Herschel Walker obviously lives in Texas & uses his former wife's address to run in Georgia. Local officials not living where they claim to isn't obvious. In Pennsylvania removing a public official that doesn't live where he's says is a long & costly slog.

Maybe the most important sentences in my posts are these:

Clark was not on the ticket but ran an extensive and expensive write in campaign. He got very few votes. But that is not the issue. I believe there are several people holding or that have held public offices in Coatesville that do not live here. No one challenges them because they understand the possibility of winning in court is almost non-existent. I believe that there are many people holding public offices all across Chester County that do not live where they claim to live. 

Joe Carroll’s action could set a president for future efforts to remove persons that are allegedly illegally holding office. I believe that every instance of claiming to live where you do not is an instance of public corruption.* It is very hard to set a price on that kind of public corruption but I believe the cost to the public is in the millions of dollars.

* A man lived near West Chester, PA with his family & owned property in Coatesville PA. He served on commissions & redevelopment authority. He didn't live here but served the City of Coatesville well.

"When he launched his campaign for U.S. Senate in Georgia, Herschel Walker claimed his deep roots in the state didn’t end with his days as a football legend at the University of Georgia.

It was widely known at the time that the Republican hopeful had been living in Texas for decades, though he has claimed to maintain a residence in Atlanta for “17 years.” Less widely known, however, was that Walker’s wife collected tens of thousands of dollars in rental income for that residence, according to his 2021 financial disclosure forms.

The house doubled as the Walker campaign’s first official address when he launched his bid in August 2021. Fulton County tax and property records show the home is solely owned by Walker’s wife, Julie Blanchard, who also collected rental income from 2020 and 2021 ranging from $15,000 to $50,000, according to the disclosure—defining the asset as “Georgia residence.”

Blanchard’s company also received a previously unreported $49,997 in COVID relief loans over that same period, at Walker’s Texas address, according to federal data. On one since-revised financial disclosure, Walker claimed the company had generated rental income for Blanchard, suggesting the company had an operational stake in the Atlanta property."

Today I received this comment:

"Anonymous said... 
Jim,
Next time you are talking to Joe Carroll...could you ask him how much this case is costing the taxpayers?

I find it hard to believe that it takes this long to determine residency. It seems that it should be easy to ascertain. Does he meet the residency requirement or not?

Should we really have expected Mr. Dilibero or Voters Services to do over a years worth of research and study case law to find a case from the 1950's to cite, that say's a man's residency is determined by his wife's. Are they asking us to believe that married people cannot live apart? I surely hope not!

So while you are at it, ask Joe why this is taking so long!"

My answer:

Unless the person involved acquiesces, it is a near impossibility to successfully challenge residency for political purposes. 

One example is the residency of James Clark. He ran and possibly still is running for District Justice in Coatesville’s District Court 15-1-03. The residency requirements for Coatesville’s District Court 15-1-03 is in part of Coatesville and South Coatesville. Mr. Clark lives in Thorndale. In a court document in Chester County President Judge Ott’s court Clark gives his address as 3401 Sylvan Dr., Thorndale, PA 19372. He claims a rental property in Coatesville as his address. 

Below are my notes from a hearing in Judge Ott’s courtroom on Friday April 20, 2009:

“I thought that Democratic Attorney John Carnes presented overwhelming evidence including several court documents and Clark’s drivers license that Magistrate Judge candidate James Clark lives in Thorndale. Clark had two relatives that claimed he lived at the address in Coatesville’s Second Ward that he listed on his petition. Clark said that even though a court document from October has Thorndale as his residence and driver’s license residence as Thorndale, he lives in Coatesville. 

I understood Clark to have said that his driver’s license and his court documents residence is really his business address and his real residence is in Coatesville. Hmmm.  

Even at the place he said he lives in Coatesville, he was only there a few months. State Law says that candidates for Magistrate Judge needs to reside at least a year at the residence on the ballot. The proceedings concerning James Clark were a little confusing to me but I believe that one of Clark’s relatives who is a Republican collected most of his signatures on both Republican and Democratic sides. Clark might not be on the ticket for multiple reasons. 

I wondered why Andrew Lehr was sitting right in front of me in the first spectator row. I found out when Lehr conferred with Clark and a woman named as his daughter, Shania London in the hallway. Is Clark a spoiler to Greg Hines? Lehr left when Clarks hearing was over.” 

