Our prisons uniformly hate the idea of making any technology available to inmates.  Prisons and jails by necessity employ really low wattage folks that cannot grasp even the simplest of computer tasks. Right now any mail to inmates must be opened, read and examined for cleverly concealed narcotics.  That costs a bundle and sometimes seriously delays the mail to the inmates. They need not make computers available to inmates but they could create inmate e-mail accounts for purposes of simply receiving the mail.  Two things swill happen.  For one, the inmates will get more mail but the likelihood of smuggled narcotics is totally eliminated.  The second is that it will be a lot easier for staff members to save the communications for intelligence and investigative purposes. If e-mail was instituted it could be a perk granted or withdrawn as inmate behavior dictates.  I’m also a big fan of Skype.com to replace maximum-security non-contact visit...

Washington, DC —America has a long and proud manufacturing tradition that has been banished from our shores. I’m saying banished because the Socialists and Communists in our own Whitehouse, government and Congress are to blame. The manufacturers have all fled extortionate government taxation and excessive demands by labor unions. I’ve always supported the concept of workers being paid fairly if for no other reasons it keeps them off the dole and we all benefit from what they/we consume. The Socialist and Communist traitors also have intentionally regulated business to death. There has been an ongoing effort to destroy productivity and the American way of life. They’re out to replace our form of government with the failed Communist model. Productivity must be rewarded in our system, and instead it’s punished. Instead we reward the ignorant and lazy by robbing those that produce. Our nation cannot survive until every last Communist is purged from our government. The Communists have ma...

Chicago, IL —The city I was born and raised in has become tyrannical and oppressive. Crooked politicians have turned taxpayers into a human ATM machines enslaving them. The time for resistance is long overdue. The best form of resistance is for taxpayers to remove themselves from the city radar . They can only own you if you let them so why would you allow that? In the coming weeks I will tell you how to force these crooks out of your pockets. You can make life miserable and impossible for your slave masters. Let me begin by telling anyone charged with any city ordinance offense to demand a jury trial . Juries won’t convict you any faster than today’s judges but if everyone demanded a jury trial the courts would collapse in a single day. Chicago’s officials could not begin to handle that kind of overwhelming pressure. You can vanish from the extortionists that are out looking for new ways to rob you through their raw power. Stay tuned right here and you will see your magical powe...

Chicago, IL —Former Mayor Richard M. Daley’s tyrannical rule of Chicago endangered the lives of cops. How so you may ask? Daley built an economic wall between citizens and cops thorough his extortionate traffic fines. In the corrupt greed that financed as much as a $1billion in unneeded public works projects like endless miles of dangerous, traffic snarling concrete planter boxes generated campaign contributions from the contractors. I don’t need to tell Chicagoans about taxpayer flight in avoidance of Tax Tyranny. The reality is depressing to say the least. The shady parking meter fiasco along with those mercenary fines, have punished every working citizen of Chicago. Imagine trying feed a family during these difficult times. That as you collect parking tickets because the politicians are ever increasingly creative in their zeal to trap you into various violations. Soon your car gets booted, towed and you’re pushed well beyond the breaking point. Everyone automatically...

Springfield, IL —Illinois is considering ending the requirement for the front plate on cars and trucks. This is a fiscally responsible move that’s long overdue. The primary reason for front license plates has been the intense lobbying effort of the 3M Company , holder of the patent for the special reflective paint every state uses in their manufacturing process. The rear plate is adequate for police plate reading software and the photo traffic extortion revenue programs. In addition to their political lobbying and generous campaign contributions, the 3M Company exhibits at the Nations Sheriff’s and IACP conventions where they recruit police administrators to preserve the unnecessary and expensive front plates. The States of California and Texas would reap the biggest cash bonanza by scrapping the front plate. Contact your legislature if you live in a state that requires two plates and help them curb the wasteful practice.

Taxpayers are in for $1 billion windfall just over the next five years. What’s the rub you ask? That’s what it will cost to deal with the appeals 682 inhabitants of Death Row. If these convicts are simply resentenced to life without the possibility of parole taxpayers will save a bundle. We seem to forget that virtually every Death Row prisoner is indigent and we must pay for both the prosecution and defense legal fees. Cash strapped Sacramento may find the death penalty is a luxury taxpayers can no longer afford. This is a quick fix that will send lawyers and defense investigators like me to the unemployment lines.
