Once again, Will Bunch defends the bad guys.

If Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and the leaders of the Islamic Republic of Iran had just enough weapons-grade uranium to put together an atomic bomb, and then shipped it out on a boat to pull into New York harbor, to do what they could to destroy our largest city, Will Bunch would scream bloody murder if the CIA found out about it, and President Trump ordered the boat sunk in international waters. “Why,” he would yell, “didn’t we arrest them when they pulled into New York harbor?”

Trump won’t get to heaven if he keeps murdering people on boats

There was no legal or moral justification for the Trump-ordered boat bombing that killed 11 Venezuelans. It could be just the start.

by Will Bunch | Thursday, September 4, 2025 | 1:16 PM EDT

If Donald Trump is serious about wanting to get to heaven, he has a very odd strategy.

Several paragraphs deleted, in that they are just Philadelphia Inquirer columnist bloviating on what it takes to get to Heaven. Given Mr Bunch’s vocal support for pre-natal infanticide, homosexuality, and transgenderism, I have some difficulty believing the notion that the columnist has any idea what it takes to get to the Heaven he probably doubts exists in the first place.

Just hours after Trump’s plea for everlasting life, he ordered, then celebrated, the mass killing of 11 human beings on a boat in the southern Caribbean Sea, somewhere off Venezuela. This was kind of like scribbling down your 2025 New Year’s resolution to lose weight while sitting in the drive-thru line at Kentucky Fried Chicken.

The U.S. military missile strike Tuesday that obliterated the power boat — which the Trump regime alleged, with zero evidence, was manned by Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang members bringing a shipment of narcotics to the United States — was such a shocking event that it took a day or so for the America media to even wrap their arms about what the heck just happened here.

Some of that, to be fair, stems from a complete lack of transparency by the White House and the Defense Department. Trump and his minions were eager to boast to the world about their ability to kill people, as the president quickly posted the 28-second South American “snuff video” of the boat’s annihilation to the White House social-media accounts.

In 1941, before the United States was officially at war with Germany, President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued his “shoot-on-sight” order, directing the Navy to attack any ship threatening U.S. shipping or foreign shipping under escort. President Trump’s order to sink a drug-running boat when it could be sunk is pretty much the same thing: the drug runners were, in effect, attacking the United States directly, and individual American citizens. Mr Bunch, a journolist[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 in our nation’s sixth largest city, is very much aware of the devastation drugs have wrought on the Kensington section of the city, and, less famously, much of the rest of Philly.

The Trump regime offered no legal justification — let alone a moral one — for blowing up in international waters a ship carrying civilians from a nation with which the United States is not at war. Or why the standard practice of warning and then interdicting a ship believed to be involved in drug trafficking — and arresting any suspects and bringing them to trial — wasn’t followed in this case.

My far too expensive Philadelphia Inquirer subscription. I could use a senior citizen’s discount right about now.

“(W)arning and then interdicting”, huh? In other words, give the crew a chance to dump the drugs and destroying the evidence, as well as giving them a chance to open fire and perhaps wound or kill an American sailor or Coast Guardsman? Or perhaps failing to interdict the boat at all before it beached itself to unload its cargo on the Outer Banks or Rehoboth Beach or somewhere else along out hundreds of miles of coastline?

Mr Bunch sure does like to root for the bad guys. This afternoon he expressed the wish to give eleven drug traffickers a fighting chance, while, as we noted last June, he was cheering on Kilmar Abrego Garcia, even while admitting that he did “find quite troubling the allegations of domestic abuse that caused Abrego Garcia’s wife, Jennifer Vasquez Sura, to briefly seek a protective order.” He complained about universities taking steps, at President Trump’s direction, to fight anti-Semitism on campus. Mr Bunch complained that no one should be above the law when it came to pardoned police officers and the January 6 Capitol protesters — even though most of the J6 defendants had already been railroaded convicted and served their sentences — but he defends those who have broken our immigration laws.

If it weren’t for double standards, Mr Bunch would have no standards at all!

