Lawyer, columnist, Catholic, world traveler, knitter, really bad driver, really bad cook, loving aunt, conservative pundit and “hard core pro life.” Enough?
My freckled, redhead of a dad grew up in poverty and abuse in West Philly. He fought bigotry against his bi-racial sister, stared down the KKK to register black voters, served his country during the Cold War and died of cancer at 43. He never complained. That is a heroic life.

The people he represents generally think like he does. It's not a very hospitable district to people who think unborn babies are human. I plan to go and pray the rosary at that same sight, but I'll make sure to have my hair done in case I get filmed
This dress is from the Alexander McQueen collection, the fashion genius who suffered from depression, and committed suicide. It was inspired by children in therapy. Proceeds from the sale of the dress go to victims of sexual abuse. And yet, they mock her.
@greggutfeld
It will help the wrong people. Democrats hate business owners and producers. Love the noble proletariat. They also love China, hate Trump, and are willing to destroy the economy if it destroys the president. Pretty clear to me. Sad thing is, if they deny business, they kill jobs
@ChrisStigall
My father was neither famous, nor did he have enemies. But when he died, my only concern was that he ascend to heaven surrounded by love and dignity. Meghan McCain’s eulogy weaponized her own love, and trivialized her father. It was an embarrassment.
I’m tired of being told we need to be kind to
@JohnFetterman
No, we don’t. We deserve a man with good health, respect for the law, respect for human life and not hiding behind his wife and the Democrat party. I’m not ashamed to call him out. This is an unqualified candidate.
@mhdksafa
And thank you for confirming my belief that the UN is becoming a safe haven for mediocre millennials. As an asylum attorney, I find them comical. And they did such a great job protecting Rwandans, just one of the UN’s greatest accomplishments.
Was just at Dunkin Donuts. A Black police officer was behind me in line. I paid for his coffee. He smiled, thanked me and said "Not a lot of that going on these days." I knew what he meant. Hated by BLM and woke whites because he's a cop, but a Black man conscious of history
@IlhanMN
She fled nothing. She was a kid. Her family fled, and through the great spirit and heart of the American people, which she continues to trash, she was allowed to become a member of this society. I have represented refugees, whose gratitude to this country is immense. Not her
Sad day. Was let go (I guess "fired") is the word, by

And we need to highlight the horror in Pennsylvania, where the Secretary of Health moved her own mother out of a nursing home under the cover of darkness while mandating that other Pennsylvanian's mothers and fathers were condemned to remain in homes flooded with COVID patients
During the pandemic in PA, with

as Lt. Governor and

as AG-
You couldn’t get cancer surgery but you could get an abortion
You couldn’t go to church but you could get an abortion
You couldn’t go to your job but you could get an abortion
Remember that.
Philadelphia requires masks on trains but then allows it’s passengers to be raped while other passengers look on, and no police intervention until it’s too late. But we’re safe from Covid, and the generational plague of plastic bags. We’re also safe from marauding statues.
I’m in a happy place. A subway filled with patriots, headed down to the Army Navy game. Headed to work, but it’s Heaven to be in the company of young men with cropped hair and uniforms, grizzled veterans with smiles, and people who truly love our country. ❤️🇺🇸(Go Army-or Navy😉)
Just spent close to $100.00 conservative dollars

today. Going to march myself back tomorrow to get a refund. I don't need to support a company that only thinks liberals (including some men who wear eyeshadow) are worthy customers.
No one will believe this. But I actually cried watching
@JohnFetterman
struggle. I didn’t laugh or smirk. I was incredibly devastated at the cruelty of politics and political operatives. We don’t need to elect Oz. But God damn, send John home and replace him. This was inhuman.
You spend 6 years accusing people of fascism. You call women roaches. You impeach a president, twice. You censor them until you can’t, then whine about not being able to do it anymore. You strap their kids into masks. You fire them if they don’t comply. Don’t expect good manners.
@ninaturner
@brad_polumbo
Babe. Don’t try. The ratio is way too powerful. Admit that senior moment. Or just hope that school you attended has since closed
On behalf of Pennsylvania, allow me to apologize to the rest of the country. We allowed our mediocre failures to assault your decency and insult your intelligence. Some of us tried. But the lesser angels prevailed. Forgive us.
42 years ago today, a hero was murdered on this spot. His blood is no longer visible in the cement, but his killer is still alive. My hope is that a painful death awaits him, and then Hell. Say a prayer for Danny Faulkner, now protected for eternity by St. Michael’s sword.
@nypost
I absolutely love the description "aggressively centrist." This is a man who is not only sexy, smart and talented, he is also decent and grounded in common sense.
This is the most wonderful thing I ever posted in my 13 years on social media.
Or in my life.
Time for a moment of kindness. This headstone was designed by a father, to honor his wheelchair-bound son. Finally free.

