Six teenage girls from a Philadelphia suburb were arrested on Friday for allegedly brutally beating a mentally disabled woman ‘just for fun,’ and then posting a video of the savage attack on Facebook. Four of the suspects, ages 16 and 17, were charged as adults in the attack on the 48-year-old woman, a crime that has shaken the city of Chester just outside Philadelphia. Another teen girl and a 19-year-old woman were also arrested and are expected to face charges shortly. Anye Dennis, 16, Rahmiiyah Henderson, 16, Jamia Davis, 15, and Janyea Bell, 16, were arraigned Friday on aggravated assault,

Even animals are capable of showing remorse, shame and guilt, as anyone who has a dog knows. These creatures are being raised to have no conscience or values, so long as their victims are defenseless and/or not Black. "White girl bleed a lot," indeed.

Yes they are monsters. Yes, they need to be put away for a long, long time. But I am really getting tired of these stories turning into racist rants. Yes, racist. Look at #16 trying to be cute by getting around the bad word filter. Or others using similar methods. I bet I can find a few stories about monsters of other colors and races doing despicable acts too. What about the story in the same paper about the 14 y/o girl who strangled her baby and left it in a pile of clothes? She was white...how about some nasty comments about those crackers, eh?? Of course you won't do that. So, why make this a race issue? The black community has been destroyed by the left and by their own community "leaders" and this is what has come out of it. Their race does not make them more or less able or apt to act a certain way--it is the result of living in certain conditions and being conditioned by those in power. It is generational genocide. Does it excuse behavior? Heck NO! But it is NOT a racial issue any more than the left has made it so.

No one dares look at race with the necessary honesty to truly seek the truth about possible correlation between anti-social behavior and race.

#6 - This African naming thing all got started as a result of the miniseries "Roots" over 30 years ago. I believe Roots was the point at which the blacks, who at that time were doing a pretty good job of getting along with the whites, took a U-turn and started to build an enormous mountain of resentment toward whitey. And now it has festered and grown and been passed down to new generations for three decades. To paraphrase Jesus, God forgive Alex Haley, for he didn't know what he was doing.

#39, There was also a bunch of Blacksploitation movies in that period, that did nothing good for the culture, anymore than Jackass and Jersey Shore did for current culture. Remember the movie ''Superfly'' for example and the other drug and seamier side glorifying junk, emphasizing easy money and being cool. Hollywood has a knack for finding the lowest common denominator of class and character.

Liberals/feminists used to say that the world would be such a better place if women were to rule the world.

Women who urge other females to kill their own babies inculcate brutishness and cruelty.

Women who encourage rutting without restraint or conscience, encourage civilizational decline.

So, these girls are remorseless.

... they (or their ilk) will wind up employed as nurses' aides, "caring" for the elderly and disabled.

And yes, they will abuse those helpless and voiceless folks for whom they are supposed to "care."

It's a nightmare, but it's already happening in nursing homes and institutions across the country; and it's been happening for decades already.

The sequester may have many across the country singing the blues, but for President Obama, it was all about Memphis Soul. Even with the threat of furloughs and government cuts sparked by the sequester, Obama took the time to enjoy a star-studded concert at the White House tonight. The White House celebration of Memphis Soul music in the East Room--which included special guest appearances by Queen Latifah and Justin Timberlake--is likely to rile Obama´s Republican foes. Some conservatives have called on Obama to give up golf, especially since popular public tours of the White House have been canceled because of

The most successful politicians write their own obituaries. I have read a number of Baroness Thatcher´s today and wondered whether the writers would be surprised if they were told she would probably agree with most of what was written, even in the Left-of-centre outlets. This is because successful politicians so dominate the debate on the issues they care about--which were many, in Thatcher´s case--that they determine the course of the argument including the response from opponents. They do this by defining themselves in the public imagination by what they are against rather than what they are for, and leaving only

Republican congressional candidate Mark Sanford slammed the 2009 federal stimulus package that went to Clemson University’s wind turbine effort--where Democrat rival Elizabeth Colbert Busch is employed--as bad public policy and a poor return on the taxpayers’ investments. By Sanford’s math and reading of Obama administration stimulus allocation figures, the Wind Turbine Drivetrain Testing Facility received $43 million and “created or saved” an estimated 134 jobs. When divided, the numbers calculate to more than $320,000 per job, Sanford said. Sanford’s comments came during a visit to a Mount Pleasant branch of Lyerly’s Cleaners, where he carried in a load

North Korea’s young leader Kim Jong-un is waiting for United States President Barack Obama to make a phone call to Pyongyang to discuss easing tensions on the Korean peninsula, according to Russia’s news agency Itar-Tass. The report cited United Kingdom diplomats, saying Pyongyang was demanding the U.S. president personally call Kim Jong-un as one of the conditions to relieve the current conflict at hand. Itar-Tass also quoted the U.K.’s Sky News as saying North Korea currently has eight nuclear warheads.

Beginning a week of high pressure on gun control, the White House on Monday accused some Republican senators of cowardice for planning to filibuster gun legislation without allowing the full Senate to vote on President Obama’s initiatives. “If they oppose this legislation, have the courage to say so on the floor and vote no,” said White House press secretary Jay Carney. “Don’t block it. Don’t hide behind a procedural action to prevent a vote. That’s the wrong thing to do, and that’s how the president clearly feels.”

Chelsea Clinton has raised her profile in the last few days, which sparked the inevitable question about the former first daughter´s future: Will she ever be like Mom and Dad and run for office? Clinton, 33, essentially said "maybe" in an interview that aired Monday on NBC´s Today show. "Right now I´m grateful to live in a city, a state and a country where I strongly support my mayor, my governor, my president and my senators and my representative," said Clinton, whose father, Bill, was president from 1993-2001 and her mother, Hillary

More than 700 Special Operations veterans are urging members of Congress to back a select committee to investigate last year’s Benghazi terrorist attack, according to a letter first obtained by Fox News. The letter from the group, “Special Operations Speaks,” supports the appointment of a special committee tasked with the single mission of investigating the attack that left Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans dead, and shut down the CIA operation in an annex of the Benghazi consulate, in the Sept. 11, 2012 attack. “Congress must show some leadership and provide answers to the public

The White House says Obama is going to argue that lawmakers have an

There was growing buzz over the weekend that a bipartisan agreement on gun control — a deal that would expand background checks — could hit the floor as early as this week. However, any deal could be derailed by the looming threat of a Republican filibuster involving Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. With Cruz standing proudly in the way of any gun legislation, Democrats are trying to make him pay a political price — and even a couple of high-profile Republicans are questioning his tactics.

The case of a same-sex Connecticut couple accused of repeatedly raping and abusing two of their nine adopted boys is headed for trial. Married couple George Harasz and Douglas Wirth of Glastonbury were supposed to be sentenced Friday in Hartford Superior Court under a plea deal, but instead withdrew from their agreement with prosecutors. The men had already pleaded no contest in January to one felony count each of risk of injury to a minor — a reduction from even more serious charges related to sexual assault....

More than six months since Ambassador Christopher Stevens was assassinated by terrorists in Benghazi, the Obama administration is still trying to keep a lid on information about the attack. Congress and the American people need to know what happened the night of Sept. 11, 2012. Who did the killing and what was their motive? Why wasn´t help sent? And why did the administration lie about who was responsible? Members of Congress have asked hundreds of questions at hearings conducted by several investigative committees, but many of the most significant have been left unanswered. Information detailing what happened before, during and
