Phoenix, AZ -Nearly a decade ago I met a pretty lady in Phoenix. She had a couple of guitars and I learned she was a singer and actress. Darl Chryst was introduced to me by former, A Current Affair and now KTVK-TV’s ace reporter Mike Watkiss . Chryst was not famous, at least by my standards and I never heard her sing until now. There are those lucky people that discovered this lady in local venues where they could hear this gifted songbird do her magic. Sometimes amazing talent never finds the right venue. Everyday life, family and day jobs steal a lot of great entertainment from our eyes and ears. YouTube is amazing because you don’t need to be related to or sleep with someone to get a chance at stardom. It is truly an equal opportunity venue. Learn more about Chryst here. I think this lady’s time in the sun is overdue.

Springfield, IL —For every struggling, taxpaying citizen, this month you will get a rude surprise from your leaders. That $15.00 Driver’s license renewal fee is now $35.00. Because you must produce a driver’s license or face jail they have you by the balls. The ultimate extortion demand is on your plate. Pay or go to jail. There is no reason for taxpayers to continue living under these conditions. Illinois politicians have become ruthless pirates that must be and can be stopped. When does the resistance begin? When do the homes of public officials start to burn down unexpectedly? When do public official’s faces begin to show up on milk cartons? Perhaps it’s time to make sure that our aldermen, county board members, legislators, and mayors beef up their personal security. Perhaps some broken windows, slashed tires and displays of sheer anger might help get these pirate’s minds right. It’s a small start. This is not an issue of Democrat vs Republican but one much more sinister, slav...

Chicago, IL —The pro- Obama/Daley forces are screaming today. That are passing the blame around to everyone they can. They’re mad because too many of them gambled their personal fortunes of getting the games in Chicago. I hope to see some bankruptcies filed by the politically connected losers that speculated with land investments. The blame needs to rest squarely on the shoulders of the Obama/Daley/Burke Crime Families . This was about dodging the world class corruption Chicago is so famous for. Why should wonderful young athletes from all over the world be tainted by the extortion, bribery, and savage violence in Chicago? Thankfully Chicago's politicians could not silence bloggers like Second City Cop or myself. Many people wrote letters to the IOC urging them to not dishonor the Olympians by holding the games in Chicago. There were the videos on YouTube and thankfully the IOC did the right thing for Chicago’s taxpayers. This is not an issue of Republicans, Democrats, ...

In a society where even local government can’t resist taking control of absolutely every aspect of our lives, sooner or later they run out of our money. They are perennially and relentlessly expanding their turf and responsibilities. Our political incumbents learned long ago that the best way to get campaign contributions is to hand out lucrative contracts for crap we don’t need to savvy parasites willing to bribe. Tax revenue is diverted from simple things we do need like police and fire protection along with schools and libraries. Of course our politicians arrange to have exquisitely furnished palatial surroundings that reinforce their own importance. The incumbent politicians stay awake nights dreaming of things that they can build. Since they can only build government buildings they must next fill them with people doing all kinds of make-work projects. When these guardians of the public trust run out of our money for the things we do need they play the only game they know, exto...

Copenhagen, Denmark —They all came to grovel before the International Olympic committee. Barack & Michelle Obama with Mayor Richard M. Daley along with Billionaire Obama hanger-on, Oprah Winfrey . Yep, they all brought their knee pads. Despite a city evenly split for and against hoisting the games, an African-American community actively engaged in a self-genocide campaign and the reality of local taxpayers paying off debts for the next five decades, Chicago’s worst whined, begged and probably bribed a bunch of the IOC honchos for the corruption opportunity of a lifetime. How much money was ripped from the pockets of American families to fund that nonsense? Will Valerie Jarrett now have to file bankruptcy? She owns all that land they planed to condemn for the games. Maybe she can donate the land for those midnight basketball programs! I guess Obama and the Chicago Mob have lost their clout. How many setbacks will it take before these parasites let go? Will we have to use force and...

Los Angeles, CA —In a bankrupt state that is trying to figure a way to release 60,000 criminals from their prisons, it’s obvious that fugitive film director Roman Polanski is serving as pure entertainment. Is this just a way for L.A. County DA Steve Cooley to get some much needed press attention? I know that despite a broken plea agreement, the fact that Polanski actually already served prison time or there was judicial and prosecutorial misconduct, many Americans want Polanski punished even more. Public safety is hardly an issue since Polanski has not set foot on American soil in over three decades. At age 76, Polanski is incapable of ever committing any similar crimes again. To facilitate the extradition taxpayers will be required to spend a bundle litigating the issue in a Swiss court. After that they must arrange secure taxpayer funded transportation and housing getting Polanski to Los Angeles. That is far from cheap. Once Polanski arrives, tax payers get punished some more while...

