Philadelphia: Murder City, U.S.A.

Posted on | October 14, 2020 | 3 Comments

If you want to stay alive, stay out of Philadelphia. Earlier this month, the total of murders in the city surpassed last year’s total:

The police commissioner says gun violence in Philadephia is an epidemic that the department is battling.
“We are not giving up, we are not waving the white flag, and we are not taking our foot off the gas,” said Commissioner Danielle Outlaw.
The city controller said [Oct. 6] that Philadelphia is on par to reach 450 murders this year.
“At the start of a new week, we once again find ourselves lamenting another weekend marred by gun violence. Yesterday, we experienced a Monday where six people were senselessly killed,” said Commissioner Danielle Outlaw . . .

(Note the phrase “gun violence,” as if firearms were the cause of this “epidemic.” The human factor — the criminals who actually commit these murders — disappears in this mechanical view.)

According to figures released by Philadephia officials, shooting incidents are up 57% over 2019 rates. The number of shooting victims is up 47% compared to last year.
Homicide numbers have now eclipsed last year’s total for the entire year, now standing at 365 murders. . . .
“The notion that the police department alone can cure the pandemic of gun violence is not only erroneous but it absolves other stakeholders their duty to participate in this public health crisis,” said Outlaw.
Mayor Jim Kenney says economic factors are also leading to the violence spike and that police officers are doing their best.
“They are patrolling our streets trying to get between combatants that are dead set on killing each other. If you couple in the pandemic and economic crisis and the rising gun violence it’s all just a toxic stew,” said Mayor Kenney.

It’s the “pandemic,” the “economic crisis” and guns themselves causing this, says Mayor Kenney. Speaking of mayors, the last Republican mayor of Philadelphia left office in 1952. Philadelphia has been a Democrat fiefdom for nearly 70 years, but we’re not supposed to mention this when someone notice the murdered corpses piling up in city streets.

Dana Pico reminds us of the real cause of Philly’s crime wave:

Larry Krasner, who was elected District Attorney in Philadelphia in 2017, and was the beneficiary of a huge campaign contribution from leftist billionaire George Soros, is a leftist who hates the police and doesn’t pursue supposedly petty offenses, and ran on a platform saying he would:

Stop prosecuting insufficient and insignificant cases
Review past convictions, free the wrongfully convicted
Stop cash bail imprisonment
Treat addiction as an illness, not a crime
Protect immigrants while protecting everybody
Reject a return to the failed drug wars of the past
Stand up to police misconduct

The wholly predictable results? In 2018, Mr Krasner’s first year in office, city homicides jumped from 315 to 353, a 12.06% increase.

Question: What percentage of homicide suspects have prior felony convictions on their record? This is a point I’ve previously made:

People don’t usually begin their criminal careers with murder. No, they start small — a robbery here, a burglary there — and cycle in and out of the criminal justice system for a few years until, one day, they commit a heinous atrocity. Then everybody looks at their arrest records and says, “Why wasn’t this monster already behind bars?”

Many murders in Philadelphia and other cities don’t involve innocent victims; it’s gangs of drug dealers fighting over “turf.” A gangster killed by rival gangsters is no cause for mourning, but no honest citizen would wish to live in a community where the streets are ruled by gangsters. That’s why nearly all the people who live there are Democrats.

In 2016, Hillary Clinton got 83% of the vote in Philadelphia.

‘Well, We Just Have to Win Then’

Posted on | October 13, 2020 | 2 Comments

Politics is not about debate. Politics isn’t about compromise. It is not about “image.” Ultimately, politics is about power.

This is something Republicans have a habit of forgetting. Because the Republican Party represents the respectable middle class, its leaders tend to be concerned with bourgeois respectability, an encumbrance which does not inhibit Democrats. Having assembled a coalition of the aggrieved and impoverished — including criminals, drug addicts, perverts and decadent intellectuals — Democrats unapologetically advocate the selfish interests of their constituent groups, whereas Republicans seem almost embarrassed by their own middle-class supporters.

Republicans have long complained about how Democrats are able to get away with things that no Republican would even dare attempt. The way Democrats turn Supreme Court confirmation hearings into bizarre “show trial” circuses — first with Brett Kavanaugh, now with Amy Coney Barrett, continuing a tradition that dates back to the original “Borking” — is an example of this disparity. Never have Republicans done to a Democratic nominee what Democrats routinely do to GOP nominees. Democrats can get away with this because most of the media (being decadent intellectuals) are part of their coalition, and can be trusted to apply the desired partisan “spin” to these political dramas.

