Chesco Cronyists Praised By Politico
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.
Costello votes for big government about 70 percent of the time.
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.
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.

Hillary Groping Allegation
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.
It is trending as #HillaryGropedMe.

Jason Brezler Ruling Postponed
Jason Brezler Ruling Postponed — A federal judge, Oct. 14, postponed ruling whether Jason Brezler should be drummed out of the U.S. Marine Corps.
Judge Joseph Bianco of the Eastern District of New York gave the Corps 10 days to submit affidavits proving that what they are trying to do is not in retaliation for Brezler contacting Congressman Peter King (R-NY2) for help.
Brezler’s travail can be traced to his deployment in Afghanistan in 2010.
Among the characters with whom Major Brezler dealt was Sarwar Jan, a corrupt, child-molesting police commander.
Sarwar was endangering his unit due to the hatred he was inspiring among the populace hence Brezler got him removed from his position.
Brezler left active duty and became a New York City fireman while remaining a Marine Corps reservist.
He learned in 2012 that Sarwar was back. He sent a sent a classified briefing about him to to the operations officer at Forward Operating Base Dehli in Afghanistan using his personal email account which was unsecured. A few days later one of the boys Sarwar was molesting killed three Marines: Staff Sgt. Scott Dickinson, 29, Cpl. Richard Rivera, 20, and Lance Cpl. Greg Buckley.
How did the Marine Corps higher ups react? They were outraged but not at those who let Sarwar back into power. Brezler was the villain. He had used his unsecured email to send a classified document. Never mind the immediacy and necessity of the warning. Brezler VIOLATED THE RULES.
The Marines gave Brezler an unfavorable fitness report in March 2013. Brezler went to King. In December of that year a board of inquiry recommended he be discharged.
Brezler appealed to federal court and that is where we stand.
Oh, if only Brezler was a Democrat running for president. Oh, if only he had a few million to “contribute” to the Clinton Foundation. All this would go away and life would be peachy.
If serfdom is your desire then vote for Hillary Clinton.

Netflix Amazon Show Tips
Netflix Amazon Show Tips — Tired of politics?
Here are 10 enjoyable TV shows from Netflix and Amazon Prime that most of us have likely not seen.
1. Detectorists (Netflix) — This is about a couple of guys who belong to a metal detector club in England. Laugh a minute? No. Thrill a minute? No. Intense? Um, definitely no. Trust us, though, it works. Episodes run a little over 20 minutes.
2. A Very Secret Service (Netflix) — This is in French with subtitles. It is a spoof of ’60s Cold War spy thrillers from the French point of view. It’s very well done, although not for everybody’s taste. Episodes also run a little over 20 minutes.
3. Terriers (Netlix) — This is about an alcoholic ex-cop and his ex-criminal friend who run a lawn care business in San Diego that segues into private investigation. It ran for 13 episodes on FX in the fall of 2010. It has since developed a bit of a cult following. It has a great theme song. Warning: It doesn’t hit its stride until about episode 4. Episodes run about 45 minutes.
4. The Finder (Netflix) — This is a spin-off of the hit Fox series Bones. It concerns a quirky Iraq War vet with the ability to make connections of seemingly random events as a result of a war injury. It ran for 13 episodes in the winter/spring fo 2012. Episodes run about 45 minutes.
5. Life (Netflix) — This went two seasons on NBC starting in 2007. It’s about a Los Angeles policeman exonerated after spending 12 years in prison for killing his wife. He gets a settlement allowing him to become a multi-millionaire and the Los Angeles Police Department is forced to take him back allowing him to pursue justice. The series ends with the completion of the story arc.
6. Last Kingdom (Netflix) — This British production is based on Bernard Cornwell’s historical novels series The Saxon Stories. It concerns the Viking invasion of England starting in 865 A.D. and how it conquered the entire country but for Alfred the Great’s Wessex. It’s not a bad introductory history. The eight episode series dragged a bit in the middle. We skipped the 7th installment and jumped straight to the end, which wrapped it up nicely. Episodes run about an hour.
7. Goliath (Amazon Prime) — This is a product of Amazon Prime and was released Oct. 13. It stars Billy Bob Thornton as a once super lawyer who is now a drunk and has to take on the evil mega law firm he created and shady corporate interests. We binge-watched the first three episodes and found them great. They run 54 minutes.
8. The War (Amazon Prime) — This seven part Ken Burn history of World War II ran on PBS in 2007. It’s powerful history. The segments run about 2 hours.
9. Suits (Amazon Prime) — This legal drama remains in production and is not really obscure other than that it runs on USA. It started in 2011. It’s much better to watch without commercials. Episodes run 42 minutes.
10. John Adams (Amazon Prime) — This seven-episode biography about founding father and second president ran on HBO in 2008. Episodes are about an hour and a half. It is excellent history and watching it will make you willing to crawl over glass to vote against Hillary Clinton. Sorry about the politics.

Gale Spanks Smug Shapiro In Montco
Gale Spanks Smug Shapiro In Montco — Montgomery County Commissioner Joe Gale is proving himself to be what we need in government.
Gale is the mandated minority Republican on Montco’s Democrat-controlled Board of Commissioners.
He won election against the wishes of party leaders. He was unwilling to go along to get along in party politics and he’s doing same in county governance.
Gale last month revealed an apparent pay-to-play scheme regarding the North Hills Manor public housing project in Upper Dublin. He also noted that he wasn’t getting information about proposed legislation until just before the scheduled votes and criticized the well-paid county department heads.
Board Chairman Josh Shapiro tried to smugly give him a spanking at the Oct. 6 meeting. Gale took the switch from his hand and wiped the smirk right off the power-broker’s face.
You can watch it here.

Donald Trump Biblical Hero
Donald Trump Biblical Hero — Grandstandnews.com addresses the concerns of those who think Donald Trump lacks the demeanor to be president in this article comparing him to Samson of the Bible.
It makes a point that needs to be made. A leader does not have to be pure and saintly to be a deliverer.
We have the candidates we deserve — listen to our music or watch a movie if you doubt it.
One of them, though, has loyalty to the corrupt, Godless rich that wants to rule and impoverish most of us. The other is opposed by them.
It really shouldn’t be a tough choice. To insist on purity now is an exercise in sanctimonious futility.
There is a type of person that demands perfection but is willing to accept the basest, vilest corruption as long as he can pat himself on the back and wear a halo.
Don’t be that person.
