Ever hear of Whitechapel Bell Foundry? It was a business in London which closed on June 12, 2017 after 450 years. It was where the Liberty Bell was made.
The foundry has been sold to the American firm Raycliff Capital who are trying to turn it into a boutique hotel.

Curt Weldon Hearts Billie — Joe Billie, who is seeking the Republican nomination for Pennsylvania’s 5th District congressional seat now held by Democrat extremist Mary Gay Scanlon, says he is getting support from former Congressman Curt Weldon.
Good for Joe, who is a Navy veteran, fireman and all-around good guy.
Weldon knows first-hand what happens when you cross the corrupt Deep State so his support means you are on the right side.
Joe, an Aston resident, officially kicks off his bid 7 p.m., Oct. 18 at the Folcroft Fire House, 1647 Delmar Drive, Folcroft, Pa.
Wolf Labor Contracts Cost Taxpayers Over $1 Billion
By Leo Knepper
Governor Tom Wolf negotiated a sweetheart deal with the four largest state labor unions. That is to say, it is good for them but expensive for taxpayers.
Over the next four years, taxpayers will be shelling out an additional $1.1 billion to some of the largest donors to Governor Wolf’s re-election campaign. These same unions donated millions to get Wolf re-elected, and that raises the question: Who was looking out for taxpayers at the negotiating table?
The answer is clearly no one, and that is one of the reasons that historical figures like Franklin D. Roosevelt opposed government unions. FDR stated, “The process of collective bargaining, as usually understood, cannot be transplanted into the public service.” Keeping in mind that the government unions negotiating for more tax dollars are also some of the largest spenders on political campaigns, it is no wonder why government at every level is in financial shambles.
The new contracts are the most recent example of a broken system, and it is something that goes beyond any one governor or even any one political party. Pennsylvania’s financial mismanagement is bipartisan:
Governor Ridge gave government employees a 25 percent increase to their pensions, and members of the legislature, at the time, received a 50 percent bump.
Governor Rendell sold the public on a transportation plan that is bankrupting the Turnpike.
And, Governor Corbett gave Pennsylvania the highest gas taxes in the county.
Pennsylvania doesn’t have a Republican or Democrat problem. Politicians from both parties have been driving the Commonwealth toward a cliff. One party’s policies will just get us there faster.
