Secretary Walsh Confused About Facts
Secretary Walsh Confused About Facts
By Joe Guzzzardi
Give Department of Labor Secretary Marty Walsh grudging credit. Walsh may be the only honest man in President Biden’s administration. When asked to comment on the August Bureau of Labor Statistics jobs report and the alleged worker shortage, Walsh didn’t give a mealy-mouthed reply.
Instead, Walsh, supposedly appointed and confirmed to represent the American labor force, came right out and talked about the job market’s “inequity.” Walsh elaborated that in his discussions with corporate officials, they’re unanimously in favor of simplifying the visa process, and of “immigration reform,” well-known amnesty code words. True nirvana for Walsh and his corporate overlords would be more immigration, occurring more quickly, “the only way” to improve the economy, the labor secretary insisted.
Analysts who have followed Walsh’s political career aren’t surprised by his abandonment of American workers in favor of foreign-born labor. As Boston’s mayor, Walsh responded to President Trump’s threat to defund sanctuary cities like his with this brazen retort, defying immigration law: “If people [illegal immigrants] want to live here, they’ll live here. They can use my office. They can use any office in this building.” Walsh also pledged to support and expand the Mayor’s Office of New Bostonians [illegal immigrants] to increase access to City Hall services. As a state representative, Walsh voted “yes” on instate tuition for illegal aliens.
Through several administrations, labor secretaries have been prominent mouthpieces for illegal immigration expansion. In 2001, George W. Bush appointed Elaine Chao, married to Mitch McConnell, a Kentucky U.S. senator known for his immigration advocacy. Hilda Solis followed Chao. A California U.S. representative, Solis, 100 percent of the time, cast votes that would either expand immigration or compromise enforcement. After leaving the Cabinet, Solis became Los Angeles County supervisor chair, and unsurprisingly her immigration advocacy continued. After Chao and Solis departed, other immigration advocates followed: Thomas Perez, Alexander Acosta and Eugene Scalia.
We have to go way back to the Carter administration to find a labor secretary, Ray Marshall, who spoke the truth about immigration. In an interview about the H-1B visa, Marshall called it “One of the best con jobs ever done on the American public and political systems.” Unfortunately, Marshall only got around to telling it like it is decades after his appointment ended.
Returning to Walsh, the danger is that he’s wrong on his facts and is promoting a goal that will further undermine U.S. workers – more foreign-born labor. To keep voters’ eyes off the ball, the government doesn’t issue reports on the total number of temporary guest workers admitted each year. The aggregate, however, can be estimated through available data.
The U.S. has an abundance of immigrant labor, some on employment visas, and others who have entered either legally or illegally. Analysts estimate that about 1 million guest workers are in the economy, and each year about 1 million lawful permanent residents will receive lifetime-valid employment authorization. Roughly half of the guest workers are considered white-collar, including tech workers, accountants and bankers.
Included among the visas that facilitate international white-collar employment are H-1Bs, L-1s, J-1s, Optional Practical Training (OPT) and O-1s. The H-2A and the H-2B visas open up blue-collar jobs in agriculture, construction, forestry, leisure and hotel services for foreign nationals. Not accounted for in this broad overview is the ultimate effect that 2.1 million illegal immigrant border crossers will have on employment. Many have already received parole, an immigration status Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas improperly applied, but which nevertheless includes employment approval.
The very high level of immigrant labor is not only hurtful to existing employment-age Americans, but also to the 4 million who turn 18 every year, and begin to look for permanent jobs or part-time positions to supplement family incomes or to save for college education. The U.S. doesn’t need to import labor to serve cocktails or to pour cement. A responsible labor secretary would protect Americans’ labor interests and not send out a clarion call for more immigrants to compete with U.S. workers. A pro-America labor secretary would promote mandatory e-Verify and demand strict internal job site enforcement.
Walsh is not that hoped for, but ever-elusive labor secretary. He’s just another immigration shill in an administration that, from top to bottom, is committed to undoing the sovereign American nation through open borders and imported labor.

Montco Commissioners Grilled About Unsupervised Ballot Boxes
Montco Commissioners Grilled About Unsupervised Ballot Boxes
By Pauline Braccio
Election integrity was the subject of most of those speaking before Montgomery County Board of Commissioners, Sept. 1, and many questions involved the unsupervised ballot drop-boxes placed around the county.
Also, the manner and place where the mail-ballots will be counted was brought up. As well, as the length of time people will have to vote. The mail-in ballots are slated to go out starting on Sept. 19.
That means more than 7 weeks of early voting.
Another hot topic is the unlawful interpretation of the Pennsylvania Sunshine Law. The Sunshine Law governs the way public meetings are held. The law is not being followed. Josh Stein, the current county solicitor, is the author of the Rules for Public Comment. It has been brought to his attention on several occasions in the past several months that he is violating not only the Sunshine Law, but the US Constitution, as well. Objections were raised while he was reading the “Rules.”
The new justice center is also of debate. The commissioners approved a building that will cost the residents $500 million over the next three to five years. That is half a billion! Is it any wonder taxes are climbing and will continue to do so? There was no information given as to why this colossal building is necessary. No building plans made public. This is the dream of Judge Thomas DelRicci. He is still a judge on Court of Common Pleas. DelRicci just stepped down as the President Judge.
Please come to the next meeting in person. It is 10 a.m., Thursday, Sept 15 at One Montgomery Plaza, 425 Swede St, Norristown. It is directly across Swede St from the courthouse. The meeting is held on the 8th Floor.
If you attend through Zoom, you will not have the ability to voice an objection during the meeting because your mic will be muted. This is also a violation of the Sunshine Law.
You can watch the Sept 1 meeting here or below.
Start at minute marker 17:31 to get to the beginning of the Public Comment portion and Josh Stein is reading the rules for public comment. What follows are the comments from those in attendance and on Zoom.

