Swimming in the Shallow End of the Gene Pool
My website has twice previously reported on the very lovely Jayana Webb. On March 21, 2022, 21-year-old Miss Webb killed 29-year-old Pennsylvania State Police Trooper Brendan Sisca, 33-year-old State Trooper Martin Mack, and 28-year-old electrician Reyes Rivera Oliveras. No, Miss Webb didn’t pull a gun and shoot them; she used a Chevy Captiva. The Philadelphia …
No Riots: Dexter Reed Will Not Get His George Floyd Moment

Well, …
Another Example Of Deafening Liberal Silence
News organizations and their leftist followers screech to high heavens when there is a mass shooting-uniess the shooter is a member of a protected demographic.
