Tuesday morning’s lead editorial in The Philadelphia Inquirer is a complaint that President Trump is fighting a war on the truth by claiming that the credentialed media often publish #FakeNews, while at the same time publishing, as an ostensibly ‘straight news’ story that is actually a sob story about a convicted murderer who wants to get out of prison.

Killadelphia: You in a heap o’ trouble, boy!
Zakah Johnson, 15, photo via KYW News Radio. You know the Inky would never publish his mugshot.
Mama, just killed a man
Put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger, now he’s dead
Mama, life had just begun
But now I’ve gone and thrown it all away
Mama, ooh, didn’t mean to make you cry
If I’m not back again this time tomorrow
Carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters
I will embed the video below the fold in this article; I don’t want it cluttering up the main page.
District Attorney Larry Krasner said, as reported by The Philadelphia Inquirer,
his defense work doesn’t make him soft on crime, but rather someone who can differentiate between redeemable defendants and hardened criminals.
So, I wonder whether Mr Krasner will see this 15-year-old suspect as a “redeemable defendant” or an already “hardened criminal”?
15-year-old arrested for murdering man driving for DoorDash, authorities say
Even The Philadelphia Inquirer has questions about defending Larry Krasner At what point does the newspaper give up on a criminal-loving and police-hating prosecutor?
We have frequently noted The Philadelphia Inquirer’s seemingly unqualified support for the city’s George Soros-sponsored — $1.7 million in 2017 and $1.2 million in 2021 — criminal-loving, police-hating District Attorney, Larry Krasner, but even the Inky has been unable to avoid covering the news about Mr Krasner’s problems.
The newspaper said of Mr Krasner, in 2017:
Krasner says his defense work doesn’t make him soft on crime, but rather someone who can differentiate between redeemable defendants and hardened criminals.
Yet the District Attorney was upset that two police officers, in two separate cases, received lower sentences, even though it was conceded that they posed no future threats. Apparently Mr Krasner doesn’t see police officers as “redeemable defendants.”
Now there’s this:
DA’s office says two prosecutors who said Krasner told them to ‘protect the office’ in controversial case are ‘ill-informed’
This is what happens when the George Soros-sponsored, criminal-loving and police-hating “progressive” prosecutors get elected
On Thursday morning, the Editorial Board of The Philadelphia Inquirer wrote:
This board has long supported (District Attorney Larry) Krasner’s efforts to examine claims of wrongful convictions. But the board does not support cutting corners or lying to the court.
There is an assumption behind that short paragraph, an assumption that there are wrongful convictions. And while the Board do not support “cutting corners or lying to the court,” that very same Editorial Board headlined, on July 2nd, “Krasner isn’t perfect. The Pa. Supreme Court’s ruling on his exoneration push is worse. Ordering the state’s top prosecutor to oversee conviction reviews by Philadelphia’s district attorney is an unprecedented remedy that may create more problems than it solves.” What are we to conclude other than the Board is less concerned with not “cutting corners or lying to the court” than they are with freeing more convicted criminals?
It’s not as though some of the previously convicted murderers that Mr Krasner got freed didn’t go on to kill other people. Continue reading
Yes, we disagree with Democrats, but I never thought that they could be this stupid
It has been said that presidential candidates like to pick vice presidential running mates who will not overshadow them, and such is frequently done by picking running mates who are dumber than them. Yes, I know: I have used that opening line before, and yes, I used it in reference to Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota, and his pardon of Tou Lue Vang, a previously convicted child rapist, to try to save him from being deported to Laos. Mr Vang had serially raped a Hmong girl between her ages of ten and twelve years, something he admitted to detectives:
When a detective interviewed Mr. Vang, he acknowledged having had sexual contact with the girl and called it a “minor thing,” according to a criminal complaint. Mr. Vang blamed cultural norms in Thailand, according to the complaint.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio wasn’t going to put up with that s(tuff), revoked Mr Vang’s legal status, and he was quickly shipped back to Laos.
You would think that even a vice presidential candidate selected because he was dumber than Kamala Harris Emhoff would figure, at that point, OK, he’s gone, there’s nothing more we can do about it. Remember: Mr Vang was a convicted child rapist! Continue reading
You in a heap o’ trouble, girl! You can't cure stupid, but the internet can make you even dumber
There’s a popular internet meme that we used to think a lack of information made people stupid, but nope, it wasn’t that!
Public school teachers are supposed to be educated, with at least a baccalaureate degree, and frequently an expectation that you must work on your master’s. From the case of Mary Kay Letourneau in the 1990s until now, teachers are taught about and warned against sexual contact, any sexual contact, including just flirting, with students. Most states have laws which hold teachers accountable for sexual contact with students, even those who have reached the age of sexual consent, due to the positions of authority teachers are presumed to hold over students. Yet we keep getting the stories over and over and over again:
Perv substitute teacher sent 14-year-old naked snaps every time she showered: ‘God, I want you so bad’

Ironic twist for Canadian woman accused of slapping Jersey Shore teen for wearing MAGA attire
By Chris Nesi | Wednesday, July 15, 2026 | 12:51 PM EDT
The Canadian woman who slapped a teenager at the Jersey Shore because she didn’t like the girl’s MAGA clothing was arrested by ICE and brought to Delaney Hall in Newark — the very immigration detention center her lefty husband has railed about on social media.Kaitlyn E. Tracey, 33, was taken into custody after she filmed herself confronting two girls wearing “patriotic colored” sweatpants over Fourth of July weekend at Point Pleasant, one of whom she struck across the face and body, cops said.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo wasn’t really concerned about legality until it seemed like he would get caught! He wasn't concerned with the law until it seemed he might get to Make Mexico Great Again!
The credentialed media rarely tell us outright lies, but sometimes you have to look pretty closely to find the parts they don’t want for you to know. From this morning’s Philadelphia Inquirer:
Getting ‘legal status’ in America is harder than most people think. Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was killed by ICE before he could.
A resident of the U.S. for 35 years, the construction worker was fatally shot by ICE agents while still trying to navigate the nation’s arcane immigration system.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was killed by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents Tuesday in Houston. He arrived in the U.S. from Mexico 35 years ago, built a construction business, and became one of five people killed by federal agents carrying out President Donald Trump’s plan of mass deportation.

The Capitol kerfuffle is almost over My good friends at The Philadelphia Inquirer will be appalled
Zachary Rehl following his release from a wholly unjustified sentence, via Wikipedia Commons.
On January 20, 2025, President Trump pardoned the vast majority of the Capitol kerfufflers, but there were 14 for whom he only commuted their sentences, and did not pardon their convictions. Now four remaining injustices have been corrected: Continue reading
