You in a heap o’ trouble, boy! Another teacher caught raping a student.

As soon as I heard about this, checked all of the available articles, and, as usual, they all left out one pertinent bit of information.

Christyan Cabera, 25, was a world history teacher at West Rowan High School. The district said he is no longer employed at the school.

ROWAN COUNTY, N.C. — A former West Rowan High School teacher was arrested for multiple sexual assault charges involving a 15-year-old student, authorities reported. Continue reading →

Once more, the Philly Inquirer goes all-in to support transgenderism Every bird, every reptile, and every mammal has the ability to distinguish between males and females of their own species, but apparently human liberals have 'educated' that right out of themselves.

We have referred to America’s third-oldest continuously-published daily newspaper as The Philadelphia Enquirer, as RedState writer Mike Miller mistakenly referred to it, so I didn’t originate it, but, reminiscent of the National Enquirer as it is, I sometimes think of it as very apt. The newspaper, the past winner of twenty Pulitzer Prizes, has gone all-in on promoting the ‘transgender’ agenda, and once again they’ve published a sob story about a mentally-ill boy who thinks he’s a girl.

Why don’t we return to charitable giving? Why must everything be through the government?

It was back in 2023 that one of my fellow parishioners at St Elizabeth of Hungary Catholic Church told us that the Estill County Community Food Bank was losing the ‘extra’ money coming from the federal government in COVID-19 ’emergency’ money was ending. The parish council then decided that we would take up a quarterly extra second collection specifically for the Food Bank, and I’m happy to say that most of those second collections netted slightly over $1,000 for the organization.

I thought of that when I saw the tweet on the right from WPVI-TV in Philadelphia, and the following (brief) story:

Edward T Steel Elementary and Middle Schools Our current education bureaucracy hasn't done very much good, has it?

The First Street Journal has mentioned the Edward T Steel Elementary and Middle School several times previously, primarily in connection with former Philadelphia city councilwoman Helen Gym Flaherty and her use of the school as a backdrop in her campaign for the Democratic mayoral nomination in the spring of 2023, a nomination she very fortunately lost. Mrs Flaherty proudly proclaimed that it was thanks to her efforts that the school didn’t “go charter”. We noted, at the time, that the school at the time ranked 1,205th out of 1,607 Pennsylvania elementary schools, in which 8% of students tested grade-level proficient in reading, and a whopping 1% of students scored at or above the proficient level for math.

Well, that was then, and this is now, 1¾ years later, and the ranks have been updated Continue reading →

That thing that never happens has happened again

The murder of Laken Riley by José Antonio Ibarra, an illegal immigrant released into the US by Customs and Border Patrol during the Biden Administration because the surge in apprehended border crossers had worsened to a point where they did not have enough space at a detention facility to hold him, was a rare, rare event, certainly nothing over which to criticize our 46th President’s compassionate immigration policies. Such criticism was inflamed by the evil reich-wing former President Donald Trump, for political gain, don’t you know.

He didn’t have to be an [insert slang term for the anus here]

It might seem like an unimportant story in Saturday morning’s Washington Post, and the ruling won’t affect all that many people, but it demonstrates the willingness of some people to be absolute assholes — note that I used the word directly rather than my more usual [insert slang term for the anus here] — for no good reason. Yes, sometimes we need government officials to be [insert plural slang term for the anus here] for the good of government and of the country, but this kind of behavior over pettiness is just plain stupid.

Illegals apprehended in Kentucky

Our good friends on the left would have people believe that the poor, oppressed ‘undocumented’ residents in our country are all just sweetness-and-light, good, people working hard to make a living. Well, when the liberally-oriented Lexington Herald-leader starts pointing out that those apprehended in the Bluegrass State might not be among our better angels, perhaps some of us might doubt the meme the left are presenting.

Kentucky isn’t the largest state in the union, but it’s good to see that we’re not being ignored in Operation Take Back America.

Soft-peddling the Gangs of Philadelphia

Ellie Rushing, from her Twitter profile.

If there’s one thing of which no one can accuse Philadelphia Inquirer reporter Ellie Rushing it’s laziness. Her author profile states that her beat is “cover(ing) criminal justice and law enforcement in Philadelphia, including how crime and the court systems impact communities,” and there’s certainly plenty of that in foul, fetid, fuming, foggy, filthy Philadelphia.

Miss Rushing gave us a deep look into the West Philly gang Young Bag Chasers, about whom we have nine times previously noted. Despite the fact that we were reliably informed by the newspaper that there are no gangs in the city, just “cliques of young men affiliated with certain neighborhoods and families,” who sometimes had “beefs” with other cliques, and that we have previously reported that the newspaper really, really, really doesn’t like to refer to gangs as gangs, Miss Rushing, though using other descriptions occasionally for prosaic reasons, does refer to “YBC” as a gang occasionally.

But, sadly enough, in a very in-depth article, one that the research of which must have put the reporter in some physical danger, Miss Rushing gives us far too many excuses as to how and why the gang became a gang and the gang members became gang members. Continue reading →

World War III Watch: Can one of the chest-thumping neocons tell me how they intend to actually win the wars they are pushing?

Elwood P Dowd is one of the liberal commenters on my good friend William Teach’s The Pirate’s Cove. The distinguished Mr Dowd is a Democrat and true hater of President Trump, and every so often, he gets me rolling in my response. He wrote:

If Trump abandons Ukraine to Putin, the Baltics are likely to be at risk. Do you believe King Donald would risk anything to help NATO defend Latvia? LOL.

Kind of a throwaway ending to a longer comment on a completely different subject, but that was the part to which I had to respond.

In 1939, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the Republic of France gave an unconditional guarantee to Poland that they would defend the Poles’ independence. Two days after the Nazis invaded, the UK and France declared war on Germany, but not a single British or French soldier, sailor, airman, or Marine ever fought in Poland to defend the country from the Third Reich! If der Führer hadn’t been stupid and invaded the USSR, it’s quite possible that the Nazis would still be in control of Poland, and all of Europe. Continue reading →
