Knowledge is Good

The incomparable Ben Stein is one of my colleagues at The American Spectator. Although I have seen him at AmSpec events, I don’t know him personally. But I wish I did. He seems to be a very nice and amiable man, and his articles are always insightful and entertaining. Here is an excerpt from his latest AmSpec article titled “Prosecutorial Bolshevism” (linked to here) in which he discusses the virtually unchecked power of federal and elected county prosecutors to ruin lives and careers: At any point the prosecutors can issue indictments for crimes, real or imagined, felonies or misdemeanors based […]

Monday evening I learned of President Trump’s RICO indictment in Georgia. The indictment is massive and charges Trump and 18 co-defendants with 13 felonies and alleges 161 acts in furtherance of a “conspiracy” to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election in Georgia. My initial reaction was one of exhaustion. I knew that, sooner or later, I was going to have to read and analyze the indictment. But it was late, and I was tired. So I decided to wait until morning to look it over. I climbed into bed and promptly fell asleep. Then sometime in the night […]

Yesterday The American Spectator published my article about Attorney General Merrick Garland’s appointment of Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss to be the Special Counsel in charge of the investigation of Hunter Biden. The article is below. David Weiss: A Not So Special Counsel – The American Spectator | USA News and Politics In an utterly gobsmacking display of cynicism and contempt for our intelligence, Attorney General Merrick Garland has conferred Special Counsel status on Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss. This move comes five years after Weiss started investigating Hunter Biden. According to Garland, Weiss advised last week that “his investigation has reached […]

“To be a Virginian, either by birth, adoption, or even on one’s Mother’s side, is an introduction to any state in the union, passport to any foreign country, and a benediction from the Almighty God.” Anonymous, date unknown My wife and I have been blessed with three wonderful daughters, all of whom are married to fine men and have wonderful children of their own. Years ago our oldest daughter graduated from Sweet Briar, a women’s college in southern Virginia. She is married to the boy who courted her while she was there and he was a student at Hampden-Sydney College, […]

I’ve been reading and watching with great interest the media commentaries by law school professors and legal scholars about the election fraud indictment of Donald Trump. While their analyses of the legal issues have been most informative, I decided it was time for the public to get a trial lawyer’s perspective on the challenges facing Trump as he navigates his way through the procedural minefield waiting for him in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. Yesterday The American Spectator published the first in a series of articles giving my grunt-level estimate of the situation. Here it […]

Here’s my latest article which ran in yesterday’s The American Spectator. It has caused a bit of a stir online with a great deal of comment pro and con. I was up against a very short deadline when I banged this out. The section dealing with conspiracy to defraud the government needs refinement which I will provide in a follow up article. But, for now, here’s my quick take on the election fraud indictment of Donald Trump. Trump’s Third Indictment Is Ludicrous – The American Spectator | USA News and Politics George Parry Under the brave new theory of criminal […]

This week I was privileged to appear twice on AM560 Chicago’s Morning Answer with hosts Dan Proft and Amy Jacobson. The first interview dealt with Hunter Biden and President Trump’s legal situations. It was on Monday before the unsealing of Trump’s latest indictment for conspiring to overturn the 2020 election results. When that indictment was made public, I received a late Tuesday night email from Dan and Amy’s producer requesting that I do an interview early the following morning to discuss the charges. As a result, I did my second appearance this morning. I was still thumbing through the 45 […]

Yesterday The American Spectator published my article analyzing how Hunter Biden’s plea deal with the Department of Justice fell apart under questioning by a federal judge. Here it is. Broken Plea Deal Exposes Fast Times at the DOJ – The American Spectator | USA News and Politics George Parry Last week, Hunter Biden’s proposed sweetheart plea deal was put on hold in a Wilmington courtroom by a vigilant federal judge who questioned its irregular and unprecedented provisions. In fact, that deal was and remains a scam concocted by Biden’s legal team and Attorney General Merrick Garland’s corrupt RICO enterprise operating […]

Two days ago Hunter Biden and his lawyers went before a federal judge in Wilmington, Delaware to enter a guilty plea for no prison time on two misdemeanor tax charges. It was supposed to be a simple in and out proceeding. But the judge caught them and the corrupt Department of Justice trying to pull a fast one by, at the last minute, including a grant of blanket immunity to Biden for all possible crimes that he might have committed separate and apart from the charges to which he was pleading. That would include, but not be limited to, his […]

Pictured above is billionaire oligarch George Soros, the man who has sabotaged and paralyzed criminal justice across America by installing progressive district attorneys in our major cities. When I was researching the events that led up to the war in Ukraine, I was surprised to learn that Soros is also the architect of the strategy being used by NATO to fight that war. As you will see below, that strategy boils down to NATO supplies the weapons while Ukraine provides the soldiers to do the bleeding and dying. Here’s my latest article about the war which ran yesterday in The […]

Yesterday The American Spectator published my article about the war in Ukraine. It is the first in what I plan to be a series about the war, what our government is trying to accomplish by funding and arming the Ukrainian military, and the possible ties between our official policy regarding Ukraine and the nefarious financial dealings by the Biden family in that country. When Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, I knew almost nothing about the history of that region and what led up to the invasion. I assumed that President Putin was trying to complete Russia’s annexation of Ukraine […]

Today I was privileged to appear on Chicago’s Morning Answer AM560 with hosts Dan Proft and Amy Jacobson. The topics were Special Counsel John Durham’s Report, his testimony before the House Judiciary Committee, and Hunter Biden’s sweetheart plea deal. You can hear the segment by clicking on the following image.

Donald Trump meet Joe McGuiness. In 1875 Joseph P. McGuiness was born in County Roscommon, Ireland. When he was a young man, he emigrated to the United States but then returned to Ireland in 1902. He took up residence in Dublin and became active in the Irish nationalist movement. In 1913 he joined the Irish Volunteer Army, a militia established by Irish republicans. His wife, Katherine, was a member of the Cumman na mBan, an Irish republican women’s paramilitary organization. By 1916 McGuiness had risen to the rank of lieutenant in “C” company, 1st battalion of the Volunteers. In the […]

Following the death of George Floyd in 2020, Black Lives Matter received over $90 million from corporate America and other donors. Now comes word that for the 2022 tax year the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation ran an $8.5 million deficit and incurred a nearly $10 million decrease in the value of its investment accounts. Reportedly, BLM has “blown through” two-thirds of the $90 million. This news came after BLM was required to shut down its online fundraising due to compliance and transparency issues in several states. Reportedly BLM spent approximately $12 million on luxury homes in Los Angeles […]
