Los Angeles, CA-- Do you have a cause, perhaps a beef with your government, school, employer, homeowners association or even the news media?  Do you have something you need to promote or sell?  You can unleash that beast in your smartphone and get results!  If your voice is not being heard you’ve apparently found yourself helpless in calling attention to your situation.  Don’t expect others to speak up for you, but now you can speak up for yourself through technology. Yes, you can tell your story to the masses on your own terms.  It’s far easier than you may think.   Your smartphone has a powerful video camera and video editing system.  You just must be able to tell a coherent and compelling story.  You use that smartphone to shoot, write, edit and create your story just as any seasoned TV journalist or vlogger would. You simply sign up for a free Youtube account.  An important part is creating the tags or search words that...

Breezy Love Rocking! Winettka, IL —My work has taken me to Europe, Mexico and even India.  I’ve met some amazing people during my adventures.  Last summer I somehow found myself at a great concert.  The venue was the spacious back yard of a beautiful home where some wonderful intimate concerts are held.  The weather could not have been nicer.  I had an elegant date for the evening but we did not quite know what to expect.  I loaded up with the wine, cheese grapes and other snacks in lieu of dinner. I grabbed a front row seat and the show began.  The opening act was a precocious and amazing teen, Breezy Love .  She writes, sings and plays a guitar.   Soon she was wowing the audience with her raw talent.  This youngster absolutely owned her audience as few pros can ever equal.  The star of the show was, Logan Brill who was not in anyway, chopped liver she has been honing her craft already for years.  Logan did n...

Officer Richard Nuccio circa 1968 Chicago IL --It was 50 years ago in June of 1968.  The location was the old Franksville hotdog stand just across the street from Wrigley Field. There was a Town Hall District Cop, Richard Nuccio, just two years on the job.   He apparently had an ongoing situation with a neighborhood lad, 20 year-old, Ronald Nelson .   Nuccio allegedly once exercised an unusual act of curbside justice.   In the brutal Chicago wintertime Nuccio supposedly took away Nelson’s shoes and ordered him to walk nearly a mile barefoot in the snow as he slowly followed him in his squad car.   Things came to a head in early June of 1968, as Nuccio chased Nelson on foot at the popular hot dog stand across from the ballpark.  Nuccio shot Nelson in the back killing him.  A 3 1/2” knife was recovered that Nuccio claimed Nelson threw at him.  The rub here was Nelson was shot after the knife  was thrown that actu...

Chicago, IL —Chicago’s politicians have steadily used the police pension fund as their personal ATMs looting millions.  It’s no secret it will fail at some point soon.   Were the board members asleep while this was happening?  Were they complicit or just negligent? One thing for sure the pension was not aggressively protected or it would be solvent today. Retired officer, Rosemarie Giambalvo has fought for the rights of disabled officers for many years.  She’s fought for retirees along with the disabled too. Ro really earned a spot on the Pension Board and now needs the votes to make it happen.  I anticipate Ro flashing her razor sharp bulldog teeth and making life really miserable for those victimizing retirees.  Ro will never get in bed with the city politicians and administrators.  It’s long past time to bring new watchdogs to secure retirement of Chicago cops.  Vote for Ro! 

This case was prosecuted for purly political reasons!

Los Angeles, CA —The future is already here and so many adults have been left in the dirt. They like all of us communicate by voice and in writing.  However technology has given all of us huge megaphones.  The Internet came and so did huge advances in video-making equipment.  While most of us were sleeping, Democracy suddenly came to mass media.   You no longer had to be rich like William Randolph Hearst who could afford huge printing presses and bought ink by the barrel to get your message out to millions.   David Sarnoff and a handful of others created the radio and television empire, RCA that morphed into NBC .   It took untold billions in equipment for RCA to broadcast moving pictures with sound to their fellow Americans. That’s all changed now with a computer and as little as $500.00 in equipment anyone can create and broadcast watchable video on the World Wide Web.   That video is far s...

Manhattan Beach, CA —I met with my favorite Media Guru, Michael Rosenblum  yesterday.     He’s a long time TV producer and founder of TheVJ.com .   Michael is giving 30 rookie Video Journalists their hands on training to cover news for Spectrum’s SOCAL-1 , 24/7 news startup.     I suspect there’s no doubt that this offering will shake up the L.A. news market in a big way.    Gone at SOCAL News1 are the news crews and the obscenely expensive TV gear.  The news stories will either work or fail through the individual efforts of these hand picked youngsters.  These lucky VJ’s will be seen by all manner of agents, producers and TV network decision makers. Those talented ones, that shine will have unlimited opportunities.   Spectrum has already done the same thing in NYC and this concept is spreading over the nation. Traditional TV new is in a death spiral over their insane fear of making the slightest ...

That Racially Charged Chicago case is beginning this week with jury selection.  This is my take on this mess.

