Larry’s Law

Posted by George Parry Commentary

Here in Philadelphia, we have a progressive District Attorney whose election was all but guaranteed by campaign funding in excess of $1,000,000 provided by George Soros. Today the Philadelphia Inquirer published my article regarding the D.A.’s poor treatment of crime victims and their families and the need to amend Pennsylvania’s constitution to incorporate Marsy’s Law, which is essentially a bill of rights for those harmed by crime. The article will be featured in the Inky’s Sunday print edition. Soros is now funding a D.A. candidate in the Philadelphia suburbs just as he has helped elect other progressive prosecutors throughout the […]

Tap Dancing Through the Ukrainian Minefield

Posted by George Parry Commentary

My post Tap Dancing Through the Ukrainian Minefield has been retitled and published by my friends at The American Spectator. Since the editors at TAS were able to clean up the piece – including removing the goofy formatting of the astonishing ZeroHedge article – I have substituted the far cleaner TAS article for yesterday’s post. As always, I want to thank the TAS’ editors for their help and consideration. Here’s the article An Impeachment Defense: It Most Justifiably Means Going on Offense | The American Spectator Legats. That’s FBI shorthand for its agents who serve as legal attachés in U.S. embassies […]

A Public Defender With Power

Posted by George Parry Commentary

As you may know, Larry Krasner is a social justice warrior who was elected Philadelphia District Attorney with a hefty $1,000,000 campaign contribution from George Soros. It has been reported that, in private practice, Krasner sued the Philadelphia Police Department over 75 times for civil rights violations. Krasner’s conduct in office so far seems to substantiate that claim. Regarding his role as Philly’s top prosecutor, Krasner has proudly described himself as “a public defender with power.” In previous posts, I have criticized Krasner’s handling of Mumia Abu-Jamal’s never-ending appeal of his 1982 conviction for the murder of Philadelphia Police Officer […]

The Crash of the Nine-O-Nine

Posted by George Parry Commentary

My parents had a good friend who flew 50 missions as a tail gunner on a B-24 Liberator in World War II. I recall him on occasion discussing with my father, another World War II Air Force veteran, his time in service. Early in the war, his group flew bombing missions out of Libya. As he described it, take-offs in Libya were highly dangerous since the big, lumbering B-24s too often failed to become airborne in the hot, thin desert air. Fully loaded with fuel and bombs, they would crash, explode and burn, instantly killing all on board. Flight operations […]

What Media Alert?

Posted by George Parry Commentary

So much for my 15 minutes of fame. Due to “breaking news”, my appearance on tonight’s edition of The Evening Edit with host Elizabeth MacDonald is being moved to a date to be announced. Ah, well, that’s show business. If the interview is rescheduled, I will let you know.

Media Alert – This Evening on the Fox Business Network

Posted by George Parry Commentary

A better-edited version of yesterday’s post The CrowdStrike Panic was published today by my friends at The American Spectator and linked to on Real Clear Politics. Judging by the amount of reader mail and comment, it seems to have stirred up quite a bit of controversy. A few minutes ago I was asked by a producer for the Fox Business Network to appear on The Evening Edit at 6:00 P.M. with host Elizabeth MacDonald. Of course I accepted the invitation and will be appearing via Skype from KIG’s home office. Hope you can tune in and join in the fun.

The CrowdStrike Panic

Posted by George Parry Commentary

In his telephone conversation with Ukrainian leader Volodmyr Zelensky, President Trump requested Ukraine’s help in getting “to the bottom of” the Russian collusion narrative and the role of CrowdStrike, a private computer security company, in propagating that story. Lost in the volcanic eruption of faux outrage and condemnation aimed at the President by the Democrats and their wholly-owned media subsidiary, this reference to CrowdStrike indicates that the Justice Department’s investigation of the counterintelligence operation against candidate and President-elect Trump may be hot on the trail of exposing what could well be a seminal lie that the Democratic National Committee’s computer […]

Say Hello to “Broad + Liberty”

