Appeals Court: Trump Administration Can Reinstall Slavery Exhibit Panels at Philadelphia Historic Site

President Donald Trump’s administration is allowed to reinstall updated interpretive panels at a historic site in Philadelphia that have been the subject of criticism, an appeals court ruled on Friday.

Critics have claimed those panels that were at the site of George Washington’s home did not give a full picture of slavery at the time, the Associated Press (AP) reported.

“The new educational panels were designed to replace ones put up in 2010 that told the story of how nine slaves lived in the home along with George and Martha Washington in the 1790s, when Philadelphia was briefly the nation’s capital,” the AP article read.

However, the older panels were removed after Trump signed an executive order regarding federally owned or operated historic sites across the nation.

In his order titled “Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History,” the president highlighted the fact that “Over the past decade, Americans have witnessed a concerted and widespread effort to rewrite our Nation’s history, replacing objective facts with a distorted narrative driven by ideology rather than truth.”

He continued:

This revisionist movement seeks to undermine the remarkable achievements of the United States by casting its founding principles and historical milestones in a negative light. Under this historical revision, our Nation’s unparalleled legacy of advancing liberty, individual rights, and human happiness is reconstructed as inherently racist, sexist, oppressive, or otherwise irredeemably flawed.  Rather than fostering unity and a deeper understanding of our shared past, the widespread effort to rewrite history deepens societal divides and fosters a sense of national shame, disregarding the progress America has made and the ideals that continue to inspire millions around the globe.

The order said officials would take action “as appropriate and consistent with applicable law, to ensure that all public monuments, memorials, statues, markers, or similar properties within the Department of the Interior’s jurisdiction do not contain descriptions, depictions, or other content that inappropriately disparage Americans past or living (including persons living in colonial times), and instead focus on the greatness of the achievements and progress of the American people or, with respect to natural features, the beauty, abundance, and grandeur of the American landscape.”

The National Park Service (NPS) removed the older slavery exhibit panels at the Philadelphia site in January following Trump’s directive, according to Breitbart News.

FBI Investigating Philly Home Packed With Chemicals, Guns, Fake DEA IDs – Career Criminal Arrested After ‘One of the Strangest Setups’ Cops Have Seen

Federal authorities have launched a major investigation into a rowhouse in Philadelphia’s Olney neighborhood after the arrest of 44-year-old Eugene Albert Horsch, a convicted felon found with a fake DEA badge, multiple firearms with obliterated serial numbers, crack cocaine, and a basement that police described as a makeshift laboratory filled with dangerous chemicals.

The case began on June 19, 2026, when a U.S. Park Ranger spotted a black BMW parked near a fire hydrant along the 600 block of Market Street near Independence Mall, according to FOX29.

Extra officers were deployed in the area due to the World Cup match in South Philly.

The ranger approached the vehicle after hearing a disturbance. A woman inside reportedly yelled, “You’re going to hurt me.”

When officers searched Horsch, they found:

  • A switchblade knife in his pocket
  • Fake DEA credentials identifying him as a federal agent
  • Two loaded guns with obliterated serial numbers hidden under the floorboards
  • A glass drug pipe and other paraphernalia
  • Horsch admitted to possessing crack cocaine

The woman with him was carrying identification bearing her photo, but the name of a woman reported missing since 2023.

Philly mayor yells at public, asks ‘how dare’ they question how much she wants to tax

n one of the most out-of-touch examples I’ve seen of Democrats in recent weeks, we’ve now got Philadelphia mayor Cherelle Parker yelling at her constituents over a new tax she wants on each and every ride-sharing journey: if enacted, all Uber and Lyft rides would have an additional dollar tacked on (to support the dying city education system), which in a substantial number of instances, wouldn’t be a miniscule tax. (The average cost of a rideshare in Philadelphia is somewhere between $16 and $24, or 6.25% and 4%, respectively.)

Parker wonders “how dare” the citizens and voters question how much she wants to take out of their pockets for others’ expenses.

Just so we’re all clear, this same woman just marched against “kings” a few weeks back, and even showed up as a featured speaker (via video) for her city’s protest…now imposing unpopular taxes by royal decree.

For context, under Cherelle Parker’s “leadership,” the public school system is facing a $300-million deficit, which according to the superintendent, “is driven by salary increases… rising charter school payments, and higher healthcare costs.” Entry-level teaching positions start around $54,000—in a school district where a whopping 85% of kids don’t test at or above a “proficient” level in their studies, according to the “Nation’s Report Card” data. Ironically, you may remember that Parker is the same woman who in 2025, made headlines when she couldn’t even spell “Eagles,” as in the Philadelphia Eagles. Her city’s own NFL team. A five-letter word. “E-L-G-S-E-S!”

