Sarah Cooper for President
I know that she has a permanent place in the For You section on TikTok. But look at and listen to the above video. It is stering. It is a pristine piece of political humor that sends home the idea of how the State is overbearing. When it comes to private companies, Trump should play no role except to protect the rights of the individuals associated with those companies with American employees. Sarah nails the spirit and the bluster of the predident in this clip like visual-audio shadow. But the video clearly demonstrates just how clueless the president is on these matters. Sarah displays the witlessness of the leader of the semi-free world. Her videos go viral once they hit the ‘Net. There are tons of videos that might have a reason to be featured in this piece, but I can’t think of anyone more worthy of increased attention than Sarah Cooper.

Reason First: Fresh Flesh-Serial Killer Ed Gein
Hollywood has made Ed Gein quite the source material for a number of films including Psycho (1960), the original The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) and The Silence of the Lambs (1991) to name just a few. What would make writers, directors and producers so interested in this homicidal maniac? One would have to start with the fact that he transitioned.

Reason First: How to Tame a Mad Dog-Serial Killer Jospeh Taborsky
When you’re one of the very few people to be sentenced to life twice, your system of values must’ve been in serious disarray, to say the least. Joseph “Mad Dog” Taborsky plagued the state of Connecticut with his robberies and murders. He even committed a crime with his brother Albert, who had been committed to a psychiatric ward. This action led to Mad Dog’s sentence to be reduced and he exited death row and claimed that he would keep his nose clean.

Reason First: Serial Killer Joe Ball the ‘Gator King’
When a Texas Ranger named Lee Miller investigated the disappearance of Hazel “Schatzie” Brown, the downfall of serial killer Joe Ball became set into motion. Ball had run a bar after being a bootlegger during Prohibition. He gained fame for his penchant to hold alligators in a tank and to throw live cats and dogs into the pool for the thrills of the patrons in the late 1930’s Texas.

Reason First: The Serial Killer Albert Fish
Upon the occasion of your execution you say that it would be “the supreme thrill of [your] life,” then that points to a vicious, horrific excuse for a human being. That man who said that was Albert Fish. He liked to abuse young boys and girls. This monster even ate the flesh of several children for the thrill of the meal. This sick person then committed self-harm through flogging, burning himself, and sticking metal pins through his genitals.

The Forever Iconic Duo of Liberty and Justice
As we stood for the pledge every school day, some with hands over hearts, the last part of the Pledge of Allegiance is what sticks in the mind. “...Liberty and justice…” remain the two pieces that weave the fabric of this great nation together. Though long sought after and fought over, these two ideals continue to be the iconic duo that permeates through American culture.

Reason First: Serial Killer Amy Archer-Gilligan
Arsenic seems like the go-to crime weapon when it comes to these serial killer cases. And another woman cropped up in the case which happened in Windsor, Connecticut from 1911-1916. Amy Archer-Gilligan poisoned at least ten people a year.

Reason First: Serial Killer Belle Gunness
If there is one overarching theme to these killer stories it’s insurance money. Not to blame the money as the motive to murder people, instead the money was just a conceptual scapegoat to go along with the treacherous deeds of these shady figures. Belle Gunness of La Porte, Indiana was one such figure.

Reason First: Death and Potions- The Serial Killer Herman Billick
Herman Billick received a life sentence despite there being no evidence that he held arsenic amongst his possessions. This came about after the judge commuted the death sentence after several stays. The root of all of this? Billick befriended a man named Martin Vzral, a milk tycoon, who prided himself as a successful businessman. Meanwhile, Bellick roamed about as a ne’er-do-well and a schemer. He offered love potions and even claimed to be a “Cardreader and Seer” according to cards that he had printed.

Reason First: The Triple H Murderer- Dr.Henry Howard Holmes
When you enjoy the screams of your victims dying in agony, there just might be a problem. With Dr. Henry Howard Holmes, his way of dispatching with some of those people who fell prey to his Chicago “castle” should be condemned for all of history.

Reason First- The Murderous Johann Otto Hoch
Sometimes there’s just enough room to marry multiple wives, kill at least one of them officially, and be suspected of murdering more than 50 others. Johann Otto Hoch did just that. Thanks to the scapegoat known as money, it would appear as if Hoch was a “selfish,” “greedy”, and an money-grubbing bastard. In fact, he was a scared, selfless swindler and murderer.
