Why Can't We Control The Gangs?

Gang related murders are on the rise in every large city in America with new records for the slaughter of innocents being set on almost a daily basis in cities like Oakland, Long beach, Los Angles, Newark, Chicago, Oklahoma City and Washington DC. The question I would like to ask the politicians on both side of the isle is this. Why is it that we were able to eliminate the powerful and well organized Mafia in a relatively short period of time, but cannot deal with the low IQ uneducated misfits who, for all practical purposes, control the streets of almost every large city in America? Just why is this? There can be only one answer to this question. We, as a society, refuse to deal with root causes of inner city crime! First, let's be clear about one thing, it's not the guns or the drugs that are the problem. No, the mafia had plenty of guns and the mob was involved in every illegal activity imaginable including extortion, illegal gambling, drug dealing, prostitution, the illegal sale of liquor during prohibition and, last but not least, the wholesale bribery of corrupt politicians. The mafia also was much better organized than are the street gangs of today. Yet, despite the magnitude of the problem posed by the mob, the FBI was able to eliminate them and their illegal activities in a few short years. There is no doubt in my mind that gang related crime could be greatly curtailed, if not eliminated entirely, if local and federal politicians had the will to do so. Just how hard would it be to free our streets of criminals who brazenly wear clothing that identifies them as members of a specific lawless gang? I ask again, why don't we lock up these gang-banger and throw away the key? When all is said and done it all comes down to race. The vast majority of street gang criminals are either of Black, Chicano or of Asian descent. Sure there are Caucasian gangs in America, but they are not responsible for the high murder rates in Oakland, Chicago or Washington DC. More importantly, there would be little or no resistance to any program designed to eliminate Caucasian gangs just as there was no resistance to the wide ranging policies that helped us rid ourselves of the mob. The problem is, that to control the members of White gangs, we would have to step on the toes of minority gang members and that, of course, is politically unacceptable. Whether we like it or not, in today's America members of minority groups are in a protected class which makes it difficult or impossible to enforce any policy that could be seen as being the slightest bit raciest. The ACLU would go berserk if congress tried to pass a law like the RICO act (that was enacted to curtail mob activities in 1970) that was designed specifically to curtail the unlawful activities of any minority segment of our population, especially if that group is primarily made up of Blacks or Chicanos. No way Jose, is that ever going to happen in a million years in twenty-first century America. What should be done to stop the carnage? First, all gang related criminal activity should come under the jurisdiction of the federal government and all gang related offenders should be tried in a federal court. If convicted, gang bangers should sent to a federal penitentiary for a minimum of ten years with no time off for, so called, good behavior. If guns are involved in their criminal activity, they should be imprisoned for life with no possibility of parole. Second, if one member of a gang commits a crime (like a drive by shooting) all members of the gang should be treated as accessories to the crime; they should be tried as a group; and again, if convicted, receive the same sentence as the perpetrator of the crime. Finally, all gang members over the age of 14 should be tried as adults, no exceptions. Admittedly, our present laws would have to be tweaked a bit to implement new anti-gang measures such as this, but we were willing to change our laws in our war against the mafia and there is no reason not to do so again as we engage, for the first time, in a meaningful effort to free the streets of our inner cities from gang related violence. Unfortunately, this is all pie in the sky! Nothing of significance will be done and the killings will go on and on and on. The politicians will wring their collective hands and continue to throw money at programs like head start which have no positive effect other than to make the politicos and their liberal supporters feel good. In the meantime, the senseless slaughter of the innocent men, women and children of color in our inner cities will continue as civil society slowly crumbles before our very eyes.

The Tail Of Two Cities.