One of Jill Biden’s Secret Service Agents Shot Himself in the Leg at Philadelphia Airport

A Secret Service agent has reportedly shot himself in the leg while escorting former first lady Jill Biden at Philadelphia International Airport on Friday.

A heavy police presence was seen surrounding the American Airlines ticket counter at Terminal C. A black Chevy Suburban was spotted with its trunk and front passenger door open, cordoned off by police tape, while a medical unit was also seen leaving the scene, followed by a Philadelphia police car.

The agent’s condition is currently unclear.

A spokesperson for the Secret Service said, “We are gathering the facts and will have a statement shortly.”

Former First Lady Jill Biden was being escorted through the airport at the time of the incident, while Americans continued to face long security lines after Democrats blocked funding for the Department of Homeland Security for more than 40 days. 

As of Friday morning, the Senate passed a funding bill; however, it did not provide support for immigration agencies, including Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and parts of Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Democrats are hailing the measure as another party victory, framing yet another prolonged shutdown as a successful political maneuver.

ABHORRENT: Terrorist Sympathizers in Philadelphia Celebrate Fallen U.S. Soldiers, Back Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran While Torch­ing American Flags — “For Every U.S. soldier Who Returns Home in a Casket, We Cheer!”

A mob of masked terrorist sympathizers descended on City Hall Wednesday evening for a so-called “Hands Off Iran” rally and proceeded to cheer the deaths of U.S. soldiers, openly praise Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis, and set American flags on fire while waving Palestinian and Iranian flags.

This wasn’t some fringe gathering hidden in the shadows. This was brazen, in-your-face anti-American extremism happening in broad daylight in a major U.S. city.

Video footage captured by independent journalist Frank Scales of Surge Philly shows the crowd erupting in cheers as a speaker in a bright red hoodie said:

“Until we have done everything in our power to bring the United States to its knees, let us not lose sight of the enemy. For every U.S. military base that crumbles, and for every U.S. soldier who returns home in a casket, we cheer!”

The speaker didn’t stop there. He went full-throated in support of America’s deadliest enemies:

“Hamas, Hezbollah, Ansar Allah [the Houthis], and all the resistance forces – we celebrate these popular forces on the ground. They spend every waking moment in direct confrontation with Zionism, and they rely on a strong Iranian state to maintain their fighting capacity. Do you hate America? May a Hamas rocket blow up your family’s home.”

ICE Arrests Illegal Alien Charged With Attempted Murder After His Brother, a Philly Cop, Bailed Him Out

A Philadelphia cop bailed his brother, 27-year-old illegal-alien Jamaican thug Christopher Leon Bailey, out of jail after the brother road-raged and attempted to murder another motorist, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has reported.

Last week, ICE collared Bailey. Before his brother, an immigration judge was involved in keeping Bailey on the streets when he freed him after his arrest in 2023.

Unclear is whether the far-left district attorney in Philadelphia and the city’s sheriff will investigate the matter. Both have said ICE agents will be arrested if they attempt to enforce federal immigration laws in the city and “commit crimes” while doing so.

On January 23, Bailey “was the aggressor in a road rage incident, where he chased down an individual he almost hit with a car in Ridley Township,” about 18 southwest of Philadelphia, ICE reported:

The incident escalated into an armed confrontation where Bailey pulled a knife and attempted to stab the individual. Bailey then got back into his car, chased and ran over the victim, and afterwards, fled the scene.  

Authorities charged the Jamaican goon with myriad crimes. They include aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, recklessly endangering another person, and possessing an instrument of crime. Reviewing video of the assault led to a charge of attempted murder.

ICE arrested Bailey on March 16, which raises the question of why he was back on the street for ICE to arrest. Answer: Because his brother, the cop, bailed him out, ICE reported on X yesterday.

The cop “posted a cash bond Feb. 8, and the suspect was released without notification to ICE,” the agency reported:

[ICE] agents arrested him before he was remanded to the Delaware County Prison — in a sanctuary jurisdiction — March 16 when he appeared in court with his brother, who was in full uniform. Bailey will remain in ICE custody pending removal proceedings until the county issues a judicial writ.

Aside from that twist — a cop’s bailing out his brother after he was charged with attempted murder — Bailey’s story is typical, ICE explained.

“We Will Find You”: Democrat Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner Vows to Hunt Down ICE Agents for Decades Like Nazis Were Hunted

Democrat Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner spoke at an anti-ICE rally at City Hall Tuesday where he vowed to hunt down ICE agents “for decades” the way Nazis were after World War II.

Krasner said that he is teaming up with state prosecutors to deliver “accountability” to ICE agents enforcing the federal government’s immigration laws.

Democrats have been fomenting a domestic insurgency against the federal government since President Trump took office a year ago. The violent nationwide protests against Elon Musk and DOGE in the early months of the Trump administration have morphed into violent protests in Blue state cities against the enforcement of immigration laws egged on by Resistance Democrat governors, mayors and prosecutors.

