BREAKING: Prominent LGBTQ+ advocate Kendall Stephens arrested in Philly after raping 2 boys under the age of 13 Stephens is a male who now identifies as a woman and has worked together with DA Larry Krasner and others to craft LGBTQ+ policies. The charges against Stephens include rape, obscenity to minors, assault, corruption of minors, unlawful assault to minors, and involuntary deviant sexual intercourse.

Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner blasted Republican legislators during a post-mass shooting press conference Tuesday, insisting that they are “against [voters’] safety.” On Monday night, a gunman opened fire in the Kingsessing section of southwest Philadelphia, killing five people and injuring several more. Multiple children were injured by the gunfire, including a 2-year-old who was shot four times in the legs. The suspected gunman, a 40-year-old man, was reportedly wearing a ballistic vest and had an “AR-type rifle,” along with multiple magazines. He was apprehended by police and faces several counts of murder, aggravated assault and felony weapons charges.

An 18-year-old man was busted Sunday in the fatal shooting of a Temple University cop — as it surfaced the heinous killer tried to rob the tragic officer as he lay dying on the ground, police said. Gunman Miles Pfeffer — who was taken into custody by authorities using the fallen officer’s handcuffs — went on to coolly commit a nearby carjacking in Philadelphia after the shooting, too, authorities said. Pfeffer was arrested after multiple agencies, including federal marshals, converged on his home in Buckingham Township in Bucks County around 7 a.m., the Bucks County District Attorney’s Office said. He...

The Pennsylvania Senate voted 29-19 on Wednesday to call Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner, a Democrat, to Senate chambers for a trial to answer for seven articles of impeachment against him. The articles could result in his removal from office. But the timing of this move is awkward because it was done in a special session on Nov. 30, the last day of the 2021-2022 session. The new session starts at midnight, but no action will be taken because newly elected lawmakers take their oaths of office and are seated in January. “The majority party is attempting to set an...

Faisal Gill has worked for a host of anti-Israel groups ...far-left views on community policing and crime are so extreme that Democratic representative Karen Bass, who is running to be the city’s mayor, withdrew her endorsement. Faisal Gill, a libertarian Republican-turned-progressive Democrat, is running to become L.A.’s city attorney, a powerful post that will give him the ability to decide what types of minor crimes are prosecuted. "The city attorney is not elected to defend the police," Gill states on his campaign website. He also says he wants to end cash bail, support safe injection sites, and reduce criminal prosecutions....

Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner has become a hero on the left for his aggressive attempts to free people who were wrongfully convicted. CBS profiled those efforts back in 2019, about a year and a half after Krasner took office.The former public defender assumed the top prosecutor job in 2018. One of his first missions was to beef up the Conviction Integrity Unit to investigate legitimate claims of wrongful convictions.“There was a culture at various times of win at all cost,” said Krasner. “And if that meant that you were gonna take the document that suggested there was a different suspect,...

A convicted killer is now wanted for another murder after he was freed from prison by Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner’s (D) Conviction Integrity Unit, which has the backing of Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman. In 2021, Krasner’s Conviction Integrity Unit got a judge to throw out the murder conviction against 32-year-old Jahmir Harris who served eight years in prison. Harris was convicted for the 2012 murder of 45-year-old Louis Porter whom he was accused of shooting in the head in front of his 5-year-old son in a Philadelphia parking lot just two days before Christmas. According to prosecutors, Harris...

Here we having Tom Wolf talking about the economy and how things are going currently in Pennsylvania check this out

Pennsylvania Republicans were primarily written off this cycle. I admit I thought we were toast, given that Dr. Mehmet Oz winning the Republican Senate primary exposed the state party's appalling candidate depth. Gubernatorial candidate Doug Mastriano, who I like, was seen as too extreme for Keystone voters, though he was polling within the margin of error with Democrat Josh Shapiro. With summer over, Oz is within striking distance of Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, whose mental health has been called into question due to his recovery from a stroke. Mastriano needs a boost—in fact—the whole statewide slate could use a leg...

Lefty Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner claimed violent crime was worse in “Trump states” — as he denied his soft-on-crime policies were to blame for his city’s soaring crime rate. Krasner’s bold statements came during a fiery interview with Fox29’s “Good Morning Philadelphia” Wednesday, when he was grilled by anchor Mike Jerrick a day after five teens were shot at a high school.

