Chowchilla, CA —A parole hearing was held here for former Charles Manson follower Susan Atkins who was present on a hospital gurney. Terminally ill from cancer, Atkins has lost a leg and lays permanently paralyzed. Atkins confessed to participating in a depraved orgy of stabbing, cutting, killing and horror of 40 years ago in what has been called the Tate-Labianca murders . Atkins has since rejected her former life and became a model prisoner. Atkins has been incarcerated longer than any other woman after her death sentence was vacated by the US Supreme Court, in Furman vs Georgia, 408 U.S. 238 (1972). I’m lost on the benefit of continued imprisonment of this pathetic and helpless killer. Atkins will never survive to see the parole board ever again. The only question that remains is can Atkins find redemption and salvation after the monstrous acts of a crazy, drugged kid under the influence of a maniac? Forgiveness has never surfaced for Atkins from the living that are related to th...

Phoenix, AZ —Television news can claim responsibility since news starved reporters and producers love to do those stories always showing us how we are at risk for illness, injury or death. They hype each and every hazard to death. It’s never about safety but TV ratings. The latest campaign is texting while driving. Nitwits with cell phones crash because of inattention to their driving. Is this some new problem? Not hardly. Drivers have been preoccupied since the automobile first rolled off the assembly line a hundred years ago. Okay I will concede that texting is new, but so what? Then there is that political creature at the Legislature that needs free publicity. They find some pathetic grieving mother who lost a child in a texting related accident and the stars all are placed into alignment. The bill is crafted and named after the victim. The sweeps period, press conference is held complete with tears, and that gut wrenching story of horror. Suddenly the politician saves the day...

Chicago, IL —All people entering the Daley Center or any of Chicago's courthouses, aside from cops, employees and lawyers must submit to being searched like a criminal. The frisking is the result of a nearly four decade-old court order. That original order was put in place by the late Presiding Criminal Division Judge Joseph A. Power . He ordered the searching after the attempted escape and shooting that killed condemned murderer Gene "Ice Man" Lewis and wounded two lawyers at 26 th & California. I've always taken personal exception to this intrusion as a direct Fourth Amendment violation since there is zero probable cause for these searches. They make a weak but sustained argument that the searches are consensual since people can avoid entering the building altogether. Of course many people are there because of jury summonses, witness subpoenas and other compulsory reasons. The Daley center houses lots of local governmental offices aside from a number of court...

Chicago, IL —In one of several recent trips to my hometown, Chicago I noticed a disturbing racial phenomena going on. The same thing is happening in California. This change is happening primarily at the state level but is most concentrated in the larger cities. The inner cities are overloaded with unemployable, uneducated, violent and parasitic people. They are the majority and their elected representatives have a united goal to tax the working minority unto submission. The Northwest side of Chicago has had decades of economic prosperity. Not anymore those thousands of neat little brick bungalows with the manicured lawns are today a realtor’s worst nightmare. Loads of displaced lowlifes from demolished public housing have been resettled to the Northwest side complete with their drugs, gangs and hopeless blight. The schools have become too dangerous because of the migration. The old guard Northwest inhabitants no longer can raise their children here and are fleeing in droves. They ...

Los Angeles, CA —With traditional media dying a very undignified death bloggers and various forms of citizen journalists are filling the need quite well. Some bloggers have become millionaires in the process. The rules of news delivery have changed in a big way. Vetting the information we deliver has not and cannot change. Credibility and accuracy are as important as ever. In our litigious society those who libel others on purpose or by accident may learn hard lessons. Here are some tips for my fellow blogging friends that are evolving with their content and the quality of what they post. Bloggers need to break more news and get away from the idea of republishing what’s already out there. To do this you have to get up close and personal to the newsmakers. Get yourself on the lists your local government public information officers use to send out their press releases. Go out of your way to attend press conferences and ask questions when you get there. Don’t be afraid to check out the p...

Washington, DC--Chairman Barack Obama has learned that his missteps, misdeeds and treason have been exposed by the Internet. His approval ratings have fallen faster than any American President’s since accurate polling has been in existence. In true Marxist style, Obama feels the absolute need to control our speech, thought and the flow of information. The authority for him to do just that will be granted in Senate Bill 773 also known as the Cybersecurity act of 2009 . Obama and his Communist cabal are the greatest threat to Freedom and Liberty this country has ever faced. They must be stopped at all cost. Read this incredible document for yourself! SB 773- Cybersecurity Internet Tyranny

I guess this man and his congregation pray to a different God. I’m wondering just how many of people of his mindset are roaming our streets? Like Dr. Martin Luther King, Dr. Khalid Muhammad too has a dream. Or in this case a nightmare for the rest of us. My question is where are the Southern Poverty Law Center hate watchers?

