FERAL DOGS LOOSE IN PHILLY

This story is so despicable, it’s almost beyond comprehension. When you are 34 years old, driving an 18 year old Corolla, and delivering pizzas for a living, your life isn’t exactly roses and wine. But it can get worse in the killing fields known as West Philly. You can get set up by two feral animals, robbed and then shot in the head. No human beings could do that to another human being. These feral dogs roam the streets of Philly looking for innocent people to attack.

They are dumber than dirt. They’re the bastard spawn of ignorant black people. They never meet the scumbags who fathered them. They go to Philly public schools until they drop out. They are so fucking stupid, they think a pizza delivery guy is going to have more than $60 on them. They have no sense of morality, compassion, or humanity. They are nothing more than rabid wild dogs. They will never become civilized. They need to be put down like the animals they are.

This is Philly. The commie mayor is busy creating Muslim holidays while his streets are filled with these dregs killing, raping, and robbing. And as expected the MSM did not mention the race of the perpetrators. That would be raciss.

Pizza delivery driver robbed, shot in head in Southwest Philly

Police are searching for two men who robbed a pizza delivery driver and shot him in the back of the head Monday night.

Detectives believe the 34-year-old driver was set up by the two robbers, who called in an order for pizza, steaks and soda to be delivered to a house on the 5700 block of Beaumont Avenue in Kingsessing, Lt. John Walker of the Southwest Detective Division said Tuesday.

After the driver arrived on the block and got out of his 1998 gold Toyota Corolla to organize the food and call the person who made the order, two men approached him, police said. One pulled out a gun.

They told the driver to stay quiet, forced him into the front-passenger seat of his car, then drove to a wooded area, possibly near Cobbs Creek Parkway and Warrington Avenue, Walker said.

The robbers then told him to get out of his car and forced him on his knees.

The men searched the deliveryman’s pockets and found $60, but told him that was not enough, Walker said. They threatened to shoot him.

One of the robbers got back in the car, and threatened to run the deliveryman over, Walker said.

After the second robber returned to the car, one of the assailants fired a shot at the victim, hitting him in the back of the head.

PICTURE OF DECLINE

A population of illiterate, non-thinking morons can’t possibly obtain good paying jobs. This country spends $12,000 per public school student per year on education and this is the outcome? The factual data presented below paints a picture of an empire in rapid decline. We are too far gone. No amount of money or presidential election is going to change this course. We chose this path in the 1960s and now we will reap the consequences.

Education

In a study of literacy among 20 ‘high income’ countries; US ranked 12^th

Illiteracy has become such a serious problem in our country that 44 million adults are now unable to read a simple story to their children.

50% of adults cannot read a book written at an eighth grade level

45 million are functionally illiterate and read below a 5th grade level

44% of the American adults do not read a book in a year

6 out of 10 households do not buy a single book in a year

Economy

According to the Pew Research Center, the median income of middle-class households declined by 4 percent from 2000 to 2014.

The Pew Research Center has also found that median wealth for middle-class households dropped by an astounding 28 percent between 2001 and 2013.

There are still 900,000 fewer middle-class jobs in America than there were when the last recession began, but the population has grown significantly larger since that time.

According to the Social Security Administration, 51 percent of all American workers make less than $30,000 a year.

An astounding 48.8 percent of all 25-year-old Americans still live at home with their parents.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 49 percent of all Americans now live in a home that receives money from the government each month, and nearly 47 million Americans are living in poverty right now.

In 2007, about one out of every eight children in America was on food stamps. Today, that number is one out of every five.

The median net worth of families in the United States was $137, 955 in 2007. Today, it is just $82,756.

I followed Peter up a steep trail through rock and brush on the edge of a canyon in the Waterberg mountains of the northern Limpopo. His son, tracker and skinner followed in close quarters behind as we followed a set of bull hartebeest tracks up and up. I reached out in front of me to clear a branch from the trail when I felt a firm hand on my forearm. I looked beside me, the 14 year old pointed at the branch and motioned me to go under. I’d never seen thorns like that before. How did I miss them?

“Are you sure you’re ok with this?” Peter asked for the second time as we crested a small ridge onto a plateau overlooking a large valley and a watering hole.

I was staring at my boots. They were covered in a fine ochre coloured dust the likes of which I’d never seen before. My head was heavy with jet lag and I felt disoriented. Everything seemed upside down and almost surreal. I reached down and ran my index finger over the toe of my boot and examined the dust then shook my head and stood up.

WE WIN FOR THE MOST SIN

I’m so proud. I already live in the state with the highest gasoline taxes in the nation and the highest toll rates in the nation. Now I find out my state of PA collects the most sin taxes in the nation. And my new governor doesn’t think we’re taxed nearly enough. He wants to double my income tax rates. Not to be outdone, the new communist mayor of Philly wants to inflict a sugar tax on the masses which will double the price of every beverage with sugar sold in Philly.

