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.

From Bohemian Rhapsody:

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”?

Canucks can get Trump Derangement Syndrome, too!

Someone get these clowns a MAGA hat!

Our great neighbor to the north is a virtual paradise, or so they would have us believe. Free health care, though you have to wait in months-long lines, strict gun control, way better airports than some of the ones Americans have, Air Canada rather than Delta or United, beautiful, wide-open vistas, across their frozen fruited plains. You’d think that they’d have little reason to care about the politics of we unworthy Americans, everything is just so groovy-cool up there. But, if you thought that, you’d be wrong!

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.

by Luis F. Carrasco | Columnist | Monday, July 13, 2026 | 6:01 AM EDT

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.

In the wake of the Graham Platner scandals, we mustn’t forget the danger posed by James Talarico The fact that he's such a nice guy can't be used to cover his horrendous political beliefs

At the moment, 2026 Democratic senatorial nominee Graham Platner of Maine — my mother’s home state — has been sucking up all of the news coverage, following the accusations by a fellow Democratic woman that he broke into her house and raped her. The Democrats were OK with his Totenkopf death head tattoo, with his cheating on his wife, with toxic social media posts, and his blatant anti-Semitism, but finally, finally! the Democrats are abandoning him. Subsequent to that, The Washington Post published complaints by a former girlfriend that Mr Platner covertly removed his condom, which she had required for consent to sex with him, and continued to f(ornicate) with her, something which is a crime, albeit only a civil offense, in Maine.

They shouldn’t be surprised. They loved the charismatic bad boy who promotes socialism and hates Jews, because many of today’s Democrats promote socialism and hate Jews, but the trouble with the bad boys is that you never really know when the next bad story will drop.

But I’ll let other people write about Mr Platner and his troubles. I am more concerned about 2026 Democratic senatorial nominee James Talarico of Texas. We have previously noted Mr Talarico, a seminarian with the Presbyterian Church USA. Mr Talarico pretends to be tells us that he is a devout Christian, but he supports prenatal infanticide, using the story of the Annunciation (Luke 1:26-38) as a supposedly Christian argument for it, supports “trans children”, and The Advocate, a ‘magazine’ which supports homosexuality and transgenderism, has said the candidate “has positioned himself as a fierce queer ally, even using the Bible to advocate in favor of LGBTQ+ rights.” Continue reading →

John Walker Flynt wants to have surgery after surgery, to hide the evidence normal people can plainly see A simulacrum of a woman will never be a real woman

John Walker Flynt is a male who has decided that he’s really a woman and goes by the name of Brianna Wu. He has some fame due to ‘gamergate,’ something about which Robert Stacy McCain is far more knowledgeable than I am, and about which I confess to having no interest at all. Mr Flynt — as per our published Stylebook, The First Street Journal always refers to the ‘transgendered’ by their real names — has been legally ‘married’ to Frank Wu, a successful science fiction and fantasy artist since 2008.

On Sunday, July 5th, Mr Flynt told us about the problems faced by men males trying to pass themselves off as women, perhaps in terms he didn’t really appreciate.

A lot of trans women, myself included, have gotten a lot more serious about our looks in the last few years.

It think it’s a direct outcome of the anti-trans movement. You’re going to try to hunt us down and take away our access to civil society? Well, we’re going to camouflage ourselves in that society even better.

What the writer is admitting is that men males who really, really, really want to be women still don’t look like women. He’s telling us that fake boobs and a faux vagina and a (usually hideous) dress still only rarely make ‘transwomen’ look like real women, and that they are going to try to “camouflage”, his word, not mine, themselves even better.

Why do I pay $6.99 a week for a newspaper that hates our country? They hate Western civilization and, of course, Donald Trump!

My digital subscription to The Philadelphia Inquirer hits my bank account for $27.96 every four weeks, or $363.48 every year. The City of Brotherly Love is where the members of the Continental Congress met and finally declared our independence from King George and Great Britain 250 years and one day ago. Yet our nation’s third oldest continuously published daily newspaper used the Semiquincentennial primarily to trash the United States of America. Continue reading →

The ‘transgendered’ would find their lives far simpler if they’d stop trying to make their beliefs other people’s business

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” ― George Orwell, 1984

Living on a rural farm, in a small, mostly rural county, in a very politically conservative state, I only rarely see the ‘transgendered.’ I saw one such gentleman pretending to be a lady, as a customer, in the Corto Lima restaurant in downtown Lexington several years ago, and another such gentleman working as a waiter in the now-several-years-closed Applebee’s on Bypass Road in Richmond. I thought such was humorous, because neither one came anywhere close to ‘passing’ as a real woman, but I had no interactions with either of them. They were doing what they wanted to do, in a manner which had no impact on me at all. Unlike the “Party’s” most essential command, I accepted the evidence of my eyes. Continue reading →

Democrisy! Democrats claim, without any proof, that President Trump is a sexual predator, but then pardon a convicted child rapist to try to keep him from being deported. Shouldn't The New York Times' headline be "Minnesota Pardons Child Rapist Who Was Set to Be Deported"?

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. That hasn’t often been the case with Republicans, as Ronald Reagan chose the elder George Bush, who was very intelligent and qualified, the younger George Bush chose Richard Cheney, and Donald Trump picked J D Vance. But among the Democrats, yeah, it seems likely: Bill Clinton choosing Al Gore, Barack Obama running with Joe Biden, Mr Biden then running with Kamala Harris Emhoff, and Mrs Emhoff then going to the very bottom of the barrel, picking tampon Tim Walz.

From The New York Times:

Minnesota Pardons Sexual Abuser Who Was Set to Be Deported

Another victory for normal people! The Supreme Court did the right thing, but the left will never see it that way.

On this last day of ‘Pride month,’ the United States Supreme Court voted that common sense and normal behavior were inshrined in our laws and Constitution. Naturally, the left are aghast. From NBC News:

Supreme Court upholds bans on transgender athletes in girls’ and women’s sports

In the latest of a string of losses for LGBTQ rights, the high court allowed states to bar transgender athletes from girls’ and women’s sports.

WASHINGTON — Delivering another major blow to LGBTQ rights, the Supreme Court on Tuesday upheld state laws that ban transgender athletes from participating in girls’ and women’s sports.
