Answer to yesterday’s William Lawrence Sr Cryptowit quote puzzle: Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.
1 Samuel 16:7
It Is Good For Us To Be Here — Upon Mount Tabor, Jesus revealed to his disciples a heavenly mystery. While living among them he had spoke of the kingdom and of his second coming in glory, but to banish from their hearts any possible doubt concerning the kingdom and to confirm their faith in what lay in the future by its prefiguration in the present, he gave them on Mount Tabor, a wonderful vision of his glory, a foreshadowing of the kingdom of heven.
These are the divine wonders we celebrate today; this is the saving revelation given us upon the mountain; this is the festival of Christ that has drawn us here.
Let us listen, then, to the sacred voice of God so compellingly calling us from high, from the summit of the mountain, so that with the Lord’s chosen disciples we may penetrate the deep meaning of these holy mysteries so far beyond our capacity to express.
Jesus goes before us to show us the way, both up the mountain and into heaven, and — I speak boldly — it is for us now to follow him with all speed, yearning for the heavenly vision that will give us a share in his radiance, renew our spiritual nature and transform us into his own likeness, making us for ever sharers in his Godhead and raising us to height as yet undreamed of.

$778 Million Climate Bill Looming For Delco — Center for Climate Integrity says Delaware County, Pa. municipalities will have to spend $778 million by 2040 to address climate change.
The threat was made at the center’s July 25 virtual press conference and reported in the Aug. 4 The Delaware County Weekly which is the county government’s news letter.
It was attended by Delaware County Council Chairwoman Monica Taylor, Clean Air Council Executive Director Joe Minott, Resilient Analytics Director Paul Chinowsky and Sharpsburg Mayor Brittany Rendo.
Ms. Taylor has completely signed onto the scam.
“The study’s findings on the economic impact of climate change on our communities in Pennsylvania are a wakeup call,” she said. “Climate change will affect all Pennsylvania communities, and some residents more than others. We cannot afford to ignore the consequences of inaction.”
If the climate crisis was real, Barack Obama would not be living in a seaside mansion in Martha’s Vineyard and have other mansions in Washington D.C. and Hawaii. Al Gore, the Clintons and the Kerrys would not have carbon footprints 100 or 200 or 300 times average.
We would not be tolerating the coal-coated skies of China which produces twice the greenhouse gases as the United States.
The wokest states would not be ripping down hydro-electric dams.
Bruce Springsteen, however, would be performing concerts to protest the lack of nuclear power plants.
In the four years under Democrat control, Delco’s budget went from 40 pages to 421 pages, and county residents can expect a 35-percent permanent property tax hike if the Ds keep council this November.
Monica Taylor is among those up for election.

Morton Homestead Filthy Information Station — Here’s one of the information stations at the Morton Homestead off Route 420 in Prospect Park. The structure is traceable to 1698 and may be the oldest building in Pennsylvania. But really, you think someone can do something about the filthy information stations? They are all like this by the way. The photo was taken, Aug. 4.

The Delco Juvenile Offender Mystery — Our story about last night’s United4Delco’s candidate’s forum caused a brouhaha after we reported that Delaware County’s juvenile offenders are being being incarcerated at the county’s Intermediate Unit educational facility in Aston.
Delco’s juvenile detention facility has been shuttered, after all, and the mischievous tykes have to be kept somewhere.
We have since heard that they were only been kept at the school during the day. Where do they go at night? They didn’t say.
We heard that they were being sent to juvenile facilities in Montco and Chesco. Then we heard that wasn’t true, and that Montco and Chesco weren’t taking them because, well, they were just too unruly.
Then we heard they are being shipped to Ohio.
So what does District Attorney Jack Stollsteimer say about it? He is the guy responsible, after all, and dreams of being president despite an objective lack of competence in the job he now holds.
We await his answer.
We did hear that Aston Police were being sent to the I.U. almost daily to deal with the younguns.
The Delco Juvenile Offender Mystery
Trafficked Minors Reach Queens And Sex Crimes Escalate
By Joe Guzzardi
As the sex trafficking crisis via the Southwest border worsens, and the related crimes overwhelm even the largest communities, women’s rights groups like the National Organization for Women remain inexplicably silent.
NOW’s website describes the organization as a grassroots activist group focused on promoting feminist ideals. Vocal on a woman’s right to choose and affirmative action, NOW stands passively by and mum as females of all ages and ethnicities are trafficked across the Southwest border and put to work as prostitutes.
The normally outspoken Nancy Grace apparently has no opinion either on the connection between the open border and the abuse of young women who are illegal aliens without valid work authorization. For many, other than minimum wage jobs that are barely life sustaining, prostitution may be the only option. The link between the Biden administration’s refusal to enforce immigration laws at the border and in the interior to soaring crime rates is inarguable.
In Queens, New York, the combination of open borders and the hands-off policy that’s been imposed on New York’s police officers has turned the borough into what New York Post reporters labeled as “the city’s boldest open-air market for sex.”
Dressed in provocative clothing, prostitutes are seen in front of pool halls, dentist offices and massage parlors day and night. They recruit neighborhood children to distribute their X-rated business cards. The prostitutes’ brazen behavior is evident in broad daylight, in front of innocent minors, aghast residents and legitimate commercial enterprises. Dozens of houses of ill repute have set up shop along Roosevelt Avenue, a major Queens throughway. One observer noted that vans reportedly driven by cartel human traffickers have been seen unloading underage girls on Roosevelt Avenue.
The sex workers that troll the area’s red-light district are so confident they won’t be prosecuted that they advertise their services on a YouTube channel for Spanish speakers. Ten-minute long footage displays women working in the “Market of Sweethearts” as two men instruct viewers how to negotiate the best deal with the prostitutes. The channel has 19,000 subscribers.
In April, a whistleblower told Congress’ House Judiciary Committee that the “United States’ federal government has become the ‘middleman’ in a multibillion-dollar human trafficking operation targeting unaccompanied minors at the southern border.” Tara Lee Rodas told the committee that the Office of Refugee Resettlement frequently delivers children to criminal-infested homes who then treat them like commodities to be abused in underage sex or labor exploitations.
In May, U.S. Customs and Border Protection encountered an average of 435 unaccompanied minors per day. A Heritage Foundation study found that drug cartels and traffickers will exploit 60 percent of these children in prostitution, forced labor and child pornography.
In June alone, the Biden administration released 344 kids to nonrelated adults, some of whom are illegal aliens. Most of the families that assumed responsibility for the minors already had multiple children in their care. Such children are prime targets for abuse. About half of Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s “most wanted” child trafficking criminals are from Mexico, the nation that cartels control.
NOW, Nancy Grace and other women’s advocates aren’t the only missing voices that would have the influence to bring the brazen lawlessness at the border and subsequently in Queens to light, and help to bring it under control. While no longer House Speaker, U.S. Representative Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has often spoken about the importance of protecting and nurturing immigrant children. Angelina Jolie, Hollywood superstar, is another child advocate whose input on the abuse that the open border fosters is, like NOW, Grace and Pelosi, missing from the dialogue.
At this stage of his administration, Biden won’t impose border and interior enforcement. But, without a policy change, sex and other crimes involving children will mushroom. ICE and the New York Police Department have been neutered. Tragically, no one else is around to prevent the crimes from continuing.