Los Angeles, CA -- LAPD Public relations people are spinning like a top to somehow sanitize their killing of a hostage.  Frankly they should have incapacitated or shot the offender dead before he was able to grab his innocent hostage.  Officers managed to actually kill the hostage with two misplaced rounds.   The offender, a career piece of shit, deserved his fate. Could this be the result of cops being fearful of Leftist and minority political retaliation?  Did they wait until the situation was even more dire and out of control before they shot this bastard?   T he LAPD officer's Marksmanship is way over-rated in movies and television!  Additional police training cost money that the Democratic City Administration would rather waste elsewhere instead. 

Melyda "Mel" Corado Los Angeles, CA --It all began as a dispute between a 28 year-old drug addicted freeloader, Gene Adkins and his 79 year-old grandmother, Mary Elizabeth Madison in South L.A.  Adkins allegedly shot his grandmother seven times with a handgun.  In the process a 20 year-old woman that was Adkin’s yet to be identified girlfriend suffered a bullet graze wound to her head. Adkins allegedly then stole his grandmother’s car and kidnapped the girlfriend.   Suspect Gene Adkins being loaded into an ambulance In Hollywood, the police caught up with the stolen car that was equipped with a GPS tracking device and the chase began.   Adkins soon crashed his car near the entrance of the Silver Lake Trader Joe’s and was exchanging gunfire  with police as he sought refuge inside of the crowded supermarket.  Apparently Adkins was wounded in his left arm by police.  That’s when the store manager, Melyda “Mel” Corado was also stru...

Chicago, IL—Dick Wolfe is a prolific and wildly successful writer and producer.     Everything he puts a pen to, is absolutely golden.     That is,  except his offering called, Chicago Justice .  Wolf replaced the grit and smell of courtrooms and death with silk stockinged lawyers from Ivy League schools working as prosecutors and criminal defense lawyers.  That’s just not Chicago.   If you’ve ever been in a Cook County Criminal Court the first thing you notice is the lawyers, especially the males dress down.  They for the most part attended the local law schools like DePaul, John Marshall and ITT Chicago Kent .  These schools are more affordable but the alumni find that their job offers are limited.  Let me make it clear that many terrific and dedicated lawyers attend these schools. Dick Wolf’s legal offices and courtroom settings all have new, polished and tasteful décor.  ...

Dana Kathryn with Charlie Studio City, CA —On Ventura Blvd, in this upscale Coldwater Curve Area area are various boutiques that cater to the glamorous local ladies.     One such small business is, Dana Kathryn Jewelry . The owner, who has personally suffered at least three earlier violent robberies, staffs this small elegant shop.    They say many Conservatives were Liberals that were once mugged.  There is a lot of truth in that statement here.   The shop’s owner, Dana Kathryn had taken several steps to prevent her business from being victimized.  In addition to an alarm with surveillance cameras she acquired a beautiful German Sheppard dog, Charlie and a gun that may have just saved her life.   Yesterday two thugs entered her shop, assaulted her along with two customers with a powerful disabling chemical spray.   They then used a hammer to destroy jewelry display cases and they were in th...

Hitler’s Hollywood, is a a documentary film about how Joseph Goebbels reinvented Hollywood film making for the Third Reich. After completely cleansing Jews out of filmmaking, Goebbels used the relatively new media of talkie films to legitimize anti-Semitism and euthanasia as he glorified the concept of people sacrificing their own lives for the honor of the Third Reich.   Goebbels was able to oversee the subtle mixture of entertainment, art and propaganda to indoctrinate Germany and soon all of Europe.   There was no television during the Nazi administration 1933-1945 so attending your local movie house was your only option for seeing films.  Before you could enjoy the Nazi entertainment film at your local theaters they’d show a newsreel (Fake News ) film.  There were potentially serious consequences for those movie goers that came to movie houses purposly late avoiding the newsreels. That was seen as a form of resistance by the Nazis...

Richard D. Gierloff  1950-2018 Gilbert, Arizona—It’s with great sadness that I must report on the death of Phoenix, Uber-Lawyer, Richard D. Gierloff this past Monday (04-09-18). Richard was my personal lawyer, mentor and friend for well over three decades.  He handled criminal cases exclusively, including many death penalty matters.  He took on each case as a matter of life and death for his clients.  He never undertook his duties in a lighthearted manner.  Richard was a very meticulous winner. Richard began his working life as a drug abuse counselor; soon he entered the University of Arizona Law School.  He went on to become one of Arizona’s greatest lawyers.  I was really pleased to work as his investigator on so many high profile cases.  Together we had many great victories.    Richard was stricken with throat cancer last year and waged a courageous battle.  He was ...

The official star of the CTA Police In Chicago, the Chicago Transit Authority best known as the CTA once had its own police department.  There were about 100 male cops that were called, CTA dicks.   They were trained and armed to deal with the muggers, sex offenders and fare jumpers that always plague public transit.  There was a slight problem.  Since they wore plain clothes and were a predominantly white group they were choice targets of roving groups of black criminals.    The CTA dicks were sending more thugs to the hereafter then any police agency in the state of Illinois including Chicago cops.  Most of these shootings were somehow magically kept out of the news!  The vast majority of the thugs killed by the CTA dicks were career felons.  Others were youngsters just beginning their lives of crime.   The bogus screams of racism and murder by cops became a PR nightmare.  So in the early 1970s they put a...
