Citizen Writers Fighting Censorship by Helping Americans Understand Issues Affecting the Republic.

I devoured the Conan the Barbarian books when I was a teenager, starting out with the Lancer Books twelve volume edition. Robert E Howard wrote his original books between 1930 and 1936, and L Sprague deCamp, Lin Carter and Bjorn Nyberg added to it. Published in the 1960s and 70s, the men were strong and …
It’s not as though we didn’t know this already! “I was wrong” is not something you expect to hear from an economist. When they are wrong, economists are far more likely to push the reason for them being wrong onto things totally unforeseeable, or Donald Trump, or bad data coming from outside sources. Well, last …
You can never escape! One way or another, I’m gonna find ya I’m gonna get ya, get ya, get ya, get ya One way, or another, I’m gonna win ya I’m gonna get ya, get ya, get ya, get ya One way, or another, I’m gonna see ya I’m gonna meet ya, meet ya, meet …
I will admit it: I had never heard of Stacey Henley before. Mr Henley writes about electronic games, and those are simply of no interest to me. But now he’s telling us that if we choose to go to see Spider-Man: Lotus, we must be horrible, horrible raaaaacists. Titled Spider-Man: Lotus, the movie was one …
We have previously noted that the law-abiding people in Philadelphia have been seeking concealed carry permits at a record pace. And we have seen stories about some of the bad guys in Philly being sent untimely to their eternal rewards. Why are people in the City of Brotherly Love arming themselves? When there are innocent …
Sometimes, you just can’t make up this stuff! Philadelphia’s George Soros stooge ‘progressive’ District Attorney, Larry Krasner, tweeted: Ahead of Father’s Day, I challenge anyone thinking about picking up a gun unlawfully, think twice, and remember the families gun violence is wrecking. If you are caught by the @PPD, you will be held accountable. Have …
Yes, it was ‘just’ a special election, and yes, Mexico-born Mayra Flores will only hold the seat until the beginning of January unless she wins the general election in November, but this could well be a sign of things to come. From The New York Times: Republicans flip a Democratic-held House seat in South Texas, …
Max (Maxim?) Aleksandrovich Boot was born on September 12, 1969 in Moscow, the son of two Russian Jews. They were lucky: they were able to emigrate to the United States in 1976, bringing young Max with them. Mr Boot, whose parents fled a strongly antisemitic regime in the USSR under Leonid Brezhnev, once said, “I …
For “Pride” month, The Washington Post published an article which said the quiet part out loud: Behind the visible queerness in women’s sports — and why it matters Perspective by Frankie de la Cretaz | Friday, June 10, 2022 | 10:47 AM EDT Alyssa is dating DeWanna who used to be married to Candice; Jasmine …
Food, Nutrition, and Consumer Services Deputy Under Secretary of Agriculture Stacy Dean said, “Whether you are grocery shopping, standing in line at the school cafeteria, or picking up food from a food bank, you should be able to do so without fear of discrimination. No one should be denied access to nutritious food simply because …
Adopted Philadelphian Amanda Marcotte doesn’t normally write about the City of Brotherly Love, but with the gang gun battle on Sunday, even she had to pay attention. From Salon: U.S. gun laws are causing mayhem and mass murder — and Republicans couldn’t be more thrilled Crappy gun laws cause our crime problems. But Republicans blame …
In the 51 years since I left my mother’s house, I have lived in apartments, rented single family homes, an owned half-duplex, an owned single family home, and now, finally, an owned farmhouse on actual farmland. We have exactly one neighboring home, about 100 yards away, as our houses are the only two on a …
I follow former state Representative Charles Booker (D-43rd District, Louisville) on Twitter not because I like him, but because he is a candidate, and now the Democratic nominee, to challenge Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) in the general election. Mr Booker, who ran for the Democratic nomination to challenge Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) in 2020, but …
I really, really, really wanted to write about something else this morning; I’ve spent so much time on the homicide rate in foul, fetid, fuming, foggy, filthy Philadelphia that I felt in a rut. Then the Memorial Day weekend happened, and I had two stories entitled Killadelphia in a row, as the blood flowed freely …
The Democrats and the left — please, pardon the redundancy — are never willing to inflate a crime into a crisis, and are using the school shooting in Texas to try to infringe on the rights of Americans who have done nothing wrong. There was District Attorney Let ’em Loose Larry Krasner, who would rather …
While I have mentioned the censorship of The Philadelphia Inquirer previously, we don’t always get the evidence quite so directly. Police Officer Miguel Torres, Badge Number 7191, reported on a shooting in Mantua: 16th District — Shooting Incident 35XX Fairmont Avenue on highway at 7L06 PM. Victim #1 – Black female 19 years old was shot …
The headline was dramatic: More than 311,000 students have experienced gun violence at school since Columbine. Read that, and you’d think that half the schools in America were being machine gunned down, which is, let’s be honest about it, exactly what the editors of The Washington Post want you to believe. But what, exactly, does …
In a sad, sad moment for the United States, for sanity, and for democratic government, the United States Supreme Court in Obergefell v Hodges, 576 U.S. 644 (2015), decided that the precedents of all of known human history were meaningless, and homosexual couples had the same marriage rights as normal ones. Well, s(tuff) rolls downhill, …
Mitt Romney, the 2012 Republican presidential nominee, after having said that Russia was (then) the biggest geopolitical threat facing the United States, then-President Barack Hussein Obama, in their third presidential debate, hit back: A few months ago, when you were asked what’s the biggest geopolitical threat facing America, you said Russia. Not al Qaeda. You …
It’s perfectly understandable that when a city like Philadelphia elects a George Soros sponsored defense attorney to become District Attorney, that that District Attorney will be more interested in setting criminals free than prosecuting crimes. From The Philadelphia Inquirer: Two judges have sparred with the Philly DA’s office recently over questions about old murder convictions …
