You in a heap o’ trouble boy! But judicial stupidity created at least one more victim

I might not have written about this, were it not for two paragraphs from Philly Crime Update:

Gerald Zalewski, 43, was sentenced Monday to an additional 2 to 7 years in state prison, on top of the 5 to 20-year sentence he received after pleading guilty in 2006 to sexually assaulting a 13-year-old in Montgomery County.

According to prosecutors, Zalewski fled the United States before his 2006 sentencing hearing and remained a fugitive until resurfacing in England, where he was later convicted of raping another 13-year-old in 2016.

We should never release murderers until their victims come back to life!

Tuesday morning’s lead editorial in The Philadelphia Inquirer is a complaint that President Trump is fighting a war on the truth by claiming that the credentialed media often publish #FakeNews, while at the same time publishing, as an ostensibly ‘straight news’ story that is actually a sob story about a convicted murderer who wants to get out of prison.

Yet more conspiracy theories about Mitch McConnell!

I worked at the University of Kentucky Hospital when I was in grad school, as a ward clerk. Fun enough job, but it was also a nowhere job. My wife worked there at the same time, as a nursing assistant, while she was in nursing school. If there’s anything I can tell you about hospitals, it’s that they have hundreds of employees: they are not all doctors and nurses, but pharmacy technicians, X-Ray techs, respiratory therapists, phlebotomists, housekeepers, cooks, dining room personnel, admissions employees, lab techs, and probably a dozen others which don’t come to mind at the moment.

And one other thing I can tell you about hospitals: all of those people gossip! If a doctor is f(ornicating) a nurse, it doesn’t stay a secret. If a ward clerk is having an affair with a nursing assistant, it isn’t long before knowledge of that spreads. If a pharmacy tech is homosexual but still closeted, it becomes common knowledge anyway. It’s not just consensual sex between single people; adultery happens!

So, it bugs me that there are so many conspiracy theorists out there pushing the notion that Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has died, but it’s being covered up. And while all of those links are from Twitter — I refuse to call it 𝕏 — our liberal friends on Bluesky are just as bad. Continue reading →

Killadelphia: You in a heap o’ trouble, boy!

Zakah Johnson, 15, photo via KYW News Radio. You know the Inky would never publish his mugshot.

From Bohemian Rhapsody:

Mama, just killed a man
Put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger, now he’s dead
Mama, life had just begun
But now I’ve gone and thrown it all away
Mama, ooh, didn’t mean to make you cry
If I’m not back again this time tomorrow
Carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters

I will embed the video below the fold in this article; I don’t want it cluttering up the main page.

District Attorney Larry Krasner said, as reported by The Philadelphia Inquirer,

his defense work doesn’t make him soft on crime, but rather someone who can differentiate between redeemable defendants and hardened criminals.

So, I wonder whether Mr Krasner will see this 15-year-old suspect as a “redeemable defendant” or an already “hardened criminal”?

Even The Philadelphia Inquirer has questions about defending Larry Krasner At what point does the newspaper give up on a criminal-loving and police-hating prosecutor?

We have frequently noted The Philadelphia Inquirer’s seemingly unqualified support for the city’s George Soros-sponsored — $1.7 million in 2017 and $1.2 million in 2021 — criminal-loving, police-hating District Attorney, Larry Krasner, but even the Inky has been unable to avoid covering the news about Mr Krasner’s problems.

The newspaper said of Mr Krasner, in 2017:

Krasner says his defense work doesn’t make him soft on crime, but rather someone who can differentiate between redeemable defendants and hardened criminals.

Yet the District Attorney was upset that two police officers, in two separate cases, received lower sentences, even though it was conceded that they posed no future threats. Apparently Mr Krasner doesn’t see police officers as “redeemable defendants.”

