Chicago, IL --Chicago police have located and taken into custody ex-convict, William Balfour who lived with the murdered victims and the missing child. That complicates and compromises any forensic examinations. So far Balfour has not been charged with the killings. Since he’s on parole, I’m almost certain police found some technical parole violations they can use in order to hold him at least for a while. Balfour’s fingerprints and DNA will be found everywhere in that home simply because he lived there. Police have detained and questioned other people associated with Balfour, but none have been arrested. Police will need a witness, confession, the murder weapon or other items actually found in Balfour’s possession. Since seven year-old Julian King is still missing and probably knows what happened, that made him an undeniable and certain murder target. Sadly I’ve given up all hope that he will be found alive. Police are working against the clock to find the boy’s body in order to find...

Breaking News! The Chicago Tribune is reporting that Balfour is in custody and being interrogated by Chicago Police, Area 1 detectives at this hour (9:30 PM Chicago time). The missing child has not been found. I've been told that the interrogation ended when Balfour demanded a lawyer. He will have a court appearance in the morning for bail purposes. This is where they will appoint an attorney for him and by the afternoon he will be in the Cook County Jail. I suspect even if he’s not charged with murder he will not be bondable because of various parole violations. Chicago, IL --Chicago police are seeking William Balfour as a suspect in the killing of Jennifer Hudson’s mother and brother. Balfour is also suspected in the abduction of seven year-old Julian King . Balfour should be considered armed and dangerous. He is believed to be driving a white 1994 Chevy Suburban with license plate: X58-4859 or a teal or green Chrysler Concord with a temporary tag with a left front headlight ...

Photo of Jenifer Hudson with her mother Darnell Hudson Donerson. Chicago, IL —Two bodies were discovered in a home owned by American Idol singer, and Academy Award winner Jennifer Hudson's mother. Early reports indicate that Hudson’s mother, Darnell Hudson Donerson and an adult male identified Jennifer Hudson’s brother Justin Hudson were shot to death. The home is located at 7019 S. Yale on Chicago’s South Side. Officers of the Chicago Police Department are investigating this as a double homicide. I will have details about this crime later as the investigation unfolds. These two deaths are just more for the newly crowned Murder Capital of America . Update: Police are also reporting that a child, believed to be Jennifer Hudson's 7-year-old nephew, Julian King , is missing. Police are actively searching for an SUV that was seen in the area, a 1994 white Suburban, Illinois license plate number X584859 Here is information and photos of the suspect .

Pittsburgh, PA—That McCain volunteer who claimed she was robbed and mutilated has not rung true with this investigator. Ashley Todd, 20 told the story that the robber carved the letter B on her face. The biggest problem I have is the "carving" is so superficial and was made by numerous small and minimal scratches rather than real cutting. In this world we have pathetic people that need attention. This story smelled to me from the beginning. I suspect that before the ink is dry on the police reports this allegation will be debunked. The good news here if there is any is that Todd has not implicated some real person for this attack.

What’s the solution? Voters need to read and mark a sample ballot before they get to the polling place. Ballots are often long and confusing to some voters. Those ballots include bond issues and propositions. It is a lot of reading material. More importantly too many people are really dumb. Voters don’t bother reading anything sent to them by their election commissions including the sample ballot they send out. It’s evident that most voters have seen the ballot for the very first time once their inside the voting booth. Poll workers should be handing sample ballots to voters standing in those long lines but they seldom are smart enough to do that. Additional real problems involve the pathetic literacy skills of voters. Bi-lingual ballots don’t help if people can’t read their native language either. Voters should be in and out of their booth in less than one minute.

This is the latest ad from the NRA that exposes the real Barrack Obama . The story they are talking about happened in Wimette Illinois and involved Chicago restaurant owner Hale Demar . Obama wanted Demar jailed and given a criminal record for the rest of his life because he defended his family. Another reason for NOBAMA !

Joliet, IL-- Will County State’s Attorney James Glasgow has a miserable life these days. He’s been hounded for more than a year to indict two men for murder with no evidence or even a body. The targets for prosecution are retired Bolingbrook police sergeant Drew Peterson and private investigator Craig Stebic . Is it the families of the missing women ranting a raving for impossible prosecutions? Not really. Instead it’s a bunch of pathetic true crime story junkies that want to somehow be a part of these cases. These people don’t have a life and have way too much time on their hands. These concerned citizens troll the Internet consuming and spreading the worst kind of gossip. They think that they are somehow helping police and the potential victimized families. The Illinois State Police and prosecutors are the object of wrath. Wrath facilitated by the Internet ramblings of the true crime busybodies. The officials can’t allow themselves to be seen as ineffective or unconcerned ...

