If this story is true the thief needs to be put in chains. It seems Cynthia McKinney used our tax money to fly Isaac Hayes to her Georgia Congressional district. Yes, she’s the one who likes surrounds herself with black celebrities. She just brought in two Ebony Hollywood types to stand by as she gave her, “I Can’t Talk Because Of My Lawyer’s Advice”, press conference last week. This is not about ethics but about theft. Her alleged assault on a Capitol police officer and her subsequent attempt to smear the working cop for protecting her and the other members on Congress is really disgusting. I hope she’s soon shown the exit door of the Capitol building and the entrance door to Club Fed.

Today the US Attorney unsealed an Information charging film director, John McTiernan with making false statements to the FBI. It’s alleged that on February 13, 2006, that McTiernan misled FBI agents about hiring disgraced former private investigator Anthony Pellicano to conduct a wiretap of film producer Charles Roven in order to intercept his telephone conversations. An Information is a charging document in lieu of an Indictment that strongly indicates a deal has already been struck between McTiernan and the government in exchange for information and testimony. Attorneys John Carlton and Arnold & Porter are representing McTiernam. In better days McTiernam and Roven collaborated as producers in the 2002 film, ROLLERBALL .

Click on the photos to enlarge them and look at the filth... We all know and accept that shopping carts at our local grocery are some the least sanitary items we come into contact with. After all, they're used by countless strangers who may be coughing or sneezing as they shop. With our humanity and its diseases such as hepatitis, tuberculosis and HIV this place is unhealthy to say the least. Indeed grocery shopping carts can host unseen biohazard landmines. Somehow I suspect that the supermarket employees who actually handle food within the meat, fish and deli departments also must handle those disgusting carts. They are required to wash their hands after using bathroom facilities but how about after pushing those carts? There is a special place in Venice CA where the problem is beyond epidemic. Aside from all the disease issues Ralphs’ carts are truly visual stomach turners. The Ralphs store located at 910 Lincoln Blvd, Venice, CA 90291 may well be the dirtiest store in the enti...

There are people put on this earth who have a great purpose. Such a man was Gerry Cullity, the first director I worked under as an actor. More than a Scottsdale community theater director, Gerry was a teacher and someone who inspired me at age 50 to dream the impossible dream. I auditioned for Gerry in his production of; ONE FLEW OVER THE CUKOO’S NEST. I was cast as Dr. Spivey, the psychiatrist who was Nurse Ratchet’s wimpy boss. Gerry was a classically-trained musician, with a Masters Degree in Fine Arts from the prestigious Mason Gross School of Fine Arts He built an impressive list of credits as an actor, director, playwright, lyricist and musician, holding residency status with numerous companies, including the New Jersey Shakespeare Festival, The Whole Theatre Company, La Mama and New Mercury Theatre Company. Gerry with his wife Laurie and mother Joan Thompson founded Desert Stages back in January 1997. Primarily Desert Stages was a children’s theater where the luckiest Arizona c...

Arrogance is taking its toll on Cynthia McKinney as every indication of a looming prosecution; perhaps for felony assault hangs over this Congresswoman. McKinney found out what millions of Americans deal with every day. Those ineffective, intrusive and demeaning warrant-less searches conducted on people who must do business with their own government. As in one celebrated case, a disenfranchised litigant was able to get his revenge at a federal judge’s home. The offensive and un-American searching only provides very limited protection for a price Americans cannot afford, the loss of their freedom, privacy and dignity. McKinney really had her rights as an American stolen under the frisk policy. That should never have happened! McKinney claims race as an issue here. If she’s right guess who suffers the most in the name of security? Minorities of course! If there are to be these programs of wholesale warrant-less frisking, than nobody should be able to avoid the indignity especially the p...

Bureaucrats and politicians have become increasingly heavy handed over the last three decades. These government officials tax more, confiscate more and tread on Americans with ever increasing efficiency. All this government muscle flexing has caused these same officials to become panicky of the citizens whose lives they change. What’s the solution to their angst? Americans entering the buildings are searched just like criminals without a warrant or probable cause. The officials ordering these un-Constitutional outrages are quick to exempt themselves from the indignity as they waive their government identification cards as they bypass the checkpoints. Such is the case within the Halls of Congress. I had to chuckle when I read about Georgia's 4th Congressional District's own Representative, Cynthia McKinney’s latest scuffle with Capitol police at a search checkpoint. McKinney reportedly ignored an officer as she whizzed by as he called for her to stop. When the officer grabbed M...

