Phoenix, AZ—I know too many people who are depressed and feeling hopeless about the economy. The most endangered are the middle-aged folks that are facing foreclosure, bankruptcy and destroyed retirement plans.
Joblessness, despair, aging and pride are all factors that have already caused an increase in suicide and suicide pacts. This is a sickening reality.
The artificial skyrocketing prices for homes and mortgages designed and pre-ordained for failure caused many overly optimistic Americans to buy homes beyond their means. Suddenly their homes are worth far less than they paid for them and those tricky mortgages came at Americans with a cruel vengeance.
The blame for this disaster can be shared by our Leftist politicians from both parties and the Federal Reserve System that allows banks to control government policy.
There is no possible way that taxpayers can eat this devastating loss. With no hope and no help too many Americans are choosing suicide.
Rather than surrender Americans need to take control of our country from the unelected and un-American Federal Reserve System.
The fight for freedom is never-ending and Americans need to use every possible option including the powers authorized under the Second Amendment remedy to protect our Constitution from the Socialists and Communists inside of our government.
Please if you’re really planning to kill yourself please, take as many Socialists and Communists politicians as you can with you! You at least will leave a heroic legacy behind.

The Illegal Alien Violent Crimewave Never Ends
East Texas—As the Socialists and Communists in our government obstruct enforcement of federal immigration laws the export of Crime, drugs, ignorance and poverty continues unchecked. Obstructing justice used to be a serious crime. The Socialists and Communists I refer to also include politicians that wear the Republican Party label like George W. Bush and John McCain.
Americans are facing dangerous criminals everywhere and with the economy destroyed by bailouts and the non-stop printing of currency it can only get much worse.
Americans better be well trained and armed because soon they will have to fight for their very lives. The period of anarchy will be followed by frightened voters who will grant absolute power to the government. What’s next is our worst nightmare as the Communists in our government unleash criminals like the two creeps in the attached video to control Americans.
There is a simple and very nefarious reason traitors in our government want these thugs here.
Americans at some point will stop paying taxes either because they refuse or their earnings will stop cold. Either way the government monster we’ve allowed to develop will begin to purge, and plunder the formerly productive Americans and their property or die. They will do this to maintain absolute power.
A dire forecast you say? You’re absolutely right but it’s based on redundant historical examples. In fact I can’t find an example anywhere, where a nation resolved such a mess in a peaceful way.
Watch these to struggling and peaceable immigrants deal with a policeman on a routine traffic stop.
For my copper pals, you’re going to find numerous tactical errors by the Texas highway policeman who nearly lost his life. Please always follow your training because I hate copper funerals or writing stories about them.

Americans Have the Absolute Duty to Use Force and Violence to Protect Our Constitution
Washington, DC—When politicians place an anti-American agenda before the Constitution it sometimes takes decades for the Supreme Court to right those wrongs. We saw that in the case of unconstitutional gun bans in Chicago and Washington, DC.
Our founding fathers recognized that ballots and the Supreme Court may fail to stop forces seeking to overthrow our Constitution. They gave us the full responsibility along with the means to use force and violence to protect our way of life. They recognized that the threat to freedom could come from the inside as easily as from foreign forces.
Our own Communist and Socialist politicians have cavalierly and consistently violated the Thirteenth Amendment that outlawed slavery with their slim majority. Socialism cannot function without slavery.
It takes a lot more than a simple majority to change the Constitution these traitors have sworn to protect and defend. These Socialist thugs have no right to simply vote the Constitution away like they’ve been doing.
Our Constitution and form of government has been under a hostile attack by deceitful, millionaire politicians that deserve nothing less than hanging for their treason. It is the absolute responsibility of every loyal Americans to use the vehicle of the Second Amendment to purge the despots from our government before they complete their Socialist revolution.
If we let them complete their plans, as always a Socialist holocaust will begin as they assume absolute power. We have little choice but to use all means to remove the traitors in order to survive.
Sadly the time for loyal and brave Americans to act is long overdue. The un-American actions of the Obama Administration have greatly exceeded anything King George did that caused the colonists to take up arms for freedom. When it comes to our Constitution we can either defend it or lose it.
The Obama Administration and their Socialist supporters in Congress have ignored the majority as they have ignored and ridiculed millions of Americans that have peacefully demonstrated on the side of freedom.
Thankfully most of our military and police will never side with those seeking to destroy or Constitution. It’s very unlikely they will obey commands to open fire on or detain Americans defending America.
There is nothing wrong with and everything right about removing all Socialist revolutionaries from our government and soil. They need to be called to book, dragged through the streets, tried, convicted and be hanged for treason. Americans Have the Absolute Duty to Use Force and Violence to Protect Our Constitution. That is the only American Way. Freedom is never free.

