I tend to think unless the feds have recordings that prove 100% Allentown mayor Pawlowski implicated himself guilty of pay-to-play he's off the hook. Witnesses who cut deals by already admitting their guilt most likely will lack credibility in jurors eyes. Inference is one thing. Absolute self incriminating proof is another.
I've seen about four of five interviews Pa. Rep. Charlie Dent gave on TV the last week or so. OMG-- he should be Speaker Of The House. What a man of reason.
Elton John announced his retirement from touring. It's almost funny his planned farewell concerts will be spread over three years. What is truly exciting his first farewell tour date will take place at the PPL Center in Allentown on September 8th, 2018.
According to
'Alternet' Kimberly-Clark will use Trump's tax cuts to pay for it's plans to get rid of 5,000-5,500 people, --
"Kimberly-Clark’s CFO Maria Henry said during a call on Tuesday that the GOP tax cut bill's “cash flow benefits” to the company will assist in paying for the layoffs and that “tax savings would also be used to make capital investments and to ‘allocate significant capital to shareholders,’” according to the New York Times."The DOJ is planning on coming after so-called "sanctuary cities" threatening to arrest officials who won't enforce federal laws. Questions-- wouldn't local officials or law enforcement be exceeding their authority by enforcing federal laws? Should local taxpayers be forced to pay the costs of enforcing federal laws and resultant legal fees of our officials?
New York City is beginning to use "surge pricing" for vehicular traffic. One phase is charging different prices for bridges and tunnels during high volume periods. The second is using license plate readers to charge cars traveling on certain streets throughout the city. I can imagine one day this could come to the Lehigh Valley. You know what they say--monkey see, monkey do. Drivers may never know they're being charged or how much till they receive a bill. Could facial recognition one day be used to charge pedestrian foot traffic as well? Don't laugh. Nothing's too crazy anymore when it comes to government's money grabs.
Trump says no wall--no DACA. Democrats say-- no DACA no wall. I say come February 8th-- no budget. Not that I want it that way, but that is very much the reality we are facing.
Trump's at war with the FBI, sanctuary cities, liberals, so-called fake media, his former political opponent (Hillary), members of congress, former members of his own staff, women accusers, shithole countries, trade deals, Muslims, liberal leaning states and all so many more. Putin, China or our other advisories couldn't have asked for a better gift.
Pennsylvania legalized state gambling games, casinos, marijuana and now Philadelphia wants to legalize heroin shoot up sites. Legalized prostitution can't be far behind. Think of the cost savings Pennsylvania could realize if it shut down all those employed in vice investigations. MAGA again, eh?
Why did the U.S. require the RT (Russian) network register as a foreign agent? FOX News, talk radio and social media sites (especially comments left on Trump's own Twitter account) are doing far more damage to undermine peoples trust then RT ever could.
I have more thoughts but that will do it for now. I call this blog "Lehigh Valley Clancularius Introspectives" for a reason. It's because you'll never know what I come up with next. Please follow me via email (right sidebar) or through an RSS feed. Even if it's only one or two items you find of interest to you.
Thanks, LVCI
