Mass Murder Suspect James Holmes. 24 Aurora, CO —The nation is saddened by this the senseless killings by a gunman taking advantage of another Gun Free Zone. The Liberal gun rights haters won’t let the investigation unfold or the bodies of the dead get cold before they suggest all manner of blame.  The Tea Party has already been blamed and I’m waiting to hear that it’s Bush’s fault. I too need to investigate and weigh in on this tragedy but first I need some simple facts.  Just who is 24 year-old James Holmes? How does one transition from a promising medical student to mass murderer?  PhD students don’t usually surface in violent events so there must be a lot to learn about mental health system failures and such here.  We can all guess what motivated this guy or where his weapons came from. The deadly explosive devices police say he placed in his apartment were not purchased at some local Walmart.   Before I begin to assign blame I w...

Our prisons uniformly hate the idea of making any technology available to inmates.  Prisons and jails by necessity employ really low wattage folks that cannot grasp even the simplest of computer tasks. Right now any mail to inmates must be opened, read and examined for cleverly concealed narcotics.  That costs a bundle and sometimes seriously delays the mail to the inmates. They need not make computers available to inmates but they could create inmate e-mail accounts for purposes of simply receiving the mail.  Two things swill happen.  For one, the inmates will get more mail but the likelihood of smuggled narcotics is totally eliminated.  The second is that it will be a lot easier for staff members to save the communications for intelligence and investigative purposes. If e-mail was instituted it could be a perk granted or withdrawn as inmate behavior dictates.  I’m also a big fan of Skype.com to replace maximum-security non-contact visit...

Phoenix, AZ —Sheriff Joe Arpaio deserves criticism for the treatment of prisoners not convicted of crimes being held in his jail.   Those are arrested people that deserve the presumption of innocence that Joe’s punitive jail mocks. Joe failed in his selection of a disloyal Chief Deputy that had been a really poor choice.  On the other hand a loyal and fine man was castigated and banished from his administration in error.  Joe is a lot of things and perfect is not one of them.  I have known Joe from before he was elected.  I do agree with him on many issues.  I have to respect the science of document examination and the evidence there points to the forgery pictured above.  There are also serious signs that the forger of the Obama birth certificate released by the Whitehouse did not understand codes and numbers associated with the document.  Analysis of the numbers and code revealed that the document is not genuine.  The ev...

Jacksonville, FL —A mob of more than 300 violent African-Americans were caught on video storming, looting and doing major damage to a local Wal-Mart here last night.  Make no mistake this is terrorism and it's happening here.  Where is Homeland Security and Janet Napolitano ?  Is this the first major shot fired in an American race war?  There are sure to be more attacks before our summer is over.  The major media is doing all they can to play down the disturbing racial aspects of this vicious attack. The video has been removed by YouTube I guess it was too explosive. The truth is explosive and lots of people can't handle the truth.

Chicago, IL —A local newspaper did a front-page story on cops who were deemed injured on duty and unable to do police work.  The story seems to suggest abuse and malingering by those injured while protecting others. They cited a few officers that went on to new careers and have left the city never to return.  I can’t really see how this is newsworthy.  Millions of people receive similar benefits, though most are from private insurance plans.  Some of the insurance plans are far better than others.  The City of Chicago is self-insured. Cops must say fit as they face injuries constantly.  People assault cops on a regular basis and a busy cop gets slammed into walls or worse routinely.   The rough stuff for cops begins in training where recruits are injured in defensive tactics and physical agility classes.  The human body can only take so much abuse. The City of Chicago used to have a light duty program for injured cops.  I remem...

Washington, DC —We are over-populated with the ignorant, the needy and criminals.  Government at every level is over-bloated and cannot be sustained.  Pensions everywhere are bankrupt or will be very soon.  We have taxed the productive people to the point of forcing them to flee a very real form of slavery.  We have become  a police state.  American citizenship has been greatly devalued. There is little incentive to manufacture products here.  The nation is at a point of despair.   With our massive economic downturn government at every level has grown and become even more oppressive. Soon you can expect critics of government corruption and mismanagement to be silenced and their words banned as Hate Speech.  Every business we drive away from our shores brings unemployment.  That takes significant numbers of productive people and places them on the dole.  In turn creates more helpless dependents that become too d...

Chicago, IL —I got a rude surprise the other day when I went to lunch with a delightful Belgium actress. We went to an old hangout, R.J. Grunts near Clark Street and Dickens Ave. I did not know about the new pay stations and there were none in sight. I parked and we had a nice lunch. When I returned I discovered that some civilian issued my borrowed Hummer two computer-generated citations. I also failed to notice that the vehicle I was driving was missing a front license plate. I was sandbagged and became an extortion victim to the tune of $110.00. Because of this crappy experience I have purchased my last meal in Chicago, ever. I will only dine in the suburbs from now on. I won’t shop or buy gasoline in that city. Chicago won’t get a dime from me ever again. If I had any free time at all I would have destroyed as many parking pay stations as I could for sweet revenge. I know my cop friends have no interest in catching anyone destroying these devices that are strangli...