Courts, Personal Injuries, the Jury System and those Insurance Companies…
Civilization requires some kind of justice system to right the wrongs that happen in society. If through simple negligence or recklessness we cause injury and damages, the law, courts and our juries fix responsibility.
When people are injured there are often damages that go far beyond medical bills. Unfortunately those causing the damage rarely reimburse those they injure without court intervention or the specter of it.
To cover such unforeseen accidents we buy insurance. Insurance companies don’t enjoy their huge profits because of their fairness or prompt payment of legitimate claims. They generally deny everything they can because they know cases most often take years to go to trial in most jurisdictions.
When a claim is made, the insurance company assigns their lawyer to represent the defendant in court. It is somewhat of a conflict since their real master is not the defendant but his insurance company. Should the case go to trial the jury is lead to believe the lawyer representing the defendant is his when in fact he the insurance company’s lawyer.

It is somewhat of a conflict since their real master is not the defendant but his insurance company. Should the case go to trial the jury is lead to believe the lawyer representing the defendant is his when in fact he the insurance company’s lawyer.
Insurance is the forbidden word in personal injury court trials. Insurance companies have horrible reputations and know that they are not popular with the average juror. If you hear that word during a trial the defense will always demand and get a mistrial. They want jurors to believe the defendant is paying out of his own pocket.
Insurance companies exploit the fact that plaintiffs die, forget important facts or can no longer pursue their claims. Witnesses disappear, die, and forget what they saw or just decide they no longer want to cooperate. Claims simply go away when trials are delayed. Denying or putting off claims saves insurance companies billions. The delay game always helps insurance companies avoid responsibility.
Of course there are exaggerated claims or plaintiffs that think the hangnail they suffered is worth millions. That’s why we have the jury system. The jurors protect the rights of the plaintiff to collect for their injuries and damages and stop fraudulent claims cold.
Those rare million dollar verdicts come as a result of deception, cover-ups or other misconduct by defendants or their lawyers in their efforts to avoid fair compensation.
Jurors have wide latitude in awarding more money than they’ve been asked to by a plaintiff. If a jury goes overboard with a verdict the judge will always reduce those verdicts. Large verdicts always send strong messages to those insurance companies that try to further victimize plaintiffs.
When you get called for jury duty you must put your feet in the shoes of the plaintiff and defendant. That plaintiff or defendant could be you or someone you love. Of course the defendant will never have to pay from their own pockets because that's why they had insurance. Hear the case, take you position, stick to it and be proud.
Remember whatever you award the plaintiff he will have to share as much as 50% with his lawyer. Of course medical bills, expert witness fees along with significant costs must be paid by the plaintiff in addition to the percentage that goes to the lawyer.
If the insurance company gets stuck with a generous jury award perhaps next time they will avoid a trial settling the claim in a fair and prompt manner.
Note: I will follow up with criminal, juvenile and family law courts in future articles.

Why Cameras in Courtrooms Are a Terrible Idea
Chicago, IL—In the Windy city where corruption in the courts has been a way of life, cameras have been precluded for at least 70 years. I’m not sure the camera prohibition is related to judicial corruption but the prohibition does have advantages that are conducive to fairness.
There are pictures of Al Capone inside a courtroom a 2600 S. California Avenue. There was movie and still pictures taken during the sensational Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb murder trial also in that era. It was sometime later when cameras were eventually outlawed.
Transparency dictates open government and court proceedings be public except in rare cases and to protect juveniles. The public cannot be excluded from courtrooms unless they are witnesses that have not yet testified in the case before the court. That important prohibition is to prevent witnesses from influencing each other during trials or hearings.
The real harm with bringing cameras into courtrooms is when justice is reduced to cheap entertainment. The most horrific examples of televised trials gone wrong was the O.J Simpson murder trial and then later in the murder trial of Scott Peterson.
The Romans showcased crime and punishment in their coliseum. Blood thirsty crowds over-filled this venue for the shockingly ghoulish public slaughter of people whose crime was that of being Christian.
Adolph Hitler and his propaganda minister Josef Goebbels made sure that the People’s Court of The Third Reich was shown on newsreels in every movie house in Germany.
The German people could watch Nazi Judge Roland Frisler holding a show trial where he tried, convicted and sentenced 16 year-old boy scout, Helmuth Hübener to the guillotine. Young Hübener’s capital conviction was for daring to pass out anti-Hitler leaflets in Hamburg.
The Hübener lad was just one of 5,000 German men and women known to have been murdered under the color of law for resting National Socialism.
We must not let American courts degenerate into a most garish form of entertainment for the idle. We simply can't allow courts to be used for propaganda or to terrorize the population.
On the other hand the courts are public and should always remain open for the public to observe.
If there is a TV show I loathe more than any other in the history of television it’d the Judge Judy Show. Yes, her cases are of little consequence but none the less the show reduces our court to the status of a third rate circus.
As for the unbridled horror of the Helmuth Hübener story, a movie is being filmed in Germany right now with, Haley Joel Osment playing the lead character.