is annoyed 😉
On the morning of 9/11, President Bush continued reading to the children in the classroom. His act of humility, and stability, was a sign of strength so many ignored or ridiculed. Now, we have men who scream, who deflect, who posture. I wish I’d recognized then that immense grace
@AlanDersh
Thank you professor. The people whining about a “fair trial” act as if the American people are defendants on trial. Your colleague Cippollone made the correct observation: “fairness” and “due process” are owed to the accused, not the House Managers who are the Accusers. Keep on!
So many people have asked me why I’m using whatever small social media clout I have, focusing on stopping
@HelenGymPHL
from becoming mayor. It’s simple. Frank asked me for a favor 😉❤️
I’ve been told my hair is too long. Too many split ends. My bangs are in my eyes. My eyeliner too heavy. Bad teeth. Hoops too big for a serious lawyer. And I’m ok with it. Because I’m 62, and my dad died at 43, my brother at 30. I know who I am. I’m generally healthy. And happy😊
I remember this incident. I remember the store manager. She was a lovely person, and was subject to a slander campaign. This is my neighborhood Starbucks. I’m thrilled that she fought back against the mostly white progressives who tried to destroy her
I wrote a piece about Drag Queen Story hour in my local paper, criticizing men in dresses reading to toddlers. I was called a homophobe etc. by the woke elite of Delco. Well, well, well.
Is it just me, or has

Kills me to say it.
But

was pretty heroic these past ten days. Credit where credit is due.
And to the workers who didn’t sleep…undying respect.
Everyone who voted for

has South Street blood on their hands this morning. That includes you,
@HelenGymAtLarge
, and every Republican who refused to vote because “what difference does it make?” And you, too,
@PhillyInquirer
for your obscene endorsement.
I went to Giant, spent $65.00 and got 6 tomatoes, some lettuce, three carrots, a hunk of cheese, a half gallon of milk, a roast chicken, two loaves of bread,1/2 pound of butter, Liquid Plummer, gum repair toothpaste (shut up) and Eskimo Pies.
Abortion will not be the issue folks.
Hey

Musicians are the true historians, and they capture, with their music, the great tragedy, triumph, beauty and joy of their moments on earth. And through their music, they are eternal. My deepest, deepest sympathies.
It’s been a long day. Close people blocked or unfollowed me because of my defense of Israel, with no hesitation or condition. And I realize I could save myself a lot of grief if I just kept my mouth shut.
And then I remember what happened in 1939.
Silence is a bullet.
Philadelphia is filled with loud, pot smoking, aggressive young people this weekend. Wawas have been closed due to threats of violence.

Anyone who has studied Melania knows that she was deeply devoted to her mother, a woman who helped shield her from the worst excesses of communism as a child. Barron has lost his grandmother, who lived with and helped raise him. All of us who have lost our mothers mourn with her.
@jonathanchait
@GiniaNYT
By that logic, my mayor

has blood on his hands because he urged people to rush to eat in our Chinatown at the beginning of the pandemic. So many bloody hands. Golly, hope we have enough hand sanitizer.
@IlhanMN
Your father might have indeed raised you with dignity and honor. Most American Jews, and we Catholics (those who remember your attacks on the Covington Catholic boys) have realized that you ignored these hypothetical lessons.
Tonight I had the honor of participating in an event with
@VivekGRamaswamy
He speaks honestly and clearly about the problems facing our country. Incredibly impressive millennial. Proof that Republicans have a large tent for people and ideas.
I took two Ubers tonight. Both drivers were young Black men. Both told me to please be careful walking around at night because “people” were out of control. This is not a racial thing. This is about good human beings wanting to live decent lives, make a living, thrive. Period.
Going home on Septa. No other option. 4 shootings, 3 deaths, many injured in the first 4 days of this week. We are under assault.
@PhillyMayor
, this is not Fallujah.

