Larry Krasner's Office Keeps Freeing Murderers, No Matter the Cost

https://hotair.com/john-s-2/2026/08/31/larry-krasners-office-keeps-freeing-murderers-no-matter-the-cost-n3818546

Just shy of four years ago I wrote about a case in which DA Larry Krasner's office had freed a convicted murderer and then the same man, Jahmir Harris, became a suspect in another, very similar murder. The judge had agreed to vacate the previous conviction in 2021, but still had some criticism for Krasner's Conviction Integrity Unit.
...
I looked up the outcome of this case and Jahmir Harris was in fact arrested and charged with the Sept. 2022 murder of Charles Gossett but so far it seems that case hasn't been prosecuted.

In any case, this isn't the only time Krasner's office has gotten in trouble for trying to free a convicted murderer. Last year a supervisor in Krasner's office was disbarred for lying to the court over another case.
...
Just two months ago another member of Krasner's team had her license to practice law suspended for lying to a judge about the same case.
...
Specifically, the murderer in this case killed a couple then turned off the heat in their house and left their 7-month-old daughter to die. The baby survived and when Krasner's office sought to overturn the death penalty, his lawyers informed the judge that the victim's family approved of the effort. In fact they had never contacted the surviving daughter, Lisa Hart-Newman, at all. That's the kind of lawyers Krasner hires: ideologues with no shame. The judge ordered Krasner to write an apology letter to the surviving daughter.
...
And all of that brings us to last week where Krasner's team was in court again trying to help free yet another convicted murderer. But thanks to his office's previous missteps the court was full of attorneys including three from his own office who argued the case was being mishandled.
...
But the biggest revelation during last Thursday's hearing was testimony from Ernst, one of the three lawyers still working for Krasner, that he had threatened to fire anyone who told the judge about problems with the case.

Whether gross incompetence or planned sabotage, your choice. Given how long these antics have been going on without correction, I think it's sabotage. But either way, residents of Philadelphia are "enjoying" the fruit of their stupid voting choices.

Cry Harder, Lefties! Supreme Court Clears Trump’s Ballroom Project

The National Trust for Historic Preservation spent months trying to stop President Donald Trump from building a ballroom at the White House.

On Monday, the Supreme Court told it to pound sand.

In a 5-4 ruling, the justices cleared the way for above-ground work on the ballroom and East Wing project to resume after litigation had frozen construction in place. This is likely the final word on a legal fight the left stupidly chose to pick and lost.

The majority didn't even need to touch whether Trump has the authority to build his ballroom. It just had to point out that the Trust never had any business suing in the first place.

"Beginning with the merits, the government is likely to prevail in showing that the Trust lacks standing to challenge the East Wing project," the Court wrote. "To secure standing to sue in federal court consistent with Article III of the Constitution, a plaintiff must establish that it has suffered an 'injury in fact' — that is, the 'invasion of a legally protected interest.'"

Presidents from both parties have wanted a White House ballroom for years. State dinners have been hosted in a tent on the South Lawn, forcing foreign dignitaries to trudge outside to portable toilets.

This was never about the ballroom itself; it was about the fact that Trump is finally the one building it, and the left can't stand it.

The Court also made clear that partisan hatred of a project doesn't clear the bar for a federal lawsuit. "This Court has not found standing in circumstances like these before," the justices wrote. "To the contrary, we have repeatedly held that mere offense, disagreement, or distaste does not qualify as a concrete and particularized injury under Article III." The Court added that a plaintiff must show "some concrete and particularized injury 'other than the psychological consequence presumably produced by observation of conduct with which one disagrees.'"

Translation: being offended isn't a legal injury. The Trust didn't like the project, so it sued, and the Supreme Court wasn't having it.

The majority was careful to note that it wasn't ruling on the underlying legality of the project itself. "Today, we do not pass upon the legality of the government's East Wing project," the Court wrote. "We conclude only that, based on the submissions before us, the government is likely to prevail in showing that the Trust lacks Article III standing to challenge the project in federal court and that the remaining stay factors favor relief."

