House Of Cards Delco Connection

House Of Cards Delco Connection — Netflix released its second season of its excellent Emmy-winning House of Cards series at 3:01 EST this morning, Valentine’s Day 2014.The series concerns an evil Democrat senator, his Lady Macbeth-type wife  and their Machiavellian schemes.

It has an extremely strong Delaware County, Pa. connection in that one
of the major characters in the first season was a congressman who
represented the 1st District of Pennsylvania, which includes most of the Delaware County waterfront along with Philadelphia-bordering communities such as Darby and Yeadon.\

Oh yeah and Swarthmore and Nether Providence i.e. hooty-tooty Wallingford.

Anyway, what happened to the congressman is best not revealed as there are those who might want to catch up with season one, although we can say he did look the least bit like Bob Brady.

We are looking forward to enjoying season 2.

Pennsylvania Budget Hearings Underway

The Pennsylvania House Appropriations Committee has began its annual budget hearings, notes State Rep. Jim Cox (R-129).

The hearings will continue through the end of the month to ensure all state departments and agencies are provided an opportunity to testify and to allow members to ask questions regarding proposed allocations in the 2014-15 spending plan, says Cox.

Comcast Deal Makes Philly Cable King

Comcast Deal Makes Philly Cable King — Comcast, the Philadelphia-based communication conglomerate that is the nation’s largest cable company, has agreed to pay $45.2 billion to get Time Warner Cable Inc., which is the second largest cable company.It’s not necessarily good news for journalism or those interested in pursuing truth as Comcast also owns NBC and MSNBC, which are infamous propaganda tools for the “progressive” movements.

Hey, that’s a question all you OWS types should ask: Why does the world’s largest mass media company feign sympathy towards you? One of those things that should make you go hmmmm, it seems.

Comcast gets chronically low customer satisfaction grades.

We use Verizon here and are generally happy with it.

For those really wanting to save some bucks consider getting a Roku which gives you close to 100 free channels including Pandora music and repeats of Fox News shows along with Wall Street Journal reports. Add a $9 per month Netflix subscription and your entertainment needs are covered. You will still need a high speed internet connection to use it, though.

Happy Birthday, Mr. Lincoln

To quote Sen. Pat Toomey, today in 1809, one of our greatest presidents was born in a tiny log cabin. Happy birthday Mr. Lincoln. And thank you.

Michelle Tell All — OboyObama

Michelle Tell All — OboyObama

Oh boy, Obama.

The publication that broke the story of Democrat VP nominee John Edwards fathering a child with an infamous groupie as his wife was dying has now revealed that Michelle Obama is getting $15 million for a tell-all memoir ripping her hubby for chronic cheating and drinking, and general low-rent behavior.

The National Enquirer reports in the Feb. 17 edition that the Secret Service has been covering up for Barack’s infidelities and the President has shamelessly ignored the First Lady in the presence of other women.

The publication says Michelle feels the President has made her a laughingstock to the entire world.

It says she drew up divorce papers but changed her mind about filing for the sake of the presidency.

It says they will not likely be living together after 2018, with Michelle staying in D.C. until the children finish high school and Barack going to Hawaii where he will move in with old Choom Gang chum Bobby Titcomb.

It should be noted that Titcomb is still a playa with a 2011 arrest for soliciting a prostitute.

Michelle is writing the book because she wants history to remember her as a “strong woman” and not like “Hillary Clinton, who stood by her man Bill when he cheated like a dog,” according to the Enquirer.

And yes, Michelle does not like the Bidens either.

Ignorance Or Arrogance?

By Jim Vanore

I follow sports for what I consider the proper reason: They are a pleasant diversion from life’s everyday annoyances—from things like car payments, health issues, bank balances, income tax, political correctness, the shrinking waistband on my trousers…

I don’t follow (listen to, watch, or read about) sports for lessons in life. And certainly not for updates on what is and is not proper social behavior. So I became annoyed (infuriated actually) when I recently heard a 28-year old sports commentator (who by the way, has been on Earth less than half the time I’ve been following sports) make the blasé declaration that, “We’re not offended by that anymore,” while referring to the use of profanity in a public forum.

