Kyj’s Bakery at 2702 W. Third St. in Chester is the subject of a well deserved article in The Delaware County Daily Times by Kathleen Carey.
The Ukrainian bakery is 60 years old.
It was founded by Wasyl and Lydia Kyj and is now operated by their daughter Christina Pluta.
It has affiliates at 23 E. Brookhaven Road, Brookhaven which opened in 1973 and atĀ 3372 Chichester Ave. Boothwyn (Upper Chichester), which opened in 1993.
Yes, it really does have the best babka.
When you get a chance, check it out. You won’t regret it.
Sharyl Attkisson, a five-time Emmy Aware winning reporter who served for two decades at CBS before leaving in disgust on March 14, has written a book blowing the lid off the blatant dishonesty that runs rampant at her former employer.
The book is Stonewalled: My Fight for Truth Against the Forces of Obstruction, Intimidation and Harassment in Obama’s Washington.
It describes how conservative analysts must always be labeled conservatives — albeit if their opinion really upsets a supervisor they bet to be labeled “right wing” — while liberals are merely called analysts.
She describes how her reporting on the Sept. 11, 2012 Benghazi attackĀ was pulled off the air starting in October and regulated to the web.
She notes how an exclusive on-camera interviewed with Nakoula Basseley, the YouTube filmmaker initially blamed by Hillary Clinton for the disaster, was squelched.
It should be noted that Ms. Attkisson covered numerous stories critical of the Bush administration and other Republicans which her organization happily ran.
The book is proof positive that the old media who many so long depended upon for their information about world and political matters is inherent untrustworthy.
The Delaware County Republican Party today, Oct. 27, filed complaints with the Delaware County Board of Elections and Delaware County Voter Registration Commission against Democrat Vince Rongione, a candidate for State Representative in the 163rd Legislative District. The complaints ask the agencies to investigate Rongione for violations of Pennsylvaniaās Voter Registration and state election laws.
Under the Pennsylvania Constitution, an individual must be a resident of the district in which they are running for a minimum of one year prior to the election. In October 2013, the last date to file a voter registration prior to the 2013 general election, Rongione filed a change of voter registration with an address of 1251 Wilson Drive, located in Upper Darbyās 3-7 voting district. However, newly obtained witness statements show that the property was for sale, unoccupied, and vacant ā despite Rongioneās assertion that he was residing there according to his voter registration form, county GOP Chairman Andy Reilly said.
The real estate agent who listed the property has provided a statement that he visited the property weekly from July 2013 through January 2014 and that the residence was vacant and unoccupied the entire time, Reilly says. Similar statements from a neighbor of the residence, the new owner of the property (who settled on the house in January 2014) and their real estate agent also confirm that the property was unoccupied and vacant.
āBased on the statements we have obtained, it appears that Vince Rongione lied about residing at this address in order to establish a basis for proof of residency so he could run for the seat,ā said Reilly. āThis appears to be part of an elaborate deception orchestrated by Rongione in an attempt to circumvent the state constitutionās residency requirements. If, for some reason, voters were to elect Rongione in spite of his repeated deceptions throughout the campaign, he could not be seated as a legislator if he fails to meet the residency requirements.ā
Specifically, the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania requires that a State Representative “shall have been citizens and inhabitants of their respective districts one year next before their election.”
On Dec. 7, 2013, Rongione subsequently registered to vote at his newly purchased house on Blanchard Road in Upper Darby. This was more than one month after the Constitutional deadline for establishing his residency.
Rongioneās Republican opponent, Jamie Santora, has been raising questions about Rongioneās residency claims throughout the campaign. However, officials just became aware that the house he used in an attempt to establish residency was for sale and vacant.
āI have asked the voter services agencies to investigate this apparent fraudulent voter registration and unlawful voting that occurred in 2013,ā said Reilly. āThis is a serious matter, no mere campaign rhetoric, and there are serious consequences if prosecutorial agencies confirm the facts we have discovered. Unless he can immediately produce evidence that he actually lived at 1251 Wilson Drive and intended to make this his permanent domicile, Rongione should admit his wrongful actions to the residents of this district, end his campaign, and seek immediate court permission to withdraw as a candidate.ā

Kudos to Fox29 Philadelphia and Sue Serio for this morning’s (Oct. 27) story on Good Day concerning the Delaware County Veterans Memorial on West Chester Pike in Newtown.
Featured were Margaret Lozinak Lawrence of Springfield and Bob Dimond of Media, both Korean War veterans, and Springfield Police Chief Joe Daly, who served as a sergeant in the United States Marine Corps during Vietnam.
Kudos also to Claude deBotton without whose help the Memorial would never have been built.

Noted pollster Frank Luntz has produced a video describing an horrific outbreak of antisemitism on US college campuses. It hasĀ involved physical assaults and at least one hospitalization.
The perps are the usual suspects namely progressives seeking turmoil to give meaning to pathetic lives, and Muslims.
American Jews, please wake up. The people who claim to guided by tolerance are anything but. They are liars. Stop believing them.

The Pennsylvania General Assembly has passed legislation, HB 46, that would remove a major hurdle for potential organ and bone marrow donors, reports State Rep. Jim Cox (R-129), and the bill awaits Gov. Corbett’s signature.
Cox said the bill would reauthorize, and make permanent, a program initiated in 2006 to provide tax credits to employers who offer paid leave to workers who choose to become living donors. The ability to get paid time off work for this procedure could help save lives.
He said tax credits offered under the bill would be equal to the amount paid out in wages while an employee donor undergoes the transplant procedure and recovery – up to five days.
The bill is awaiting the governorās signature.

Pope Francis, Oct. 23, declared corruption to be a greater evil than sin.
Remorse is possible only when one is aware of evil, which is not the case with a corrupt person said the Pope in an address to the International Association of Penal Law.
āIt is hard for the one who has it to realize it; others realize it and have to tell him,ā the Pope said.
Well, ifĀ the Pope wants it, here it goes:
John Kane, you are corrupt.
YouĀ use the automatically,Ā mostly involuntarily, deducted money from the paychecks of the members of Plumberās Local 690 of Philadelphia and Vicinity for a $119,213 salary to co-chair the unionās vacation fund, a jobĀ that you have confessed to the IRS takes but one hour per week.
That is corruption.
And that’s on top of the $156,537 you get as the union’s business manager for which you claim to work 39 hours per week.
That is corruption
And you fathered a child out of wedlock and neglected to support her.
That is corruption.
And you tried to talk her mother into aborting her.
That is corruption.
So Mr. Kane, in the name of Pope Francis, quit your campaign for Pennsylvania state senator in the 26th District as you are obviously not fit to hold office.
And give up your union salary as it is no different than theft.
Raise your family on the $40 per hour you would expect to earn in your trade.
And try to pay back the mother you abandonedĀ some of the $245,000 it cost her and her family to raise your daughter.
Hey, somebody had to say it.
InĀ related matter, Francis said āThe scandalous concentration of global wealth is possible through the connivance of political authorities.ā
Welcome to the Tea Party, Your Holiness.
