There is a saying in the criminal courts that never stops being true:   “We can’t fix stupid, but we can give it a court date.” Every case starts with a choice. A mistake. A moment. But the justice system loves shortcuts, and one of the biggest lies it sells is that everyone charged must be guilty. That is nonsense.  Not every “victim” is a victim. In self-defense cases, the so-called victim is often the perpetrator. The police show up late, after the fight, after the gunshot, after the blood has already dried and then they guess. They decide who looks innocent, who looks guilty, and who fits the story. The dead or wounded become saints. The survivor becomes the suspect. People lie constantly, especially when the stakes are high. Witnesses lie. Complainants lie. And some will lie under oath with a straight face. Sometimes the investigation is flawed. Sometimes it is lazy. Sometimes it is corrupt. But the end result is the same: an accusation becomes a freight train...

  California, the “Golden State,” has turned into a high-priced plantation for the working poor. There is a massive population of people grinding through menial jobs that pay nothing, going nowhere, and barely surviving. Many are functionally illiterate, politically clueless, and completely unaware they are being squeezed dry by the same Socialist Democrat machine that claims to “care” about them. The taxes are obscene. Food, medicine, fuel, everything you need to stay alive gets taxed like it is a luxury yacht. And who designed this masterpiece of regressive punishment? The one-party ruling class, of course. The Socialist Democrat politicians who hold absolute power and never miss an opportunity to punish the people who actually work. Their entire system depends on dependency. They want a huge population trapped, desperate, and reliant on government crumbs. They make sure working is barely worth it, so handouts look like the smarter option. Then they shift the burden onto the p...

  Today Show anchor Savannah Guthrie is living every family’s nightmare. Her mother, Nancy Guthrie, age 84, has vanished. This is not a routine missing senior case. When elderly people disappear, dementia or cognitive decline is usually the explanation. That is not the case here. Nancy Guthrie has no known mental impairment. She does, however, have mobility limitations and must take daily, life-sustaining medication. Time is already working against her. The seriousness of this case cannot be overstated. The Pima County Sheriff has publicly stated that this is being treated as a criminal investigation, not a simple missing person report. Evidence has been located. Her residence is being processed as a crime scene. Those facts alone should trigger immediate concern. Southern Arizona presents a harsh and dangerous reality. The Pima County area has long been a corridor for illegal border crossings, and residents have repeatedly been victimized by  criminal aliens moving through ...

Democrats insist they are “building the future.” What they are actually trying to build is an army of illegal aliens to do their bidding.   They are so desperate to transform the United States into a centralized, authoritarian state that they imported what they imagine will be their shock troops. They already corrupted large portions of the military and intelligence bureaucracy, especially the upper command. That was not enough. Paper pushers do not intimidate the public. So they opened the border and called it compassion. They welcomed violent criminals, hardened thugs, and people who ran from their own countries rather than fix them. The idea was simple. Flood the nation. Destroy public safety, health care and create fear. Force Americans to surrender to radical political change. Here is the part they did not think through. Their imported foot soldiers have no discipline, no loyalty, and no courage. They were too cowardly to fight for their own homelands, yet Democrats someho...

If you ever wondered what slow motion psychological collapse looks like when filmed entirely through police body cams, 911 recordings, and interrogation room fluorescents, congratulations. This movie is your reward. The Perfect Neighbor is a found footage fever dream stitched together from real audio and video. No actors. No reenactments. Just raw government recordings and the creeping realization that everyone involved is either incompetent, malicious, or terminally stupid. Our star is Susan Lorincz, a lonely, aging Florida woman who checks every box the internet loves to hate. White. Female. Isolated. Angry. Chronically on the phone with 911. Her crime? Living next door to a pack of feral kids with parents who mistook reproduction for parenting. For nearly two years, Lorincz did what the system tells you to do. Call the police. Over and over. She complained about harassment, threats, and escalating behavior. The cops responded with the usual modern law enforcement toolkit. Shrugs....

In the spring of 1968, President Lyndon B. Johnson extended what amounted to a draft notice disguised as an invitation. It was not welcome. It was not optional. It marked the moment my life changed direction. I was nineteen years old and already sworn in with the Cook County Sheriff’s Police, having lied about my age to get there. I thought I had outrun uncertainty. I was wrong. I came from poverty. I was partially raised by a single mother whose life was chaotic and unreliable. By the age of fourteen, circumstances forced me to live on my own. It was not a choice. It was survival. To avoid foster care and the grip of social services, I took responsibility for myself early. I held a full-time job, paid my own rent, and attended high school at the same time. I survived by working at a hot dog stand at Montrose and Broadway while going to Senn High School during the day. Junior ROTC gave me discipline and structure, but it never prepared me for a draft notice. Basic training at Fort Le...
