Chicago, I L—The “Taste of Chicago” has been an ongoing Chicago tradition for the Windy City’s top restaurants to join together on the lakefront and offer up the best food found anywhere. Chicago’s corrupt Daley/Burke Administration has taken all the fun out of this event. The city’s government has extortionately taxed everyone especially vendors beyond belief. City inspectors will be out in force putting the arm on vendors for bribes as always. They have made parking impossible and the commute by bus, foot or even bicycle is now become a gauntlet of muggers, sex offenders and aggressive panhandlers for the visitors. The Daley/Burke Administration has turned Chicago into an entitlement paradise. It’s also place where the life has been choked out of business and productive taxpayers no longer want to live. Chicago is not a decent place to work or raise children. The vendors can and must reassemble their event out in the suburban areas where they can acquaint people to really great...

Los Angeles, CA-The L.A. Lakers racked up another Basketball Championship and as expected it became an excuse for local Latino misfits to go on an orgy of destruction. Targeted, were those people in their automobiles leaving the game on their way home. Despite a heavy police presence Hispanic thugs broke windows, set fires and victimized innocent people and their property. Times and technology has changed enabling thugs to memorialize their great contribution to society. As you can see in the video below a significant portion of the mob had cameras and were creating their own reality TV shows. Of course police may be able to identify some of these self-made YouTube stars who’s deeds may get them arrested and hopefully deported once the finish their prison time. These are the crimes we enable and tolerate. Incredibly dumb laws and political climate prevent Americans from protecting and defending their property or even their lives. In a different time in this country there'd have...

As I gather material for this blog I’m challenged by obstacles. The ability to devote enough time, travel and acquisition of the necessary hardware is somewhat problematic. Fortunately I do a fair amount of traveling that puts me close to news makers especially in the firearms and gun rights area. However when I do travel I have other responsibilities that prevent my full attention to this blog. It would be a dream come true to be able to turn this blog into a full time job. I’m never without video and still cameras in the event I run across something I think will interest my visitors. I never tire in my effort to find official court records and documents that will enlighten my visitors. Of course I’d love to be able to travel anywhere and bring you to certain political events high profile crimes and trials, but I must rely on others to share videos and photos. I’m always looking for quality video to use that is captured by contributors. If you have a service or product to advertis...

Washington, DC —A young political stranger with insufficient experience, a nebulas political platform and a broad smile ran for president at the exact right moment. Barack Obama won the election. Eight years of a horrible Republican President along with wars in two theaters had taken its toll on American voters. The Republicans went on to make a terrible choice of a very Liberal and Progressive John McCain to be their candidate. McCain was still eating humble pie after floating his failed, illegal alien amnesty program. Disillusioned Conservative voters had but two choices that came from the US Senate and their voting records were strikingly similar. Conservatives avoided the polls and the result was a win for Barack Obama. America had apparently voted for that incredibly vague Hope and Change platform. Obama said he wanted some strange things like a civilian government force with the same power and funding as the military. Nobody ever bothered to ask him to explain what that wa...

You’ve seen them many times, police mug shots. They are always the same. Those photos of the arrested reveal hostile, sad, drunk or crazy people charged with crimes. Police show those photos to crime witnesses to establish legal identifications of suspects enabling arrests and indictments. Eye witnesses are absolutely unreliable and will almost never identify a picture of someone with a broad smile in a photo lineup. They always go for a face with the nasty scowl In cases with media interest editors and news directors always love to redundantly publish those really rude looking and sensational booking photos. A pleasant smile can take a booking photo and turn it into something taken from a Facebook page. The media does not want bore their readers and viewers with routine pleasant faces. Getting arrested and charged with a crime is an unpleasant experience especially if you’re actually innocent. Trying to muster a smile at a difficult time like that is nearly impossible. If you can ...

