Aspiring Rapper Update: 27 Years in Federal Prison for Sex Trafficking

You can’t spell Houston without “ho,” and Ariyon Jackson specialized in providing the supply to meet the demand: The judge responsible for sentencing a man who pled guilty to child sex trafficking called his crimes “horrific” but she also said she was “struggling over what the right sentence should be.” She ultimately sentenced Aryion Jackson, […]

Cruel and Unusual: Gay Activist Couple Allegedly Pimped Out Adopted Boys

When this arrest was first reported last August, I headlined my post “We Were Told This Would Never Happen,” because the media want us to believe that there is no such thing as a gay pedophile. The facts, however, disagree with the media. The U.S. Constitution forbids “cruel and unusual punishment,” but if Georgia officials […]

A Criminal History

The weird thing about the YouTube algorithm is its apparent randomness. Saturday night at dinner with my podcast partner John Hoge, I went off on a tangent about the bass riff on the 1966 Simon and Garfunkel hit, “A Hazy Shade of Winter” — something I picked up watching a YouTube video — and then […]

So this morning, when there was a televised press conference in Lansing about the massacre, I […]

Crime Reduction in Polk County, Florida

Say hello to 21-year-old Alex Michael Greene and, while you’re at it, go ahead and say good-bye, because Mr. Greene shuffled off this mortal coil yesterday in Polk County: Pandemonium took over on Winter Haven’s Havendale Boulevard at about 2 p.m. Monday when a suspect connected to last week’s mass shooting in Lakeland fled from […]

Crazy People Are Dangerous: Canadian Child Actor Dopehead Matricide Edition

Like most Canadians, Ryan Grantham looks harmless. He’s only 5-foot-2 and began appearing in movies and TV shows as a child. But despite his innocent appearance, Grantham is a deadly menace. Like most Canadians. It is probably not necessary for me to remind readers of my longtime advocacy of thermonuclear warfare against Canada, which I […]

The Long Overdue and Much Awaited Return of Aspiring Rapper Update

If it’s bad news that three men went missing in Detroit, is it good news when they are found? We report, you decide: Two missing rappers and their friend were found dead in an abandoned Michigan apartment building Thursday — nearly two weeks after they disappeared the night their gig was canceled. Investigators discovered the bodies […]