Posted by George Parry Commentary

Kevin Ferris, my friend and former editor at the Philadelphia Inquirer, and a cadre of other intelligent and energetic people have founded Broad + Liberty, an independent source of news and opinion for Philadelphia and the nation. This is a bold and audacious undertaking intended to offer an alternative to the mind-numbingly monotone political and social commentary purveyed by the legacy media. Here, taken from Broad + Liberty‘s website, are the biographies of this intrepid band: Albert Eisenberg is a rising conservative star in digital media and political communications who has been published in multiple national media outlets, including Real […]

More Adventures in Crass Commercialism

Posted by George Parry Commentary

I want to thank all of you who are using KIG’s Amazon ad portal to do your Amazon.com shopping. The sales commissions (a/k/a kickbacks) from Amazon’s Affiliate Program help defray the cost of maintaining this blog. Now, to sweeten the pot, KIG is entering into an experimental relationship pursuant to which it will feature advertising provided by Google. According to Google, once I install its software in KIG’s HTML code, Google will place “appropriate” ads of its choosing on KIG’s site. The ads’ content and placement will be determined by Google. Zombielike, KIG will be along for the ride. Once […]

The Deacons for Defense and Justice

Posted by George Parry Commentary

On a hot and humid July 1964 night in Jonesboro, Louisiana, there occurred a series of unheralded but nevertheless pivotal events in the parallel histories of the civil rights movement and the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. These events unfolded during the Freedom Summer conducted by the Congress of Racial Equality which had come to Louisiana and Mississippi to register black voters and to integrate the public schools. Since CORE’s arrival, racial tensions and the threat of violence had been high. In the preceding month, CORE volunteers Michael Schwerner, Andrew Goodman and James Chaney had gone missing and foul […]

Flynn Graymails the Government

Posted by George Parry Commentary

Not too long ago, I was privileged to represent a former big city police officer who had been charged with raping two young women of questionable virtue. He had met one of them through an online site where, among other things, prostitutes advertised their services. That purported victim had introduced him to her friend who became the second complainant. It was no secret – and the prosecution was well aware – that the two young women were hookers. Nevertheless, despite the fact that my client had retired after being grievously wounded in the line of duty, he was arrested in […]

Pope Bezos the First

Posted by George Parry Commentary

Last June Knowledge is Good published a post titled “Graduation Day at the Army War College and KIG Goes for the Gold”. In that piece, I plugged two books written by a young Air Force officer who I was privileged to meet at the graduation. The piece contained a link to Amazon.com and urged readers to buy the books through this blog site so that Knowledge is Good would receive a sales commission (i.e., a kickback) from Amazon. Then I forgot all about it. A few days ago, Amazon deposited $25.70 in my bank account. Like the little kid in […]

A Return to the Capitol Hill Club

Posted by George Parry Commentary

Last Thursday I attended another meeting of the Saturday Evening Club (which by tradition never meets on a Saturday), a dinner hosted by The American Spectator at the Capitol Hill Club in Washington, D.C.. Back in July, I attended a previous such dinner at which the guest of honor was President Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner. This time, the guest of honor was Attorney General Bill Barr. Attendance was limited to 30 media, political, and business big wigs. How or why I came to be included in this group remains a complete mystery, but I wasn’t about to turn down an invitation to […]

Comey Tickles the Wire

Posted by George Parry Commentary

“Tickling the wire.” That’s the slang expression used by law enforcement personnel to describe the process of trying to breathe life into a moribund or unproductive wiretap. When the subjects of such surveillance fail to discuss their criminal activities over the monitored telephones or at the bugged premises, surreptitious steps can be taken to induce them to do so. For example, in the case of a federal wiretap on a drug dealer’s telephone, if few incriminating communications have been intercepted, the local police can be enlisted to conduct an apparently unrelated car stop, interrogation and search of the subject. This […]

The Epstein Autopsy

Posted by George Parry Commentary

Citing anonymous law enforcement sources, the New York Post and TMZ.COM are reporting that convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein was found hanging in his Manhattan jail cell with a bedsheet wrapped around his neck and secured to the top of a bunk bed. According to the Post, Epstein, “who was 6 feet tall, apparently killed himself by kneeling toward the floor and strangling himself with the makeshift noose.” TMZ.COM reports being told that “the bed sheets were tied to the top of a bunk bed and Epstein either hurled himself off the top bunk or had his feet to the ground and […]