Democrats are not embarrassed about seeking power, and make no apologies about wielding power. They constantly accuse Republicans of authoritarian ambitions, Democrats openly act in dictatorial manner whenever they obtain power. Just look at the way Democratic governors like Andrew Cuomo, Gretchen Whitmer and Gavin Newsom have imposed draconian policies in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

This morning, I made the mistake of turning up the sound on my office TV, and endured Sen. Diane Feinstein’s questioning of Judge Barrett. A more shameless exercise in emotional pandering could scarcely be imagined, and I turned down the sound before Feinstein finished, rather than to let this spectacle further disturb my mind.

What we are witnessing, not only in these Senate hearings, but on a daily basis in the presidential campaign, is a remorseless crusade by Democrats in pursuit of power. Anyone claiming to be a conservative must oppose this, and I cannot imagine how David French, Rick Wilson, et al., justify their project of sabotaging the Republican opposition, merely because of their personal distaste for President Trump.

There’s an old country saying, “Any stick to beat a mad dog,” which is to say, in an emergency (e.g., attacked by a rabid animal) one does not hesitate to use whatever weapon comes to hand in self-defense. Such is our case now, and as we see the Democrats foaming at the mouth and snarling with bared fangs, we ought to be grateful to Trump for volunteering as the stick with which we beat these dangerous beasts.

What a lot of people don’t understand about me is that I was born and raised a Democrat, in a place and time where no one ever had to apologize for being a Democrat. In the 1990s — during the first term of Bill Clinton — I found myself disgusted by Clinton’s cruel betrayal of the loyalty of Democrats like me. Pandering to the “soccer mom” vote, Clinton signed into law the 1994 crime bill that included a ban on so-called “assault weapons” (certain semi-automatic rifles which were really not assault weapons at all). Never could I have imagined that a Democratic president, whom I had vocally supported in his 1992 campaign, would so casually infringe our Second Amendment rights. And buddy, that was it for me. My eyes were suddenly opened to the reality that the party to which I had given my loyalty did not reciprocate that loyalty. You don’t get a second chance to stab me in the back.

Getting ripped off, sold out and fucked over by Bill Clinton had a rather profound effect on my worldview. Mainly, it taught me to be deeply cynical about politics. People who claim to be our political “leaders” are all too often only in it for themselves — wealth, status, the aggrandizement of their own egos — and this is true also of most of the pundits and party operatives who cluster around politics. Does anyone believe that Reed Galen, John Weaver or any of the other scoundrels at The Lincoln Project are motivated by lofty ideals? Did any of that rotten #NeverTrump crew ever actually have any respect for Republican voters?

Well, I started writing this with a particular point in mind and see that I’ve digressed too far on that detour. My point is that our current crisis ought to teach conservatives a thing or two about why the Republican Party has been losing for so long. Democrats understand politics as an expression of power in a way that Republicans do not. Think back to the doomstruck debacle of 2008 John McCain campaign. Or think about the way the GOP establishment forced Mitt Romney down the throats of Republican primary voters. Good-bye to all that, and good riddance.

In 1998, the Lewinsky scandal threatened to destroy Bill Clinton’s presidency. The day the scandal broke, Clinton got a call in the White House from his former campaign adviser Dick Morris:

The consultant testified that he assured the President that “there’s a great capacity for forgiveness in this country, and you should consider tapping into it.”
“But what about the legal thing?” Morris says Clinton replied. “You know, Starr and perjury and all?” Clinton had already denied the affair in his Jones deposition, but, Morris says, the President admitted to him that “with this girl I just slipped up.”
Morris says he took a poll on the voters’ willingness to forgive confessed adultery. He phoned back a few hours later to tell Clinton that voters would forgive adultery “but not perjury or obstruction of justice.” In other words, it was already too late. Morris testified that Clinton said, “Well, we just have to win then.”

See my point? That backstabbing swindler knew what politics is really about. There are no participation trophies for second place in politics. You either win, or you go home. What we are facing, with three weeks to go until Election Day, is either victory or defeat. And you can be sure that if Democrats win, they will not be merciful toward their enemies. There will be no olive branches offered to their vanquished foes.

