Answer to yesterday’s puzzle: Tolerance implies no lack of commitment to one’s own beliefs. Rather it condemns the oppression or persecution of others.
John F. Kennedy
Who was George E. Akerson? He was the first presidential press secretary. He served from March 4, 1929 to March 16, 1931 under Herbert Hoover.
Delco Refugee Resettlement Endorsed By Council — The new all-Democrat Delaware County Council started its term, Jan. 8, by waving its middle finger at the vast majority of county residents who just want things like safe streets and reasonable taxes.
It voted 5-0 to send a letter to the Department of State, directing them to authorize “refugee resettlement consistent with the authorization provided by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.”
Hey Chester residents, how does this help you?

Answer to yesterday’s puzzle: Small minds are concerned with the extraordinary, great minds with the ordinary.

France’s TGV holds the train speed record hitting 357.2 mph in 2007. Of course, that’s just for conventional trains. A Japanese maglev hit 375 mph on a test track in 2015.
The American record was set on Dec. 20, 1967 when a UAC turbo train hit 170.8 mph on the Penn Central track between Trenton and New Brunswick in New Jersey. It remains the word record for gas turbine-powered rail vehicles.
Stollsteimer Ignores Murder, Victims’ Pain — Democrat Jack Stollsteimer was sworn in as Delaware County District Attorney, Jan. 6.
He bragged in Jan. 8 press release that he is dropping a 27-year-old retail theft case against David Sheppard, a Philadelphia man whose life sentence on an unrelated case was recently commuted by Governor Thomas W. Wolf.
Unrelated Jack? Why not just say what that “unrelated case” was? Sheppard was serving a life sentence for the murder of 64-year-old Thomas Brannan who was killed during the robbery of Love’s Pharmacy in the Overbrook Section of Philadelphia in which Sheppard participated.
The retail theft charge — which stems from a shoplifting at the defunct Jeans West in Springfield — was imposed last year by then D.A. Kat Copeland. It wasn’t about keeping Sheppard in prison but about giving Brannan’s survivors a chance to speak. Wolf refused to do this as the wonderful Dom Giordano pointed out on his show yesterday (Jan. 9).
The most sickening thing about the “social justice” crowd is that they can’t get that mercy and compassion and empathy apply to victims too. Sheppard didn’t pull the trigger and clemency after 25 years is not beyond the pale, but to refuse to give the survivors a chance to look Sheppard in the eye and, more importantly, make him look in their eyes is about as heartless an act law enforcement can do.
Stollsteimer is among the prosecutors elected after receiving support and funding from billionaire one-percenter George Soros, who says “the main obstacle to a stable and just world order is the United States.”

Answer to yesterday’s puzzle: Humility is not thinking less of yourself, it’s thinking of yourself less.
C. S. Lewis
El Dorado is not a where but a who. It’s a shortening of the Spanish phrase El Hombre Dorado which means “The Golden Man” or possibly the phrase El Rey Dorado which means “The Golden King”.
Just something to keep in mind next time you watch that John Wayne movie where James Caan poorly recites the Edgar Allen Poe poem.
Here’s George Alexander doing a better job:
