If I need you, I’ll page you! Ouch!


Beirut, Lebanon—In a turn of events that even Hollywood couldn’t script, Hezbollah just got a mouthful of their own medicine. Israel has been making waves, laser-targeting Hamas and other terror leaders by exploiting cell phone vulnerabilities like a hacker in a spy thriller.

To dodge these high-tech takedowns, the terrorists thought they'd outsmart the system by dusting off some 90s relics—pagers. Yes, you read that right. Apparently, pagers are “unhackable,” but there’s one little hiccup: they’re one-way communication devices. Not exactly cutting-edge, but hey, it allowed them to shoot off a mass page and summon their foot soldiers for military action. Low-tech and effective... until it wasn't.


In a desperate rush, Hezbollah bought up a batch of pagers. Now, where they found these ancient gadgets is anyone’s guess—eBay? A RadioShack that never closed? But credit goes to some real Einstein who figured out a way to booby-trap them. These pagers came with a “special delivery”—an explosive surprise rigged with buckshot. One mass call later, a series of pager bombs wiped out Hezbollah’s finest in the blink of an eye. Eight top fighters were turned into history books, and another 3000 were maimed, some beyond recognition.


Medical resources? Completely overwhelmed. Terrorists? Benched—some permanently. Talk about a tactical takedown!


No one’s claiming responsibility for this inventive military strategy, but all eyes are on Israel. Hezbollah is vowing revenge, but with most of their fighters now wearing hospital gowns, good luck with that!


Adding insult to injury, paranoia has gripped the ranks. Who’s going to trust any communication device now? The mere thought of checking messages could trigger their newly acquired PTSD. Fighting a war without communications? That’s like playing chess blindfolded.


And let’s be real: Iran might want to sit this one out. Israel's got a nuclear hammer, and Iran’s looking pretty light in the arsenal department.

A 40 Caliber Nightmare Is Caught On Tape.

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...

The origin of the feature film, COME FRIDAY…

CLick On the pictures to see full size versions. Long ago there was a young lady I had the hots for in a big way (Yes, I know that hots is not a word). She was pretty, incredibly bright, and had some real elegance about her. She had a love for children and basic kindness that you don’t often see in someone her age. I met her parents and could understand she came from a much more stable home than mine. I was raised by a single, welfare mom and suddenly found myself way out-classed. For whatever reasons things did not workout they way I had hoped. Sadly for me, we went on our separate ways. From time to time I’d run into this lady in various places where our job had taken us. Whenever this happened my heart would skip a beat or two. I left my hometown Chicago, and moved to Arizona where I founded my detective agency. As a private eye and soon a TV news producer too, my career took me to the highest profile criminal events in Arizona and throughout the country. There’s no question that ...

America Will See Its Worst Race Riot Yet This Summer

Star Prosecution Witness, Rachel Jeantel Sanford, FL —Yes, the George Zimmerman trial here has thousands of African-Americans getting ready for some serious bloodletting. I don’t want to make idle and dire predictions but this nation has never been so divided and racially sensitive.  Our African-American President took sides on this case at the very beginning.  That ratified a George Zimmerman guilty verdict in the minds of millions. There’s just one little problem, and that is the murder case should have never been filed.  It was filed purely for political reasons despite the fact that it was a simple justifiable homicide.  Zimmerman was on the block watch lookout program and followed a suspicious Trayvon Martin after he used an improper entrance to a gated community.  Zimmerman was acting as the eyes and ears of the Sanford Police Department. Martin did not like being followed and knew that he could easily beat up the out-of-shape...
