LARRY KRASNER IS COOKED! Philly D.A. Could Face Federal Charges

Posted on | September 15, 2026 | No Comments

NEVER LIE TO THE JUDGE! On any list of “Things a Lawyer Should Never Do,” lying to the judge must always be No. 1. Let me summarize this complex story as briefly as possible: With financial backing from George Soros, Larry Krasner became Philadelphia’s District Attorney in 2018, and immediately instituted a policy of leniency, which he sought to make retroactive by cooperating with the Innocence Project to overturn previous convictions. Among the cases was that of Dennis Johnson, who was 23 years old in August 2007 when he murdered Kenyatta Smith in a Philadelphia convenience store. Backed by the Innocence Project, Johnson sought to have his conviction overturned and, after Krasner was elected, the D.A.’s office was eager to cooperate with Johnson.

A junior staffer in the office was assigned to write a brief conceding the case to Johnson, essentially admitting that previous prosecutors had deprived Johnson of his constitutional rights. However, because Krasner’s handling of such cases had already raised questions (see this long story here), the federal judge overseeing Johnson’s case ordered a hearing — causing “panic” in Krasner’s office.

“Oh, what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive”:

A federal judge said Tuesday that District Attorney Larry Krasner may have broken the law while overseeing a contentious post-conviction case, and he said he referred the matter to the U.S. Attorney’s Office to investigate whether Krasner should be charged with crimes including conspiracy or obstruction of justice.
U.S. District Judge Paul S. Diamond made those stunning statements in a memorandum in which he also ruled that Krasner and one of his top supervisors, Matthew Stiegler, could not longer participate in the case — a matter in which a man is seeking to have his murder conviction overturned.
Diamond wrote that over the past several months, as he conducted hearings to learn more about how attorneys in DA’s office handled that case, testimony from some of Krasner’s staffers revealed actions by Krasner and Stiegler that Diamond called “troubling,” “disturbing” — and potentially illegal.
Those actions, he wrote, included pressuring other staffers to take steps to protect Stiegler and blame one of his subordinates; urging staffers to lie to Diamond in court; and threatening “consequences” for those who did not follow Krasner’s orders.
“I have thus reluctantly concluded that Philadelphia’s highest law enforcement official and one of his top assistants may have violated the law,” Diamond wrote. “In these circumstances, with the issuance of this Memorandum, I refer the DAO, Mr. Krasner, and Stiegler to this District’s United States Attorney’s Office for investigation and other appropriate action.”
Krasner did not provide an immediate comment Tuesday, nor did a spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney’s Office, which would have to determine whether or not to open an investigation or file charges. Diamond, as a judge, cannot do so himself.
The filing was the latest explosive development in the case, which is centered around Dennis Johnson’s 2009 conviction for second-degree murder. Johnson has been fighting to have that conviction overturned, and the matter before Diamond began years ago as a routine petition in federal court.
But in recent months, the case has led to a series of unusual revelations about the inner workings of the district attorney’s office as various lawyers handled the case.
Diamond, in his filing Tuesday, said those assertions were not only proof of significant internal disagreements — but also “evidence of possible criminal wrongdoing by Mr. Krasner and Stiegler.”

Krasner is completely cooked! He’s finished! Done!

Here’s a thread laying out all the mind-boggling (and possibly criminal) malpractice in this case by Krasner’s office:

Ace of Spades has a good rundown here. I am not a lawyer, and understand that Larry Krasner is “presumed innocent,” yadda yadda yadda, but based on my four decades of experience as a journalist, it is my opinion that Krasner is guilty — GUILTY! GUILTY! GUILTY!

