Bolingbrook, IL— I knew time was running out for the Will County Grand Jury. They had to indict Drew Peterson or recess. They voted a True Bill in connection with the death of Peterson's third wife, Kathleen Savio who was found dead in a bathtub in March, 2004. Illinois State Police made the arrest on the Indictment Warrant this afternoon. The accidental death was reinvestigated complete with a second autopsy after police obtained a court order to exhume her body. Officials reclassified the death as a homicide. We will have to wait and see just what evidence had led to the charge. I will post a copy of the actual indictment here as soon as I Can get it. I will have details such as bail and custory status with the actual charges as soon as I can get them. I have to say a prosecutor can indict a ham sandwich. We will have to wait now for the wheels of justice to do its thing. Somehow I’m convinced there is a thinnest of cases here. This may be reduced to a battle of exper...

Washington, DC —With his new Administration doing all they can from the Karl Marx playbook to destroy our entire economy. Their suggestions that wounded military veterans pay for their own medical costs while branding them as domestic terrorists was unforgivable. Taking over banks, businesses along with printing money into worthlessness guarantees Martial Law will visit us soon. The frightening concept of the Barack Obama’s Administration plans of releasing the Gitmo prisoners onto our streets so they can go to heaven by killing Americans is not going to win the hearts and minds of Americans. Every day this despot commits another act of treason. Obama and his minions are not smart enough to realize the police, military and even the Secret Service will never subscribe to this fascist’s ideals. There are far too many Americans with the motive, means and opportunity to kill Obama. The days of a single dysfunctional gunman assassinating a President are over. Technology has brought suitab...

Los Angeles, CA—As I puke over the injustice of Phil Spector’s trial I can’t help but not forget was an incredible talent he is. Here he plays the piano as Joan sings one of Spector’s masterpieces. Enjoy a slice of Spector’s heyday. Spector is langushing in the L.A. County jail as he waits for an appeal and a sentencing over a death and a bad jury's guess.

Chicago, IL —From now on four out of five TV stations will share video. For viewers that means the end of channel surfing during news broadcasts. WLS-ABC7 will continue to gather exclusive video and not participate in this scheme. The perceived benefit is that the stations participating will save a bundle as they jettison photographers, vehicles and expenses off their payrolls. Pink slips continue to rain during the first ever depression for TV news in its entire history. I don’t see this as a cure to stop the hemorrhaging of profits. On the contrary I expect a viewer revolt that will eventually bring on entertainment TV reruns instead of local news. Nationwide, local TV news has resisted any change as they’ve religiously copycatted each other’s style and format to death. I ask, why not have just one TV news provider broadcast to every channel? There has been so little in the way of enterprising news stories outside of the ratings or sweeps periods. Why bother at all? TV news has prog...

Frankfurt, Germany —Instead of being sent to Viet Nam when I was drafted into the Army I served as a medical corpsman in Germany. I was in a Sachsenhausen club called Le Carousel in 1968-70. I was enjoying the company of some young beautiful women that year and here were a few songs they’d play for my enjoyment.

Washington, DC—Barack Obama’s latest wet dream is to release the Muslim enemy combatants onto American soil. I suspect that I’m not alone in my concerns for the safety of Americans if this insane policy is ever enacted. So far even the Democrats in Congress are smart enough to know that approving this policy would end their political careers. Imagine if Obama told the public of his plans to do this during the campaign. He would be anywhere at all other than in the Whitehouse. During conventional wars soldiers are usually conscripted and are normally peace loving productive people. Had we released Japanese and German POWs because they had nowhere to live it would have had minimal risk. They were after all somewhat civilized. This case is very different, the Gitmo detainees are willing suicidal warriors fighting a religious war and view killing Americans as a sure way to Heaven. The danger of releasing these fanatical killers would be more menacing than letting out every inhabit...

Los Angeles, CA-- Carmen Trutanich is running for the Los Angeles City Attorney. He is opposed by city councilman and career gun-rights hater Jack Weiss. Weiss is out of touch and does not want to see law-abiding people stopping murder, rape or armed robbery with lawfully possessed firearms. He’d rather see victimization. Trutanich is a law and order kind og guy that wants to do whatever he can to insure public safety in this city. As the California Department of Corrections is set to release tens of thousands of convicted felons on our streets early because of budget problems the law abiding need all the help they can get. Weiss has been running countless ads smearing Trutanich with blatantly false allegations suggesting he’s soft on crime for defending gun owners as a defense attorney. There is a lot more to being a prosecutor than making prosecutorial war on middle-aged gun owners for having gun collections. The US Supreme court and the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has made it cle...

