Northwestern Professor Returns to Court in Vicious Chicago River North Murder

Chicago, Illinois — The stage is set once more for a courtroom battle soaked in blood and betrayal. Dr. Wyndham Lathem, once a respected Northwestern University immunology professor, now awaits his retrial for a murder that stunned the city. The killing took place in July 2017. The victim, Trenton Cornell-Duranleau, a 26-year-old hairstylist, was found butchered in his North State Street apartment. He had been stabbed more than 50 times in what authorities described as a twisted, premeditated act of sexual violence. Two men were arrested. Lathem, the academic, and Andrew Warren, a payroll clerk from Oxford, England. While both were convicted, it was Warren who came across as the more violent and unhinged of the two. Back in the United Kingdom, he had been previously convicted of armed kidnapping and sexual assault on another male but those records are hidden from the public by British law. He was no choirboy. Desperate for a conviction, prosecutors cut a deal with Warren to testify...

When are we going to admit we have lost the drug war?

The American culture isn’t just “struggling” with drug abuse. No, we’ve embraced it. Wrapped ourselves in it like a cozy national security blanket. We don’t just have a drug problem. We are the drug problem. Look at the massive drug seizures law enforcement brags about every single day. You’d think we were winning some kind of war, but the truth is clear. If they’re catching that much, imagine how much is actually getting through. A massive percentage of Americans are walking around either blitzed on illegal junk or spaced out on legal drugs that were prescribed like breath mints. And spare me the lecture about Mexico. Their economy would collapse tomorrow if American addicts stopped funding their cartels. We are the cash cow. We’re the reason those drug lords live like royalty. It’s not just a border issue—it’s a business partnership, whether we admit it or not. As a nation, we haven’t just fallen to drug abuse—we’ve faceplanted in it. The only honest solution? Legalize it all. Rip...

Hungry and no money for breakfast? Here is a trick used by LA’s hungry aspiring actors.

Simply sneak into hotel breakfast buffets without being registered guest and rely on your acting chops, confidence, timing, and blending in. Here’s how others usually pull it off, not as advice, but as insight into how it happens: 1.  Confidence and Body Language They walk in like they belong there. Most hotel staff won’t challenge someone who looks confident, well-dressed, and purposeful. Acting nervous or out of place attracts attention. 2. Strategic Timing They show up during peak breakfast hours (usually 7:30–9:00 AM), when it’s busiest. Staff are too occupied refilling food and clearing tables to carefully verify each guest. 3. Use of Props Some bring luggage, a hotel keycard, or a conference badge. Even an old key card from a different hotel can be enough to flash casually if questioned. 4. Entering with a Crowd They tailgate large families or groups walking in. The front desk or host assumes they’re together. 5. Knowledge of Hotel Layout Regulars or those who’ve st...

The Second Civil War Has Already Begun, and Los Angeles Is Ground Zero

Let’s stop pretending. The political left is not just batshit crazy. They are actively pushing this nation toward a second civil war. The first shots are already echoing through the streets of Los Angeles. This is no longer about policy. It is Treason. The simplest, most common-sense compromise solution is to cooperate with ICE by simply identifying known criminal illegal aliens moving through local jails and courts. But the governor of California and the mayor of Los Angeles refuse. They will not even consider it. That tells you everything.   The political Left wants ICE To raid the Home Depot‘s, street vendors, car washes that  round up the least offensive illegal aliens.   Biden’s Auto-Pen operators have openly defied  federal law. Immigration statutes passed by Congress remain in place. Even when Democrats controlled the House, the Senate, and the White House, they did not even try to repeal those laws. They left them alone for a reason. The chaos is intentio...

Our Media and The Death of Truth

Imagine siting in court watching a deep fake video of you committing a horrible crime?  Our news sources are no longer broken. They are rotting from the inside out. What was once the noble fourth estate has become a soulless propaganda machine, weaponized against the very people it was meant to inform. Both the political Left and Right journalism sites have turned into informational danger zones.  He who saturates the world with the most lies wins.  We now know, thanks to the Doge investigation, that the Biden administration funneled millions of taxpayer dollars into the pockets of leftist legacy media outlets. That money bought their obedience. It bought silence. It bought the calculated suppression of facts and the wholesale fabrication of lies, designed to shape public opinion like a cudgel to the skull. These so-called journalists didn’t just fail us. They sold us out. Then came the “fact-checkers,” self-anointed digital inquisitors posing as neutral arbiters of tr...

THE ANARCHIST COOKBOOK: AMERICA’S TIME BOMB IN PRINT.

Somewhere in the rubble of American rebellion and counterculture, a book was born. The Anarchist Cookbook was a how-to manual so dangerous and so incendiary that even its author later tried to disown it. I once had a copy of this notorious title. I didn’t buy it. I took it. I stole it, really, from the headquarters of a violent Chicago street gang during an off-the-books sweep. I had no legal right to seize it, but in my judgment as a former cop, taking that book was a minor crime to prevent a greater evil. It vanished over the decades, but recently, I ordered a new one from Amazon. Not because I needed it, but because we need to talk about it. A Weapon Disguised as a Book The Anarchist Cookbook was first published in 1971. Its author, William Powell, was just 19 years old. He was a disillusioned teenager angry at the Vietnam War and the machinery of American power. He dove into military manuals and chemistry texts, boiling down complex formulas into step-by-step guides for creating...
