Some of you know that a few years ago I started a sister blog called The Morning Chronicle. I have decided to rebrand it as Rainy Morning Chronicle, and apply more focus to it. This is not to say that all is well in Allentown. While I'm giving Mayor O'Connell a breather to start reforming Allentown City Hall, the park department will continue to suffer my scrutiny. I consider the endless weed wall along our park streams unacceptable, and have told the park director as much. She is in reality under the thumb of the Wildlands Conservancy, and its front called the Greenway Trail. In certain areas, such as South Whitehall, the Wildlands is directly in charge of the project. The Wildlands Conservancy has been degrading Allentown's iconic park system for over a decade. Although they are a local sacred cow, I will endeavor to regain some stream bank areas for the citizens of Allentown to again enjoy.
Meanwhile, Rainy Morning will emphasize a conservative point of view from a nonpartisan prospective. I appreciate your readership.

ReplyDeleteI found an excellent article in ZeroHedge today: The Modern Civil War Is Being Fought Without Guns... So Far!
ReplyDeleteHow do civil wars happen?
Two or more sides disagree on who runs the country. And they can’t settle the question through elections because they don’t even agree that elections are how you decide who’s in charge. That’s the basic issue here. Who decides who runs the country? When you hate each other but accept the election results, you have a country. When you stop accepting election results, you have a countdown to a civil war.
The Mueller investigation is about removing President Trump from office and overturning the results of an election. We all know that. But it’s not the first time they’ve done this. The first time a Republican president was elected this century, they said he didn’t really win. The Supreme Court gave him the election. There’s a pattern here.
What do sure odds of the Democrats rejecting the next Republican president really mean? It means they don’t accept the results of any election that they don’t win. It means they don’t believe that transfers of power in this country are determined by elections.
That’s a civil war.
There’s no shooting. At least not unless you count the attempt to kill a bunch of Republicans at a charity baseball game practice. But the Democrats have rejected our system of government.
This isn’t dissent. It’s not disagreement. You can hate the other party. You can think they’re the worst thing that ever happened to the country. But then you work harder to win the next election. When you consistently reject the results of elections that you don’t win, what you want is a dictatorship.
Your very own dictatorship.......
Donald Trump has caused the Shadow Government to come out of hiding: Professional government is a guild. Like medieval guilds. You can’t serve in if you’re not a member. If you haven’t been indoctrinated into its arcane rituals. If you aren’t in the club. And Trump isn’t in the club. He brought in a bunch of people who aren’t in the club with him.
Now we’re seeing what the pros do when amateurs try to walk in on them. They spy on them, they investigate them and they send them to jail. They use the tools of power to bring them down.
That’s not a free country.

Civil War? Deep State? I’d say you wasted 10 minutes of your life. Please.
ReplyDelete"I consider the endless weed wall along our park streams unacceptable"
ReplyDeleteSo do I. The excuse for it is a complete false fabrication since All of the water from the streets along Cedar Creek by the Rose Garden enters the creek through storm sewers. Same is true with Trout Creek. To a lesser extent, Trexler Park and the Lehigh Parkway because in those parks the paved road/ trail does not go into a storm drain. The city SWEEP program should issue the Parks Department a citation. If any homeowner in the city would allow the weeds to be as high as they are they would get cited.
pathfinder@7:54, actually the entire neighborhood above Lehigh Parkway, Little Lehigh Manor, is piped directly into the Little Lehigh just west of Robin Hood Bridge.