Aspiring Rapper Update: The Utterly Unsurprising Death of ‘BloodHound Q50’

Posted on | September 14, 2026 | No Comments

No intelligent person would have predicted a long life for Mikquale Cooper, a/k/a “BloodHound Q50.” In all honesty, it was surprising that Cooper lived to be 22 years old before he got riddled with bullets early Sunday morning on the south side of Chicago. Cooper was a practitioner of what is known as “drill rap,” which involves urban gangsters bragging about their crimes and threatening to murder their rivals:

Drill music . . . is a subgenre of hip-hop music with sonic origins in trap music and lyrical origins in gangsta rap. It began in Chicag0 . . . in the early 2010s. Drill lyricism is noted for its ominous, confrontational nature, often including references to gang rivalries and various retaliatory incidents, sometimes murder, although the subgenre is thematically broader. Drill artists often address authentic, real-life conflicts, at times incorporating artistic expressions such as bravado, taunting, and mockery.
Early drill artists are typically noted for their associations with crime in Chicago, especially with the Black Disciples and Gangster Disciples.

So says Wikipedia. Because I’m neither tone deaf nor retarded, I don’t listen to the stuff myself, but Q50 was quite successful in the genre, having gotten millions of views on YouTube, and more than 400 million streams via online music platforms. Q50 released two albums, “Long Live My Brudda He Prolly Kilt Yo Brudda” and “Get Back Or Die Trying.” Based on YouTube views, however, his greatest success was “Triple 3,” featuring Q50 with two of his buddies, Jeffery Lamar Harris Jr. (a/k/a “BloodHound Lil Jeff”) and Asyrion Malik Hogan (a/k/a “Lil Scoom89”).

Q50 brandishes a pistol in ‘Triple 3’ video

That video has more than 34 million views, but by the time it was released to YouTube (July 14, 2024), both “Lil Jeff” and “Lil Scoom” had been shot to death. “Lil Jeff” was killed June 8, 2024, and surveillance video showed that he lost a gunfight — he went hunting for one of his enemies, but ended up getting shot himself. “Lil Scoom” was shot to death a month later, after an argument escalated to gunfire.

British hiphop aficionado Ross Callum did a documentary about “Lil Jeff,” noting that the rapper claimed to have killed 11 people. Callum then followed up with a documentary about Q50, who claimed to have killed eight people, which would have been 10, he said, except that two survived their shootings. In other words, these guys were basically serial killers, and their murderous reputations actually made them more popular among the tone-deaf retards who listen to this stuff.

Q50 finally got his comeuppance Sunday morning, around 4 a.m.:

Chicago rapper BloodHound Q50 was killed in a brutal early-morning ambush in Chicago — with six masked gunmen allegedly surrounding the Tesla he was in and opening fire.
Q50 — whose real name was Mikquale T. Cooper — was behind the wheel of a white Tesla parked at a BP gas station in Chicago’s Fuller Park neighborhood around 4 AM Sunday when he was gunned down, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.
Police say the 22-year-old had just arrived when a black Infiniti carrying two masked people pulled up alongside him. Around the same time, a silver Honda Accord with four people inside reportedly arrived at another pump.
After the rapper and a 29-year-old female passenger went inside the gas station, one of the masked individuals allegedly went over to the Honda and retrieved objects from inside.
The woman then left the store and drove the Tesla to the store entrance. She got out of the car and let Q50 get behind the wheel. That’s when authorities say the six suspects made their move.
According to the report, two masked gunmen from the Infiniti and four others from the Honda allegedly approached the Tesla and opened fire … striking Q50 in the chest and shoulder. Chicago Fire Department personnel responded, but Q50 was pronounced dead at approximately 4:35 AM, according to the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office.

Surveillance video shows that the killers were using the same machine-gun modified Glocks that Q50 favored for his own crimes. (Live by the switch, die by the switch.) Crime-scene markers suggest nearly 70 shots were fired, and the shooters were not very good at concealing their identities, because online sleuths quickly ID’d them based on their own social media postings. Cops could easily bust these guys.

On the other hand, why bother arresting the killers? It’s not like Q50 was an innocent bystander. He had killed many times before, and would have killed again, if he hadn’t been killed himself. “Self-cleaning oven,” as the cops in Chicago call such a situation, and as long as it’s just gang-bangers killing other gang-bangers, does anyone really care? Q50’s death might be lamented by the kind of tone-deaf retards who listen to “drill,” but that’s it. The rest of us are indifferent, at best. Nothing of value was lost.



