Dem Dirty Tricks In Delco Judicial Primary

Dem Dirty Tricks In Delco Judicial Primary
By Craig Williams

As you may know, William “Chip” Mackrides (A-3) and Richard M. Cappelli (A-6) are the endorsed Republican candidates for Judge of the Delaware County Court of Common Pleas. With the Primary election less than a week away, the Democratic candidates for judge have launched a dirty-tricks campaign to deceive Republican primary voters into thinking they are actually the Republican candidates.

Candidates can cross file in judicial races.

· Push buttons A-3 and A-6 to support Mackrides and Cappelli, the ONLY Republican candidates for Court of Common Pleas on the ballot. The other two candidates are longtime registered Democrats.

· Mackrides and Cappelli are the ONLY candidates for Judge voted “Well Qualified” by the Delaware County Bar Association to serve as judge. This is the Bar Association’s highest possible rating. The Democratic candidates were deemed not recommended/no opinion.

· Mackrides and Cappelli are supported by local law enforcement and are the ONLY candidates endorsed by the Delaware County Fraternal Order of Police.

· Mackrides and Cappelli have the support of the men and women of our local trade unions. They are the ONLY candidates endorsed by the Delaware County Council of the Philadelphia Building and Construction Trades, with more than 25,000 members from 14 unions.

Penn Prof Says Murderers Are Born

Penn Prof Says Murderers Are Born — Adrian Raine is a man who fled Britain for the University of Pennsylvania so he could better pursue his theory that murderers are murderers because of their genes. Raine claims to have scanned the brains of killers and have found them to be different those those who haven’t taken a life.

Wonder if it has occurred to him that it is the act of murder that causes the brain to change.

Delaware Loophole End Passed By Pa. House

Delaware Loophole End Passed By Pa. House — The State House passed legislation last week to close the Delaware Loophole and implement comprehensive business tax reforms for Pennsylvania job creators, reports  Rep. Jim Cox (R-129).

House Bill 440 would close the loophole by targeting specific transactions that some businesses use for the sole purpose of avoiding taxation in the Commonwealth.

The bill also includes several additional tax reforms, including reducing the Corporate Net Income (CNI) Tax rate to 6.99 percent and uncapping the Net Operating Loss (NOL) deductions businesses may take. In addition, the bill would support Pennsylvania’s small businesses, encourage new investments in existing businesses and promote the development of new start-up companies.

All of these reforms seek to make Pennsylvania a more competitive and attractive place to do business.

The bill now heads to the Senate for consideration.

Beaver Valley Applications Withdrawn But Return Expected

Beaver Valley Applications Withdrawn But Return Expected
The festival outside the meeting hall.

Beaver Valley Applications Withdrawn But Return Expected — A crowd of a thousand packed into the Garnet Valley Middle School auditorium, May 14, to hear the Concord Supervisors announce that the applications for a zoning change to allow three developers to put a big box store, and various residences on 324 acres belonging to
Woodlawn Trustees has been withdrawn.

It was pointedly noted, though, that new applications are expected.

The meeting scheduled to start at 7 p.m. began five minutes late and was officially closed at 7:15 although Woodlawn Chief Operating Officer Vernon Green gave an off-the-record statement afterwards noting that Woodlawn founder William Bancroft started the trust to provide parkland and inexpensive housing for workers with the expectation that some land would be sold to fund these goals.

Cameras for all the local television stations were present. The
supervisors noted that they had received a petition of 5,500 names
against the development.

Supervisor Dominic J. Cappelli said that it will be at least
60 days before  any new applications would be received and hearings
will be  announced well in advance on the township website.

Cappelli during the hearing noted that Supervisor Chairman Dominic
Pileggi had recused himself from the matter in October due to a conflict
of interest.

A note to Republicans: among those attending were Democrat County Council candidate Bill Clinton and Democrat Register of Wills candidate Frank Daly. Expect a fight this year.

Progressive Nazis At Swarthmore

Progressive Nazis At Swarthmore — Delaware County has got itself in the national spotlight due the actions of progressives who crashed a Swarthmore College’s Board of Managers demanding the college divest from fossil-fuel businesses.

The activists took over the microphone, shouted down those who objected and completely violated the rules of order.

Who needs laws if your cause is just? Or at least if you convince yourself that it is.

Once suspects this crowd could easily rationalize serious violations of the rights of others — siccing the IRS on them if they should object to their policies perhaps or wiretapping their phones– if they should ever obtain the power to do so.

Why “Non-Profits” Are Lies

For those who believe in the inherent goodness of academia and trust the altruism of those who run “non-profits” we are here to bust your bubble and remove the scales from eyes which can be done by simply pointing out that Graham Spanier, the enabler of child abuse who ran Penn State for 16 years, was the highest paid college administrator in the nation when he was forced out in November 2011.

Spanier received $2.9 million in 2011-12, including $1.2 million in severance pay and $1.2 million in deferred compensation.

And how can we seriously call an institution that pays it top dog nearly $3 million a “non-profit”.

People have got to wake up and understand that our institutions are abusing our trust.

Feds Can Pay Obligations Without Raising Debt Ceiling

Feds Can Pay Obligations Without Raising Debt Ceiling — Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.)  is praising the passage of  the Full Faith and Credit Act  by the U.S. House of Representatives last week.

“The legislation will ensure that the U.S. government does not default on its debt by requiring the Treasury to prioritize payments on the debt in case the debt ceiling is not raised,” Toomey said.

Toomey authored the Senate version of the bill to protect Social Security benefits and military pay and to require that our government prioritize all obligations on the debt held by the public in the event that the debt limit is reached.

“For months, some political leaders have argued that failure to raise the debt ceiling would necessarily cause the United States to default on its debt,” Toomey said. “This is not the case. If Congress refuses to raise the debt ceiling, the federal government will have more than enough money to service its debt.”

He noted that that this year, about 6 percent of all projected federal government expenditures will go to pay off the interest on our debt, and tax revenue is projected to cover about 76 percent of all government expenditures.

“We need to end government by crisis,” he said. “We need to take the default scare tactics off the table. As the sequester proved, limiting spending does not cause the sky to fall. The Full Faith and Credit Act will allow Congress and the President to have a frank discussion about putting our nation on a path to balance by taking the specter of default off the table.”
