Convicted murderess Jodi Arias, 32, says in a post conviction interview that she prefers the death penalty to life in prison. In a statement worthy of a theatrical presentation, she grabbed the spotlight — hopefully for the final time – with,“I believe death is the ultimate freedom.”
Arias confessed to the grisly June 4, 2008 killing of her former boyfriend Travis Alexander, 30, in the bathroom of his Mesa, Arizona home. He was found five days...
Govt. endorsed snitching raises vast potential for abuse
If you only paid attention to the liberal media’s depiction of Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, you’d think the professional lawman had neither a concept of legal parameters nor possessed what is clearly a sterling law enforcement career. In fact, Republican Arpaio is widely respected among the law-abiding citizens who have reelected him to an unprecedented five 4-year terms.
It’s harebrained Democrat Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric...
Bi-partisan acknowledgment that the nation’s legal immigration system is also in need of repair
Earlier this week, as the nation was still reeling, trying to absorb the grisly aftermath of the Boston marathon bombings, Ann Coulter wrote a cogent column titled: The problem isn’t just illegal immigration, it’s legal immigration, too. Coulter’s fact-filled commentary is our “Weekend reading guaranteed to make you smarter” recommendation.
The West Fertilizer Co. explosion in West, Texas last week put an exclamation point on the need for government safety regulations and enforcement. The "free market" philosophy of no regulations and the mythical honor system imposed by the market place gets people killed.
This company appears to have pushed the envelope to see how much it could get away with -- and due to lax regulations and enforcement by "business friendly" Texas regulatory agencies, it got away with qu...
Just last month the village idiot Aqua Buddha, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), led a filibuster against the notion of using drones on American soil. Wingnuttia went wild with "I Stand with Rand" hashtags on twitter, fund raising emails, and even a line of merchandize online. There was a brief "Paul bump" in Beltway media villager speculation about 2016.
So this is fun. On Monday, Aqua Buddha told FAUX News that he is down with using drones on American soil and using them to summar...
Amnesty. Comprehensive Immigration Reform. Whatever the incarnation, the numbers are not static. In addition to rolling out the red carpet to at least 25 million illegally in our country, are the issues of birthright citizenship and chain migration — affording relatives the ability to coattail. Criminality is as problematic as the exorbitant costs involved in providing education and social service benefits to those who disregard our laws. All developed nations have i...
Remember just a few weeks ago when the right-wing was all in a tizzy about the village idiot Aqua Buddha, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), and his filibuster of the nomination of John Brennan for CIA Director over the use of drones in the U.S.? There was a lot of highfalutin talk from these right-wingers about the constitutional rights of American citizens on American soil -- when they thought they were talking about far-right fringe groups like white supremacists, Christian nati...
Boston rejoiced after news of the capture of the Marathon bomber. It reminded me of the celebration after their beloved Red Sox won the 2004 World Series and ended the curse of the Bambino after 86 years. It's famously been said that "Boston cares about three things: sports, politics and revenge." These terrorists picked the wrong friggin' city! Video below the fold.
Police have announced Boston Marathon murder suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, is in custody. His brother, 26-year-old Tamerlan, was killed in a furious attempt to escape police. During a long night of violence Thursday into Friday, the brothers killed MIT police officer Sean Collier, 26, severely wounded another lawman and hurled explosives at police in a car chase and gun battle, in which at least 200 rounds were fired, authorities said.

Yesterday, April 18, marked the 108th day of 2013, or Tax Freedom Day — as calculated by the Tax Foundation. That is the day, four months into the year, when Americans have finally earned enough income to pay the tab for all federal, state, and local taxes for 2013. In the simplest of terms, that means you”ve been working from New Year’s Eve until mid-April just to pay your taxes. With that hard fact in mind, w...
WATERTOWN — A massive manhunt is underway this morning in Boston and several surrounding communities for one of the suspects in the Boston Marathon terror bombing attacks. A second suspect has died in a confrontation with police, while one police officer has been killed and another has been seri...
The FBI held a press conference this afternoon and released photos and video of two suspects the FBI wants more information on and to take into custody for questioning.
From the FBI (h/t Business Insider):
From the posters:
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is seeking information about the individual shown in the above surveillance photos which were taken near the bombing sites at the Boston Marathon on April 15, 2013.
I really hate doing breaking news stories because the media invariably gets so much wrong. While I checked multiple sources yesterday, even multiple sourcing proved to be wrong. Even Boston's police chief got it wrong in his first press conference.
Can we seat a Nuremberg Tribunal-style panel of judges now to hold the architects of illegal torture accountable for their crimes in the name of America? (Statutes of limitations do not apply to war crimes).
The New York Times today reports "A nonpartisan, independent review of interrogation and detention programs in the years after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks concludes that 'it is indisputable that the United States engaged in the practice of torture' and ...
More good people coming to do the work Americans refuse to do
In his revealing, must-read 2-page report, The Daily Caller’s Neil Munro details the “Many loopholes hidden in the immigration bill” being shepherded by Arizonans John McCain and Jeff Flake, doing Obama’s work in collusion with the Gang of 8 gangsters. McCain admits it’s “not that much different from what we tried to do in 2007.”
Munro’s exposé comes as the reality of the ongoing criminality of those who will...
Fox News is reporting that at least three people are dead and more than 130 injured – including up to 10 with amputated limbs — after two explosions rocked the area near the finish line of the Boston Marathon. One of the dead is an 8-year-old child.
More here including live coverage of this unthinkable disaster perpetrated by cowards.
Infanticide trial ignored: ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC have given zero coverage
Kirsten Powers, a self identified liberal, rightly says, “This clearly should be national news. Liberals want government regulation of every single thing — air, water, animals, (inaudible), banks, you name it” — and, she admits, “I put myself in that category. But they have this one little area where they say ‘no government regulation.’ It doesn’t make any sense, and I think we need to examine that....
What would McCain consider as next step in ”curbing violence?”
As John McCain aims to restrict Second Amendment rights in the wake of the Newtown shooting tragedy, the Obama regime is buying up billions of rounds of bullets, to guard against law abiding citizens being able to possess firearms that function.
Yet the most recent attack that seriously wounded at least 14 people — two remain in critical condition — was carried out by a knife wielding perpetrator.
AZ Gov. Jan Brewer, working in ever-closer alignment with her McCain cabalian advisors, is shining the light on what she calls “one of the most horrendous crimes against humanity” – human trafficking. Brewer has formed a task force to combat “a form of modern-day slavery where people profit from the control and exploitation of others.”
Take a look at the names of those appointed to this ludicrous task force. It’s a veritable ‘Wh...
Democrat Ann Kirkpatrick (CD1) is increasing her vulnerability as the midterm elections approach. Previously ousted by district voters, she was given another bite at the congressional apple after redistricting changed the parameters. Now taking the Obama administration’s hard-line on curtailing gun ownership by way of imposition of increasingly rigid regulations, Kirkpatrick risks alienating rural Arizona voters who comprise solid portions of the First Congressional District. Many rural voters...