 

Rule 5 Sunday: SecTreas Taking The Long Position?

Recently a marketing genius on X yclept Mike Alfred came up with a notion reminiscent of the old Big Johnson Brokerage T-shirts.* He proposed an advertising campaign for Treasury Bonds featuring the extremely attractive Sydney Sweeney. In response, I proposed that they put Ms. Sweeney on the $100 Savings Bonds, resume printing said bonds on paper, and watch them sell out in a week. Secretary Bessent may be gay, but he’s a long way from stupid, and one hopes he sees the merit in harnessing Ms. Sweeney’s beauty in the national interest.

FMJRA 2.0: Can’t Blame The Offense

Posted on | September 13, 2026 | No Comments

— compiled by Wombat-socho

In previous seasons, we’ve had good starting pitching, an okay bullpen, and terrible offense. This season, we have a good offense for once, a fine bullpen…and a miserable starting rotation.* Still, we managed a split in our two-game series against the Orioles before coming home to RFK and dropping two of three to the Cubs. At least we won one at home for once. This leaves us tied with the Red Sox at 10-18, 4 1/2 games behind the Twins.

The Permanent Problem of Liberalism

Posted on | September 12, 2026 | No Comments

Every time I use the word liberalism — as it has been commonly used in the United States for decades, describing the belief system associated with the Democratic Party — some pedant will invariably show up in the comments to scold me with a lecture about “classical liberalism” as if I’m an ignorant schoolboy in need of their tutelage, which I am not. Nobody needs to teach me about John Locke, Adam Smith, et al., whose books have been on my shelves for 30 years. Nor am I ignorant of the fact that most young left-wingers nowadays make a point of scorning liberals, instead referring to themselves as progressives or socialists.

Yes, I know that Friedrich Hayek, among others, did not call himself a “conservative,” and that when Bill Buckley started out in the long career that would make him the de facto intellectual leader of the conservative movement in America, he saw his role in the conflict as a defense of “individualism” against “collectivism.” Petty quarrels over labels, however, are a waste of mental energy, and if you have nothing better to do, you really need to reassess your priorities. We march onward.

Nearly all public commentary Friday was devoted to the 25th anniversary of 9/11. Shane Hachey is a particular type of conservative, a Midwesterner who enlisted in the Army, then went to college, eventually getting a bachelor’s degree from Columbia University before adding a law degree from Harvard. His 9/11 anniversary column was remarkable:

On Sept. 11, 2001, I was starting my second semester at Columbia University. I had transferred from a state school in Minnesota at the start of the year, and was embarking on my own little slice of life New York adventure.
The aftermath of Sept. 11 was my first real-world collision with moral relativism. I honestly don’t know if I had ever thought consciously about it before then. But I encountered it everywhere in the months and years afterwards.
But before the relativism came cowardice.
Days after the attack, I was sitting on the steps at Columbia, talking to a sophomore I knew. We were ruminating over what had happened and what may happen, and he said something that jarred me: “If there’s a draft, I’m moving to Canada.” . . .
As odious as that sentiment was, the more common feeling I encountered was one of resigned relativism, perhaps mixed with or used as an excuse for cowardice. For example, someone once asked me at a student party, “What do you expect when you build towers to the sky…? Someone’s going to try to knock them down.” As if we brought it on ourselves, with our own Babylonian hubris. In one of my classes that semester, another student said that he was “really disturbed by all the flag-waving” that had been happening since the attack. . . .
I soon learned that Columbia students, like other New York intellectuals, were too smart for simple-minded concepts like patriotism. . . .
When I talk to normal people in the rest of America about coastal elites, relativism, and intellectual snobbery, I often tell these stories, and I end with this: however depraved, nihilistic, and relativistic you think these people are, they are far worse than that. You have no idea. Only by seeing their immediate, instinctive reaction mere miles from where the World Trade Center collapsed, in the city they call home, can you see the fruits of their philosophy in full bloom.