Phoenix, AZ —I personally lobbied at the Arizona Legislature on gun control issues for many years. I’d like to think the concealed weapon law that exists passed with my personal influence. Most of the language including the provision to keep the records private I wrote myself. The primary sponsor of that Legislation was the late, Dave Carson who served in the House of Representatives from Prescott. It was a hard fought battle that was nothing short of a stunning success. People with the permits were stopping crimes and those people committing gun crimes never have the permits. Law enforcement officers are comfortable on traffic stops when motorists flash the permits. The law unquestionably enhances public safety. Finally the law was amended so you can have dinner in a restaurant that serves alcohol and carry your permitted concealed weapon. You can even be present in a tavern provided you’re not drinking alcoholic beverages. Bills to allow that passed before but were vetoed b...

Los Angeles, CA -There was once a little guy of Five-feet-four with a slight build. He answered the call of duty during World War Two where he was seriously wounded and earned a Bronze Star and Purple Heart. This tenacious little man made a big impact during his time on this earth. This man was a writer breaking ground in the new media of television entertainment. His writing covered a lot of ground but his flashback nightmares of the war gave him ideas for his most memorable and wonderful TV series, Twilight Zone . Twilight Zone first came to our television sets 50 years ago in October of 1959. The Twilight Zone treatment and a few of its early 20 minute scripts sat idle and grew hair for 11 years until some CBS suit took a gamble on this strange show and gave it a green light. The series ran for five years and featured some wonderful actors including my dear friend, actress Ann Jillian who at age 13 starred in an episode called, The Mute. Steven Spielberg made his film trilogy...

Chicago, IL —They went out and terrorized the African-Americans with savage brutality. They intimidated and murdered, being inspired by pure hate. They said the Ku Klux Klan’s days were over. They said the Klan was run out of America but they were wrong. The new KKK is here and hateful as ever. Age and sex does not matter to these bigots as they keep the Cook County Morgue, and hospital emergency rooms overflowing with genuine hate crime victims. The killing of Chicago’s African-Americans is so effective it can be considered genocide. The old KKK did not hold a candle to Chicago's new breed. The new Klan kills with more effectiveness than ever. They are diligently working on the Final Solution to the African-American Problem . They are more frightening than ever. Today the new breed of hate mongers, are themselves, all African-American like their victims.

Chicago, IL —Why give corrupt city bagman the unlimited opportunity to extort cash from every business or vender involved with the 2016 Olympics ? Why should visitors and athletes from all over the world be at the mercy of Chicago street gangs that outnumber cops by 75 to one? Why are they hiding the truth from Chicago’s taxpayers about the fact they will be paying for this horrible mistake for the next four or five decades? Why is the local Chicago media involved in the suppression of any reports about the resistance to the 2016 Olympics?

Chicago, IL —Chicago’s African-American culture of violence once again manifested itself in the brutal beating death of 17 year-old, Derrion Albert. A video shows the orgy of violence between two groups. No word on the origin of their dispute has managed to surface. The video was shot at on the 300 block of West 111th Street. In the meantime Mayor Daley blows money on the Olympics instead of dealing with less important matters such as human life. Every decision whether to pay contractors for things Chicago does not need or to hire more cops, ends with generous extortion payments disguised as campaign contributions from the contractors. So far, no arrests have been made in this insurrection. Watch the sanitized video of these wonderful people having fun below:

Zurich, Switzerland —The Associated Press has reported that Swiss authorities have arrested fugitive film director, and Holocaust survivor, Roman Polanski . The arrest was in connection with a warrant issued after Los Angeles authorities reneged on a plea agreement they entered into with Polanski, 76 on charges related to sexual activity with a willing 13 year old girl in 1977. Recently in Los Angeles, lawyers for Polanski have taken up this matter asking that the warrant be quashed and any orders to punish Polanski outside the original plea agreement be vacated. So far the courts have ruled that in order for Polanski’s request to even be considered he must surrender to the court. That ruling is currently under appeal but may be mute if Polanski is returned to L.A. Polanski had traveled to Zurich for a film festival where he was to receive an award. Instead Polanski was arrested. Polanski will be able to contest his extradition before a Swiss court. We will have to wait and see what...

Chicago, IL —Segregation or violence in Chicago public schools never was a serious issue until the Supreme Court struck down the one-year residency requirement as a qualification to receive free money or public assistance. Southern politicians gave all of their freeloaders $5.00 and a free one way bus ticket sending them to the Northern big cities. You see Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin all paid three or four times in welfare what Mississippi and Alabama did. Yes, the migrants were nearly 100% African-American. The migrants brought their poverty, ignorance and crime with them. Real estate in Chicago was manipulated through the infamous blockbusting explosion and the vertical ghetto was born. The migrants were given fee housing in sprawling new high rise buildings. The migrants were not used to running water, sanitation matters or living in a crowded urban environment. The results were horrible. The vertical ghettos became incredibly miserable. The inmates preyed upon each ot...

