Stollsteimer Worked With Tides Foundation — Leah Hoopes has posted on X that a public records request has been approved and revealed 144 email exchanges between Delaware County DA Jack Stollsteimer and the Tides Foundation’s Fair and Just Prosecution.
The organization is largely funded by George Soros.
Leah, along with Greg Stenstrom, are election integrity activists who were slandered by Stollsteimer.
The pair had filed a complaint regarding election law violations from November 2020. Stollsteimer submitted a report to Delaware County Council which it read into the record, May 18, 2022 . Stollsteimer said his office investigated and that the activists based their complaint on three doctored videos downloaded from the internet.
What had been submitted, however, was 37 unchanged videos acquired directly from a whistleblower.
GOP Gets Primary Race For Delco Council — Liz Piazza and Charlie Alexander say they have more than enough signatures to be on the ballot for the May 20 Republican primary election.
They seek the Democrat-held seats on Delaware County, Pa., Council that are being vacated by corporatist Kevin Madden and contested by incumbent Richard Womack.
Liz is endorsed by the Delco GOP.
Charlie, not so much.
Also in the race is Upper Darby Council President Brian Burke, also endorsed by the GOP. We expect the shooting, however, to be almost entirely between Charlie and Liz.
Challenges to Charlie’s petitions are expected. He appears confident, though, that he has the 250 needed to be on the ballot.
We are staying out of it and writing in Sharon Devaney.
The Democrats have endorsed county Controller Joanne Phillips to replace Madden.
We are writing in Sharon. She doesn’t bow before guys at the Home Depot.
DOGE Friday’s Conservative Voice Topic — The Conservative Voice, Friday, will be discussing the economic consequences of D.O.G.E cuts, and America’s transition from government waste, fraud & abuse to private investment.
The Conservative Voice airs noon to 2 p.m. on WWDB 860-AM, and online.
E.J. Antoni, who is a Research Fellow at The Heritage Foundation’s Grover M. Hermann Center for the Federal Budget, will be joining us. President Trump warned us that we will suffer economic turbulence as we go through this transition. E.J. will explain what to expect, and give us insight on how to understand what is happening, and why there is no need to panic.
D.O.G.E has uncovered a lot of nonsensical programs funded by federal dollars. Spending $47 million to “improve learning outcomes in Asia” seems crazy when five Asian countries top the list of best scores in math and science according to a report issued from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. That same report shows the U.S. ranking 34th in math out of 81 countries. Given these statistics, who is it that actually needs help improving learning outcomes?
Sen. Doug Mastriano (R – Franklin/Adams Counties) recently introduced legislation to establish a Pennsylvania D.O.G.E. While the federal D.O.G.E. is a part of the Executive Branch, the PA version would report to the legislature which controls the “purse strings” and budget appropriations for the commonwealth. Funding would be decided upon by a newly created Bi-Partisan Oversight Committee, after reviewing recommendations.
We will also discuss Gov. Shapiro’s new 2025-2026 Budget. Of the $51.47 billion budget, new spending initiatives totaling almost $1.2 billion are not all inclusive. New revenue would mostly come from increased regulation and taxes, plus, over $4 billion in federal grants and subsidies.
