Killadelphia: I check Bluesky so you don’t have to! The last thing the criminal-loving and police-hating Larry Krasner wants is more law enforcement

According to the Census Bureau, the population of Philadelphia was 1,573,916 as of July 1, 2024, while the Philadelphia Police Department reported that there had been 269 homicides in the city during all of 2024. According to my precise calculations[1]269 ÷ 15.73916 = 17.091128116112931058582541889148, that meant the City of Brotherly Love had a homicide rate of 17.09 per 100,000 population. Apparently, District Attorney Larry Krasner thinks that’s just hunky-dory, a perfectly acceptable figure.

In a skeet on Bluesky, the city’s George Soros-sponsored, criminal-loving and police-hating District Attorney, Larry Krasner, posted a bit from an interview with CNN, saying:

The 10th Amendment says he cannot take over the Philadelphia Police Department as he is doing in D.C. D.C. is different. It’s not a state. Pennsylvania is a state, and Philadelphia is its biggest city. Our police department is controlled by the mayor. And oh, trust me, this mayor does not work for Donald Trump, and neither do we.

So, we will stand on this constitutional right that has been there forever. We will stand on the reality that you cannot claim, It is an emergency, when Philadelphia, as of today, has the lowest number of homicides in over 50 years. We may set the record, the record, for lowest crime overall in Philadelphia for more than 50 years, and at the same time we have some of the lowest incarceration. That’s not an emergency.

What could possibly go wrong?

For our good friends on the left, accepting transgenderism seems like almost a requirement. The left have mostly — there have been a few exceptions — decided that, when it comes to anything even remotely related to sex, they must take the furthest left position possible, or they will somehow be legitimizing the positions of us wicked reich-wing conservatives, and, of course, the totally evil Donald Trump. The Nation even called anything less the Rise of a New Confederacy!

From The Washington Post:

Loudoun schools to maintain gender policies despite Education Dept. order

Loudoun County schools voted to maintain their gender policy, allowing transgender students to use facilities matching their identity, despite Education Department demands for change.

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.

Democrisy! Democratic congresscritter, a brave fighter for the Little People, shows off her privilege

Representative Brittany Pettersen Silverii (D-CO 7th District) wants us to know that she is a fighter, fighter! for the Little People, us commoners, and thus she tweeted this message:

As a mom, sometimes you just make it work. I’ve been on a waitlist for childcare, so Sam has been flying back and forth with me to DC. He’s taken 24 flights in 6 months!

Finding safe, accessible childcare shouldn’t be this hard. In Congress, I’m fighting for families like ours!

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

How stupid are the “Occupy Democrats”? And how stupid do they believe their followers are?

One would think that anyone with an IQ above room temperature would have understood that this photo posted by the Occupy Democrats on Facebook is utterly stupid.

  • If Donald Trump’s tax returns did expose crimes, there were eight years under the Obama Administration, plus four more during the Biden Administration, to have charged him with crimes.
  • If the ‘Putin transcripts’ revealed treason, both the Obama and Biden Administrations would have exposed them.
  • If the White House visitor logs proved corruption, the Biden Administration would have leaked them.
  • And if the Epstein list implicated Mr Trump, the Biden and later Harris campaigns would have weaponized it.

Sometimes you just have to be an [insert slang term for the rectum here] to do things right

Our good friends on the left cheered when the Supreme Court let stand a lower court ruling, in Lozano v City of Hazleton, that only the federal government has any power over immigration, invalidating a Hazleton, Pennsylvania ordinance which prohibited landlords from leasing to immigrants who could not prove their legal status.

Why do the left always root for the bad guys? When the left tell you who they are, believe them!

We have previously asked why the left always root for the bad guys, pointing out that “heroes” like Michael Brown, George Floyd, Freddie Gray, and Trayvon Martin were all bad guys, and noting how The Philadelphia Inquirer’s far-left columnist wants another bad guy, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, someone even he admitted is an “undocumented immigrant (who) was no angel.”

Now comes Representative Pramila Jayapal of Washington state, one of the ‘squadristi‘, and she is just beside herself that the Trump Administration is deporting convicted criminals!

The Trump administration just dropped 8 immigrants — who they were previously holding in a shipping container in Djibouti — into war torn South Sudan.

Cruel. Inhumane. There aren’t words to describe how disgusting this is.

We’ll keep fighting.

My good friend William Teach reported on just what angels these eight deportees are, including this line:

They have been convicted of various crimes, with four of them convicted of murder, the Department of Homeland Security has said.

These are the guys for whom the distinguished gentlelady from Washington said, “We’ll keep fighting.”

When the left tell you who they are, believe them!

Irreconcilable differences

We have previously reported on Will Thomas, the male swimmer for the University of Pennsylvania, who decided that he was really a woman, started calling himself “Lia”, and went on to compete on Penn’s women’s swim team. A 6’3″ tall man male, ranked 462nd, he quickly became number one in women’s swimming. Why, it’s almost as though there are real physical differences between males and females, differences which make a difference in sports and physical activities.

There are many, many things which made something of a difference in the campaign between former President Donald Trump and then-Vice President Kamala Harris Emhoff, and one of the issues hammered on by our then-former President was the far-left’s insistence that ‘transgender’ women, like Mr Thomas, really are women. Mr Trump won the election, and has been putting his policies into place.
