Washington, DC—Barack Obama wants to spend billions on high speed railroad for passenger movement in the USA. High speed rail works everywhere well. There is a unique departure from the rest of the world in the USA. Under present conditions this type of rail system will fail here. We in the USA have allowed the TSA to do their little Nazi thing to American rail passengers. Searching airline passengers like criminals has cost the airlines as Americans have avoided flying and the indignity of submitting to police state frisking. Bankruptcies have plagued or airlines ever since. I for one will not travel by any transportation where I must submit to searching unless I have no other choice. We don’t need the TSA on our trains and should remove them at once. If the TSA is included in the rail the system will never realize its potential and taxpayers will suffer as usual. Of Course even in today’s Germany you can board a fast, comfortable and enjoyable ride without being treated by a ...

Washington, DC —With the failure of his agenda despite a Congressional super majority Barack Obama has moved on with the promise of tax breaks he will never deliver. He rallied for small business with more hollow promises and rambled on for a very long time. He confronted and insulted the Supreme Court over their recent free speech ruling that scuttled the McCain/Feingold, Incumbent Protection Act . Free speech of course is a Socialist’s worst nightmare. Obama came off as he did in the 2008 Campaign as an empty suit. Obama is facing mass defections by Democrats who will be paying dearly for ignoring or belittling constituents at Town Hall meetings. Free speech is exactly what may well prevent the Obama, Socialism sales job, from putting America under a Red Socialist flag. Obama is finding out that unlike Adolph Hitler , he’s not going to see a peaceful Socialist revolution. Obama is learning that he will only be able to achieve that by battling armed Americans. Obama is still willing...

Springfield, IL —Illinois is considering ending the requirement for the front plate on cars and trucks. This is a fiscally responsible move that’s long overdue. The primary reason for front license plates has been the intense lobbying effort of the 3M Company , holder of the patent for the special reflective paint every state uses in their manufacturing process. The rear plate is adequate for police plate reading software and the photo traffic extortion revenue programs. In addition to their political lobbying and generous campaign contributions, the 3M Company exhibits at the Nations Sheriff’s and IACP conventions where they recruit police administrators to preserve the unnecessary and expensive front plates. The States of California and Texas would reap the biggest cash bonanza by scrapping the front plate. Contact your legislature if you live in a state that requires two plates and help them curb the wasteful practice.

Washington, DC —So far the Obama Administration chose the road of despotism over democracy. The massive destruction of our currency and economy was intentional so Obama could rebuild in a Socialist model. Free speech by Internet bloggers, and the likes of Glen Beck has rung an alarm that has obstructed Obama’s Socialist revolutionary goals. The problem for Obama now is that too many Americans are refusing to surrender the form of government our founding fathers sacrificed so much to give us. The Socialist flags and the wake of holocausts that always follow, threaten peace and prosperity. Obama’s Hope and Change is no different than that offered by Stalin, Hitler, Mao and Castro . Obama has to deal with Armed Americans and elections he can’t control. The consequences of Obama’s continued efforts to destroy our representative republic may destroy well Obama first. Obama’s State of The Union Address will be interesting. Will this President be a lame duck for the remainder of his term...

San Luis Obispo, CA —Today California parole officials will consider releasing Gregory Powell 47 years after he and his crime partner, Jimmy Lee Smith kidnapped LAPD Hollywood Division detectives Karl Hettinger and Ian Campbell at gunpoint in Los Angeles. In March of 1963 the two criminals drove the captive officers up to farmer’s field just outside of Bakersfield and the trip culminated in an attempt to execute them. Hettinger was able to escape but Campbell was brutally murdered by the salt and pepper pair. Originally Powell and Smith were sentenced to death but after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in the famous Fuhrman vs. Georgia case the cop killers were given life and the possibility of parole. Smith was paroled several times but kept reoffending and died in prison in 2007. Powell never made parole and blamed former LAPD cop and author, Joseph Wambaugh for bringing him too much publicity and wrecking his chances for parole after the book and movie The Onion Field were release...

Joliet, Il —Retired Bolingbrook police sergeant, Drew Peterson is being subjected to the worst kind of judicial experimentation in any American court. This is now playing in a new theater that was once a Joliet courtroom. This sensational production is something right out of the spectacular Salem Witch Trials of 1692 . Peterson is charged with murder in connection with the suspicious death of his third wife. The cause of that woman’s death is far from settled since medical experts can’t agree on how she died. Peterson’s fourth wife has been missing for more than a year and was involved in several extra-marital relationships. Is she dead? Was it Peterson or perhaps a married paramour of the fourth wife that is responsible? The Illinois Legislature created an extra legal end run now called The Drew Peterson Law to deny the suspect any right to confront witnesses against his as guaranteed by our Constitution. A Joliet Illinois judge knows the political wind would shift against him...

