Celebrating the Fourth of July

The cause of Liberty was improved somewhat by the reaffirmation of Americans gun-rights by the Supreme Court.

Other than that things are dismal. We have more people in our prisons than any other nation on earth. Far too many are there for victimless crimes and offenses like Martha Stewart’s misleading some FBI agent. Gun collectors are still facing prison for some really non-dangerous highly technical violations of obscure gun laws.

I have a serious sense of doom as the forces of the Far Left have hijacked both political parties and given us two really pathetic and unqualified candidates to lead our nation. This as we are dealing with what may be the largest bank failure disaster since the Great Depression and as soaring oil prices along with the falling dollar can only bring civil unrest in our cities.

Instead of having social unrest over worthy issues the turmoi will be over demands for an unlimited nanny. In the past Americans would fight over out-of-control taxation, random searching of Americans at government checkpoints and government’s unwanted involvement in every aspect of our lives. Those days of fighting for liberty and freedom are apparently over.

It may be a good idea to see if some of us can get dual citizenship and a second passport from the few non-Socialist countries left of our parents or grandparents. America may never be the, land of the free and home of the brave again in our lifetime.

Why do Americans bother to celebrate a holiday wrapped around the freedom they have rejected long ago?

Not to hijack your posting but, a couple of years ago, I did two one-week seminars at a university in Wuhan, in the People's Republic of China. Outside of the classroom, I got to chat with some of the students and we talked about lots of things. One day, I mentioned the incident you have pictured in this blog. The students were only vaguely familiar with the Tianamen Square incident and, this particular image and the associated standoff between one couragous individual and a Chinese tank, was completely unknown to them.
Yeah, there are a lot of things in the USofA that scare me, and I have a growing dislike of the press for all its prejudice. But it is also true that -- or at least it appears to be true that -- I can still find conflicting opinions, arguments, discussions, revelations and exposes on the net. Those college students in the PRC, however, aren't able to see what I see.
Now the only question is, can I really see what's going on? What don't I know that's not visible to me?
That's where blogging is. You write what you see. I write what I see. And if my writing gets edited or blocked, I'll know it, and I'll raise bloody hell.
Blogging = Freedom of Speech.

The days of free speech on the Internet may be numbered. The politicians hate the fact that their dirty laundry has unlimited life in cyberspace. They are already trying to figure out a way to stop or control political postings before each election.

A 40 Caliber Nightmare Is Caught On Tape.

So you’re confident that that .40 caliber S&W service round will keep you safe. Maybe you’ll have second thoughts after you see this video. One hot summer night in 1994 Tempe and Mesa Arizona police were involved in a pursuit with this suspect who ran into a stranger’s apartment to hide after being shot TWICE in the chest. He was shirtless and you can see the blood pumping out of those two wounds. What’s really frightening is just how agile this fellow is as he struts to the ambulance. If he was not handcuffed and had a knife or a gun, ask yourself if he could still hurt you, your partner or a hostage? If your jurisdiction demands that officers carry either the 9MM or the .40 Caliber S&W it’s time to show this video to your bosses and lobby to have the .45 ACP round authorized. The switch may well reduce the screaming by self-appointed community activists about how many rounds police had to use on a suspect. The really talented and courageous video journalist, Karen Ke...

The origin of the feature film, COME FRIDAY…

CLick On the pictures to see full size versions. Long ago there was a young lady I had the hots for in a big way (Yes, I know that hots is not a word). She was pretty, incredibly bright, and had some real elegance about her. She had a love for children and basic kindness that you don’t often see in someone her age. I met her parents and could understand she came from a much more stable home than mine. I was raised by a single, welfare mom and suddenly found myself way out-classed. For whatever reasons things did not workout they way I had hoped. Sadly for me, we went on our separate ways. From time to time I’d run into this lady in various places where our job had taken us. Whenever this happened my heart would skip a beat or two. I left my hometown Chicago, and moved to Arizona where I founded my detective agency. As a private eye and soon a TV news producer too, my career took me to the highest profile criminal events in Arizona and throughout the country. There’s no question that ...

America Will See Its Worst Race Riot Yet This Summer

Star Prosecution Witness, Rachel Jeantel Sanford, FL —Yes, the George Zimmerman trial here has thousands of African-Americans getting ready for some serious bloodletting. I don’t want to make idle and dire predictions but this nation has never been so divided and racially sensitive.  Our African-American President took sides on this case at the very beginning.  That ratified a George Zimmerman guilty verdict in the minds of millions. There’s just one little problem, and that is the murder case should have never been filed.  It was filed purely for political reasons despite the fact that it was a simple justifiable homicide.  Zimmerman was on the block watch lookout program and followed a suspicious Trayvon Martin after he used an improper entrance to a gated community.  Zimmerman was acting as the eyes and ears of the Sanford Police Department. Martin did not like being followed and knew that he could easily beat up the out-of-shape...
