WHERE’S DAVE? 

Dave McCormick was elected a United States Senator on November 5^th. A few days later he went down to D.C. for orientation. He was sworn in as a United States Senator on January 3^rd.

That was

59

days to get his house in order. Hiring staff, office space, etc. Even though he’s a rich guy, your tax dollars PAY for it.

From January 3^rd to February 7, there was no activity in his Scranton office.

That was

35

days  All told, Dave “Connecticut Yankee” McCormick did virtually nothing for Scranton (Lackawanna County) for a total of

94

days

 

3

MONTHS

McCormick has shown disdain for the trust people put him in. His predecessor Robert Casey worked hard for his constituents, Casey was voted out by an ignorant and entitled public who wanted change. Change, well they couldn’t quite define it. Soke talked about term limits. “If they’re in that long, THEY NEED TO GO”. “If they’re in that long, THEY DO NOTHING”. And my personal favorite is “I don’t like him”.

Well, you got what you asked for.

1.   An empty suit who doesn’t even have the management skills to even set up an office.

2.   A rich guy who bought his office with false ads, lies and in any other world, slander of a good man.

3.   A fake who grew up in the state but lives in a mansion in Connecticut while the people in their modest homes in the Hill Section live paycheck to paycheck.

4.   A guy who has marched in high gestapo march steps putting his imprimatur on Trump’s dubious picks for the bobbing head cabinet.

5.   A guy who dithered for 94 days to get a simple job done.

6.   A guy who will pick the rich over us others.

7.   A guy WHO LOCKED YOU out of his office.

8.   A guy whose………….well just plain lazy.

Good job voters of the keystone state. You gave us a guy who has already disrespected the office and you. 

 

THE POPE SCHOOLS THE HILL BILLY

J.D. Vance, looking for some form of legitimacy has taken on the Pope and Christian teachings.  Vance, a Catholic should know better.  Vance accused the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops of resettling immigrants to receive federal funding, New York Cardinal Timothy Dolan called the vice president's remarks "scurrilous" and "nasty."

Dolan, who in the campaign seemingly embraced Trump at the Al Smith Dinner finally found his voice.

"You want to come look at our audits, which are scrupulously done? You think we make money caring for the immigrants? We're losing it hand over fist … we're not in a money-making business," Dolan said.

Pope Francis criticized the Trump administration's stance on migrants, calling the president's pledge of mass deportations "a major crisis."

In a strongly worded letter to the U.S. Catholic bishops, Francis wrote that it's important for Catholics to disagree with any measure that identifies the illegal status of some migrants with criminality.

Francis also said that deporting people — who in many cases have left their own land for reasons of extreme poverty, exploitation and persecution — "damages the dignity of many men and women, and of entire families, and places them in a state of particular vulnerability and defenselessness."

The letter also appears to reply to remarks by Vice President Vance in which he said people should care for their family, communities and country before caring for others.

Francis instead wrote that people should meditate on love that builds a fraternity open to all, without exception.

"Christian love is not a concentric expansion of interests that little by little extend to other persons and groups," the pope writes.