Whatever Sarah’s cool threads cost it was worth it! Sarah Palin is a fashion plate and she rocks! Truthfully, when in American history have we had any politician at all that rang our bell so well? In the late and great actor Fernando Lamas’ words memorialized by comedian Billy Crystal , “Dahling, you look marvelous!”

Chicago, IL—Second City Cop is reporting that Chicago police officer Mike Mette who is fresh out of that Iowa prison has been attending classes at the academy. That means he was given his star, shield ID card and new pile of training materials. Mette is in what’s called a retread (as in used rubber tires) class held for officers who have been off for extended periods such as leaves of absence. I can’t think of another similar case where an officer was convicted of a crime, sent to prison and later cleared on appeal going back to work. This training covers new laws and departmental rules and procedures and requalification on the firing range. Soon a personnel order will be cut sending him to his permanent assignment. It remains to be seen if he returns to Fillmore (011) or is sent elsewhere. Crimefile wishes Mette the assignment of his choice and some much needed privacy to continue his life. Mette is going to discover the department has changed a lot since he last worked the ...

Chicago, IL — The Barack Obama campaign is planning a massive rally inside Grant Park . Chicago police will never get motivated in today’s political climate to even attempt to control this group once they get out of hand and they will get out of hand. All of Chicago’s strongest supporters of Obama will be on hand to totally destroy that city landmark if McCain wins and probably destroy it even if Obama wins in their jubilation. If I owned property anywhere near Grant Park I’d board up the windows and hire people for security and fire control until the crowd estimated to be well beyond tens of thousands vacate the area. Preparations to accommodate that anticipated huge crowd in Grant Park are already underway. News organizations covering this event need to send their only oldest equipment and give their people helmets and protective vests. I expect to see TV satellite and live trucks burned. There may be a price to pay for members of Chicago’s media that have trashed rank and file...

Los Angeles, CA—TMZ is reporting that actor Michael Madsen was removed from his home by Sheriff’s officers for signs of mental instability. He was placed into treatment on what California designates as a “5150 hold” that requires reasonable belief that Madsen is a danger to himself or others. Madsen, a Chicago boy, may be best remembered for his frightening portrayal of Mr. Blond aka Vic Vega in Quentin Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs . Madsen also played an all American dad in, Free Willy . Madsen has been very busy appearing in many films many of which are currently in production. The Internet Movie Database lists Madsen's participation in a whopping 167 films. I don’t have details but wish Madsen a quick rest and success with any health issues. TMZ has their information here.

I don’t like the message that’s being spread around right now. At least one African-American columnist from the Baltimore Sun has tried to spread fear and racial divide. What I see is a lame attempt at extortionate intimidation to assure Barack Obama gets installed into the Whitehouse. African-Americans can’t have that short a memory. When that happens in our country the death and destruction always becomes localized in the ghettos. The impact, damage and suffering is always heaviest on the African-Americans themselves. A far better idea is move forward encouraging businesses and investors to create jobs. Too many people forget that no government can force anyone to create job opportunities. That only happens when people unite with purpose and energy giving confidence to the business community. That will never happen under Obama’s anti-business Socialist ways. I have no problem with an African-American President. I have a huge problem with a Socialist President of any race....

San Francisco, CA —If some get their way in the City by the Bay, local taxpayers stand to save $11 million dollars a year not including courts and jail costs. It’s on the ballot and It’s called Proposition K and it forbids the local authorities arresting, investigating or prosecuting anyone for sexual commerce between consenting adults. I thought the Indian reservations were going to break ground with this idea like they did with gambling. It just has not happened, yet. I know that prostitution enforcement and the defense lawyers generate as much commerce as the prostitution itself. But this may be a way for cash strapped local governments to save some real money. Police could and should still enforce public indecency laws and preclude child prostitution and child exploitation. I don’t see any real benefit to trying to outlaw the world’s oldest profession. I suspect that decriminalization would mean the hookers would rely less on pimps and panderers and be able to keep more of ...

