A Beating and Racial Slurs – but No Hate-crime Charges

Selwyn Duke — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 16:06:46 +0000

In Philadelphia, three teenage boys start calling a fourth teenager racially derogatory names, then attack him and a white cab driver, yet no hate crime charges are filed. Ah, the left-wing capacity for rationalization knows no bounds. While we’re told that even substantive criticism of Barack Obama is driven by the hatefulness the left has [...]

Maybe Some Pepperoni Pizza Would be in Order!

Problems with the judicial system. Today nobody is keeping an eye on the judges. A personal experience. I have a difficult time with judges. And in all fairness since the judge has to decide who is telling the truth then most of their results are bogus. Judge Judy wins out because there is at least [...]

Should Politics and Foreign Policy Affect our Military Justice System?

Dan Miller — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 22:43:57 +0000

The military justice system demands justice for our troops, not revenge upon them to curry favor with others.

The video of U.S. Marines who apparently urinated on Taliban corpses has gone viral and not only the Islamic world is watching. Ranking Government officials have condemned the suspect Marines. “Secretary of State Hillary Clinton [...]

Crime Without Punishment

Lester Jackson, Ph.D. — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 16:17:16 +0000

Out of thin air, a right has been officially and surreptitiously created exclusively for select previously convicted murderers: the right to commit, cost-free, further violence, and even further murders.

In common parlance, "getting away with murder" is a metaphor for doing something wrong without suffering deserved adverse consequences. Getting away with actual murder has [...]

Mexico’s Feds Dismantle Local Police Force

Jim Kouri — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 19:06:13 +0000

"The problem with corruption within Mexican coupled with the political corruption within Attorney General Eric Holder's Justice Department — including harebrained schemes like the Fast & Furious debacle — makes it less likely that the 'war on drugs' will end successfully," said former narcotics detective Glenn Knudsen. A major police department in Mexico has been completely dismantled by federal police and [...]

Newt and the Judges

Bruce Walker — Sat, 31 Dec 2011 19:55:42 +0000

Gingrich has proposed a straightforward and proper means of restoring government to the people and their elected. Rather than scurry in timid fear of an angry establishment, we ought to embrace his plan.

Newt Gingrich has created a ruckus, even among notional “conservatives” like Mike Huckabee and former Bush Attorney General Michael [...]

Obama Targeting Police Nationwide to Divert from Fast and Furious

Rachel Alexander — Fri, 23 Dec 2011 16:57:18 +0000

Over the past two weeks, the Department of Justice has announced findings of racism and other police abuses taking place within numerous police departments around the country. Sheriff Joe Arpaio is included, no doubt as retaliation for enforcing laws against illegal immigration. Racism is not increasing; instead, Obama, our first black president, is trying to [...]

America on the Brink of Anarchy

JB Williams — Fri, 23 Dec 2011 15:30:49 +0000

When our elected representatives operate with a total disregard for the rule of constitutional authority and law, it is only a matter of time before the people disregard the law as well.

When government leaders demonstrate a blatant disregard for the rule of law, the citizens soon follow that example. When justice becomes [...]

Senators Lee and…Kohl Rightly Call on the FTC to Thoroughly Investigate Google

Seton Motley — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 17:35:28 +0000

Google and its political allies want to turn the Internet into an “information commons.” To that end, they seek to weaken copyright, trademark and patent protections. They want to illegally make money off of your stuff – at the expense of you legally making money off of your stuff.

Google is the Evil Empire. The Internet [...]

Private Manning – Wikileaks Hearing Reveals Army’s Security Laxity

Jim Kouri — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 17:02:14 +0000

Sources say that Manning should have been disciplined in May 2010 when he physically attacked and injured a fellow intelligence analyst, and in December 2009 when he was involved in an incident in which he became enraged, overturned a table and attempted to grab a weapon from a nearby gun rack. Security within the intelligence division of the U.S. military exhibits so much laxity [...]