Reduce the Immigration Crisis by Ending the Drug War
Just a little pile of drug money found laying around…
Phoenix, AZ—Some Mexican drug cartel allegedly just put a $1 million bounty on Sheriff Joe’s head. Somehow I don’t think they could be trusted to pay up if someone actually whacked that lawman with the TV camera fetish. This sounds more like a political campaign manager’s scheme than reality.
The failure of the Drug War has been nothing short of spectacular considering the endless billions of dollars wasted on it. The only benefit of the Drug War is that billions more in illicit profits enrich criminals both inside and outside of government.
Drug laws do nothing to curb use, addiction, or deaths. People prone to addiction are in no way deterred by the laws and that the prohibition makes the drugs even more attractive. Those addicted pay handsomely for products that cost no more than tea or coffee to produce. Drug law enforcement only drives up the price and profits.
Those concerned about deaths from overdoses need to examine the thousands murdered every year over drug trafficking related events. The overdoses are miniscule in comparison.
The Drug War has caused the migration of the worst criminals south of our borders looking to profit through the artificially high price of drugs set by the Drug War.
We need to put all of the Drug Lords and Drug Czars out of business in a single day through legalization. The USA would no longer be a magnet for international criminals.
We need to avoid taxing, or in any way regulating drugs beyond protecting children and using zoning laws to keep drug blight away from populated areas. If we try to regulate the drugs we will just make more opportunities for criminals.

Chicago Cops Need the Right to Carry Shotguns or Carbines
Chicago, IL—There is a war going on in the Windy City and cops have been random targets. They are armed with their service pistols that are too often, underpowered 9MM semi-automatics. Adding insult to this is the department’s inadequate in-service training with the weapons. A mere 30 rounds per year for in-service training will do little more than guarantee more police funerals.
The officers should be able carry serviceable .12 gauge shotguns or a range of carbines both rifle and pistol caliber. Uniformity is not nearly as important as having sufficient weaponry to gain parity with the ghetto rats.
The department will not purchase the weapons but many cops have them already or have access to them. If the officers have them they should be allowed to bring them.
Every California police department regardless of size or location has had both a shotgun and carbine since the Bank of America shootout in North Hollywood more than a decade ago.
Officers should simply document their training and yearly practice with the weapons whether on private or department run ranges in a To/From memorandum.
Many cops are military veterans that have extensive experience with the M-4/AR-15/M-16 family of rifles. That should be adequate.
Here is me with my shotgun of choice for police work, the M-3 HK/Benelli convertible pump/semi-automatic shotgun. Attacking cops carrying these weapons maybe some ghetto rat’s last bad decision made on this earth.