Philly Mayor Says Only Police Should Have Guns This is why many politicians don't like to speak off the cuff because when in doubt about what to say, they tell you the truth. The Philadelphia Mayor, Jim Kenney, just told the truth about how he feels about guns. "I was in Canada two weeks ago and never thought about a gun," he said. "The only people I knew who had guns in Canada were police officers." "That's the way it should be here" He only wants the police to have guns! How is that not about control? For crying out...

Pennsylvania Republican Senate nominee Dr. Mehmet Oz called on Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney to resign Tuesday, after the mayor publicly said he couldn't wait for his term to end, given the recent rash of gun violence. "I'm waiting for something bad to happen all the time," Kenney said during an impromptu press conference Monday night, after two Philadelphia police officers had been shot during a Fourth of July fireworks celebration. "I'll be happy when I'm not mayor, and I can enjoy some stuff." That prompted Oz to say that Kenney should step down immediately. "Mayor Kenney should resign from office,"...

VIDEORarely has anybody every demonstrated such joy as Philadelphia's Mayor James Kenney did when he jubilantly performed his "Sanctuary City" dance in 2018. Well, that over the top joy has now been completely replaced by very sad gloom when Kenney glumly announced with deep sadness that he just wanted to give up being mayor. To get an idea of how happy Kenney was in 2018 that Philly would be a sanctuary city, I actually tried to replicate his "Sanctuary City" dance. However, despite practicing it over and over many, many times I could never quite do it. The missing element...

Standing outside the hospital where the two police officers were treated for gunshot injuries, Kenney told a group of reporters that only police officers should be allowed to own guns... "I’m concerned every single day," the mayor said just after midnight Tuesday morning, alongside Philadelphia Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw. The mayor said he recently visited Canada and remarked that gun violence did not once cross his mind. "I was in Canada two weeks ago and never thought about a gun," he said. "The only people I knew who had guns in Canada were police officers." "That's the way it should...

There are a lot of empty tables inside restaurants in Philly due to the orders of Mayor Jim Kenney, who nevertheless enjoyed indoor dining this weekend in Maryland. The Maryland restaurant is owned by the mayor’s friend; but Pa. chefs fume that the mayor is a job-killing hypocrite. Chefs and restaurant owners in Philadelphia are sizzling hot over a photo showing Mayor Jim Kenney, who banned indoor dining in Philly due to COVID-19, enjoying an indoor restaurant meal in Maryland. 6ABC in Philadelphia reports the mayor’s office confirmed that he went to a friend’s restaurant in Maryland on Sunday. This...

As the nation tires of quarantines, boredom and loneliness, the same politicians who find glee in slapping wrists and dooming small businesses regularly break the rules, in letter and in spirit, when they want to. California Gov. Gavin Newsom, dining maskless and indoors with lobbyists at the tony French Laundry restaurant the same week he warned against Thanksgiving gatherings. Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot, having her hair done and joining in a riotous Joe Biden victory celebration in violation of her own restrictions — then having the gall to call her actions “essential ­activities.” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, unmasked at a...

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney is apologizing after a photo showed him dining indoors at a restaurant in Maryland even as indoor dining in his city remains banned. The COVID-19 pandemic has forced some city businesses to close and others struggling to stay afloat with outdoor dining. The mayor's office confirmed that he went to a friend's restaurant on Sunday. The photo went viral by Sunday night. Kenney issued the apology in pair of tweets posted Monday afternoon. "I felt the risk was low because the county I visited has had fewer than 800 COVID-19 cases, compared to...

Residents of Philadelphia, in case you haven't noticed, your mayor, Jim Kenney, has one set of increasingly onerous rules for law-abiding citizens, especially if they're in South Philadelphia. And Kenney has another set of rules for the so called "peaceful protesters" who are illegally occupying the formerly scenic Benjamin Franklin Parkway. In anticipation of the Eagles' home opener, Killjoy Kenney has announced that the city is banning tailgating parties at and around the Linc. To accomplish that goal, Kenney will close a half-dozen streets around the stadium, where fans are banned from attending the game against the Rams, from 6...