Chief Justice John Roberts joined the Court’s leftists — Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson — in dissenting.

In his dissent, Roberts wrote that the construction was "likely unlawful" and argued the majority was letting it proceed "not because that construction is legal," but because the Trust likely lacks standing to sue. Of course, there’s no reason to justify the claim that the project was unlawful. In fact, presidents have been renovating and expanding the White House for more than a century, and nobody sued over it then. Theodore Roosevelt built the West Wing in 1902. William Howard Taft added the Oval Office in 1909. Franklin D. Roosevelt installed an indoor pool and expanded both wings. Harry Truman gutted and rebuilt the entire interior in 1948. Richard Nixon added the press briefing room and a bowling alley. Barack Obama spent two years and $375 million turning the tennis court into a basketball court, and nobody on the left blinked. And you didn’t see that project get tied up in lawsuits either.

So, guess what, lefties? The ballroom is happening. Get used to it.

CBS News Says Abdul El-Sayed Is the Real Victim of 9/11

We do not despise the media enough. We are a little more than a week away from the 25th anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks, and CBS News decided that Abdul El-Sayed, the Muslim in Michigan running for the Senate, is the real victim of the attacks that killed almost 3,000 innocent Americans.

This really is a take, and more evidence that we do not despise the media enough.

CBS News
@CBSNews
As the nation prepares to mark 25 years since Sept. 11, 2001, Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in Michigan, may be facing the risk of renewed scrutiny and fresh political attack.

El-Sayed is a leader of a new crop of candidates from a wing of his party that opposed American wars and capitalized on anger over anti-Arab sentiment in a state with a robust and active Muslim community. But now he is attempting to adapt — and in some cases delete — past statements that may run afoul of a broad, general election audience.

As El-Sayed heads into the fall general election campaign against Republican Rep. Mike Rogers, El-Sayed, a former public health official, has already been forced to distance himself from the views of Hasan Piker, a popular Twitch streamer who has appeared at El-Sayed's campaign events and who generated controversy for declaring that "America deserved 9/11" before later retracting the remark.

Meanwhile, El-Sayed's past references to the deadly attacks have continued to surface, including two deleted social media posts verified by CBS News that have not been previously reported. In those posts, he calls for the American public to muster the same outrage for the COVID-19 death toll that they displayed after 9/11.

In one, from April 2020, El-Sayed compared the nearly 3,000 Americans killed on Sept. 11 to the mounting COVID-19 death toll and argued for a response commensurate with the nation's post-9/11 mobilization. In another, El-Sayed wrote that because more Americans had died from COVID than in the Sept. 11 attacks, he hoped "that means we'll spend the next ten years fighting a war for public health & against poverty ... like we launched a global #WaronTerror after 9/11. We could save lives rather than take them."

Ah. So a guy who trivialized Islamic terrorist attacks is being made to explain his views. That's not news. That's politics.

Remember, El-Sayed also dismissed the attempted terror attack at a Michigan synagogue as justified outrage. A Hezbollah-linked terrorist drove a car to the synagogue with the express intent of murdering Jewish children in retaliation for Israeli strikes that killed Hezbollah terrorists.

El-Sayed simply said of that attack, "Hurt people hurt people." His campaign is doing damage control over that and hemorrhaging support among Jews and non-insane Democrats.

Democrats hate being held accountable for what they've said in the past.

September 11 was a terrorist attack. Nothing compares to it, just like when the Left tries to compare run-of-the-mill Republicans and Republican policies as the same as Nazis and the Holocaust. The terrorist attacks were carried out by Muslims who hated America, and now Democrats are overrun by socialists and Islamists who hate America.

Pointing that out is not Islamophobia, and El-Sayed is not the victim here.

Greg Gutfeld coined a term over a decade ago to explain this: Islamaphobia-Phobia

Definition: The fear of offending Islam, which is a tool used by an "army of tolerance" to stifle free speech and dodge hard conversations about terrorism and radical ideologies.

We're going to get a shit-ton of lectures next week by the media class on the eve of the 25th anniversary of 9/11, that I promise you.
