Delco Defam Case Asks Are Public Officials Public Officials

Delco Defam Case Asks Are Public Officials Public Officials — The pre-trial conference for James Savage’s other defamation case was held yesterday morning, Nov. 25, before Delaware County (Pa.) Common Pleas Court Judge John Whelan.

Savage was Delco’s voting machine warehouse supervisor during the 2020 election. His co-plaintiff is Jim Allen who directs the county’s Bureau of Elections.

Representing them is attorney John Rooney, who replaced J. Conor Corcoran.

Being sued are Greg Stenstrom and Leah Hoopes, authors of The Parallel Election; Newsmax, a news network; Margot Cleveland of the Federalist; and former Trump Deputy Press Secretary Hogan Gidley who commented detachedly for three minutes on the matter while representing America First Policy Institute.

Whelan is asked to rule whether the statute of limitations passed due to service of summons not being timely and whether Savage and Allen are public officials.

Public officials have a significantly higher burden to prove defamation. Rooney argued that Allen and Savage were not public officials but private citizens, a claim Whelan treated with obvious skepticism. The defendant attorneys cited numerous instances as to why they were public officials. Ms. Hoopes presented two folders of information as to why they should be considered such and Stenstrom noted that machine warehouse supervisor is one of the few statutory roles cited in the state Election Code.

Whelan also expressed concern as to how the summons for the case was handled.

Stenstrom noted that Savage lost a similar defamation case before Philadelphia Common Pleas Court Judge Michael E. Erdos. February, and that he shouldn’t be allowed a second bite of the apple.

Allen was not a plaintiff in that one.

Corcoran was sanctioned in March for his behavior in the case forcing him off the Delco case.

Erdos specifically accused Corcoran of practicing lawfare, said Stenstrom.

Stenstrom and Ms. Hoopes are representing themselves. They noted they actions by the plaintiffs over the past three years have caused tremendous personal burdens for both.

At issue, are videos taken by a whistleblower that appear to show Allen and Savage breaking election law.

Rooney says the video shown on Newsmax are “doctored” because words have been imposed on it.

Stenstrom says that Rooney has not forensically examined the video. He says it is accurate and that he has submitted it under penalty of perjury to numerous courts and law enforcement agencies including the Pennsylvania Attorney General and Delaware County District Attorney offices.

He has yet to be charged with a crime.

Councilwoman Schaefer Promises Delco Tax Hike

Councilwoman Schaefer Promises Delco Tax Hike — Delaware County (Pa.) Councilwoman Elaine Paul Schaefer  promised her constituents a tax hike, last night, Nov. 20.

“I think my colleagues and our staff . . . recognize there is a budget deficit and we share in that concern and we’ve been working very hard with laser focus on trying to address it and minimizing the amount of tax increase that we will be forced to put in to address it,” she said.

She was addressing a concern expressed by Media GOP Chairman Michael Straw.

Delco has a $54 million budget deficit due to idiocy leading to avoidable lawsuits and starting expensive projects that sound really neat but end up being money-pits whose only use is to create government jobs.

Expect that “minimizing” means really, really big tax hike.

Delco Snafus Don’t Help Election Trust

Delco Snafus Don’t Help Election Trust — Delaware County, Pa., Nov. 5, unfortunately lived up to its reputation of fostering election skepticism. Its 10 live stream cameras at the Wharf counting center were off-line between 6:45 p.m., Nov. 4 and about 9:30 Election Day morning .

We have one report of the failure being due to a fiber optic cable being deliberately cut.

Councilwoman Christine Reuther sneeringly dismissed the lack of cameras at the next night’s County Council meeting saying they weren’t required anyway.

Then 60 Republican poll watchers — and only Republican ones — were not given their certificates until 10:30 a.m., which was three-and-a-half hours after the polls opened.

And we hear of poll pads failing in Ardmore causing unnecessary delays to voters and printers failing in Haverford.

Delaware County is either corrupt or incompetent. Change is needed.

We’d also like to note that the county’s election result website is far slower and user friendly than it has been in the past.

Trump Bus Treks To Broomall

Trump Bus Treks To Broomall — The Trump Bus Tour trekked to Broomall, Pa., today, Nov. 2, namely to Zebby Sulecki, Inc., a highly regarded construction specialist at 1107 Sussex Blvd in the industrial track.

Speakers again included former California lieutenant governor Abel Maldonado; Matt Whitaker, who had been acting attorney general under President Trump; and Kash Patel, a key advisor and confidant of the President.

Joining them were congressmen Byron Donalds of Florida, Ronny Jackson of Texas, who had been Physician to the President for Barack Obama and Donald Trump, and Mark Green of Tennessee.

Also speaking were noted civil rights attorney Leo Terrell, prominent Pennsylvania political leader Jeff Bartos, activist David Bossie, and Hogan Gidley, who served as Trump’s deputy press secretary.

One special guest was economist and Trump advisor Peter Navarro, who was sentenced to a prison stint in March due to a Biden lawfare attack.

Pennsylvania’s 5th District congressional candidate Alfe Goodwin was also on the scene.

One of the speakers, probably Navarro, said that the Philly Shipyard had fewer than 100 workers when Trump became president. Trump, however, made shipyards a priority and the facility has boomed.

A speaker also pointed out that the long lines in early voting are purposeful election interference and recommended that voters take snacks and water with them to the polling places, Tuesday.

