Arrogance is taking its toll on Cynthia McKinney as every indication of a looming prosecution; perhaps for felony assault hangs over this Congresswoman. McKinney found out what millions of Americans deal with every day. Those ineffective, intrusive and demeaning warrant-less searches conducted on people who must do business with their own government. As in one celebrated case, a disenfranchised litigant was able to get his revenge at a federal judge’s home. The offensive and un-American searching only provides very limited protection for a price Americans cannot afford, the loss of their freedom, privacy and dignity. McKinney really had her rights as an American stolen under the frisk policy. That should never have happened! McKinney claims race as an issue here. If she’s right guess who suffers the most in the name of security? Minorities of course! If there are to be these programs of wholesale warrant-less frisking, than nobody should be able to avoid the indignity especially the p...

Bureaucrats and politicians have become increasingly heavy handed over the last three decades. These government officials tax more, confiscate more and tread on Americans with ever increasing efficiency. All this government muscle flexing has caused these same officials to become panicky of the citizens whose lives they change. What’s the solution to their angst? Americans entering the buildings are searched just like criminals without a warrant or probable cause. The officials ordering these un-Constitutional outrages are quick to exempt themselves from the indignity as they waive their government identification cards as they bypass the checkpoints. Such is the case within the Halls of Congress. I had to chuckle when I read about Georgia's 4th Congressional District's own Representative, Cynthia McKinney’s latest scuffle with Capitol police at a search checkpoint. McKinney reportedly ignored an officer as she whizzed by as he called for her to stop. When the officer grabbed M...

Give me a break! Daley has shown he does not have the courage to speak out and do the right thing here. The final vote to rename a street after a disgraced, dead urban terrorist thankfully did not happen because of a courageous Alderman (I hope my brothers in blue at the CPD are watching out for his safety). So the ex-convict, Chip Off The Old Block son of the still dead, felon Panther leader Fred Hampton and Bobby Rush are whining as they blame Daley. That’s just too rich for me! If Hampton and Rush’s allegations were somehow true it would win more votes for Daley.

So you’re confident that that .40 caliber S&W service round will keep you safe. Maybe you’ll have second thoughts after you see this video. One hot summer night in 1994 Tempe and Mesa Arizona police were involved in a pursuit with this suspect who ran into a stranger’s apartment to hide after being shot TWICE in the chest. He was shirtless and you can see the blood pumping out of those two wounds. What’s really frightening is just how agile this fellow is as he struts to the ambulance. If he was not handcuffed and had a knife or a gun, ask yourself if he could still hurt you, your partner or a hostage? If your jurisdiction demands that officers carry either the 9MM or the .40 Caliber S&W it’s time to show this video to your bosses and lobby to have the .45 ACP round authorized. The switch may well reduce the screaming by self-appointed community activists about how many rounds police had to use on a suspect. The really talented and courageous video journalist, Karen Ke...

I guess our Bill of Rights is in dire need of CPR. United States Representative Tom Delay who has been the victim of a Democratic vendetta prosecution has had his concealed weapon permit suspended even though he’s been convicted of nothing. The Law and Order zeal of too many of our politicians have written punishment into our laws regarding people accused but not convicted of any crime. I guess we now punish first and try them later these days. Delay’s lawyers are readying their appeal of Justice of the Peace Jim Richards’ order suspending Delay’s permit. Let’s hope the Bill of rights and fundamental due process wins this one!

It seems that Swedish ex-con Stefan Eriksson's wife Nicole Persson, 33, was driving around in Beverly Hills sans a driver’s license and valid registration for her hot little, 2005 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren. The car was impounded by police for investigation of theft. Perhaps now the various law enforcement agencies will now have probable cause to obtain search warrants to snoop through Eriksson’s home, offices, storage facilities and garages to find out more about his life of fraud, fast cars and intrigue. Here’s what the L.A. Times has reported . .

THE HOBBS ACT -- 18 U.S.C. § 1951 is an anti-racketeering statue that bars any interference with interstate commerce. This statue was successfully used by the Justice department to convict several Chicago police officers they claimed interfered with alcoholic beverages destined to be delivered to barroom drinkers. Firearms are almost always shipped in interstate commerce and some cities and states have enacted various gun bans that clearly interfere with delivery to qualified consumers. My question is can people victimized by gun bans seek relief from the federal courts under the Hobbs Act? Let’s call in the GANGBUSTERS!
