The activists wanting to fight global warming climate change have long said that increased urbanization is part of the solutions they seek: Huge gains, in terms of reducing harmful gases, can be made by changing how we plan, build, manage and power our cities and towns. Well designed, compact, walkable cities with good public transport …
On Friday, I commented on a tweet from Steve Keeley, showing the mugshot of a Philadelphia man,35, charged with $300k take in spree of 24 robberies and burglaries in Philadelphia & 5 Montgomery & Bucks County suburbs in just 10 month span. I said, “Love the expression on his mug shot,” because he had a …
The American Revolution was slowly being brewed by the resentments our colonial forebears felt for the really not that oppressive rule by King George III across the wide Atlantic Ocean, and Parliament’s desire that the colonists pay for the costs of their own defense in the French and Indian War. It was our freedom of …
There is at least a slight possibility that Philadelphia Inquirer columnist Helen Ubiñas isn’t a totally Kool Aid drinking #woke progressive, as her Monday morning column told a very uncomfortable truth. After a Philadelphia mother lost her son to gun violence, she blamed one person This mother’s personal journey is part of the layered, complicated …
We have often mocked what I have sometimes referred to as The Philadelphia Enquirer¹ for its journolism² and wholly #woke kowtowing to the left, but it doesn’t matter: no matter how low you bow and scrape, you just can’t bow low enough or rend your garments and gnash your teeth in anguish enough to satisfy …
I’ve long called the response to COVID-19 a panicdemic, because the chief disease we suffered was the loss of our rights due to the utter, widespread panic that government officials pushed, and the authoritarian controls they imposed, with most of the sheeple barely uttering a bleat. And now, Mayor Jim Kenney (D-Philadelphia) has unwittingly admitted …
Doing the right things teaches your kids to do the right things. We have previously noted the homicide rate in St Louis, which, with an even 200 murders in 2022, and a Census Bureau estimated population of 286,578 as of July 1, 2022, yields a homicide rate of a whopping 69.79 per 100,000 population. When …
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 …
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 …
Our Infrastructure is not ready for government-mandated plug-in electric vehicles! Government mandates have pushed deployment ahead of engineering realities.
The Democratic primary for the Philadelphia mayoral nomination is over, the ‘progressive’ — a term William Teach defines as ‘nice fascist’ — candidate lost, coming in third, and the #woke left are trying to spin it. The Real Lesson for Progressives in Our Philadelphia Mayoral Defeat by Nathan J Robinson | Wednesday, May 17, 2023 …
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. Mr Grant, who was not previously facing charges which would have kept him locked up for life, was recaptured by federal marshals just a few …
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 …
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 …
Khader Adnan was a long-time Palestinian Arab activist, and at one point a spokesman for the Palestinian Islamic Jihad. Arrested many times, Mr Adnan’s weapon of choice in detention was the hunger strike. His first hunger strike, ten days long, occurred in 2000, when he was locked up not by the Israelis, but the Palestinian …
I have frequently called out The Philadelphia Inquirer for poor reporting, so it is only fair when I note when they do good journalism. The quiet handling of rape allegations at two Philly health institutions How Jefferson and Rothman dealt with an alleged sexual assault involving an orthopedic surgeon and a medical resident. by Wendy …
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. Crime has increased in our nation’s capital, increased dramatically this year. The chart at the …
Sometimes the stupidity gets piled so high and deep that I wind up just shaking my head. Yeah, I realize that some people just feel that they have to top the past sexual revelation, and when I find myself saying, “Well, this takes the cake,” I have to realize that something even dumber will soon …
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 …
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 …