Myths and Reality About People Who Carry Concealed weapons
There are lots of people in our world that are overly concerned about law-abiding people carrying guns for self-defense. Their concerns are real but they’re driven by simple ignorance.
Most people who never carry guns know little more about them other than what they learn watching television shows or movies. The gifted people working in special effects have given mere handguns incredible and even magical powers. This is aggravated by ignorant or deceitful journalists who inaccurately describe weapons involved in news stories. Remember, sensationalism and exaggeration is what sells books, movies, and newspapers.
People shot don’t instantly lose the ability to continue their assault and more than 60 percent of those shot with any weapon survive. A handgun is little more than a tool that may give you or a family member a way to escape from an unthinkable event alive. I equate carrying a handgun to wearing a seat belt while driving. It only provides limited protection.
If you understand the limitations that firearms have, then you will know only too well that it’s far batter to avoid violent conflicts whenever possible even while carrying a gun.
Here are some myths and reality about the law-abiding with guns.
1. Packing a gun does not make anyone smarter, braver, taller or meaner. It does provide a legitimate method of self-defense in a society where violent thugs commit horrible crimes every day.
2. Guns are dangerous and will discharge on their own. Modern defensive firearms are redundantly safe and it requires intentional effort or recklessness to injure anyone.
3. Law-abiding people with guns will simply use them on others out of anger. The key words here are, law-abiding. We all have tempers but what separates criminals from the law-abiding is the ability to control one’s behavior.
Most Americans have a deadly weapon under their control for extended periods every day. That weapon is the automobile. We all get angry at other drivers but very few of us use our 3,000 pound vehicles to intentionally kill or maim. Thankfully, road rage violence is rare when you consider the number of vehicles present and moving on our streets. We do know that criminals use cars as weapons.
Everyone has legal access to gasoline and matches but few use them to hurt others. Those that do are criminals.
The fact is criminal violence is but for very rare exceptions are acts committed by people who are well-known for that kind of behavior. They start young and those acts get the attention of family members and authorities. Too many of these people are allowed to exploit the revolving doors of our jails and are free to inflict plenty of horror on others.
There are lots of laws that prohibit these people from possession and unlawful use of arms that are simply unenforceable in a free society. Criminals by their very nature don’t care about any laws.
Only the law-abiding care about the prohibitions and laws established by civilized society.
Denying the law-abiding the means to self-defense only enables the dangerous people we have allowed to roam our streets to victimize the innocent.

Now, Cops May Have to Scoot After they Shoot!
Chicago, IL—I remember a strange case in 1976 where witnesses claim they saw a lone Chicago cop get out of his marked squad and engage an armed suspect in a gun fight. The offender died but the still unknown officer fled the scene. It was a justifiable shooting and the officer leaving and avoiding any and all investigation was no crime.
The department pulled out all the stops to find the officer who violated department policy by his flight. Perhaps the officer was off of his beat and maybe outside of his district. Some districts have little choice for meals and officers sometimes risk a suspension for a decent meal in a neighboring district. Maybe the officer was making a booty call during his lunch period? Where the cop came from is anyone’s guess.
One significant benefit of the officer’s flight was avoiding the old, Office of Professional Standards and a lots of paper related misery. The real benefit was the officer made no statement whatsoever which is his right as an American citizen. No zealous prosecutor would be presenting the officer’s own words to a jury had someone who did not observe the shooting decided the officer’s use of deadly force was not justified.
A real factor in determining whether to prosecute cops for murder and manslaughter surrounds eye witness statements. The problem is that often eye witnesses to police shooting are the offender or his friends, family or accomplices. Often jurors add up the witnesses for both sides and whoever has the highest number determines the verdict. Do you think that’s a little scary for white cops in an all Black neighborhood?
With the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals trashing the administrative rights concept protecting officers in the case of Officer William Cozzi, there is are no good reasons for cops to stick around after shooting dangerous suspects ever!
If officers can’t flee they need to refuse any statements without having a defense lawyer present. No lawyer in his right mind will let a cop say anything about a shooting. This may affect the prosecution of suspects but that’s just too bad. Cops can’t be expected to have fewer rights than criminals trying to kill them.
Most cops I know have zero ability to keep their mouths shut when under investigation. They are so pre-programmed to cooperate they never stop to read the Miranda warning they all carry. What’s worse they all keep on blabbing even after someone else reads it to them! That has to change.
I want all my cop friends to watch law professor James Duane’s lecture and learn how to redundantly repeat these four simple words to investigators investigating you, “I want a lawyer.”
When you finish Professor Duane’s video it’s time to watch a long time police investigator George Bruch of the Virginia Beach Police Department explain the reality of Professor Duane's message.

