JPCD Job Seeker Workshop Dec. 5
JPCD Job Seeker Workshop Dec. 5 — Rhonda Watson, of Joseph’s People Central Delco (JPCD), will prove that a slowdown of companies who hire during the holidays is a myth. Job seekers could miss a golden opportunity if they wait until after the first of the year. The program is 7 – 8:30 pm, Tuesday, Dec. 5, at Media Presbyterian Church’s Hassler Chapel, 30 E. Baltimore Pike, Ave., Media. The chapel can be accessed from the Baltimore Avenue side, to the left of the main door, or around back on East Franklin Street. Enter the back door and go up the stairs.
This workshop will help job seekers build a search strategy by answering the following questions: Who can you reach out to? What networking events can you attend? What opportunities can you follow up on? How can you polish your resume and online brand?
Having a proactive approach to securing interviews through the holidays can make a big difference. Come share your job search strategies and network while tasting holiday treats. All are welcome, without regard to religious affiliation.
JPCD is a joint program of Media Presbyterian Church and St. Laurence Church in Upper Darby that provides networking opportunities, guidance and emotional support to job seekers and career changers.

Beethoven and Mozart wrote glass armonica music. Unlike bifocals, though, this invention by Benjamin Franklin did not have staying power.

Franken Rose Photo Illustrates Establishment Corruption
Franken Rose Photo Illustrates Establishment Corruption
These two buddies enjoying a joke (about women?) perfectly illustrate a big reason for this nation’s problems. A society can’t survive if it is based on lies.
Sen. Al Franken and newly unemployed commentator Charlie Rose for years have been setting social mores and controlling the information we have been receiving much of which was out-and-out falsehood. Matthew Shepard was murdered because he was gay? George W. Bush was a racist? Women make 77 cents on the dollar compared to men? Donald Trump colluded with the Russians?
Etc. etc. etc.
All were repeated as truths by the crowd to which these guys belonged and all were lies. One of Shepard’s murderers, it turns out, was a fellow drug dealer and occasional lover. Homophobia had nothing to do with it. Bush, of course, was governor when James Byrd’s murderers received the death penalty. And women make the same amount as men for the same job, workload and skill level.
And while there is no reason to think President Trump colluded with the Russians there is plenty of reason to think his cool-crowd-connected opponent did.
Of course, unless you get your info from alternative sources such as talk radio or independent websites, you are not going to know this.
And now it turns out that Franken and Rose and whole lot of others were self-centered pigs who were laughing up their sleeves at the truth for the last four decades.
Well, it paid well.

The Tang Dynasty abolished the death penalty way back in 747 A.D. It didn’t take. They restored it 12 years later.

Charles Manson Dies 45 Years Late
Charles Manson Dies 45 Years Late — Charles Manson is dead and it’s 45 years too late.
I was eight years old in the summer of 1969 when the Manson cult killed nine innocent people. It horrified me and I’d put my fingers in my ears when the story was reported on the radio.
But as my understanding of the world then came from TV shows where the bad guys would be caught and justice done, I had faith that would happen.
And they did catch the bad guys.
Justice, though, was never done.
Manson and three of his followers — others would be convicted of other murders — were found guilty in 1971 and received the death penalty. The Supreme Court, however, bizarrely ruled the next year that the death penalty as it existed was unconstitutional and commuted all death sentences to life in prison.
And so Manson live to an old age with the cool crowd calling him a hero. Rolling Stone magazine, which hopefully soon goes the way of Manson, portrayed him as a visionary and expressed sympathy for him. Hippie underground newspapers named him Man of the Year. Chic radical Bernadine Dohrn expressed awe and admiration. Ms. Dohrn and her rapey husband Bill Ayers would go on to become Barack Obama’s mentors.
Pop singers adopt his name and his image can still be found on t-shirts.
I really am a fan of Pope Francis but he is dead wrong on the death penalty. The world — and America — would be exponentially better off if that piece of human debris kept his date with the gas chamber 45 years ago.

Oscar Wilde Jefferson Davis— Yoo hoo. Here’s something to make your favorite Social Justice Warrior’s head spin: British poet Oscar Wilde was a fan of the Confederacy.
It should be noted that while Wilde liked Rebel President Jefferson Davis, Davis didn’t like him.