Tampa, FL Tampa, FL—14 years after Area 2 Detective’s Commander, Jon Burge was fired by the police board and today he was taken into custody by FBI agents. The United States attorney for the Northern District of Illinois announced that “Burge was charged with two counts of obstruction of justice and one count of perjury in a three-count indictment that was returned under seal by a federal grand jury last Thursday and unsealed today following his arrest by FBI agents from Chicago and Tampa." Over several decades Burge was accused of departmental violations and the City of Chicago paid millions in civil damages to various suspects after they claimed officers under Burge’s command tortured them into confessing crimes. The people Burge’s detectives were accused of torturing were among the most notorious cop killers and street gang members in Chicago. Some of the convicted suspects were pardoned by former Governor George Ryan who is currently serving a federal prison term for offici...

Los Angeles, CA —In the City of Angels the inmates are running the asylum. Women can’t carry firearms for protection and because of sheer recklessness rapists are going free. Why you ask? It’s because the LAPD has let over 7000 rape evidence collection kits go untested. That caused hundreds of rape cases to run past the statute of limitations eliminating the possibility of prosecutions. Unforgivable you say? The city’s gun laws held the women down so the rapists could rape with impunity. Then the LAPD made sure the rapists would go free. If you want to rape, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and his solidly Democratic cronies on the city council has declared open season on women. This situation is unfolding as a state budget crisis is forcing the wholesale release of prison inmates. If you like to kidnap and rape women the L.A. city government will protect you with severe gun laws and the city will fix your case and set you free. Read more about this outrage here.

Everyone thinks that the NRA is single minded and only fights for gun rights. The NRA is the number one trainer for police organizations and civilians alike. The training has made Americans safe as they have taught gun owners how to effectively hit their targets. Iraq gun owning population along with folks in the entire Mideast love to celebrate with their firearms. They don't have the NRA but really need their services. As you can see in this video some don’t always pay attention to simple safety rules. What a worthless friend the dumbass is who made the video not to warn about the impending disaster. Don’t let this happen to you…

Phoenix, AZ—B. Michael Dann was a Maricopa County Superior Court judge for 20 years. The last five of those years included replacing Judge Robert C. Broomfield as Presiding Judge when he won a federal Judgeship. Judge Dann is a classy and distinguished fellow who brought several innovations to the court that were copied in other jurisdictions throughout the country. My opinion is that Judge Dann was one of those judicial activists who felt we have a “Living Constitution” that could be simply changed by the courts to be what he believed were the needs of the community. As Presiding Judge, Dann regulated process servers and continued enforcement of a “guideline” that prohibited process servers from carrying firearms in that gun friendly state. It was a guideline rather than law because the Arizona Legislature refused to sanction the rights violation. It was not a court rule since even court rules were and are subject to public debate and Arizona Supreme Court approval. The guidelin...

New York—Governor Sarah Palin rocked Saturday Night Live last night. We have never had a politician with Palin’s kind of grace and charm in my lifetime. Palin is always a pleasure to watch and hear. If you click on the NBC logo you can see it in a larger format and also see the Sarah Palin rap song skit. Here is a CNN post script! Embedded video from CNN Video

This was not about “Joe The Plumber” or the question put to Barack Obama about his tax increase plans. It was Obama’s candid answer that he plans to redistribute the wealth . That’s exactly what Karl Marx was all about. That’s un-American and that form of government has taken us to wars in order to prevent that from happening here. In America we have created checks and balances to prevent a singular viewpoint to rule everyone in this diverse country. With Obama added to Pelosi and Reid as our absolute authority the checks and balances will vanish. The political bloodletting to follow will be painful and prove to be a derisive as any time ever in our country. Our already deeply troubled economy will lose investors and our prolific productivity will end. Obama would be a disaster at this time in our nation. Marshal Law and the suspension of habeas corpus won’t be far behind. We may be in for some serious population control like we had in the 1860s in America. Obama is the conf...

The stock market and perilous economy will react to the election results. Should the Obama Bolsheviks win total control the wealthy Conservative Americans will lose faith and cash out of investments other than the land that they own. Nobody with assets will want to leave them where our new government can take them to redistribute to those who have earned nothing. Say goodbye the Capitalist based economy we once knew. Should John McCain win I predict only a recession we can hope to survive.