When I was a child some 70 years ago, my Aunt Dot and Uncle Herb Lived in the Oakland hills. For those of you who, thanks to the Internet, may be reading this blog from a faraway land, Oakland lies across the bay from San Francisco. In any case, in those days Oakland was an idyllic paradise much the same as San Francisco, but with a far better climate (milder temperatures and no fog). My Aunt and Uncle's home was located high in the Oakland Hills with a view of the south bay to die for. The sight from their large kitchen picture window was particularly spectacular at night when the twinkling lights from the city below extended as far as the eye could see. The middle class homes on Maxwell Avenue were immaculately maintained with tree lined sidewalks and beautiful green lawns. This town was middle class America at its best. At that time, in the 1940s, Oakland's downtown was a thriving center of commerce that would be the envy of any large city today with beautiful theaters, magnificent retail stores and a thriving automobile row that extended for 10 to 12 blocks along North Broadway. Today, much of Oakland is a waste land and stands out, only in a negative way, as the murder capital of California. Before long it may rival Chicago as the murder capital of USA. More than half of Oakland's young black males are either in prison or on parole. Nearly every store front along Broadway is boarded up and auto row is a thing of the distant past. The few business offices that have survived the cities destruction are confined to a couple of high-rises protected by armed guards and surrounded by homeless people who live in, what for all practical purposes, is a third world country. The beautiful residential area where my aunt and Uncle lived in when I was a child is now surrounded by crime ridden slums. High street is now Low Street. What went wrong? How did this atrocity happen? I expect there is more than one reason for destruction of this once beautiful city by the bay, but one event stands out in my mind as more important than all others. In the early part of the last century there was an unwritten rule in Oakland, Blacks were not allowed to own property on the east side of East 14th Street. Yes, this was segregation at its worst but, guess what, it worked for many years! Sometime in the early 1940's this voluntary mandate, enforced by white property owners in the Oakland hills, began to crack as the first blacks crossed East 14th street and began to invade the Oakland hills. Within 20 years the Caucasians, who had made their homes in this beautiful part of the city for generations, had abandoned ship and headed through the Caldecott tunnel to the suburbs along the 680 corridor east Of the Oakland hills. The rest of the story is history. The fact that blacks finally broke the color barrier and gained access to White Oakland was not, however, what brought Oakland to its collective knees. No, not by a long shot, that honor rests squarely on the shoulders of Lyndon Baines Johnson and his infamous Great Society which promised equal justice and equal opportunity for all Americans. Unfortunately, the welfare state constructed by Johnson and his liberal supporters had the opposite effect because their socialist policies supporting welfare mothers destroyed, in a matter of a few short years, the fabric of the black family. When all was said and done, the Blacks in America survived slavery, or at least out lasted it, but they could not overcome Johnson's attempts to right the wrongs inflicted on their far distant ancestors by confederate slave owners who had died hundreds of years before. The fact that over 300,000 northern soldiers lost their lives in the great civil war fighting to free the slaves is of no consequence to modern day Blacks or, for that matter, their new liberal masters. The single parent families fostered by well meaning, but demented, liberals like Johnson, were no match for the pimps, drug dealers and other low-lives who soon came to control every facet of street life in Oakland as they did in every other American city that was run by Black liberal politicians. Things have gotten so bad in Detroit that they dismantling the city brick by brick and returning the land to nature. Alas, even the best efforts of Black grandmothers and their Black church leaders were no match for the chaos that occurred when Johnson's economic policies drove the Black bread winners from their families and turned their children loose on the crime ridden streets of Black America.. What can be done to turn this sinking ship around? In truth, I think nothing! The wonderful shinning city by the bay that was Oakland is gone forever and the new lawless poverty stricken Oakland is here to stay! I am glad my Aunt and Uncle, who were diehard liberals, did not live to see the Oakland of today.

An Immigration Reform We All Can Agree On.

When all is said and done, I do not believe in any more immigration, legal or illegal. After all, we already have 313,914,040 people in this country, more than enough, tens of millions more than enough! There are over 7000 so called institutions of higher learning in the USA and if they can't turn out enough engineers to fill the needs of the hi-tech America, we should concentrate on the overpaid incompetents that run these places rather than relying on the colleges in China and India to fill our needs. As I have discussed at great length in some of my previous blogs, we also do not need a single more illegal from South America to meet our agricultural needs. All we have to do to solve this problem is to force the low-lives on welfare and those on extended unemployment who can work to go to work. It's as simple as that! But, of course, there is no place in today's America for common sense answers to issues like the soaring national debt or immigration reform. But there is one immigration reform that is long overdue that we should be able to agree on. That is immediate repeal of Section 1 of the Constitution's 14th Amendment. This amendment, which made every person born in the USA an automatic citizen of the country, was passed during reconstruction to assure that black children born to salves were made citizens of the country. It was not the purpose of this Amendment to give automatic citizenship to children of illegal's who gave birth while trespassing on US soil. One could write a book on the legal implications of these anchor babies and the problems they cause society, none of which are good for America. However, we all should be able to agree that there is no justification for Section 1 of the 14th Amendment of the constitution in today's America, none at all! In this respect, it is of interest to note that birthright citizenship for the children of illegal's has been rescinded by Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, the United Kingdom and even, God help us, socialist France. It's time we got with the program! Eliminating anchor babies will not solve all of our immigration problems but it will be a baby step in the right direction.

The Liberal Biased Free Press.

