Political Speech by Public School Teachers
One place in which governments, and employers, can restrict speech is when the speaker is at work; no one reasonably holds that an employee could harm his employer through his at-work speech.
Dana Pico
What the government tells us isn’t what people actually see.
Once again, the Democrats are touting the great economy, telling us that wage increases are now running at a greater rate than inflation.
This Is What Happens When You Don’t Lock Up Criminals!
As we reported in this comment, the Philadelphia Police had identified the fourth suspect in the Five Points mass shooting, and gave that suspect, a 17-year-old juvenile, until Wednesday morning to surrender to police, or they would release his name and photo. He didn’t surrender, and federal marshals did what they said they’d do. …
The Democrats Really Hate Freedom of Speech!
There was, of course, plenty of freedom of speech exercised by the left when Mr Trump was in office. He was regularly hanged in effigy,
“Queer Advocates” Are Alarmed That Uncle Sam Isn’t Going to Pay for Their Kink Parties
Sad state of affairs when disordered people expect government taxes to promote their aberrant and disordered lifestyle.
Hold Them Accountable!
Larry Krasner is at least indirectly responsible for Dayemen Taylor’s murder. The only question is: is he directly responsible?
The credentialed media: Be just as aware of what you are not being told as what is presented
That’s how you can spot the biases! We have reported, several times recently, on how the credentialed media write their stories to obscure the incidences in which teachers accused of sexual abuse are actually being accused of homosexual sexual abuse. I stated explicitly, when I see a story in the credentialed media about the sexual …
Government Enforced Shutuppery
The Biden Administration keeps going after the Capitol kerfufflers, and is now charging Stephen M Baker, a sometime-journalist, with the same four offenses used against the vast majority of the protesters. Musician and libertarian writer who works for ‘The Blaze’ arrested on Jan. 6 charges Steve Baker, who led a David Bowie tribute band and …
What Happened to America’s Work Ethic?
I’ve seen the forms before. In an employee evaluation form from the University of Kentucky, when I was in grad school, there was an attendance section which had four different possible selections, one of which was “Uses sick days as fast/almost as fast as they are accumulated.” And no, that box was not checked in …
He Can’t Handle the Truth!
Jack Nicholson was speaking the truth, that we want men with guns defending us, we need men with guns defending us. The truth can be uncomfortable, but the truth needs to be spoken.
World War III Watch: Warmongers Gotta Warmonger!
It seems that the neoconservatives — who haven’t seemed very conservative when it comes to domestic policy — simply have never met a war in which they didn’t want the United States to fight.
“Justice” in Philadelphia
We have previously noted that The Philadelphia Inquirer wrote major stories on the murder of Samuel Sean Collington, a Temple University student approaching graduation. Mr Collington was a white victim, murdered by Latif Williams, a black 17-year-old, in a botched robbery. On December 2, 2021,the Inquirer published 14 photographs from a vigil for Mr Collington, along with another story about him. This was a big …
Do the Left Really Want to Excuse Juvenile Crime?
As we reported on Ash Wednesday, The Philadelphia Inquirer gave OpEd space to three Montclair State University ‘academics,’ in which they argued that the barins of teenagers are not fully matured by age 18, and that they should usually be treated as juveniles for several more years, to give them a chance for rehabilitation. Well, …
Stupidity x Stupidity = Stupidity²
When your Wikipedia biography page has a section “Other Names,” you know that there’s already a problem. We have mentioned the lovely Rachel Dolezal only thrice previously on The First Street Journal, and then only in mockery. The white woman born Rachel Anne Dolezal, to two white parents, in very white Montana — 88.9% white, …
Very Compassionate Academics Want “Juvenile” Definitions Extended Beyond Age 18, So Violent Twenty-Somethings Can Be “Reformed”
What is adulthood? In one way, our Constitution specifies adulthood, with the Twenty-sixth Amendment: Section 1. The right of citizens of the United States, who are eighteen years of age or older, to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of age. Section 2. The …
The Associated Press Make Story About Rescue of Two Israeli Hostages All About the Poor, Poor Palestinians!
Maybe Hamas shouldn’t have started a war they knew they couldn’t win? The Israel Defense Force have rescued two elderly hostages seized by Hamas in the October 7th terror raid, but Associated Press reporters Najib Jobain, Josef Federman, and Samy Magdy want you to sympathize with the Palestinian Arabs who held them captive! Israeli forces …
Clearly, I Should Be Watched, Perhaps Even Arrested, for Wrongthink.
We have previously reported on the Federal Bureau of Investigation and its supposedly abandoned policy of surveilling “Radical Traditionalist Catholics.” That story has pretty much faded away, but I seriously doubt that everyone in the FBI has forgotten that we are the absolutely greatest threat to America! Well, the US is not the only nation …
Journolism: The Credentialed Media Don’t Actually Lie, But They Conceal Politically Incorrect Facts
We have said it before: the journolists¹ of the credentialed media don’t outright lie to us, but they are very good at not mentioning politically incorrect facts. For instance, we recently reported that The Philadelphia Inquirer, our nation’s third oldest continuously published daily newspaper, made no mention at all of the murder of 19-year-old Nafiese …
How Do Wealthy New Englanders Fight #ClimateChange?
This article title, “How wealthy New Englanders fight #ClimateChange” is one we have used thrice previously. In the first, we noted the PBS television series This Old House and its renovation of the Seaside Victorian Cottage, in Narragansett, Rhode Island. Those wealthy New Englanders didn’t choose electric heat pumps, but warm, dependable gas heating for …
The Freedom of Speech Comes With an Obligation of Responsibility; People Are Responsible for What They Say.
I have always believed in the freedom of speech, that people should be absolutely free to say whatever they wished. But I also believe that the speaker is not somehow immune from the consequences of his speech. The Supreme Court noted that freedom of speech doesn’t extend to yelling, “Fire!” in a crowded theater, or …