Now there’s this:

DA’s office says two prosecutors who said Krasner told them to ‘protect the office’ in controversial case are ‘ill-informed’

This is what happens when the George Soros-sponsored, criminal-loving and police-hating “progressive” prosecutors get elected

On Thursday morning, the Editorial Board of The Philadelphia Inquirer wrote:

This board has long supported (District Attorney Larry) Krasner’s efforts to examine claims of wrongful convictions. But the board does not support cutting corners or lying to the court.

There is an assumption behind that short paragraph, an assumption that there are wrongful convictions. And while the Board do not support “cutting corners or lying to the court,” that very same Editorial Board headlined, on July 2nd, “Krasner isn’t perfect. The Pa. Supreme Court’s ruling on his exoneration push is worse. Ordering the state’s top prosecutor to oversee conviction reviews by Philadelphia’s district attorney is an unprecedented remedy that may create more problems than it solves.” What are we to conclude other than the Board is less concerned with not “cutting corners or lying to the court” than they are with freeing more convicted criminals?

It’s not as though some of the previously convicted murderers that Mr Krasner got freed didn’t go on to kill other people. Continue reading →

Democrats playing stupid games

Adam Kinzinger’s Twitter biography says he is “Dad. Husband. Former GOP congressman. Voted to impeach Trump. Now fighting for our democracy. Lt. Col. @AirNatlGuard (ret). Founder @thecountryfirst.”

Mr Kinzinger is very adamant about enforcing our laws:

Kinzinger was one of the 10 Republicans who voted to impeach Trump for incitement of insurrection in his second impeachment. He also voted to create, and was subsequently appointed to serve on, the select committee to investigate the 2021 United States Capitol attack.

On 2022, during the January 6th panel, Kinzinger criticized 5 Republican lawmakers including Matt Gaetz and Scott Perry, saying: “The only reason I know to ask for a pardon is because you think you’ve committed a crime.”

On January 20, 2025, President Joe Biden announced a preemptive pardon for the January 6th Committee members including Kinzinger from potential future prosecution by the incoming Trump administration.

Mr Kinzinger accepted the pardon, which, by his own words, means he thinks he committed a crime. Continue reading →

To paraphrase what Mary McCarthy once said about Lillian Hellman, “Every word (Larry Krasner says) is a lie, including ‘and’ and ‘the’.”

Our nation’s third oldest, continuously-published daily newspaper, the winner of twenty Pultizer Prizes and the newspaper of record for the entire metropolitan area, has been doing what it can do defend the George Soros-sponsored, criminal-loving and police-hating District Attorney, Larry Krasner, but things have been falling apart for Mr Krasner so badly that even the Inky has to report on what has been happening.

One of DA Larry Krasner’s top advisers once sent $100 to a man in prison for murder who’s now appealing his conviction. It’s under investigation.

Yes, political party is important! RINOs are far preferable to Democrats claiming to be 'moderate'.

In 2014, then Kentucky Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes, the daughter of Jerry Lundergan, a former Kentucky Democratic chairman and state representative, was the Democratic nominee facing Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) in his re-election campaign. In the conservative Bluegrass State, Mrs Grimes was running a carefully tempered campaign, running as a moderate. In a race rated only “lean Republican,”[1]Carroll, James R. (August 3, 2013). “Mitch McConnell, Alison Lundergan Grimes race a ‘toss up,’ according to non-partisan observer“. The Courier-Journal. Footnote via … Continue reading Mr McConnell stomped her with 56.19% of the vote; so much for polling! About the only silver lining Mrs Grimes could see in that is that she did better against the then-Senate Minority Leader than the repugnant Amy McGrath Henderson did six years later.

Naturally, the Commonwealth’s two largest newspapers, The (Louisville) Courier-Journal and Lexington Herald-Leader endorsed Mrs Grimes, but what my best friend used to call the Herald-Liberal always endorses Democrats.

Humorously, Mrs Grimes was feted at a fundraiser by Harvey Wallbanger Weinstein, though that was before his scumbag reputation was widely known. Continue reading →
