“Trump Makes GOP Senators TURN AGAINST HIM Real Quick” I was continuously frustrated by Democrats dancing around the truth instead of directly calling out Republicans.

 Ben Meiselas says that “from a messaging standpoint though I do want to call out  Democrats are process based saying ‘We think the ethics report of Matt Gaetz should be released. Indeed the ethics committee has thoroughly and meticulously engaged with witnesses and we think that would be most appropriate… 

Just say there’s a report that the Republicans are covering up that Trump’s AG could be a pedo. Like just say it. Why can’t you say the American people should not have a pedo as an AG. 

Right, it’s a pretty simple message it’s the truth. We all want to get out the truth but Democrats are still caught up, I think in over intellectualizing.  Just call it out we don’t want a pedo as our AG. Pretty simple to say that.“

I was continuously frustrated by local Democrats who danced around the truth instead of directly calling out Republicans.

 

I told my Uncle John Richard Legree was the chair of Area 14 of the Chester County Republican Committee. He said, “That can’t be. He’s a drug dealer.” Almost true. 

Democrats would say he was never a drug dealer (Not true). 

Richard  did a year & a few months in Graterford until the entire April 1976 “drug dealer sweep” of Chester County DA Bill Lamb crashed when his main witness was murdered while in protective custody of U.S. Marshals. 

2 PA state Bureau of Drug Control were charged with selling drugs. President Carter formed an FBI task force to investigate the Chester County FBI Office that would report only to him.

AND:

How Richard Legree went from " Biggest drug pusher in Chester County"to CCRC Area 14 Chair

“Daily Local News The Coatesville Side Bar” is more direct than me.

Democrats would say that Richard was very personable and they trusted him. Most Democrats from West Chester were conned by Richard. No Republican’s were conned by Richard. Seems that Republicans just didn’t care if Richard was involved in the drug business. 

Republicans I knew would say Richard IS involved in the drug business. 

His nephew Harvey Bitsy Legree robbed drug dealers. Richard Legree Jr, the son he claimed, sold crack in front of St. Cecilia’s School at 6th Avenue & Lincoln Hwy in an obvious manner. 

Richard transported prisoners as a Pennsylvania State Constable. He knew all the Magistrate Judges in Chester County. 

I saw him stand next to Coatesville Magistrate Judge Davis and whisper something in his ear. Judge Davis didn’t use a microphone. The young man who came in shackles thanked Judge Davis profusely. 

Prison time for drug dealers is expected and called ‘down time.’ I beleive Richard helped drug dealers to get a reduced sentence. He knew the court system in Chester County very well. 

Some drug dealers accumulate millions of dollars stored offshore. There could be a lot of money in reducing prison time. 

I was told by a DOJ intelligence agent that Richard went to every magistrate judge in Chester County looking for the arraignment of Richard Legree Jr. 

She said "I wish I could see the look on his face when he learned that Junior was arraigned in Federal Court."

Richard Jr. was arraigned at the Eastern District of Pennsylvania at 6th & Market St in Philadelphia.

Also Democrats whispered that then Chester County Sheriff Bunny Welsh was a kind of dangerous extremist. But never said that publicly.

Bunny Welsh was in the leadership of the Constitutional Sheriffs & Peace Officers Association (CSPOA).

“ CSPOA Board of Directors 

Sheriffs Dean Wilson CA, John D’Agostini CA, Jon Bruce CO, Brad Rogers IN, Chuck Korzenborn KY, Donnie Smith ME, Billy McGee MS, Christopher Conley NH, Tony Demeo NV, Glenn Palmer OR, Bunny Welsh PA, David Medlin TX, Mark Gower UT, County Commissioner Cornel Rasor, ID, Chief of Police Robert Douglas FL.”

Bunny Welsh, former Chester County Sheriff, set up a Republican table inside the vestibule at the school, and all voters had to pass through that vestibule and table en route to voting, said Wayne Braffman, with the Chester County Democratic Party.

“Putin has failed." We must prepare for the Kremlin’s collapse.” “The future belongs to democracies.” He has endured 2 attempted assassinations & given a 25 year prison sentence in Russia. He was released in a prisoner exchange. The striking optimism of Vladimir Kara-Murza is inspirational.

Some of the people Lana & Bernie Dishler brought from Russia & Ukraine became my friends. One was pursued by KGB. He jumped from the balcony of a 3 story restaurant into hedges below after he discovered the man he punched in the nose was a KGB officer. He told me he had to leave. He would die in a Russian prison. 

FROM:

Wednesday, September 11, 2024

Dr. Benard Dishler my Dentist in Elkins Park, PA traveled to Russia to bring back “Refuseniks” Russian Jews. He also brought Ukrainian Jews to the Philadelphia area.

Martin Luther King, Jr., reminded us that “the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.” 

Trump’s kakistocracy is a temporary kink in the arc of the moral universe. 

“Major political changes happen in Russia, with the snap of the fingers. Both the Tsarist regime at the beginning of the 20th Century and the Communist regime at the end of the 20th Century went down in 3 days literally speaking and nobody was prepared. That’s why so many mistakes were made. We cannot afford to repeat those mistakes. 

And so the next time there is a window of opportunity for democratic change that opens in Russia we have to be ready to seize it. 

We know that the future belongs to democracies. The future does not belong to corrupt dictatorial regimes such as the regime of Vladimir Putin. Nobody has ever been able to stop the course of history and Putin won’t be able to either.” - Vladimir Kara-Murza

Putin has already been destabilized by failing to seize all of Ukraine and the West must be prepared for the possibility of his regime collapsing, say Vladimir Kara-Murza and Bill Browder speaking to Kate Gerbeau on Frontline at the Magnitsky Human Rights Awards in London. 

