MANAFORT IN THE KLINK…..
BANNON ON THE LOOSE!!!!

Paul Manafort was incarcerated  on Friday for Jury Tampering. Even when on bail, facing serious charges, Donald Trump’s campaign manager was jailed by the Judge in his case. She said she had no choice.
Meanwhile, Trump campaign strategist Steve Bannon was on “This Week” yesterday saying that Trump needs to be a factor in the 2018 election. Bannon posited that a straight up and down vote on Trump would give the President a resounding win in the fall.

SESSIONS COMES TO TOWN AND DEFENDS CAGING KIDS

The Attorney General, Jeff Sessions stopped by Lackawanna College the other day and defended the Trump administration practice and policy of separating children from their parents who  are seeking asylum. The diminutive little sack of manure also said that Pennsylvania has nearly 200,000 illegals right here. He never elaborated where they were or what he has done.
The administration has now resorted to quoting the Bible saying it was justified to do this. When will Evangelical historians figure out whether this bargain they made with devils is worth it?
Even Press Secretary Sarah Sanders quoting scripture was relevant because "This was the law" Uh, no it isn't!!! while weakly defending the policy.
When you have to resort to scripture to justify a secular policy, you look not only foolish but show no respect for religion.
Once more some Christians have made my point for me. I classify myself as a Roman Catholic because I'll be dipped if I will be associated  with these clowns.To be fair, Christian leaders like Franklin Graham and others have spoken about the immorality of separating children from their parents. But one day, Christian leadership in this country will have to decide whether one seat on the Supreme Court was worth all this non Christian behavior.
BTW, kudos to the protesters who stood up for humanity against little bigot Sessions the other day.

PA RACES AT A GLANCE

Our friends at Franklin & Marshall, Drs Terry Madonna and Michael Young released their earliest poll on the General Election. The numbers are early but it appears to be good news for Governor Tom Wolf and Senator Bob Casey.
Democrat Tom Wolf leads Republican Scott Wagner 48% to 29% in the governor’s contest among registered voters with 23% indicating they are undecided.
Democrat Bob Casey leads Republican Lou Barletta in the U.S. Senate contest 44% to 27% with 28% indicating they are undecided.
The two major races are filled with undecided voters who aren’t familiar with the GOP ticket of Wagner for Governor and Lou Barletta.
The money machines will ramp up toward the end of the summer but fo now it appears the Democrats have the edge.
Plus let us never forget that we here in The Lu are in a Trump-Barletta bubble. The rest of the state may not follow our lead.

I.G. REPORT ELECTS TRUMP

The bottom line about the IG Report is this: Jim Comey dropped a bomb about Clinton e mails and gave credence to the fact that there was something illegal going on. That’s it! Whatever the Trump apologists say, this was the thing that got Trump to the finish line.
Trump people seized on a text between two FBI personnel and ignored the rest.

PENNSYLVANIA COALITION OF TAXPAYER ASSOCIATIONS ANNOUNCES
PENNSYLVANIA STATE SENATE ENDORSEMENT
The Pennsylvania Coalition of Taxpayer Associations (PCTA), a statewide grassroots education finance reform alliance, today announced its endorsement of Frank Scavo for Pennsylvania Senate District 22 in the November 6 general election.
In making its endorsement, the PCTA noted Mr. Scavo’s unequivocal support of Senate Bill 76, the Property Tax Independence Act, legislation that will abolish and equitably replace school property taxes and restructure a crumbling, antiquated education finance system.
David Baldinger, spokesperson for the PCTA, said: “For thirty years the homeowners of Pennsylvania have been deceived time and again by phony, unsound property tax relief schemes and false promises of property tax reform. Mr. Scavo has taken a definitive stance on this vital issue with his pledge to champion the passage of legislation supported by the PCTA that will at last give legitimate, sustainable relief to the beleaguered homeowners of Pennsylvania through total school property tax elimination. Unlike the District 22 incumbent who
strenuously opposes the Property Tax Independence Act, who works against its passage, and who callously disregards the hardships of overtaxed homeowners, Mr. Scavo is firmly committed to the will of the people as expressed in Senate Bill 76, legislation that will forever abolish and replace the onerous school property tax and will finally give legitimate, sustainable relief to beleaguered families. The Pennsylvania Coalition of Taxpayer Associations wishes Mr. Scavo much success in his bid for the District 22 Senate seat.
The PCTA is an alliance of eighty-six grassroots taxpayer advocacy groups from across Pennsylvania that is dedicated to equitable education funding reform through the principles and mechanism of the Property Tax Independence Act.

Hat tip to Paul Manafort! You gave Special Counsel Mueller--who can't otherwise defend his work--the chance to show that although it will take time to get all of this out into the open, there's plenty of "there" there. If Manafort declines to flip, which certainly is his right, that will give Mueller's people the chance to kick his corrupt ass at the trials in June and Sept. The public will get a chance to see what an evidence-based discussion looks like. In the meantime, Manafort can "lobby" the other prisoners concerning which channel their TV will be on. Couldn't have happened to a nicer group of offenders!
