Why Was ‘Peanut’ Not Behind Bars?
Releasing violent criminals early, even one day before the maximum time that they can be kept locked up legally, increases the danger to the community.
Dana Pico
Our American Revolution Began Around Boston; Now Bostonians Are Saddled With an Authoritarian Government That They Chose for Themselves!
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. …
What the Social Engineering of the 1960s Got Wrong
We use race as a kind of shorthand for describing different characterizations in the human gene pool, in a lot of ways, it is misused for many things.
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 Gobsmacked by Reality
Would it be wrong of me to retort, “Learn to code“? Thomas Carlyle, the Scottish essayist, historian and philosopher, coined the phrase “the dismal science” to refer to economics in the 19th century, and for the print newspaper industry in the United States, economics has been a very dismal science. Editorial cartoonists’ firings point to …
How The Washington Post Misdirects Your Attention On An Important Subject
It’s always amusing when today’s left try to minimize an important point, brought up by conservatives, one with which they cannot disagree, but also one with which they don’t want conservatives to gain any credit. Kathleen Parker Cleveland¹, of The Washington Post, knows that no decent person can support child sexual abuse and trafficking, but, …
The Philadelphia Inquirer Tells Us All About Barbie and Gluten-Free Meals at the Shore. Criminals On the Streets? Not So Much.
The Philadelphia Inquirer was more than willing to tell readers about how heroic Michael Salerno intervened to try to stop a carjacking, and was killed for his efforts: Police identify man killed in South Philly trying to stop a carjacking Michael Salerno was trying to prevent three young men from stealing his car while a …
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.
Theodore Johnson Says the Quiet Part Out Loud
The scorn heaped on Americans of Asian descent by black Americans since 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. Promise Li wrote, in The Nation: (W)e …
How Wealthy New Englanders Fight #ClimateChange
We have previously noted how the wealthy New England homeowners featured in the Public Broadcasting System’s famous, long-running This Old House series, from areas which gave the large majority of their votes to the Democrats, still love them some fossil fuels. It was season 43 for This Old House series, and yet another set of …
World War III Watch: Warmongers Gotta Warmonger!
We noted, just a couple of days ago, that American newspapers were starting to go all-out neoconservative in wanting to expand American and NATO involvement in the Russo-Ukrainian War. The Philadelphia Inquirer’s chief warmonger, Trudy Rubin, wants NATO to take in Ukraine, saying: This is the moment when NATO members, led by Biden, should be …
World War III Watch: The Neocons Are At It Again!
I have said it before: There has been a whole lot of World War II thinking applied to the Russo-Ukraine War — or perhaps I should call it Russo-Ukraine War 2.0, considering Russia’s seizure and annexation of part of Ukraine in 2014 — with the logic that pushed the United Kingdom and France to declare war …
Remember You Haters! Calling Them ‘Groomers’ and Saying That ‘They’re Coming After Our Kids’ is Sexist, Homophobic, Transphobic and Just Plain False and Mean!
There are times I think that I’ve written on the subject of ‘transgenderism’ too frequently, but it keeps coming up in the news. I wouldn’t care if Jack wanted to call himself Jill, if the ‘transgendered’ weren’t trying to use the power of the state to force other people to go along with their delusions. …
Killadelphia: A Philadelphia Councilcritter Tells Us the Truth
The Washington Post quoted Philadelphia City Councilwoman Jamie Gauthier, a Democrat who represents the area of southwest Philadelphia in which the mass murder occurred, though possibly in a way she might regret: Philadelphia City Council member Jamie R. Gauthier (D), who represents areas where the shooting occurred, described her district as “under siege” by gun …
Today’s Left Really, Really, Really Hate the Freedom of Speech, and Normality
There has been all sorts of leftist angst and hollering and combitching about laws, passed in several states, which ban hormone and surgical ‘treatments’ for minors who believe themselves to have been born the wrong sex. It’s discriminatory, it’s wrong, it will hurt people, and lead to suicides, we are told. Yet, oddly enough, I …
The ‘Wise Latina’ Says the Quiet Part Out Loud
At the annual Mario G. Olmos Law and Cultural Diversity Lecture at UC-Berkeley in 2001, Federal Judge Sonia Sotomayor said, “I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn’t lived that life.” Those words were …
The Supreme Court Destroys All Chances of Race-Based ‘Reparations’
It was 2003 when the Supreme Court released its decision in Grutter v Bollinger, 539 U. S. ____ (2003), in which a bare majority allowed the University of Michigan Law School to continue to consider race in its admissions decisions. Associate Justice Sandra Day O’Connor concluded, in something we have cited previously: We take the …
Fearmongering From The Nation, As They Fret That ‘The South Shall Rise Again!’
The Nation is a biweekly ‘progressive’ political journal, whose positions have usually been on the far left end of the American political spectrum. The magazine used a fairly simple drawing to illustrate an article this morning, but I thought a drawing of Pickett’s Charge, from the Battle of Gettyburg, would be more appropriate, because they’re …
Today’s Left See Landlords as Snidely Whiplash, Tying Sweet Nell to the Railroad Tracks
In November on 2017, the voters of the City of Brotherly Love voted in a self-proclaimed “progressive prosecutor,” a criminal defense attorney, Larry Krasner, whose campaign website proudly proclaims that: During his first term, he has supported victims, he has exonerated the innocent, and he has held police accountable. He has reduced future years of …
The Dummkopf from Delaware Strikes Again!
We have previously noted how Joe Biden has managed to insult Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman, and how that hasn’t produced the foreign policy results the President wanted. So now, with the United States military weakened by having send war materiel to Ukraine, and abandoned more in Afghanistan, Mr Biden has sent Secretary of …