Chicago, IL —This week I took Chicago lawyer Joel Brodsky up on his offer for a lunch. We went to the swank GAGE restaurant on Michigan Avenue. Also there was retired Bolingbrook police sergeant and so called murder suspect Drew Peterson. Prosecutors and Illinois State Police investigating the death of one of Peterson’s former wives and the strange disappearance of another have called Peterson a suspect. I take exception to that moniker that’s usually reserved only for people who are arrested and prosecuted. Peterson has not been charged or even arrested. Unfortunately there are so many people who believe that Peterson is a double murderer without the presence of so much as minimal evidence required to bring that matter to a criminal court. Is Peterson a killer? If anyone really knows they’re not telling and I’m not clairvoyant. What’s wrong with giving Peterson the presumption of innocence any accused American deserves? In this case Peterson has not even been accused by autho...

Chicago, IL—Geoff Pinkus is a Chicago radio personality with two talk shows. One is on Sunday, Livin’ Large With Geoff Pinkus and the other is Overnight With Geoff Pinkus . He's on 560 WIND. The Pinker as his pals call him is Conservatism with fun. He’s much more than politics as he celebrates women, cigars, sports, cars, gun rights, human rights and more importantly the right to have fun is what his shows are all about. This may seem like a show geared for men but his audience demographics and callers prove otherwise. The Pinker’s shows are guest driven and he’s got no shortage of entertaining guests. TV news reporter turned radio personality, Amy Jacobson connected Pinkus to me and this blog and I’ve been a Pinker guest a few times by telephone. This week I was invited to do the Overnight show and was in studio doing the fun eye to eye. I learned that Pinkus is afraid of no callers except for the rare boring ones. He’ll take the conversation in almost any direction tha...

Click on pictirues to enlarge. Chicago, IL —I went to my home town to assist a good cop in need of my help to clear his name. This effort required a trip to 26th and California where I spent so much time working in my younger days. The Southwest corner of this intersection is home to the Criminal Court Buildings and what they today call the Cook County Department of Corrections. Over the years I’ve witnessed a lot of history being made inside those buildings The old Criminal Court building, Cook County Jail, Chicago House of Correction and Cermak Memorial Hospital sit here with a lot of newly added buildings. This was and is the epicenter of where Chicago’s most infamous criminals were incarcerated, tried, convicted and in many cases executed in the electric chair. Mob boss, Al Capone , killers Richard Speck, John Wayne Gacy, Nathan Leopold, Jr., Richard Loeb along with Teamsters President Jimmy Hoffa , and former Chicago Mayor Harold Washington had all spent time in the notorio...

San Quentin, CA —Death row inmate, Scott Peterson got bad news today. His dead wife’s parents Sharon and Dennis Rocha dropped their lawsuit against him. Normally for a defendant that would be a good thing. But in this case Scott Peterson could use the litigation to bring to light new evidence needed to destroy the conviction that got him condemned to die. Peterson was free to examine witnesses, test, re-test and review all the additional evidence he wanted as long as the civil case was ongoing. I predicted that this lawsuit could do just that on this blog when it was filed long ago. Peterson’s conviction was a result of disgraceful excuse or a trial. Not a shred of evidence was presented as to how Laci Peterson and her unborn child died. Peterson was a world class cad, womanizer and jerk. There was never a case or murder without the corpus delecti. I was hoping the greed of the Rochas was going to be their undoing but they finally figured out Peterson would greatly benefit ...

Chicago, IL— Tonight at midnight (Chicago time) I will be live in Studio at WIND 560 radio with Goeff Pinkus talking about the life of Chicago policewoman Ann Leybourne Erwin Biebel . As many of my readers know I’m working on making a feature film on this great lady’s early career and amazing brush with death. The Film is called, Come Friday and you can learn more about it here . You’re invited to listen in by actual broadcast or though live streaming audio right here!

Click on pictures to enlarge them Westwood Village, Los Angeles, CA —Unfortunately, this event has a small but rather goofy dark side. Some people want to push their own political agendas down the throats of others. I have no problem with political discussion provided it’s germane to the place, time and targeted people. I met one author who came in with his lovely wife to sell his books and set up a booth to do just that. The author, Neville W. Cramer wrote, Immigration Chaos . Cramer is a retired INS special agent. His premise is a simple one, American politicians will support any immigration enforcement efforts as long as they don’t work. Okay, opinions are divided between those that do and don’t want laws regulating immigration. Apparently free speech is only welcome by some if they agree with the message. At least one fist fight broke out at the booth stared by an open border supporter. I can’t wait to read Cramer’s book and can be counted on to review it here. You can learn more ...