Government, Why Control Entitlement Fraud?
Chicago, IL--In order to collect food stamps, welfare, and those wildly popular cash cards the government won’t demand proof of legal residency or even positive identification of the recipients.
Fingerprinting and a little database management could prevent redundant payments, ineligible precipitants, and alike. Our politicians can be counted upon to obstruct any effort to contain the fraud.
The direct deposit of funds into bank accounts allows those on the dole to live anywhere in the world as they collect from as many as 50 states. Grab a few identities along the way and the sky is the limit!
Around 1970 I learned a trick by a high rolling Chicago lady. She had furs, jewels and bought a new car every year. She complained about the cost of her facelift saying everyone was entitled to such elective medical procedures free of charge.
The woman had at least a dozen names on a mailbox at an apartment where she did not even live. Like clockwork this woman went to the mailbox when the entitlement checks rolled in collecting them.
I learned later she created sham residences in Wisconsin, Michigan and Indiana and pulled the same stunt in those states. She complained that her trips to get the checks and cashing them locally were exhausting and interfered with her winter travel to the Bahamas.
The woman spent a lot of time gathering and cashing checks she’d never have to deal with today. Those trips to the mailboxes are a thing of the past since electronic banking is here to stay.
I dated the woman's daughter who was a student at a local university who went on to a free ride at a prestigious graduate school courtesy of mom's entitlements.
Unfortunately the woman died before the new banking technology made occupation easier than ever.

United States vs William Cozzi and Self-Incrimination Rights
Chicago, IL—In the case against Chicago police officer William Cozzi, the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals today has nullified longstanding agreements that protect officers from statements made in administrative proceedings.
Every American other than police officers has an absolute right to remain silent when under investigation. Police agencies have the difficult job of sorting out events to determine if their officers are acting within the law and established department policies.
The police agencies have determined a way to obtain their officer’s cooperation during internal investigations through immunization agreements that preclude those statements from being used in court against the officers.
Because of the Cozzi opinion any officers who cooperates with the department during an internal investigation are fools that can expect to see whatever they say used against them anyway.
Any officer that has to for example, use any force whatsoever is crazy to make a written report or submit to an interview. The administrative rights practice is worthless and void.
It would then be wrong to fire officers that simply refuse to incriminate themselves. Cops deserve no fewer rights than any other citizen. The right to remain silent is sacred. Waiving that right may earn you a prison cell, disgrace, your pension and your life.
This really means that if cops simply don’t make arrests, they will never need to use or explain why they used force to make an arrest. Making arrests is hazardous to officer's careers and freedom.
The Cozzi case is now the law of the land unless overturned by the US Supreme Court:

The Only Cure To Chicago’s Violence
Chicago, IL—In Chicago the ghetto rats know the cops are too ineffective to even begin to controlling them.
Cops are bound by stringent rules and discipline. Cops are not allowed to arm themselves with more effective weapons and will never have parity with the thugs. This is aggravated by the mismanagement and theft of taxpayer funds in a terrible economy.
Cops are bound by stringent rules and discipline. Cops are not allowed to arm themselves with more effective weapons and will never have parity with the thugs. This is aggravated by the mismanagement and theft of taxpayer funds in a terrible economy.
The law-abiding people in the community are not allowed to help beyond snitching and they have no reasonable means for self-defense when the thugs retaliate.
To take control of Chicago’s streets police need a cooperative effort between armed, law-abiding citizens and police. In the words of my friend, Professor John Lott, "More guns, equals less crime."
The only cure:
1. A right to carry law for reasonable self-defense.
2. Free firearms training including the laws and liability of the justifiable use of deadly force.
3. City leaders must invite the law-abiding to use all necessary and lawful might including deadly force to protect their homes, families and selves.
4. Police should encourage armed citizens to display their FOID cards that identify them as law-abiding but armed citizens during those times when police have responded to a tense situation.
We are at war with violent criminals and throughout history no war has ever been won without citizen-soldiers accepting their responsibility. The police can’t solve this problem alone.
It would not be difficult to convince certified firearms instructors to teach classes in local churches and community centers on a voluntary basis. Gun ranges are cheap to construct and Chicago has lots of vacant land.
Measures like these are not new in America. They are lawful and will create the needed partnership to control violence and keep the peace.
You cannot expect disarmed and helpless people to risk their lives helping police or even informing on the dangerous thugs that rule the ghettos.
The ghetto rats could face extinction if only the City of Chicago would develop a mindset to make productive and law-abiding citizens an important part of the solution.