Chicago, IL —In The Fifth Congressional District there is a need for a strong Liberty loving voice demanding a return to the American principals our founding fathers risked everything to provide for us. Politicians from both parties have lost their way as they fallen into a trap of big government corruption. Greed has become the prime motivator that has caused politicians to put Americans into virtual tax slavery and total dependence on government for the basic right to exist. Rosanna Pulido has a plan to return opportunity, freedom, and self-reliance to the once proud Americans living in her district. Chicago was put on the road to ruin by the Daley/Burke Crime Families that brought us the Marxist regime of Barack Obama . That bunch needs to be derailed for good. Chicagoans can take back their rights and make that city and its suburbs an attractive place for businesses and families to prosper. Chicago’s businesses have fled in droves taking their jobs and prosperity with them....

Chowchilla, CA —She was the dean of California’s incarcerated women having been locked up longer than any other woman in the Golden State’s prison system. Yesterday Susan Atkins finally died of brain cancer. Her 1969 crimes were an orgy of nasty killings that left at least seven dead. Susan Atkins seemed to have eventually come to her senses and embraced remorse, regret and resignation for the horror she so willingly helped unleash in Los Angeles. Atkins not only participated in the destruction of the victim’s lives but she destroyed her own along the way. She and her co-killers beat a well deserved death sentence but living the rest of their lives as a caged wild animals may have been much worse than a quick death in San Quentin’s gas chamber. Atkins death has not ended the suffering or sense of loss of the Manson family victim’s loved ones. Closure by punishment is not the victim’s Nirvana that prosecutors claim. There may be a tiny measure of satisfaction at the idea of justice be...

Baltimore, MD —It’s really all about evil words that rolled off of the tongues of ACORN community consultants, Tonja Thompson and Shera Williams . These two ladies eagerly entered into a criminal conspiracy to facilitate theft, bank fraud, tax fraud, prostitution, money laundering, immigration crimes and of course child prostitution. The civil complaint was filed today by ACORN’s lawyers in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City. If the case survives the summary judgment phase it conceivably will be sent to a jury where a simple majority vote would prevail. Thompson and Williams are part of a tax supported criminal organization that has perpetrated a decades old crime wave. ACORN has been protected by government officials in an organized crime operation that would even have made Al Capone envious. The disgusting display of Thompson and Williams was never intended by them to be heard by anyone not involved in the criminal conspiracy. It’s now clear that ACORN and their agents feel p...

I was poking around YouTube videos and found this by accident. I’m a fan of the Andrew Lloyd Webber Play Evita and love the scene where Juan Perone’s little mistress gets evicted from the palace by his new and opportunistic squeeze. The song, Another Suitcase In Another Hall is sung by the sad former and now jilted lover. I never thought of that song being sung by a man but apparently that can work. Through the magic of home video production, a little work and talent a simple song can become a creative and clever diversion. By splitting a screen, one actor can play two parts and do a little magic with the audio. Watch the fun result below.

Venice, CA —Like its Italian namesake, this city has a large canal where Lincoln Avenue used to be. This is happening all over the Los Angeles area since they have gone on a water conservation kick complete with legal penalties for violations. The conservation effort worked, at least kind of, as a lot of additional pressure was put on the pipes. The result is too much water with nowhere to go except until the water mains actually explode. L.A.’s water pipes are too old to handle the stress and as a result much more water is wasted and homes and businesses got flooded. I guess they need to rethink their water conservation plans. They must be learning how the road to Hell is paved too often with good intentions.

Washington, DC —The Obama Administration knows they have lost their majority and are facing serious resistance to their agenda. The Obama agenda is grinding to a halt as Americans and some elected officials are discovering the reality that we are in the middle of a creeping Marxist revolution. Obama will never accept defeat of his agenda and can be expected to do what all Communists do, rule with an iron fist. Anyone who is not fully aware by now that Obama is a textbook Marxist is either a moron or a total fool. Obama’s vast entourage is looking to use a force of felons, illegal aliens and even foreign troops to topple Conservative resistance. They are hoping to get a portion of America’s law enforcement and the military to back Obama rather than the American ideal and our Constitution. Radio, Internet and Television will be subject to total emergency censorship government control. Obama will promise instant cash, citizenship, and pardons to their new recruits with nothing to lose ...

Hollywood, CA —I’m not the only licensed PI in L.A. I’m not the only PI that came from the ranks law enforcement to become and PI and operate an active Internet blog. In Cyberspace the stars collided as Hi-Caliber Investigations and Crimefile News finally met for the first time in person. Just like me Hi-Caliber Investigations CEO Bill Rhetts loves guns, cameras and gadgets. The scene of this event was at a book signing for long time Arizona journalist turned true crime writer, Camille Kimball . Kimball was selling her book that exposes two serial snipers that paralyzed Phoenix, Arizona in 2006. Before that reign of terror ended there were 37 victims including eight dead. You will see a review of Kimball’s Book called, A Sudden Shot as soon as I read it. As for Rhetts, his office is located inside the Inland Empire near one of the busiest criminal courts in the nation. Rhetts cut his teeth as a copper for the LAPD and now enjoys the life of a private eye that brings with it the ab...
