McSleight of hand works magical transformation

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.

Kirkpatrick, Barber: Will gun control backfire in rural AZ?

Saturday, April 6th, 2013

Formers meet to pile on Arpaio — again*

Thursday, March 28th, 2013

The effort to recall Sheriff Joe Arpaio has the potential to be deadly serious as evidenced by the negative impact on the public safety of Maricopa County citizens. But the news conference hastily assembled Wednesday, featuring a load of out of work “law enforcement officials,” provided much needed comic relief to the shaky endeavor.

Dedos Muertos?

Wednesday, January 26th, 2011

THE BORDER REPORT This State Department cable out of Wikileaks caught my eye. 51 FBI informants and 10 DEA “liaison officers” were murdered in Mexico between 2007-09. When we talk about American law enforcement in Mexico, we generally view the Americans as not being part of the game; for the most part, this has held [...]