There are times I actually wonder if Mr Trump is playing some secret four-dimensional chess. He has managed to get the American left defending transgenderism even when trans killers have murdered children in school and when some of them are invading minor girls locker rooms and beating them in girls’ sports, illegal immigrants even when some of them are trafficking in drugs and raping 7-year-old girls, and urban criminals in general. The President has managed to push the left so far around the bend on issues important to the American people that it’s amazing

Will Vanity Fair staffers quit over their #TrumpDerangementSyndrome?

Job cuts and layoffs in the credentialed media have been a persistent problem for a couple of decades now, especially in the print medium. Vanity Fair has been among those reporting layoffs at The Washington Post as well as other places, the magazine has seen its share of layoffs, and the people working there have to know just how precious jobs like theirs are right now. So, when an ‘unidentified staffer’ says, “If I have to work bagging groceries at Trader Joe’s, I’ll do it. If [Editorial Director Mark Guiducci] puts Melania on the cover, half of the editorial staff will walk out, I guarantee it,” it sure sounds like the emptiest of threats to me!

Vanity Fair employees lash out over proposed Melania Trump cover: ‘I will walk out the motherf–king door’

By Emily Crane | Tuesday, August 26, 2025 | 7:43 AM EDT

Vanity Fair’s new boss reportedly wants first lady Melania Trump to grace the glossy magazine’s coveted cover — leaving disgruntled woke staff threatening to “walk out the motherf–king door” if it goes ahead.

The fashion mag’s global editorial director, Mark Guiducci, has floated the possibility of putting President Trump’s wife on the cover of the Conde Nast-owned publication as he tries to make his mark in his newly minted role, Semafor reported.

But the mere thought of having the former model as a cover girl sparked fierce backlash from raging lefty staffers.

“I will walk out the motherf–king door, and half my staff will follow me,’ one sensitive editor fumed to the Daily Mail.

“We are not going to normalize this despot and his wife; we’re just not going to do it. We’re going to stand for what’s right,” the unidentified staffer whined.

“If I have to work bagging groceries at Trader Joe’s, I’ll do it. If [Guiducci] puts Melania on the cover, half of the editorial staff will walk out, I guarantee it.”

It sounds to me as though Mr Guiducci’s job just became easier: he won’t have to decide on more layoffs if a bunch of #TrumpDerangementSyndrome afflicted staffers walk out the door!

But, alas! the chances that many, or even any, of the staffers would carry through with such a threat are pretty small. Perhaps the ‘unidentified staffer’s’ guarantee isn’t all that solid?

We previously noted how The Philadelphia Inquirer’s Will Bunch got his thong panties in a twist over Ivanka Trump Kushner visiting the Philadelphia Eagles Nova Care practice facility with her son and his flag football team. Mrs Kushner is not part of President Trump’s present Administration, the article he referenced had nothing to do with politics, yet the columnist was appalled anyway.

Trump Derangement Syndrome is a real thing these days.

World War III Watch: Do the left really hate Mr Trump so much that they’d rather see more and more blood flowing than the President get some credit for stopping a war? The left would rather see the killing continue than President Trump achieve a diplomatic victory and peace

Our good friends on the left — and I include the recent neoconservatives, who are not really conservative in very much among the left — are up in arms that the wicked, evil, hated President Donald Trump is trying to get at least a ceasefire, and possibly a lasting peace agreement, between Russia and Ukraine, claiming that such would lock-in Russia’s conquests of roughly 20% of Ukraine. The Editorial Board of The Philadelphia Inquirer, about which I would have written yesterday but was afraid of sounding like a broken record, was simply the latest.

The left are just deathly afraid that Mr Trump might win the Nobel Peace Prize, said to be one of his heartfelt desires, as though promoting peace is somehow a bad thing. But the President said that he just loved stopping wars! Continue reading →

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.

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.

There is only one crime in war, and that’s the losing of it

One of the most controversial episodes of the television show Star Trek: Deep Space Nine is “In the Pale Moonlight,” in which Captain Benjamin Sisko, plagued by the mounting casualty lists in the interstellar war between the United Federation of Planets and Klingon Empire against the Cardassian Union and the Dominion, concocts a plan to bring the Romulans, then technically neutral, into the war on the side of the Federation. The plan involves lying, forgery, deception, and in the end, murder. The story is told in a series of flashbacks, in which Captain Sisko confronts his series of moral choices, and in the end, he confronts the violations of his fundamental principles, and concludes that, with the goal of bringing the Romulans into the war changing the power dynamic, and helping the Federation to reverse the losses it had been sustaining, he can live with his actions.