Give me a break! Daley has shown he does not have the courage to speak out and do the right thing here. The final vote to rename a street after a disgraced, dead urban terrorist thankfully did not happen because of a courageous Alderman (I hope my brothers in blue at the CPD are watching out for his safety). So the ex-convict, Chip Off The Old Block son of the still dead, felon Panther leader Fred Hampton and Bobby Rush are whining as they blame Daley. That’s just too rich for me! If Hampton and Rush’s allegations were somehow true it would win more votes for Daley.

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...

I guess our Bill of Rights is in dire need of CPR. United States Representative Tom Delay who has been the victim of a Democratic vendetta prosecution has had his concealed weapon permit suspended even though he’s been convicted of nothing. The Law and Order zeal of too many of our politicians have written punishment into our laws regarding people accused but not convicted of any crime. I guess we now punish first and try them later these days. Delay’s lawyers are readying their appeal of Justice of the Peace Jim Richards’ order suspending Delay’s permit. Let’s hope the Bill of rights and fundamental due process wins this one!

It seems that Swedish ex-con Stefan Eriksson's wife Nicole Persson, 33, was driving around in Beverly Hills sans a driver’s license and valid registration for her hot little, 2005 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren. The car was impounded by police for investigation of theft. Perhaps now the various law enforcement agencies will now have probable cause to obtain search warrants to snoop through Eriksson’s home, offices, storage facilities and garages to find out more about his life of fraud, fast cars and intrigue. Here’s what the L.A. Times has reported . .

THE HOBBS ACT -- 18 U.S.C. § 1951 is an anti-racketeering statue that bars any interference with interstate commerce. This statue was successfully used by the Justice department to convict several Chicago police officers they claimed interfered with alcoholic beverages destined to be delivered to barroom drinkers. Firearms are almost always shipped in interstate commerce and some cities and states have enacted various gun bans that clearly interfere with delivery to qualified consumers. My question is can people victimized by gun bans seek relief from the federal courts under the Hobbs Act? Let’s call in the GANGBUSTERS!

The millions of alien criminals, yes I said criminals are now protesting any laws that involve immigration law enforcement. Some of the protesters proudly carry Mexican flags. What’s that about? They voted with their feet to leave their own corrupt Socialist homeland yet they waive the Mexican flag on our soil? I’m sorry I just don’t get it. The American Liberals cant seem to decide if they want strong unions or the labor free-for-all with the alien invasion. They can’t have it both ways. Instead of these disenfranchised Mexicans invading America, they need to take back their own country and demand a free market system. They need to send their Mexican politicians at gunpoint into exile instead of fleeing here. The Mexican government’s only effort has been to export their crime, poverty and ignorance North of the border and that must stop. The United States needs to send a message to Mexico telling them they have all of the natural resources we have and they need to change or lose all ...

You saw that Knife Vs. Gun Video . Now See the all too graphic results! The good news is that he was only slashed and not stabbed! These three links are not for the squeamish! 1. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v243/jindydiver/Knife.jpg 2. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v243/jindydiver/Knife-2.jpg 3. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v243/jindydiver/Knife-1.jpg

As of July 1, 2006 the law-abiding citizens will be able to carry a concealed weapon for defensive purposes. At the same time the job related hazards that come with rape, robbery and murder increased for criminals. The Kansas Legislature steam-rolled over that Bolshevik Governor who vetoed the bill that was passed earlier. Hopefully that governor will also be sent by voters to permanent retirement from public office. Now it's time for the ever decreasing handful of Bolshevik states to follow the leaders back to the Constitution.

