Pro Choice Pigs — The Clintons and the corporations are pushing the meme that bans or restrictions on abortion are “anti-woman”.
He’s with her.
This is epic Orwellian wordplay.
The men most inclined to treat women as sex toys are invariably “pro choice”.
Why do Larry Flynt and Gloria Steinem support the same candidates? Why is Jeffery Epstein a friend of the Clintons? Why do rap musicians and Hollywood “players” back Democrats, often only because of their position on abortion?
You don’t need to be Einstein to connect the dots.
The motivations of those who are pro life are also not hard to fathom. All decent persons believe that there is an obligation to protect the weak and helpless. All with an IQ above room temperature understand that life indisputably starts somewhere.
You ever notice that it is the “pro choice” crowd that goes to extremes to avoid discussing where that somewhere might be?
What is hard to fathom, however, is why women somehow are supposed to think that it is in their interest to tell men that the baby they’re carrying is none of their business.
Donald Trump was a Hollywood-connected billionaire who obviously did his share of things that were wrong. Unlike his fellow one-percenters, though, he seems to understand this and is willing to make amends.
If you have a soul, he’s basically your only choice in this election.
Toomey McGinty Debate — If you missed Monday’s (Oct. 17) debate between U.S. Senate candidates Republican incumbent Pat Toomey and Democrat Katie McGinty you can find it here.
We didn’t watch it either.
We will be voting for Toomey, though, for this if nothing else.
Charlton, Schaefer Debate Before 150 — The candidates seeking to replace Bill Adolph for the 165th District Seat in the Pennsylvania State House debated tonight (Oct. 18) before an audience of about 150 at the Springfield Township Building.
The lawn of the Springfield Township Building before tonight’s debate.
Alex Charlton of Springfield, the Republican, emphasized many times that Pennsylvania has a spending problem not one of revenue. “It’s not that we tax enough but that we spend too much,” he said.
Elaine Schaefer of Radnor, the Democrat, pushed over and over an extraction tax on natural gas, and forcing more revenue from corporations as budget solutions.
Both supported more education spending. Charlton noted that he had three daughters. Both supported greater government transparency. Charlton especially defended the Open Records Office and condemned Gov. Wolf’s attempt to politicize it last year.
Shaefer said she opposed privatizing the state-owned liquor stores because Pennsylvania would lose revenue. Charlton supported liquor privatization and noted that most of the revenue would remain as it comes from taxes which would be unchanged. He also noted that Pennsylvania would get money from the sale of the liquor stores.
Shaefer strongly defended Gov. Wolf’s plan to resettle a massive number of Syrian refugees in the state. She cited the benefits of diversity. She said that until someone is identified as a “bad actor” we must assume he is not. Charlton thought Wolf’s plan was foolish. “We need to put the needs of our citizens first,” he said.
Schaefer rabidly defended Planned Parenthood and unrestricted abortion. Charlton noted that Planned Parenthood was a billion dollar corporation but that defunding it was not on his agenda. Rather, his emphasis would be on health care for pregnant women. He noted that as long as Roe v Wade was in effect it was difficult to address abortion legislatively.
Schaefer attacked the National Rifle Association and condemned legislation that allowed municipalities to be sued if they enacted gun laws that went beyond what the state had enacted. Charlton pointed out that a state-wide patchwork of gun laws would cause turmoil and that a gun owner should have an expectation of consistency when moving around the state.
Both candidates said open space was important to a community. Schaefer took issue with Charlton’s suggestion last summer that the Philadelphia Archdiocese donate the Don Guanella tract in Marple that is up for development. She said the acquisition of open space is a long, complicated process. Charlton noted that he has met with the Archdiocese, that they were not offended and that the matter is advancing.
In response to a question regarding the recent state Supreme Court ruling that the “local share assessment” provision in the state gambling code unfairly burdened some casinos, Charlton said it was critical that Chester City and Delaware County not lose the money that they had been getting from Harrah’s in Chester, and that he expected the legislature to have the matter addressed before the winner of this election took office.
Schaefer said she wanted to tax drilling in the Marcellus Shale.
The debate was sponsored by the League of Women Voters and was videorecorded by John Haines Sr of Off Net TV. It should be available at his YouTube channel here. Or one can contact him for information, anyway.
Q. What do Winston Churchill’s son, Prescott Bush’s banking partner, Edward R. Murrow, Prince Aly Khan, and Baron Elie de Rothschild have in common?

165th Legislative District Debate Tonight — The candidates for the 165th Pennsylvania Legislative District seat will debate 7:30 tonight, Oct. 18, at the Springfield Township Building, 50 Powell Road, Springfield, PA 19064.
On the ballot are Republican Alex Charlton and Democrat Elaine Schaefer. The seat had been held by Bill Adolph since 1988.
The district consists of Springfield Township, except for part of the 2nd Division in the 3rd Ward; Morton Borough; Marple Township, except for the 5th Ward; and the 4th and 6th wards of Radnor Township along with the 1st Division of the 1st Ward, the 1st Division of the 3rd Ward, and the 2nd Division of the 5th Ward.
As of the 2011 redistricting it had a population of 63,769.
Chesco Cronyists Praised By Politico — The cronyist website Politico has a pompous bit of punditry concerning Chester County, Pa. and how Donald Trump is doomed, doomed, doomed because cronyist Republican Congressman Ryan Costello represents much of it.
And of course he’s tight with county GOP Chairman Val DiGirogio, who is desperately seeking to become state boss, and, by extension, Montco Dem Boss Josh Shapiro who is this year’s D candidate for state attorney general.
Ask him to defend $400 G public pensions. We dare you.
If anti-cronyists learn to start thinking strategically they might start winning. There are certain Democrats with whom they might be wise to start a dialogue. If the party powers get wind that voters (and activists) whom they have taken for granted are negotiating with the other side — and the other side becomes aware that they might be willing to back them with a little give and take — guys like Costello might behave a little better when legislating.
It should be remembered that DiGirogio is more than happy to work with Dems as is Costello, obviously.
What Costello, and DiGirogio and Shapiro have in common is that self-interest is paramount. What conservative activists might find they have in common with some Dems is that the public good comes first although they may have different ways of achieving this shared goal.
Really, ask DiGirogio — or Shapiro — to defend having working people cover $400,000 public pensions. What proves the point is that they will.
Have you no shame, Mrs. Clinton? Have you no shame?
Hillary Groping Allegation — A journalist has released a video that has gone viral describing an horrific experience with Hillary Clinton in which Mrs. Clinton brutally groped her in an airplane bathroom.
Prissy Holly says the event occurred 10 years ago and she provides numerous corroborating details.
It is every bit as substantiated as the allegations made by the Clinton campaign’s minions against Donald Trump.
