This makes me see red

  Divemedic reports that he can’t get his credit card company to cancel a false charge to his account, even though he never spent the money or authorized it. The reason that the charges were considered valid, according to the woman on the phone, is that I provided no supporting documentation, and the merchant did… Continue reading This makes me see red

Be careful when researching your new home – the data may be deliberately incomplete

  If you’re looking to buy a home, and you research various cities and neighborhoods to determine what might be a good fit for you and your family, be advised that complete information may no longer be presented to you – thanks to political correctness. Realtor.com has removed crime data from its website, and Redfin… Continue reading Be careful when researching your new home – the data may be deliberately incomplete

An illegal alien invasion, aided, abetted and sponsored by our own government

  In case you thought the border crisis had eased any, be aware that it’s worse than ever.  Three independent reports bear this out. Let’s start with Michael Yon: Texas National Guard may as well be working for smuggling cartels. Cartel Coyotes hand off these invaders to TNG, to Texas law enforcement, and they end… Continue reading An illegal alien invasion, aided, abetted and sponsored by our own government

An Android solution to locating snoopers’ AirTags?

  Yesterday I mentioned how urban criminals were beginning to use Apple AirTags to target vehicles they wanted to steal, or people they wanted to follow.  They use the signal from the AirTag to locate the homes of the prey they’ve selected.  I noted that those using Apple smartphones could locate AirTags near them, but… Continue reading An Android solution to locating snoopers’ AirTags?

“Follow-home robberies” – a new security threat

  It seems that big-city criminals have a new technique that’s causing problems to police and residents. Los Angeles police are … warning residents of the continuing trend of follow-home robberies. Suspects in follow-home robberies target victims in affluent areas of Los Angeles, follow them until they are in a remote area and rob them.… Continue reading “Follow-home robberies” – a new security threat

“The ultra-violent cult that became a global mafia”

  That’s how the BBC headlines an article about Nigeria’s “Black Axe” criminal fraternity, which has spread worldwide and – if the report is to be believed – rivals the Sicilian/Italian Mafia or Japan’s Yakuza as an umbrella organization for crime and violence.  The article is very long, and contains (in my opinion) more hype… Continue reading “The ultra-violent cult that became a global mafia”

More about the crime wave in progressive cities

  A few days ago I wrote an article titled “The crime wave as a precursor to civil war“.  In the light of that article, I thought this one by Leighton Woodhouse made interesting reading, particularly because the author admits he’s a progressive rather than a conservative. My wife and I are scrambling to find… Continue reading More about the crime wave in progressive cities

So much for legalizing marijuana…

  I have to laugh at the current mess in the California marijuana “industry”.  Citizens there voted to legalize marijuana, and the state set up a structured “industry” – complete with taxes, etc.  Trouble is, they taxed it too heavily. Two and a half centuries after the Boston Tea Party, legal cannabis operators say it… Continue reading So much for legalizing marijuana…

The crime wave as a precursor to civil war

  Yesterday I put up a video clip of Ken Hackathorn.  I titled it “Staying alive in today’s urban crime and unrest“.  It wasn’t comforting viewing, to put it mildly. Michael Yon sees the burgeoning crime wave in more sinister terms. Civil War is not yet obvious to everyone. My estimate is civil war is… Continue reading The crime wave as a precursor to civil war