Don’t you love how these left wing politicians roll out gambling and taxes that inordinately hurt the poorest people the most. Poor people are much more likely to gamble, smoke and drink soda than rich people because they are dumb. Then they vote for the very same politicians who are screwing them. So it goes.

In total, states collected more than $32 billion by taxing tobacco-related purchases, alcohol consumption and gambling in 2014.

“As political pressure mounts to keep income and property taxes low, state legislatures have often turned to sin taxes to generate more revenue,” writes HowMuch.net’s Rebecca Lawrence. She said states have raised taxes on tobacco products 111 times between 2000 to 2015.

Wyoming registered the lowest 2014 tax tally at $26 million, with almost all of it from tobacco. As a result, you can barely see it on the map.

When it comes to alcohol, Texas is the only state to generate more than $1 billion in taxes. In fact, that number dwarfs the $452 million reaped by Florida in the second spot.

Can’t Make It In Male Athletics? Identify As A Chick And Dominate Like This Alaskan Teen

A flood of controversy has stirred over in the Alaska high school women’s track and field community over the last week. After smoking girls and leaving her female competition in the dust throughout the season, a male-to-female transgender student received all-state honors. Senior Nattaphon “Ice” Wangyot from Haines High School finished 5th in the 100 meter dash and 3rd in the 200 meter dash during the state championship meet.

From Breitbart:

“I don’t know what’s politically correct to say, but in my opinion your gender is what you’re born with” said Peyton Young, another competitor at the meet, in a comment to Alaska Dispatch News. “It’s the DNA. Genetically a guy has more muscle mass than a girl, and if he’s racing against a girl, he may have an advantage.”

Sounds like someone’s just a little butthurt over losing. Sure, it’s a fact that she may genetically be leaner, more muscular, and prone to be overall faster, but pointing that out makes you an ignorant asshole in society’s eyes. Get with the times. Plus she’s also still got a hangdown in those shorts. Seems like that could be a bit of an aerodynamic disadvantage. I mean, she did lose to six other chicks after all. I can’t stress that enough. She lost. To a half dozen girls. So maybe be a little more tolerant of other people’s life choices and step your game up, Peyton.

In all seriousness, I can’t wait for more people to expose this ridiculous loophole and have no one call them out for it in fear of being called a bigot. Having trouble making the JV basketball squad? Become Juwanna Mann, identify as a broad, and become the leading scorer on women’s varsity.

This is where we’re at, guys. There’s no putting that toothpaste back in the tube..

Ali Is Dead, Fear is Alive & Free Speech Is Being Dealt a Knock-Out Punch

Guest Post by John W. Whitehead

“What are the defenders of free speech to do? The sad fact is that this fundamental freedom is on its heels across America. Politicians of both parties want to use the power of government to silence their foes. Some in the university community seek to drive it from their campuses. And an entire generation of Americans is being taught that free speech should be curtailed as soon as it makes someone else feel uncomfortable. On the current trajectory, our nation’s dynamic marketplace of ideas will soon be replaced by either disengaged intellectual silos or even a stagnant ideological conformity. Few things would be so disastrous for our nation and the well-being of our citizenry.”—William Ruger, “Free Speech Is Central to Our Dignity as Humans“

As a nation, we have a tendency to sentimentalize cultural icons in death in a way that renders them non-threatening, antiseptic and easily digested by a society with an acute intolerance for anything controversial, politically incorrect or marred by imperfection.

This revisionist history—a silent censorship of sorts—has proven to be a far more effective means of neutralizing radicals such as Martin Luther King Jr. than anything the NSA, CIA or FBI could dream up.

In life, King called for Americans to rise up against a government that was not only treating blacks unfairly but was also killing innocent civilians, impoverishing millions, and prioritizing the profits of war over human rights and dignity. This was a man who went to jail over racial segregation laws, encouraged young children to face down police dogs and water hoses, and who urged people to turn their anger loose on the government through civil disobedience. King actually insisted that people have a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws.

In death, however, King has been reduced to a face on a national monument and a national holiday, neither of which even hint at the true nature of the man: fiery, passionate, single-minded in his pursuit of justice, unwilling to remain silent in the face of wrongdoing, and unafraid of offending those who might disagree with him.

A contemporary of King’s, heavy-weight championship boxer Muhammad Ali followed a different path as a social activist and “breaker of boundaries.” Like King, Ali didn’t pull any punches when it came to saying what he believed and acting on it. Yet already, in the wake of Ali’s passing, we’re being treated to a sentimentalized version of the heavy-weight boxer.
