George Washington, our other greatest president, was 6-2.
In third place i our other greatest president, Donald Trump, who stands 6-3.
The Philadelphia Republican Party, Feb. 13, endorsed North Philadelphia ward leader Daphne Goggins for mayor.
Not that it should matter, but Daphne is a black woman. She would be the first black woman to run for the city’s mayor with a major party endorsement.
Actually, she would be the first black woman endorsed by the city GOP for the office. Actually, she would be the first black endorsed by the city GOP for mayor, at least to our recollection.
Anyway, in a bizarre ham-handed move the Philly Republican boss Michael Meehan summoned ward leaders to reconsider. The vote to reconsider is scheduled for tonight, Feb. 18.
It would be the first time that the party reconsidered an endorsement vote.
The excuse is that Daphne is collecting federal disability payments. Not illegally or unfairly getting the money — there doesn’t seem any debate that she has fibromyalgia — but that she’s getting it.
Slick move Meehan. We think you want to lose. Really.
Why else would you discourage the blacks — many of whom think just like conservative whites — from participation?
It’s exactly like how suburban and rural Republican leaders try to drive out conservatives.
Just sayin’ but the city GOP leaders seem to do pretty good for themselves by finishing second.
Update: Daphne Goggins Keeps Endorsement

Aniakchak Caldera in Alaska is the least visited of all our national monuments. About 100 visit each year.
Hawaii Scandals Go Unreported — A big beautiful wall won’t stop all fentanyl from coming in it seems.
Hey, have you heard about the YUGE scandal occurring in Hawaii?
Of course not. All involved are Democrats. Hawaii is the birthplace of President Obama, after all.
Please no sarcastic comments.
Anyway, a federal grand jury indictment was unsealed Tuesday (Feb. 12) accusing former deputy city prosecutor Katherine Kealoha in Honolulu of distributing oxycodone, fentanyl and Xanaxaling with her brother Dr. Rudolph Puana and unnamed persons.
Mrs. Kealoha is the wife of retired Honolulu police chief Louis Kealoha who is facing numerous charges relating to fraud and obstruction of justice. Yes, his wife is a co-defendant in these matters too.
Meanwhile, there are reports that Honolulu’s top prosecutor, Keith Kaneshiro, is being looked at by the feds.
How much corruption is there out there?

Answer to yesterday’s William Lawrence Sr Cryptowit quote puzzle: The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not to twist them to fit our own image. Otherwise we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them.

Rebecca Warren Readying Petitions? — Happy VALentine’s Day. Rebecca Warren, the popular ex-Montour County D.A., will be circulating petitions to get on the May 21 primary ballot we have been told.
Pennsylvania GOP bosses twisted themselves into pretzels to keep her from snaring the party endorsement, Feb. 2.
Their first choice, ex-state representative Kate Harper from Montco, was crushed in regional straw polls so Megan King, a deputy district attorney from Chester County — the bailiwick of state Party Chairman Val DiGiorgio — was drafted as a last minute replacement.
Ms. King participated in only the final straw poll in which she finished dead last.
The suspicion is that Ms King will take directions from the establishment whereas Ms. Warren would not.
Else why keep try to keep her off the ballot?
Two seats are being contested for 10-year terms on the court which is the intermediate appellate court for most matters in the state.
There is no controversy involving the other candidate, Cumberland County Common Pleas Court Judge Christylee Peck, who finished first in the straw polls.
Our birdie tells us that people from around the state have been contacting Ms. Warren asking her to run.
Our birdie has also told us that DiGirogio has been unsuccessfully trying to set up a meeting with Ms. Warren.
Here’s a thought. Stay out of the race and let her run. May the best gal win.
