None Dare Call Them Domestic Enemies

On Sept. 30, Philadelphia’s Office of Immigrant Affairs plans to hoist the red flag emblazoned with the star of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in front of city hall to celebrate the anniversary of the establishment of the CCP. [More]

Because even though they don’t (yet) outright admit it (to the general public), they’re communists.

In your face, birthplace of American independence!

Just like Democracy Now! with its glowing tribute to th e “legacy” of good communi… I mean “black liberation activist” Assata Shakur, without once mentioning she was a Marxist murderer.

Thank You, Captains Obvious

Open-Carry Ban in Philadelphia Is Unconstitutional, Court Rules [More]

We really need a court to declare that?

The most telling quote:

“While we will leave that choice to the individual we will state that in many urban areas (namely Philadelphia) doing so will draw unwanted attention from law enforcement…”

Yeah, ignorant armed Only Ones freaking out over citizens claiming their birthright seems to be a recurring infringement in a lot of places.

An Aspiring Rapper

12-year-old shot dead by teenager while filming music video with loaded guns, cops say [More]

And just so we know what to place the blame on:

“There were some guns present, and one of them went off, shooting the 12-year-old, ultimately killing him,” the inspector said.

What kind of gun fanatic wouldn’t want all the laws it would take to stop that, and why?

In the Spirit of Bipartisanship

A judge rejected Tesla founder, X owner and billionaire Elon Musk’s request to move the civil lawsuit against his $1 million giveaway filed by the Philadelphia district attorney to federal court. The lawsuit was remanded back to Pennsylvania state court Friday by U.S. District Judge Gerald J. Pappert, a former Republican Pennsylvania attorney general appointed to federal court in 2014 by President Barack Obama. [More]

Do Vichycons really believe Republicans will ever be serious power players again after they sabotage MAGA?

As Mike reminded us, we’ll still get to vote— just not for them.

Philadelphia CSI

Greenberg was discovered dead in her kitchen in January 2011 with 20 stab wounds, including 10 from behind, at least one of which could have been inflicted after she was already dead, according to court documents. Her body was also covered in bruises in different stages of healing. [More]

Clearly a suicide!

They ought to make the ruling pathologist demonstrate.

We Gonna Celebrate and Party with You

Ten people were shot, including those who were killed, as gunfire erupted on the 1200 booth of North Alden Street at about 2 a.m., the Philadelphia Police told WPVI, adding that more than 100 people were at the scene for the party. [More]

I can’t tell you how many of my gatherings have been ruined by this.

Keep ignoring the undeniable and blaming the guns, idiot prohibitionists.

The Philadelphia Story

The Philadelphia Police Department (PPD) has deployed SHOTPOINT®, Databuoy’s life-saving gunshot localization and detection system, to help reduce gun violence throughout the City of Philadelphia. [More]

So… how many lives has it saved, and how much “gun violence” has it reduced?

Or are we just talking about another boondoggle to reward favored lobbyists with tax plunder and make it look like the city fathers have a grip on things? Any bets on seeing a pronounced and attributable dip in the numbers, or will it work as well as the paid snitch program?

Another thing I can’t tell: Is the person who wrote this a “real reporter” or a PR flack, and what’s the difference, anyway?

And not to stir up trouble or anything, but with all the emphasis Philly puts on DEI, do these people look a little white to you?
