My good friend Robert Stacy McCain noted the drive-by shootings at the Shepard Recreation Center in West Philadelphia, complete with a link back to our story on the gunfire. đ Mr McCain posited his story Sunday evening, concluding: Like so much else in the âprogressiveâ agenda, the soft-on-crime policies of Soros-backed District Attorney Larry Krasner are hurting […]
Larry Krasner, the police-hating defense attorney sponsored by George Soros to become District Attorney in Philadelphia, really, really doesn’t like putting criminals in jail. He is a strong believer in “restorative justice,” and his office issued, on May 26, 2022, a paper claiming that their “restorative justice” programs have worked just spectacularly well. So it […]

Soccer beat writer and website home page editor Jonathan Tannenwald wrote “Alejandro Bedoya leads Union protest against gun violence: âThis ainât American exceptionalismâ: âIt ain’t freedom that we have to now look over our backs all the […]
We have previously noted how the credentialed media use control of language to try to influence the debate toward their favored positions, which always seem to be toward the left. Twitter did so by prohibiting âtargeted misgendering or deadnaming of transgender individuals.â Simply put, if someone wanted to tweet something about William Thomas, the male […]
Donald Trump used to call the credentialed media #FakeNews, but even he never set up a ‘Disinformation Governance Board‘, nor picked someone like Nina Jankowicz, who for months told us that the Hunter Biden laptop story was Russian disinformation, to head it. On April 25th, she told us how she feels about #FreedomOfSpeech: Last week […]
When I spotted this article on my feed, I went to the New York Magazine original, because I prefer to cite from the original.