Blago’s Lawyer Made A Fool of Judge Zagel In Court
Chicago, IL—In the otherwise boring but high profile trial of former Governor Rod Blagojevich great pains were made by prosecutors and Judge James Zagel to protect every member of the Obama Mafia from exposure or attention. I can’t help but believe there are sinister motives behind Zagel’s rulings.
I saw an incredibly cleaver move by the feisty Sam Adam, Jr. who proved to be a legal clone of his legendary father.
Frustrated by the constant over-protection of the Obama Crime Organization and convicted criminals associated with those Whitehouse occupants, Adam found a great solution.
Adam wanted to jury to know that he was not permitted to bring in or examine the Whitehouse Mafia members. Adam wants everyone to know they’re being protected for nefarious reasons. Judge Zagel put his massive foot right on Adam’s throat threatening him in the process.
That got major press attention. Adam is no fool he ran with that football for a major touchdown by suggesting he’d go to jail if necessary to inform the jury. The press bought into this slug-fest and it was the top story of the entire trial.
The jury here has not been in a vacuum and contrary to instructions can’t really avoid media reports especially when they involve material they were not supposed to hear.
Adam accomplished his mission by using Zagle's considerable weight against him. The jury did hear that the Obama mafia has escaped any and all scrutiny and the jury has been denied hearing all the evidence. This is a great reason for a juror backlash and perhaps even an acquittal.

Youtube and Influencing Wayward Jurors, During Court Trials
As a private investigator and blogger I have learned a sad truth. The vast majority of people on jury duty are bored, and for excitement they violate absolutely every court order on avoiding published or broadcast materials regarding the cases they are deciding.
The very first thing a surprising number of people do on jury duty is a Google search on the names of the key players. Who will try and stop these folks in the privacy of their own homes?
The First Amendment allows anyone to publish anything they wish before cases are to be tried or court orders are issued. A pre-litigation documentary film setting out the facts away from the constraints of the courtroom is an incredible public relations tool to help any litigant or criminal defendant.
The litigants themselves would be foolish in most cases to say anything on camera about their cases since anything they say can be used against them. The same goes for their witnesses.
Getting the other side parties and adverse witnesses to blab is sometimes all too easy. Having video of this is terrific but only of placed where the jury members will find it. With Google everything is now in plain sight.
There are a number of things such as the sordid pasts of adverse witnesses and things that would sway a jury that are kept secret from them. You can give the jury a credibility roadmap of witnesses they will never see in court.
Effective narration could inform the viewers in a credible way what the real causes of the event were and or any theories.
Documents, photographs, video effortlessly and lawfully can be published to jurors that judges will never allow during a trial.
With the new 15 minute length YouTube just offered their users is just perfect for pre-litigation documentaries designed to expose the truth. I’ve been blessed with many years as an investigative TV news producer to make the perfect documentary for most litigants. This kind of small investment in a case may be worth its weight in gold.
In many cases it may be a wise move to inform the jurors of their absolute right to nullify controversial laws with their verdicts.
Remember, the only people violating court orders or laws here are the wayward jurors. I can’t wait for the first request I get to make a pre-litigation documentary film that jurors can easily access on the internet.

America’s Military Muslim Adventures Must End.
Washington, DC—I will begin by blaming George H.W. Bush and then George W. Bush. Barack Obama is no better here at all.
John F. Kennedy in an honorable effort wanted to protect countries in Southeast Asia from the Communist menace sent our kids to war. We took over for the French and began to sacrifice some 60,000 of our country’s kids protecting South Viet Nam. For everyone killed there were five more with horrible injuries both physical and mental.
Soon the Communists and Socialists within our own government began obstructing and aiding our enemies. The Socialist majority in our Congress made sure our military did not have the tools or orders to stop the invasion from the North including China. The war was prolonged until our exhausted soldiers were withdrawn.
Millions of non-Communists were murdered in the holocaust that we allowed to take place after. It was a victory for world Socialism.
Now these politicians have sent our kids off for the impossible task of separating good Muslims from the bad ones in Iraq and Afghanistan when we should have simply turned both countries into nuclear wastelands. 13th century style Muslim tribes are simply sending our children home in rubber bags or wheelchairs.
Those backward countries will threaten us until we blow them out of existence. If we are to fight a war we must do what it takes to win it and our government does not want to happen. There is no point in the vast waste of military resources and American lives in a pretend effort.
It’s time to fold our tents and go home. We are not the world police force. American patriots need to start a war against Communism and Socialism at home. We must clean our own house now. There are lots of Communists that need eradication within our own government here. If blood is to be spilled, let it start here since the survival of liberty and free enterprise requires that. A good Communist is a dead Communist.

