Defendant apologizes for deadly Lexington shooting during his murder trial
By Taylor Six | Monday, August 24, 2026 | 1:00 PM EDT
The man charged with killing a Lexington father in a downtown parking lot testified at his own trial Monday, expressing remorse and saying the shooting was a “stain on him that will never go away.”
That won’t go away for Raymar Webb, either, because he’s been stone-cold graveyard dead for over five years now. Continue reading
My good friend and sometime blog pinch hitter William Teach noted the Associated Press story, “ICE arrests jumped to nearly 50,000 in July, the highest monthly total of Trump’s second term.” That’s great, but let’s do the math. 50,000 arrests, and hopefully deportations, times 12 equals just 600,000 per year. In the 30 months remaining in President Trump’s term, that works out to 1,500,000, which would make a small dent in the population of illegal immigrants in our country. If we assume that J D Vance becomes the next President, and he continues President Trump’s immigration enforcement policies for two full terms, 96 months, that has an additional 4,800,000 illegals arrested and hopefully deported, a nice number, but still just a fraction of the number of illegals already here.
The real solution is for real Americans to shun companies that employ illegal immigrants: cost them profits, at which point they’ll get rid of the illegals or go out of business, and the illegals will self deport. Yes, we need actual enforcement of our laws against hiring illegals, enforcement which sends the violators to prison. A few employers spending quality time Leavenworth will get the others to comply quickly. Continue reading
We previously noted the killing of 78-year-old Steve Alexander, killed by what reporters Ellie Rushing and Jesse Bunch called a “stray bullet” as four men jumped out of an SUV and fired more than fifty rounds “toward a group of young men on the sidewalk.” The Philadelphia Inquirer has been very careful not to call it a gang hit, at least in the articles I have seen so far, but they have at least stated that the 30-year-old victim, previously referred to as being 31-years old, was the actual target.
Over 50 rounds fired, three people struck, only one killed, and he wasn’t even the target, but just collateral damage. Gang-bangers are deadly, but still notoriously bad shots.
On August 10th, the city’s George Soros-sponsored, criminal-loving and police-hating District Attorney, Larry Krasner, said, after six homicides the previous weekend, “We had a bad weekend. We’re not having a bad year.”
Well, the bad weekends are continuing: Continue reading
My good friend — OK, OK, I’ve never actually met him, but we follow each other on Twitter! — Dr Keeneland Dan got it just about right:
The left seem determined to hold that the ‘transgendered’ are actually the sex they claim to be, rather than the sex biology has made them. They believe that men and women are absolutely equal, something which should be true under the law, but is clearly not the case when it comes to physical ability. Males are simply, as a general thing, bigger, taller, stronger, quicker, and faster than females; the concept of sexual dimorphism has been known for as long as humans were aware of sex, and it exists not only in humans, but virtually all animals. Males being larger and stronger than females occurs in most animal species, though the reverse is true in a few of them. But those who insist that men and women are absolutely equal simply cannot bear to acknowledge that: if men are bigger and stronger than women, then the left and the feminists worry that such implies that men are superior to women, and that simply cannot be accepted.

My good friend Dave Huber, Hube from my Delaware days and previous blog, noted on The College Fix the utter indoctrination of the education establishment when it comes to the cockamamie idea that girls can be boys and boys can be girls:
Colorado teacher reprimanded for wearing shirt affirming biological sex to educator workshop
By Dave Huber – Associate Editor | Friday, August 21, 2026
A Colorado elementary school teacher allegedly was reprimanded for wearing a shirt emblazoned with “XX-XY,” a popular symbol for noting there are only two genders.
But Stacy Adair said she was attending a pre-school-year inservice — a teacher professional development at which no students were present. Continue reading
I have said it before: when we annex Canada, we need to leave Ontario and Quebec out of it!
“Responds by Hitting a Deep Three”: WNBA World Reacts As Sophie Cunningham Gets Booed in Toronto
Chaitanya Sharma | Wednesday, August 19, 2026 | 2:05 AM EDT
The Toronto Tempo hosted the Indiana Fever on Tuesday. The Fever got the better of the home team, who were looking to get back to winning ways after a tough stretch of 10 straight losses. Unfortunately for Toronto, the streak extended to 11 as the Fever won their fifth straight game.
While there were many key contributors for the Fever, the Toronto crowd seemed focused on one opposition player more than others. Sophie Cunningham was the recipient of a special welcome from the Tempo fans and was repeatedly booed over the course of the game. Continue reading
The First Street Journal has twice reported on the mass shooting in Charles Young Park in Lexington, Kentucky. We also noted the murder of a 78-year-old man in North Philadelphia Tuesday afternoon.
But there’s a significant difference in coverage between two newspapers to which we subscribe, The Philadelphia Inquirer and Lexington Herald-Leader. The Lexington newspaper is, to put it frankly, dying. Staff have been cut, there have been three General Managers in just a few years, and the paper, which once covered most of eastern and southeastern Kentucky, is a mere shadow if its former self, almost entirely restricted to Lexington now, and print publishing only thrice a week.

We noted, just a few days ago, that there had been 108 murders in the City of Brotherly Love, through Sunday, August 9th. The city’s George Soros-sponsored, criminal-loving and police-hating District Attorney, Larry Krasner, following that weekend in which six people were murdered, said:
We had a bad weekend. We’re not having a bad year.
I contrasted Philly’s murder rate with that of Lexington, Kentucky, which, when I wrote, had four homicides all year, noting that Philly was 4.77 times Lexington’s size but has 27 times as many killings. Then Lexington had its fifth murder, as we reported here and here.
Well, it looks like Philly didn’t want to be left behind!