 

See Clark’s court document here:

Clark was not on the ticket but ran an extensive and expensive write in campaign. He got very few votes. But that is not the issue. I believe there are several people holding or that have held public offices in Coatesville that do not live here. No one challenges them because they understand the possibility of winning in court is almost non-existent.

The Biden administration is rolling out a new strategy to counter domestic terrorism. One of the initiative's top aims is to confront racism and bigotry -- long the primary drivers of homegrown extremism. Award-winning historian and author Kathleen Belew, a professor at the University of Chicago, speaks with Michel Martin about violence and militarization in American society and how to combat it:

Evangelical Leaders across the country are suddenly turning on Trump and stating that they feel that they were used by Trump. Meidas Contributor Francis Maxwell Reacts:

“The Oath Keepers’ compulsive chatter about “civil war” did not represent the “ranting and raving of old men at a barber shop,” but the “real” and “sincere” planning of extremists committed to stopping the lawful transfer of power, a prosecutor told jurors during the seditious conspiracy trial’s closing  arguments.

Quoting liberally from the messages of Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes and his four accused co-conspirators, Assistant U.S. Attorney Kathryn Rakoczy opened her closing arguments with their leader’s words on Nov. 5, 2020, merely two days after Election Day.

“We are not getting through this without a civil war,” Rhodes wrote. “Prepare your mind body and spirit.”

Major media outlets had not yet called President Joe Biden’s victory and wouldn’t do so for two more days. The thoughts of Oath Keeper Kelly Meggs, who would ultimately become the Florida chapter leader, turned to violence even earlier.

“I’m gonna go on a killing spree,” wrote Oath Keepers Florida chapter leader Kelly Meggs on the evening of Election Day itself. “Pelosi first.”

Throughout U.S. history, there have been bitterly contested elections, but they typically end with the loser respecting the peaceful transfer of power. That’s not what the Oath Keepers did, the prosecutor noted.

The day that it became clear the Donald Trump lost reelection on Nov. 7, 2020, Rhodes started talking to his Oath Keepers about the “Serbian plan,” a model that included storming the seat of government. Throughout the trial, prosecutors outlined the plan with internal communications from the Oath Keepers from the encrypted app Signal, the video app GoToMeeting, the walkie-talkie app Zello, and reams of heated social media communications.

One of the men privy to the GoToMeeting huddles was government witness Abdullah Rasheed, who said what he heard alarmed him.

“It sounded like we were going to war with — we were going to overthrow the United States government and start shooting everybody,” Rasheed said, adding that this made him hit record.

Other Oath Keepers members weren’t terrified; they were amped up, the prosecutor noted.

“This is the moment we’ve been waiting for,” Oath Keeper Jessica Watkins wrote…

Another defendant, Kenneth Harrelson, deleted most of the messages from his phone.

Oath Keepers associate Thomas Caldwell allegedly helped lead so-called quick reaction force, which gathered at a Comfort Inn in Alexandria, Va., with large numbers of firearms. Prosecutors say that the QRF, as it was known, planned to ferry those weapons by boat over the Potomac River if necessary, and that Caldwell’s own messages quoting Henry Wadsworth Longfellow reflect this.

“1 if by land,” Meggs wrote in the groups Signal channel, quoting Longfellow’s 1861 poem Paul Revere’s Ride. “2 if by sea...”

Indeed, on Jan. 6th itself, Rhodes wrote a message that he believed the breach of the Capitol was only a step: “They didn’t fire on them, but they street fought. That’s were we are now. Next comes our ‘Lexington.'”

Unpacking that quotation, the prosecutor noted that it suggested that Rhodes didn’t view Jan. 6th as the opening shot of the revolution — but a step toward it.

This is a developing story.

Oath Keepers Trial: Feds Note Civil War Chatter in Closings

CLUB Q SHOOTING I'm 79. I look at obituaries first when trying to contact old friends. "when something happens, it’s like the polite thing to do is to make sure my friend isn’t dead.” Only idiots can't see the connections to 1938.