THIS IS THE LEFT: Unhinged Liberal Pepper-Sprays and Assaults Conservative Journalist in Broad-Daylight Attack on Philadelphia Bus

A deranged liberal activist pepper-sprayed and physically assaulted conservative journalist riding a SEPTA bus in downtown Philadelphia this week.

Independent journalist Frank Scales of SurgePhilly posted a detailed account of the unprovoked assault on X, alleging that the attack began after he was simply looking out the window and minding his business.

In the video, Scales identified the woman as Paulina Reyes, describing her as a “known ANTIFA agitator.” Reyes is a former intern at WHYYNews.

According to the news outlet, they “knew each other while both served in student leadership positions at Community College of Philadelphia, evidenced by photographs and video that show them together.”

Throughout the confrontation, Reyes repeatedly accused Scales of being a fascist and a racist.

When Scales activated his phone to record the confrontation for his own safety, the woman lunged at his device, punched him over the head, and pepper-sprayed him in the face, all inside a moving city bus.

When Scales asked her directly why she believed that he is fascist and racist, the woman responded:

“You talk sht about Islamic people. You talk sht about Black people. You talk sh*t about Mexicans. And you post it on the internet.”

Ian McGinnis, co-founder of Surge Media, was also present and managed to grab the phone back and continue recording as the woman escalated her attack.

US attorney’s office looking into case of Philly woman stabbed 20 times and ruled suicide under then-AG Josh Shapiro: report

The federal government is now taking a fresh look into the 2011 death of Ellen Greenberg, A Philadelphia teacher woman who died after 20 stab wounds. Ten of those wounder were in the back of her neck and base of her head, but her death was ruled suicide.

According to sources that spoke to NBC10, the US Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania is interested in looking at the case. The federal government has requested documents related to her death, and obtained them last month, the outlet reported.

Greenberg, 27 at the time of her death, had 20 stab wounds to her front as well as back. The medical examiner had initially ruled that it was a homicide, but later ruled it a suicide and her death has remained that way on records since. Greenberg’s parents, however, have fought to reopen the case and have argued that she was murdered.

Greenberg was found dead by her fiance Sam Goldberg in the apartment they shared. A 10-inch blade was found sticking out of her chest. Her parents have long accused the local government and justice system of covering up a botched homicide investigation.

Fact-Checking All of the Mysteries Surrounding Donald Trump and Penn

t was, it can be said without fear of exaggeration, a day that will live in infamy. When President Donald Trump emerged from his mysterious one-on-one summit with Russian president Vladimir Putin in Helsinki in July of 2018, the respective visages and body language of the two world leaders could not have been further apart. The Russian president looked smug and sated, like a vampire with a bellyful of peasant blood; Trump looked like a man who’d just received a painful enema. Or, as grizzled, now-banished White House aide-de-camp Steve Bannon describes it in Siege, Michael Wolff’s decadent and depraved follow-up to 2018’s Trumpworld tell-all Fire And Fury, “like a beaten dog.”

Speculation within Trump’s inner circle was that Putin must have something on Trump. The pee tape? Evidence that Don Jr. tried to buy Hillary’s emails? His tax returns? Nah. As Bannon told Wolff, “nobody gives a fuck” about that stuff. But, he wondered, “What if they have his college transcript?”

Ahh, the college transcript. Trump famously graduated from Penn’s Wharton School in 1968 — a fact he reminds audiences of over and over again. (Per Penn’s student newspaper, the Daily Pennsylvanian, he publicly name-dropped Wharton 52 times between June 2015 and January 2018.) But despite all his humblebragging about that Wharton degree, Trump has never allowed his academic performance there to be made public.

“This was a major, major thing with Trump — that people might think he’s stupid,” Michael Wolff told me around the time of Siege’s publication earlier this summer. “The focus of that for Trump is the college transcripts, which are apparently terrible. I’ve spoken to friends of Trump from that time, and this was a guy that was obviously not interested in school and possibly never read a book in his life. For everyone that had known him then and years afterward, the assumption was that he had terrible grades, he was a lackluster student at best.”

In truth, Trump’s Wharton GPA is just one of many mysteries surrounding the 45th president’s relationship with Penn, Philadelphia’s most powerful private institution, which, unwittingly or not, helped unleash Trump on the world. Over the years, there have been rumors about how Trump might have gotten into Penn in the first place, and how much — or how little — he’s donated to the school as an alum. There are tales about Trump’s social life as a Penn undergrad — did he, in fact, have a fling with Candice Bergen? And there are stories — including one particularly juicy one — about the Penn careers of Trump kids Don Jr., Ivanka and Tiffany, all of whom followed in their old man’s red-and-blue footsteps.
