Springfield, IL —There were some 6,000 gun owners that took over the State Capitol grounds to show their support for concealed weapon carry rights and to stop more gun control schemes by Chicago's Loony Left Wing Democrats. Observers here had never seen such a large group participating in government in many decades. The group was friendly, well behaved and sincere in their effort to insure the right to defend self and family. The message was clear, 48 other states respect the rights of the law-abiding to protect themselves in and outside of the home. Guns do save many more lives than those taken by violent criminals.

Winnenden, Germany —A 17 year-old former pupil of the Albertville School returned wearing black combat gear, was armed with a weapon, opened fire and has murdered 12 students and three teachers. Responding police killed the young gunman after two cops were wounded by gufire. The school is not far from Stuttgart and in an area where violent crime is rare. Germany has some really restrictive gun laws that preclude most citizens from using firearms for self-defense. As always the gun laws do nothing but facilitate cowardly criminals who are assured by misguided laws that nobody can resist being victimized. It is essential that there are trained and well armed people protecting vulnerable children. Guns are always used to protect money, why don’t the even more valuable children deserve the same meaningful protection? Of course like politicians everywhere you can expect many in Germany to demand even more gun laws that will facilitate even more violent acts by criminals protected by bad ...

Bolingbrook, IL— Thomas Morphey's story is worthless to police and prosecutors. Morphey told his tale before and is getting the celebrity treatment again today. This interloper’s claim is to have helped retired police sergeant, Drew Peterson dispose of a blue barrel that was “warm to the Touch” he says contained the body of the missing Stacy Peterson. Had Morphey anything helpful or credible to say prosecutors would have not let the sun set before they would force him to tell his story to the empanelled Grand Jury. Morphy has well documented issues with mental illness and drug addiction. It’s more than a little obvious that there were problems with Morphy’s unsubstantiated, tall tales. The biggest problem of all was an exhaustive search for the “blue Barrel” he claimed may have contained a body was fruitless. Morphey has again fanned the flames of wild gossip and media speculation. There is no change. There’s no credible evidence of Drew Peterson’s involvement in any crime. ...

Washington, DC —He is never without his teleprompter and that leads me to ask, who’s pulling the strings on this puppet? We know that many millions of dollars contributed to his campaign came from foreign lands. Barack Obama’s citizenship has never been vetted and strong evidence including a statement from his own grandmother shows he was born in Kenya, Africa. There are several lawsuits and a military Court’s Martial pending to learn the truth of Obama’s qualification or lack thereof to be President. There are too many questions many Americans have about just whose running this country right now. Those pulling the strings are obviously on a fast track to destroy our economy, system of government and way of life. These people can’t really be that dumb or reckless. There has to be a Communist conspiracy behind the destruction of America. They know just what they are doing and the results are only too predictable. When Obama’s checks bounce and they will we will have huge civil un...

Chicago, IL —Chicago police Superintendent Jody Weis was take to the US District Court woodshed by Judge Robert Gettleman for his initial failure to turn over records kept by the department concerning past citizen’s allegations of misconduct against cops. This was avoidable had the Chicago Police Department done what’s reasonable and fair to officers cleared by investigations. The cleared officers have a right to see bogus complaints thrown out with the garbage instead of collected and stored for future litigant's and media fishing expeditions. The department refuses to prosecute criminals who waste investigator’s valuable time by making false reports against officers. The law dictates that people be prosecuted for making false police reports but command officers have always obstructed justice by failure to do their sworn duty in that regard. The records then should be inventoried as evidence in the criminal actions against the people making false police reports, where they belon...

Springfield, IL —Wednesday, March 11, 2009 will see lots of gun owners demanding their rights at the doors of the legislature. Gun owners from all over the state are expected to meet their elected officials face to face. Our legislature will see their fellow citizens in business attire along with their friendly demeanor and commitment to support the Constitution. Be seen and heard by the people who control your lives. Take a day off and attend. It should be a fun day for all. There is a strong push for legalized concealed weapons for the law abiding citizens of Illinois. Details including the locations of chartered buses leaving from the Chicago area can be found here.

Washington, DC —They’re both are cut from the same cloth and it’s only natural that Barack Obama would extend his friendship and allegiance to a reprehensible rogue Communist nation like Cuba. The Obama Administration has announced their intent to lift sanctions and travel restrictions to Cuba. This is a country run by a Communist dictator that seized property of American citizens and corporations at gunpoint. Thousands of Cubans were murdered by that ruthless dictator Fidel Castro . The human rights record of this island prison is abysmal. What Cuba needs if freedom from Marxism. America has let the Cuban people down by not protecting them. I fully expect Obama and his Marxist pals in our Congress to shower the Communist thugs with taxpayer money before too long. This is when we should be showering these killers with napalm. I’m sure that we will have many more outrages like this before Obama is removed from the Whitehouse by ballots or a mob of patriots.

