How do you ‘normalize’ this?

Do you remember the names of William and Zachary Zulock? We covered the case of the two men males “married” to each other who adopted two young boys for the purposes of child rape and production of child pornography, not so much about their crimes, but on the notable lack of interest by the credentialed media in covering so sensational a story.

We did point out that Zachary Zulock was “a Biden voter and ardent Black Lives Matter advocate who championed left-wing causes on Facebook”, so we knew that he was obviously guilty.

The only good news in that story is that, over a year later, both men males pleaded guilty and were each sentenced to 100 years in prison without the possibility of parole. We saw no national media outlets reporting that, either.

If the Zulock’s case was extreme, it’s not as rare as you might think. From this morning’s Philadelphia Inquirer:

You in a heap o’ trouble, boy! Yet another teacher in trouble over sex with minors

Another day, another teacher accused of sexual misconduct.

On Thursday morning, my good friend Matt Van Swol noted that that Jesse Cassino, 42, a former Teacher of the Year in Elizabeth City, North Carolina, has been arrested on multiple charges of sexual exploitation of minors over child pornography. And Thursday afternoon, The Philadelphia Inquirer had this story:

Paul Green will close rock schools, following accusations of sexual misconduct involving a teen student

You in a heap o’ trouble, boy! Has lenient treatment really done the bad guys any favors?

We have previously reported on the mass shooting in the Gray’s Ferry section of the City of Brotherly Love, and now The Philadelphia Inquirer has reported an arrest in the case.

One man has been arrested for his role in Grays Ferry mass shooting that left 12 shot

Terrell Frazier is among multiple gunmen who shot 12 people on the 1500 bock of South Etting Street, police said.

Philadelphia police on Thursday said they have arrested one of the gunmen involved in a mass shooting in Grays Ferry that left three young men dead and nine others wounded. Continue reading

The Philadelphia Inquirer harbors illegal immigrants There is plenty of dignity in obeying the law; there is none in breaking it.

As we have previously noted, The Philadelphia Inquirer is very much on the side of the illegal immigrants. The good journolists[1]The spelling ‘journolist’ or ‘journolism’ comes from JournoList, an email list of 400 influential and politically liberal journalists, the exposure of which called into question their … Continue reading there, from the far-loeft Will Bunch to even the more moderate Daniel Pearson, the newspaper’s chief editorial writer, all want the illegals — at The First Street Journal we do not use the euphemism ‘undocumented’ — to be allowed to stay here.

But now they might have just fouled up:

‘The last thing that is protecting my dignity.’ A South Philly mother talks about life under sanctuary.

1 The spelling ‘journolist’ or ‘journolism’ comes from JournoList, an email list of 400 influential and politically liberal journalists, the exposure of which called into question their objectivity. I use the term ‘journolism’ frequently when writing about media bias.

Y’all in a heap o’ trouble, boys!

As I have previously mentioned, I check Bluesky so that you don’t have to, and it was on Bluesky that I found this skeet from Ian Hansen.

Mr Hansen, who posts links to a lot of conservative sites, but has only 391 followers, tries valiantly to educate in ineducable over there, but if it weren’t for his skeet, I would never have heard of this story:

7-Year-Old Girl Repeatedly Raped, Molested by Guatemalan Father, Friend – Police

Two men from Guatemala are facing charges for prolonged sexual abuse of a 7-year-old girl in Florida, authorities say.

Even a Participation Trophy is Too Big a Burden for the Special Snowflakes™

I played football when I was in high school, but I was nowhere near the best player on the team; I’m neither the strongest, nor the fastest, nor the most athletic person around. Nevertheless, I tried and did my best. Now, in the age of ‘Participation Trophies,’ President Donald Trump has revived the Presidential Physical Fitness Test for public schools: Continue reading

If you are not calling on Hamas to surrender and release the hostages, your cries about people suffering in Gaza are worthless.

Armand Domalewski describes himself, in his Twitter biography, as a “Data scientist” living in San Francisco, and “Co-Founder, YIMBYs for Harris”. He’s actually followed by several real people I know, so perhaps he’s not an actual Palestinian bot, like so many of the other pro-Hamas posters on social media, but in this, he might as well be.

Mr Domalewski tweeted that the headline on the Babylon Bee satire site, “Gaza Said To Be Starving But Not ‘Release The Hostages’ Starving,” “is an evil, evil, evil headline”, But, even from a sarcasm site, it’s an accurate headline. The only thing that needs to happen for tons and tons of food and other aid to flow into Gaza is for Hamas to surrender and release the hostages. But the Palestinians and their useful idiots on social media would rather keep on fighting an unwinnable war. Continue reading

Every once in a while, the left will say the quiet part out loud

In his Twitter — I refuse to call it 𝕏 — biography, Nichloas Decker describes himself as “GMU econ PhD student, liberal, aspie, bi. I post interesting papers. Michael Kremer stan. I ❤️ optimal auction design. Spend more on drugs. Open borders now!” He includes an ‘LGBTQ+’ rainbow flag, a globalist icon, and a Ukrainian flag.

So, what does a liberal, Asperger’s syndrome afflicted, bisexual think about freedom and democracy? Well, he doesn’t like it very much, tweeting: Continue reading

The journolism of The Philadelphia Inquirer

We previously reported on how The Philadelphia Inquirer told readers about yet another two murder suspects being caught on surveillance cameras but not yet arrested, yet, despite the newspaper having the suspect’s photo available and publicizing the Philadelphia Police Department’s call for help from the general public, the newspaper declined to publish the photos of the suspects, to possibly help in their apprehension.

Cue Britney Spears and “Oops, I did it again”: Continue reading
