Chicago, IL —The Windy City’s Political Gadflies will be out in force once again.   They are hosting another so-called Gun Turn In for guns, bb guns and toys.   People once again will be enticed with immunity from arrest and gift cards to turn in virtually anything that even looks like a gun. These events bring people in from suburban areas, Indiana and Wisconsin who are able to sell Chicago some completely unserviceable and worthless firearms.   The truth is that area firearm dealers (remember Chicago has no firearm dealers) go out of their way to collect junk to bring in for substantial profits.   Chicago's gun-rights hating political and religious advocates will all sing and hold hands while they convince each other that they are somehow saving lives.   The problem here is there exists no data whatsoever, anywhere that can even provide a shred of empirical evidence that a single injury or death is prevented by these efforts. One thing fo...

Los Angeles, CA —In the City of Angeles they have the Hollywood Fringe Festival going on right now.   Live theater here is non-stop in this entertainment district.   Standing out is a show called, They Call Me Mr. Fry.   Jack  Fry is a real Los Angeles, inner-city, substitute, fifth grade school teacher.  This is about his first year in what would best be described as somewhat of a combat zone.  In fact the teachers get paid extra for the challenges there. What Jack Fry does in his production is relive the culture shock, fears, hopes, and dreams along with the lives involved in his teaching experience for the audience. Fry delivers a commanding performance as he takes you through school district’s bureaucratic political correctness gone bonkers.   Fry enters a world of gangs, violence, neglect, heartbreak and poverty to capture the attention of his students, long enough to teach them.   Fry’s show has a similar theme to that to...

Washington, DC —With every new tax, restriction of liberty and now dictate to grant amnesty to the trespassers sneaking into this once great nation,  our citizenship is worth much less. America was the land of the free and the home of the brave. Americans were once taxed at a lower rate than nearly any developed nation.  We’ve allowed politicians to create a police state where Americans are groped while entering airports and government buildings.  Our telephone, banking and Internet activities have for all practical purposes become government property. Today tax rates have caused corporation after corporation to relocate to Europe for relief.  That of course has taken millions of jobs from Americans. Today our dictator, Barack Obama has granted blanket amnesty to Illegal aliens and that has officially added a huge number of people to our dire unemployment situation.  That will also place these parasites to the front of the government entitle...

Chicago, IL—The Windy City has been off to a violent start of summer. They have a major shortage of officers to deal with crime. There is a simple solution to deal with this urban nightmare. Ignoring this problem will have dire consequences affecting rental property, businesses and the quality of life for years to come. Chicago’s lost enough taxpayers to safer and less hostile communities. There are several thousand honorably retired Chicago cops around. Loads of them are fit, trained and still have their uniforms and equipment. They can be brought back to cover weekends and evening hours. These officers can be assigned, to less strenuous beats while the younger officers are sent to do the heavy lifting. The retirees should not be forced to reside within the city because many of them moved upon retirement to the suburbs. This will not exceed the overtime rates of regular officers.

Chicago, IL —I’m going to single out WLS-TV 7 , however this applies to every major news organization in the Windy City. I want to begin with a quote from a late and great writer.  You should always keep this quote in mind when reading news stories:  “Journalism is printing what someone else does not want printed: everything else is public relations.” ― George Orwell There has been a racist war on white people primarily on Chicago’s North Loop and Gold Coast areas.  Those engaged in ongoing mob violence are exclusively young African-Americans.  The victims are exclusively white, affluent residents, visitors and tourists.  These are the facts and the Chicago’s administration officials along with the media are well-aware of this but they are engaged in a conspiracy to hide the truth from the public.  The facts are frightening and the public should be warned.  White people need to be warned to avoid young African-Americans b...

Chicago, IL —Let me begin by saying that African-Americans born and raised in Chicago have made important contributions to our military, public safety, medicine, arts, entertainment and business.  This is not an attempt to denigrate people on account of skin color. Nobody knows the truth more than the productive and law-abiding African Americans that have tried to make the Windy City a better place.  This is more about misplaced sensitivities, dangerous and shameful denial. As temperatures rise here African-American criminals commute from South and west side ghettos to stalk, beat, rob, rape and kill white people on Chicago’s Gold Coas t.  This phenomenon is fueled by avarice, greed and simple racial hate.  If they can achieve sufficient numbers unstoppable flash mobs savagely swarm businesses and victims.   Bank robber Willie Sutton said it best when a reporter asked him, why he robbed banks?  Sutton answered with a smile, “That’s wher...