When I was in Berlin during the 20 year Wall Fest Celebration in November this great song was played. It was perfect music for the celebration. I give you two videos, one from the Wall Fest and the other from a Blondie concert. It’s difficult to believe by Debora Harry is 65 years-old now. This song really rocks.

Yep, he’s in the pokey again. This time he got arrested on a domestic violence warrant and can’t seem to post the $17 hundred and change bail bond. At 4’ 7” and less than a hundred pounds along with serious health problems I’d hope someone would notice that he’s not much of a threat without a weapon. Too many famous people get arrested just because they’re famous. I hope that’s not the case here.

Washington, DC — The United States Supreme Court rang one out for Free Speech by flushing the McCain-Feingold down the toilet where it belongs. The speech muzzling legislation was mislabeled as Campaign Finance Reform to mislead the public. The bill made political speech a crime 60 days before an election. The National Rifle Association or similar organizations were prohibited from disclosing a political incumbent’s voting record during that most important period. We know politicians hate educated voters . The laws of libel and defamation are solid and protect us all. It was the truth that the politicians could not handle. I think more members of Congress than ever will be flushed down the toilet as well. We can only both McCain and Feingold are among them!

Las Vegas, NV —I received an interesting comment that became the headline for this story. I thought it was a fair question that deserves an answer. Pictured left to right are, Raj Singh , President of Eagle Grips , Melissa Dragoo a teen spokes model for Ruger Firearms and your author, Paul Huebl . Turbans are worn in several styles by different Asian ethnic or religious groups. The turban that Raj Singh wears every day of his adult life was earned as a rite of passage. Singh is a member of the Sikh religion . You also need to know that in Sikhs are a small minority in India where the religion was founded more than 500 years ago. Sikhs unlike many religions don’t stop to publicly pray every day and other than the turban, their good conduct, a simple bracelet and a dagger (when not in conflict with local laws) there is no outward sign of faith. Unlike many religions, Sikhs don’t care about the faith or lack of it that surrounds them. Sikhs all believe in the simple Golden Rule as...

Las Vegas, NV —I just returned from four days of getting up close and personal with thousands of firearms. The largest gun show on earth happens once a year at The Shooting Hunting Outdoor Tradeshow . This event is not open to the public but is an event for folks inside the firearm industry. The latest and greatest guns, accessories and related items were on display at hundreds of booths. The law enforcement section alone was huge displaying the kind of equipment that our police officers want badly but these days city budgets are spent on anything other than officer safety. I always spend a lot of time with my friends at Eagle Grips where the finest handgun grips in the world are found. I have lots of video and not enough time to put it all up so please bear with me and return to this page where I will keep adding video.

Phoenix, AZ— The company collecting millions of dollars to run the hated Robocam Extortion Program want court rules changed. That's because most alleged violators caught simply refuse to pay. The current court rules requires that any court summons be served under civil process Rule 4. That means a process server must locate and serve the violator or a person that also resides at the violator’s residence. The system is overwhelmed and the summonses expire before they can be lawfully delivered. They are trying to sneak through a legal exemption to allow sending the summons by first class mail to the alleged violator’s last known address. The risk here is that the company could obtain a court judgment without the violator knowing about it or being able to contest the matter in court. This rule change would be done by Arizona Supreme Court judges, most of which are Democrats apponted by former Governor Naplitano. The legislature and curent governor would be bypassed along with d...

Chicago, IL —Yesterday a Cook County jury found career fireman Ted Kozak guilty of possession of two fully automatic firearms. The guns were two prized and valuable World War Two relics. They were not involved in threats or violence but kept locked in a safe. The guns are banned by state law. Federal law only requires registration. Because of conflicting Illinois laws the federal government refuses to allow that states residents to register such guns. The Second Amendment allows for the keeping and bearing of arms. The Supreme Court so far has said in the 70 year-old Miller case that the arms in possession of civilians must be suitable for military use to gain protection. The Kozak guns are military weapons. Judge Domicia Ann Stephenson revoked Kozak’s bail and ordered him incarcerated in the Cook County Jail pending sentencing. She also denied a defense motion that he be allowed to remain free on bail pending resolution of unsettled firearm matters before the current US Supreme...

Chicago, IL —Years of Liberal tolerance of ghetto culture and the teacher’s union has produced generations of ignorant and illiterate people in the Windy City. African-Americans can’t pass the Civil Service test for police officer despite the fact that it has been made easier and easier to satisfy racial quotas. No matter how simple they make the test the numbers don’t satisfy the racial quota police. If they pass the test those felony convictions for rape, robbery and mayhem preclude giving them police stars and loaded guns. It’s insane to hire people who can’t read and understand the laws they are to enforce. How can they write a police report or criminal complaint without simple literacy? The City of Chicago will be the Dumb Cop Capitol of America if their political leaders follow through with their desire to scrap testing for police applicants. God help us all.

