Constitution, not sway with public opinion. However, justices sometimes allow their personal political beliefs to influence their decisions, which is problematic. In Roe v. Wade, the Court legalized abortion through a complex interpretation, declaring an unwritten Right to Privacy. This right, which wasn't explicitly included by the Founding Fathers, was effectively created without a constitutional amendment. To be clear, there has never been an inherent reproductive right or right to choose—these are terms born out of advocacy. For "pro-choice" advocates, it's important to note that there has never been a simple majority (50%+1) to legalize abortion nationwide, nor a consensus on when abortion should be permitted i...

Delaware— Let’s begin with the gun violation.    This Federal law was born within the  Gun Control Act of 1968  after   the assassinations of the  Kennedy’s  and  Martin Luther King.   Of course, guns were blamed for these murders by the hand wringing, gun right haters, much more so, than the killers.     A portion of that 1968 Johnson Administration, federal law dealt with making a requirement that anyone purchasing a gun from a licensed gun dealer had to truthfully fill out what is commonly known as a  4473 form .    The 4473 form asks a lot of questions including if you’re under indictment or been convicted of a crime that carries a prison penalty of more than a year. Additional questions involved mental health status and citizenship.  Later, questions involving Red Flag, domestic abuse and restraining orders we're added to this form.     More Recently the  FBI  got involved ...

  Washington, DC— Democrats have pretended their open border policy is one of kindness and humanitarianism. That’s pure bullshit.   We all know that poverty breeds more Democrats.  Stuffing Southern states with illegal aliens will soon turn those Southern  Red States, Blue.  Yes, Democrat politicians are using these unfortunate souls as a tool for purely political purpose. The reality is, the southern states have had the unfair burden to provide humanitarian needs, along with medical and educational assistance to the illegal aliens.  The Blue State politicians have, put in place every form of welfare to control their own unemployed, unemployable, impoverished, uneducated, unskilled and chronically lazy people that will vote for them.  It’s all about total control. They don’t need more Democrats in Blue States.  If the Democrats really cared they’d welcome their new illegals with open arms and provide for them.  Instead they have been strangli...

Chicago, IL —Okay, retirement was the wrong word to use.     It was obviously the reality that CBS was going trough lean times and Pam Zekman took home a King’s Ransom sized paycheck.     They laid her and a small busload of newsroom faces off in this drastic economy move.     After a half-century as Chicago's top investigative journalist, Zekman is wealthy and earned herself a dream retirement package.  Don’t shed a tear for this legendary, Queen of the Ambush Interview, she is now off to new adventures! By the way, Zekman influenced me too, more than she will ever know! The more difficult job falls in the hands if WBBM-TV’s News Director, Jeff Harris .  He must find a leaner, meaner version of Zekman to fill her shoes.   I know just the top gun investigative reporter and a kick ass producer, perfect for the Chicago market.  The ad revenue has to perk up a bit.  CBS2 knows it must move on a...

Los Angeles, CA--The Covid-19 catastrophe may well change forever the way TV news is gathered and broadcast.   The nation’s news operations have been forced to have some reporters work from home.  They’re suddenly gathering news as they conduct their routine interviews via Zoom, Skype and Facetime .  The Multi Media Journalist is a mainstay everywhere except where the photographers unions are politically anchored.  That’s all about to change.  Drones, smaller and cheaper DSLR type cameras are capturing startling video images.  Quality video live streaming has never been so easy.  The technology learning curve for reporters is no longer an obstacle. The increased efficiency and cost savings connected to news gathering are really monumental.  There will always be a need for helicopters, and news crews to chase breaking news.  We need to forever end those ridiculous and expensive reporter’s live shots in front of stale ...

Writer and Director, Nora Fingscheidt and me... Los Angeles, CA- - Being a member of the Screen Actors Guild I am blessed to get to see a lot of films and meet the creative forces behind them. That’s exactly what happened tonight as I saw a German film, System Crasher .   It was a project dreamed up by a lovely young film student by the name of Nora Fingscheidt .   The film began seven years ago as a thought that has culminated in an Oscar competing film in the best foreign film category.  The entire cast was captivating.  The film stars nine-year-old, Helena Zengel as Benni , a young, somewhat abandoned child.  This child is under care of the government and they can hardly cope with her.  She’s a bright girl and is fiercely independent.  Benni's real problem is obvious she has been denied a two parent household and all of the love and attention that every child deserves. She’s considered a System Crasher.  Benni has somew...

Washington, DC- -Bi-Sexual, Democratic Congresswoman Katie Hill announced her resignation today.  This came as her soon to be ex-husband spilled the beans over her sexual activities with at least two subbordinate staffers.  Salacious photos surfaced showing hill naked with a female staffer, smoking a bong on 9/11/01 and another naked shot revealing her pubic area, Nazi Iron Cross tattoo.  I suspect that there's a lot more to come involving Hill's financial chicanery and I promise that this story is far from over. My question now is what happens to the Million dollar plus 2020 campaign war chest? Hill promised to shake up Washington and she's done just that!  She's been missing since this story broke, choosing to hide behind written statements. Who will catch her with a video camera first to hear and broadcast what she has to say?                      

Los Angeles, CA-- Due process and our dubious criminal justice system is really not doing well.   Exonerations are on the rise as exhaustive post conviction investigations expose police, crime lab or prosecutorial misconduct.  It takes decades to expose wrongful convictions as these victims rot in our prisons.  This is not about reducing the penalties that criminals deserve.  This is about pure and simple justice and fairness.   Prosecutors have been given excessive powers in recent years that they nearly always abuse.  Juries almost never hear about the checkered backgrounds of witnesses and so-called victims.  The backgrounds of the accused however are nearly always disclosed.   We routinely convict people in circumstantial cases where the jury guesses guilt or innocence.   If a jury has to guess, that should dictate an acquittal but that’s just not how it works.   I have worked with the best and worst la...
