Citizen Writers Fighting Censorship by Helping Americans Understand Issues Affecting the Republic.
Dana Pico On Tuesday, September 27, 2022, Mayor Jim Kenney (D-Philadelphia) signed an executive order banning the possession of firearms and other deadly weapons at city parks and recreation centers, something that even The Philadelphia Inquirer recognized as likely to draw a legal challenge. It didn’t take long: on Monday, October 3rd, the executive order was tossed …
Since the shootings at Roxborough High School, in which six gang-bangers “clique beefers”¹ in a stolen SUV ambushed at least one targeted individual, wounding three others and killing an apparently innocent 14-year-old as they were leaving a football scrimmage, the cries of the people and the politicians to “do something” has been deafening. City Councilwoman …
It was buried dozens of paragraphs down in a long story in The Philadelphia Inquirer, the indicator of the mindset that afflicts the oh-so-compassionate left in the United States: In Philadelphia, there are no gangs in the traditional, nationally known sense. Instead, they are cliques of young men affiliated with certain neighborhoods and families. It …
The image to the right is a screen capture if the results I got when I Google searched for libraries in Bucks County. This section of the map shows other libraries. The Philadelphia Inquirer is, of course, aghast that concerned parents might not want their impressionable children exposed to certain materials, primarily sexually explicit materials, …
At length I remembered the last resort of a great princess who, when told that the peasants had no bread, replied: “Then let them eat brioches.“ — Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Confessions My good friend and sometimes blog pinch-hitter William Teach pointed me to this article from Nicholas Goldberg in The Los Angeles Times, which can also be …
While we have previously noted that while Philadelphia’s homicide rate increased after Jim Kenney replaced Michael Nutter as Mayor, things really began to take off after Larry Krasner became District Attorney. Now my good friend Robert Stacy McCain has noted how homicides took off in Baltimore after another George Soros-sponsored wokester, Marilyn Mosby, became Charm …
American television networks spent all Monday morning covering the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II, and if Her Majesty was just a figurehead, who reigned but not ruled, she still seems to have been more self-aware than President Biden: REPORTER: “People are shocked by their grocery bills. What can you do better and faster?” BIDEN: “Inflation …
Trouble is, that also means she stands with the thugs, the gang-bangers, and the killers in her city. Republican members of the Pennsylvania state House of Representatives are considering the impeachment of Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner, and City Councilwoman Jamie Gauthier (D-3rd District) — and please pardon me for assuming her gender — is …
I was wryly amused to see these two editorial links together on the front page of The Wall Street Journal’s website front page Wednesday morning. As President Joe Biden wants desperately to reduce inflation, with the midterm elections just 55 days away, it demonstrates the lack of thought the Administration has put into its policies. …
The open air drug trade in Philadelphia shows what happens when you leave a sink full of dirty dishes alone for 70 years
I seem to remember a time, not so long ago, when the left were telling us that it was not just right, but mandatory, that people alter their desired behavior because a horrible virus was loose. Now some are demanding, demanding! that the government enable their ability to do exactly as they please, without any …
There has been much mockery of the California’s announcement that, beginning in 2035, only zero-emissions personal new vehicles could be sold in the Pyrite State, followed just a couple of days later by pleas that owners of plug-in electric vehicles not be recharged at home during peak energy use hours, and that was followed by …
One of my major points of disagreement is the Libertarian Party’s position on drug legalization. Being married to a pediatric nurse, has softened me on that.
Why does outgoing Commonwealth’s Attorney Lou Anna Red Corn go after white killers more harshly? Is Justice a Matter of Color in Lexington?
The truth will set you free . . . if you are free to tell the truth. That truth is: Killington. After being graduated from high school in Mt Sterling, Kentucky, I was more than ready to leave the small town and head for Lexington, and the University of Kentucky. It wasn’t like I could …
But until the COVID-19 panicdemic (not a typographical error; panic was really the disease) we had serious clinical trials for a new vaccine.
Philly Mayor, “Jim ‘Mask Up’ Kenney” is a prime example of the hypocrisy of elected Democrats.
Do Black lives matter to the justice system? Disparate sentencing results between White and Black suspects might indicate otherwise.
Journalism must report the truth even if it means digging deeply into things that some people, particularly people in positions of power, do not want disclosed.
We are finding out, 2½ years after the panicdemic began, that a lot of children contracted the SARS-CoV-2 virus than we ever thought, and were either only mildly sick, or didn’t get sick at all.