I read our local liberal rag, The Contra Costa Slimes, religiously just to keep abreast of the communist activity in our area. The stupidity and naivety of this newspaper's editorial staff never ceases to amaze me. I could write a blog about the editorials these clowns create every day for the next year and not begin to scratch the surface of the misinformation and outright lies that are propagated daily in the editorial pages of this newspaper. Today, however, I want to take these liberal bastards to task for something they did not chose to cover in their tabloid. The annual Walk of Life, commemorating the 40th university of the dreadful Roe vs. Wade decision, took place in San Francisco on January 26 of this year. An estimated 40,000 people of all ages and racial ethnicities participated in this event. Amazingly at it may seem to those of us who oppose infanticide, the event was completely ignored by the Contra Costa Slimes. It was as if an event that drew 40,000 protestors never even happened. I am sure the Slimes can come up with a number of excuses for their decision not to cover an event of this magnitude. Maybe all their reporters called in sick that day. Alternately, maybe, in the view of the Slimes, a protest that does not result in millions of dollars in property damage or a killing or two, does not deserve attention from the press. Whatever the reason, rest assured that the liberal bias demonstrated by the papers refusal to cover the Walk of Life march for moral sanity did not go unnoticed by the few conservatives and people of faith who remain in the bay area. One last thing while I am on the subject of the liberal bias of the local press. The under informed members of the Slimes editorial board spend a great deal of time nit-picking the policies of the liberals who control every aspect of our lives in the now, not so great, state of California. They rail against Governor Brown's train to nowhere; they scold the liberal politicos who support the corrupt leaders of our public employee unions and their unsustainable retirement programs; and they routinely criticize the decisions made by our incompetent brain dead school administrators. Yet, come election time, the Slimes editorial board supports every liberal Demoratic candidate on the ballot (yes, this in not a miss spelling, I meant to say Demoratic). You see, when all is said and done, the editorial board at the Slimes do seem know right from wrong. At crunch time, however, they just can't bring themselves to do the right thing, no matter how hard they try.

Excerpt 2 from TRAPPED

Six Three months went by like a flash, and before Jose knew it his beard, which had once been heavy and course, began miraculously to be less noticeable. In another three months it had nearly disappeared and he gave up shaving. He was delighted to find that he was forming small breasts. These new outcropping on his chest were a bit painful, especially to the touch, but this was of little or no concern to Jose who would put up with almost anything to have the breasts of a woman. There also was a marked change in his voice, it now had a high pitched feminine quality that pleased him to no end. In fact, Jose signed up for singing lessons and learned a few sexy songs that he later would incorporate into his striptease acts at the club. The most amassing thing of all, and what delighted him most, was the change in those awful male appendages between his now shapely female appearing legs. They were becoming smaller by the day. He measured his penis every week and it was now only an inch and a half long and no bigger around than a crayon. Jose knew, of course, that it would never go completely away, but it was much easier to live with than it had been before estrogen therapy and he was very thankful for that. Jose went to a local dress shop and bought a new wardrobe featuring the latest women's fashions. Dresses, underwear, stockings, bras, shoes, hats the whole shebang. His next stop was the expensive beauty solon on Havana's main boulevard where the hair dresser, who specialized in the latest hair styles , transformed his long black hair into flowing blond ringlets that covered his rather oversized masculine appearing ears. He also made an appointment with Miami's top beautician. She showed him how to apply makeup in ways that he could not have imagined. Jose walked out of her shop looking like a women who had just stepped out of a glamour magazine. Well, he might not have quite as beautiful as Christine Jorgensen, but pretty close. Seven It took some time, but after several weeks of practice, Jose learned how to walk like a woman and apply makeup in such a way that it would hide what little remained of his beard. It also took some time to learn how to arrange his dyed hair the way the hairdresser had done when he first visited her salon. But, the more Jose worked at it the better he got and after three weeks of practice he was ready for his first real test. Jose rang the doorbell and waited anxiously for his mother to answer the door. Maria opened the door and addressed the stranger standing at her apartment door. She obviously, didn't have a clue. "Oh, come on mama don't you recognize your own son, it's me, Jose." With that she fainted and he barely was able to catch his frail mother before she fell to the floor. He picked his mother up and carried her to the well worn yellow couch which had been a fixture in the small living room since she had first rented the apartment 15 years before. Jose wiped her forehead with a wet dishrag and she opened her eyes a few seconds later. She still didn't recognize her only child and Jose had to explain for a second time who he was. She stared at him in disbelief. The disbelief turned to a state of horror when her mind leapt back to the time when she had discovered him wearing her panties and bra 15 years ago. She came instantly to the realization that Dr. Alvarez had been dead wrong in his optimistic prognosis. Her son had not outgrown his condition. On the contrary, the sexual fantasy that afflicted her son had completely consumed every pore of his body and seemed to have invaded his very sole. Jose spent the next hour explaining what had happened to him over the past several months, including his consultations with the world famous psychiatrist Professor Miller at the University of Miami. She seemed to accept what he was telling her, but then, what other choice did she have but go along with his plans to change himself from a man into a woman. Thank God Alfredo is dead, she thought, he would certainly kill him with his bare hands, no doubt about that, none at all! Jose changed his name to Shalimar and got a job as a cocktail waitress at the El Pajaro. He could have made a lot more money as a hooker, but he was not, as yet, equipped to handle that occupation. Within six months the club's owner realized that he had a money maker on his hands and Senor Steelton gave him a chance to try out as a stripper. Shalimar was an instant success and within a few months became the clubs lead entertainer. She, he, worked hard and saved nearly every cent, socking it away in the local bank in anticipation of the surgery that would complete her transformation from the man she was to the woman she dreamed of becoming. Jose's mind was made up. If he couldn't get Dr Hasting to except him into the University of Minnesota's transsexual program, he would go to Denmark for the surgery, no matter how much it cost.