We shall be trampled down, trodden under, punished and humiliated in a vindictive partisan witch hunt against all the “deplorables” who prevented Hillary from becoming president. If Trump is defeated, there will be very little remaining hope that we can prevent Democrats from turning America into a one-party state, where opposition will be practically impossible, and dissent will be silenced. We can expect no assistance from the useful idiots who climbed aboard the Evan McMullin bandwagon four years ago. We are at coffin corner, my friends.

“Well, we just have to win then.”

Selah.

Annual Admiral Of The Ocean Sea Appreciation Post

Posted on | October 12, 2020 | 1 Comment

— compiled by Wombat-socho

Today President Trump proclaimed Columbus Day, taking a swing at “radical activists” trying to undermine the legacy of the great explorer. Well, the best defense against these leftist ninnies is the truth, and what better way to find the truth than by reading Samuel Eliot Morison’s classic Admiral of the Ocean Sea, a “vivid and definitive” biography buttressed by Morison’s 1939 expedition to retrace the route taken by Columbus on his way to the New World. As for the radical activists, Conquistador-chan has a few words:*

Defending Western Civilization, even if only on the Internet, gets tiresome, and while admiring pretty girls is good, settling down with a good book is also good. I’d like to recommend Larry Correia’s latest novel, Destroyer of Worlds, the third in his “Saga Of The Forgotten Warrior” series. Former Protector Ashok Vadal has survived his battle against the assassins’ guild, and now leads an army of untouchables to what they all hope is safety, but his former brothers are on his trail, eager to bring him down and end the rebellion. Correia has done an excellent job of depicting a society based on the Indian caste system, as well as creating a cast of characters suited to the epic tale he’s telling.

While at the Emergency Holographic Convention in Clarksville last month, I picked up a copy of Michael Z. Williamson’s Tide of Battle, which is half short stories and half humor along the lines of his Hugo-nominated collection Wisdom From My Internet. The short stories are a mix of tales from the Freehold universe and elsewhere; there’s science fiction and fantasy, including the chilling “Soft Casualties” and the amusing zombie apocalypse tale “How Do You Solve A Problem Like Grandpa?” Very much worth your time.

I also reread the original There Will Be War anthology, edited by the late Jerry Pournelle & John F. Carr; this is a treasure trove of outstanding short SF including the original version of Orson Scott Card’s legendary “Ender’s Game”, and also includes some important historical documents on the roots of what became the Strategic Defense Initiative.

I was fortunate enough to find a hardback copy of Alistair Horne’s The Fall Of Paris: The Siege And The Commune in a local used bookstore, which means I now have his complete Franco-Prussian Wars trilogy…anyhow, Horne is unsparing in his criticism of the inept Second Empire and the feckless Communards who took over Paris mere months after the city was surrendered to the Imperial German Army, which itself had only recently been assembled from the armies of the several German states by the legendary “Iron Chancellor”, Otto von Bismarck. One can’t stop there, though, for the surrender of Alsace-Lorraine to Germany in the treaty that ended the war bred a thirst for revenge even as the French Army learned all the wrong lessons from its humiliations in 1870. This sets the stage for The Price Of Glory, which is mainly about the horrific Battle of Verdun, but by necessity also provides a precis of the First World War on all three fronts (four if you want to include the U-boat campaign) by way of illustrating the political and military pressures that drove the Germans and the Allies on the Western Front. Which brings us around to Morison again; Admiral Morison was forthright in his belief that history should be written in a manner both authoritative and popular (i.e readable by the average fellow), and Horne’s books are both.

*Yes, this pertains more to the Aztecs than the rest of the Native American tribes, but it applies to the ones that weren’t cannibals, too.

Denver: ‘Mostly Peaceful’ Protest Until Gunman Murdered a Trump Supporter

Posted on | October 12, 2020 | 2 Comments

Nothing quite so perfectly illustrates what’s wrong with America’s media class as what happened Saturday in Denver. A group of conservative “Patriots” announced a pro-police rally. The organizer of the event said the intention was “to make a public show of force after communist and socialist protesters broke up a pro-police rally in July.”

Communists — yes, self-described Communists — then announced their own counter-protest, declaring on Facebook:

Rightwing vigilante violence against anti-racist protesters has become commonplace. Especially since, both locally and nationally, the cops and courts have mostly given these terrorists a green light.
But we are undeterred! We feel it is our responsibility to vocally oppose fascists every time the try to assemble. And we hope you feel the same way! And what are our options? To cede our streets to them? That’s how you get Hitlers.

