No matter how much you hate the credentialed media, you do not hate them enough! If we cannot trust the credentialed media to tell us the truth on one simple thing, how can we trust them to tell us the truth on anything else?

Donald Trump certainly enraged the credentialed media during his first campaign for President by calling them #FakeNews. WLKY, the CBS television affiliate in Louisville, Kentucky, at least skewed the headline and story enough for them not to be lies:

Person charged with murder after man fatally shot in Buechel

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — A man is dead and a suspect is behind bars after a shooting outside of a home in Buechel.

The shooting happened in the 200 block of Derby Avenue, down the street from Buechel Park and just off Bardstown Road. We’re told the 911 call came in just before 2 p.m. Continue reading →

Shane Seiber isn’t the first Philly cop killed directly due to Larry Krasner’s policies James O'Connor IV was killed in 2020 by a known criminal Mr Krasner treated leniently

We have previously noted the shooting of two Philadelphia police officers, one of whom, officer Shane Seiber, died from his wounds.

The apprehended suspect, Eric Lewis, had a previous criminal record, but all misdemeanors, which did not prohibit from owning a firearm. Then came the later news: Mr Lewis had previously been charged with murder, but was acquitted, and the city’s George Soros-sponsored, criminal-loving and police-hating District Attorney, Larry Krasner, was quick to blame the Philadelphia Police Department for the failed prosecution.

Philly police commissioner blasts DA Krasner, calls comments over alleged cop killer’s past acquittal ‘unacceptable’

Police Commissioner Kevin Bethel said the public finger-pointing in the aftermath of Officer Shane Seiber’s death was “absolutely unacceptable.”

Cornell University channels Faber College "You can’t hold a whole fraternity responsible for the behavior of a few, sick twisted individuals. For if you do, then shouldn’t we blame the whole fraternity system? And if the whole fraternity system is guilty, then isn’t this an indictment of our educational institutions in general?"

My good friend Robert Stacy McCain wrote:

No national controversy is complete until Amanda Marcotte has made a fool of herself about it, and the feminist writer has gotten a good head start on the so-called “Cornell 7” case. The sordid tale of an Ivy League orgy that devolved into accusations of sexual assault prompted Marcotte to indict “Trumpism” as somehow explaining skeptical reactions to the story.

That is an absolutely true statement, and Mr McCain was hardly the only person to make fun of Miss Marcotte’s Salon post blaming the (alleged) rape of Lucy Craig — her identity has been widely disseminated, so I will not use the “Jane Doe” identity concealing pseudonym — on evil, reich-wing conservatives. There are plenty of rape accusations which have been real rapes, but for some strange reason, the author picks the ones which are highly questionable to try to make her case. Remember: she tried to make a case against the falsely accused members of the Duke lacrosse team two decades ago, only to have to eat her words — not really — as the truth came out.

That thing that never happens has happened again

We have been saying this for a while now, and it seems that every passing day reaffirms the truth of it: if a person is, in the characterization by Colonel Batguano in Dr Strangelove, a “deviated prevert” in one thing, the probabilities that he will be a pervert in something else are very high.

Woman accused of sexually abusing minor during North Fort Myers house showing

by Layza Pinero Resto | Thursday, October 8, 2026 | 1:13 PM EDT

NORTH FORT MYERS, Fla. — Deputies with the Lee County Sheriff’s Office arrested a woman accused of inappropriately touching an underage victim during a house showing.

Note that the Gulf Coast News referred to the suspect as a woman, and uses the feminine pronouns in reference to him further down in the story, but the suspect, one Uriel Santiago Perez, is actually male, and is so listed in the police report. Continue reading →

How is this not fraud? Will anyone be held accountable?

If this had been done by the Trump Administration, the Editorial Board of The Philadelphia Inquirer, and far-left columnist Will Bunch would be screaming for a Special Persecutor Prosecutor to throw everyone in jail, but the Opinion section of the newspaper has nothing at all about this:

Students who moved out of the country were put back on Philly schools’ rolls

The reenrollment came just before an important funding deadline, as the district was grappling with lower-than-projected enrollment citywide.

I admit it: I never knew that Glenn Greenwald was a rabid anti-Semite!

I confess: I had previously thought of Glenn Greenwald as a journalist and a strong advocate for Freedom of Speech and of the Press. I never knew that he was a raging anti-Semite.

Mr Greenwald tweeted:

What was this IDF soldier doing in the West Bank?

The journalist knew, of course, exactly whet the “IDF soldier” was doing in Samaria, because the CNN article he linked told him: Continue reading →

The Philadelphia Inquirer and normalizing the abnormal The truth shall set you free, but 'transgender acceptance' requires people to lie

Philadelphia Badlands. Photo via Philadelphia Inquirer Click to enlarge.

When my daughters were contemplating where they would go to college, I absolutely vetoed Temple University, not due to the school itself, but because I knew where it was located, in Philadelphia’s combat zone. The city has since cleaned up Broad Street, but go just one block deep off of Broad, and the same badlands that had been cleaned up on the main drag persisted.

It was that personal experience which drew me to this article, in Sunday’s Philadelphia Inquirer:

How Temple University failed my daughter on her first day of college

Denial is not just a river in Egypt Jill Biden says she's still clueless about her husband's condition

The Democrats used a picture of a smiling, robust-looking Joe Biden in their tweet proclaiming President Biden the winner of the debate, but their problem is that he was exposed as not robust, but a faltering and confused elderly man who is visibly sinking into dementia. Even The New York Times couldn’t hide the truth:

A Fumbling Performance, and a Panicking Party

President Biden’s shaky, halting debate performance has Democrats talking about replacing him on the ticket.

by Peter Baker | Thursday, June 27, 2024 | Updated: Friday, June 28, 2024 | 2:35 AM EDT

President Biden hoped to build fresh momentum for his re-election bid by agreeing to debate nearly two months before he is to be formally nominated. Instead, his halting and disjointed performance on Thursday night prompted a wave of panic among Democrats and reopened discussion of whether he should be the nominee at all.

Well, that was then, and this is now, slightly over two years later, and everything has been settled out. Millions of words have been written, including more than a few on this site, as well as Jake Tapper’s and Alex Thompson’s tell-nothing book claiming that they just didn’t know. Continue reading →

That thing that never happens has happened again

To avoid copyright infringements, I like to use posts on Twitter as illustrations, because the fact that the original author has allowed them to be retweeted means that I can use the images! Well, this time, rather than using Twitter, I used the one I sent to Bluesky, just to pull the leftists’ chains, but yeah, I put it on Twitter — I refuse to call it 𝕏 — as well.

Transgender Canadian golfer sends a blunt message to critics as victories over women pile up