You can read the whole thing. What struck me was how, 25 years later, we’re still stuck with the same problem — the decadent elites haven’t changed, except insofar as they’ve gotten worse. And, in point of fact, the problem hasn’t really changed since before I was born.

In 1959, Buckley published Up From Liberalism, in which he recounted an early controversy of his career involving Eleanor Roosevelt. FDR’s widow was more or less the living symbol of liberalism in the 1950s, viewed as the guardian of her late husband’s legacy. During the uproar over Joe McCarthy’s anti-Communist investigations, Mrs. Roosevelt wrote a column “likening McCarthyism to Hitlerism,” as Buckley explained and, during a television appearance, Buckley suggested that, if Mrs. Roosevelt encountered McCarthy at a cocktail party, she would refuse to shake his hand, whereas she would have no such compunction about shaking hands with Andrey Vyshinsky, who was at the time the Soviet Union’s representative at the United Nations.

Buckley’s point was that Vyshinsky had infamously presided over the show trials during Stalin’s “Great Purge” in the 1930s, and certainly was guilty of sending many men to their deaths on false charges (the total executed during the “Great Purge” was nearly 700,000, it has been calculated). Obviously, Vyshinsky’s actions were far worse than anything that Joe McCarthy was ever accused of doing and, it should be noted, McCarthy was an American trying to protect his country from the deadly evils of Communism. Yet liberals like Mrs. Roosevelt could not accept that Communism was an evil worth fighting, and the fact that McCarthy was investigating Communist subversion made him a veritable Hitler.

This attitude (“anti-anti-Communism,” as it was sometimes called) foreshadowed the similar attitude toward Islamic terrorism that Shane Hachey encountered at Columbia University after 9/11. If liberalism means anything, it means a commitment to equality — or Equality, with a capital “E,” denoting its quasi-religious status in the liberal mind. The liberal is unable to say that Islam (or Communism) is wrong and bad, because the Muslim or the Communist must be treated as an equal. The fact that an avowed enemy seeks to kill us — well, who are we to say that he is wrong for this? Instead, the liberal believes, we must critically examine ourselves to see what we have done to provoke the enemy’s murderous rage. Of course, it’s lunacy to think like this, but the liberal never breaks down his arguments into the form of a syllogism, with the premises clearly delineated and the structure of the argument made evident. Instead, his fanatical commitment to Equality is an unexamined prejudice from which every error of his belief emerges.

Up From Liberalism was published the same year I was born, and America today faces the same basic problem that Buckley encountered when dealing with the likes of Eleanor Roosevelt. Liberals are so certain of their moral and intellectual superiority that, even when their errors are pointed out with the utmost precision — as Buckley did — they refuse to acknowledge they have been proven wrong. No matter how skillfully you deploy facts and logic to contradict them, nothing can persuade them to admit their mistake or change their policy, because this would be tantamount to confessing that they are not actually so superior.

Andrey Vyshinsky was a despicable monster, but Eleanor Roosevelt could not bring herself to say this, in the same way that liberals (or “progressives,” or whatever else they may call themselves) nowadays cannot bring themselves to denounce Hamas terrorists or the murderous regime in Iran. No, because to do so would be to agree with Republicans, and admitting that Republicans are right about something — anything — is simply unthinkable to them. Republicans are always the villains in the soap opera melodrama scripted by liberals, whether it’s Joe McCarthy, Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush or Donald Trump.

You see the point of this narrative — the emotional payoff of the melodrama — is that the liberal is always the hero, deserving praise and admiration for his courage in opposing the Republican villain. Once you recognize this, you realize why there is no point arguing with the liberal. He cannot be persuaded by facts or logic, because facts and logic are not the basis of his belief system. And this is why I say that liberalism is a permanent problem. If we could not vanquish liberalism in 70 years, during which time we had such brilliant minds as Buckley advocating for the conservative cause, isn’t it the height of folly to imagine we’ll be able to declare a final victory anytime in the foreseeable future?

Keep marching, boys. We’ve still got a long way to go.
