HILLARY TAKES APART TRUMP
Wow, it helps when a candidate constantly on the go takes a few days off. Hillary Clinton eschewed campaigning over the Memorial Day weekend and finally provided a concentrated attack on Mr. Trump that exposed his weakness in Foreign Policy. Hillary Clinton came roaring back on the campaign trail the other day and eviscerated Donald Trump’s temperament as well as his lack of knowledge on Foreign Policy. Take a look at this:
THIS IS NOT YOU DAD’S WILKES BARRE CITY COUNCIL
The recent push-back against Wilkes Barre Mayor Tony George’s proposal to hire an ambulance company tied to Louis DeNaples was pretty impressive. Even my District Councilman Mike Merritt (we were sure he had disappeared into thin air because he seems oblivious to anything going on in the North end) got into the act with newcomers Beth Gilbert and Mike Belusko citing their concerns about an association with Trans Med. Veteran Bill Barrett has stated that the Mayor created a problem where one did not exist.
The Citizens’ Voice on Sunday revealed that the wealthy and influential DeNaples family is majority shareholder in Trans-Med Ambulance, which new Mayor Tony George unilaterally chose as the city’s new primary backup responder for EMS calls. The move ended a mutual aid pact with nonprofit ambulance services in three bordering municipalities, and drew a unanimous rebuke from city council.
A holding firm linked to DeNaples owned at least 56 percent of Trans-Med Ambulance Inc. as of August, according to disclosure forms filed with the state Department of Human Services.
It appears that there are votes on Council to stop this plan. Gone are the days of the 5-0 rubber stamp City Council in Wilkes Barre. (Citizen's Voice).
THEN THERE’S TONY BROOKS

Tony Brooks and your blog editor. (Photo: LuLac archives).
Newcomer Tony Brooks has taken to Face book and other forms of public communication to criticize the medians on River Street off the Market Street Bridge. Brooks has said they are hideous and it makes his blood boil to see them. The medians, Brooks says are ugly. I agree but my question is where were the people when all this was going down?
The things are in now and were designed by Penn Dot. Penn Dot is reverting to form.
It used to be back in the 70s and early 80s that Penn Dot was the statewide joke for cronyism and incompetence. That image was restored during the 90s and into the new century.
For sure Penn Dot is more informational than it used to be. But the silliness with the roundabouts as well as this is bringing back the agency’s old reputation as a place where bad ideas flourish. Plus the justification by the crack Penn Dot staff essentially sends the message that we here in the Lu and the Lac are idiots who need circles and medians to keep us from killing each other.
I’m sure James May would disagree but only in Pennsylvania, and in Wilkes Barre would you spend millions on building a beautiful waterfront and put a big old ass ugly strip in the middle of the road.
Maybe Tony Brooks and I are wrong. Maybe they put the medians in there to slow traffic down to see the remodeled project.
After all, 60,000 cars go by every day. With the medians, they sure will get a good slow look.

I can't be the only one who finds it just a bit apropos that the city's first openly gay elected official is the one complaining about aesthetics.
Crooked Cankles Wipe The Server Hillary.
She is the one who lit the middle east on fire with her Arab Spring. She is a crooked liar.
She leaked state secrets to the Russians and Chinese with her invalid-certificate email server. Wipe that with a cloth. And she tried to destroy evidence. She made lethal decisions as secretary of state. Her only "qualification" is she was philandering Bill's husband.
Jerry Zeifman on Hillary working on Watergate: “Because she was a liar,” Zeifman said in an interview last week. “She was an unethical, dishonest lawyer. She conspired to violate the Constitution, the rules of the House, the rules of the committee and the rules of confidentiality.”
Crooked Chappaqua Carpetbagger
Remember when Hillary dodged enemy bullets as she ran from her helicopter to her photo op?
Remember when Hillary assured the Egyptians that the Muslim Brotherhood would bring Egypt freedom and democracy?
Remember when, after her foundation received millions of dollars in contributions from Russia, Hillary approved the sale of rights to a big chunk of America's uranium to Russia? Remember when Hillary excused Assad's murder of the Syrian people, calling Assad "a reformer"?
Remember how Hillary completely forgot the women's rights of Monica Lewinsky, and Bill's other victims? Remember that Hillary has received millions of dollars for speeches to Wall Street banks, who she claims that she will "fight", that she won't disclose?
Remember that Hillary's foundation has received millions of dollars in contributions from Saudi Arabia, which then escaped criticism by the US Government for its abuse of women?
Have you ever tried to walk across River St, even in an alleged safety zone between 8 AM and 6 PM?
It is nice to see the misinformation and incomplete stories still remain a mainstay at lulac.
The project is not complete...

IN RESPONSE
You just might be the only one who thought that.
I agree with him though, it takes away from the beauty of what millions were spent on to showcase.

IN RESPONSE
If this her exaggeration, stack that up to Trump's.
Remember when Hillary assured the Egyptians that the Muslim Brotherhood would bring Egypt freedom and democracy?
IN RESPONSE
So one person is responsible for the way Egypt got out of control? Her Foreign Policy? Didn't she have a boss?
Remember how Hillary completely forgot the women's rights of Monica Lewinsky, and Bill's other victims? Remember that Hillary has received millions of dollars for speeches to Wall Street banks, who she claims that she will "fight", that she won't disclose?
IN RESPONSE
Yeah and she has put them on notice that she will not tolerate that stuff.
So she gives a speech to Wall Street, do you realize that Wall Street is you and me? If you have a 401K, that's Wall Street.
Remember that Hillary's foundation has received millions of dollars in contributions from Saudi Arabia, which then escaped criticism by the US Government for its abuse of women?
IN RESPONSE
Hillary has fought for human rights for all sexes, both men and women. If by the U.S. government, you mean Congress too, throw a stone at that house. Or House and Senate.
Dave,
Hilary's lies about being under fire are a slap in the face to any military member who has been wounded or killed in combat. Then again, she loathes the military so for her it I am sure the death of a soldier, sailor, airmen or marine makes little difference to her.

Forgot about that one. Look politicians exaggerate, but to say she is anti veteran is not true, after all she was not the Secretary of State who sent men into battle in Iraq without body armor.
Remember when the families had to have hoagie sales to raise money for their sons?
just because Bush was bad doesn't make her good. why is it either or with bloggers and political hacks. trying to bolster your candidate by running down one who wasn't any better is silly. Bush was not good to or for the military and neither was Bill Clinton. Hilary has made her disdain for the US Armed Forces known time and again.
It isn't about Dem or Rep, it is about respect for those who serve and Hilary has none.
WTF are you people whining about with the medians in WB. Just drove down River St and there is some type of brick face covering some off them, and they look fantastic.
As far as traffic flow, PenDot, and it pains me to say this, may have gotten it right. There was a lot of traffic, but it was moving at a steady pace and I didn't feel as if I were drag racing down River.
