Unsurprisingly, The Philadelphia Inquirer wants to keep them out of the adult system. Shockingly enough, the Inquirer actually reported, albeit briefly, on two murders in the city yesterday. Two people were killed and eight others wounded in separate shootings around Philadelphia on Monday, police said. Just after 3 p.m., an unidentified man believed to be …

This morning’s news is all about the shootings in Highland Park, Illinois, at a Fourth of July parage, allegedly committed by Robert Chimo III, who was arrested without incident.

It’s not as though we didn’t know this already! “I was wrong” is not something you expect to hear from an economist.

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 …

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
