Hallelujah, Social Security is going woke. Kilolo Kijakazi, Acting Commissioner of our ever-vigilant Social Security Administration, announced people now have the choice to self-select their sex on their Social Security number (SSN) record. No bureaucratic involvement. “The Social Security Administration’s Equity Action Plan includes a commitment to decrease administrative

If given the opportunity, which I sought but did not receive, I would have asked acting Pennsylvania Secretary of State Leigh M. Chapman just who in the hell does she thinks she is — God? The acting secretary, acting on her own authority, has ordered the state to ignore a U.
Crime
By Patty-Pat Kozlowski I ride around Philadelphia with no car insurance. I have fake registration stickers and the police can’t pull me over for an expired inspection. You can’t pull me over if you smell pot coming from my car. And even if I match a description of
Politics
Starting with the first time I covered the Jan. 6th hearings, I have consistently conceded the purpose of the hearings is to accumulate evidence for the purpose of indicting former President Donald J. Trump. That is not the same as framing the former president. I wouldn’t have anything to

I try to do the right thing, and that gets progressively more difficult in an America that seems genuinely confused about what is “right.” No, not the assertion that men can give birth. That is absurd on its face, not matter how many wokesters believe it. I’m talking about

In war, everyone lies. 500 years before the birth of Christ, military strategist Sun Tzu laid down the pillar principle of deceit in his still-read treatise, “The Art of War.” In addition to tactics such as seize the high ground, retreat when outnumbered, the use of diplomacy and spies, Tzu
Elections
Pardon me while I scratch an itch. With D.A. Larry Krasner under fire from a state committee, I keep reading or hearing he was “overwhelmingly re-elected” last year. I am underwhelmed. Here’s why: Turn ‘em Loose Larry did beat Republican opponent Chuck Peruto by 113,308 to 50,

Open Borders would be suicide for America. It would sink our lifeboat. Just so we are on the same page, Open Borders means people can enter a country and settle there without government restriction. That means as many people who want to come, could. And how many people might that

I know most people who support Sanctuary Cities (or states, or counties) feel virtuous, as if they are helping the downtrodden. They are. They are also helping criminals, defined as someone who is breaking U.S. law. “Oh, but it is a very low-level crime,” the progressives smugly reply. So

Politics
Normally, I give extra points to a political candidate with military service. Pennsylvania Republican governor candidate Doug Mastriano retired from the U.S. Army as a full colonel before turning to politics. High five. I confess I subtract points for advanced degrees. To my sorrow, I have learned the higher

On the one hand, you have David Beckham, once the world’s greatest soccer player, waiting in a 10-hour queue (British for line) to say goodbye to the late Queen Elizabeth II. On this side of the pond, we have former Courier-Post and Daily News writer Chuck Darrow, and former
