The credentialed media: Be just as aware of what you are not being told as what is presented

I’ve got to hand it to the people at Friends’ Central School in Wynnewood, Pennsylvania! When the news came out that Dr Margaret Somerville, of that fine institution, allegedly had some sort of sexual contact with a student many years ago, they, or at least someone, very diligently scrubbed out any references to the accused in which her photo was available. But a Google search for margaret somerville friends central, for images, was still good!

A Friends’ Central Latin teacher accused of sexual misconduct has resigned after a school investigation

Margaret Somerville was accused earlier this year of having sexual contact with a student “some 20 years ago,” the school said Monday.

A longtime Latin teacher at Friends’ Central School in Wynnewood was accused earlier in the school year of having sexual contact with a student two decades ago, and an internal investigation found the allegations credible, school officials said Monday. Continue reading →

Decades of nice, kind, and sympathetic government has turned Kensington into what it is today Sometimes you just have to be an [insert slang term for the rectum here] to do things right.

It was just six days previously that The Philadelphia Inquirer gave OpEd space to Jose Demarco to criticize Mayor Cherelle Parker Mullins’ decision that the City of Brotherly Love would no longer publicly fund syringe exchange programs to further enable junkies. Then, they did it again: Continue reading →

Whenever there is a truth you cannot tell, that is a truth you must tell!

J K Rowling, the author of the brilliant Harry Potter books, is a stone liberal, one who decided to tell readers that Albus Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts School of Wizardry and Witchcraft, is homosexual. Miss Rowling never mentioned anything about her vision of Professor Dumbledore as being queer in the actual series of books, and the only mention of sexuality in the series is all about normal sexual interests. Her description of how nerdy teenaged boys felt about having to ask out girls to the Yule Ball in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, when the main characters would have been 14-years-old, amazed me in how a middle-aged woman could so accurately portray a teenaged boy’s thinking and feelings and utter terrors at having to ask out a girl for the first time. But, even as liberal as she is, she understands that males cannot ‘transition’ into females, and vice-versa. Continue reading →

You will pay for it, and you will like it! All of the climate activists' plans involve huge increases in spending by consumers

Global warming climate change and the idiotic government policies which stem from the activists plans are supposed to be much more William Teach‘s bailiwick than mine, but I seem to have had a few recently. On Good Friday, I noted that the Biden Administration’s plans to have 500,000 commercial charging stations for plug-in electric vehicles installed by 2030 was falling very short. Philadelphia is going to ‘crack down’ on people parking on the sidewalks, something which many row home residents in the city have to do, and which means that at home charging of electric vehicles will not work for many of them. And now, The Philadelphia Inquirer has reported, though certainly not in any way to complain about government policies, just how all of this is going to fall on the consumer. Continue reading →

Biden Administration project to push electric vehicles is falling short

This site has previously reported on the Biden Administration’s plans to get half a million commercial electric vehicle charging stations built by 2030. But, according to The Washington Post, they aren’t getting a great start on the job!

Biden promised to install thousands of EV charging stations. Only 7 have been built.

The network of fast chargers promised by the Biden Administration has had a painfully slow rollout

President Biden has long vowed to build 500,000 electric vehicle charging stations in the United States by 2030. Those stations, the White House said, would help Americans feel confident purchasing and driving electric cars, and help the country cut carbon pollution. Continue reading →

Whenever there is a truth you cannot tell, that is a truth you must tell! "The truth is not always a pleasant thing." -- General "Buck" Turgidson in Dr Strangelove"

But, but, but, we are told that homosexuality has nothing, nothing at all, to do with pedophilia!

Well-known music activist, entrepreneur charged with child porn possession

by Kevin Shea | Tuesday, March 26, 2024 |4:51 PM EDT | Updated: Wednesday, March 27, 2024 | 7:06 AM EDT

A man active in several organizations related to Princeton University and its alumni has been charged with possessing child pornography, the Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office confirmed.

Roy ‘Trey’ Farmer, 53, faces one count of possession of child sexual abuse material, a third-degree felony. Investigators arrested him Friday at a condo he owns Princeton, across from the university’s main entrance.

Farmer was in the Mercer County jail Monday, awaiting a detention hearing court Wednesday in Superior Court of Mercer County in Trenton. A prosecutor’s office spokesperson said the office will argue he be detained pending trial.

So, who is Roy “Trey” Farmer? The Princeon Alumni feted him in an article two years ago. He has been very financially successful, and an international traveler and philanthropist. Then there’s this: Continue reading →

Decades of nice, kind, and sympathetic government has turned Kensington into what it is today

It was just Monday that we noted that Sometimes you just have to be an [insert slang term for the rectum here] to do things right: “Nice guy” policies have led to disaster in Philly. And on the same day, The Philadelphia Inquirer gave OpEd space to a homosexual and HIV activist who uses “they/them” pronouns to decry one of Mayor Cherelle Parker Mullins’ policies:

Mayor Cherelle Parker is losing progress in the fight against HIV/AIDS

If the mayor and the Kensington Caucus make it harder or impossible for people in Kensington to access clean syringes, they will have thousands of new HIV infections on their consciences.

Hold them accountable!

We have had 37 previous posts entitled Hold Them Accountable, in which I have called for prosecutors, judges, and parole officials to be held accountable for crimes committed by people who could and should have already been behind bars. Well, at least one parole official has had at least the grace to resign for her actions, though it is my belief that she should be behind bars herself. Continue reading →

Sometimes you just have to be an [insert slang term for the rectum here] to do things right. "Nice guy" policies have led to disaster in Philly.

Philadelphia Inquirer website main page, March 25, 2024.

This site has previously noted the open-air drug market in the Kensington section of Philadelphia; with published photos of junkies shooting up right on the street in front of SEPTA’s Allegheny Avenue train station, it’s pretty difficult not to notice. The government of Mexico has actually used photos of Kensington in ads to discourage drug use in Mexico! And Philly’s George Soros-sponsored, police-hating, and softer-than-Charmin-on-crime District Attorney Larry Krasner has actually filed suit to stop efforts to fight crime in Kensington and on SEPTA.

But, rather than far-left Helen Gym Flaherty, whom hard-leftists Will Bunch, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, The American Prospect, have supported, and only slightly-less-leftist Rebecca Rhynhart McDuff, whom The Philadelphia Inquirer endorsed, the actual voters in the City of Brotherly Love voted for the tougher-on-crime Cherelle Parker Mullins[1]None of the female candidates for Mayor in Philadelphia had shown enough respect to their husbands to have taken their husbands’ names, though they certainly appreciated their husbands’ … Continue reading. And thus the Inky is having to take note of Mrs Mullins efforts to do one of the promises on which she campaigned: clean up Kensington! Continue reading →