TV News Has To Make Changes or Die
Houston, TX—Edward R. Murrow and other TV news pioneers dictated the format of TV news. Beyond high definition color broadcasts and glitzy graphics for our new flat panel TVs little has changed in the 55 years since.
The teleprompter along with pleasant personality with and a decent smile has made the anchor. The anchors for the most part were serious journalists but that all ends the moment they sit in the anchor’s throne. News gathering is no longer their responsibility.
We pay the pretty news readers much more than reporters and they are the ones that get the celebrity treatment. But are anchors really needed?
Tribune broadcasting is about to find out after their Houston station, KIAH-TV (CW) jettisoned their newsreaders and are about to begin broadcasting without them.
TV news has lost huge amounts of revenue and cutting the fat out of the budget can’t be avoided. Anchors are expensive. Anchors do bring order to the stories as the serves as guides to the newscasts. They are the ones that deliver’s the tease on upcoming stories to motivate viewers away from using their remote controls.
It will take some cleaver news writing and jockeying around by producers to eliminate the anchors. I think we all need to hold our breath and see how this works.
Max Headroom the computer generated news anchor seen above was ahead of his time when he first appeared in the 1980’s. Perhaps he is now back, with a vengeance!
There is good news in all of this for me. That is, instead of watching some lame TV news broadcast you are visiting me! We will see how this all shakes out, until then stay tuned. Oops! Please excuse that anchor style tease!

Arizona And The Illegal Immigration Crisis
Phoenix, AZ—I’ve known State Senator Russ Pearce for 30 years and Governor Jan Brewer and Sheriff Joe Arpiao for nearly as long. They all have had to live with and personally pay for the consequences of the failure and refusal of the federal government to do its duty securing our borders and tax treasury.
Pearce was a Maricopa County Deputy Sheriff long before Sheriff Joe Arpaio came to Arizona. He had to deal with the drug smugglers, dealers and the crimes such as kidnapping and murder that are no small part of that illegal alien culture. Pearce has seen the bodies of the victims murdered by the criminal aliens and has had to risk his life arresting the killers.
Jan Brewer and every other Arizona taxpayer has had to personally shell out for the entitlements, entitlement fraud, medical care, criminal prosecution, criminal defense and jailing of an unimaginable population of trespassers that have invaded Arizona.
Along with crime, poverty and drugs the trespassers bring diseases of every description from countries where people don’t get routine immunizations for prevention.
Brewer, Pearce and Aripao are simply doing their duty to the citizens of Arizona required by law. They have all had their very lived threatened and have been made victims of a vicious hate campaign for doing the jobs they were elected to do.
Mexico and the other countries the invaders abandoned are not sending us their doctors or engineers. Many are employable but force American citizens and lawful aliens to compete with them for jobs in an impossible economy.
The Leftist darlings of our major media organizations overlook the Federal crime of Obstructing Justice being committed by countless government officials. The media has also have waged a propaganda war trying to indoctrinate Americans to accept this invasion as they ignore the financial impact on American families.
These sub-standard corrupt nation’s, population have a duty like our own American founding fathers to overthrow the despots and create a new government that emulates that in the country where they wish to live. Freedom is not free but hard won with the blood of patriots.
Pearce and Brewer have a duty to protect Arizona, their taxpayers and thankfully they’ve stepped up to the plate to deal with it as the oaths that have taken dictate.
Americans have been redundantly polled on this issue. The will of our people is to enforce immigration laws and reject the amnesty demands of the criminal aliens and their supporters. Americans have said no in overwhelming numbers.
Americans don’t hate Mexicans or those from the other countries south of our border. Americans do hate poverty, crime, ignorance and being forced to pay for it. This has never been about race or racism. This is really all about Socialists desperately trying to create a new and poorer America that will embrace Socialism rather than reject it.
Socialism can’t thrive in a prosperous free nation.

Drew Peterson Rifle, Protected By The Second Amendment—Motions Filed
Joliet, IL—Drew Peterson’s lawyers filed two separate Motions to dismiss charges that Peterson unlawfully possessed a short barreled rifle in violation of Illinois law.
The Peterson weapon charge was and is nothing more than a conspiratorial police method of stripping Peterson of his right to possess and carry a firearm. Authorities want to justify this because Peterson is under two active but yet unsolved investigations.
Motion to dismiss Re: LEOSA ACT is sealed.
I can tell you that there is a somewhat new Federal Law called the Law Enforcement Officer's Safety Act that immunizes cops that possess such weapons. Since cops are never arrested for such crimes there’s no relevant case law to expressly deal with a short barreled rifle.
Drew Peterson was on the SWAT team and they were required to obtain their own suitable weapons. Those weapons are used during hostage rescue and hazardous search warrant operations. The need for a shorter barrel is so that in the confined space of doorways and such suspects cannot wrest the rifle away from the officer and use it against him or innocent bystanders. The use of a longer barrel would become a public safety risk.
Examination of the various weapons used by police and federal officers throughout the land would reveal the popularity of the short barrel rifles and carbine for police work. Peterson should have immunity and be covered under LEOSA .