Frankfurt, Germany —When I was serving as a medical corpsman in Germany I was relatively safe from combat injuries or death. There were a few GIs that were not so lucky. They were killed or wounded by a diabolical group of Marxist revolutionaries led by a young couple, Andreas Baader and Ulrike Meinhof . This group later became the infamous, Rote Armee Fraktion or in English, Red Army Faction. They were responsible for nearly 300 bombings during their existence. I knew some radical kids my age in this country I’m so fond of even today. The kids were wrapped up in the politics of the day but thankfully they were more moved by music, romance, persuing education and their wonderful youth. I never once feared the radical kids because they were indeed my friends. Baader-Meinhof was very active while I was there 1968-1970 . They blew up an ammo dump near my barracks and one young soldier was killed. I would have been required to perform guard duty there but was exempted because of my...

Washington, DC —Americans are discovering that Barack Obama is not working in the best interest of this country’s taxpayers and voters. Since February of this year his approval rating fell by 20 points . On the other side his disapproval ratings soared 33 points. Voters now know that Obama’s platform and claim that all Americans making less than $250,000.00 would not see their taxes increased by a penny was a huge lie. Americans wanted to believe the promises despite warnings from the Conservatives that Obama was pure poison for our ailing economy. Instead of tax breaks to stimulate the economy Obama gave trillions to the very thieves and scoundrels responsible for our problems. Shoving every play in Karl’s Marx’s, Das Kapital along with GITMO terror detainees down our throats has educated Americans of the threat to liberty Obama represents. I suspect that a real showdown will surface in a very short while forcing this traitor from our Whitehouse perhaps even to a gallows. Treason is...

Click on photos to enlarge! Gun as art had seemed to have had its heyday in the 1970s. A lot of historic guns were engraved and are priceless today. There are engraved guns that are not so special, and there are the Rembrandts and DiVincis that belong in a well guarded museum. In the 1970’s a private collector had two unfired and perfect early manufactured blue Smith & Wesson, Model 27s in .357 Magnum caliber. These were chosen for this art project of a wild imagination. That was the gun chosen by J. Edgar Hoover’s G-Men of the FBI . A large frame gun that could handle the increased pressures of the Magnum cartridges used to penetrate the vehicles of the infamous motor bandits of the Great Depression. John Dillinger and a short list of bold bank bandits were hunted by the FBI. The crimes were indeed notorious and they inspired an endless stream of books and movies. They also inspired the Leonardo DiVinci of gun artists, Leonard Francolini to create one of the finest master...

Martha’s Vineyard, MA —As Chairman Barack Obama hides from the press on vacation his young Presidency is melting. His ratings are in a free fall as the failing economy and hyperinflation is on the way. The anger of Americans is swelling by the day after Obama has relentlessly seized control of banks, private businesses and is publicly conspiring for the hostile takeover of the medical and insurance industries. Free enterprise has been destroyed since competition with the government is nearly impossible. Slavery is here and has been imposed on Americans not yet born by our dedicated Marxist leader. It is unlikely that Obama can continue without a Constitutional crisis as Americans begin to find more than just words to vent their rage. Every effort is being made to silence those who loathe the trashing of our form of government and way of life. Hopefully there are enough Americans that will defend and protect the Constitution of The United States and overcome these Bolsheviks and their...

Washington, DC —In perhaps the biggest blunder yet, the Barack Obama Administration announced the appointment of a special prosecutor to bring prosecutions against CIA interrogators. This of course involves the tactics used against those terrorists believed connected to the September 11, 2001 Attack On America . CIA operatives and their superiors have an absolute right to confront their accusers in court. That means the so-called victims must be brought into American courtrooms to testify against the accused CIA people. Without the so-called victim’s testimony Obama's prosecutors will never win a conviction. Here’s the rub. The terrorists will only testify if they get freedom as a quid pro quo. Like any other criminal brought into courtrooms their testimony must be paid for at an astronomically high price. What concessions will they make to the mastermind of the 9/11 attacks? Will it be freedom and a bundle of cash? The action also will destroy the effectiveness of any futu...

Washington, DC —An inexperienced rookie President, Barack Obama made a silly campaign promise to close our detention facility at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba. I guess he was trying to curry favor with the Bush hating anti-war folks. Obviously not much thought went into this dumb idea. The risk is that the very people that have made a religious commitment to destroy America could gain nearly every right of Americans under the Constitution along with every entitlement. Putting these terrorists on our own soil is dangerous and totally unnecessary. They can be humanly treated where they are without endangering Americans. There is no real alternative except to release these combatants to their own countries. Of course that would simply reinforce the terrorist forces we are trying to defeat. I’m not a fan of the wars of either George Bush . They are being fought Viet Nam style where winning is not the goal. We should have eradicated Afghanistan and perhaps Iraq from the map with nuclear weapons...