Chicago, IL —I lived at Marina City for about eight years during the 1970’s.  It was a safe place, well at least people thought so, but I soon learned ignorance was bliss. In this nice building containing 900 apartments there was a grocery store, drug store, dry cleaners, a three screen movie theater, ice skating rink, bowling alley and health club.  Of course don’t let me forget the marina below that could at one time store 900 boats.  I was one of several cops that lived in the building. As cop we had perks such as the ability to park and retrieve our own cars.  The parking garage needed all the help they could get keeping local thugs from stealing cars or vehicle contents.  Of course our encounters with criminals were, for the most part  kept under wraps as not to disturb the residents.  I liked to walk to Pizzeria Uno or the Billy Goat to bring back some of what I consider the more important food groups.  Occasionally I’d en...

Chicago, IL —I had lunch yesterday with a lovely retired lady cop in the Windy City.   She has enjoyed retirement as she plots her exit from Illinois tax slavery and this corrupt and bankrupt metropolis. After lunch I walked this gal to her car and we talked about how the law abiding citizens and how they are forced to become bait for mobs of thugs by unconstitutional gun laws forced upon them by moronic politicians.  To my surprise she had a very creative and effective solution! With the plague of criminal Flash Mobs violently assaulting tourists and yuppies in Chicago's Loop and Near North Gold Coast areas people need protection.  Of course because of HR 218 (The Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act) she can carry a loaded firearm nearly anywhere she wants.  But her first line of defense is not the gun!  She’s got a big can of Raid Insect killer ! As scientists have raced to find non-lethal and non-toxic sprays like tear gas and pepper sp...

Chicago, IL—I will be chatting up a storm on WIND Radio 560 AM Chicago Sunday Night from 7:00 until 9:00 PM (Chicago Time). The show is carried live on the WIND website and we will take your calls from anywhere in the world!

Most young Americans don’t really understand the significance of the Fourth of July beyond fireworks and a holiday.  They don’t seem to understand or care that this was the day a brave and emerging nation said no to extortionate taxation, big government and tyranny. As long as this generation have their IPhones, IPads and filled Starbucks cup life is beautiful.  They are far more concerned with manufactured, no talent celebrities of today’s mindless reality television shows than the heroes that made their comforts possible. They more than willingly line up at every airport like frightened sheep for the government goons hired by TSA .  The IPhone generation, just don’t see the staggering loss of Liberty anymore than Germany’s population did in1933.  They certainly don’t understand what drove the brave American heroes of 1776 to stand up against tyranny instead of simply cooperating with their government. The Drug War and the War on Liberty have destr...

I don’t care where you live on this planet history is constantly being made.  You can either, observe and trust your memory or capture events forever on a quality camera. Trust me making videos pays! I’m a believer in using the raw power of capturing moments that will otherwise be lost forever, especially when there is no discernible cost involved.  When in doubt I shoot video with the best camera I have available. When it comes to video the rules are simple, hold the camera as still as possible, get as close as possible to your subject and let  every shot roll for at least 15 seconds.  Keep the camera rolling gathering more video not less!  Only use the zoom when you can’t come in for the close-up.  Tight zooming without a steady tripod increases camera shake dramatically and shaky video is trash. Always shoot the video horizontal and never vertical.  Your video needs to conform with our wide screen TV sets.   The other thing yo...

Washington, DC —Today there are millions of government employees and government contractors engaged in various roles serving taxpayers. Some of them have inside information that is about to change the course of American history. Today our government is more than ever, unaccountable and out-of-control. Many agencies operate like third world dictatorships where corruption of every kind is a way of life. Frustrated workers want to blow the whistle and turn to the news media. That happens all the time. Unfortunately too often the mainstream media won’t do their job because they are politically in bed with government wrongdoers. Such was the case when BATFE agents shocked by the Obama Administrations intentional delivery of thousands of firearms to Mexican drug cartels tried to expose the program. That deadly operation was called Fast and Furious , and Gun Walker . These whistle-blowing agents were ordered to hand over government stimulus tax money to known criminals who w...

David Grove, Fake War Hero Washington, DC —Most true heroes I’ve met are somewhat slow to talk about their exploits to strangers. Okay, I will make an exception for decorated politicians. There are cemeteries filled real heroes. There are lots real heroes that have never been recognized for their selfless acts.  We give medals, admiration and our thanks to those who risked life and limb to save others. Then there is the valor thief who brags about dangerous missions and exploits that never happened. These are total jerks that con their way through life. They do this to get employment, trust and attention from potential sex partners. There is usually some kind of ill-gotten gain involved.  Thankfully today there are military databases that list those who have won distinguished awards that can be used to expose some of the fraudsters.  I served my country as an Army Medical corpsman in Cold War Germany somehow escaping combat in Viet Nam . Frankly the...

Washington, DC —Despite claims of open government and transparency the Obama Administration put a bunch of unelected Left Wing lunatics in charge of reinventing healthcare and insurance.   They had a lot of things in mind bout none of them were about the rights of all Americans under our Constitution. The Obamacare project or that Socialist conspiracy was passed into law by a congress that had admittedly not even read the massive legislative package.   The bill was passed on pure partisanship and 'faith'.   That alone should invalidate the whole mess. Our Supreme Court will weigh in on this monster Thursday and it already looks as though it’s in for a well-deserved, massive rewrite.   Now back to the real healthcare crisis at hand.   I said we have a created crisis.   We must examine just what we did that deprived Americans of affordable insurance and healthcare.   The cost of healthcare has skyrocketed primarily durin...
