Arthur Godfrey was the most popular man in America in the 1950s. You’ve heard of Arthur Godfrey, right, Miranda? Reputedly, he was asked to record a post-nuclear war public service announcement because his voice was so well know and it was thought that hearing it would help instill order.
Gamaliel vs Wikipedia Correction Project — Emmy-award winning journalist Sharyl Attkisson, who had been CBS’ D.C.-based investigative journalist and a substitute anchor for CBS Evening News before falling out of the grace of the network’s leftist overseers because she dared question activities of the Obama Administration, is battling Wikipedia.
Wikipedia, she says, refuses to correct biographical information even when demonstrably shown to be false. She has started the Wikipedia Correction Project (WCP) to fix things.
She says the goal is to make additional information that is censored on Wikipedia available elsewhere
This has angered a Wikipedia editor who who tweets with the Biblical handle Gamaliel, and apparently edits with an agenda.
Fascinating to watch small-time grifters attempt to demonize/monetize @Wikipedia in the same way more successful grifters like Ann Coulter and Sarah Palin have done with the media, Gamaliel tweeted about the proven and trusted Ms. Attkisson.
Fuck off and die, the intellectual, fair and neutral Gamaliel tweeted about Mike Pence’s praise of Martin Luther King Jr.
I think we can safely say that Wikipedia, at least with regard to edits made by Gamaliel, is not a fair and trustworthy source, and that his namesake would not be impressed.
Ms. Attksson now hosts the Sinclair Broadcast Group’s Full Measure with Sharyl Attkisson, which unfortunately cannot be found on air in Philadelphia but which fortunately can be found online.
By the way, another way to have fun with Wikipedia is to sign up for Dissenter and edit Wikipedia articles that way. Granted only other Dissenter users can see the edits but there are more Dissenters every day.

Answer to yesterday’s puzzle: Always conduct with the score in your head, not your head in the score

The banana split was invented in Latrobe Pennsylvania by David Evans Strickler in 1904.
And you probably were giving credit to Fleegle, Bingo, Drooper and Snorky.
Strickler lived until 1971. He might have watched Fleegle et al.
Bernie Sanders Gang Rape Misogyny — Socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders, dictator wannabe and long-time lover of totalitarianism, projected his own vile hate in his response to last night’s (June 18) phenomenal re-election campaign kick-off speech by President Trump.
“We have a president who is a racist, who is a sexist, who is a homophobe, who is a xenophobe and he is a religious bigot,” Sanders said. “His strategy to win reelection is to divide people up.”
Religious bigot, Bernie? Who’s the guy who went after Trump nominee Russell Vought for his religious beliefs? Divide people up? Who’s the guy who supported a woman for president who called half the country “deplorable” and “irredeemable”?
Racist? So Bernie why did you fire Tezlyn Figaro? Why are there more Blacks at Trump rallies than at yours? Seriously, Bernie your rallies are pretty vanilla.
The most glaring example, though, of your twisted projection is your allegation of “sexism”. You are the guy who said that women liked being gang-raped.
Remember what you wrote when you were a young sexually active college student? “A woman enjoys intercourse with her man — as she fantasizes being raped by three men simultaneously.’’ That’s a pretty unambiguous opinion, you must admit.
More damningly, though, is what you said about the male perspective: “A man goes home and masturbates his typical fantasy. A woman on her knees. A woman tied up. A woman abused . . .”
That’s directly from your twisted heart.
Bernie, your net worth is over $2.5 million and you own three homes. When are you going to give two of them away to oppressed minorities and limit yourself to 1,000 square feet in the third with undocumented aliens as guest housemates? Remember don’t vet them for membership in MS13. That would be xenophobic.

We swear we heard President Trump call her Killary Clinton at tonight’s (June 18) fantastic speech in Orlando kicking off his re-election campaign .
Sure sounds like it. Listen yourself. It’s about at the 51:15 mark
Who knows, maybe she will get locked up as she so deeply deserves.
Silent is an anagram for listen. Of course, so is enlist. And tinsel. Guess you can take the search for hidden meanings just so far.
Workable Wealth Tax Can Be Found — Democrat Presidential candidates are pushing a wealth tax which means making the rich pay their fair share . They have a point. We’ve conceived our own wealth tax. It’s just, won’t harm the economy and will make the rich pay their fair share.
Children, socialism is a scam used by lying, greedy sociopaths who say they want to help the poor and fight for justice but in their hearts only want wealth, power and luxury.
Fidel Castro was worth about $900 million when he died. The net worth of Maria Gabriela Chávez, who is the daughter of Hugo Chavez, the late Venezuelan socialist strongman, is $4.2 billion.
And see point 7.
Wolf Condemns Children To Failed Schools
By Leo Knepper
In 2018, over 50,000 students were denied education scholarships through the EITC (Education Improvement Tax Credit) and OSTC (Opportunity Scholarship Tax Credit) due to a lack of funds thanks to statutory limits. There is currently a waiting list of eligible businesses willing to provide $80 million to the programs in exchange for the tax credits offered. Who could possibly think that standing in the way of expanding educational opportunities is a good idea? The answer is, sadly, Governor Tom Wolf.
Almost immediately after passage, Governor Wolf announced his intention to veto HB 800. The legislation would have increased the EITC and OSTC limits by a combined $100 million. The bill would have also expanded scholarship eligibility to include more middle-class families. Despite his lofty rhetoric that a zip code shouldn’t determine the quality of a student’s education, his veto guaranteed that children will be trapped in failing schools. Pennsylvania currently spends more than $16,000 per student, on average, per year. Despite that amount being well over the national average, too many schools fail to provide the education that students deserve.
The EITC and OSTC provide assistance to families who live in school districts that underperform and allow students an opportunity to reach their full potential. Our friends at the Commonwealth Foundation estimated that the increased tax credits and eligibility requirements in HB 800 would have benefited 90,000 students over the next five years.
Expanding educational opportunities and empowering parents should be a bipartisan issue, but it isn’t. Thanks to the opposition from teachers’ unions and their allies in the Governor’s Mansion and General Assembly, Pennsylvania’s students pay the price.
