Los Angeles, CA--As California's politicians enact new protections and enablements for its criminals the results were to be expected.  As California arrogantly bucks the nationwide trend of reversing gun bans the crime rate here is going off the charts.  Police are unable to respond to even the more serious crimes in a timely fashion. So now even the cops and their union are telling people to pack heat.  Guns are just as necessary other pieces of safety equipment like seat belts or fire extinguishers.  Without them and some training you and your family's lives are more endangered.  For many decades after the invention of automobiles most people scoffed at the idea of wearing seat belts as unnecessary!  Statistics were clear that seat belts saved lives. Finally laws made using them mandatory.  You only need them if you get into an accident!  You only need a gun when criminals threaten you or a family member's life!  Your chances of being a cri...

Lincoln, MT —In 1978 a two-decade bombing campaign began that untimely took three lives and maimed some 23 people.   Ingeniously hand constructed bombs were delivered, mailed or otherwise planted targeting people involved with advanced technology.   It was an effort to intimidate those involved to obstruct and discontinue their efforts. I worked on this massive investigation myself for among others, ABC News .   The FBI dubbed the bomber as the, " UNABOM " (UNiversity & Airline BOMber).   Their agents meticulously reconstructed the bombs in their investigative process that consumed many of their entire careers.     Everyone was trying to guess the reasoning behind this frightening serial killer’s actions.   The New York Times received a somewhat strange letter on April 24, 1995.   The author promised "to desist from terrorism" if the Times or the Washington Post published his manifesto, Industrial Society and Its Future (al...

I Los Angeles, CA--I had my somewhat pricy DJI Inspire 1 camera drone for five months.   I love the product and it never gave a bad moment.  Well not quite.   DJI has an update policy from Hell.  They suddenly announce a firmware update.  You can't fly until you get to good internet service with a computer, download and install the update.   That is a disaster when you drive to a location for a shoot and everything stops.   Okay that sucks but while attempting my last update for the cold weather battery fix things went to Hell. The camera stopped retaining the little SD memory card spitting it out!  There suddenly was a second problem with the coupling of the camera and gimbal to the drone.  Contact was somehow lost.   Technical support was sympathetic and told me to take it to Fedex and provided several explicate pages of instructions on shipping it back. The repair facility is in nearby Carson but they demand it be shipped by Fedex eve...

Los Angeles, CA —I’ve always been sad that the greatest Villain of the Die Hard film franchise, Hans Gruber was killed off and has never returned.  I wanted so much to see a rematch that was impossible after the wild Gruber death scene. Now it’s even sadder to report that the actor, Alan Rickman has left our world at age 69 from cancer. Rickman was an incredibly versatile actor that could play anything marvelously.  Hans Gruber was a challenging role for Rickman playing the cunning, educated, suave and nasty terrorist/robber in the original Die Hard film.   Rickman mastered a German accent.  Gruber’s weapon of choice was a classic HK P7-M13, 9mm pistol with a suppressor.  It’s a very rare, highly dependable and undeniably expensive pistol to say the least.  I have the blue steel version terrific gun sans the suppressor. Actors sometimes have the privilege to die more than once! This was Ricman’t lot in life. Rickman’s death in ...

Berlin, Germany--Now there is little question that bringing in upwards of one million Islamic "refugees" to Germany was a grave and perhaps irreversible error.  Are they really refugees or military invaders? They are mostly men of military age. We will be finding out as this story unfolds.  The German media has been acting like Chancellor Mutti Merkel's lap dogs by dutifully under reporting despicable crimes committed by Islamic monsters.   Of course the American media has been doing the same here.   However, unlike Europeans, Americans have plenty of firearms and are more inclined to put a halt to the horrors we are seeing in Europe.  All over Europe there is an apparent tsunami rape and robbery crisis as a result of the immigration fiasco.   As for the information I obtained on my recent visit to London and Germany it was from a number of cops in different areas in and near Berlin.  Cops told me it's getting worse by the second.  Cops also tell ...

Santa Fe, NM —Let me begin with the confession I love women.  I adore elegance, grace, beauty and brains. Some believe that since I despise Hillary Clinton I must be sexist. I despise most every politician regardless of sex because they are all corrupt, freedom hating control freaks. I’m beyond disappointed that women are routinely programed to be second-class.   They are the wives, mothers, housekeepers and they make magic in the kitchen. Because of technology and work saving devices women have much more time and ability to break out of that stereotype. Women unnecessarily miss out on a lot of life’s fun and excitement because they think some activities are somehow not feminine or somehow too masculine. Creating videos with drones is something enjoyed by less than three percent of women.   Why I ask?    It’s easy, fun and creative.   The women I’ve seen using drones are more skilled than the men.   Things are changin...

Cologne, Germany —An irreversible political decision was made under the guise of humanitarianism to bring in one million refugees from Islamic nations into Germany.  The political Left did this like they always do to bring in people they believe will keep a majority of poor so the Socialist political agenda is realized and maintained.  These predominately Islamic refugee immigrants cannot speak German or even English that’s widely spoken in Europe.   They have no job skills other than their cultural military killing related knowledge.   They hate the Western world, its culture, Christian religion and women’s rights.   With rare exceptions, these people can only survive from what they are given or forcibly take from the Europeans. These Muslims are claiming that the suggestive clothing worn by German women is an excuse brutal rape and robbery.   The Islamists claim they can’t control their sexual impulsivity when women are not covered in Burkas....
