Washington, DC—Barack Obama knows he is coming off as a weak and ineffective president. His ego can’t take that so will he get us into adventures of yet another war, this time in Iran? Of course he will, because that’s the Presidential thing to do. Wars initially unite Americans but then division begins and we have an unresolved mess and more division than ever.

Sherman Oaks, CA —On the way to lunch in Sherman Oaks yesterday, I pulled out my trusty Flip-HD to give you a look at my world. I hope this and Roy Hargrove's music will help my visitors get their groove. Please enjoy…

Chicago, IL —A violent purse snatcher is captured by bystanders as a professional news photographer documents the criminal’s resistance to a citizen’s arrest. Before it’s over the unidentified thug is bloodied. Had Chicago police officers caused that incidental injury they’d be stripped of the stars, firearms and police powers perhaps for months until they are cleared of wrongdoing or are suspended or fired. As for the hapless mutt, he was eligible for release for a $100.00 cash misdemeanor bond. This fellow is undoubtedly free right now to do his deeds until he gets caught killing someone or gets killed. If you live in Chicago you’re used to avoiding these predatory savages. They are here to stay. Don’t ask the police to risk their lives but also the ability to feed their families by confronting and arresting criminals. Chicago police have been transformed to observe and report rather than actually enforce the law. Go ahead brush up on your unarmed combat skills so you can waste a who...

Chicago, IL —City officials know the days of Chicago’s gun ban will be over by next summer. The reason is very simple Chicago’s politicians have been violating their citizens Civil Rights for nearly three decades. Today the polls are showing that an overwhelming majority of Chicago’s citizens want the gun ban scrapped. The right to possess firearms and use it for self-protection is a right to survive. It’s difficult for me to imagine people willingly giving up the right of self-defense, but if you can remember the Nazis had no trouble getting Jews to line up orderly, disrobe and accept being executed. Chicago is currently being run by a gang of criminals that hold office. They have turned taxation into extortion and are looting the city dry. They can be counted on to try and turn Chicago’s gun registration laws into their very own ATM machine. They cannot tax you for enjoying a right or they’d still have poll taxes in the South. Of course they know that it will take years for a le...

Phoenix, AZ -Nearly a decade ago I met a pretty lady in Phoenix. She had a couple of guitars and I learned she was a singer and actress. Darl Chryst was introduced to me by former, A Current Affair and now KTVK-TV’s ace reporter Mike Watkiss . Chryst was not famous, at least by my standards and I never heard her sing until now. There are those lucky people that discovered this lady in local venues where they could hear this gifted songbird do her magic. Sometimes amazing talent never finds the right venue. Everyday life, family and day jobs steal a lot of great entertainment from our eyes and ears. YouTube is amazing because you don’t need to be related to or sleep with someone to get a chance at stardom. It is truly an equal opportunity venue. Learn more about Chryst here. I think this lady’s time in the sun is overdue.

Springfield, IL —For every struggling, taxpaying citizen, this month you will get a rude surprise from your leaders. That $15.00 Driver’s license renewal fee is now $35.00. Because you must produce a driver’s license or face jail they have you by the balls. The ultimate extortion demand is on your plate. Pay or go to jail. There is no reason for taxpayers to continue living under these conditions. Illinois politicians have become ruthless pirates that must be and can be stopped. When does the resistance begin? When do the homes of public officials start to burn down unexpectedly? When do public official’s faces begin to show up on milk cartons? Perhaps it’s time to make sure that our aldermen, county board members, legislators, and mayors beef up their personal security. Perhaps some broken windows, slashed tires and displays of sheer anger might help get these pirate’s minds right. It’s a small start. This is not an issue of Democrat vs Republican but one much more sinister, slav...

Chicago, IL —The pro- Obama/Daley forces are screaming today. That are passing the blame around to everyone they can. They’re mad because too many of them gambled their personal fortunes of getting the games in Chicago. I hope to see some bankruptcies filed by the politically connected losers that speculated with land investments. The blame needs to rest squarely on the shoulders of the Obama/Daley/Burke Crime Families . This was about dodging the world class corruption Chicago is so famous for. Why should wonderful young athletes from all over the world be tainted by the extortion, bribery, and savage violence in Chicago? Thankfully Chicago's politicians could not silence bloggers like Second City Cop or myself. Many people wrote letters to the IOC urging them to not dishonor the Olympians by holding the games in Chicago. There were the videos on YouTube and thankfully the IOC did the right thing for Chicago’s taxpayers. This is not an issue of Republicans, Democrats, ...

