Following the shootout amongst rival motorcycle gangs at a restaurant in Waco,TX, more than 170 gang members were arrested and placed under $1 million bond each. Somewhere, there must exist some entity more pathetic than a motorcycle gang. But then, maybe not.

Many of us view the Commission on Presidential Debates as little more than a front group shielding the Establishment from having direct fingerprints on the process. No doubt, behind the scenes the Establishment wields enormous influence and control at every stage of the nomination process. The...

The GOP national committee should know better than to allow former political hacks moderate a presidential debate. It is symptomatic of every foolish concession they make to the mainstream press. The GOP Establishment is comprised of laughable incompetents mimicking the Keystone Cops. Worse...

ABC News should replace George Stephanopoulos with a real television news journalist, Chelsea Clinton. She is free of bias and could hold a series of compelling interviews with Monica Lewinsky. Big ratings! Following that, Chelsea could do one-on-one interviews with Paula Jones, Kathleen...

As a child, I grew up watching television news being reported by men such as Walter Cronkite, David Brinkley, Chet Huntley, John Chancellor, Sam Donaldson and Irving R. Levine(think bowtie). Huntley and Brinkley, in particular, seemed to bring a sense of dignity to their work. There doesn't...

There are millions of Americans pretending to be offended who were never treated unjustly and know it. Victimhood is all the rage.

Self-serving excuses arouse skepticism: http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/2015/0517/Feds-face-conflicting-reports-of-object-striking-derailed-train

Mr. Engineer is trying to have it both ways. On the one hand, some say he has been cooperative, but when it comes to his own actions in moments before the crash, he remembers nothing. How convenient is that? His lack of candor is troubling. Over time, pieces of the puzzle may come together...

The public doesn't know much of anything because Mr. Engineer claims amnesia. The train wasn't remotely controlled. Acceleration comes from the hand of the engineer. The only person who benefits from this selective memory episode happens to be the person responsible for the train's safe...

Mr, Engineer will be pressed to explain why the train under his control was going 106mph in a zone rated at 50mph. Several of his passengers died in this accident. Mr. Engineer was at the helm, he will be expected to explain his conduct in the moments leading up to the crash. Maybe, if he...

Your speculation makes as much sense as most of what the media is offering. There are some oddball conspiracies popping up around this incident. Getting the actual facts of how and why this crash happened will squelch the silly stuff. However, the engineer is going to have to do better than...

The train wreck outside of Philadelphia last Tuesday remains a puzzle. The 32 year-old engineer was familiar with the route. Why had the train accelerated in the moments approaching the curve? It's going to be interesting to learn the facts of this deadly crash.

If one wants to experience adversarial relations with cops, travel through Mexico. US cops generally are as well behaved as Boy Scouts.

It counts if you were having expeditious thoughts at the moment of conception.

If there are , for example, one million interactions per day in the US between police and civilians, a small number of these interactions will go wrong. Same is true in interactions between cabbies and their fares, pizza delivery personnel getting robbed, a restaurant manager closing shop late...

Are expediters becoming extinct? No. I dare say most of us have successfully reproduced.

This act of kindness happened to be overheard: http://www.wkyt.com/wymt/home/headlines/Kentucky-State-Troopers-good-deed-goes-viral--303580991.html

Simply because a law exists doesn't mean it is fair, moral, correct, just, good or even necessary. A law exists, at least in democracies, because it enjoyed majority support among voting legislators at the moment of its passage, and in most cases was signed into law by the chief executive...

Compliance is still the better choice. There are approximately 1.6 millions law enforcement officers in the United States. Using an example of 1 million interactions per day between police and civilians, almost all interactions go without a violent exchange. Violence is the exception, but it...

Noncompliance leads to all kinds of difficulties. CDL truckdrivers know full well they must comply with law enforcement at many levels. An attitude of cooperation works wonders. Likewise, people on the streets know full well they must comply with requests from police. It is highly unlikely...
