Delco Continues To Ignore CYS Issues

Delco Continues To Ignore CYS Issues — LaPenta of Upper Chichester returned to Delaware County (Pa) Council last night, Aug. 20, and again told them the system regarding domestic protective services for children and adults is broken.

She noted victims complaints and concerns are often ignored and real squeaky wheels suffer retailiation.

“While you sit in silence the abuse gets worse,” she said. “Victims don’t come forward because they know nothing will happen. Nothing or worse, retaliation. Family court victims, CYS victims, survivors of this misuse of PFAs, we are silenced. Not only by our abusers but by the very institutions meant to protect us.”

She said she was “exhausted” by being told that nothing could be done and that it if was a councilmember’s family member she could guarantee that something would get done.

What say you Christine Reuther?

Never mind, we know what you would say.

It just wouldn’t be truthful.

Ballard Spahr To Be Bond Czar For $115M Delco Float

Ballard Spahr To Be Bond Czar For $115M Delco Float — Delaware County (Pa) Council, last night, Aug. 20, held the first reading of a bond float calling for a “general obligation debt in the maximum aggregate principal amount of $115,000,000.”

They named the Ballard Spahr law firm as general counsel for the issuance.

Ballard Spahr is chaired by Mark S. Stewart.

Who is Mark S. Stewart?

Stewart had been chair of the firm until recently and is now its senior council.

Oh, he’s also the hubby of Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon who represents Delco.

Remember, Democrat voters your party is the party of the little guy.

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

Wish we could tell you what Ballard Spahr’s cut of the bond float is going to end up being. We are confident, though, it could pay a rich man’s county taxes for a decade or two.

By the way, we never heard Council mention a dollar amount in the presentation. Maybe we just missed it. It can be watched here.

The vote will be next month.

Ballard Spahr is a Philly firm, by the way.

Council couldn’t find one from Delco to handle things?

Sorry, silly question.

Delco Human Rights Commission Will Protect Men Using The Ladies Room

Delco Human Rights Commission Will Protect Men Using The Ladies Room — Delaware County (Pa) Council, last night, Aug. 20, heard the first reading of an ordinance for an human relations commission.

This commission will be empowered to levy fines and penalties. This means unnecessary headaches for employers, landlords and whoever else finds himself with a responsibility of providing services or products.

The ordinance creates a myriad of protected classes — including transgender — and these protected people will get to file complaints and grievances.

Say goodbye to private bathrooms, ladies of Delco.

Oh, the law applies to education too. Natural born girls can expect to ride the bench if they even bother trying out for the school team.

Unless, federal law should “Trump” it, as appears likely.

Several spoke in favor of the ordinance. These included two mothers of transgender children, and Rosalind Spigel, a member of the Haverford Township Human Relations Commission.

Paul Rumley of Springfield gave damning reasons as to why the law was bad. The commission is superfluous as the state has one already, he noted, and merely adds another level of bureaucracy to Delco government.

He quoted a column by former Delco Councilman Wally Nunn, pointing out that the protected categories in the county now include race, ethnicity, religion, creed, national origin, sex, pregnancy, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, genetic information, GED over high school diploma, disability, source of income, age, height, weight, veteran status, guide animals, and even domestic or sexual violence victim status.

Rumley further explained that while the commissioners will be unpaid their staff must certainly will be. The burden on county taxpayers will grow ever larger.

Media GOP Chairman Michael Straw also addressed the issue. Straw noted he was openly gay and expressed support for the non-discrimination rules but had serious skepticism regarding the commission due to the cost that will be most certainly associated with it.

Leftist Activist Named Delco Solicitor

Leftist Activist Named Delco Solicitor — A woman with a history of radical leftist activism has been appointed solicitor of Delaware County, Pa.

Lee Awbrey, who had worked in the public defender’s office, will replace Jonathan Lichtenstein.

The vote, last night, Aug. 20, by County Council was unanimous.

Speaking in favor of the appointment was Chris Welch (phonetic) of Havertown who is Delco’s chief public defender and represented a contingent of public defenders office.

Carris Kocher of Concord, however, pointed out that Ms. Awbrey after graduating from Berekley had paid positions with Greenpeace and Bernie Sanders.

