Five of the chargers were unoccupied, while a sixth was blocked by a mid-1990s, gasoline-engine beater car, using the charging area as a parking space. 🙂 …

Associated Press

We have frequently mocked The Philadelphia Inquirer’s very much unpublished stylebook, a manual and guide concerning how things should be expressed, in its use of “Black and brown” to refer to minority communities.

The Left Want Poorer, Minority Neighborhoods to Have Nicer Things, but Fret That Them Having Nicer Things Will Attract More White People to Move There

Gentrification can be defined as the process whereby the character of a poor urban area is changed by wealthier people moving in, improving housing, and attracting new businesses, typically displacing current inhabitants in the process.

Anti-Semitism Is a Serious Problem, but Restricting the Freedom of Speech and of the Press Is Not the Way to Fight It

We reported, on Thursday, how someone had distributed white supremacist flyers in Lexington’s Kenwick neighborhood, flyers contained in baggies, using rice to weigh them down enough not to be swept away by the wind.

Our American Revolution Began Around Boston; Now Bostonians Are Saddled With an Authoritarian Government That They Chose for Themselves!

Second Amendment

Somehow, I lack sympathy for Bostonians, who should have known better. We have previously reported, several times, on how wealthy New Englanders, people with the money to do what they want, choose to heat their homes and cook their food, and just enjoy the good life, even though the climate activists don’t want people to have that choice. …

The Problem Is Not Mass Incarceration; the Problem Is That Not Enough People Are Incarcerated, For Not a Long Enough Time!

Yes, I’ve spent a rather significant amount of bandwidth reporting on the unchecked crime in Philadelphia, the growth of which many, including me, have attributed to the lax-on-crime policies of the George Soros sponsored, police-hating and criminal loving defense lawyer now ‘serving’ as the city’s chief prosecutor, but it isn’t just the City of Brotherly …

Editorial cartoonists’ firings point to …

Odd Question: Will LGBTQ+ Population Decrease With End of Affirmative Action?

The Wall Street Journal is on top of the trends in business, as you’d expect, and reported that Chief Information Officers are worrying that employee ‘diversity’ will decrease following the Supreme Court’s  decision  in Students for Fair Admissions, Inc. v. President and Fellows of Harvard College, declaring what we all knew, that the equal protection clause in the 14th Amendment prohibited Affirmative Action using racial preferences in collegiate admissions.
