Stupidity x Stupidity = Stupidity²

When your Wikipedia biography page has a section “Other Names,” you know that there’s already a problem. We have mentioned the lovely Rachel Dolezal only thrice previously on The First Street Journal, and then only in mockery.

The white woman born Rachel Anne Dolezal, to two white parents, in very white Montana — 88.9% white, but just 0.6% black in 2020 census — tried, initially successfully, as black to obtain a position as president of the NAACP chapter in Spokane, Washington, from 2014 until June 2015, when she resigned in the midst of controversy over her racial identity. Subsequent idiocy followed, and Miss Dolezal, in 2017, released a memoir on her racial identity titled In Full Color: Finding My Place in a Black and White World. She has, in effect, acknowledged that she is a white woman, but that she identifies as black, which makes just about as much sense as former University of Pennsylvania swimmer Will Thomas identifying as a woman named “Lea.”

In that Other Names listing, we find that Miss Dolezal now identifies as Nkechi Amare Diallo, and, as bad people usually do, she has gotten herself in more trouble.

Ex-Spokane NAACP leader loses Arizona teaching job over OnlyFans account

By Karu F. Daniels | St Valentine’s Day, February 14, 2024 | 7:27 PM PST

Nkechi Diallo, the Montana-born white woman formerly known as Rachel Dolezal — who was infamously exposed for attempting to pass as Black — has been fired from her teaching job following the exposure of her OnlyFans account.

According to the Arizona Daily Star, the disgraced ex-NAACP Spokane chapter leader had served as a $19-an-hour after-school instructor at the Catalina Foothills Unified School District in Tucson, Ariz., since August 2023. She also worked as a teacher through the school’s contracted substitute provider, Educational Services Inc.

School officials said they only learned about Diallo’s activity on the NSFW platform after local station KVOA reported on Tuesday that explicit photos had been inexplicably shared on public websites such as Reddit.

“We only learned of Ms. Nkechi Diallo‘s OnlyFans social media posts yesterday afternoon,” district spokesperson Julie Farbarik wrote in an emailed statement Wednesday to the outlet. “Her posts are contrary to our district’s ‘Use of Social Media by District Employees’ policy and our staff ethics policy. She is no longer employed by the Catalina Foothills School District.”

The school district’s policy reportedly stipulates that employees are prohibited from communicating on social media in an unprofessional manner that would significantly harm their “work-related reputation.”

Only Fans is a subscription-based internet company, through which people — mostly women — can produce their own pornography, and sell subscriptions to which other people — mostly male — can masturbate vicariously copulate. It is no secret that school systems don’t like it when teachers produce this stuff. As we reported last September, St Clair, Missouri, High School teacher Brianna Coppage lost her job when her Only Fans porn page was discovered.

Coppage said she joined the direct-to-subscribers website OnlyFans over the summer to supplement her teaching salary.

She taught English to freshmen and sophomores and made about $42,000 last year, according to the Post-Dispatch public pay database. She said she’s earned an additional $8,000 to $10,000 per month performing on OnlyFans.

Mrs Coppage is at least reasonably pretty; how Miss Dolezal could have made much money on only fans is a mystery.

There’s a point at which I have to shake my head over this stupidity. Let’s face it: there’s tons of porn, more than even the most obsessed of incels could ever peruse, available for free on the internet, but there are people who have been willing to pay money, which normally involves a traceable credit card transaction, to look at naked, or sometimes explicit sexual performance photos and movies, of women with whom they will never get to copulate on the internet.

It is, in a way, the perfect plural marriage: men stupid enough to pay for this s(tuff) and women desperate enough to put out this material, seemingly without realizing that it will eventually affect their real lives and will still be out there when they are sixty-something grandparents, or preparing to marry — in real life — that normal guy who seems so perfect to them.

Killadelphia: A public service homicide? One bad guy dead, another in jail

Jahsir Walke mug shot, via Steve Keeley, Fox29 News.

Meet Jahsir Walke, 16, of foul, fetid, fuming, foggy, filthy Philadelphia, and you can say goodby to him as well. No, unlike Robert Stacy McCain’s use of a similar line, young Mr Walke has not gone on to his eternal reward, but we can have some real hope that he will disappear into a Pennsylvania state penitentiary, and never see the sun from outside again.

So, what did young Mr Walke do? Well, the first part of the problem is that he is just plain stupid. At just 16 years of age, he thought it was wise and cool and all gangster to walk around carrying a firearm. Oddly enough, the fact that he was violating gun control laws didn’t seem to give him pause, and certainly did not stop him from carrying, something which must surely shock the left.

Mr Keeley posted his notice of the crime at 4:23 PM EST, but, at least as of 8:52 PM, The Philadelphia Inquirer has nothing on the story; I am not surprised.

On Monday, January 29th, officers of the 19th District responded to a “Man with a gun” call at the Martinez Food Market, a corner store bodega at 5453 Master Street, in the Hestonville neighborhood in West Philadelphia. Upon arrival, they found Nafiese McClain, a 19-year-old black male, shot twice. He was transported to Penn Presbyterian Hospital, where he was pronounced dead shortly thereafter.

According to initial reports, Mr McClain entered the bodega and brushed past two young black males, one of whom was Mr Walke, and then assaulted a third black male in the back of the store. Mr Walke then pulled his weapon from the waistband of his pants, and shot Mr McClain twice. This wasn’t some after dark crime, but happened at 1:37 in the afternoon.

Of course, as is the case virtually everywhere these days, it was all caught by a security camera, Mr Walke was identified as the shooter, and a week later he’s behind bars.