Can those who want fair elections expect fairness in dealing with Delco?

That’s a fair question.

Sanctuary Status Explained To Christine Reuther

Sanctuary Status Explained To Christine Reuther — Communications from elected officials to constituents aren’t private. Below is a note from Delaware County Councilwoman Christine Reuther to Tevin Dix of Haverford Township.

It concerns Delco being a sanctuary county.

Ms. Reuther claims “sanctuary county” is a matter of semantics.

“Nothing more than an opinion,” she says.

What pathetic dissembling garbage.

Granted, “sanctuary” can be broadly defined. All definitions, though, mean a state, county, or municipality that refuses to apply laws to those in the United States illegally.

We wrote in 2016 how Delaware County, Pa. was deemed a sanctuary by  Center for Immigration Studies (CIS).

CIS based their ruling on how Delco — then controlled by the GOP — was not complying with ICE detainers for jailed illegal aliens.

That’s a pretty strict definition, and it’s possible that Delco’s lack of cooperation had more to do with logistics and priorities rather than an attempt to undermine federal law.

But then came the accident in Haverford in April 2017 that left Sharon Devaney permanently crippled. The other driver — an illegal from Trinidad — was without a license, insurance, was speeding and tried to flee. Police at the scene were told to let her go. No arrest, no fines and no deportation.

If you did that what would be your fate?

When those already in violation of the law are given further license for things for which a citizen would be prosecuted, even a dim bulb like our council woman might get that seeds of anger are being planted.

And of course, Sharon is not the only story.

Mia Tiernan DeJohn of Springfield told County Council in December how an car driven by an illegal struck her vehicle with the driver escaping charges.

Kathy Buckley of Edgmont told County Council a year ago that State Police was being told to delay responses to burglaries if illegals were suspected.

Ms. Reuther and the rest of Council was shown, July 3, a video of illegals bathing in Darby Creek at Springfield’s Rolling Green Park. This would obviously be a violation of Delco’s health and pollution policies.

What was Christine’s response? She said it was not a county park.

LOL

That Christine, is what a sanctuary county is.

By the way, Springfield banned the bathing and stationed police to enforce it. There was no help from the County.

Homeland Security Cites Delco As Illegals’ Sanctuary

Homeland Security Cites Delco As Illegals’ Sanctuary — The Department of Homeland Security, yesterday, May 29, cited Delaware County, Pa. — along with Philadelphia, Chesco and Montco — as among the 500 sanctuaries for illegals.

We reported on Delco’s sanctuary status back in 2016 when it was controlled by GOP.

Sharon Devaney was telling all who’d listen that Delco was sanctuary after her 2017 car crash caused by an illegal that left her crippled.

Note this illegal had no license or insurance, and was travelling way over the speed limit when she hit Sharon’s car in Haverford Township.

You or I would have gotten serious grief. The driver illegal suffered no legal repercussions.

Again, Delco was controlled by the GOP when this happened.

Sharon — and others — began speaking out publicly about what was going on in Delco in early 2024.

The new Democrat County Council continually denied it was protecting illegals despite many saying otherwise and pointing out that not only where they not being deported but were being escaping prosecution for crimes being committed against residents.

So the question is now why the lies? Why the willful allowance of lawbreaking?

These are questions that must be answered.

Second Attack On Alfe Goodwin

Second Attack On Alfe Goodwin — Alfe Goodwin has posted photos on Facebook concerning the vandalism that was discovered, yesterday, May 26, at the tiny home in Chester that she is renovating for homeless veterans.

Alfe was the GOP’s Pennsylvania 5th District congressional candidate in 2024. She is running for Upper Darby School Board, this year.

Her car was vandalized, May 12, while it was parked outside her home in Drexel Hill.

Both attacks involved smearing paint and breaking windows.

She is seeking help to identify the meanings of the words and symbols smeared in the attack.

Post here or on Facebook if you can help.

Republican female activists and candidates seem to have been specifically targeted for intimidation and harassment including cyber-attacks.

We urge the Delaware County GOP to make a public stand against this.

Alfe, who is a major in the Army Reserves and has served in Iraq, is also having difficulty completing her home for veterans. This is due to behavior by Chester City officials and unnecessary red tape.

