04/15/2026. This morning, NBC News 10 in Philadelphia reported several incidents in the city where gun fire was exchanged including at a block party in the North Philadelphia section of the city. Anyone that has lived in Philadelphia (like me) and other big cities knows for a fact that when the temperature rises, so does the violence. It will be in the 90's again today and tomorrow. Check the news tomorrow morning and you will see my comment is spot on. One other note. Crime is not down in our cities. Liberal mayors and DAs tell us what we want to hear, and it is all lies.
