Could Daniel Pearson be a conservative? His politics are straight Democrat, but every once in a while he expresses conservative sentiments which are in line with civilized behavior

I have thrice speculated that Philadelphia Inquirer columnist and sometime editorial writer Daniel Pearson might be a conservative. He really isn’t, but for a liberal, and especially someone on the staff of the Inky, he is not only willing to interact with people with whom he disagrees, unlike Will Bunch, but actually supports conservative ideas on occasion. The newspaper has frequently supported the George Soros-sponsored, criminal-loving and police-hating District Attorney, but on this occasion he has dared to criticize Larry Krasner:

Krasner misses a chance to send a message against violence on SEPTA

On Oct. 26, 2023, Bernard Gribbin became the first city transit operator to die by gunfire while on the job. Family members called him “the best of the best,” and described the 48-year-old Army veteran as a man who loved Philadelphia, who proudly took out-of-town relatives on tours of the city when they came to visit, and who served the public by working as a bus operator — a demanding, underpaid, and utterly essential job.

I check Bluesky so you don’t have to! For our good friends on the left, "No one is above the law" apparently doesn't apply to illegal immigrants. Fortunately, President Trump is seeing to it that it does apply.

This site’s favorite whipping boy, The Philadelphia Inquirer’s far, far, far left columnist Will Bunch, who’s even crazier than Amanda Marcotte if such a thing is possible, has told us how important it is to enforce the law. We have previously noted how The Philadelphia Inquirer’s radical left columnist Will Bunch was adamant in his support for legality, railing against President Trump’s pardon of the January 6th Capitol kerfufflers, even though the vast majority of them had already been punished, already served their sentences, his indignation over the United States sinking drug trafficking boats rather than arresting the drug traffickers, and, as we reported in June of last year, his support for illegal immigrant and accused wife beater Kilmar Abrego Garcia, insisting that this illegal immigrant be given the full protection of the laws. He was all about the law when President Trump was eliminating drug trafficking boats coming from Venezuela, an action that Philadelphians should at least somewhat understand given the Hellhole that the Kensington neighborhood has become with strung out junkies sleeping on the sidewalks, in alleys and the Allegheny Avenue SEPTA station.

But, once again, Mr Bunch is complaining that we should not enforce the laws, not say that no one is above the law, when it comes to illegal immigration:

This quaint Pa. borough is a ‘speed trap’ nabbing immigrants for ICE

You in a heap o’ trouble boy! But judicial stupidity created at least one more victim

I might not have written about this, were it not for two paragraphs from Philly Crime Update:

Gerald Zalewski, 43, was sentenced Monday to an additional 2 to 7 years in state prison, on top of the 5 to 20-year sentence he received after pleading guilty in 2006 to sexually assaulting a 13-year-old in Montgomery County.

According to prosecutors, Zalewski fled the United States before his 2006 sentencing hearing and remained a fugitive until resurfacing in England, where he was later convicted of raping another 13-year-old in 2016.

We should never release murderers until their victims come back to life!

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.

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 →

To paraphrase what Mary McCarthy once said about Lillian Hellman, “Every word (Larry Krasner says) is a lie, including ‘and’ and ‘the’.”

Our nation’s third oldest, continuously-published daily newspaper, the winner of twenty Pultizer Prizes and the newspaper of record for the entire metropolitan area, has been doing what it can do defend the George Soros-sponsored, criminal-loving and police-hating District Attorney, Larry Krasner, but things have been falling apart for Mr Krasner so badly that even the Inky has to report on what has been happening.

One of DA Larry Krasner’s top advisers once sent $100 to a man in prison for murder who’s now appealing his conviction. It’s under investigation.

Yes, political party is important! RINOs are far preferable to Democrats claiming to be 'moderate'.

In 2014, then Kentucky Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes, the daughter of Jerry Lundergan, a former Kentucky Democratic chairman and state representative, was the Democratic nominee facing Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) in his re-election campaign. In the conservative Bluegrass State, Mrs Grimes was running a carefully tempered campaign, running as a moderate. In a race rated only “lean Republican,”[1]Carroll, James R. (August 3, 2013). “Mitch McConnell, Alison Lundergan Grimes race a ‘toss up,’ according to non-partisan observer“. The Courier-Journal. Footnote via … Continue reading Mr McConnell stomped her with 56.19% of the vote; so much for polling! About the only silver lining Mrs Grimes could see in that is that she did better against the then-Senate Minority Leader than the repugnant Amy McGrath Henderson did six years later.

Naturally, the Commonwealth’s two largest newspapers, The (Louisville) Courier-Journal and Lexington Herald-Leader endorsed Mrs Grimes, but what my best friend used to call the Herald-Liberal always endorses Democrats.

Humorously, Mrs Grimes was feted at a fundraiser by Harvey Wallbanger Weinstein, though that was before his scumbag reputation was widely known. 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’
