Anti-Semitism
With their anti-Semitic attack on Goldie’s on Sansom Street, the Philly Palestine Coalition has revealed (again) its true colors, which are these: Despite a remarkably soft Inquirer story on the attack, the words and actions of the group convict them in the court of public opinion, condemned as anti-Semitism
Anti-Semitism
Thursday will be the 85th anniversary of Kristallnacht, or the Night of Broken Glass, during which the Nazis went on a two-day rampage throughout Germany, smashing Jewish stores, buildings, and synagogues. Streets everywhere were filled with broken glass. It was the harbinger of things to come. Those things included isolating,

I have to give credit to Philadelphia’s favorite only broadsheet, the Philadelphia Inquirer, for calling in a Tuesday editorial for Democratic mayoral candidate Cherelle Parker to debate Republican David Oh. David Oh will get to debate Cherelle Parker. (Photo: Billy Penn) Within hours, Parker, who had been dodging demands

The progressive wave that had been sweeping big cities across America hit a sea wall in dear old Philadelphia. Democrat Cherelle Parker is likely to be Philadellphia’s 100th mayor It is with relief and gratitude that I can say Cherelle Parker will be the 100th mayor of Philadelphia, and

This is going to be shocking, at least to regular readers. I am going to defend Tucker Carlson, a little bit like Mark Antony speaking at Caesar’s graveside. Tucker Carlson: There is this much truth in what I say. (Photo: Bloomberg) The difference is I come neither to bury,

I was having a nightmare the other night, and I awoke in a cold sweat. I rushed to the bathroom and splashed cold water on my face and turned on KYW NewsRadio. OMG! It wasn’t a nightmare. The identity-obsessed Helen Gym is running for mayor. First, the good news.

One thing for sure: When you hear our Sad Sack, clueless mayor call something “racist,” you know one of two things — it is not, and he has no better argument. So you know he’s bullshitting when he claims Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is being “cruel and racist” for bussing
Immigration
Like the majority of Americans, I welcome immigrants. Legal immigrants. Always have, always will, as long as they come here in accordance with our law. “Immigrant” was mentioned in two recent news stories. First, the Inquirer carried a story about an electronic billboard in South Philly near the sports complex
Crime
By Patty-Pat Kozlowski I ride around Philadelphia with no car insurance. I have fake registration stickers and the police can’t pull me over for an expired inspection. You can’t pull me over if you smell pot coming from my car. And even if I match a description of

I don’t pretend the know the ins and outs of how Philly Fighting COVID, which seems to have been an after school extracurricular activity, became Philadelphia’s No. 1 supplier of COVID testing, and then vaccine. Some of it was explained in an Inquirer story that had several notable
Looting
Here it is Wednesday evening and the city of Philadelphia has announced a curfew from 9 p.m. until 6 a.m. No, it’s not because of a hurricane or blizzard. It’s because of another “natural” disaster — a fraction of our citizens who believe they are free to

Not to sprain my arm patting myself on the back, but I thought yesterday’s satire on the “gated community” on the Parkway came off pretty well. It made a serious point, using humor. Just hours later though, I was topped by an Inquirer story. My satire seemed tame when