Westwood Village, Los Angeles, CA— There are few thing to do that are as much fun as meeting lots of celebrity authors. Nearly every publishing company around sends their writers to this two-day event. The price for this adventure is right, it’s free! However at $3.00 per bottle they will charge you here it’s best to bring your own water! There are loads of booths and exhibits for the children. I guess we all want to keep the brats away from TV and those nasty video video games these days. I put up a video so you can see what’s going on.

Westwood Village, Los Angeles, CA —Today was the first of the two day Festival of Books sponsored by the L.A. Times and many other organizations. Every author around of any significance is here. They're there pressing the flesh as they sell and sign their books. I have lots of video and will edit and post it later but wanted to give you a little treat from singer/actress Kristen Chenoweth. She starred in the Broadway smash, Wicked and had a starring role in the West Wing. I’m hoping to figure a way for her to tuck me into bed every night and sing for me! Somehow I don’t think that will happen except in my dreams.

Washington, DC -- Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano met with officials of the American Legion . Napolitano blamed the distribution of insulting and provoking report about veterans on her staffers. The report suggested our veterans were potential domestic terrorists sent out to law enforcement agencies throughout the country. The fact is the report went out and was never recalled. The damage was not repaired and Napolitano passed the buck with lightening speed. Napolitano believes what was in that report or it would have never been published as a warning to every law enforcement agency in America. The report was in every way consistent with the philosophy the former Arizona Governor. The report backfired because too many of the cops that received and read it are themselves now branded as terrorists since they honorably served in the Armed Forces of The United States. The Regime of Barack Obama has shown over the last 100 days that they hate the American form of government a...

Bolingbrook, Il,-- For over a year now retired police sergeant, Drew Peterson has been called a lot of names including, suspect but never charged in connection with any mishaps involving his former wives. The Illinois State Police have either revoked or cancelled Peterson’s Firearms Owner’s Identification Card without cause and so far, has refused to provide a hearing. Since the action by the ISP two court decisions have come down, one from the US Supreme Court , District of Columbia v. Heller that held the right to keep and bear arms was an individual right. The question left open was whether the Second Amendment was only a protection against federal not state gun prohibitions. The other case was decided just this week by the Uber-Liberal 9th Circuit Court of Appeals . This court ruled in Nordyke v. King that the states must honor Second Amendment rights under incorporation provided by the 14th Amendment. Now there is little doubt that many state gun laws and prohibitions wi...

Los Angeles, CA —Once again, taxpayers will get bitten with another gun buy-back, feel good, wastefest. Los Angeles and the already financially distressed TV stations, CBS 2/ KCAL 9 have teamed up to buy handguns for $100.00 and so called assault weapons for $200.00. Instead of cash they will be handing out Ralph’s grocery store gift certificates or Visa gift cards. I see no difficulty with their form of payment. As usual the nitwits have promised that no questions will be asked. Now is the time to gather your non-collectable, cheap, rusty junk and use the financial reward to offset the cost of better guns and ammunition. If you have a nice gun and know for sure it’s not stolen any gun dealer in the country will pay you cash so why bring anything valuable or nice to the dopes running the buy-back program. If the taxpayers of Los Angeles want the politicians to pay premium prices for rusty scrap they deserve that city’s bankruptcy. To my friends in Arizona gather all the crap hand...

Washington, DC —The Barack Obama Regime’s Chief Inquisitor Eric H. Holder Jr. will begin their Star Chamber proceedings. The intent is to punish those former officials and lawyers that advised or directed CIA and military folks that responded to safety concerns of every American after the September 11 Attack on America. After that attack and murder of thousands of Americans, Americans demanded Dirty Harry style efforts to bring those responsible to justice. We got what we asked for but now the Marxists in lockstep with Barack Obama think our intelligence efforts should have been kind and gentle. Holder will persecute anyone he can. I hope the people involved are smart enough to recite four simple words to Holder’s Gestapo agents, “I want a lawyer!” Agents of the FBI and lawyers employed by the Justice Department need to follow their oaths and reject any aspect of this nefarious duty. Each and every officer or government agent conducting this witch hunt deserves to be treated like...
