Daniel Panneton tells us, in his Twitter biography, that he is a “Museums worker and online hate researcher”. He also tells us that he is very afraid to let the Unapproved see his tweets. I looked, but was unable to find a significantly more detailed biography of Mr Panneton. A writer for The Atlantic, he […]
No, I didn’t misspell the word in the title: 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. I have noted, many times, that black lives […]
This morning’s news is all about the shootings in Highland Park, Illinois, at a Fourth of July parage, allegedly committed by Robert Chimo III, who was arrested without incident. The left, of course, concluded that because he surrendered and was arrested alive, he was the recipient of some kind of ‘white privilege.’ But, while Mr […]
I’m not certain that there has ever been a Supreme Court decision which has ever provoked the mass hysteria and insanity that has attended Dobbs v Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the decision which overturned Roe v Wade.

What we are doing now is not working!” Not having seen numbers […]
Adopted Philadelphian Amanda Marcotte doesn’t normally write about the City of Brotherly Love, but with the gang gun battle on Sunday, even she had to pay attention. From Salon: U.S. gun laws are causing mayhem and mass murder — and Republicans couldn’t be more thrilled Crappy gun laws cause our crime problems. But Republicans blame […]
I really, really, really wanted to write about something else this morning; I’ve spent so much time on the homicide rate in foul, fetid, fuming, foggy, filthy Philadelphia that I felt in a rut. Then the Memorial Day weekend happened, and I had two stories entitled Killadelphia in a row, as the blood flowed freely […]
The Sunday Philadelphia Inquirer, or at least its website main page, was just full of stories about firearms. Soccer beat writer and website home page editor Jonathan Tannenwald wrote “Alejandro Bedoya leads Union protest against gun violence: ‘This ain’t American exceptionalism’: ‘It ain’t freedom that we have to now look over our backs all the […]
