When I created this blog 6 years ago, I was going to call it “Montco Cassandra.” A love of Greek mythology was instilled in me by my sixth-grade teacher (RIP Mr. Murray) who spun tales for as part of social studies class. According to Ancient Origins.net: “Best-known for her prophetic powers, within Greek mythology Cassandra …

Step right up, step right up! Get your popcorn and cotton candy right here! Knock down three pins and win your girl a cupie doll! Sorry folks. I have to vent about something that has been bothering me for quite some time. Every day, Oaks residents are assaulted by the eyesore of what is supposed …

In spite of minimal media coverage, there has been a significant amount of grumbling on social media with regard to Montgomery County's recent Primary Election. A good deal of it is related to the new voting machines. But there is also a significant contingent of Republicans who are upset the infamous Fake Green Ballots. In …
So fellow Montgomery County Republicans: Are you tired of all of this winning? If you were a Republican candidate in the municipal elections last fall, are you forever grateful for MCRC’s efforts on your behalf? Or are you, like me, like so many I have talked to, utterly surprised at the level of energy and …

I also noted that if State Committee was going to ignore Wagner's baggage, Governor Wolf surely would not. That was before I knew that both Paul …
Last month, smack-dab in the middle of the three week petition gathering season, the Democrat-controlled PA Supreme Court decided to ignore the Constitution, overstep their authority and redrew the boundaries of Pennsylvania's U.S. Congressional Districts. This threw the entire Republican Party into a tailspin as they scrambled to find and vet candidates for newly created …
Our clocks only got set back an hour, but you are to be forgiven if you think they've gone back eight years. Joe Hoeffel, once the Perpetual Candidate for Any Available Office, is back, and he is running for Congress in the newly created, wide-open 4th Congressional District in Montgomery County. Morning Call: The race …
Today, the Southeast Caucus of the Pennsylvania State Republican Committee held a straw poll to vote on which candidate they are going to endorse for 2018. Your unofficial Southeast Caucus results for Governor: Wagner 40 Turzai 32 Mango 6 Ellsworth 0 Wagner has been winning straw polls all across Pennsylvania. The official PAGOP endorsement meeting …
So. The reaction to my first blog post was rather extreme. What’s that old saying? If you’re not catching flak, you’re not over the target. Apparently, a woman can “identify” as anything she likes these days. Anything, that is, except Republican. Republicans up for election or re-election, take note: Your record, your individuality, your integrity, …