Los Angeles, CA —In Westwood Village there is a very small cemetery that has more celebrity remains per square foot than anywhere. A prime piece of this real estate can set you back by a half-million bucks. If you’re buried here the star gazing tourists will be walking on your grave trying to figure out what made you so important to be buried here. Actors, comedians, musicians, singers, composers, writers, directors, producers, talent agents from the A list can all be found here. If there is something strange about this cemetery, it's the sheer diversity of the people buried here. Jews, Muslims, Catholics, Protestants, atheists, and members of every race or sexual orientation can be found side by side. The souls here live in peace that they never enjoyed while they were alive. People here died very young like Poltergeist actress Heather O’Rourke or were murdered like Dorothy Stratton and Bob Crane . Some died from accidents like Natalie Wood and Beach Boy, Dennis Wilson . C...

It’s been widely reported that the incredibly talented photographer, Annie Leibovitz has had monumental financial problems despite her ability to generate wealth. Leibovitz defaulted on a $24 million loan that’s been collateralized by her famous photographs. She’s about to lose everything. The problem here is simple drug addiction. In the 1980’s the late reporter Tom Fitzpatrick wrote about her selling her own prized cameras and lenses so she could obtain cocaine. I don’t wish more hardship on Leibovitz even if it’s self-imposed. She is just a microcosm of the bigger problem in our country that has not nor will ever be solved by the Drug War. Legalization of all drugs and free treatment is needed for those who have found a window to free themselves of that dreaded disease.

Kabul, Afghanistan —The Soviets learned it after years of fighting and thousands of their young men were sent home in rubber bags. We’ve been there since 2001 and have our own dead and dismembered to show for that struggle. To enter a country in an effort to separate the good people from the bad that mission is doomed to failure. It has not and can never be done. George W. Bush was not smart enough to realize this and neither is Barack Obama . It is the job of a country’s own citizenry to control government. It’s not our job. If a government becomes a danger to the rest of the world that country must be bombed into submission and that does not require ground troops. We have the technology to do this.

The vast void of common sense in government policy can’t be over-estimated. Imagine you are operating a gun store, pawn shop or car dealership and you have no ability to learn if the items you are buying to sell at retail are stolen. Why’s that you ask? Because the vast list of serial numbers of stolen items is secret! The government’s National Crime Information Center or NCIC has deemed this vital information as protected criminal data. Only the police who are investigating a suspected crime can access the information. Some officials will decry this idea because thieves will be able to access the data and find out the property they have is in fact stolen. Okay, I guess crooks are too dumb to realize they have stolen the property in the first place. Assuming the serial number data could be misused what could cause greater harm? I say having thousands of people buying merchandise checking the list would empower the government to make arrests and recover property at a much faster ra...

Chicago, IL —In a state with unusually harsh eavesdropping laws The City of Chicago is apparently surreptitiously recording the in car conversations of their own police officers. The Second City Cop Blog has just posted some information about the privacy invasion of Chicago police officers. There are suggestions that it’s all being done for the officer’s own safety. I find that impossible to accept since they never informed the officers of this departmental spying. This should be investigated and if found to be true the people responsible should be arrested and prosecuted. For more information visit SCC right here .

Washington, DC—Fox News exposed this criminal activity and they have continued to uncover a serious theft of public funds. It all began with a massive spam e-mail from the Whitehouse authored by Barack Obama’s Propaganda Minister, David Axelrod. Obama was campaigning for support of his Socialist health program. Fox News reporter, Major Garrett asked about the spam e-mail messages sent out by Axelrod to campaign for Obamacare at a Whitehouse news briefing. Garret was treated like a skunk at a picnic over his persistent questioning and now we know why. The problem was and is that taxpayer funds were diverted from use in legitimate government functions to a political campaign pushing the hostile takeover of the health care and insurance industries in America. That was theft pure and simple. The Whitehouse paid our tax money to a private firm, Govdelivery to spam the nation with unsolicited junk e-mails promoting Obama’s political agenda. In addition to the Obamacare fiasco they used ...

You hear the medical community and insurance industry incessantly carping and whining for Tort Reform . The title itself is incredibly misleading. It should be called what it is, The Insurance Company Protection Act . A tort is an act that injures someone. There are accidental torts and intentional torts. An automobile accident involving simple negligence is a tort. So is an act of libel, assault, or even murder. In this mix are dog bites, construction accidents and the surgeon who amputates the wrong leg. Most people cannot afford lawyers to force those responsible to pay for the damages they have caused. Usually there is a liability insurance policy involved and insurance companies are in the business of collecting premiums and doing whatever they can to avoid paying claims. For the average working American the legal community invented the contingent fee arrangement. The lawyers front the sometimes huge expenses related to bringing your claim to court and charge you nothing unl...