Simi Valley, CA —In the Bolshevik Collective of Caliornia there is a real monument to freedom and liberty. It is the Reagan Presidential Library and Museum. Saturday night this wonderful place was filled with 43 surviving recipients of the Congressional Medal of Honor. Along with these heroes was a large contingent of patriotic entertainers. Many I recognized instantly by face and name and many more that that I’ve seen in so many films and TV shows. There were theatrical agents, producers and directors from the Right thinking side of entertainment. An in the mix excitingly beautiful women were everywhere. The hosts, presenters and those honored included former First Lady, Nancy Reagan , General David Petraeus , WWII hero and actor, Charles Durning , CNN combat reporter, the lovely Alex Quade , Gary Sinise, Tom Sellak, David j. McIntyre, Jr . and Bruce Brereton . I reflected on my two years as an Army medical corpsman in Germany holding off the Russians during the Viet Nam War. I was in...

USA -The Republican Party has become the party of pretend Conservatives like John McCain , and both Bush Presidents. Today’s Republican Party supports too much control, taxation and pushes an ever-expanding government over Americans. The last election saw Conservatives staying away from the polls because McCain was a Republican Senator who voted more often with Obama, Clinton and Kennedy . McCain refused to protect America from illegal immigration allowing for the invasion of crime, poverty and narcotics. McCain never deserved nor did he get the support of Conservatives. The present Republican Party leadership is that of longtime members of the House and senate entrenched in a system of corruption and pork politics. They have little in common with Conservatives anymore. Either the Republican Party will clean its own house and return to Conservative values and principals or Conservatives must unite under another brand name.

Washington, DC —Since Barack Obama and his merry band of Bolsheviks want to destroy the economy with a trillion dollar giveaway to special interests as they raise taxes two things will happen. Any improvement in the economy will be halted and reversed as our currency becomes worthless through hyperinflation. The only sure way to stabilize our economy and protect our way of life is to suspend all tax collection from Americans and the companies that employ them. That will never happen under this bunch of traitors. These elected Marxists want nothing less than total Armageddon for our economy and way of life. Their direction and efforts can only be a deliberate effort. They know exactly what they are trying to accomplish. The proof of their ambitions is in their actions to date. Obama’s minions are creating the Perfect Storm that will enable them to suspend our Constitution, impose martial law and bring on their Communist revolution . I wish I was wrong but history is the model here. Pr...

Los Angeles, CA— I must admit this old private eye never heard of Chris Brown or Rihanna Fenty until the big rhubarb and publicity along with the leaked photo showing injuries to the young lady’s face. I don’t understand why anyone needs to hear about the inside of some relationship explosion between these kids. I don’t approve of domestic violence under any circumstance. As that old song goes, “you only hurt the one you love.” These nasty things happen all too often in our society. The cops were called and they made a felony case for assault that the prosecutor has now filed in court. The rub here is their victim, Rihanna Fenty apparently wants the prosecution ended. The DA intends to move the prosecution forward using a hearsay exception that allows “excited utterances” to be used as evidence. So even if the victim refuses to testify or becomes unavailable, statements recorded such as 911 calls or things told to police will be presented to a court and jury. I say the governme...

Washington, DC —As Barack Obama and the usual suspects plan their tyranny against gun owners I suspect they don’t have a clue just what the consequences are for a war on armed Americans. American gun owners feel that the Second Amendment questions were settled by the Heller decision last summer. They are not about to let some group of lawless despots infringe on their rights to keep and bear arms. It’s one thing to say, “From my dead cold hands!” But there is so much more to this. The offending politicians, bureaucrats along with the gun confiscators and their families will be paying with their lives too. As I write this the home addresses of prominent folks in the movement are being collected and distributed. As the raids begin against gun owners there will be an equally heavy price for those that dare conspire, facilitate or in any way violate gun owners rights will have to pay. Gun owners remember only too well the men, women and children murdered by federal agents and milita...

New York, NY —So many fine men and women went to war protecting our freedom only to return to an ungrateful nation. Some of the old vets outlive the important people in their lives and are all alone. 68th Precinct Officer, Susan Porcello responded to a 911 call only to meet someone that would change both of their lives, an elderly marine. Susan, you did not risk your life or take a bullet but you are every bit a hero. Your story made my day and I think many of my readers.

The Obama Administration is threatening to make war on gun owners with some of the most draconian gun and ammunition bans ever in the United State of America. On May 14 through 17 the NRA is holding our annual meeting and convention in Phoenix, Arizona. This is a great time and place for a show of our determination to preserve our Liberty and Freedom. Please make a point of attending the convention and bring your families and friends. We have never before needed to show we are united in our demands. This is the place to tell Obama and his Attorney General that we will not stand for another Waco assault in America. Here is the information.

