Philadelphia is one of the least safe big cities in the US. How did it get that way?

Social Justice Warriors

Thanks to George Soros, Larry Krasner was elected District Attorney in Philadelphia.

Krasner is Self-Proclaimed Social Justice Warrior. Consider the case of Michael White, a 22-year-old black college student who admitted killing Sean Schellenger, white. Numerous witnesses and a cellphone video confirmed what happened.

Krasner initially charged White with first-degree murder and denied his request for bail. But under pressure from leaders in Philadelphia�s African-American community, Mr. Krasner downgraded the charge to third-degree murder. Then, days before the trial, Mr. Krasner dropped the murder charge entirely.

White was then acquitted. How’s that for justice?

An email proves disgraced ex-FBI Director James Comey personally approved an FBI effort to have the wild and unsubstantiated �golden showers� claim about President Trump included in material to be considered for publication in the U.S. Intelligence Community�s official report on alleged Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.

The Comey email, which has not received media attention until now, was revealed inside the Justice Department�s recently released 476-page Inspector General report on the FBI�s Russia collusion investigation.

The IG report further discloses a separate email in which Andrew McCabe, who served under Comey as the FBI�s deputy director, specifically wanted dossier author Christopher Steele�s unverified �pee� charges against Trump to be included in the body of the January 6, 2017 U.S. Intelligence Community report, known as the ICA, assessing alleged Russian interference efforts.

The IG report relates that the CIA did not want Steele�s claims to be included at all, downgrading Steele�s charges to �internet rumor.� Still, Comey and McCabe pushed for the wild anti-Trump claims to be part of the ICA assessment, which was ultimately made public.

This interview with the Iranian Foreign Minister again showed how stupid they are with regards to the world’s Number One Terrorist State, the USA. In the interview the Iranian FM could say that Trump was fed the wrong information, ie, Trump was as innocent as an angel and as naive as a kindergarten child. Trump did not know what he was told, he did not know that the information was false, he

Less than an hour north of Louisville and a stone�s throw from the Ohio River sprawls the skeleton of a $2.8 billion nuclear dream.

Before continuing, please picture $2.8 billion. That�s 50,000 fully-loaded Cadillacs. Or seven million iPads. Or roughly 10% of Indiana�s entire yearly budget for 2018. $2.8 billion would pay the average electric and natural gas bill for one million Hoosiers�for an entire year.

Coupled with that startling statistic is the original purpose of the decayed structure in Jefferson County: it was supposed to be Indiana�s first nuclear power plant, the Marble Hill Nuclear Power Plant (blandly named after a nearby hill from which miners once gathered marble).

In 1973, engineers and architects worked with Indiana power concerns and earmarked a thousand acres along the Ohio River for a $700 million investment: two pressurized water reactors that would produce 2,360 megawatts of power for Indiana and Kentucky. In 1973, the public still considered nuclear power a relatively safe alternative to fossil fuels.

At that point in US history, the few nuclear accidents in the United States had been relatively small (the Sodium Reactor Experiment meltdown in 1959, the SL-1 reactor explosion in 1961 and 1966�s breeder reactor meltdown in Michigan). Fatalities had been minimal and the cost, marginal.

They are a common and quick place to shop, but some cities are concerned about dollar stores contributing to residents’ poor diets.

“The idea that most of these areas lack shopping opportunities for fresh food is actually no longer true,” says Steven Malanga, senior editor of City Journal, a quarterly magazine of urban affairs published by the Manhattan Institute.

“There actually have been hundreds of supermarkets around America that have been opened in poor areas as part of a program to expand health choices over the years,” he continues. “[Economists say] it hasn’t really made a big difference in the health outcomes because essentially people buy the food that they want to eat � not the food that the government is telling them they have to eat.”

Still, cities such as Oklahoma City, Fort Worth, and Birmingham have passed restrictions on dollar stores. AL.com reports Birmingham even changed its zoning to increase access to fresh food.

The death sentence of former Pakistani military ruler Pervez Musharraf has been annulled.

A Pakistan court ruled today that the special court which had found him guilty of treason last year was unconstitutional.

Musharraf was sentenced to death in absentia by a special court in December last year on treason charges stemming from his imposition of a state of emergency in 2007.

In the last two years, 7,500 men – at a minimum – were victims of sexual assault, a number 38% higher than just two years ago.

Homosexuals have been allowed to serve openly in the U.S. military since the disastrously misguided repeal of Don�t Ask, Don�t Tell in late 2010. President Obama was able to ram the repeal through just under the wire because the Democrats temporarily held both houses of Congress, a situation that would change with the election in the fall of 2010. Elections have consequences, and open homosexuality in the military was one of the unfortunate consequences of na�ve voters placing regressives in office.

One of the complaints many of us had at the time, and one of our reasons for opposing open homosexual service, had to do with the numerous pathologies associated with homosexuality. One of them is rampant promiscuity. Psychology Today (note: not a part of the vast right-wing conspiracy) said in 2010 that one of the features of homosexuality is �the quantity of homosexual men�s preferences, as compared to those of homosexual women. Homosexual men are famously promiscuous, a fact that became well-known with the onset of AIDs, when studies of gay men who were HIV positive revealed average numbers of partners in the hundreds.�

BALTIMORE �The Elijah Cummings Healing City Act is one step closer to becoming a law as the Baltimore City Council voted unanimously for the bill, on second reader.

According to Baltimore Councilman Zeke Cohen, who is the bill’s sponsor, if trauma goes unaddressed the likelihood that a young person will become a perpetrator or victim of violence increases.

That’s why he said this legislation is so important.

“Trauma is not something to be ashamed of,” Frederick Douglass High School senior Damani Thomas said.