I’m not sure I understand why this motion is sealed or what it could contain to make it a secret.
Motion to Dismiss under the Second Amendment is not sealed.
Peterson has also sought refuge under the Second Amendment with the three major rulings that have reaffirmed the rights of Americans to keep and bear arms.
The weapon is protected under USA vs. Miller, District of Columbia vs. Heller and McDonald vs. City of Chicago. The 70 year-old Miller case specifically protects weapons suitable for military use such as the Peterson rifle. .

The burden to prove a crime here is on the state as always. The defenses available are nothing less than awesome. I guess liberty conveys a lot of power to all Americans.
In the end, this shockingly frivols charge should fail.
African-American Entitlement Zombies-- A Product Of American Social Engineering
Washington, DC—In what could only be describe as racist inspired effort to establish Socialism in America, the African-American Entitlement Zombie was created.
When the state residency requirements to collect welfare were outlawed by the Earl Warren Court in the early 1960s the poorest African-Americans began a mass-migration to the big cities. The outlawed residency requirements insured that welfare assistance would automatically be denied to anyone who could not establish that they were a resident of that state for at least one year.
States like Michigan, Illinois, New York, Maryland and Ohio paid generous benefits to those people unable or unwilling to work. The states in the Deep South did not believe in the handout programs.
Racist Southern officials soon realized they could export their poorest African-Americans through educating them of the generous entitlements in the North. Officials actually provided one way bus transportation and five dollars in cash to anyone who’d voluntarily leave. The overloaded buses left the South taking millions of needy people far away from local taxpayer’s and their pockets.
The already challenged African-Americans wasted no time settling into the Land of Milk and Honey. The welfare rolls in the North burst as the political climate changed dramatically. Those addicted to entitlements always vote for politicians that bring more entitlements. This knowledge was fully exploited by the hard corps Socialists in our government. This was and is truly a vicious circle.
The schools were quickly adapted to become day care or free breakfast and lunch centers. Learning the three R’s took a back seat to learning about entitlements.
Every effort was made, to establish a new, right to not to have to work. That concept took hold and the African-American Entitlement Zombie was born. They were people who could be controlled by relatively small amounts of free money. If they wanted more money crime was the vehicle to obtain anything extra. That was considered a “Black thing” by the racist White Socialists.
They conveniently housed these people in huge ghettos away from their elite neighborhoods. The real estate industry was more than cooperative in assisting through their Blockbusting programs that provided handsome profits to speculators and destroyed the home investment of millions of White homeowners. The tool of the Blockbuster’s trade was a simple for sale sign and the sight of shabbily dressed African-Americans home shopping. The result was panic selling at fire sale prices.
The sad truth is African-Americans were exploited redundantly and today Socialists have replaced the slave owners. They created a vast underclass of needy, ignorant, violent people that will never escape their pre-programmed existence.
The Socialists have created a broad base of African-American supporters of Socialism since they have no alternative. They have been denied the tools of self-reliance and financial survival. They’ve been encouraged to develop a culture of single-motherhood, drug use, crime and the right to demand free money.
This social engineering scam was as racist a plan that was ever created. The scheme has, destroyed lives, and overloaded our jails and prisons as it dramatically slowed America’s productivity and growth.
There are lots of Fat-Cat African-American’s that deserve a great deal of blame for this mess within our own government. They don’t have to live in or be a part of what they helped create. The decades old Congressional Black Caucus led by none other than Barack Obama has done everything they could to maintain the underclass of African-American Entitlement Zombies in America.

Are we ready for President Joe Biden?
Image via Wikipedia
Washington, DC—It’s going to happen well within the 909 days left in Barack Obama’s presidency. Obama will be removed from the Whitehouse one way or another over his treason, corruption revelations, or his exposed foreign origin.
No matter what happens, Obama will have left his mark as en empty suit trying to do the impossible. He tried to make socialism work in a country that has rejected that form of government.
