The city’s violent crime rate is higher than the national average and other similarly sized metropolitan areas. Also alarming is Philadelphia’s drug overdose rate. The number of drug overdose deaths in the city increased by 50% from 2013 to 2015, with more than twice as many deaths from drug overdoses as deaths from homicides in 2015. A big part of Philadelphia’s problems stem from the crime rate and drug abuse in Kensi... read more

The Fall Of The WealthyBig family-owned businesses can get pretty swampy. The battle at Rogers Communications is a case in point. Howard Greene writes: Every family is a delicate ecosystem. But a family-controlled business can be akin to a one-party state. This has been playing out in full view on the nasty channel between members of the Rogers family over control of the company built by the late Ted Rogers. Bad blood in the family can eventually lead to the demise of the business. That's what happened at Seagrams: At Seagram, the disintegration was borne of Sam Bronfman’s iron grip on the company, and... read more

"Do You Wish To Know?""Then you will see the rise of the men of the double standard - the men who live by force, yet count on those who live by trade to create the value of their looted money - the men who are the hitchhikers of virtue. In a moral society, these are the criminals, and the statutes are written to protect you against them. But when a society establishes criminals-by-right and looters-by-law- men who use force to seize the wealth of disarmed victims- then money becomes its creators' avenger. Such looters believe it safe to rob defenseless men, once they've passed a law to disarm them. But t... read more

Far from it. *Here's What You Need to Remember:* The U.S. Navy, it seems, is optimized for the blue-water conflagration that’s least likely to occur. Question marks surround who would prevail in the scenarios that are most menacing and most likely to occur.

Biden and Democrats drove up gas prices to force people on 'green' energyBreitbart: The White House on Friday said that rising gas prices proved that the federal government should spend more on green energy. “The rise in gas prices over the long term makes an even stronger case for doubling down our investment and our focus on clean energy options,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki said during the daily briefing. Psaki acknowledged that the White House had suspended oil and gas leases on federal lands, but clarified that existing leases were still able to produce. She blamed market fluctuations driven by OPEC for rising gas prices and repeated ... read more

Dr Spin is reporting that "In February, U.S. Border Patrol Agent Seth Justesen swore an affidavit describing Mohammed as a high-ranking member of the Brothers Keepers gang in Surrey, British Columbia.

The Danchenko misdirection in Russia scamPaul Sperry, via Sharyl Attkisson: In January 2017, Igor Danchenko, a primary source for the Steele dossier, told FBI officials in a debriefing that one of his sources for derogatory information about Donald Trump’s alleged ties to Russia was merely an anonymous voice on the other end of a phone call that lasted 10-15 minutes. The voice, Danchenko claimed, was someone he assumed to be Sergei Millian, an immigrant from Belarus, president and founder of an organization called the Russian-American Chamber of Commerce. As thin as that sourcing sounds, the truth appears to be worse. A... read more

The promise of socialism and their resistance to US class warfare.* By Ajamu Baraka One of the extreme ironies of the latest attack by the settler-colonial regime of the United States against the national democratic project of Nicaragua is that in Nicaragua, the second poorest nation in the Americas, universal healthcare and education are guaranteed to the population as a human right, while in the U.S. those kinds of basic human rights are distant dreams.

"I believe that communism is another sad, bizarre chapter in human history whose last pages even now are being written." ~ Ronald Reagan This is such a naive statement by Reagan. Communism is not a sad, bizarre chapter of human history, as he asserts—it is a fundamental feature of the Western civilization. He and Margaret Thatcher tried to make the case that communism was a Russian phenomena, and that once the Soviet Union was defeated, communism would vanish. They failed to remind their people that communism was a Western ideology—conceived and propagated between the eighteenth and... read more
