Let’s face it: obeying the law is a choice

In the end, unless a person is incarcerated, compliance with the law is entirely voluntary. A 57-year-old man had his driver’s license revoked for an undisclosed medical condition, but got behind the wheel anyway, and now he’s dead, after having left a trail of debris behind. From WPVI-TV:

HAVERFORD TWP., Pa. (WPVI) — A deadly multi-vehicle crash in Haverford Township is raising questions about how a driver whose license had been revoked for medical reasons ended up behind the wheel. Continue reading →

There’s some major irony in Amanda Marcotte telling other people to shut up She doesn't want anyone to judge the alleged victim, but loves judging the accused men

It’s perhaps telling that Amanda Marcotte’s old Twitter biography photo was taken in a bar, and that it advertises Bud Light, though it does predate the Dylan Mulvaney s(tuff).

We suggested, on September 30th, that perhaps the very lovely Amanda Marcotte had learned something from her full-throated accusations against the Duke lacrosse team in 2006, that jumping the gun wasn’t necessarily the wisest thing to do. It took her until October 2nd to weigh in on the case:

In 2017, the #MeToo movement took the nation by storm. A veritable flood of women, and some men, spoke out about their own experiences with sexual abuse, leading to a slew of firings, lawsuits, arrests and social opprobrium of the accused, especially since so many accusers produced compelling evidence. Despite this, it was barely weeks before the backlash began, with countless articles about how #MeToo had gone “too far,” despite scant evidence that innocent men were getting entangled. That response swelled until it overcame #MeToo, which has largely faded into the background. Continue reading →

You in a heap o’ trouble, boy!

Scott Hughes, mugshot by Pulaski County Sheriff’s Department, and is a public record.

I noted, on Twitter as well as in a comment on the newspaper’s original, that what my best friend used to call the Lexington Herald-Liberal adheres to a McClatchy policy not to publish the mugshots of accused criminals, and normally extends that to convicted felons, including murderers, as well, but chose to publish a photo of a man accused, in a lawsuit but not a criminal complaint, of taping sex between guests.

So, I was in no way surprised that the newspaper decided not to publish the publicly available mugshot of this fine gentleman, but it was easy enough for me to find:

You in a heap o’ trouble, boys! Some people are just plain stupid.

Traisan Fields, mugshot by Fayette County Detention Center, and is a public record.

I noted, on August 14th:

Lexington, Kentucky, current population 329,791, has seen four murders so far in 2026. Philly has 4.77 times Lexington’s population, but 27 times as many murders.

I’d like to think that the gang-bangers in Lexington didn’t take what I wrote as a personal challenge, but for whatever the reasons, five more murders have been committed there.

The more they overthink the plumbing, the easier it is to stop up the drain! If we are going to have executions, we should just get on with them, and do so simply

As both of my website’s regular readers know, I am opposed to capital punishment. We should not kill anyone unless it is absolutely necessary, and if we have a prisoner securely and permanently confined, to the point he is unable to resist his execution, then he is sufficiently helpless enough that it is no longer necessary to kill him.

But whether you support or oppose capital punishment, one thing is clear: we sure are inept and incompetent in administering it! The Volunteer State just tried, and failed, to execute Christa Pike, 50, for a gruesome murder she committed when she was 18. She was sentenced to death, while her 17-year-old boyfriend and accomplice was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole; being a minor at the time of the crime, he was not eligible for capital punishment.

Though I am opposed to capital punishment, I have exactly no sympathy for Miss Pike. She was pleading for her life, which could have been another twenty or thirty or forty years locked in a cell for twenty-three hours a day. To me, that would be a fate worse than death, but I suppose it’s too easy for me to say, since saying it does not put me in the execution chamber. Continue reading →

Duke Lacrosse Rape Case 2.0 Haven't we learned anything from that rush to injustice?

Remember the Duke Lacrosse Team Rape Hoax of 2006? A stripper by the name of Crystal Gail Mangum accused three members of the university’s lacrosse team of raping her after a party for which she had been hired?

In the end, it was proven that the three young men accused were not just not guilty, but factually innocent, but not until after huge publicity, condemnation of the accused by a large group of faculty members, and, of course, the very lovely Amanda Marcotte adding her 2¢ many times.

Well, we’re seeing something similar at Cornell, and the public relations assaults by the activists have begun. I will admit it: I checked Miss Marcotte’s Salon postings, but it seems that she learned something from the rotten egg on her face twenty years ago: she hasn’t weighed in on this case, at least not yet.

Democrisy! If Tim McBride and Will Thomas can be accepted as women, why can’t Hannah Gann be accepted as black and ‘Palestinian’?

The credentialed media amuse me greatly , and none of them more than The Philadelphia Inquirer. After an article on Monday attempting to normalize transgenderism, which included a hyperlink to the newspaper spending “several months chronicling the lives of two transgender women making their way in rural Dauphin County,” Tuesday saw the editors tweeting about having given OpEd space to Rann Miller, an educator and freelance writer based in South Jersey, telling us, in the words of John Prine singing about Dear Abby, “You are what you are and you ain’t what you ain’t.”

Sorry about that convoluted sentence, but I missed the article last Friday!

Hannah Gann’s deceit makes the work of Black and brown justice activists harder

If Gann had truly been committed to the justice movement, she would have known the troubling history of white infiltrators in Black organizations who attempted to sabotage the struggle for freedom.

Should the good work of every sinner be destroyed, because he was a sinner? John 8:7

Should we ban Volkswagens because Adolf Hitler helped create the company? Millions of people, including millions of Americans have bought the “people’s car,” because it has been practical for them. A lot of students had them when I was in college, though I was not one of them, back in the days of quill pens and inkwells, because they were inexpensive and cheap to operate.

That’s kind of the way I look at this stuff going on now in the Catholic Church . . . and among media who hate the Church:

At sacred Lourdes, Pope Leo confronts a new reminder of the church’s sins

Story by Anthony Faiola, Stefano Pitrelli • Saturday, September 26, 2026

LOURDES, France — The gold-flecked mosaics adorning the Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary here were installed in 2008 for the 150th anniversary of what the Catholic Church recognizes as miraculous apparitions of the Virgin Mary.

Philadelphians really hate law enforcement, at least when it comes to their favored groups Why would the honest people of Philly want to help keep criminals on the streets?

Is it really any surprise that the City of Brotherly Love, the good people thereof who have thrice elected the George Soros-sponsored, criminal-loving and police-hating defense attorney Larry Krasner to be the chief criminal prosecutor just don’t like the laws being enforced?

Philly tells federal court the Trump administration can’t force it to collaborate with ICE

Attorneys for city officials asked a federal judge to toss out the Department of Justice’s challenge to a city ordinance that prohibits city agencies and employees from honoring immigration detainers.