Only idiots can't see the connections to 1938:

 

"Already this year, armed protesters and right-wing groups such as the Proud Boys have used intimidating tactics to disrupt drag-related events in Texas, Nevada and Oregon, as well as other states. Children’s hospitals across the United States are facing growing threats of violence, including bomb threats, driven by an online anti-LGBTQ campaign attacking the facilities for providing care to transgender kids and teens. And in October, a man attacked a transgender librarian in Idaho before yelling homophobic slurs and attempting to hit two women with his car. Idaho is one of 18 states that does not have hate crime protections for LGBTQ people, though many local law enforcement agencies still track those crimes."

"Later, at a vigil for the victims at All Souls Unitarian Universalist Church, Taylor Oliver, 29, one of the attendees said, “These tragedies are causing people in the LGBT community to develop a habit of checking in on their friends. There’s almost an etiquette to checking in with your friends. Every single one of my friends, in other countries too, when something happens, it’s like the polite thing to do is to make sure my friend isn’t dead.”

Jessie Entwistle, of Colorado Springs, who was also at the vigil said he was in Orlando not long after the 2016 massacre at the Pulse night club, “so this all feels very familiar in a really sad way.”

“It feels like, ‘When is it going to happen to me?’ As opposed to thinking, ‘This kind of thing will never touch me.’ ”

On May 4, 1938, the day Hitler visits Mussolini in Rome, Antonietta, a naïve, sentimental and overworked homemaker, stays home doing her usual domestic tasks, while her fascisthusband, Emanuele, and their six spoiled children take to the streets to follow a parade. The building is empty, except for the caretaker and a neighbor across the complex, a charming man named Gabriele. He is a radio broadcaster who has been dismissed from his job and is about to be deported to Sardiniabecause of his homosexuality and alleged anti-fascist stance. After the family's myna escapes from their apartment and flies outside Gabriele's window, Antonietta shows up at his door, asking to be let in to reach the bird. Gabriele has been interrupted from attempting suicide, but helps rescue the myna by offering it food, and is amused by the episode. Antonietta is surprised by his demeanor and, unaware of his sexual orientation, flirts and dances the rumbawith him.

Despite their differences, they warm to each other. The caretaker warns Antonietta that Gabriele is an anti-fascist, which Antonietta finds despicable. Gabriele eventually opens up, confessing he was fired because he is a homosexual. Antonietta confides in him her troubles with her arrogant and unfaithful husband; who, she says, has shown a preference for an educated woman. Throughout their interaction and conversation, each realize that the other is oppressed by social and governmental conditioning and come to form a new impression than the one they first drew from one another. As a result, they have sex, but for different reasons. Gabriele explains that this changes nothing; as does Antonietta. (However, later, when her son reminds his mother of all the newspaper clippings she will have from the parade for her album collection, Antonietta's face reveals a look of slight indifference.) Soon after their intimate encounter, Antonietta's family comes back home and Gabriele is arrested. At the end, Antonietta sits near the window and starts reading a book Gabriele has given to her (The Three Musketeers). She watches as her lover leaves the complex, escorted by fascist policemen, before turning off the light and retiring to bed: Her husband is waiting there for her in order to beget their seventh child, whom he wants to name Adolfo.

U.S. Government Quietly Declassifies Post-9/11 Interview With Bush and Cheney & FORESIGHT-AND HINDSIGHT National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States

 "Blair allegedly told Bush that if the president had said “before 9/11 that he wanted to put forces in Afghanistan, he — Blair — would have been floored. ‘I would have looked at you like a nut,’ Blair said. There was an appetite for a ‘throat slit’ (killing Bin Ladin), not a war footing.” With no apparent sense of the lethal irony present, Bush told the commissioners, “A president can’t force preemptive war without a cause. The country didn’t like war. ‘I don’t like it either,’ the President said.”

"Considering what was not done suggests possible ways to institutionalize imagination. To return to the four elements of analysis just mentioned:

1. The CTC did not analyze how an aircraft, hijacked or explosives-laden, might be used as a weapon. It did not perform this kind of analysis from the enemy's perspective ("red team" analysis), even though suicide terrorism had become a principal tactic of Middle Eastern terrorists. If it had done so, we believe such an analysis would soon have spotlighted a critical constraint for the terrorists-finding a suicide operative able to fly large jet aircraft.They had never done so before 9/11.
2. The CTC did not develop a set of telltale indicators for this method of attack. For example, one such indicator might be the discovery of possible terrorists pursuing flight training to fly large jet aircraft, or seeking to buy advanced flight simulators.
3. The CTC did not propose, and the intelligence community collection management process did not set, requirements to monitor such telltale indicators.Therefore the warning system was not looking for information such as the July 2001 FBI report of potential terrorist interest in various kinds of aircraft training in Arizona, or the August 2001 arrest of Zacarias Moussaoui because of his suspicious behavior in a Minnesota flight school. In late August, the Moussaoui arrest was briefed to the DCI and other top CIA officials under the heading "Islamic Extremist Learns to Fly."24 Because the system was not tuned to comprehend the potential significance of this information, the news had no effect on warning.
4. Neither the intelligence community nor aviation security experts analyzed systemic defenses within an aircraft or against terrorist-controlled aircraft, suicidal or otherwise. The many threat reports mentioning aircraft were passed to the FAA.While that agency continued to react to specific, credible threats, it did not try to perform the broader warning functions we describe here. No one in the government was taking on that role for domestic vulnerabilities.

   Richard Clarke told us that he was concerned about the danger posed by aircraft in the context of protecting the Atlanta Olympics of 1996, the White House complex, and the 2001 G-8 summit in Genoa. But he attributed his awareness more to Tom Clancy novels than to warnings from the intelligence community. He did not, or could not, press the government to work on the systemic issues of how to strengthen the layered security defenses to protect aircraft against hijackings or put the adequacy of air defenses against suicide hijackers on the national policy agenda.

The methods for detecting and then warning of surprise attack that the U.S. government had so painstakingly developed in the decades after Pearl Harbor did not fail; instead, they were not really tried. They were not employed to analyze the enemy that, as the twentieth century closed, was most likely to launch a surprise attack directly against the United States."

Republican bitch fight will be more fun than Democratic House! MTG vs moderate R Don Bacon willing to work with Democrats to elect a moderate Republican for the top post.

 “Moderate GOP Rep. Don Bacon of Nebraska told NBC News on Monday night that if the GOP Conference can't agree on electing McCarthy or any other Republican as speaker on the House floor, then he would be willing to work with Democrats to elect a moderate Republican for the top post.

"I will support Kevin McCarthy, but if we do get to that point, I do want the country to work and we need to govern. We can't sit neutral; we can't have total gridlock for two years," Bacon said in an interview just off the House floor…

Later on Bannon’s “War Room,” Gaetz mocked Greene — one of his closest friends and allies — for trusting McCarthy. Gaetz referred to a conspiracy theory Greene previously promoted that blamed wildfires in California on Jewish space lasers.

“Whatever Kevin has promised Marjorie Taylor Greene, I guarantee you this: At the first opportunity, he will zap her faster than you can say Jewish space laser,” Gaetz said.

Conservatives warn McCarthy: You don't have the votes for speaker

Rep. Kevin McCarthy is expected to secure the GOP nomination for speaker in Tuesday's leadership elections, but conservatives say he can't get the votes needed on the House floor without their help.

Nov. 14, 2022, 8:13 PM EST / Updated Nov. 14, 2022, 10:07 PM EST

When he ran for the PA 6th Congressional District in 1996 & 2010 Pat Sellers of Coatesville PA had essentially the same Libertarian Party platform of David Koch in 1980. Senator Scott & Kevin McCarthy brought Koch’s platform back.

The Libertarian dreams of Charles Koch nearly came to being fulfilled with the “Red Wave” that was to put Republicans in control of the House & Senate

 "The Libertarian Party platform on which Koch ran in 1980 was unambiguous. It included the following:

• We favor the abolition of Medicare and Medicaid programs.
• We oppose any compulsory insurance or tax-supported plan to provide health services. . . . 
• We favor the repeal of the . . . Social Security system. . . .
• We oppose all personal and corporate income taxation, including capital gains taxes. 
• We support the eventual repeal of all taxation. 
• As an interim measure, all criminal and civil sanctions against tax evasion should be terminated immediately.
• We support repeal of all . . . minimum wage laws. . . .
• Government ownership, operation, regulation, and subsidy of schools and colleges should be ended. . . .
• We support the abolition of the Environmental Protection Agency. . . .
• We call for the privatization of the public roads and national highway system. . . .
• We advocate the abolition of the Food and Drug Administration. . . .
• We oppose all government welfare, relief projects, and “aid to the poor” programs.44

The list went on from there, including ending government oversight of abusive banking practices by ending all usury laws; privatizing our airports, the FAA, Amtrak, and all of our rivers; and shutting down the Post Office. In a bone they threw to the white supremacist, white evangelical, and Catholic Christian movements, they also called for an end of all tax-supported abortions (although the Hyde Amendment had already banned this in 1976)…

You might remember Pat Sellers for his “Referendum” designed to protect the “Saha Farm” from eminent domain and as a rigorous campaigner for the infamous “Bloc of Four” Coatesville City Council. Pat Sellers allegedly has a connection to Larry Pratt.