Granted, Chester is run by Democrats but outrage loudly expressed by the opposing party can certainly stop petty interference in a good cause.

Dems have always understood this. May the GOP wake up.

Here are the photos with the symbols Alfe is seeking to ID. The first two are from the home in Chester. The bottom one is of her car in Drexel Hill.

Blexit Gets Cheers In Media

Blexit Gets Cheers In Media — Blexit received rousing cheers as it marched down State Street in this year’s Media Memorial Day Parade.

We suspect much of that had to do with Niabi. She is the five-year-old granddaughter of Alfe Goodwin, who is Blexit’s Pennsylvania director. Niabi’s queenly waves and shining smile charmed the crowd as she, garbed in Army wear, was pulled along in her wagon.

Alfe is an Iraq veteran and a chaplain major in the Army Reserves. She is stationed in Fort Buchanan in Puerto Rico.

Joining them were Sharon Devaney, who is Blexit’s Delco director, and a fellow who they convinced to pull Niabi’s wagon.

Blexit was founded by Candance Owens to encourage Blacks to think hard before automatically voting for Democrats. Blacks have voted D for decades at a rate of more than 8 to 1.

Donald Trump has made significant inroads but the Black vote is still overwhelmingly Democrat.

Blexit asks why do Blacks accept living in places with crushing taxes, crap public services, no supermarkets, and run by people who are closely affiliated with those who want to eliminate all with their skin color.

While the parade was wonderful, unfortunate news was learned.

A home for veterans that Alfe is creating in Chester was vandalized during the last few weeks.

She only learned about it today from her contractor.

Windows were broken and black paint was splashed on it.

The damage was strangely similar to what was done to her car in Drexel Hill on May 12.

Republican women in Delco are being targeted. It is time for the party leadership to speak out against this.

Regarding the home for veterans, Alfe says what should be a simple project is being snarled by red tape from the city.

Blexit Gets Cheers In Media
Ready to march in Media are Blexit Delco Director Sharon Devaney; Blexit State Director Alfe Goodwin; and Alfe’s five-year-old granddaughter Niabi.

Upper Darby Sunshine Act Suit Gets Judge

Upper Darby Sunshine Act Suit Gets Judge — The 2023 lawsuit against four Upper Darby Council members for violating the Sunshine Act has finally been assigned to a judge in Delaware County Common Pleas Court.

Hearing it will be George Pagano.

Being sued by township resident John DeMasi are Hafiz Tunis, Michelle Billups, Sheik Siddique and Andrew Hayman. The quartet sought to remove Brian Burke as council president following the fiasco concerning then Mayor Barbara Keffer and former Administrator Vince Rongione.

The vote to remove Burke had not been on the agenda.

Township legal officer Sean Kilkenny advised the board it was acceptable, DeMasi says. A few months earlier Kilkenny advised just the opposite concerning Rongione’s firing.

Kilkenny is also the Montgomery County Sheriff. He holds solicitor posts and or has contracts with numerous Democrat-controlled school boards and municipalities throughout the region.

After Rongione was finally removed, Rongione was appointed as Delaware County Register of Wills to fill the unexpired term of Rachel Ezzell Better, who won a seat as judge on Common Pleas Court.

Kilkenny then gave Rongione a job at his law firm, despite his county job.

Rongione is now seeking a full term. He will be running against Upper Darby Councilwoman Meaghan Wagner, who often butted heads with Kilkenny at Upper Darby Council.

Hayman resigned his seat after moving to Montgomery County. Tunis is not running for re-election.

Crozer Closing Emergency Service Guide

Crozer Closing Emergency Service Guide

By Sharon Devaney

The closing of Crozer-Chester and Taylor hospitals by the Prospect Medical Holdings Corporation is crushing blow to the health security of Delaware County, Pa. and this tragedy can solely be laid at the foot of blind incompetence by the Democrat-controlled county and corrupt cronyism of the globalist-uniparty controlled state.

And the illegal immigration promotion by the Obama and Biden administrations.

Prospect Medical’s CEO Sam Lee took home about $90 million in 2018, let us note. It’s one thing to get rich providing a service. Being rewarded for destroying one, however, is a twisted perversion.
