Three percent of Philadelphians are in the country illegally So, why didn't that 'sanctuary city' do something to 'regularize' their presence in the US while Joe Biden was in office?

I check Bluesky so you don’t have to! Will Bunch would rather see more killing than Donald Trump win a Nobel Peace Prize
I will admit it: I have spent far too much of the past couple of days in schadenfreude over the apoplexy of the left that Donald Trump is going to be inaugurated as the 47th President of the United States at noon on Monday. Most of the stuff was by people as no named as me, and a lot of it was simply silly beyond belief. Mr Trump moved the inauguration indoors due to the bitterly cold weather forecast for Washington DC, about 20º F, with wind chills in the single digits, so the left have been claiming that it wasn’t the weather, but that the President was afraid, afraid that the number of protesters would outnumber supporters, and that he just wasn’t tough enough, as Presidents John F Kennedy and Barack Hussein Obama had inaugurations outdoors in similarly cold weather.
We might as well face it: the very bitter left will say anything to insult Mr Trump.
More interesting to me was this skeet — a skeet is what a tweet on Bluesky is called — from Will Bunch, the far-left columnist of The Philadelphia Inquirer. Mr Bunch wrote that he literally felt sick to his stomach over the idea that our incoming President was “already Nobel Peace Prize shopping, peering down the aisles of conflict and crisis to gauge the easiest route to capturing the coveted award to adorn the lobby of Mar-a-Lago,” and that The Washington Post’s new contributing columnist, Rahm Emanuel, argued that “even Trump’s fiercest opponents ought to encourage this yen — and even root him on.” Continue reading

You in a heap o’ trouble, boy
Thanks to Stacey Matthews, who has been writing as Sister Toldjah for twenty years now — she ‘outed’ herself from her anonymity when a stalker ferreted out her identification and was getting ready to publish it — on RedState, I found this gem, from The Sacramento Bee:

It’s been a while since I posted a “Killadelphia” article, but it seems that the City of Brotherly Love, despite a dramatically reduced homicide rate the past couple of years, still likes seeing blood flowing down the gutters.
North Philly teen killed in shooting was a student athlete who had the highest SAT score at Samuel Fels
Another teen, an 18-year-old whom police did not identify, was fatally shot hours earlier on the 6100 block of Vine Street, police said.
It was never about “protecting democracy”.
The left have complained loudly that Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter and his support of that wholly radical concept of Freedom of Speech was a horrible, horrible thing, but while conservatives are no longer censored on that social media site, Mr Musk has allowed those on the left the same access they always had.
And thus we have Tristan Snell being able to vent his frustration that former President Donald Trump will become President again at noon on January 20th.
Who is Mr Snell? His self-written Twitter biography states that he is a “Lawyer, commentator, fighter for democracy. Prosecuted Trump University @ NY AG. Author of TAKING DOWN TRUMP. Host of the Tristan Snell Show on Apple + Spotify.” Continue reading
The Philadelphia Inquirer beclowns itself . . . again How do you publish a story about Police released images without publishing the images?
This site has reported, many times, on how The Philadelphia Inquirer censors the news, at the direction of publisher Elizabeth “Lisa” Hughes. Miss Hughes told us that “racial justice” concerns will be considered in the newspaper’s “crime and criminal justice coverage,” but today’s story raises it to the laughing out loud level.
Police release images of suspect in jeweled crown heist from Center City church
The burglar broke into St. John the Evangelist Roman Catholic Church at 13th and Ludlow Streets by smashing through a stained-glass window and stole a golden crown, police said.

Image released by Philadelphia Police Department.
Police released images and video of the man they say stole a 125-year-old bejeweled golden crown from atop a marble statue of the Virgin Mary at St. John the Evangelist Roman Catholic Church in Center City and asked the public for help in finding him.Around 1:10 a.m. Saturday, police said, the man broke into the church on the corner of South 13th and Ludlow Streets by smashing through a stained-glass window. The burglar was captured on surveillance video breaking through the window, climbing into the upper nave and going straight to the statue and crown, the church’s archivist, Anne Kirkwood, said.
A short clip from surveillance footage released by police Monday shows the man, wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, a face mask, grey sweatpants, and red or pink sneakers, walking up an alleyway by the church before climbing what appears to be a fence and disappearing from view of the camera.
Other clips released by police show the suspect’s alleged getaway car, a grey Mitsubishi SUV.
There’s more at the original.
Yet, while talking about the released image and video, and having three photographs illustrating the article, which I used to obtain the images for this article, the Inquirer did not publish the image or video themselves. There were adequate hyperlinks to take readers to those things, but the Inky, for whatever cockamamie reasons they had, at least a of publication time here, 4:25 PM EST, left out the images about which the story was written!
The image at least appears to show a thin male with fairly dark skin, possibly a black male, breaking into the Center City church, but it isn’t quite clear enough for the viewer to be certain of his race.
Embedded video below the fold. Continue reading
Shedding a tear for Jennifer Rubin, who’s leaving The Washington Post.
We have reported on warmonger and #TrumpDerangementSyndrome sufferer Jennifer Rubin, the Washington Post columnist, several times before. At a time when foreign terrorists have been rampant and murders in Philadelphia had spiked, she was whining about “domestic terrorism,” and Elon Musk opening Twitter to greater freedom of speech. Mrs Rubin, who has told us of her great commitment to democracy, was appalled that a party she doesn’t like was allowed to run in democratic elections. She combitched about Post owner Jeff Bezos spiking an endorsement for Kamala Harris Emhoff, but didn’t quit over that, as several other Post personnel has done.
But now, she’s hitting the road:
Jen Rubin exits Washington Post, joins Norm Eisen to launch new outlet countering ‘authoritarian threat’

New York: CNN — Veteran opinion columnist Jennifer Rubin is becoming the latest in a long list of Washington Post figures to leave the troubled institution.Rubin is partnering with former White House ethics czar Norm Eisen and launching something new: a startup publication called The Contrarian.
The startup’s tagline, “Not owned by anybody,” is a pointed reference to billionaire Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos and other moguls who, in Rubin’s view, have “bent the knee” to President-elect Donald Trump.
“Our goal is to combat, with every fiber of our being, the authoritarian threat that we face,” Rubin told CNN in an interview ahead of the publication’s introduction.
Clearly, Mrs Rubin has been drinking her own Kool-Aid. While the incoming President might think that Mrs Ruban and her fellow travelers belong behind bars, there’s really no law under which she could be thrown in jail for expressing her opinions. She’s like the lovely Kathy Griffin, who’s been claiming that people need to come see her stand up comedy acts now, before she gets thrown into an ‘internment camp,’ is reaching people. I’d say her claim is overblown, considering that President Trump didn’t have her thrown behind barbed wire following her posting of a picture holding what was supposed to be the President’s bloody head, later saying that “she believes she’s been personally attacked by the president and the first family.” Continue reading