Larry Pratt and Coatesville's Pat Sellers

Continued 

The Day the Music Died 

For years it worked like a charm, at least from the 1980s until around 2016. Even when Democrats did win elections, they had to eschew labels like “liberal” and take positions like Bill Clinton’s infamous “the era of big government is over,” as was “welfare as we know it.” President Barack Obama’s signature piece of legislation, the Affordable Care Act, added billions to the coffers of big insurance and drug companies and continued to legally prevent Americans who were under 65 (and not disabled) from accessing Medicare. 

And then, in 2015, a real estate mogul and reality TV star burst onto the scene, blowing up the carefully crafted Potemkin village that his fellow billionaires had built over two generations. 

The Republican Party was corrupt, Trump said, lying to get Americans into phony wars for political gain, cutting taxes on rich people like himself at the expense of the average guy, and fawning over phony war heroes like John McCain and low-energy hustlers like Jeb Bush and Rick Perry. The Democratic Party was rigged, too, Trump pointed out, sympathizing with Bernie Sanders, who had been almost entirely ignored by corporate media for nearly a year even as he was drawing crowds of 5,000 to 30,000 at nearly every stop. 

Trump talked about giving people the universal health care they’d been yearning for since the 1940s (when the GOP first shot down Harry Truman’s single-payer plan) and said he’d do so at a “lower cost” and with “better benefits” than either Obamacare or Medicare. Union jobs were going to flood back into the country. Billionaires were going to be crippled by higher Trump taxes—“I’ll take a huge hit,” he solemnly proclaimed. 

Most of the conservative billionaire class was horrified, and the Koch network (which holds a semiannual get-together for billionaires to raise hundreds of millions to spend on politics) declined to support Trump in 2016. But a few, among them Sheldon Adelson and Robert Mercer, threw in with Trump, and with a little help from oligarchs in Russia, Saudi Arabia, and Israel, Trump ended up in the White House. 

Within a year of Trump’s taking over the Oval Office, and the GOP taking over both the House and the Senate, Americans began to realize that the entire thing was just another Reaganesque scam. Trump was able to hold together his base mostly by using race-based fear tactics about invading brown hordes from south of the border. He kept Republicans generally on his side by threatening to support Republican primary challengers if they didn’t swear fealty.

But it wasn’t enough, and the professionals in the Republican Party knew it. They could see the wipeout of 2018 coming, and it scared them to their core. Demonizing unions and universal health care didn’t work anymore, because candidate Trump had called them both out as benefits. The 2017 tax cut was widely seen as a $1.5 trillion gift to the billionaire class, put on the credit card of the nation’s children and grandchildren. 

Even their fear tactics about black crime and invading Mexicans were backfiring, and the Supreme Court had had the gall to end the debate over gay marriage by simply legalizing it nationwide. 

There was only one serious path left: figure out a way to prevent the wrong people from voting or, if they voted, to make sure their votes weren’t counted. 

Voter suppression and election fraud became the principal method of ensuring electoral success, buttressed by hundreds of millions of dollars in TV advertising and sophisticated online influence operations."

The Libertarian dreams of Charles Koch nearly came to being fulfilled with the “Red Wave” that was to put Republicans in control of the House & Senate

McCarthy outed his plan to kill Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security if Republicans take the house. Senator Rick Scott plans to end Social Security and Medicare:

As I write this Democrats retained control of the Senate. Elections determining control of the House are not yet over. 

"Top House Republicans are being increasingly open about their plans to hold the debt limit hostage to force through their extreme plans to slash Medicare and Social Security.

In a new interview with Punchbowl News, Minority Leader McCarthy indicated his support for House Republicans’ increasingly open plotting to threaten a catastrophic economic meltdown in order to force wildly unpopular cuts to the bedrock of American seniors’ financial security.