“A longtime advocate for democracy, human rights and civil society in Russia, Kara-Murza was instrumental in the adoption of the Magnitsky Act, which sanctioned and froze the assets of Russian leaders complicit in human rights violations. He survived two assassination attempts by the Kremlin in 2015 and 2017 yet returned to the country to organize on behalf of Russian opposition movements like Open Russia.

His public denunciation of the Russian government’s acts of aggression amid the Russia-Ukraine war led him to face 25 years of imprisonment in a maximum security prison in Omsk, Siberia. He was released in August after a prisoner exchange deal negotiated by the United States and German governments, through which Russia released 16 prisoners. In exchange, Russia received eight prisoners…

Kara-Murza concluded by looking to Russia’s future.

“There will have to be a full and public reckoning by Russian society of the crimes committed by Putin’s regime,” Kara-Murza said, naming the war crimes committed by Putin’s regime in Ukraine, the assassination of Russian dissidents and the persecution of political prisoners.

Kara-Murza also outlined the responsibilities of the rest of the world, stating, “There will have to be a roadmap from the international community on how to assist a post-Putin Russia in their time of transition and how to reintegrate into a rules-based international order.”

“This is about the future,” Kara-Murza said. “There will be another chance for change in Russia.”

I have friends retired from the DOD & NIH who should qualify for Social Security benefits. They both worked in the private sector before public service. The “Social Security Fairness Act” to repeal the WEP & GPO passed the House.

 🚨 The U.S. House JUST voted to pass my bipartisan #SocialSecurityFairnessAct to repeal the WEP and the GPO.

I'm proud to help lead this effort to protect the retirement benefits earned by police officers, firefighters, federal employees, teachers, and other public servants

Our family has had the good fortune of a friendship with Norman Jones. 

We met Norman through another friend, John Hamilton. I met John running up and down Lemon Hill. We were going to join a rowing club. John got a bad back. The Fairmont Rowing Association was desperate for members and I began in a gig on the Schuylkill. John taught string instruments in the Philadelphia School District and played the viola professionally. Norman was a tenant at one of John’s rental homes. 

When Norm graduated from Drexel University, he fulfilled his army, ROTC at Fort Benning, Georgia. After his basic training, the army told him they had too many officers and he would need to enroll in the National Guard.

We got a call from Norman saying he needed a place to stay for a couple of weeks until he, his wife Mary and his daughter Suzi could find a home of their own. That two weeks stretched out into three months. We became very close friends during the three month period of living basically as one family.

Norm is a microwave engineer but he’s inclined to repairing automobiles and he helped me get my Saab 96 running smoothly. At a time when all cars used mechanical points to distribute a spark to each spark, plug norm help me install and electronic distributor. I remember Norm saying don’t touch the car you’ll be electrocuted when he briefly reversed the polarity of the battery, making the car body positive. The electronic distributor was successfully installed and my Saab 96 no longer stopped and needed new points.

Norm got a job working for Philco Ford and was enrolled in the Air Force National guard at Willow Grove, Naval Air Station. The Air Force Reserve had Cessna O-2s at Willow Grove Naval Air Station. Norm had command of the modified jeeps that carried the ground component of the forward air control. 

Betsy & me brought Suzi to the Air Station swimming pool. I played racquet ball at the Air Station court. I sometimes drove Norms car and the guards saluted me. Security was limited at the time. 

Norm was working at Philco Ford which designed radios that went into Ford vehicles. Norm designed a radio that would work well in their vehicles. Ford told him to modify them to make them less costly. Norm said the radios would only work for a few months if they were designed that way. Didn’t matter to Ford.

Norm said he couldn’t work for a company like that.

Norm began a long career designing satellite communications for the Department of Defense leading a small number of engineers in Reston, Virginia. 

Norm, divorced Mary and married Janet. Janet was a colonel at the NIH Clinical Center. 

He was concerned Janet could be kidnapped and used to gain information about Norm's work. Norm was away often at Palo Alto CA and Ramstein Air Force Base in Germany. He designed a complete hard wired security system for their Reston home. His computer recorded in detail every person that came near their home. 

Betsy, Julia, Jeff and me visited Norm and Janet at their home in Reston and were greeted by speaker on their security system as we walked to the front door. 

Desktop computers were a new thing in the early 1990s. Norm taught Jeff and Julia how to use them. This is his office in Norm & Janets home in Reston. 

In the photos below Norm is instructing Julia & Jeff on how to use computers. Norm is an excellent and very patient instructor. At the time the photos below were taken Norm could not tell us what he did for the DOD. 

The military satellite communications system his team in Reston designed is still in use. Norm placed a ground unit in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina. For a time it was the only communication system connecting New Orleans with the rest of the world. 

Over the years Norm's original designs were modified and used by Google Maps, Skype and other commercial systems. 

TRUMP’S UNPRECEDENTED POWER GRAB TO APPOINT FOR 2 YEARS JUDGES, AMBASSADORS, CABINET MEMBERS & OTHER FEDERAL OFFICERS WITHOUT SENATE CONFORMATION. MAKING TRUMP THE 2 YEAR DICTATOR OF THE USA. THEN STEPPING DOWN FOR A ZANCE 12 YEAR DICTATORSHIP.

“Trump's cheating and stealing have already begun -- he wants the MAGA Senators who bent the knee to him to agree to call an IMMEDIATE recess of the Senate as soon as it gets back into session on Jan 20 and allow him for 10+ days to just appoint for 2 years, whomever he wants to federal judgeships, ambassadors, cabinet members, and federal officers, without public scrutiny, a hearing or senate confirmation. Popok is  @ The Intersection to explain how Senate Democrats have the tools to stop this unprecedented power grab both under the Senate's rules and in federal court.”