Really? We are not offended? Who the hell is “we” in his absolute affirmation? Was he referring to our society in general? Was it sports fans in particular? Was he perhaps singling out 20-something-year-olds, for whom he obviously (thinks he) is the spokesman?

His remark was made in objection to a penalty levied by the National Basketball Association on a player for shouting the profanity de rigueur, politely called the ‘f-word’, not once, but multiple times (to anyone who would listen, I guess) during a well-attended game.

Neophyte adults such as this Harvard graduate (Could the banter around that campus cafeteria be any worse than that heard in a military chow-hall?) often seem to make the mistake of believing that anything happening before their birth (indeed, before their cognizance) should be relegated to pre-history. Using that reasoning, I suppose I must accept his view (elsewise I might offend him).

So I suppose I could casually babble that language in his presence, or that of his wife, mother, sister, grandmother, daughter, or anyone he values, since, “He is not offended by that anymore.”

If the f-word does not offend him, what does? The n-word?  The s-word?  The q-word?  The c-word?  The r-word?  The m-word?

How about the a-word? Oh, hell…I’m just going to say it: The kid is arrogant! He must actually believe that his sensibilities set the standard for society…for sports fans…for 20-something-year-olds…

He certainly does not speak for most of the 20-somethings I interact with. (Of course, none attended Harvard.)

This is not the first time I’ve been resolute on this topic, and it’s not the first time that I’ve qualified my opinion by citing my résumé: After four years in the military and 22 years in the Philadelphia Police Department, I doubt there’s any expletive a novice could come up with that I haven’t heard, imagined, or broadcast myself.

Q. Please finish this saying: “Where ignorance is bless . . .

A. “Tis folly to be wise.”

Barack Obama, God’s Plan

Off the internet courtesy of Fran Coppock Barack Obama, God's Plan I, like many Americans, was deeply saddened by the reelection of Obama, was quick to be ashamed of America and the people who voted for him

Don’t know who this Pastor is but he hit the nail on the head.   (Written by a {Pastor}}
I, like many Americans, was deeply saddened by the  reelection of Obama, was quick to be ashamed of America and the people who voted for him and also questioned why God would allow this to happen. Today I started to reflect upon what happened and why. Then it hit me that I wasn’t trusting God and He is still in control! Perhaps God in his wisdom knew that Romney was not the right choice for us at this time. Perhaps God in his wisdom knew that whomever got elected was going to face huge problems and why shouldn’t Obama be the one to shoulder that responsibility. After all he is the one who has misled, lied to the American people, and has further plans for the destruction of our Country as we have known and loved it. He now has to “inherit” his own mess and can’t blame it on someone else.
The media would have crucified Romney over the next four years for “ruining” Obama’s hope and change plans and blamed him for all the problems. I believe that our God will show this nation what happens when you allow Godless people to manage the gifts this nation has to offer and He provided for us. I believe He will expose Obama once and for all for the failure he is and our corrupt media will not be able to save him.
I also believe that Obama’s attitude and treatment of Israel is not looked upon by God as obeying his command and Obama will have to answer for that. We have another Congressional election coming up in two years and maybe we can get rid of some of the democratic critters that occupy Congress today.
Maybe in four years we can run a ticket for President and Vice President like Paul Ryan and Marco Rubio. Maybe when America again suffers serious setbacks, people will realize what a weak and corrupt management team we have and be tired of it.
I will not question God’s wisdom or plans He has for us again, because He is in control and has always done what’s best for us. We are reminded that prayer isn’t always answered in the way we would like at the time, but God does answer our prayers in His time and in a way that is best for His children. So, let’s keep the Faith, lay our worries at His feet and trust God to take care of us!
This was on my heart today and I hope you all don’t mind my expressing these thoughts to you. I am in need of strength, encouragement and understanding as are so many of the faithful and good Americans in our Country today!

PRAY FOR AMERICA  !

If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and forgive their sin and heal their land.
2 Chronicles 7:14
