Good news from Iran: The Israelis are still working to stop the Iranian nuclear program

One of the many disasters of the Obama years was the Iran nuke deal, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). In exchange for one billion seven hundred million dollars (400 million in cold, hard, cash), we got...their...

Trump's Schedule and the Value of the President's Time

Back in my time as the battalion S2 (intelligence and security officer) of the 1st Battalion, 3rd Air Defense Regiment, Fort Carson, Colo., I needed to get an appointment on my battalion commander's schedule.  I got with the battalion S...

What Mass Shootings Mean for Good Police Work

In the weeks after the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School massacre (please don't call it a tragedy), the concepts of service and leadership have been churning in my head. As the events have unfolded, we've discovered four school resource of...

Oakland literally to have the inmates running the asylum

I've written on how police are withdrawing, not going out and seeking crime, but pulling back.  They are waiting until called, handing their calls for service, and playing it safe.  If you want reasons why, look at the railroading of of...

Cops Going Galt

Cops are pulling back and yes, “women and minorities” will be "hardest hit." I recently read an article on the results of the “reforms” of the Chicago Police Department from the Obama “Just-Us" Departme...

The Republic Strikes Back

The election of Donald Trump was a political earthquake. More than just populism, Trump's victory opens the door to the dismantling of a century's worth of what has come to be known as "the administrative state" and returning to its...

Fake News: Presidential security and the WaPo

One of the running jokes I used in my intelligence officer days was, “I routinely read the propaganda of America’s enemies. Pravda, Izvestia, The Worker’s Daily and The New York Times.  We can add The Washington Post. A rece...

Hillary and Taxes

Hillary Clinton: 'Unquestionably well-prepared'?

I’ve been in the intelligence racket for almost 30 years (intel is like the mob or civil service: once you’re in, you’re in), and I’ve taken to reading a wide variety of news sources, despite the orientation.  I remember ...

The Freddie Gray case: And then there were none

The Baltimore judicial railroad of the six police officers who handled Freddie Gray has come to an end.  We have just heard of some justice coming from Mobtown! The final charges against Baltimore police officers involved in the Freddie Gra...

The Feds’ Security Theater

I’ve subscribed Strategic Forecasting (STRATFOR) for the better part of two decades. I’ve often described them as America’s versions of Jane’s and told their vice-president that their reports were “intel-porn” for ...

Everything was accurate. But none of it was true.

Yes, I stole the title from 1981’s Absence of Malice, but it is accurate.  And true. In the immediate aftermath of the Orlando nightclub shooting, a very close friend of mine posted an article on how this man was a “self hating ho...

This nation does not need the draft

A proposal to include women in the military draft, supported in Congressional testimony by the heads of the Marine Corps and Army, was stripped from the National Defense Authorization Act by a close vote of the House Rules Committee this week. But ag...

What the client wants…

Years ago, I had the duty of testifying in the case of man who had raped a child (less than 6).  If there is the face of evil, I saw it in that court.  So did the jury, which took less than 20 minutes to sentence him to life without the pos...

This land is our land…

A liberal friend from high school posted this on in his Facebook page, and I found  one part of it very interesting.   (I've blocked an obscene part of the post.) Well, many points are dead off – my truck is an F-150 (Te...

Cops, Cop-Killers, and Texas Executions

The State of Texas arguably has America's most active capital punishment system in America, and the express lane to our death chamber is to murder a cop.  This is where we come in.  This in not a specific motorcycle group.  We are ...

The Baltimore Judicial Railroad

The usual suspects are outraged Officer William Porter was not convicted of a felony in the transport and eventual death of Freddie Gray.  From the Baltimore Sun editorial of December 17, "...after jurors failed to come to an unanimous deci...

Ending Illegal Immigration

With the recent discussion of immigration and calls for “comprehensive immigration reform” from both Republican and Democratic Party leaders, the question is, why? Why “reform” something that is not being enforced now?  A...

A Plague of Unruly Children

On Halloween in National Review, the estimable David French opined that the Spring Valley High School video of a deputy dragging a child out of a chair wasn’t “disturbing,” I beg to differ; it’s very disturbing, but not for th...
