The White Star Line built just three Olympic-class luxury class ocean liners. The RMS Olympic suffered a major collision with the cruiser HMS Hawke months after its maiden voyage in 1911 but survived to have a long career. The RMS Titanic, well, was the RMS Titanic. The RMS Britannic was turned into a hospital ship for World War I. It sank in 1916 after hitting a German mine. Violet Jessop was there for all three disasters — as a stewardess on the Olympic and Titanic when it sunk, and as a nurse on the Britannic. She died in 1971.

Meehan Gets Independence Hall Endorsement
Meehan Gets Independence Hall Endorsement — The influential Independence Hall Foundation, a conservative grass roots organization with thousands of followers in the tri-state (DE, NJ, PA) region, is announcing today that its Board of Directors has voted unanimously to endorse Pat Meehan for Congress in the April 26 Pennsylvania Primary.
“The 20-member Board of the Independence Hall Foundation has chosen to endorse Congressman Meehan (PA-7) because of his conservative record on fiscal, social, and defense issues” said Foundation spokesperson, Teri Adams, of Montgomery County, PA.
“We supported Pat Meehan when he first ran for office in 2010 and we fought hard to flip the seat from D to R as Democrat Joe Sestak had been the seat’s prior occupant.
“We see absolutely no reason to withdraw our support now.
“In fact, we are proud of Congressman Meehan’s efforts to overturn ObamaCare; defund Planned Parenthood; lower taxes; decrease spending; expose corrupt practices of the Veterans Administration; hold the Obama Administration accountable on the Benghazi and Fast and Furious scandals; and support our nation’s military preparedness.
“In January 2015, Congressman Meehan spoke at the Foundation’s Delaware Valley Pro-Blue Rally in support of our region’s law enforcement community.
“While we may not agree with every vote cast by Congressman Meehan, we are more than pleased with his overall record,” said Ms. Adams.
Meehan is being challenged in the April 26 Republican primary by Stan Casacio.

Chesco Conservatives Reject Inquisitors’ Demands
Chesco Conservatives Reject Inquisitors’ Demands — The grassroots constitutionalists have rejected the demands of the Chester County Republican Inquisition to appear before it this evening, April 14.
The Inquisition against the grassroots leadership of Area 19 was initially convened for Jan. 11. Committeepeople Jane Ladley, who chairs the district, Tom Ferro, Donna Ellingsen and Steve Mobley were accused of violating party bylaws and of not backing the left-leaning, big-government, Establishment-supported picks in the last municipal election.
Well, unfortunate light began to be shed on the various connections and histories of those seeking the purge. So delays began happening.
Eventually, the charges were withdrawn against Ferro and Mrs. Ladley.
Still facing the dock, though, were Mrs. Ellingsen and Mobley, and they were told to schedule time for a hearing in March. They suggested three dates. No can do said the party bosses who set dates in late March which the grassroots constitutionalists could not attend.
On April 10, in response to many inquiries, Mrs. Ellingsen sent an email update noting dates had been offered but they were awaiting confirmation that the hearing would be open to the public as per their request.
Did that get a response.
The GOP bosses immediately set the date for April 14 without confirming the schedules of the accused.
Mobley is going to be out of state that day on a previously planned trip.
But the scheduling is not the big issue.
The big issue is that the hearing be open to the public. The party says no.
The party also warned them that they be strictly limited in the matters they could raise in their case and this would be judged by Joel Frank, the lawyer to county GOP Chairman Val DiGiorgio. This means that instances in which party favorites did similar things without controversy or sanction would be kept from being aired.
The directive would also prevent the grassroots people from pointing out actions by party leaders that are far more damaging to the claimed Republican agenda and supportive of the opposition.
In lieu of this, the accused do not believe the party leadership is interested in healing rifts that have developed and further don’t believe party leadership has any intention of allowing a fair hearing.
“Since no agreement has been reached and one of the parties is unavailable, it appears there is no hearing tonight,” said Mrs. Ellingsen.
Mrs. Ellingsen is on the ballot for the April 26 primary election.
“By mere coincidence, I am the only committeewoman in Area 19 with a challenger,” she said. “The challenger is someone who has been politically uninvolved until now and sympathetic to the GOP Establishment views. “
