From Where Will All This Money Come?

The biggest issue in foul, fetid, fuming, foggy, filthy Philadelphia at the moment is more state funding for the Southeast Pennsylvania Transportation Authority, or SEPTA, the mass transit agency which run buses, trains, trollies, and subways in the metropolitan area. SEPTA has a projected $213 million deficit, and has instituted significant service cuts to try …

Every Time You Think the Left Can’t Possibly Get More Stupid, They Say, “Hold My Beer!”

I will admit it: when I first saw this tweet from Greg Price, I had trouble believing it. No one, and I mean no one, could possibly be this stupid. Total Chaos at Arlington School Board Meeting, and You Won’t Believe What Left-Wingers Were Defending By Bonchie | Friday, August 22, 2025 9:45 AM EDT …

Do the Left Really Hate Donald Trump So Much That They’d Rather See More and More Blood Flowing Than the President Get Some Credit for Stopping a War?

Our good friends on the left — and I include the recent neoconservatives, who are not really conservative in very much among the left — are up in arms that the wicked, evil, hated President Donald Trump is trying to get at least a ceasefire, and possibly a lasting peace agreement, between Russia and Ukraine, …

We Don’t Know How the Summit Turned Out, But Our Neocons Are Hoping For Failure!

Our good friends on the left are just up in arms over President Trump’s meeting with Soviet Russian President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin in Alaska, ostensibly to discuss some way to end the Russo-Ukrainian War, which has been raging — well, maybe raging isn’t the right word; how about plodding along? — for 3½ years now. …

What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

For our good friends on the left, accepting transgenderism seems like almost a requirement. The left have mostly — there have been a few exceptions — decided that, when it comes to anything even remotely related to sex, they must take the furthest left position possible, or they will somehow be legitimizing the positions of …

Thoughts on Nagasaki Day

My mother served as a WAC — Women’s Army Corps — in General Douglas MacArthur’s headquarters in Tokyo during the Korean War, and she came to know the Japanese people, inasmuch as that was possible for a white woman who didn’t speak Japanese, in the early 1950s. She met and married my father there, so …

I Guess That Previous Lenient Treatment Didn’t Work All That Well

When Steve Keeley of Fox 29 News tweeted out the surveillance photos of a sexual assault suspect in Center City Philadelphia, I naturally checked The Philadelphia Inquirer, and noted that their story didn’t include the photos. Well, to give credit where credit is due, the newspaper surprised me and updated that story to include the …

Even a Participation Trophy is Too Big a Burden for the Special Snowflakes™

I played football when I was in high school, but I was nowhere near the best player on the team; I’m neither the strongest, nor the fastest, nor the most athletic person around. Nevertheless, I tried and did my best. Now, in the age of ‘Participation Trophies,’ President Donald Trump has revived the Presidential Physical …

To No One’s Surprise, the “Affordable Housing” Crisis Is a Result of Bidenflation

Heather Long, formerly of CNN and late of The Washington Post, now the Chief Economist for Navy Federal Credit Union, tweeted out an interesting economic graph, showing the rate of increase in home prices during the last five years. She wrote: The Case-Shiller US Home Price Index is up 52% since January 2020. That’s great …

If you are not calling on Hamas to surrender and release the hostages, your cries about people suffering in Gaza are worthless.

Armand Domalewski describes himself, in his Twitter biography, as a “Data scientist” living in San Francisco, and “Co-Founder, YIMBYs for Harris”. He’s actually followed by several real people I know, so perhaps he’s not an actual Palestinian bot, like so many of the other pro-Hamas posters on social media, but in this, he might as …

For the People of Gaza to Receive Any Aid, They Must Repudiate Hamas and Surrender

The current ‘Palestinian’ sympathizer meme on Twitter — as always, I refuse to call it 𝕏, the absolute worst rebranding in history — is that the poor, poor Palestinian children, children! are starving. A gentleman calling himself Dr Mohammed al Najjar tweeted:

Doctors in Gaza collapse in operating rooms from hunger.
Ambulance drivers can’t drive, their stomachs empty.
A hungry doctor treats a hungry patient brought by a hungry driver.
To the free people of the world: Say ENOUGH to this starvation

It’s not just Dr Najjar — assuming he’s a real person and not just another pro-terrorist bot — but many others appearing in my feeds.

Why Should It Be illegal to Do Something for Money That Is Perfectly Legal to Do for Free?

The title of this article is something I have asked about the repugnant profession of prostitution, but a guest column in The Philadelphia Inquirer doesn’t like the notion that a person could choose to make a live organ donation for filthy lucre: The legalization of human organ sales would only undermine human dignity A measure …

Police-hating Prosecutor Whines When a Police Officer He Wanted Jailed For Life Is Set Free

Larry Krasner, Philadelphia’s George Soros-sponsored, criminal-loving and police-hating District Attorney, recently renominated for a third term, as the city’s chief prosecutor, is just spittle-flecking angry that he cannot keep a former Philadelphia Police Officer in jail any longer, and, of course, the denizens at The Philadelphia Inquirer have been outraged all along. Columnist Helan Ubiñas …

Why Won’t the Media Report the News We Need?

We reported on Tuesday evening that Steve Keeley of Fox 29 News posted the photos released by the Philadelphia Police Department of two of the suspects in the mass shooting on the 1500 block of Etting Street at 4:38 PM EDT. We also pointed out that The Philadelphia Inquirer, a newspaper which has earned twenty …
