Philadelphia, PA – Philadelphia has achieved the highest murder rate in the country, on a per capita basis, as compared to the 10 largest cities in the United States.
As of Thursday, 314 people had been murdered in the City of Brotherly Love so far this year, KYW reported.
Homicides are up 35 percent from the same time period in 2020. The city has surpassed a number of prior total-year tallies, WPVI reported.
Murders so far in 2021 are higher than the full-year totals of six of the past 12 years.
In June, Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney blamed the city’s murder rate on how easy it was for people to get guns and the fact it had also been a banner year for legal gun sales, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported.
Kenney called on the federal government to solve the problem by enacting stronger gun-safety measures.
But more than one-third of the shootings so far this year have happened in the same five zip codes in North Philadelphia, indicating the homicide rate is more of a local problem, KYW reported.

Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner has repeatedly blamed violence-plagued communities on current policing practices that he claimed caused a “traumatization of neighborhoods” and drove a wedge between law enforcement and the community they serve.
Some critics have pointed to low morale at the Philadelphia Police Department that resulted from the practically overnight changes to department policies in the wake of George Floyd’s death in the custody of the Minneapolis police on May 25, 2020 as one of the factors contributing to the rise in crime.But Philadelphia Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw said that’s not the case and that the police force was doing everything possible to put a stop to the gun violence, WTXF reported. “It’s no secret that we’re experiencing one of the worst periods of violent crime in our city’s history,” Commissioner Outlaw said.She said that the mayor wasn’t wrong in his assertions regarding guns and pointed out that part of the problem was criminals using guns that were not commercially manufactured, WTXF reported.The police commissioner also said that most of the gun arrests made by her […]

Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