Draper, UT —I visited the prison here several years ago on an adoption matter. It’s a clean appearing seemingly well run institution for men that have done vile and horrible things. Many are dangerous career criminals housed there that should never be set free until they’re too old to hurt anyone. After midnight tonight Ronnie Lee Gardner , 49 is going to be escorted to and strapped into a chair and five men will fire .30 Caliber Winchester rifles at a small target on his chest. Gardner’s crime was a despicable act. He was convicted of capital murder 25 years ago for the 1985 fatal courthouse shooting of attorney Michael Burdell during an escape attempt. He was desperate and 24 years-old back then. It’s disturbing to me that an entire quarter of a century has passed. That much time would change anyone. There is no evidence since that mad act that indicates he’d re-offend or not find a peaceful way to somehow serve society even if it was behind bars. Killing Gardner now is almos...

Chicago, IL— Within the next two weeks legal experts expect that the United States Supreme Court will rule that the 14th Amendment incorporates the Second Amendment applying it to the states. Simply put for the first time all 50 states can, no longer infringe on the right of the people to keep and bear arms. The failure of the court to do this until now has allowed some states to heavily restrict or ban firearms as their gun control schemes have spun out-of-control. The target of this action is the 30 year-old Chicago handgun ban . The law was passed with the twisted and tortured logic that robbers, rapists and killers would somehow obey the ban on handguns. The only thing that happened was the wholesale disarming of law-abiding Chicagoans. Or what I called The Mugger Protection Act . It’s only the criminals, not the law-abiding that use guns for violent crime. The law enabled cowardly criminals to do whatever they wanted by eliminating any and all meaningful self defense capabilit...

Chicago, IL -- These two money making giants say they want to give away half of their money. Okay I want to get into this line! I need several million dollars to make my film, Come Friday about heroic Chicago policewoman Ann Leybourne . It was New Year’s morning when serial rapist and career criminal Robert Ellis stalked and kidnapped the 25 year old recruit policewoman. Ellis kidnapped and raped nearly 50 attractive young women on Chicago’s gold Coast. On a legal technicality he was set free and his crimes continued. Some really great cops made Ellis their personal target but were never able to bag the cunning rapist. Ellis wore a surgical mask and was always armed with a gun or knife. He always struck on Friday Night. Chicago’s media dubbed him The Friday Night Rapist . I want to employ a director, actors, extras, editors as I pump some needed cash into Chicago’s struggling economy. There will be lots of work for off duty Chicago cops. This struggling film producer and sc...

Chicago, IL —For 32 years Patti DeLuna , 61 has been in the skies serving passengers for three different airlines. The past 14 of those years have been with American Airlines . Patti had a little secret; she knew how to do more than serve peanuts and drinks. She learned how to fly airplanes long ago. Being a commercial airline pilot was impossible in DeLuna’s younger days because you could not get the job without being a military pilot first regardless of experience or training. DeLuna went ahead and got a commercial pilot's rating anyway in 1970 and several years later became a flight attendant. Monday was hardly a different day for DeLuna as a mid-air medical emergency developed in the cockpit. The First Officer was stricken and unable to assist the Captain with the landing of that little Boeing 767 airship . After an announcement for pilots on board the plane got no results DeLuna sprang into action and took over the First Officer’s duties like the pro she is. Although she ha...

Charlotte, NC— Along with all the grief associated with today’s air travel, the airlines are not helping themselves into profitability. They are adding more reasons to avoid flying altogether. I arrived at the airport only to learn from Delta Airlines that I must fork over an additional $25.00 fee for my 25” roll-away bag each way. It was not the money that angered me but the nickel-dime low brow treatment. I forked over the additional payment only to see panicked passengers who have avoided the charges overfilling the overhead storage bins. Smart travelers were trying to find clever ways to beat the extra charges. Needless to say the overhead bins get stuffed full before nearly half of the passengers are let on to the plane. Loading the plane took a significant longer time and the flight attendants began confiscating small bags of passenger’s valuables that because of a lack of space in the overloaded bins. The confiscated bags included laptops and cameras that were now in for a...

