Arizona Has Decimated the Liberal, Feel Good “Gun Buy-Back” Schemes!

Guns from a recent Tucson Buy-back event.  Phoenix, AZ —In Phoenix and Tucson there is the Large City Disease called Liberalism.   For some reason the larger cities of our nation attracts the Looney political Left and their facilitation of poverty, crime and ignorance.   Between the larger cities are the smaller ones and the rural areas inhabited for the most part by hard working, law-abiding, and taxpaying productive people.  The political Right controls the productive and peaceful areas.  The Left abets violence, dependence and ignorance in the places under their control.  It’s is a simple fact that per-capita violence, crime and despair is always over the top in large cities run by the Left.  The collective self-esteem of big city inhabitants is usually right in the toilet. The Left hates gun rights preferring that their intended victims cannot endanger criminals.  The bans against possession and the carrying of firearms;...

Chicago’s Failed Gun Politics Just cost Taxpayers Well over $1 Million bucks!

BREAKING NEWS Chicago, IL—As feeble-minded politicians responded to the U.S. Supreme Court,  McDonald vs City of Chicago ruling striking down gun bans by enacting a new one the taxpayers got raped yet again! The NRA quickly filed a federal lawsuit on behalf of their members against the City of Chicago and Village of Oak Park.  After very expensive litigation the court ruled that the local government politicians were again violating the gun rights of law-abiding citizens.  The loser has to pay the legal fees of the winner. That amounted to $1,326,588.00 .  That’s only half the damage because the taxpayers were forced to pay for the legal fees incurred by the politicians.  The City claims they can't pay for cops to patrol the streets but that have lots of your money to waste violating your rights. Today Federal Judge Milton I Shadur ordered Chicago and Oak Park to pay up! Minute Order Resolving Fees NRA

Chicago Police Operating Budget Gets Slashed by $190 Million?

Chicago, IL -- Police Supt. Garry McCarthy has been ordered to make catastrophic cuts into the police budget. I feel obligated to help him with suggestions. Police bodyguards of Chicago’s current and former officials must end altogether. Sworn and trained city cops are not needed for this duty anyway. Those who believe they need that kind of protection, for a lot less can hire civilian security guards at their own expense. City officials are not royalty. Perhaps if they are afraid they should resign and drive cabs or work in convenience stores instead. Police have been protecting Barack Obama’s empty Hyde Park home for nearly three years around the clock. If that must be done let the Secret Service handle it. It would be far cheaper for the city to purchase his home and find him a new one if and when he returns. There is really no other solution here but to end this perk for good. Even the Mayor, Aldermen and Superintendent of Police should be capable enough to commut...

Los Angeles Gun Buy Back Program Makes Fools Feel Good

Los Angeles, CA -- Mayor Antonio R. Villaraigosa with his appointed police chief, Charlie Beck along with other city politicians seem to love the silly idea of gun buy backs. The program was recycled Saturday here at six locations by city officials. They offered gift cards from Ralph's Supermarkets or Visa . A mere handgun would fetch $100.00 while a so-called assault rifle would garner $200.00. As always, there were no questions asked as they handed over the plastic currency to the anonymous participants. As always, most of the guns collected are worth far less than what officials paid for them. These buy backs attract gun dealers from everywhere who see the opportunity to make a small profit unloading what they can’t otherwise sell. In some cases burglars were paid for the proceeds of their crimes turning the LAPD into an illicit fencing operation. Close examination of the junk collected always shows rusted, broken and totally unserviceable firearms. Toys always somehow turn u...

Remove all Lawless Wisconsin Lawmakers and Teachers from the Public Payroll.

The voters of this state demanded change. They elected people that would protect taxpayers. Teachers are in for some serious belt tightening in a state that has spent itself into bankruptcy. Thousands of teachers and the Leftist, pro-union members of the state Legislature have gone into a lawless rebellion. Perhaps we can put an end to educating Central and South America's children that trespass on our soil to save come cash while we are at it. The answer is simple, fire all renegade teachers for abandoning their positions and impeach the members of the Legislature that willfully fled the state to obstruct the democratic process. There are plenty of unemployed people that are qualified to babysit children in the public day care program they like to call a school system. Let them have the jobs. As for the AWOL lawmakers, they all violated their oaths to faithfully perform their dities and can be now be removed.

LA Passport Office Security Mindboggling

Los Angeles, CA —I have always said that security should be taken seriously. Security officers should be well screened, well-trained and well-armed and that anything less actually creates more dangerous conditions and vulnerabilities. The security on some government buildings has gone well out-of-control. Our government has wasted untold billions in payments to government contractors for crap America does not want or need. The L.A. Passport office is an example of wasteful spending. First of all who ever heard of an assault or robbery of a passport office clerk? The job is not confrontational or less than pleasant. Issuing travel documents can’t be more dangerous than states issuing drivers licenses. To apply for a passport in person there is an incredible gauntlet that defies imagination. There are nearly a dozen uniformed and armed security officers. Entering the passport offices requires a TSA style search. Cameras, sharp objects, pepper sprays and such are strictly forbidden. Once...

Government, Why Control Entitlement Fraud?

Chicago, IL --In order to collect food stamps, welfare, and those wildly popular cash cards the government won’t demand proof of legal residency or even positive identification of the recipients. Fingerprinting and a little database management could prevent redundant payments, ineligible precipitants, and alike.  Our politicians can be counted upon to obstruct any effort to contain the fraud. The direct deposit of funds into bank accounts allows those on the dole to live anywhere in the world as they collect from as many as 50 states.  Grab a few identities along the way and the sky is the limit!  Around 1970 I learned a trick by a high rolling Chicago lady.  She had furs, jewels and bought a new car every year.  She complained about the cost of her facelift saying everyone was entitled to such elective medical procedures free of charge.    The woman had at least a dozen names on a mailbox at an apartment where she did not even live. Like clockwor...

Is Your State Broke And Begging For A Bailout?

Sacramento, CA— Our favorite Terminator, turned Governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger has declared a fiscal emergency saying California can’t pay its bills after February. He says they will pay vendors with an IOU. That’s not surprising on a state run by Left Wing people that look to enslave their citizens to pay for so much crap nobody wants or needs. Now they look to people in more frugal states to pay for the mess they made. I have a simple solution to help states like California and Illinois through their difficult times. My plan will reduce lots emissions, and also help save the planet. I propose this as a long term solution with no serious side-effects. If this is an emergency like Governor Schwarzenegger any solution should be on the table. Front vehicle license plates are of limited value, create pollution during manufacture and most importantly burns money. Many states like Arizona do fine without them. Legislatures used to meet only once in two years. Now they furiously ma...