In a society where even local government can’t resist taking control of absolutely every aspect of our lives, sooner or later they run out of our money. They are perennially and relentlessly expanding their turf and responsibilities. Our political incumbents learned long ago that the best way to get campaign contributions is to hand out lucrative contracts for crap we don’t need to savvy parasites willing to bribe. Tax revenue is diverted from simple things we do need like police and fire protection along with schools and libraries. Of course our politicians arrange to have exquisitely furnished palatial surroundings that reinforce their own importance. The incumbent politicians stay awake nights dreaming of things that they can build. Since they can only build government buildings they must next fill them with people doing all kinds of make-work projects. When these guardians of the public trust run out of our money for the things we do need they play the only game they know, exto...

Copenhagen, Denmark —They all came to grovel before the International Olympic committee. Barack & Michelle Obama with Mayor Richard M. Daley along with Billionaire Obama hanger-on, Oprah Winfrey . Yep, they all brought their knee pads. Despite a city evenly split for and against hoisting the games, an African-American community actively engaged in a self-genocide campaign and the reality of local taxpayers paying off debts for the next five decades, Chicago’s worst whined, begged and probably bribed a bunch of the IOC honchos for the corruption opportunity of a lifetime. How much money was ripped from the pockets of American families to fund that nonsense? Will Valerie Jarrett now have to file bankruptcy? She owns all that land they planed to condemn for the games. Maybe she can donate the land for those midnight basketball programs! I guess Obama and the Chicago Mob have lost their clout. How many setbacks will it take before these parasites let go? Will we have to use force and...

Los Angeles, CA —In a bankrupt state that is trying to figure a way to release 60,000 criminals from their prisons, it’s obvious that fugitive film director Roman Polanski is serving as pure entertainment. Is this just a way for L.A. County DA Steve Cooley to get some much needed press attention? I know that despite a broken plea agreement, the fact that Polanski actually already served prison time or there was judicial and prosecutorial misconduct, many Americans want Polanski punished even more. Public safety is hardly an issue since Polanski has not set foot on American soil in over three decades. At age 76, Polanski is incapable of ever committing any similar crimes again. To facilitate the extradition taxpayers will be required to spend a bundle litigating the issue in a Swiss court. After that they must arrange secure taxpayer funded transportation and housing getting Polanski to Los Angeles. That is far from cheap. Once Polanski arrives, tax payers get punished some more while...

Phoenix, AZ —I personally lobbied at the Arizona Legislature on gun control issues for many years. I’d like to think the concealed weapon law that exists passed with my personal influence. Most of the language including the provision to keep the records private I wrote myself. The primary sponsor of that Legislation was the late, Dave Carson who served in the House of Representatives from Prescott. It was a hard fought battle that was nothing short of a stunning success. People with the permits were stopping crimes and those people committing gun crimes never have the permits. Law enforcement officers are comfortable on traffic stops when motorists flash the permits. The law unquestionably enhances public safety. Finally the law was amended so you can have dinner in a restaurant that serves alcohol and carry your permitted concealed weapon. You can even be present in a tavern provided you’re not drinking alcoholic beverages. Bills to allow that passed before but were vetoed b...

Los Angeles, CA -There was once a little guy of Five-feet-four with a slight build. He answered the call of duty during World War Two where he was seriously wounded and earned a Bronze Star and Purple Heart. This tenacious little man made a big impact during his time on this earth. This man was a writer breaking ground in the new media of television entertainment. His writing covered a lot of ground but his flashback nightmares of the war gave him ideas for his most memorable and wonderful TV series, Twilight Zone . Twilight Zone first came to our television sets 50 years ago in October of 1959. The Twilight Zone treatment and a few of its early 20 minute scripts sat idle and grew hair for 11 years until some CBS suit took a gamble on this strange show and gave it a green light. The series ran for five years and featured some wonderful actors including my dear friend, actress Ann Jillian who at age 13 starred in an episode called, The Mute. Steven Spielberg made his film trilogy...
