J. Edgar Hoover clung to the FBI director’s chair like a barnacle on a battleship from May 10, 1924, until his final micromanaging breath on May 2, 1972, a nearly 48-year reign of wiretaps, blackmail, and stylishly ominous fedoras. He outlasted eight presidents, proving that he didn’t just serve under them he obviously had dirt on all of them: 1. Calvin Coolidge (1923-1929) Probably too quiet to be blackmailed. 2. Herbert Hoover (1929-1933)  No relation, but still got bossed around. 3. Franklin D. Roosevelt (1933-1945)  Tried to rein him in. Failed. 4. Harry S. Truman (1945-1953) Called the FBI a Gestapo. Not wrong. 5. Dwight D. Eisenhower (1953-1961) A general, yet still no match for J. Edgar’s dossiers. 6. John F. Kennedy (1961-1963) Well let’s not get into that. 7. Lyndon B. Johnson (1963-1969) The only guy who might have been as ruthless as Hoover. 8. Richard Nixon (1969-1974) Paranoid, but Hoover was two steps ahead. Hoover was the ultimate deep-state puppet mast...

For decades, I’ve worked as a criminal defense investigator, primarily for high profile paying clients. Along the way, I’ve taken on pro bono cases, driven by a sense of duty to ensure justice prevails. But now, my career has taken an exciting turn. After a substantial pay increase to conduct defense investigations funded by the courts, I’ve fully immersed myself in this world. I now have seven clients—most of whom have rejected public defenders or court-appointed attorneys. They’re accused of heinous crimes, cases that seem impossible on the surface. Some might say these are hopeless causes, but I see something different. The reality is, many of these cases  are  actually triable. Some of my clients will be acquitted, while others will avoid harsh, unwarranted sentences. The challenge lies in uncovering the truth that the system often overlooks—or even suppresses. There’s no greater satisfaction than restoring freedom to someone who has been wrongfully accused or seriously ov...

The devastation of Pacific Palisades and Altadena wasn’t just a natural disaster—it was the inevitable consequence of California’s disastrous Democrat leadership. The unchecked wildfires that obliterated entire neighborhoods weren’t some freak accident; they were the result of years of mismanagement, environmental negligence, and a refusal to prioritize public safety over radical policies. Now, the aftermath is just as grim. The land is scorched beyond recognition, leaving behind thousands of tons of toxic debris that must be painstakingly removed. Critical infrastructure—water, sewage, gas lines, electricity—must be rebuilt from nothing. And then, of course, there’s the question of those once amazing homes. What was once vibrant communities has been reduced to lifeless ruins, and rebuilding from the ground up will take decades—if it ever happens at all. But here’s the real tragedy: The displaced residents cannot afford to wait. They need shelter now. They need jobs now. And they kn...

Today more than ever we are a surveillance society.  We are caught on video nearly everywhere we go in an urban area.  The cell phones we carry track us. Every time we make a purchase, there’s some kind of record.  This modern data will condemn the guilty or free the innocent.  Eye witnesses have been replaced in courtrooms by custodians of records that bring virtually unimpeachable evidence into court rooms.  A good defense investigator can mine the data that will uncover the truth. In the past, unreliable eye witness testimony often dictated the outcome of criminal investigations. Today, however, we have a wealth of technological evidence that can objectively verify or disprove a suspect’s whereabouts at the time of a crime. If you can accurately recall where you were, multiple forms of data can be gathered to support your claim, including: Surveillance Footage – Cameras are everywhere, from convenience stores to ATMs, gas stations, and traffic intersection...

The politicians behind the Gun Control Act of 1934 either didnât understand firearms or deliberately ignored reason and logic. In response to Prohibition-era gang wars, they aimed to make firearms less dangerous but failed, categorizing practical tools like short-barreled rifles (SBRs) alongside machine guns and explosives. This wasn’t just overreach it was a direct attack on personal liberty and common sense. Short-barreled rifles are essentially pistols with a shoulder stock, making them easier to handle, improving accuracy, and reducing accidents. These enhancements particularly benefit individuals with physical limitations, such as the elderly or those with arthritis. Ironically, better accuracy during Prohibition-era gang conflicts might have reduced collateral damage by minimizing harm to bystanders. Yet lawmakers chose to vilify a firearm design that could have improved safety for everyone. Modern solutions, like pistol braces, have exposed the absurdity of the SBR ban. Acting...

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass stands as a glaring example of failed leadership, dangerous ideology, and catastrophic negligence, leaving the city vulnerable to death, disaster and despair. Her troubling past includes direct involvement with ruthless Marxist organizations, notably the Venceremos Brigade in the 1970s, a group dedicated to supporting Fidel Castro’s oppressive Cuban regime. Bass repeatedly traveled to Cuba during this time, openly aligning herself with mass murderers, like Castro and Che Guevara. Supporting dictators who trample on freedom and human rights is a damning stain on her record and underscores her unfitness to lead any free society. Where was the media during the elections, and why did they actively shield this treacherous woman’s past? Karen Bass, with her long political career, has benefited from a complicit media eager to cover up her actions and enable her destructive mission. This raises serious concerns about the media’s role as not just passive observers b...

  Las Vegas, NV — The 2025 SHOT SHOW once again proved why it’s the premier event for firearm enthusiasts. Having attended these shows for as long as I can remember, I still find them thrilling. While the public isn’t< invited, a robust media presence—including vloggers and bloggers—ensures everyone gets a glimpse of the latest innovations, even if they can’t handle the products themselves. Firearm enthusiasts know that the core technology of firearms hasn’t fundamentally changed in over a century. The modern case cartridge, which integrates the bullet, powder, and primer into a single unit, was invented in 1808 by Jean Samuel Pauly. His groundbreaking design laid the foundation for later advancements, such as the rimfire cartridge by Flobert in 1845 and the centerfire designs by Boxer and Berdan in the mid-19th century. The last major innovation came in 1884 when Paul Vieille introduced smokeless gunpowder, revolutionizing firearm reliability and efficiency. Since then, the fo...