Chicago, IL —It was a cold 1973 New Year’s incident where a young woman survived a kidnapping by a prolific sadistic rapist on the fashionable Near North Side. It became an amazing and much larger story of a broken criminal justice system, a terrorized neighborhood along with the self-reliance and bravery of a beautiful recruit policewoman, Ann Leybourne . This true story, Come Friday needs to be seen in a theater near you and it may happen as some investor sees an opportunity to place his or her money in an industry that thrived during our Great depression. Entertainment somehow managed to survive while other industries drowned in a sea of red ink. Normally feature films are a riskier investment but the payoff can be quite handsome. Now is a better time than ever to evade the stock market or even more dangerous places for your money. Any investor can take the project to a talent agency and get the film made. directors, actors and other needed talent will be made available and the fil...

Washington, DC —As it was with Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Castro and so many others the excuse to end Liberty will be for public safety. Lately the Barack Obama Administration has been hearing anger and some rage from Americans opposed to adopting our government policy from Karl Marx’s playbook, Das Kapatal . We have seen this kind of oppression play out before in places like Cuba and post World War One Europe. Yes Abraham Lincoln did that here too and fueled a Civil War that cost more American lives than any other conflict to date. They are also hearing anger from freedom loving gun owners about the slew of gun and ammunition bans Obama’s minions intend to force on Americans. Yes, despite the recent Supreme Court Heller case that defined the right to bear arms as an individual right rather than a right of government Obama’s tyranny is moving forward. Guns and ammunition are being hoarded by Americans like never before, not in fear of new laws, but instead for use against anyone the govern...

Wilmette, IL —In the Land of Obama justice is strange. A man defending his home with a gun is put through Hell. A man who murders his wife and after conviction and a short prison stretch gets another chance to marry and murder yet another wife. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry learning about this case. Of course we must remember that Illinois has some of the most restrictive and miserable gun laws in America. As always, those laws only affect law-abiding people. In this well-heeled community police discovered that a convicted wife killer, 54-year-old Richard Wiley murdered his second wife, 50-year-old Kathy Wiley-Motes and his stepson 17-year-old Christopher Motes before turning the working Civil War replica gun on himself. WLS-TV’s enterprising reporter and various Wilmette neighbors can’t seem to figure out why this crime occurred are they really all that stupid? There is more here.

The picture is of a Spy Pen Camcorder available for sale. Our jury system is far from perfect since people called to jury duty seem to have little problem with committing perjury. Far too often the people sitting on juries are having too much fun at the expense of justice. There are those people who are addicted to trial watching who think the job of a juror is to aid the prosecution in convicting the accused. Some actually believe that the cops have secret evidence that can’t bring into a courtroom for technical reasons that are solid proof of guilt. It’s nearly impossible to uncover this kind of bias before a juror is seated. The jury pool is always made up of retired people or simple civil servants with jobs that reward them for jury service with civic duty pay. Idle people are very prone to misconduct. It would be far better to randomly draft jurors who come from the ranks of sought after professionals. They very people who always escape jury duty because their jobs are too de...

Phoenix, AZ —I spent some time with some interesting folks last week. They were members of Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s 3,200, member Posse. This was during the same time while several thousand Latino demonstrators protested this sheriff’s efforts to slow down the invasion of narcotics, crime and poverty from Mexico. Even with Arpaio’s efforts the number of kidnapping of illegal aliens by others is staggering. Not only are these immigrants trespassing the damage from their blight is irreversible. You can't resurrect innocent victims of illegal aliens’ crimes from the dead. American schools and medical providers along with state and local governments have all been crushed under the huge financial burden resulting from the unlawful incursion. The real reason Liberal politicians don’t want to block these folks unlawful entry is that they will insure an end to the form of government our founding fathers gave us. Marxist governments can only thrive where there is massive poverty and free...

Washington, DC —President Barack Obama lied to America about supporting the Second Amendment. The Obama gun and ammunition banning agenda has been officially announced today by Obama’s top Nazi, Eric Holder who was the architect of the Waco Massacre . Banning what they deceptively claim, are assault weapons and cop Killer bullets is at the very top of the Obama agenda. What bullet can’t kill a cop? What arm can’t be used for an assault? Those terms have always been incredibly incendiary and intentionally misleading. When the founding fathers gave us the right to keep and bear arms they knew war was waged with the deadly arms American’s were given the right to own. Our emancipators never suggested that the people should have a lower grade of weapon technology than the government. Currently our Marxists in Congress have the votes to pass whatever they want and will do this in violation of the Constitution knowing that it will take decades or longer to get another decision from our ...
