Having been convicted and sentenced in U.S. District Court, the trial judge, Rebecca R. Pallmeyer rejected Ryan’s request for his freedom pending the appeal of his case. Had the judge granted Ryan’s request he may not have lived long enough to ever see a prison cell. Ryan was ordered to report to prison for his 6 ½ year stretch this January. Ryan will not get much sympathy form the cops and death penalty supporters in Illinois. Ryan freed every Illinois Death Row prisoner from execution. Of course that included a number of cop killers. I know a lot of cops that are cheering the latest judge’s ruling. I, on the other hand can’t support the death penalty because of both the potential to kill an innocent man and that I don’t want our government to have the power to kill our own citizens. It’s a power that every government abuses sooner or later. Ryan hated gun owners and their rights and that's another group that's cheering for Ryan's current fate. Ryan’s corruption was...

Click on the picture to enlarge. I have to laugh about better times in our country’s schools. Schools were never really a safe haven. There were always bullies and various threats that are really a part of life. In many American schools carrying a little insurance against a superior force was normal behavior. The gangs were always here. They’ve existed since the beginning of time. Until recent times We did not have a system to spread bad news quickly to every American. That soon changed with radio and the television that followed. Americans learned the gory details about murders and soon copycat criminals emulated the media created celebrities who got caught harming others. Today there is no escape from instant media notification about every school kid with a bloody nose. When I was a first grader I remember the corner candy store by my school. Prominently displayed on the counter was a cardboard sales rack with those gleaming, Italian stiletto knives. You know the push butt...

The message of Liberal talk radio and news broadcasting network, Air America has fallen on deaf ears. A lack of listeners and advertisers has put Air America in Chapter 11 bankruptcy. This bankruptcy move will allow Air America a little breathing room to continue with a plan to survive and begin profitability. I say it’s a lost cause for the financially strapped propaganda network. There are just not enough English speaking, Leftist radio listeners to keep this outfit afloat. Their next step? Chapter 7 bankruptcy and silence. On the other side of the coin are the profitable Conservative broadcast organizations that have no shortage of listeners. This phenomenon is a reliable sign of the America’s rejection of the Liberal political platform. I do have a great plan for Al Franken and the other members of the Air America talent department. They can always sell their broadcast to folks suffering from insomnia as quick and cheap cure for their sleeplessness.

I long suspected who and what was behind the publicity overdrive on actor Mel Gibson’s recent DUI arrest in Malibu. I could not help but focus my thoughts on the arresting deputy who happens to be Jewish as the source of leaked reports and perhaps a retaliation campaign to embarrass the tipsy actor. TMZ.com published a story today about a search warrant being served on Deputy Mee in connection of leaking four pages of an early report of Gibson’s arrest. TMZ’s Top Gun, Harvey Levin was the happy recipient of the unlawfully leaked records and proceeded to beat that story to death screaming about a Sheriff’s cover-up of Mel Gibson’s bigoted verbal tirade. Harvey Levin is a lawyer and knows full well that racially insensitive speech, even made by a drunken driver is protected in America under the First Amendment. Since the insensitive speech is not a crime it’s incredibly inappropriate for a cop to include a four-page summary of the speech with in a report about a crime. That's esp...

These cameras were fine when placed in high crime areas to watch the usual suspects killing each other. Now Mayor Richard M. Daley has promised that they will be installed on every block in the city. Imagine the city bureaucrats in possession of video showing the only kind of action that goes on in Chicago’s safest neighborhoods, cheating spouses. The only benefit of these cameras would be to provide incumbent politicians and bureaucrats a way to spy on their rivals and potential rivals. Of course the taxpayers get to pick up the tab. The nosy bastards running the City of Chicago should be forced to hire PIs for this spying out of their own pockets.

The U.S. Department of Justice has announced bringing the first indictment for Treason in over 50 years against 28 year-old, Adam Gadahn. Okay this little Southern California grown turncoat has turned on his own country and his on family’s way of life. Gadahn has given aid and comfort to our enemies. Why are they only indicting Gadahn? What about all those past and present members of Congress that have done as much or even worse? What about all the rogue educators? Let’s not forget Jane Fonda and John Kerry’s contributions to disloyalty and treason. Gadahn is merely a kid with zero influence or power. Gadahn has also seen American politicians take sides with our enemies without punishment. Gadahn is only following the example set by others. Even Adam Gadahn deserves equal protection that we’ve provided for all the other traitors in America. I say indict them all or none.