You see how Communists deploy words like “fascist” and “terrorist” against anyone who disagrees with them, and make the preemptive accusation of “vigilante violence” against the people who were, in fact, rallying in defense of law enforcement. This is how a pro-police, law-and-order rally is made to seem like something sinister and dangerous. And the media eagerly regurgitates this Communist propaganda narrative.

By publicizing the Communist message, of course, the media acted as recruiters for the counter-protest, encouraging their audience to turn out and fight the alleged “fascists” (i.e., the ones who are for the police and against rioting). The predictable result is violence:

A private security guard is being held as a suspect in a deadly shooting near the Denver Art Museum, according to the Denver Police Department (DPD).
Matthew Dolloff, 30, is being held at the Denver Downtown Detention Center on suspicion of first degree murder. He has not been formally charged.
Dolloff was contracted through Pinkerton by 9NEWS. It has been the practice of 9NEWS for a number of months to contract private security to accompany staff at protests.
DPD originally took two people into custody and later found the second individual, a 9NEWS producer who works in the investigative unit, was not involved in the incident. The producer is no longer in police custody and is not a suspect.
This incident occurred beneath a city police surveillance camera and police confirmed they have footage of what happened.
DPD said that a little before 3:50 p.m. there was some sort of verbal altercation just as protesters were leaving the area.
Someone sprayed pepper spray and DPD said that is when at least one shot was fired.

This “contracted through Pinkerton” claim has proven false. We’ll get to that part of the story in a second, but first we must tell you that 4chan — that unruly hive of hackers — identified Dolloff within two hours of the shooting, whereas it wasn’t until Sunday afternoon that the media named him. Even 9News (KUSA-TV, the Denver NBC affiliate) didn’t name him until police issued a statement Sunday, despite the obvious fact that (a) many employees of 9News knew Dolloff’s name, and (b) Dolloff’s arrest record was publicly available through the Denver County Jail’s website.

Meanwhile, hackers combed through Dolloff’s online presence and discovered abundant evidence of his far-left fanaticism, including his participation in the 2011 “Occupy Denver” protests, where he was quoted telling a reporter “corporations have killed America.” Dolloff hates cops.

Question: Is “f**k the police” a sentiment that you would expect to see expressed by someone who aspires to work as a security guard?

It turns out that Matt Dolloff was not licensed as a security guard (licenses are required by law in Denver), nor was he an employee of Pinkerton, which issued a statement saying Dolloff was “a contractor agent from a long standing industry vendor,” whatever that means. A city official made clear it was illegal for Dolloff to be an armed guard:

“If he was operating as a security guard, he was in violation of the law,” department spokesman Eric Escudero told the news station.
“Security guards are prohibited from carrying or using a firearm without getting an armed firearm endorsement for their license.
“All security guards in Denver are required to get a federal background check before they receive their license.”

So who is this “industry vendor” who KUSA-TV used to hire Dolloff?

It doesn’t matter, really, but there is something odd here. Nothing on Dolloff’s online presence suggested he had worked as a security guard. What are the odds that an “industry vendor” would send a cop-hater with no license to work security for a Denver TV station at this rally?

Just a random coincidence, I’m sure.

The victim was 49-year-old Navy veteran Lee Keltner:

Keltner was identified as the victim by family members who revealed the grandfather and military veteran was shot dead in front of his 24-year-old son.
Carol Keltner, who said she is the victim’s mother, wrote in a social media post that her son was ‘murdered’ because he supported the police.
‘My son Lee was at the patriot rally today in Denver,’ Carol wrote in a Facebook group called Northeast Arkansas Tea Party Group. ‘After the rally a person on the BLM and Antifa side went up to him said a few nasty words then shot him in the head.
‘He was murdered because he backed the police. His 24 year old son was with him. I moved to Arkansas because Colorado got too expensive and liberal. The left has gotten out of hand.’ . . .
Keltner’s sister, Suzan Keltner, on Sunday said her nephew has been struggling to cope after witnessing his father’s death.
‘He was my brother, my only sibling,’ Suzan told the New York Post. ‘He also served our country.’
Jay Keltner, who identified himself as one of Lee’s sons, also posted about the tragedy on Facebook, writing: ‘I can’t believe my dad’s gone. This will never be right #RIP.’

We will certainly learn more about what happened in the days and weeks to come. Keltner’s family will be suing KUSA-TV for this.
