Strange Reports Concerning Temple Lutheran — We heard some crazy stories about goings on at Temple Lutheran Church, 501 Brookline Blvd., Havertown, Pa.
Are there really post-midnight, AA meetings followed by parties in the parking lot?
And what’s this about The Savage Sisters using it as some kind of headquarters?
The Sisters wanted to pack 25 recovering addicts — a blatant violation of the municipal code — into 17 Tenby Road just a few months ago.
VP Dumber Than Me — Donald Trump put the below meme on Truth Social and it was copied to X by Libs Of TikTok and many others. It pointedly makes the point.

Legislation Would Gut Kayden’s Law –We posted reports a few hours ago that powerful persons in the legal community were seeking to gut Kayden’s Law which was signed into existence April 15 and took effect Aug. 13.
Kayden’s Law is named for seven-year-old Kayden Mancuso who was murdered by her father in 2018 during a visitation. It mandates courts to consider a parent’s history of violence when deciding custody.
Why would anyone want to have propensity to violence and abuse not be a prime, if not the prime, reason in deciding custody?
Who could even think of this?
A mercenary attorney seeking to maintain an avenue to making a buck? A child abuser?
Certainly no decent person.
Nor, did we think, a legislator concerned about his standing with his constituency.
We were wrong.
House Bill 2018 has been introduced in the Pennsylvania Legislature and it guts Kayden’s Law.
Prime sponsor is Montgomery County Democrat Liz Hanbidge who represents the 61st District.
It passed the House Judiciary Committee, Sept. 25. All Democrats voted for it and all Republicans voted no.
Why don’t these Democrats care about the safety of children? Why don’t they give a law that’s been in effect for only about six weeks a chance to work?
Feel free to try and answer these questions in the comments.
Is Kayden’s Law In Danger? –– Kayden’s Law was signed by Pennsylvania’s governor, April 15, and took effect and mandates courts to consider a parent’s history of violence when deciding custody.
It’s named for seven-year-old Kayden Mancuso who was murdered by her father in 2018 during a visitation.
We find it puzzling that a history of violence had not been a prime consideration in custody matters in Pennsylvania, and that a law was even needed.
Yes, the old law required it to be listed but there was never a requirement to act.
We are hearing that there are attempts to gut Kayden’s Law. Those behind the subversion are reportedly being made by powerful figures in our legal system — notably in Montgomery County.
And this is despite the obvious will of the legislature, not to mention common sense.
