WHY ?

-

  Recently, I heard that Khalid Shiekh Mohammed will finally face justice in a military tribunal, which should have been done long ago. On this eighteenth anniversary of September 11th I have a question. Why is a man who was directly responsible for the deaths of 3,000 innocent people still breathing? Osama Bin Laden financed and helped plan the attack but this man, more than anyone else, did the actual leg work in carrying it out. We spent years looking for Bin Laden and when we found him we killed him. This man, however; has been in our possession since March of 2003, and actually confessed to his crime in March of 2007. Yet, I would venture to guess, because of so little attention paid to him in the press, that most Americans could not tell you who he is. As far as war criminals go, he is right up there with Heinrich Himmler, Martin Bormann, Adolph Eichmann, and Herman Goering. Both George W. Bush and Barack Obama had their chance to try this man but neither men did. Hopefully Trump will finally do the job that his predecessors have failed to do. Only in America can a man avoid the justice that has been coming to him for so long.

Jayne Mansfield   Jayne Mansfield died way too young on June 29, 1967 at the age of 34 in a gruesome car wreck, She was killed instantly but contrary to urban legend she was not decapitated. Jayne was called the poor man's Marilyn Monroe. She had enjoyed about a four year stint of popularity on Broadway and in Hollywood from 1954 until 1958. Her career was in decline in the late 50's and early 60's but she was still popular in Europe and on the nightclub circuit. She took her last name from her high school sweetheart Paul Mansfield when she married him at the age of seventeen. Her second husband was a former Mr. Universe named Mickey Hargitay who was from Norway. The third and last husband was Matt Cimber. Mansfield was highly educated, attending Southern Methodist University, the University of Texas and U.C.L.A. She supposedly had an IQ of 163 and was called the smartest dumb blonde ever. Of course she couldn't be too smart. In 1966, a year before her death, while

CHARLIE PARKHURST

  Charlie Parkhurst aka One-eyed Charlie, Cockeyed Charlie, or Six Horse Charlie was born in 1812 in Vermont. Eventually he made his way out west to California where he became a teamster and one of the most skilled stagecoach drivers in history. He was small in stature but tough. Shortly after becoming a stagecoach driver for the California Stage Company he was kicked in the face by a horse and blinded in one eye. Charlie began his reputation as a tough driver when a robber named "Sugarfoot" held up his stage one day. Taken by surprise his only option was to give up his strong box. Six months later the Sugarfoot hit him again but Charlie was prepared this time. He blew him away with a shotgun at point blank range. Without blinking his good eye he rode off at a full gallop leaving the robber dead in the road.   He was an expert shot and an expert with a bull whip. Charlie could cut a cigar in half at fifteen paces while a man held it in his mouth. On one occasion he rolle