Candidates Appeal Judge On Pennsylvania County’s Dubious Mail-ins

Candidates Appeal Judge On Pennsylvania County’s Dubious Mail-ins — An emergency appeal to the Third Circuit has been filed regarding yesterday’s (Oct. 31) denial by Judge Mitchell S. Goldberg of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania to require Delaware County to address claims that mail-in ballots have been given to unqualified electors

This is explicitly prohibited by federal law.

Goldberg ruled that the plaintiffs didn’t have standing despite two of them — Alfeia Goodwin who is running for congress in the 5th District and Kathyrn Buckley who is running for Pennsylvania House in the 168th District — being candidates.

The others — John P. Child, Joy Schwartz, Paul Rumley and Greg Stenstrom — are either authorized representatives of candidates or certified election monitors.

The plaintiffs also note that the judge erred in failing to grant declaratory relief as they are only seeking to clarify the county’s obligation under federal election law and misapplied the “Purcell Principle” which holds that procedural changes too close to an election could confuse voters. The plaintiffs point out that they aren’t seeking procedural changes.

Considering what has been revealed in Lancaster, York and other Pennsylvania counties regarding mail-in ballot abuse and that Delaware County’s prosecutor is a activist partisan, Judge Goldberg’s decision is extraordinarily unwise.

Machine Malfunction Reported At Chester Heights Voting Center

Machine Malfunction Reported At Chester Heights Voting Center — We got a report that police have been called Delaware County’s satellite voter services center in Chester Heights after a printer malfunction caused a delay angering those in the long line.

This service center is probably in the most Republican part of Delco.

Today is the last day for getting a mail-in ballot in Pennsylvania.

Lines, yesterday, were two hours long at the courthouse in Media. One rather ambitious Republican woman managed to get her self arrested, there.

Greg Stenstrom Meets Elon Musk

Greg Stenstrom Meets Elon Musk — Election integrity activist Greg Stenstrom was among those whom Elon Musk discussed matters during Elon’s visit, yesterday, Oct. 17, to Ridley, Pa.

Stenstrom and Leah Hoopes are the co-authors of The Parallel Election which details fraud that occurred in 2020 in Delaware County, Pa.

A defamation lawsuit was filed against them in Philadelphia which was dropped when it dawned on the plaintiff that they were not only not backing down but preparing to use the litigation to get a whole lot of Delco’s power-set under oath who strongly preferred otherwise.

Right, Jack?

Take it as a confession.

Here is Greg’s conversation with Elon via George from X:

Last night, by the way, was the premier of The Big Con which features Greg and Leah and describes vote fraud in Delco.

It is expected to be available at Patriot.Online.

The Delaware County Pa Election Fraud 2020 Documentary is available now on the site and is recommended watching.

Mom Describes Mistreatment In Delco Family Courts

Mom Describes Mistreatment In Delco Family Courts — Delaware County (Pa.) Council, last night, Oct. 16, heard another tale of abuse and injustice concerning its family courts.

Janet Rousse (phonetic) who fled Delco after losing a custody battle says she has not seen her children in a regular way in a year. She couldn’t afford a lawyer, unlike her husband, and represented herself. She asked council to look into ways to make things more fair.

She also said her phone calls have been monitored and that HIPAA violations occurred during her hearing.

A generation ago, it was almost a trope the father would lose a custody battle. That seems to have been turned entirely on its head and it is alleged to have been done with planning.

Regardless, a parent should never lose regular access to a child unless violence is a concern.

In other matters, Linda Emery (phonetic) of Media praised Council for the 3rd Street Bridge project but asked it to address concerns about runoff into Broomall’s Lake.

Olivia Thorne, a past president of the League of Women Voters thanked Council for its satellite voting centers.

Scott Thomas of Marple praised the County’s poll worker training system and lead the room in a Hail Mary in honor of Rosary Month.

At the meeting’s start, Council Chairwoman Monica Taylor noted the crisis being caused by the closure of hospitals in Delco.

DA Says Taxpayers Saving Money On Prison Despite 24% Budget Hike

DA Says Taxpayers Saving Money On Prison Despite 24% Budget Hike — Delaware County (Pa) District Attorney, last night, Oct. 16, boasted to County Council that George W. Hill Prison has a third of the inmates as it did before the Dems took over Delco’s government.

He said this is saving taxpayers money.

What are you smoking, Jack?

It can’t be legal.

The prison’s budget this year is $56 million which is $13 million more than in 2019.

How is that saving the taxpayers, Jack?

Kimberly Brown of Colwyn, a case worker at the facility, again took issue during public comments with how the jail was being run.

She said a misleading report is being spread regarding a report of a fire at Hill. She said an inmate pulled a fire alarm causing an incident. Ms. Brown said the staffing shortage is severe and there has been no fire drill since Laura Williams took over as warden on Jan. 31, 2022.

Ms. Brown said employees are quitting.

So Jack, with 66 percent fewer prisoners and a smaller staff why are the taxpayers paying 24 percent more for the facility, and how exactly do you think they are saving money?

Ms. Brown, frighteningly, said she has been under investigation since May by authorities at Hill for speaking out at council.

She’s not the only one saying she’s getting repercussions for daring to expose problems. See Sharon Devaney’s comments in this story and see what Janet Rousse (phonetic) says in the next one.
