So, what would Andy Beshear do? Leave it to Candy Andy to politicize everything

We noted, just two days ago, that, in contrast to foul, fetid, fuming, foggy, filthy Philadelphia, Lexington, Kentucky had seen only four homicides thus far in 2026. Alas! that number will have to be updated:

5 shot, 1 killed at a Lexington park, police say. 4-year-old among those injured

By Karla Ward | Saturday, August 15, 2026 | 8:33 PM EDT | Updated: 10:39 PM EDT

Five people were shot, including one who was killed, in an incident at Lexington’s Charles Young Park Saturday night, according to Lexington Police Chief Lawrence Weathers and Gov. Andy Beshear.

Beshear announced the shooting while speaking at a Kentucky Democratic Party dinner at the Hyatt Regency in downtown Lexington Saturday, but Weathers provided additional information shortly after at the scene of the shooting. Continue reading →

But it’s not my fault!

I confess: I sometimes spend too much time on Facebook, and one of the things that keeps appearing there are posts from people, purporting to be alpha males, telling us that women cannot be trusted, that women will leave you for the handsomer or wealthier guy who happens to come along. Man are strong and blameless, and women are just there for men as long as no one better comes along. Lose your job — unjustly, of course — and women will leave, even though there are hundreds of thousands of wives who have stuck by husbands who’ve faced such reverses. These things are written by ‘men’ who never take responsibility for their own failures, but have to find someone else to blame.

If your wife leaves you, maybe it is because you just weren’t a good enough husband.

Robert Stacy McCain wrote:

Call it The Self-Pity Blame Loop. If you are unwilling to accept responsibility for the consequences of your own behavior, you must seek scapegoats to blame. This leads to a pattern, viewing yourself as the victim of unfair treatment, and indulging in self-pity, while becoming resentful of more fortunate people. . . .

If you know people like this, you know the key to their entire personality involves a single sentence: “It’s not my fault!“

Killadelphia Yes, homicides are down, but that doesn't mean things are good

Our Killadelphia posts have decreased in frequency since the bad old days of 2021 and 2022, and naturally the city’s George Soros-sponsored, criminal-loving and police-hating District Attorney, Larry Krasner, claims that his policies are working, but it’s never a surprise when one killing leads to another in the City of Brotherly Love.

Shooting of Philly couple was likely retribution for earlier killing, sources say

Police are seeking Shariff Perry, 35, in connection with the fatal shooting on Sunday in Strawberry Mansion.

You in a heap o’ trouble, girl! Criminals really are stupid.

As a good Catholic, I have been horrified by the revelations of sexual abuse of minors by priests, but these days, it seems that such sexual abuse of minors has become the province of public school teachers. The abuse by priests helped to widen investigations, put the scandal more into the public eye, and was doing so even before the arrest and suicide of Jeffrey Epstein. Things that got swept under the rug don’t get such anymore.

Family demand answers!

My good friend Robert Stacy McCain has a short series entitled “Family Demands Answers”, which reached the fourth such article at the beginning of this month, and as you might guess the series refers to families loudly complaining about their poor future doctors and astrophysicists being killed while doing something boneheadedly stupid. It’s like a “Hold my beer” moment, but with the police involved.

A father is searching for answers after lawyers say a police pursuit of an ATV ended in his son’s death

Sterling Jones, 22, died after his ATV struck an Uber driver in May. Lawyers for Jones’ father say police should not have been pursuing him in the first place.

The father of a Philadelphia man who was killed in an ATV crash this spring said police officers pursued his son moments before he drove the wrong way down a one-way street, ran a red light, and collided with a sedan. Continue reading →

Could Daniel Pearson be a conservative? His politics are straight Democrat, but every once in a while he expresses conservative sentiments which are in line with civilized behavior

I have thrice speculated that Philadelphia Inquirer columnist and sometime editorial writer Daniel Pearson might be a conservative. He really isn’t, but for a liberal, and especially someone on the staff of the Inky, he is not only willing to interact with people with whom he disagrees, unlike Will Bunch, but actually supports conservative ideas on occasion. The newspaper has frequently supported the George Soros-sponsored, criminal-loving and police-hating District Attorney, but on this occasion he has dared to criticize Larry Krasner:

Krasner misses a chance to send a message against violence on SEPTA

On Oct. 26, 2023, Bernard Gribbin became the first city transit operator to die by gunfire while on the job. Family members called him “the best of the best,” and described the 48-year-old Army veteran as a man who loved Philadelphia, who proudly took out-of-town relatives on tours of the city when they came to visit, and who served the public by working as a bus operator — a demanding, underpaid, and utterly essential job.

Democrisy! If it weren’t for double standards, they’d have no standards at all

Minnesota Lynx head Coach Cheryl Reeve sought to make a political statement during her teams home game against the Indiana Fever by wearing a t-shirt under her open jacket which proclaimed “Trans Kids Belong”. This was seen as a shot at Indiana’s wing guard Sophie Cunningham, who famously stated that males need to be kept out of women’s and girls’ locker rooms and off their sports teams.

Well, to the surprise of absolutely no one, Coach Reeve had a different attitude when it came to coaching.

‘Sportswriter’ injects race into his argument, because Sophie Cunningham is white and makes sense

If there’s one thing our good friends on the left cannot stand, it’s an uppity, mouthy, attractive woman who doesn’t toe the liberal line. That’s a demographic problem for them, as even The Washington Post reported that “Conservatives really are better looking.”

Sophie Cunningham isn’t rejecting politics. She’s cashing in on them

by Howard Bryant | Sunday, August 2, 2026 | 5:00 AM EDT

Conservatives once demanded sports stay apolitical. Now they’ve embraced a new culture-war politics, and Sophie Cunningham has become one of its most valuable stars

Invoking a wounded innocence that their desire for sports to be simple, just like they used to be, conservatives for a decade and a half have dreaded the word “politics”. Now they cannot get enough.

Philadelphia Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio has spent 40 years in the National Football League unknown except for his defensive schemes, but last week opened his press remarks mocking the congressional testimony of Dr Anthony Fauci, jokingly invoking the Fifth Amendment before taking questions. Apropos of nothing, President Trump publicly surmised that LeBron James might be a racist. Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham is now in the act, accepting the role as the right’s anti-Black, anti-transgender culture war ambassador, the role originally intended for Caitlin Clark.

BZZT! Wrong answer! At what point was either Miss Clark assigned, or Miss Cunningham accepted, “the right’s anti-Black” ambassador? Both ladies play in the WNBA, a league which has a significant number, and perhaps a majority of black athletes. Have either of those ladies said anything negative about black teammates or opponents based on their race? Continue reading →
