The first and only lesson that should have been burned into the national skull is this: no airline hijacking involving Muslim fanatics has ever ended with the passengers walking off the plane. Not once. Criminals after money or attention sometimes negotiate, land, and walk away. Islamist suicide squads do not. With them, the only rational response is immediate, total, and violent resistance. Hesitate and you die. All of you. Nineteen scrawny Islamic death-cultists seized four airliners. Two hundred forty-six passengers and crew outnumbered them more than twelve to one. Their arsenal? Box cutters and theatrical “bombs.” None of the hijackers stood taller than 5’8”. Most weighed less than the average American woman. I know because I pulled their driving records and photographs myself for the media. These were not Navy SEALs. They were mid-sized fanatics with hardware-store weapons. The arithmetic is insultingly simple. Had the passengers risen as one and treated the cockpit door li...

  Oh, please. Call the (Alternative für Deutschland) AfD “far-right” one more time and the ghost of every actual fascist in history might rise up just to laugh in your face. They are not fascists. They are not Nazis. They are not the second coming of the Reich. They are the only major party in Germany still willing to notice that the emperor has no clothes, and that the clothes were stolen, set on fire, and replaced with a keffiyeh while the legacy media clapped like trained seals. The far-left and their obedient press lapdogs have spent years screaming “Nazi!” at anyone who dares prefer German streets to look German, German schools to teach German, and German women to walk home without calculating escape routes. It was the purest form of political gaslighting: smear the opposition into silence, then act shocked when the opposition refuses to die. Germany finally woke up. The election results didn’t just send “shockwaves.” They sent a tidal wave of pure electoral contempt crashin...

It took a bold conservative party called Alternative for Deutschland to dramatically and decisively unseat the left wing Christian Democratic Party after years of smug complacency. The popularity of the AfD surged primarily in the eastern sections of Germany that endured a brutal and soul crushing communist regime. They thoroughly and clearly understand what the Globalists running the EU in Brussels and the Christian Democratic Party were cynically and greedily doing to tightly keep their hands on power and government corruption. The Christian Democratic Party has relentlessly and shamelessly done nothing but a vicious disinformation campaign to smear the AfD claiming they are Nazis and ultra right wing fanatics. The AfD is far more like a party of George Orwell in its clear eyed truth telling. The Christian Democratic Party has finally and humiliatingly been exposed for what it truly is.  The German people have utterly and completely had enough of illegal immigration by Third W...

Let me begin with the fact that accused killer David Burke is presumed to be innocent until proven guilty by a court of law.  Today, Monday, August 31, 2026, in Los Angeles County Superior Court, David Anthony Burke (known professionally as D4vd) obtained new legal representation for his murder case.  During a pre-trial/arraignment hearing before Judge Charlaine Olmedo, his private defense team (including high-profile attorneys Blair Berk, Marilyn Bednarski, and Regina Peter) withdrew.  I suspect that this was about his inability to pay what Blair Berk demanded as a retainer. The motion to withdraw and substitute council was held in judicial Chambers and the record of what went on has been sealed by the court.  I’m sure that Mr. Burke was ordered to liquidate assets and pay a lesser amount to the public defender.   Burke confirmed in open court that he wanted the Los Angeles County Public Defender’s Office to represent him instead. The judge granted the request ...

On May 4, 1886, socialist and anarchist labor activists assembled at Chicago's Haymarket Square during the bitter campaign for an eight-hour workday. When police ordered the gathering dispersed, someone hurled a bomb into their ranks. Chaotic gunfire followed. Eight Chicago police officers ultimately died from injuries attributed to the attack: Mathias J. Degan, John J. Barrett, George F. Miller, Timothy J. Flavin, Michael Sheehan, Thomas Redden, Nels Hansen, and Timothy Sullivan. Fifty-nine other officers were wounded. August Spies, Albert Parsons, Adolph Fischer, and George Engel were convicted of murder under conspiracy and accomplice-liability theories and hanged on November 11, 1887. Louis Lingg killed himself the previous day. The unidentified bomber was never tried, and none of the executed men was proven to have thrown the bomb. Were they hanged for speech? Technically, no. They were convicted of murder based on an alleged conspiracy to promote and encourage revolutionary v...

