Will Bunch says the quiet part out loud The left want to eliminate all immigration law enforcement

Some of our good friends on the left in foul, fetid, fuming, foggy, filthy Philadelphia simply want to eliminate law enforcement entirely. The city’s George Soros-sponsored, police-hating and criminal-loving District Attorney, Larry Krasner, has been twice elected, and I will be completely unsurprised if The Philadelphia Inquirer in general, and far-left columnist Will Bunch individually endorse Mr Krasner for re-nomination.

“Working Families Party” criminal justice organizer — whatever that title means! — Sergio Hyland, who had previously served 22 years for murder before being paroled in February of 2022, was just arrested for the early morning murder of Jasimane Ransom on July 11, 2024. When officers arrested Mr Hyland at his East Germantown home, they recovered three rifles, two handguns, and multiple rounds of ammunition inside. As a previously convicted felon, Mr Hyland was legally prohibited from possessing firearms. He was not a good guy.

Just eight days before his arrest, the Working Families Party issued a joint news release from Hyland and District Attorney Larry Krasner, announcing its endorsement of Krasner in his campaign for a third term as top prosecutor. Continue reading →

You in a heap o’ trouble, girl!

Our nation’s public school teachers are supposed to be intelligent and reasonably well educated. They are required to have baccalaureate degrees, and the vast majority of systems require teachers to obtain their master’s within about five years or so. Oddly enough, when I went to high school, back in the days of inkwells and quill pens, we had exactly one teacher who had his masters, yet I’d argue that we emerged from high school far better educated than what our public schools are producing today.

So, the obvious question is: why are so many of them so boneheadedly stupid?

Sometimes you just have to be an [insert slang term for the rectum here] to do things right President Trump tries to break the 'anchor baby' chain.

According to Wikipedia, the term “anchor baby” is defined as:

Anchor baby is a term (regarded by some as a pejorative[1][2]) used to refer to a child born to non-citizen parents in a country that has birthright citizenship which will therefore help the parents and other family members gain legal residency[3] or avoid deportation. In the U.S., the term is generally used as a derogatory reference to the supposed role of the child, who automatically qualifies as an American citizen under jus soli and the rights guaranteed in the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.[4][5][6] The term is also often used in the context of the debate over illegal immigration to the United States.[7] A similar term, “passport baby”, has been used in Canada for children born through so-called “maternity” or “birth tourism“.[8][9]

Once again, Hahvahd is producing The Best and The Brightest!

Harvard University, our nation’s oldest and most prestigious institution of higher learning — though any college which accepted David Hogg and granted him a degree has to be suspect when the term “higher learning” is applied to it — is suing the Trump Administration over federal spending cuts to the school due to Hahvahd’s refusal to go along with measures to protect Jewish students and personnel from the anti-Semitism which has been running rampant through our (supposedly) top universities.

So, naturally the Usual Suspects decide to demonstrate their anti-Semitism! Continue reading →

You in a heap o’ trouble, boy!

As Leroy Jethro Gibbs once said, on NCIS, when he was ‘questioning’ some young college kids, he “will not do well in prison.”

I have to admit, when I first saw this tweet from Steve Keeley of Fox 29 News, my first thought was, “This guy had to go after underaged girls?”

Good news out of Philadelphia! A Philly cop turned an illegal immigrant over to ICE despite city's 'sanctuary city' status

Deportation machines abound at local convenience stores! 🙂

Philadelphia is like a lot of major cities, declaring itself to be a ‘sanctuary’ city for all immigrants, by which they meant illegal immigrants. The city government was not going to cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Well, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported some good news on that front.

Charges against a man were dismissed. Then a Philly police officer escorted him into ICE custody.

A judge had dismissed charges against the Dominican National when, according to his lawyer, court and sheriff staff said he was wanted by ICE officers. A Philly police officer then stepped in.

Sometimes you just have to be an [insert slang term for the anus here] to do things right

The oh-so-noble idea behind welfare was the idea that down-on-their-luck people just need a helping hand to get themselves through a rough patch in their lives, to give them a chance to get back on their feet. The problem is that, behind that thinking, is the idea that everyone is actually willing to do the things to straighten out their lives. To the elites who have been putting together our welfare systems, the concept that some people would rather just do their own thing, not caring about getting their lives back in order as long as someone else was paying them to stay indolent was simply outside of their conceptual framework.

Shouldn’t a professional writer who ‘wonders’ about something know enough to Google the answer?

While doing research for my previous post, Requiescat in Pace, Pope Francis, I figured that I would check on the very lovely Amanda Marcotte, a loudly self-proclaimed atheist, to see what drivel she had written. As it happens, at least as of 8:00 PM on Easter Monday, our fanatic (neveau) Philadelphian hadn’t written about the Holy Father’s passing, but in a slightly older, April 18th article, I found this commenter on religion having said this:

Do Catholics really fast on Fridays during Lent, I had to wonder.

One thing is certain: she didn’t wonder enough to actually check it out! Continue reading →

Requiescat in Pace, Pope Francis

My Twitter — I refuse to call it 𝕏 — feed was full of chortling posts claiming that the Vatican denied Vice President J D Vance a meeting with Pope Francis, sending the Vatican’s second-ranking official instead, in what the left loudly proclaimed was a deliberate snub to Mr Vance.

That’s not quite what it was.

The story behind JD Vance’s unlikely visit with Pope Francis

Vance and Francis had publicly disagreed in recent months on immigration policies and other aspects of church teaching.
