Sometimes you just have to be an [insert slang term for the rectum here] to do things right "Collateral arrests" are good arrests!

The old-line newspapers only rarely publish outright lies. Rather, their bias — and they all have an editorial bias! — shows not in actual reporting, but in what they choose to report, and choose not to cover.

And so it is with The Philadelphia Enquirer. No, that’s not how it’s actually spelled, but RedState writer Mike Miller called it the Enquirer, probably by mistake, so I didn’t originate it. However, reminiscent of the National Enquirer as it is, I thought it very apt.

Well, the Inquirer, to use the proper spelling, loves them some illegal immigration, and naturally the newspaper’s website main page was filled with such stories on Sunday morning: Continue reading →

Too old? Our 78-year-old President is getting things done, and done in a hurry.

The money line was actually the last paragraph:

Unlike Trump 1.0, when bureaucrats frequently ignored the administration and stymied its agenda, this time around, the lesson has been learned. Resistance is being met with immediate action. Gottlieb may very well hit the leftist podcast circuit, dining out on his reputation as a “martyr” and “truth teller,” but the lesson will not be lost on other people who aren’t anxious to follow that path.

It seems that the current Trump Administration isn’t taking disobedience by subordinates laying down, but by laying down the law: toe the line, or hit the road.

President Trump is doing what the American people want him to do A clear majority want the illegal immigrants kicked out!

If illegal immigrants are now staying away from work, because they are afraid that ICE will show up, nab them, and deport them, doesn’t that mean:

  • The illegal immigrants will quickly run out of money;
  • When the illegals run out of money, they’ll quickly run out of food and shelter; which means
  • The illegals will realize that they have to leave the United States on their own, and self-deport.

How would this not be a good thing?

Our #FreedomOfSpeech is different from that of other countries, and we thank the Lord for that! We need to defend our freedom of speech against the left who would restrict it

What would happen to you if you tore up and burned a copy of the Holy Bible on the steps of St Patrick’s Cathedral in Manhattan? What would happen to you if you dropped a Crucifix into a jar of urine, and photographed it, claiming it to be art?

There would be people claiming that you were a religious bigot, who ought to be thrown in jail, but you’d actually face no legal charges. Some people might think you were headed straight to Hell, but no one would actually try to send you there.

What would happen to you if you participated in, or perhaps even led, a protest March in support of Hamas or the Palestinians in New York or Washington or foul, fetid, fuming, foggy, filthy Philadelphia? As long as the protest march was peaceable, there might be some hecklers shouting from the sidewalks as the protest march passed, but you’d not be facing any charges. If you were in the country illegally, now that Donald Trump is President — it wouldn’t have happened under our previous President or Kamala Harris Emhoff, had she been elected — you might get sent back home, but that’s it. And if you are young and pretty, NBC News might even publish a celebratory glamour photo of you!

But, if you lived in Sweden, legally, you could be charged with a crime. Salwan Momika, an Iraqi refugee legally granted protection there, was charged with incitement against an ethnic group over the 2023 burning of a Quran, and was due to be sentenced Thursday morning. Continue reading →

Jenice Armstrong is all kind of sadz. Target, which already has plenty of 'diversity' in their company, is ending their 'DEI' program

My far too expensive Philadelphia Inquirer subscription. I could use a senior citizen’s discount right about now.

As I look at thinning the herd on some of my subscriptions, I note that I am paying more for The Philadelphia Inquirer than for The New York Times and The Washington Post, both of which are better newspapers. But, not only am I more connected to the City of Brotherly Love, the Inky does provide some unrivaled entertainment!

I’m going to miss shopping at Target

Now that Target has announced a rollback of its diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, I don’t know if I’ll ever step back inside.

Will Bunch equates deporting illegal immigrants to their home countries with the Nazis sending Jews to the gas chamber

Monday was World Holocaust Remembrance Day, and the Turner Classic Movies Channel played the movie Exodus, the not entirely by-the-book movie inspired by Leon Uris’ historical fiction novel of the same name. I am rereading that book, which is on my Kindle stack, these evenings, and have thus far resisted the temptation to spend $66.63, plus $3.00 for shipping, to buy the International Collectors Library hardcover version. 🙁

Naturally, The Philadelphia Inquirer’s hard-left columnist tried to use it to slam President Donald Trump’s policy of enforcing our immigration laws:

In New York, the Center for Jewish History opened up a three-month special exhibit that completely recreates the cramped, secret attic annex where the Amsterdam teen Anne Frank hid with her family and other Jews for two years and wrote her famous diary, before dying of typhus in a concentration camp at age 15. It recaptures the place where, 82 years ago this month, Frank wrote: ”Terrible things are happening outside. At any time of night and day, poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes … Families are torn apart: men, women and children are separated. Children come home from school to find their parents have disappeared.”

In Chicago, terrible things are happening right now, as federal agents and police roam working-class blocks to carry out the initial raids of the mass deportation of undocumented immigrants that new President Donald Trump promised his voters in the 2024 campaign. Once again, people targeted by their country as undesirables are hiding in attics or cowering in basements, hoping to avoid a knock on the door. Continue reading →

President Trump finally catches up to what we’ve been saying for years Gaza should be emptied out and cleaned up, the President said. I agree, but cleaned up by the Israelis, and settled by them.

I have been saying for years now that the Israelis should have expelled every last ‘Palestinian’ from Judea, Samaria, and Gaza following the 1967 conquest of the territory. It would have been a humanitarian disaster, but it would have been over 57½ years ago, leaving the Arabs with a chance to build their lives again without being under Israeli occupation, and Israel with shortened, more defensible borders.

Now it seems that President Donald Trump has caught up with me! From The Wall Street Journal: Continue reading →

The Patriot Front March for Life The left wax apoplectic!

My Twitter feed was filled with images of the Patriot Front marching at Fridays March for Life in Washington, DC. Much of it was condemnatory, and a lot of conservatives were repeating the meme that these were “Feds,” by which they meant federal law enforcement officers, rather than real civilians. I can see, at least in appearance, why people might conclude that. Robert Stacy McCain addressed that issue in “Is the ‘Patriot Front’ a Fed PsyOp?” He cited the very liberal Southern Poverty Law Center, a group which hates all things conservative, normal, and moral, telling us:

Like other hate and extremist groups, the need to recruit and grow their members makes PF a target for antifascist activists who attempt to infiltrate white nationalist groups to expose and disrupt their activities. Since 2018, antifascist activists have infiltrated PF at least five times, which has led to journalist and activist networks obtaining thousands of documents, including internal chat logs, audio and video recordings, and photographs. The laxed operational security measures of PF that are responsible for these infiltrations led to the identification of more than 130 current and former members since 2019.

President Trump cancels the left’s electric vehicle policies

I have always held that if someone wants to buy a plug-in electric vehicle, if he can afford one, he has every right to do so. Alas, Our Betters in the former Biden Administration — and I do so love referring to it as the former Biden Administration! — thought that no, it ought not to be a matter of personal choice or preference, but that people should eventually be required to buy a plug-in electric vehicle. Our American left are pro-choice on exactly one thing.

Trump ended the EV mandate. Here’s what it means for the auto industry.

The transition to electric vehicles is a years-long process that is already underway and faces fierce competition from abroad.