We will soon be in that month long period of the November Sweeps. That’s when the news becomes even more sensational as they will do anything to make you watch a news show. Be ready for that out-of–control pandering to you fear. If you have no fear, don’t worry; they will do their best to make you afraid. It’s still a month away but producers and reporters are busy dreaming up this crap to broadcast even when they should be sleeping. Fear is the number one emotion exploited by the news media. They must think we’ve lost sight of the fact that we’re all going to die. If we live long enough we will get cancer or a host of other fatal ailments. That’s if we don’t die as a result of an accident or even a murder. Do you want to create a national November news story? Just leave your lunch in a knapsack in a very public place. Stand by and watch the news media spend hours covering the bomb squad as they disarm that salami on rye sandwich and apple inside. As the media covers health iss...

Most cops know that police superintendents and chiefs never seem to come from the ranks of working street cops. They are too often are administrative types who will do anything and everything they can to avoid police work. The types most likely to get the top spot almost always seem to have the least real police experience. Today I had a sad revelation that far to little information is available about the former chiefs and superintendents of the Chicago Police Department. There once was an informational display in the lobby of police headquarters but it’s been since removed. Finding out who these guys were and what they did is shrouded in mystery today. To help put this shameful mishandling of police history in perspective I will tell a story I know of the late Superintendent, James M. Rochford . Other than this story, I can’t tell you much more about this giant of a cop. Hostage negotiations, SWAT teams or the Chicago Hostage Barricade Team did not exist when this story unfolded...

Cops and hotdogs go together. That was especially true in Chicago where there was a gauntlet of hotdog stands within a block of the old O’Brien Street police academy. The Vienna Sausage Company was also nearby flavoring the air. While getting a cop’s education you could not avoid at least several meals at these stands that were on the old Maxwell Street Market. As hotdogs go these were the very best found anywhere on our planet. Chicago and New York are the hotdog centers of the Universe. Hotdogs were the original fast food and a natural for cops on the go. Nathan’s dogs from New York are a close second to Vienna and are another example of fine dog dining. With your properly dressed dog you get French fries and a soft drink and I don’t mean the diet variety. It was easy for growing, baby coppers to down two of those torpedoes in one sitting. Today, Jim's Original, the real grandfather of the Chicago dog sits on the land of the old O'Brian Street academy. When I moved to P...

NICKEL MINES, Pa. - Little girls were viciously slaughtered by that 32 year-old madman, Charles Carl Roberts, IV last week in this humble little town. The vile details of Roberts’ intentions defy any logical understanding. That twisted soul had no prior criminal history and apparently just snapped. In all my years I never can recall a similar event happening anywhere. Most of us live in a cold society where revenge, retribution and punishment are foremost in this age of Victim’s Rights. We have cheerleaders for punishment and hate in the likes of Court TV’s Nancy Grace and America’s Most Wanted creator, John Walsh. Anger and hate fill too many peoples’ lives these days. Hate does not belong in our justice system, but punishment does. The Amish lost far too many of their precious daughters and their grief must be mind numbing to say the least. It's a faith and trust in God along with their way of life that brought these close knit people to forgive and move on. Perhaps their...

We know all about Jerry, he’s one of the most extreme Left Wing politicians in the country. Brown’s values are right out of Karl Marx’s Communist Manifesto. He is a lot of things but a loyal American is not one of them. Brown is running for Attorney General of California where he’s been Oakland’s Mayor. Oakland was on the forefront of the fight to teach children the second language of “Ghetto Ebonics” in school a while back. I guess it’s a way to guarantee Oakland’s children stay mired in the Socialist quicksand of poverty and don’t become Conservatives as a result of success. Brown’s campaign commercials are outrageously dishonest, in his attempt to exploit fear while falsely claiming the support of the rank and file of California’s cops. Police bosses appointed by gun-rights hating politicians support gun laws. The officers in the trenches hate laws that prevent the law abiding from protecting themselves and families from criminals. Real working cops know that gun laws only af...

Fox Tower AKA The Nakatomi Building in Century City by day Okay, I’m having too much fun with YouTube these days. I found this little project of a twisted mind to watch. Yes, someone is in mourning for the tragic death of Hans Gruber at the hands of NYPD officer John McLane . If you never noticed before Gruber’s gun is the great HK-P7-M-13 rarely found in satin chrome. It was a fitting piece for the ultimate terrorist gentleman.