In the Caribbean there are oysters that can climb trees. Well, they really don’t climb them. They attach to the submerged roots and hang on while the tide goes out. They are called Mangrove oysters.

Josh Shapiro Ellen Greenberg And Looming Election
Josh Shapiro Ellen Greenberg And Looming Election — Josh Shapiro kicked the controversial Ellen Greenberg case to Chester County District Attorney Deb Ryan in August after sitting on it since 2019.
Was Pennsylvania’s looming gubernatorial election a motive? The polls show it tight between Democrat Shapiro and Republican Doug Mastriano.
Miss Greenberg, a kindergarten teacher engaged to NBC producer Samuel Goldberg, was found dead by Goldberg in her Manayunk apartment on Jan. 26, 2011. She had 22 stab wounds. The case was initially ruled a homicide by the Philadelphia Medical Examiner’s office, then changed to suicide.
Miss Greenberg’s parents, Josh and Sandee, rejected the finding as some of the wounds were to her back and head and some apparently occurred after death.
In 2019, they asked the city’s District Attorney’s office headed by Larry Krasner to review the case. Krasner sent it state Attorney General Shapiro as Krasner had represented the Greenbergs.
And so Shapiro sat on it despite a media controversy. Would it really take three years to determine if the wounds were from behind? To have occurred after-death?
Those kind of injuries would pretty much rule out suicide.
Why the stonewalling?
True crime Youtuber Gavin Fish has been following the case.

NFL Starts Second Century; George Halas Remembered
NFL Starts Second Century; George Halas Remembered
By Joe Guzzardi
The National Football League has started its second century as the gridiron world’s highest achievable professional level. Formed in 1920 as the American Professional Football Association (APFA), it rebranded itself in 1922 as the NFL. Going back to the APFA’s birth, George Halas has been football’s most prominent and creative head coach. Moreover, had George Herman “Babe” Ruth not been slamming baseballs into outer space, Halas might have been the New York Yankees’ regular right fielder.
Halas’ success as a head coach began in 1921 when he led the Chicago Staleys to a 10-7 victory over the Buffalo All-Americans in an end-of-season league championship contest. For the next half-century, Halas was a player, head coach, owner and front office executive. Most well-known for leading the Chicago Bears, the “Monsters of the Midway,” to eight NFL titles, Halas also took credit for renaming his team. Halas had a close personal relationship with Chicago Cubs owner Philip Wrigley. In rebranding the Staleys, Halas concluded that since football players are much bigger than baseball’s Cubs, they must be “Bears.”
But Halas’ long run as NFL icon may never have happened – or would have been delayed by a decade or so – if he had won a New York Yankees’ starting outfield slot. The Yankees had been following Halas’ baseball career since his junior year at the University of Illinois. A three major sports star, Halas played end on the football team, could shoot a basketball and starred on the baseball team, where he hit for average, knew his way around the basepaths, and excelled in the outfield. Halas hit .350 during his sophomore season, good enough to impress Yankees’ scout Bob Connery, who invited him to join the Yankees at spring training. Halas declined, but promised to keep in touch after he earned his university engineering degree. Then, World War I intervened, and Halas enlisted in the Navy.
Discharged after the war, Halas honored his pledge to Connery, signing with the Yankees for a $500 bonus and a $400 monthly salary. Earlier, Illinois awarded Halas his diploma as a tribute for his war service. His college education completed, in the spring of 1919, Halas reported to the Yankees where he made an immediate impression. The New York Times scouting report: “He is swift afoot and is a heady and proficient base runner. He covers a lot of ground in the outfield, and best of all he is a world of enthusiasm for the game.”
But from the outset, Halas had cursed luck. In a spring training game, batting against the Brooklyn Dodgers Hall of Famer Rube Marquard, Halas, trying to stretch a double into a triple, injured his hip sliding hard into third, which put him out of commission for the season’s first few months. As Halas recalled: “That slide was the beginning of the end of my baseball career.” Halas’ bum hip slowly healed. In May 1919, he led off against the Philadelphia A’s and connected for his first hit, one of only two singles in his brief MLB career. In 22 at-bats, Halas hit .091 and was demoted to the AAA St. Paul Saints. By 1920, Ruth, a blossoming superstar, was a Yankee, and Halas was embroiled in a contract dispute with the Saints. Halas then accepted an offer from the A.E. Staley Co. to form football’s best semi-pro team.
Halas lived a rich and rewarding life. Not only did Halas co-create the NFL, but he also compiled a .671 professional coaching record and was named an All-Pro end. He served in World Wars I and II, earned the rank of Captain and was awarded a Bronze Star. With his unique T-formation, Halas’ 1940 Bears trounced the Washington Redskins 73-0 in history’s most lopsided NFL Championship game. And, however briefly, Halas proudly wore a Yankees’ uniform.
In 1983, at age 88, “Papa Bear,” as Halas was lovingly called, died after a brief battle with pancreatic cancer, one of his few losing fights.
