Citizen Writers Fighting Censorship by Helping Americans Understand Issues Affecting the Republic.

Our great nation’s third oldest continuously published daily newspaper, The Philadelphia Inquirer, hasn’t exactly been silent on the murder of William “Billy” Schmidt, but hasn’t spent a lot of time on the case, either. 2 teens sought in shooting death of Penn State student in South Philly Police obtained arrest warrants for Kaiseem Smith and …
My Twitter — I still refuse to call it đ — feed today has been filled with the lamentations of our good friends on the left over the resignation of Sir Keir Starmer as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. They keep telling us what a good and noble and kind man he is. Well …
At what point should the District Attorney himself be disbarred? It seems as though I wrote too soon. Yes, the previous article, Larry Krasner gets bitch-slapped by the state Supreme Court, remains accurate and valid, but just this morning, only a few hours after the previous post was published on the American Free News Network, …
We have frequently criticized Philadelphia’s George Soros-sponsored, criminal-loving and police-hating District Attorney, Larry Krasner, a former criminal defense attorney, but hey, this is just an evil, reich-wing source, so our criticisms can be simply written off as just more evil, conservative hate, right? But what if some of that criticism comes from the Pennsylvania Supreme …
I will admit that it’s truly baffling to me that the northeast, the most politically liberal area of our country, is also our most heavily Catholic region, yet our good friends on the left love to spend their time bashing Catholics. It kind of makes me wonder just how actually Catholic they are. Our 46th …
My good friend Jefferyš, whether under that name, or his subsequently adopted screen names of Jethro Bodine or, currently, Elwood P Dowd, on William Teach’s fine site, The Pirate’s Cove, once made a claim, “The truth has a liberal bias,” sometimes expressed as “The facts have a liberal bias,” something I have seen elsewhere. It …
I raised, in our after-Mass Bible study group — contrary to some Protestant claims, Catholics actually do read the Bible! — a theological question: can God, who is omniscient, learn? My question was inspired by this: God, being all powerful, cannot be hurt, but by taking human form, Jesus suffered the agony of the crucifixion, …
Apparently, at least in liberal-speak, if you are a member of an Accredited Victim Groupâ˘, you do not have to do anything really radical like obey the law or behave like a civilized human being. The City of Brotherly Love — a pretty appropriate nickname right now — has gone all out on the homosexual …
The Washington Post, one of our nation’s truly great newspapers, a national newspaper of record as far as the Federal Government is concerned, and the exposers of the Watergate coverup, has once again struck bigly with a major, major, yuge scoop. Another Pulitzer Prize is almost certainly headed their way. The hair-loss drug Trump took …
In the 1960s, I was the boy who was embarrassed about growing up without a father in small-town Mt Sterling, Kentucky. Divorce was far less common at the time, and all of the kids I knew in Mt Sterling Elementary School had fathers, or at least the ones about whom I knew anything about their …
The Philadelphia Inquirer’s communist, oops, sorry, columnist Will Bunch frequently shades the truth, slanting it as far left as he possibly can, but there’s a difference between shading the truth and lying through his scummy teeth. Mikie Sherrillâs state police riot in Newark is a national disgrace New Jersey state troopers meant to protect Newark …
Governor Tim Walz (D-MN), whom we are very, very fortunate is not Vice President of the United States, in his eagerness to protect illegal immigrants, goes out of his way to pardon an illegal with a past felony conviction, to try to keep him from being deported. From the New York Post: Tim Walz pardons …
In a move reminiscent of Democratic congressional candidate Amy McGrath Hnderson being caught on tape, fund raising in Massachusetts for a congressional seat in the Bluegrass State, saying âI am further left, I am more progressive, than anyone in the state of Kentucky,â Texas Democratic Senate nominee was caught on tape saying, in a 2022 …
When the sex abuse scandal involving Catholic priests became major news, I was seriously concerned about the widely-spreading stereotype of all priests being perverts. While the John Jay Report, The Nature and Scope of Sexual Abuse of Minors by Catholic Priests and Deacons in the United States 1950-2002 documented that the problem was limited to …
To the surprise of absolutely no one, it seems that there were warning signs known to the police about Caleb Vazquez, one of the killers in the San Diego mosque shooting. From London’s left-wing The Guardian: One of shooters in deadly attack at San Diego mosque was previously flagged by FBI Officials seized guns from …
There’s some silliness in Earl Ofari Hutchinson’s concluding statement about the San Diego mosque killings: (Cain) Clark and (Caleb) Vazquezâs hideous rampage almost certainly would have been treated as a murder, charges if they had lived. But in the hands of the Trump DOJ they may well not have been slapped with federal hate crime …
The First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States specifies: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of …
My website, The First Street Journal, maintains a Stylebook of its own devise. It includes: Those who claim to be transgender will be referred to with the names, honorifics, and pronouns appropriate to the sex of their birth; the site owner does not agree with the cockamamie notion that anyone can simply âidentifyâ with a …
In an identically titled article, I noted that the federal workforce in the Philadelphia metropolitan area had significantly through now-former employees voluntarily leaving on their own. At least some of them wouldn’t have left if Kamala Harris Emhoff had won the election, but it is nevertheless great news: Since January 2025, the federal government has …
Our good friends on the left, who have been so supportive of the Fourteenth Amendment’s provision that “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside” must grant automatic citizenship to the “anchor babies” of people …
