Stronghold or Stranglehold?

Well Happy New Year to the few who read this Blog anymore. A lot of things have changed over the years since I first started this blog. The biggest shocker of 2019 was the take over of Delaware County by the Democratic Party, or I should say "Delco Dems".

From the Judges of the Superior Court, the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas, County Council, The District Attorney's office, Most of the Magisterial District Judge positions, and the Upper Darby School Board, Democrats were ALL voted in.

This is from what I hear the first time since the Civil War that Dems controlled Delaware County. A lot of people I see and hear have varied opinions for this. The current situation involving the President, Minorities moving in to the area from Philly, even George Soro's intervention by donating over a million bucks to the Party.

One thing is clear at least from my standpoint. Our new Mayor here in Upper Darby, Barbarann Keffer, has had a pitiful record of managing a small borough of Milbourne, to the point of being fired. She, as a council member, didn't contribute much. There is her questionable allegiance to Margo Davidson. I'm really hoping that these newly elected officials keep their "Promises" and are open and transparent. Only time will tell. Enough said. For now.

Cheers.

North Philly and the M.O.V.E. Debacle

I remember back in 1985 when I was just coming home from work. IO had called my then girlfriend Bernadette and asked Her what the hell was going on in West Philly, all the helicopters and police as I was detoured while heading home.

I turned on the TV and saw a live view of a State Police Helicopter circling over the park down the street, as my house was on the Upper Darby side of Cobbs Creek. Then BOOM! The windows rattled and a shock wave came up the street.

Needless to say the rest of the day and night went into history, one that I witnessed first hand from only about 200 yards away at St. Demetrios Church, on Powell Lane.

what's going on now up in the "Nicetown" section of Philly just reminded me of that deadly day. Prayers for the six Philly Cops who were shot today.