Washington, DC— Today Barack Obama could not offer an explanation or excuse for the Pantybomber event of Christmas Day over Detroit. Every step along the way intelligence, screening and searching failed. The TSA is now in at a state of siege and grandma and the children are paying dearly with additional and unnecessary harassment. Homeland Security from the top on down is a patronage driven mess. This cannot be solved and we can’t made reasonably safe from determined terrorists. The past few days has been filled with insanity well beyond the Keystone Cop's model. Some man enters through an exit door and shuts down an airport. Of course they can’t find the culprit and the security cameras were not operational. A airport employee's package shuts down another airport and yet a third airport locks down over three jars of honey. The so called full body scanners will reveal large knives, guns or grenades. Explosives in powder, plastic or liquid form will defeat the scanners wit...

Washington, DC .-- White House Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel said it best when he advised, "Never waste a good crisis.” That concept was used in 1933 with great success by the Nazi Party in Germany. The Reichstag was torched in Berlin at a time when the NAZI’s had less than a one-third approval rate. That arson fire quickly resulted in sweeping new laws that gave the Nazis absolute power . Did the arsonist use that convenient tunnel from the Parliament residential building occupied by Nazi henchman Hermann Goering? That inside job theory is the popular belief today. Barack Obama knows that the flying public dislikes the TSA and that millions of Americans refuse to fly to avoid getting frisked like criminals. They loathe the hard corps unemployable staffing the TSA utilizes to grope, steal from and otherwise abuse travelers. With new and more intrusive screening airlines more people will stay home or find other ways to travel. That will destroy the airlines and give Obama the pe...

Plaines, GA —Some prankster unhappy with Barack Obama took a manikin and made it resemble the president and hanged it as some kind of nasty statement. It has brought rebuke, outrage and an investigation from the United States Secret Service . In October of 2008 in West Hollywood, CA Vice Presidential nominee, Sarah Palin suffered the exact same indignity and it only generated laughter and glee. No charges were brought but the man who put that one up took it down after reflecting on his poor choice of a visual statement. Both of these events are indeed ugly. The First Amendment gives American’s the right to unpopular thought or speech. Had this been a effigy hanging of Adolph Hitler in Germany, those responsible would have gotten quick trials and sent to Berlin’s Plötzensee Prison death room along with some friends and family members. Ugly free speech needs protection or we will be having judges trying to determine if some imaginary speech line was crossed with a particular message...

Chicago, IL — Ted Kozak , 58 is a professional hero. He has saved many lives and many millions of dollars of property during his career. Kozak has never been a threat to anyone and has avoided a criminal record. That all changed in September of 2006 when police raided his home. Kozak believes that the words of our Constitution have real meaning. Keeping and bearing of arms suitable for military service is not some special privilege for the elite but the right of the people. Kozak’s close friend, a retired Chicago cop collected guns instead of stamps, cars or toy trains. The retired lawman had a collection worth thousands and prized pieces such as his “Chicago Typewriter” prominently displayed in Michael Mann’s movie, Public Enemies . Needing cancer surgery the ailing fellow asked Kozak to securely store his collection while he was being treated. The collection was safe until Chicago police found and seized the firearms. That Thompson submachine gun is a showpiece and it’s over ...

Karl Marx promises under his ideal plan for government that everyone will share the wealth and dream of being part of a great society. The Communist revolutions all begin with words, music and art along with good hearted and idealistic young people. Romance, enjoyable parties and the fine poetry set to beautiful music in the musical masterpiece, Guantanamera is a great springboard. I can’t argue that the concept is inviting but unfortunately it always ends the same way. Even for that great song, Guantanamera there is no shortage of intrigue and controversy surrounding that anthem. José Fernández is said to have composed the music and written the lyrics. Cuban communist history revisionists now credit their hero, Jose Marti with creating the most popular song of the Cuban revolution. I guess if the supreme Communist authority declares it, it must be so. After the revolution peaceful or otherwise property is confiscated by force from some and given to others. Resistance always results...

Washington, DC .-- It appears that at least a weak effort will be made to keep bombs off of our airplanes. The TSA announced that they will be giving special screening to passengers coming from unfriendly nations. Rather than better screening for these people we’d be a lot safer if they were simply kept off of our planes and soil. Tightened random screening has been promised for visitors from certain countries. Now 100 percent of passengers from 14 terrorism-prone countries will be patted down and have their carry-on baggage searched. The Obama administration was notifying airlines on Sunday of the changes. You can’t keep deadly weapons out of maximum security prisons and this new program won’t work either.
