An Award Winning Series on Guardianship
My investigative research has uncovered a major flaw in America’s court system. It has to do with how overburdened and underfunded courts deal with family disputes over what to do with an elderly Mom or Dad. A growing number of families, nationwide, have learned that once a family member turns to the courts for help their parent could be placed under an odious elder guardianship situation managed by total stranger. Families caught up in this system say it turned their aging parent’s final years into a nightmare. These are my findings about the system in one state.

My Latest Book Has Landed!
Check out the cool trailer for my latest book. Just click in the box above.
Thinking Outside The Crime and Justice Box is a compilation of some of my favorite and most thought provoking columns – with updates and new text. The book discusses today’s headline crime cases as well as crime and justice issues readers may not realize even existed. Compelling human stories at the core of crime are often the centerpiece of my columns and reading about stranger’s struggles can help readers better understand the dynamics surrounding crime, law enforcement and justice. Look, there is good and evil in the world and I figure it is my job to point it out.
The e-book is available here: – here. The hold-in-your-hand book is coming soon! Thanks to the kind folks at Creators Publishing.

Do We Really Need Hate Crime Laws?
Love and hate, the two most prevalent human emotions. Every human on the planet, save those afflicted with serious mental health issues, has experienced these feelings. They cannot be legislated and neither emotion is, in itself, considered to be a crime. It is what some people do with their hate that is the problem.
The eruption of hate into criminal behavior resulted in passage of a federal hate crimes law back in 1968.
History Matters and So Does Political Reality
Here we go again! In the aftermath of the mismanaged U.S. military pullout in Afghanistan calls to impeach the president, or demands for him to resign, are being heard daily.
Our republic cannot stand if lawmakers resort to undoing elections via impeachment every few years. If we, the electorate, are voting for undeserving or incompetent candidates then that is on us, and we need to reexamine how we chose who to vote for.
The Clock is Ticking on Ways to Fix the U.S. Election System
This column is not about relitigating the 2020 election. Joseph Biden is the duly certified U.S. President. Period. Now, let’s talk about the mess in which we find our election system. Let’s talk about voter fraud.
It does exist, claims to the contrary are incorrect. And discussions about voting integrity matter because we have about one year to decide how to avoid the confusion and controversy surrounding the 2020 election.
The Fentanyl Flood Into the US – Why Can’t We Make It Stop?
About eleven times every hour, about 250 times a day, an American citizen dies of a drug overdose. The most frequent culprit is fentanyl.
The most popular mode of delivery is fentanyl laced heroin, fentanyl mixed with cocaine or illegally produced OxyContin pain pills containing fentanyl. And it’s not just hard-core addicts who are dying.
To Better Serve and Protect Cops Need Some Relief
Calls for the blanket defunding of police are literally killing us. The proof is in the spike of homicides in cities that brutally cut their police budgets during the last year.
That said, it doesn’t mean that programs can’t be implemented to shift police priorities and share duties with other specialists, like mental health professionals, to respond to carefully screened 911 calls.
Once the Nation’s ‘Luv Guv’, Now He’s Radioactive
What is society to do with someone who has been investigated and found to have broken both federal and state laws by sexually harassing at least eleven different women?
Well, in the case of New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, the subject of a five-month long investigation by the state’s Attorney General, apparently the answer is: nothing.
