Chicago, IL —Chicago is the home of massive election fraud.   They register the dogs, cats and dead to vote.   In the African-American ghettos there are no Republicans.  The Democratic Precinct Captains own and control the polling places.  The “Republican” election judges are always Democrats masquerading to satisfy legal requirements.     Poll watchers are routinely intimidated, their cars vandalized and the votes are always tabulated in high these crime areas late at night. The reality is the Precinct captains simply vote for every no show voter.   Chicago’s ghetto returns are always the last ones turned into the Recorder’s office.    The Precinct Captain has a lot of work to do because the election judges unpaid helpers making the Captain happy. The most serious problem today is the 11 million illegal aliens that have as many reasons to stuff our ballot boxes.   They want entitlements and amnesty.    ...

Helicopter Crash Scene Courtesy of KOMO-TV Seattle, WA Seattle, WA —Tragedy struck this morning as a TV news helicopter crashed near the landmark Space Needle.   At least two people are reported dead and another is listed in critical condition at a local hospital.   At least three cars have been set on fire as result of the crash. TV news helicopters have a relatively good safety record, but every few years somewhere, these horrible accidents are repeated.    Over the years I’ve lost friends in crashes in Phoenix, AZ and Denver, CO that lost their lives covering news from the air.   Trust me, it always hurts. Aerial news coverage is necessary but can be a little risky.   It is also the single most expensive cost of most TV news organizations.   TV news has lost a major portion of its audience and revenue and many news organizations have curtailed or eliminated helicopter coverage altogether. Technology has brought us something...

CT Gov. Dannel Malloy signs new gun ban and registration law Los Angeles, CA —In the not so golden state of California politicians never met a gun ban, restriction or tax they did not absolutely love. Aside from the guarantee of the Second Amendment politicians here and in the other Leftist run jurisdictions of this once great nation regularly trample on the rights of citizens. Permits and registration requirements all come with serious legal baggage.   First and foremost gun permits and registration come with special tax assessments or fees.   The cost of fingerprint screening and administrative matters are forced on every gun owner.   Second is that gun owners are forced to surrender their privacy by answering personal questions on the gun permit and registration application documents. In many states the gun registration and permit records are considered public and the media often publishes some of these records.   Newspapers have even...

Los Angeles, CA —Pornography, hate speech and Rock & Roll music have all come under attack in America.  The religious misfits of the Westboro Baptist Church disrupt funerals of our fallen soldiers carrying their disjointed messages of hate.  In the 1970’s neo-Nazis sought to picket Skokie, IL , which was where many Concentration Camp survivors were still living.  Repugnant words, displays, videos seem to be everywhere.  Certainly political messages many of us despise assault us everywhere.  We can’t seem to find refuge from something offensive.   Many ignorant people in this land demand strict laws to curb offensive speech.  There really is no happy medium or acceptable compromise.  What we create when we try are subjective judgments of vague words like immoral, obscene or hateful.  When does art become pornography?  When is disagreement hate?  The best way we can determine what Americans want politically is thr...

Mayor Daley leading the St. Patrick's Day Parade Chicago, IL —Before the push to demonize Catholicism here and elsewhere St. Patrick’s Day was a special event in Chicago like none other.   The radical Left Wing used their influence to destroy a grand celebration of Irish pride. The date of St. Patrick’s Day is March 17 th.    It’s by no means the nearest Saturday.   Politicians all but ended local government cooperation throwing cold water on the celebrations all over the city.    This special day was not by any means an official paid holiday for anyone.   However in Chicago the city simply all but shut down.   The children played hooky from school and everyone took part in celebrations.   At the city offices and private businesses nobody called in sick, it was understood they weren’t showing up for work!   This was by no means a religious celebration, but one of absolute fun and merriment. Most of Chicago’s Democr...

Phoenix, AZ —I’ve been in the fight for Gun-Rights here since the 1980’s.  Arizona had a real Wild West mentality mixed with the Liberal ideation of the huge influx big city Eastern transplants that brought their gun bans with them. Those from New York, New Jersey and Chicago fled from their cities but quickly demanded the same kind of Liberal baloney that made them run away in the first place!   It may not make sense, but it’s reality.   Gun control has long offered the false promise of greater public safety.   Some people actually believe that in a free society you can simply make laws and people will somehow obey them.   If we can’t keep drugs and weapons out of our maximum-security prisons how can we possibly control them in our cities?   The problem with gun control is a simple one.   Gun bans are unenforceable.   The Fourth Amendment in our Bill of Rights guarantees the right to be free of unreasonable searches.   Okay, man...

Los Angeles, CA —We’ve all seen Mel Gibson at his best on the silver screen. We’ve seen him at his worst when he was arrested for DUI and in a much over reported disastrous relationship with an unfortunate gold-digger. Hollywood has blackballed this terrific actor and director.  Mel Gibson wants to work and he deserves the ability to create more blockbuster films.  Like it or not there is only one Mel Gibson. Robert Downey, Jr . hit bottom and did a prison stretch too. Downey got out cleaned up but was unemployable.  He had more chapters to write in his interrupted career.  Downey was no longer insurable and despite his immense talent was through as an actor.  That was until Mel Gibson stepped in and covered the insurance for Downey. Downey rebounded like a slingshot and film audiences and were never disappointed.  That was because of Gibson’s generosity and humanity.  I know that Gibson is looking for new sources of fundi...
