Philadelphia’s homicide rate has skyrocketed since Mayor Jim Kenney took office, and only gotten worse since George Soros-sponsored police hater Larry Krasner became District Attorney. The appointment of left coaster Danielle Outlaw –she was formerly Chief of Police in Portland, Oregon, and a deputy chief in Oakland, California — didn’t improve things. From October 12, […]
A commenter on The Other McCain asked me about the homicide rate in St Louis; we had been discussing the homicides in Philadelphia and Chicago. Why, I’m glad he asked! The Gateway City has had 103 murders so far in 2021, and, unlike other cities, the SLPD divides them up by race. Five whites, two Hispanics, and one […]
In news which is no surprise, former state Representative Charles Booker has declared for the Democratic nomination to face incumbent Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) in the 2022 election. Mr Booker said last March that he was “strongly considering” running for the Senate in 2022, and, as we have previously noted, in April formed an exploratory […]
Salon senior politics writer Amanda Marcotte moved to South Philadelphia sometime in early 2019, but unless she never listens to the local news — always a possibility, given that she never writes on it — she has to have noticed the tremendous homicide rate in the City of Brotherly Love.[1]One wonders: does the uber-feminist in […]
The city of Portland, Oregon, is located in Multnomah County; in the 2020 elections, Joe Biden carried the county by a huge margin, 367,249 (79.21%) to 82,995 (17.90%). I would say that it’s reasonable to describe Portland as a very liberal city. How, then, in this bastion of leftward politics, can it be that while […]
The black communities around the country have been really eager in their attempts to ban no-knock warrants. Louisville’s Breonna Taylor was killed when plainclothes police officers returned fire — not opened fire but returned fire — after Miss Taylor’s boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, claiming that he thought the police were armed intruders, and fired, hitting Officer […]
As I previously noted, the hearts of the editors of the what my, sadly late, best friend used to call the Lexington Herald-Liberal must have been all aflutter when former, one-term state Representative Charles Booker (D-43rd District) of Louisville announced that he was forming an exploratory committee to see if he should run for the 2022 Democratic nomination against […]
Yes, I have been harping on the promulgation of fear in our society rather a lot lately, but Glenn Greenwald said it better than I ever have! Fear is crucial for state authority. When the population is filled with it, they will acquiesce to virtually any power the government seeks to acquire in the name […]
We have spent a considerable amount of bandwidth on the murder epidemic in Philadelphia, but it isn’t only the City of Brotherly Love in which this has happened. From The Wall Street Journal: A Year After George Floyd’s Murder, It’s ‘Open Season’ in Minneapolis Homicides have more than doubled in a year. Three children have […]
