The Associated Press Make Story About Rescue of Two Israeli Hostages All About the Poor, Poor Palestinians!

by

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.

FBI/DOJ seal

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

by

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?

by

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.

by

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 …

I Guess That Marc Rowan Will Keep His Checkbook Closed

by

Our constitutional rights under the First Amendment include the right of peaceable assembly, and this demonstration on the University of Pennsylvania campus in foul, fetid, fuming, foggy, filthy Philadelphia has been reported to be completely peaceful. But, in speaking their piece, the demonstrators, which included some Penn faculty, have exposed themselves to criticism of their …

Municipal Plans to “Go Green” Can Be Described With Two Words, the First Word of Which Is “Cluster.”

by

The Biden Administration and the global warming climate change activists want to force all new vehicles sold in the United States to be zero-emission come 2035, because they believe that our personal choices don’t matter, but even now they are pushing plug-in electrics, seemingly unconcerned with the possible drawbacks. From Fox Business: Electric buses are …

No One Wants to Live Next to a Landfill

by

I have long said that the conquering Israelis should have expelled every last Arab from the territories they conquered in the Six-Day War of 1967. It would have been a horrible humanitarian disaster, but such would have left the Jewish State with shortened, more defensible borders, and the displaced Arabs would not have been living …

I Told You So!

I really do love being proved right!

I had previously said that school districts which kept students “gender transitions” secret from their parents will have opened the districts to humongous lawsuits.

More parents claim Colorado school district forced children into overnight rooms with students of opposite sex

Multiple parents claim their child was forced to stay in overnight accommodations with transgender students.

By Kendall Tietz, Fox News | Monday, January 15, 2024 | 9:00 AM EST

More parents have come forward with claims that children in a Colorado school district were forced into sharing overnight rooms, even showers, with students of the opposite sex.

For whatever reasons they have, Fox News is now requiring readers to provide their email addresses to see the articles. If you want to check the original I used, you can access it here without going through more idiocy.

Why Do Western Liberals Refuse to See Hamas for What They Are, When the Terrorists Tell Us All About Themselves, Every Day

by

While the Islamists may lie to people for tactical reasons when it comes to their situation on the ground, they have been very honest about their policies and goals. What I cannot understand is how or why Western liberals just can’t believe them. Hamas has told the world that their goal is to expel all …

You in a Heap o’ Trouble, Boy!

by

We noted, on Thursday evening, that the George Soros-sponsored, police-hating, softer-on-crime-than-Charmin District Attorney, Larry Krasner, wants to get Act 40, establishing a special prosecutor for crimes committed on or near SEPTA property, declared unconstitutional, because, in my opinion, he wants to cripple the law enforcement arm of Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker Mullins’ plan to shut …

“No Man’s Life, Liberty, or Property Are Safe While the Democrats Are in Control.”

by

“No man’s life, liberty or property are safe while the Legislature is in session,” is a quote attributed to both Mark Twain and Gideon Tucker, but, rather than the Legislature, I would amend it to say, “No man’s life, liberty, or property are safe while the Democrats are in control.” We have recently reported on …

Journolism: The Credentialed Media Don’t Exactly Lie to Us, But They Conceal Politically Incorrect Facts in a Biased Manner

by

We have previously reported that today’s professional journalists rarely deliberately lie to us, but that they often omit rather important parts of the story. This was an Associated Press story, an ostensibly straight news piece, in which the writer managed to omit the most important part of the story. Read on and you’ll see why …

In Which Assemblyman Corey Jackson Tells Us That Non-White Ethnic Groups Just Aren’t Equal to White Americans

by

California state Assemblyman Corey A Jackson is not someone you would ordinarily think believed that non-white persons simply aren’t equal with whites, but darned if that isn’t exactly what he believed. Elected in 2022 to represent the 60th Assembly District, his main concern seems to be race. He was aghast, appalled, and definitely clutching his …