Curtis LeMay was put in charge of our strategic bombing command, and he was the one who switched much of our bombing attacks on Japan from some relatively ineffective high-altitude bombing to the incendiary night attacks which devastated the island nation’s highly combustible cities.

World War III Watch Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran

9:36 PM EDT — As we noted yesterday, the potential of launching an air attack on the Islamic Republic of Iran was something which had to be based on intelligence estimates, and sometimes intelligence estimates are wrong. As William Teach noted on the 20th, President Donald Trump had set a two-week window for negotiations with Iran to produce an acceptable result, but the President loves misdirection, and like the monitored communications between Captain Spock and Admiral Kirk in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, when hours could seem like days, apparently days could seem like weeks . . . or vice versa.

I cannot say that I am unhappy that the United States attempted to destroy Iran’s nuclear weapons sites, because, in the end, Iran simply cannot be allowed to develop and possess nuclear weapons. But I certainly am concerned, because we have, in effect, entered yet another foreign war. The President is scheduled to address the nation at 10:00 PM EDT, and I very much hope that he will tell us that this was one-and-done, that we are now staying out of the war between Israel and Iraq. But, of course, one nation cannot simply call off a war; there is the little matter of the enemy, and whether he will consider it called off. Iran will certainly talk big, and the Houthis will threaten American shipping, but only the Lord knows how this will play out.

I guess that I have to add the video Bomb, Bomb, Bomb, Bomb, Bomb Iran! Continue reading →

President Trump is winning on immigration: a large number of illegals have apparently self-deported

My good friend Robert Stacy McCain noted this Juneteenth that Steven Camerota and Karen Ziegler of the Center for Immigration Studies analyzed reports from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and concluded that “the number of illegal immigrants has fallen by one million since the start of the year.” That number is far greater than the number of illegals that have been deported, and that means, if the estimates are close to correct, what President Trump called self-deportation has been occurring in far greater numbers than the most optimistic of us had hoped.

Let’s extrapolate a bit from this analysis. If the number of illegal immigrants decreased by one million in about five months, that’s an average decline of 200,000 every month — roughly 2.4 million per year. So if the current trend could be continued, by the time the 2028 election rolls around, the number of illegals in the United States will be less than it was when Joe Biden took office in 2021.

At this point, Mr McCain noted what this would do to congressional seat, and therefore electoral vote, apportionment. President Trump tried this, sort of, during his first term, when he wanted immigration status included in the 2020 census, as possibly a way to apportion congressional seats based on the number of American citizens rather than raw population, but that effort failed.

But I look at it differently. I have said it previously, that the United States needs immigrants, but that we need good, vetted, useful, legal immigrants, immigrants of good character, immigrants who have clean criminal records in their home countries, and immigrants who are civic minded, attend church, and will assimilate into our country, to wave American flags, not Mexican ones.

Those who have left voluntarily, without being picked up and kicked out, will have the advantage if they apply for legal immigration, not having a forced deportation on their records. We should be able to investigate their records in their home countries, and their records here in the United States, without prejudice, if they apply to return legally. And those who have poor records, we can exclude.

This is what we should want, people who will come to the United States, contribute to our economy and our society. We can assign reasonable criteria that they have to meet:

  • Couples who have been legally married for more than three years;
  • Couples who have children;
  • No single males of military or fighting age;
  • No gangland or gang-related tattoos;
  • People with marketable skills;
  • People who have a record of good employment;
  • Families who attend Mass regularly; and, of course
  • People with clean criminal records.

There was some Democratic politician, I cannot recall whom, who facetiously tried to justify illegal immigration by saying that the Latin American countries were sending us their best people. Actually, I saw it as people who weren’t good enough to make it in their own countries! But with the kinds of criteria I listed, and other criteria could be suggested, we could do our best to assure that the immigrants admitted actually are the best for whom we could hope.

The vast majority of Americans, including the majority of people who voted for President Trump, would gladly accept those kind of immigrants.
