When Elections Lose Legitimacy

by

The collapse of a republic rarely begins with tanks in the streets or dramatic constitutional crises. More often, it begins with a far quieter question: Can we trust our elections? Once citizens lose confidence in the process that grants political authority, every institution built upon that authority begins to crack. Courts become suspect, laws become negotiable, and political opponents become enemies. A nation can survive bitter policy disagreements. It cannot survive indefinitely if its citizens no longer believe their government derives its authority from legitimate elections.

At some point it has to be asked: how stupid can people be?

The Lexington Police went from saying Sunday morning that they “have no updates” on the mass shooting at Charles Young Park to the (alleged) shooter being in jail Sunday evening. I suppose that’s the kind of thing the police do to not alert the suspect that they are hot on his heels.

An 18-year-old man was arrested Sunday and charged with killing one and injuring four in a mass shooting, according to the Lexington Police Department.

No, of course the Lexington Herald-Leader did not publish the suspect’s mugshot, but WLKY did, and one of my electronic friends tweeted it out to the world.

Last Wednesday, police in California arrested Heidi Beirich, formerly with the beleaguered Southern Poverty Law Center, on charges that she oversaw secret payments to informants inside of white supremacist groups—including payments to an informant who allegedly was her neo-Nazi boyfriend.

Killadelphia

by

Our Killadelphia posts have decreased in frequency since the bad old days of 2021 and 2022, and naturally the city’s George Soros-sponsored, criminal-loving and police-hating District Attorney, Larry Krasner, claims that his policies are working, but it’s never a surprise when one killing leads to another in the City of Brotherly Love. Shooting of Philly …

Coming Soon from Chuck Klein

My latest book, CIRCA 1967, Unyielding Mind-set Street Cop turns P.I. Collides with Anarchy, is a forty-year odyssey—a trek, a pilgrimage, a crusade—one man’s three lifetimes: from a twenty-something blue collar/junior executive to an excitement-driven law enforcement officer to the mature fiftyish private investigator involved in a world-changing ordeal.

Family demand answers!

by

My good friend Robert Stacy McCain has a short series entitled “Family Demands Answers”, which reached the fourth such article at the beginning of this month, and as you might guess the series refers to families loudly complaining about their poor future doctors and astrophysicists being killed while doing something boneheadedly stupid. It’s like a “Hold my beer” moment, but with the police involved.

A father is searching for answers after lawyers say a police pursuit of an ATV ended in his son’s death

Sterling Jones, 22, died after his ATV struck an Uber driver in May. Lawyers for Jones’ father say police should not have been pursuing him in the first place.

The father of a Philadelphia man who was killed in an ATV crash this spring said police officers pursued his son moments before he drove the wrong way down a one-way street, ran a red light, and collided with a sedan.

Shocking! A Philly Inquirer columnist takes a conservative position!

by

I have thrice speculated that Philadelphia Inquirer columnist and sometime editorial writer Daniel Pearson might be a conservative. He really isn’t, but for a liberal, and especially someone on the staff of the Inky, he is not only willing to interact with people with whom he disagrees, unlike Will Bunch, but actually supports conservative ideas …