Los Angeles, CA—Les Miserables is a book written by the late Victor Hugo . This classic novel was published during our own Civil War.  It’s about 19 years of events and a political climate that ended in an insurrection in in France in 1832.   The story unfolds around, a man Jean Valjean who burglarized a bakery for a loaf of bread. Times were tough for this man who was arrested and imprisoned at hard labor.  His five-year sentence was lengthened considerably after numerous failed escape attempts. Valjean is finally released and briefly returns to crime breaking parole. Soon Valjean sees the error of his ways and established a new identity and undergoes a dramatic change for the better managing to become a wealthy manufacturer and benevolent town mayor.  Along the way Valjean winds up with a victimized and orphaned little girl, Cozette to care for and to raise as his own.  In the middle of this mess a revolution is going on and all Hell breaks loos...

Santa Monica, CA -Pacific Coast Highway is an incredibly scenic stretch of highway next to the ocean. June 8 th was a particularly nice morning for the somewhat troubled young actress Lindsay Lohan .   Lohan was either a passenger in or driving a black Porsche Northbound in the 1100 block on her way to portray the late and great Elizabeth Taylor in a biopic film. Something unexpected happened.  There was a collision between a large dump truck driven by an African-American male and Lohan’s black Porsche. Lohan and a male occupant of the Porsche were injured.  They were being followed by a SUV that stopped and rendered aid to the injured.  Aid was rendered and the insurance information was exchanged.  Once that happens no driver is required to remain at the scene for any reason including talking to police or proving themselves sober. Santa Monica Police responded to a call by the truck driver.  Police checked all three occupants of b...

Chicago, IL —Today in 168 places across the United States, upwards of 100,000 people, mostly Christians and Jews held peaceful joint protest demonstrations against the Obama Administration .  Specifically mandates requiring tax funds to be used for birth control and abortion in Obama’s massive Health Care law. This was about America and our longstanding institution of religious freedom that has been revoked by Barack Obama and his unelected and un-vetted Czars. Some 2,000 people came to Chicago’s demonstration as impressive numbers were also assembled in cities from coast to coast.  You never heard from the media this was going to happen and when it did the media again refused to report that it happened.    The reason is beyond simple the mainstream media is dominated by Leftists.  They have become a political machine, that’s committed to saving Obama from any embarrassment or exposing his loss of popularity.  The mainstream media is by...

Berlin, Germany —After a desperate and very intense worldwide manhunt, Canadian murder suspect Luka Magnotta was arrested outside of an Internet café without incident.   This story was twisted and depraved from the beginning.  Body parts were delivered to various politicians.  Threats and a strange video purportedly of Magnotta feeding a live kitten to a snake surfaced.  Suggestions of cannibalism were being published and broadcast everywhere. Magnotta is Gay and a porn star to boot.  We all seem to forget that porn and being Gay is legal these days anywhere in the free world.  The truth is that this lad’s lifestyle is considered disturbing and depraved to a huge segment of the world's population.  He is the classic, usual suspect. They called him everything from a zombie killer to a master of disguise.  Sensationalism elevated this apparent murder to the front pages of all the world’s papers.  But now with additional body par...

Go Pro Camera with WiFi kit Chicago, IL —During the recent NATO protests in the Windy City, there were as many as a dozen people using IPads and IPhones to broadcast live streaming video to the Internet. The images were only as good as the WiFi connections available and the tiny camera lenses would permit.  Some were better than others.  The real breakthrough here was that this technological marvel could be managed by nearly anyone. I spent several hours watching what the NATO protest I-cameras were broadcasting and found it interesting along with some very candid remarks by protesters.   I had to guess the locations they were broadcasting from, by the local landmarks because the camera operators were not professional or even marginal reporters.  They simply let the cameras roll. Perhaps ustream.com or the camera makers could direct their consumers to some places where they could get some very basic reporter instruction.  Reporting on...

New York, NY—Fox News Channe l came on the scene when there was no media voice that countered the constant and uninterrupted tidal wave of Liberal propaganda from every TV screen.   Fox was and is a cable channel that managed to beat every other news competitor specifically CNN and MSNBC at the ratings game. Fox News was always weak in broadcasting breaking news video because they never invested enough into resources.  Instead they toss a few reporter generated stories around and do the bare minimum on breaking news.  If the story happens in a location where they have no assets video is painfully slow to be shown on Fox.  What Fox News did do right was to have Conservative talking heads that offered up something different from the rest.  They had Glen Beck and Judge Andrew Napolitano to counter the onslaught of the Left Wing broadcasters.   That has all changed for the worse. Radio survived after many stations brought in Rush Limbaugh ...

Washington, DC—Barack Obama promised Hope and Change from the Bush Administration’s eight-year disaster.  The primary complaints by the Democrats included that Bush had involved us in two incredibly expensive Mideast Wars.  Bush supported and signed the dreaded Patriot Act.  The Bush Administration was simply not transparent enough.  The economy was faltering and America needed jobs.   Frankly, I can’t argue against the fact that George W. Bush was one of our worst presidents ever. Desperate Americans elected a nearly total stranger with a broad smile who was a lot younger than his opposition, that has-been dinosaur, Senator John McCain .   McCain a well-known Republican pretender was simply unable to excite or attract Conservative voters to the polls.  With only the Left and African-Americans going to the polls Obama won the otherwise lackluster election. Now with his first term set to expire, nobody can argue that Obama didn’...

