SEE HENRY-PASHINSKI DEBATE HERE NOW!!!

Thanks to our good friend Scott Cannon for providing the You Tube link for the Forum held Tuesday night at The Jewish Community Center in Wilkes Barre.  Here's where you can find him and then enjoy that forum, which frankly seemed more like a debate to me.

SCAVO CLEANS BLAKE'S CLOCK

22nd District  candidate for Senator Frank Scavo cleaned Property Tax opponent John Blake's clock  the other night in a debate. The Times Tribune gave it page 9 treatment. Hey, it's their right but Scavo took it to Blake on Property Tax Limitation as well as why Blake cast the deciding vote along with killing it.
It is beyond me why anyone living in the Scranton School District would pull a lever for Blake, a Mellow lackey  who doesn't seem to understand that Property Taxes go to fund corruption in The Scranton School District!

BOMBS TARGETED AT DEMOCRATS

You all know the story about how Democratic officials were the targets of pipe bombs in the mail. Years ago there would have been shock, anger and outrage by both parties. But even the threat of KILLING members of an opposition group seems to have been shrugged off by some. A few observations.
1. Trump's words are pretty hollow given the fact that he never even (as of this edition) had the decency to call up or meet with those who were threatened.
2. The woman who incited the crowd in Wisconsin should be ashamed of herself. But the GOP will bring up Maxine Waters and everyone else to deflect criticism of this one whose name isn't even worthy of anyone's mention.
3. The President himself smirked when his denizens started to scream "Lock Her Up:. Funny, the guy who said that on the campaign trail, a General plead guilty, right? .
4. The dangerous part and threat to America is not from Trump but his blind supporters who have become willing co-conspirators to the person who built the bombs and sent them. The words "hoax", "gee the package doesn't look right, looks phony" are words of people who will tell any lie, believe any untruth and spout any nonsense to bolster their argument.
Who would dream that the Veterans of WWII who fought for Democracy would see the same thing they gave life and limb for in their country by their children and grand children.
The bombs were real, the threats were real. The only thing "fake" about them was the reaction of some sorry assed individuals who know should know better.

ARE WE A BANANA  REPUBLIC? 

Almost there under this guy.

1. Demonizing the media.
2. Saying every report is fake.
3. Threatening reporters and taunting them in huge crowds. It even happened locally last year where media personal had to leave a side door because of the thuggish behavior of some.
WE are on our way. And when we get there and when the rights of those cheering this behavior are stamped out, let them find comfort in the hate they sowed.

LIMBAUGH NEVER DISAPPOINTS

Rush Limbaugh is still broadcasting his bullshit. Said the plots designed by Democrats on Wednesday. Then this morning he says he wants to protect the safety of Democrats by voting them out of office.
This deaf, dumb and blind doofus said this about Biden, the Clintons, Eric Holder and President Obama. All NOT in office.
FOOL! 

WAGNER CAMPAIGN RELEASES NEW TELEVISION AD: “AUCTIONEER”

SPOT CONTRASTS HOME FORECLOSURES UNDER WOLF WITH SCHOOL TAX ELIMINATION UNDER WAGNER

The Wagner for Governor campaign continued its final television advertising blitz by releasing a new commercial that makes clear the difference between Scott Wagner and Tom Wolf on taxes. The 30 second spot contrasts Wolf’s desire to increase taxes with Wagner’s commitment to cutting them.
“The decision facing voters on November 6th is very simple,” said Campaign Manager Jason High. “If Pennsylvanians want a governor who will try to impose record tax increases and who will refuse to eliminate school property taxes then they should give Tom Wolf four more years. But if they want a Governor who will lower taxes on employers and eliminate school property taxes then Scott Wagner is the only choice in this race.”
Earlier this week Wagner placed a television ad buy of over $750,000 on three spots illustrating how he will lower taxes and health care costs.