So, what do we have? A 19-year-old tough guy treats a couple of teenagers rudely, then starts to pound on a third man, for a thus far unreported reason. Then, one of the two teenaged tough guys pulls out his gun, and sends Mr McClain straight to Hell.

If I was to be cynical, I’d call this a public service homicide. Mr McClain seems to have been a good-for-nothing punk of whom West Philly is well rid, and young Mr Walke another useless consumer of food, water and oxygen, whose disappearance into the state pen can only benefit the decent people in the neighborhood. Being a juvenile, his record is almost certainly sealed, but a 16-year-old carrying? The probability that Mr Walke has a record himself would seem pretty high.

Through Sunday, February 4th, the City of Brotherly Love had seen ‘only’ 27 homicides, down from the 41 on the same date last year. With 35 days having elapsed in the year, the city is seeing fewer than one homicide per day, 0.7714 per day. While even one murder is one too many, in Philly terms, 0.7714 killings per day is pretty good, and the lowest number on this date since 2018. And when we consider the victim and the killer, this just might be a win/win.

After 72 uninterrupted years in power, Democrats have kept Philly our nation’s poorest big city

The city of Philadelphia has been governed by Democrats for decades: the last Republican mayor left office while Harry Truman was President of the United States. The Democrats of today, in complete charge of the City of Brotherly Love, have talked a great, great game of taking care of the poor and downtrodden, yet it has to be asked: having talked the talk, have they walked the walk?

Some Philadelphia homeless shelters have gone months or years without being paid by the city

The Office of Homeless Services spent $15 million more than it was budgeted over the last four years, but some nonprofit leaders say during that time, they experienced severe delays in payment.

It was the Monday after Thanksgiving when officials at Gloria’s Place, a West Philadelphia homeless shelter that’s operated for five decades, learned their contract with the city wouldn’t be renewed due to a lack of funding, and the seven families in its care would need to find shelter somewhere else.

That came after Gloria’s Place had for ten months housed dozens of children and adults referred to them by the city — but were not paid the more than $400,000 the city owed them.

Yup, it’s another one of those Philadelphia Inquirer articles limited to subscribers only. I subscribe so that you don’t have to. Continue reading →

Killadelphia Yet another senseless shooting takes the life of an innocent person

We have previously reported on the shooting, allegedly by the-17-year-old Quadir Humphrey, which struck a 16-year-old victim in the head. We also noted:

(I)F the reports I’ve seen on Twitter are correct, the victim has a “non-survivable brain injury” and is “now brain dead,” so the charges will surely be upgraded to murder.

More information has now been made public:

The 16-year-old shot at SEPTA station will not survive, mom says

Quadir Humphrey, 18, and Zaire Wilson, 16, will likely be charged with murder.

The 16-year-old who was critically wounded in a shooting on the subway platform last week will not survive his injuries, his mother said Tuesday.

Tyshaun Welles, a sophomore at Frankford High School, has been on life support since Thursday night, when he was shot in the head by a stray bullet after two teens opened fire at the City Hall SEPTA station, said his mother, Racquel Bango. Continue reading →

According to the Philadelphia Police Department’s Crime Maps and Stats page, there have been 383 homicides in the City of Brotherly Love as of 11:59 PM EST on November 30, 2023.

With November 30th being the 334th day of the year, that works out to an average of 1.1467 homicides per day in Philly, which, multiplied by 365 yields a projected 418.5479 murders for the year. That’s a heck of an improvement, even if it’s still ridiculously high, but anything under 422 killings will give Mayor Jim Kenney, District Attorney Larry Krasner, and most-of-the-year Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw a four-year average slightly under 500 per year.

Killadelphia To me, it's simple: no one who is guilty of murder should ever see the light of day again as a free man.

On Thursday, October 12th, Philadelphia Police Officers Richard Mendez, 50, and Raul Ortiz, 60, were when the officers attempted to stop a gang of goons from attempting to break in and steal a car in a parking garage at the Philadelphia International Airport. Officer Mendez was killed, and Officer Ortiz wounded. The officers returned fire, and one of ths suspects was wounded. Teenager Jesus Herman Madera Duran was wounded, and his accomplices threw him in the back of their Dodge Durango — which was reported stolen a weak earlier — and dumped him on the floor of a parking garage at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, and then fled. Young Mr Duran, of Camden, New Jersey, was pronounced dead at CHOP. Continue reading →

Homicides are down in the City of Brotherly Love, as we have previously reported. On May 25th, we noted that it was possible that Philadelphia could see as few as 450 murders in 2023. Under recently resigned Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw, the city saw 499 homicides in 2020 — though there’s reason to suspect that 502 is the correct figure — 562 in 2021, and 516 in 2022.

With 330 officially listed homicides as of October 1st, the 274th day of the year, Philly has seen 1.204 homicides per day, which works out to a projected 439.60 killings for the year.

That decrease in homicides is good news, at least if over 400 murders can be regarded as anything other than bad news, but the killings are still happening. From The Philadelphia Inquirer:

Police shoot man suspected of killing 3 people in Philly quadruple shooting

The shooter is believed to be a relative of one of the victims, according to police, who said he fled the scene in a blue Honda Pilot.

‘I condemn the rioting and looting, but . . . . Jenice Armstrong is protesting is that the civilized people aren’t listening to the barbarians.

Would anyone have expected anything different from Philadelphia Inquirer columnist Jenice Armstrong? She knows that she has to condemn the riots, but she tries to understand the rioters and looters, and wants to say that she can’t really blame them. Continue reading →