Grieving parents of thugs everywhere seem to relentlessly whine and carp when someone seriously hurts or kills their thuggish son.   Yes, it’s nearly always a son because daughters are rarely involved in these things.   Many parents want their sons to appear tough and fearsome and don’t discourage their violent manifestations.   It’s really not too much to ask young men to keep their hands and weapons to themselves.  Those that can behave, never wind up dead or in the hospital because a victim hurt them that they were assaulting.   Some 21 states adopted the so-called Stand Your Ground or similar Castle Doctrine laws .   In these states thugs that terrorize others can simply be shot or stabbed dead by their intended victims.  These laws protect the weak, elderly and women from being over-powered and severely injured or worse.  What’s wrong with that?  Too many young males are involved in risky behavior...

Chicago, IL —In just over 12 hours 25 people have been shot including a six year-old girl.   Cold-blooded murder appears to be the favorite hobby of Chicago’s Black population.  Is this racist?  Perhaps they are hate crimes?  It is genocide but on a much greater scale than the Ku Klux Klan ever pulled off. This is happening because of our polite society’s fear of being labeled racist, intolerant or bigoted.  We simply tolerate this carnage and refuse to identify and condemn the cultural phenomenon behind this urban terror.  Toleration of a bankrupt and vile culture is the root of the problem.  Until we face this fact we can never begin to bring any positive change. Until we stand up and make war on ghetto thugs we can expect this horror every day.      The politicians have blamed American gun rights for Chicago’s killing fields.   That assessment is absolutely correct!  But these ignorant politician...

Washington, DC —At the end of the Civil War Congress passed the Posse Comitatus Act that prohibited our military forces from law enforcement activities on our own soil.  There was enough horror inflicted by soldiers burning down homes all over the American South.  Wanton acts of cruelty by military forces on American civilians were beyond shocking. Our Congress has steadfastly refused to turn this kind of absolute power to the government until Barack Obama wanted it.  That along with the power to imprison Americans without lawyers, trials or Due Process has placed us all in the crosshairs of an absolute tyrant.  These are just some of the very powers that Josef Stalin and Adolph Hitler had to massacre millions of their own citizens.  Additionally the despots of World War Two never had the kind of comprehensive data collected and stored on computer of every man, woman and child like our government collects today.  A tyrant today in our ...

Chicago, IL—Barack Obam a has used different names, Social Security numbers and there is more than enough evidence to prove he’s not a Natural Born Citizen.  It’s also apparent now that he’s got a British passport and perhaps others. Obama and his wife were on the rolls of qualified lawyers in Illinois.  They have been removed from the rolls in a matter other than simple retirement.  The State Bar has refused to indicate why they were removed.  The Illinois State Bar has a website you can check yourself.   Were they disbarred for making false applications after investigation into documents they provided? The findings of well-qualified experts have made a compelling case that the offered Hawaiian birth certificate for Obama is an obvious forgery. Why then, has the media and the majority of members of Congress simply put the Birth issue aside?  The same is true for the faux Conservative,  Fox News.  Far too many people simply don...

Chicago, IL —Secretly recording a conversation you have engaged with anyone carries severe penalties reserved only for our most violent crimes.  I’m not talking about wiretapping or capturing conversations of others but your very own!  These recording prohibitions only exist in the jurisdictions with the grandest histories of political corruption.  The reason for these laws is not for the protection of privacy but to protect politicians and bureaucrats from having these recording used against them in criminal or civil prosecutions. The building inspector suggests that your code violations can go away with the right inducement to him.  A politician or his campaign aid promises support for your contract to perform work for the county provided you support his political war chest.  This kind of corruption is commonplace in nearly every large city in America. I remember when Arizona lobbyist friends telling me how relieved they were when limits were p...

Take the fight out of Chicago's rioters with some plain water Chicago, IL —Today I watched some interesting video that I suspect has or will lead to excessive Injury On Duty Injury reports for Windy City’s finest.  I also expect a rush to medical providers and civil lawyers by those who made the mistake of assaulting Chicago cops. When I was living in Germany 1968-1970, I watched the, Frankfurt Stadt Polizei deal with their hippies and troublemakers.  The cops in Frankfurt always made short work of crowd control with minimal injuries to all.   Was it magic?  Brutality? No!  It was just plain water. All over Europe they use vehicle mounted, water cannons to quell disturbances.  They soak the troublemakers, who soon get very uncomfortable and very cold.  Police can identify the problem people because they are all wet and shivering.   They only want to go home after a good soaking.  For many of them this is the only time ...