On October 5, 2026, the first Monday in October, the United States Supreme Court will begin a new term. This will not be an ordinary term for the Second Amendment. The Court has agreed to hear two major constitutional challenges involving bans on commonly owned semiautomatic rifles: Viramontes v. County of Cook , No. 25-238, challenges Cook County, Illinois’s ban on AR-15 platform rifles and similar semiautomatic firearms. National Association for Gun Rights v. Lamont , No. 25-421, challenges Connecticut’s ban on AR-15-style rifles and magazines holding more than ten rounds. These are not cases about machine guns. They are not cases about military weapons smuggled from an armory. They concern ordinary semiautomatic firearms owned by millions of law-abiding Americans for lawful purposes. The constitutional collision has finally arrived. In New York State Rifle & Pistol Ass’n, Inc. v. Bruen , 597 U.S. 1 (2022), the Supreme Court demolished the interest-balancing test that lowe...

The European Union was sold as a project of trade, cooperation, and peace. What Europe received was an unelected bureaucratic empire increasingly determined to dictate immigration policy, regulate speech, override national sovereignty, and force independent nations into one obedient political mold. Naturally, this is called “progress.” Liberty always receives a pleasant new label just before the political class confiscates it. Socialism and communism remain fashionable among European elites despite a historical record written in prisons, firing squads, secret police files, mass graves, and millions of dead citizens. Apparently, the lesson was not that centralized power produces tyranny. The lesson was that the wrong intellectuals were in charge. These systems cannot tolerate genuine liberty. Free speech exposes them. Due process restrains them. Private firearm ownership frightens them. An independent population is difficult to intimidate, manipulate, or rule by decree. Former German Ch...

It is time for court reporters to surrender to technology. The rest of civilization has discovered digital recording, searchable documents, cloud storage, and instantaneous electronic delivery. Courtrooms, meanwhile, remain fiercely committed to conducting business as though the fax machine were a dangerous new invention. Yes, replacing traditional stenographic reporting would require substantial changes to court rules across the country. That is not a reason to preserve an antiquated and unnecessarily expensive system. Rules exist to serve justice. Justice does not exist to protect a government-sponsored jobs program. Judges and court reporters have worked together for decades, and many judges understandably trust the reporters they know. But institutional friendship is not a legitimate reason to force litigants, defendants, attorneys, journalists, and members of the public to wait days or weeks and pay substantial fees for access to words spoken in a public courtroom. Modern techn...

  California is once again preparing to rock the boat, this time by imposing new training and wage requirements on the private-security industry. California overregulates nearly everything it touches, and that remains one of the defining features of the Boškovic Republic. The timing could hardly be worse.California is approaching the 2028 Olympic Games, an international event that will create security demands far beyond the ordinary needs of office buildings, stores, hotels, parking facilities, warehouses, and residential communities. Los Angeles will need thousands of additional security guards. Instead, the Legislature appears determined to make employing them substantially more expensive. Security guards have traditionally been minimally trained and minimally paid. That is not necessarily admirable, but it is reality. More important, security work is not a one-size-fits-all occupation. Every property has different risks, responsibilities, and expectations. In most cases, prop...

The political war against the Second Amendment backfired spectacularly. Whenever politicians begin demanding another gun ban, Americans respond by buying the very firearms those politicians want to outlaw. Nothing empties a gun-store shelf faster than a politician promising prohibition. The United States already had 300 million privately owned firearms when Congress enacted the federal assault-weapons ban in 1994. That legislation followed several earlier federal restrictions imposed in 1989. Fear of further prohibition helped create waves of purchasing as Americans concluded, quite reasonably, that today’s lawful firearm might become tomorrow’s forbidden weapon. The 1994 federal assault-weapons ban was not permanent. Congress included a ten-year sunset provision, and the ban expired on September 13, 2004. Despite repeated demands from gun-control advocates, Congress declined to renew it. After ten years of experience with the law, Congress allowed it to expire rather than extend a...