@JohnFetterman
from PA voters is offensive. Stop hiding him
Married to a man who funneled opioids into Kensington and voted to protect his job. Says she cares about workers, can’t remember the name of a worker shot to death campaigning for her. Pro union, but parties at non union venues. Carpetbagger hypocrite
@WilliamEisley
@tedcruz
And abortion is not health care, because a process that, when correctly performed ends up killing one of two parties to it, is not healthy
Imagine being a cop in a city where your Mayor maligns you as racist, your DA works to undermine you, journalists who hate you get column space, criminals are called heros, athletes embrace those who shoot at you. Then imagine leaving the house for the last time.
#ThisisPhilly
A PA State Representative harassing a woman who is praying. This should be of interest to anyone who believes that our government officials have no right to target citizens because of their faith.
Oh lookie!!! They repainted the rainbow at 13th and Locust because while you’re dodging bullets at least you can look down and smile and feel momentarily happy before you plotz. Thank you,
@PhillyMayor
, for having your priorities straight (no pun intended..)
He could have been our Senator. Instead we have a man and his wife who care primarily about themselves and their profiles and hid a set of debilitating conditions from the public. Pretty sure the honorable one is abroad just now.

@DrOz
I have been visiting survivors of the earthquake, like Samir Mohammed Ajjar, who was rescued in the 296th hour after the disaster. He survived beneath the rubble with his wife for almost 13 days before they were rescued—devastatingly, his children did not pull through.
I am disgusted that anyone feels empathy for the vile and soulless creature that murdered 9 year old children. I hope the killer is now being consumed by the flames of Hell.
The Commonwealth Court just gave us a Christmas present. The Columbus statue stays AND must be released from the box.
Take THAT

And God bless George Bocchetto!!!
@AlanDersh
I’be admired you for 36 years, from my first year of law school, Professor. My admiration has increased tenfold in these last years, as I see that your devotion is neither to person, or party. Your polestar is the Law. In these days where some lawyers stumble, you are a tower.
How the hell can we in Philadelphia hold our heads up, with this? Growing up, Kensington was a proud blue collar nabe, like West and South Philly, Port Richmond, Olney, Logan and the NE. Now it’s a stage for the Walking Dead. This is our backyard. Our shame. Our Killing Fields.
The people I met in Kensington, PA, couldn’t care less if you had an R or D next to your name. Fentanyl, Violence and homelessness are the problem. That’s what we show up to fix. America First.

@NBCPhiladelphia
God bless this woman for her courage, speaking truth to power, for pointing out that the people who deserve consideration are not the ones littering the street with needles but the ones who have children they take, by the hand, through those streets with needles, shielding them
SNL just called people who voted for Glenn Youngkin “people who didn’t go to college.” Like my mother.
My grandmother. My grandfather.
Best people I ever met, outside of my father, who worked his way through college at night while sweating through blue collar jobs. F$
@k
you, SNL.
In 1981, my father was dying of cancer. We knew it would be his last Christmas. My mother kept the tree fresh. In January, it was still green. So she put hearts on it in February. Shamrocks in March. Then Easter eggs. He died in May. That tree was still alive. My lights stay on.
Strange, to design your life around hatred for one man. I haven’t met a Trump hater capable of having a discussion where he isn't at fault. Rainy? Trump did it. Failed a test? Trump. Wife left you? Trump (well maybe..😉)I despise Biden but I don’t blame him for my hangnails
A terrible week. Abortion blinded voters, leading them to vote for darkness. They called it freedom. I call it freedom from consequences, virtue and decency. But. We own the future. Roe is dead. There aren’t the votes to codify it. And the lost generations are at peace in heaven
I joined Twitter 4 years ago today. Was fired by
@PhillyInquirer
because of it. Was blocked by many, including Brian Stelter from

. Gained 2000 followers overnight when I was silenced by the newspaper. Have posted selfies and lizard and dog pics. Made friends. ❤️
Don Lemon and Tara Setmayer, intent on monopolizing the right to be “authentically black” have openly come out and trashed Kanye West for being a “House N——h” and made fun of his alleged mental illness. Glad Hershel Walker called them out .

@MeghanMcCain
For how long Meghan? Until Dr. Fauci changes his mind again? Until soccer mommas let their precious babies glimpse sunlight? Until The NY Times stops printing misleading front pages? How much longer? Are you comfortable with not having a day, week, month deadline? I’m not.
I just blocked a man for making fun of John Fetterman as “brain dead.” I’m a human being before a conservative. If you think it’s okay to make gruesome comments about a political enemy, you’re beneath contempt, and my time.
Philly police pull a man off of a Septa bus because he wasn’t wearing a mask. But the police dept won’t arrest people for narcotics offenses, burglary and retail theft. And here we are. Moscow on the Schuylkill.