Washington, DC— Watch Congressman Bob Etheridge , Democrat from North Carolina, as he violently manhandles a passive student asking simple questions on a public sidewalk. This is nothing more than a criminal assault and battery that deserves prosecution in both a criminal and civil court. This is the new thuggish attitude of the Socialists of the Barack Obama Administration. Yes, it reminiscent of the Brownshirts of National Socialism’s SA that brought Adolph Hitler to absolute power. If Etheridge escapes prosecution that’s a sure sign of the Obama Administration actually is gaining that dreaded absolute power.

They’ve changed their name many times but their mission is the same. They want what they’ve called sensible gun control. They’ve wanted to ban every gun in civilian homes in America. They’ve pushed their agenda with a loud voice for a couple of decades but now thankfully, they’re running out of gas. The U.S. Supreme Court dealt them a fatal blow when they re-affirmed the Second Amendment in the Heller case. Now the Brady Bunch is bracing for another defeat with the McDonald case due any Monday this month. More importantly the truth has emerged through the new media about the failure of gun control to do anything but empower and enable violent criminals. Before the Internet, with only the major TV networks and Leftist newspapers, spreading their misleading and poisonous propaganda was smooth sailing. Those days are over now In the last two decades, the Right to Carry , has swept the nation as law-abiding citizens regained the right to protect themselves on main Street. That massiv...

Washington, DC—Barack Obama is at it again, enslaving taxpayers this time for yet another $50 billion to bailout cities that refused to exercise minimal fiscal discipline. Now these Democratic Party controlled cities say they have to lay off teachers, fire and police. Of course the unbridled corruption and waste matters not as the same city officials will get another blood money bailout. The Leftists running these metropolitan cesspools have done silly things like declare themselves as Sanctuary Cities for illegal aliens. They’ve forcing taxpayers to provide services for the trespassers. Chicago for example misspent many tens of millions trying to win the Olympic Games. They were merely looking for more contract extortion opportunities for their own officials. Is there no limit to bailout foolishness? These rogue cities need to be forced to tighten their belts. They need to be weaned from reckless spending. Giving money to the same horrible local politicians that created this me...

Greensboro, NC—A Barack Obama supporting thug named Governor Spencer waded into a group of peaceful Tea Party demonstrators to confront them. Spencer pushed one woman and threw a left hook striking, Nathan Tabor in the face. The vicious an unprovoked assault was captured on video tape. The thug left without being arrested. I have one simple question. Why didn’t the other men in the demonstration step in and beat the living snot out of the Obama thug? This is nothing more than backing down from a schoolhouse bully. Failure to fight back only empowers the bullies and brings much more of the same. Today’s Americans don’t really deserve rights they won’t fight to preserve and protect. Standing around with signs to an administration that ignores both voters and the Constitution is a waste of time. We cannot fight tyranny with peaceful protests. That never works. We are under the most dangerous Socialist threat this country has ever faced and must do our duty as Americans to protect ...

Los Angeles, CA —The trial of Bay Area Rapid Transit cop, Johannes Mehserle has been removed from Oakland to be tried here. Mehserle is the young cop who shot and killed Oscar Grant on a transit platform on New Year’s Day in 2009. Grant was being subdued and handcuffed by several officers when Mehserle removed his service weapon from its holster and shot Grant in the back. It sounds so simple but it’s not. The shooting of Oscar Grant was a YouTube Sensation because several people in the hostile crowd pulled out cell-phone video cameras and captured the incident. They quickly posted the videos on YouTube with their own misleading and incendiary commentary. In the past 40 years police agencies all over have experimented and deployed all manner of non-lethal gizmos and sprays as an alternative to force that will seriously injure or kill. Quite popular are the Tazer stun guns with police administrators and local politicians. I have taken exception to this device for a lot of reasons. Th...