I don’t think our founding fathers would be too pleased about what’s going on in Kansas. It seems we’ve paid so much in taxes that our politicians and the bureaucrats they’ve appointed can waste our money on the newest Big Brother technology to keep us citizens under tight control. They have made everything including freedom illegal and now comes the big hammer. Whenever the police make a traffic violation or other street stop they’re going to take our fingerprints and electronically submit them to that giant fingerprint database in the sky. I guess as technology improves we can all have RFID tags so we will never be lost again! Why bother just keeping tabs on sex offenders or people out on bail awaiting trial when everyone can join that club! Of course there are those people that feel the Bill of Rights is only something to protect criminals rather than a way to keep government out of our personal affairs. They will think this is wonderful. Ted Kaczynski is sitting in a tiny super-ma...

We’ve got a serious question for Mayor Richard M. Daley and his appointed Superintendent of Police, Phil Cline. We are waiting for these two leaders show a little spine and decide what side of this street naming insult they have taken. They are free to agree with naming a street after a convicted felon who was awaiting trial for kidnapping and torturing someone while advocating the murders of cops at the time of his well deserved death. They can also do the right thing and not be a party to creating a new icon for Chicago’s children under some “martyred hero”, twisted image. That would not be fair to the children or the families of cops murdered and maimed during the Black Panther reign of terror during the 1960s. Daley, Cline where do you stand?

Long ago I was a young police recruit with a fondness for firearms. Gun shows were always an enjoyable experience for me. On day I met a gentleman who stood out from the “redneck” crowd exhibiting at the show. He was a Sikh from India complete with the trademark beard and turban that produced some exotic handgun grips. By trade and education this immigrant was an engineer working for the State of Illinois. This was an additional way for him to make a little extra money to support his wife and three young children. The grips he had on display were unusual, beautiful and functional. For starters they were rosewood and ebony wood. I bought a pair from him for my S&W model 60 .38 five shot revolver. Later I’d see the man at other gun shows and we became good friends. One day that man, Harbans Singh quit his full time job jumping into the grip business with both feet. Singh called his company, Eagle Grips. I soon found myself meddling in research, product development and design for thi...

It’s with a heavy heart I write this story. It’s my tribute to a personal hero. The last time I spoke with Ray Meyer was in 1955. I was a first grader and was attending his wonderful basketball summer camp in Wisconsin. The reason I was at his live-in summer camp was so my mother could hide me from my father who she hated and divorced. My mother paid a small deposit and never paid the tuition for the camp. Yes my mother stiffed Ray for the balance due. Ray Meyer still treated me like a young visiting prince. When a construction crew working at the camp left a tar vat unattended. A couple of us boys soon got into a tar fight. This kind and understanding father figure cleaned us off carefully with gasoline, and then he hosed us down. He laughed and had one of his daughters take our pictures during the clean up. Canoe trips, horseback riding, overnight camping, watching old black and white serial films, great food and of course basketball made this something I never forgot. More than tha...

The L. A. Times did something rare today. They actually fleshed out a good story from court records and exhibits. The story provides a rare inside view on the methods of disgraced former Hollywood PI, Anthony Pellicano. This information and audio recordings were obtained from the publicly available items that involve the accused "limousine rapist" John Gordon and his 1998 trial. That defendant was acquitted. Too many reporters just don’t know how to cover a court related story. This story is a good learning vehicle for journalists. Most or all of the things Pellicano did here were lawful and proper. There is a hint that Pellicano crossed the line by obtaining criminal background information on the alleged victims. The fact is, the most important thing any private investigator can do is learn about the people who make serious allegations against an accused client. For a PI not to carefully examine the backgrounds, habits and prior allegations involving a victim is unforgivable...

I have complained from the first day the FAA began searching passengers like criminals. It’s ineffective, intrusive and violates the Fourth Amendment that outlaws unreasonable searches absent a judge’s warrant. Americans are such cowards they seem to support whatever they’re told might keep them safe. The problem is that this safety is only an apparition in their minds. The civilians at the FAA and TSA who no nothing about crime or police work have rejected the only methods that can really work. The methods that can work are to begin with a strong police presence at the airport. That’s followed by behavior profiling of passengers and small talk interviews by the officers. Add to that armed pilots, off duty, armed police officers and the Federal Air Marshals. Encouraging police officers that have met exacting training standards to fly standby for free or half-price is so simple that it screams for implementation. We’ve had cops flying our airplanes while armed since the first passenger ...
