Lies, Damned Lies, and Statistics

Garbage in, garbage out: when you base your arguments on lies bad data, your arguments fall apart. And trusting professional media editors to check writers’ work is a job that seems frequently undone. Mary Lou Marzian, former Kentucky House Representative for the previous District 34, and Honi Marleen Goldman, described as “a Kentucky activist,” and …

The good, #progressive and environmentalist Penn students leave the streets filled with garbage

Do you see those dark blue areas, just to the left of the Schuylkill River in Philadelphia? The dark blue areas are the wards in which far-left ‘progressive’ Helen Gym Flaherty received the plurality of the votes cast in the Democratic mayoral primary, and the bulge toward the east is University City, where the University …

Darwin Award Winner Recaptured in Philadelphia

We have previously noted the jailbreak of Nasir Grant, 24, and Ameen Hurst, 18, from Philadelphia’s Industrial Correctional Center, and how other people are now facing charges for aiding them.

If Liberals Really Understood Economics, They Wouldn’t Be Liberals Anymore!

Logo

The American left just love to argue that certain things are “basic human rights.” Not things like our freedom of speech or religion, things which the Constitution of the United States recognizes as something we have as part of ourselves, but things which the left believe that other people should be required to provide for …

‘Progressives’ Against Common Sense and Reality

The Nation is a far-left, “progressive” opinion journal with a long history, and when you see an article from The Nation, you already know: it’s going to be almost Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez crazy: How Women’s Swimming Got So Transphobic Almost no other sport is as hostile to trans athletes—and that’s because its culture created the perfect …

‘Decarceration’ Programs Are Deadly to Black Americans

It was two months ago that Congress, which is normally hands off but does have jurisdiction over the District of Columbia, rejected the city’s attempt to overhaul its criminal law, an attempt which would have reduced or eliminated mandatory minimums.

World War III Watch: Neocons Gotta Neocon, Warmongers Gotta Warmonger!

We have previously reported on Bill Kristol, the neoconservative founder and later destroyer of The Weekly Standard, because as a dedicated #NeverTrumper he couldn’t stand to allow any support of Donald Trump in a magazine marketed to conservatives and Republicans. Mr Kristol and the other neocons, such as Max Boot and Jennifer Rubin, all love …

It Was Never About Tolerance; It Was Always About Forced Acceptance!

We first mentioned Dylan Mulvaney a month ago, when, as Robert Stacy McCain put it, “satire is rapidly becoming impossible because reality has gotten so weird.” Since then, two well-paid executives accepting his ‘reality’ have managed to get themselves fired “leaves of absence“. Mr Mulvaney managed to keep his mouth shut for a while, as someone told …

The Philadelphia Police Department: Does Sloppiness in the Little Things Lead to Sloppiness in the Big Things?

We reported on Wednesday about the terrible job that Philadelphia’s Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw has done, not on the crime numbers, though those are certainly important, but on managing and leading the Department. But while leaders are normally called into account for the big things, it’s the little things that frequently don’t get noticed, but …

Differences That Make a Difference

Football 365 sounds like a great site, maybe something akin to Good Morning Football or NFL Total Access on the NFL Network, on Channel 212 on DirecTV. Alas! it’s not about real football, but just soccer. Still, the site isn’t political, despite being British. At least, I couldn’t find any real politics in this article …

Danielle Outlaw Isn’t Just Toast, But She’s Toast That Has Fallen On the Floor, Buttered Side Down.

Even though I read The Philadelphia Inquirer every day, I don’t normally do so expecting something humorous. But this time reporters Anna Orso and Chris Palmer provided some really belly laughs! Police commissioner Danielle Outlaw has unwittingly become a ‘political football.’ The mayor’s race could decide her future. If history is a guide, the next …

America’s Disastrous Foreign Policy Under the Dummkopf From Delaware

Remember when the Democrats were telling us that the election of Joe Biden would usher in a new-found respect for the United States around the world? Remember when we were told by the credentialed media assured us that the end of Donald Trump’s wicked regime and ‘America First’ policies would bring foreign relations back to …

If You’re Scared, Say You’re Scared. But Don’t Be Afraid of Stupid Stuff.

That things get stupid following a mass shooting, such as the one in Louisville, or school shooting like the one in Nashville, is expected. But there’s a point at which stupidity gets squared. From The Philadelphia Inquirer: Parents say Bala Cynwyd fifth graders texted about who should be shot in the next school shooting “Everyday …