Washington, DC —In our world politics and governments may change but people and their cultures remain the same. As a young man and Army draftee I was part of the post World War Two military occupation that was still around 23 years after the war ended. I saw some amazing things in Germany. They were still repairing war damage but the smiles and friendship the people offered me was immeasurable to this Chicago boy so far from home. Serving in Germany was one of the greatest experiences of my life. Germany had joined NATO and we were all part of the common defense against the totalitarian Soviet regime. In thousands of homes were pictures and tapestries of our President John F. Kennedy . Kennedy endeared himself to the German people with his famous, “Ich bin ein Berliner!” speech. The German people accepted me as one of them. I went out of my way to learn and think in the German language. My host country shared their food, culture, hopes, dreams and lives with me. Fun was g...

Washington, DC —They were the Gangbusters, the brave government agents that chased bank robbers, across state lines. They created a nationwide intelligence operation to deal with all manner of crime and created a huge database of criminals, stolen property and crime statistics. they were the FBI . The former director, J. Edgar Hoover went out of his way to court public opinion and Hollywood in a massive public relations move that constructed a rock solid image. Agents were large males educated as lawyers and accountants. There was no room for affirmative action in an agency that seemed to seek Arian perfection. The FBI has always been about image rather than substance anyway. Hoover died and the kinder, gentler FBI evolved with a new Metrosexual makeup attitude and demeanor. They also were given loads of new jurisdiction over street crime once reserved for local police. Gone was the image created by the bureau’s founder. The new FBI seems to score their convictions when people int...

Chicago, IL - As former Illinois Governor Rod Blagovejich is being tried for political corruption involved with Barack Obama’s former senate seat Pat Fitzgerald is doing fancy footwork protecting the man that held him over in his job as top Northern Illinois federal prosecutor. Fitzgerald would have been tossed with the rest of the Bush political trash except that he owned Obama though wiretapped phone conversations. Fitzgerald holds the keys to the Whitehouse and Obama has no choice but to give the crafty Fitzgerald anything he wants. I’d love to see Fitzgerald’s Swiss bank account balance right about now. Fitzgerald’s arrest of Blagovejich and prosecution has seen the cover-up of evidence because only select portions of the intercepted phone calls were released in the court discovery routine process. Of course there would be a potential fat reward for any federal judge that would protect the man who could appoint him to a higher judicial office. It’s doubtful that the covered up ...

Chicago, Il --For the third time in three weeks a banned handgun was used to shoot a felon during the commission of a violent crime! It was just after 1:00 PM today when an armed robbery was attempted at the Fullerton Pawners , 5900 W. Fullerton by at least three suspects. The unidentified pawnshop owner opened fire on the robbers killing one and it’s believed he may have wounded a second. Police are intensively searching for the other two robbers at this hour. It was just yesterday when Chicago police superintendent, Jody “J-Fled” Weis was parroting the philosophy of his boss, Mayor, Richard M. Daley. Within the next three Mondays the United States Supreme court will tell the world about the lack of legitimacy of Chicago’s Gun Ban. Most legal experts agree the ban will end for good. Again, the law passed by the Illinois Legislature after the Wilmette, case where Hale DeMar shot a home invader will block the prosecution of the store owner for passion of a banned handgun. It looks l...

Los Angeles, CA —I feel nauseous and begin to gag as I watch those Steve Posner and Meg Whitman campaign commercials. They both slam the other for being too Liberal as they run in the Republican primary for Governor. They both promise to be the Conservative solution when they’re both pretenders more in line with Barack Obama than anything Conservative. They are both well established gun rights haters that love big progressive government. Neither are worthy of holding office in America. They’re masquerading as conservatives to fool the not so sophisticated California voters who don’t know any better. These two are much more in tune with either the Loony left California Democrats or Communists. The best man for the job and most Conservative is former Governor Jerry Brown, a Liberal Democrat that’s not been a gun control zealot. He is the most honest of the candidates and has not pretended to be something he’s not. My guess is that billionaire Meg Whitman will get the Republican no...