THE LOW-T SCAM

You can't turn on the TV or radio nowadays without seeing a commercial hawking some type of testosterone medication for men who are having problems in the bedroom. I spent most of my medical career treating men with prostate cancer and impotency and I want to share some of the things I learned about these two medical conditions with you in this blog. Early on in my quest to find a treatment for impotency, I discovered that most men who were suffering from erectile dysfunction had below normal levels of testosterone; however, the testosterone levels in impotent men were statistically no different from those, of the same age, that were not impotent. As it turned out most men over 55 years of age have low testosterone levels whether they were impotent or not. Most importantly, I determined that impotent men with low testosterone were not helped by testosterone supplementation irrespective of how the medication was administered. Testosterone is ineffective in the treatment of impotency because, in the vast majority of cases, erectile dysfunction is a result of vascular disease (reduced penile blood flow) and not low testosterone or any other form of hormonal imbalance. My studies showed that testosterone may increase a male's libido but it will not enhance his ability to achieve an erection. This was an extremely important observation because as males age their chances of developing prostate cancer increases with each passing year. Early on the cancer most often is slow growing, difficult to detect, and not of any significance to them. In fact, autopsy studies of males in their eighties, who died of non prostate related causes, have shown that 80% of them have undetected and asymptomatic foci of low grade cancer in their prostate glands. The significance of this finding, and why I am writing this blog, is that there is every reason to believe that the administration of testosterone to men with asymptomatic undetected prostate cancer will stimulate the growth of the cancer. I hasten to add that this belief is not supported by any study, that I am aware of, because no one in his right mind would give testosterone to a male with known prostate cancer. We do know, however, that eunuchs do not develop the malignancy, most likely because they do not have significant levels of testosterone. Thus, think twice before trying to solve your problems in the bedroom with over the counter testosterone preparations that have little or no chance of working and maybe potentially very harmful.

LETS KEEP OUR CHILDREN SAFE FROM DEMOCRAT GUN CARRYING LOONS!

Every time we have another school massacre the Demorats scream and holler about guns and demand that we pass stricter and stricter gun laws. However, as anyone with an IQ above 100 knows, guns do not kill people, people kill people. As a recent E-mailer pointed out, none of the recent mass murderers who carried out these horrendous events have been associated with the NRA or any other conservative group. Nope, they have all been liberal Demorats, every last one of them! Major Hasan, who gunned down killed 32 people at Fort Hood, was a registered Demorat. The two blood thirsty teenage killers at Columbine were too young to vote, but their parents were registered progressive liberal Demorats. The Virginia Tech. killer was a Registered Demorat. The Aurora Colorado mass murder was a registered Demorat who worked on Obama's campaign; was an lawless Occupy Wall Street participant; and a progressive liberal malcontent to boot. I think the message is clear, to keep our children safe, it's not the guns that we should be outlawing; rather, it is the liberal Demorats that we should be keeping a closer eye on. These people tend to be mentally unbalanced on good days and, on those not so good days, stark raving mad. There, of course, are just too many of them to lock up or confine in a mental institution. But we should be paying a lot more attention to these low-lives and a lot less attention to inanimate objects like guns. When all is said and done, it will not be the millions of lawful gun owners that bring this country to its collective knees. No, it will be the bleeding heart liberals who hate the Constitution, hate America, hate their very existence and will stop at nothing to force the rest of us into some type of socialist hell-hole utopia envisioned by their communist forefathers. Unfortunately, these self-serving misfits have the numbers on their side and, at this point in time, there is little we can do to stop them. Other than to stock pile guns and ammo that is! By the way Mable, our Founding Fathers didn't give us the Second Amendment so that we could put meat on our tables. No, these wise men gave us the right to bear arms so that we could defend ourselves against liberal tyrants like Barack Hussein Obama when they come to take away our God given rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness!
