It was thanks to a tweet from Daniel Pearson, the chief editorial writer for The Philadelphia Inquirer that I saw this story.
Parents are charged after their son, 7, is struck dead in a car accident
Jessica Ivey and Samuele Jenkins were charged two days after their son Legend died from injuries caused by being struck by a Jeep on May 27
By the numbers, homicides are significantly down in the City of Brotherly Love, but as much as the total number of crimes reported are down, we have to remember: the only acceptable amount of crime is zero.
With reports like this, it’s hard to believe the number of homicides is down:
Ballistics tests show five guns were fired in Lemon Hill shooting that struck 11 people, police say
Philly police now believe five guns were fired in the shooting in Fairmount Park on Memorial Day.

Normally my crime articles go under the heading “You in a heap o’ trouble, boy,” or sometimes “girl,” in homage to that iconic southern expression, but, alas!, Mr Stephen Jones, formerly Democratic Leader of Philadelphia’s 59th Ward, is in far less of a heap o’ trouble than he should be for his offense.
I guess that he has friends in high places!

I have said it before: if we had social media back in 1944, the Usual Suspects wopuld have been decrying the violence and whining that Germany was defeated, that there was no need to continue the march into Germany proper, and think of all of the poor, innocent civilians who would be killed! Had such people been around then, they wouldn’t have cared that their calls for a “Ceasefire Now!” would have left der Führer and his henchmen alive and in power, and a couple of the concentration camps in place, but still . . . .
This morning’s story is what piqued The Philadelphia Inquirer’s far-left columnist’s ire: Continue reading
Philadelphia Police Officers and FOP members block District Attorney Larry Krasner from entering the hospital to meet with slain Police Corporal James O’Connor’s family, because it was the District Attorney who had not kept Cpl. O’Connor’s killer in jail when he could have.
I wrote, on May Day, that I would be “completely unsurprised if The Philadelphia Inquirer in general, and far-left columnist Will Bunch individually endorse(d)” the city’s George Soros-sponsored, police-hating and criminal-loving District Attorney, Larry Krasner, for re-nomination. Well, I am completely unsurprised! Continue reading
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
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?
Conestoga High School teacher facing 63 charges for allegedly having sex with student
Michelle Mercogliano, a special education teacher at Conestoga High School, was charged by the Tredyffrin Township police.
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]
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?”
