So I was somewhat gob smacked this morning when I logged into the Delco Times and saw an article about Fearless Restaurants and a lawsuit they recently lost.
Fearless Restaurant Group as in White Dog Cafe etc and my head is spinning. Is this guy still employed by them? How long has he been employed by them? How many of their restaurants has he worked in? Why would they have somebody on staff like this for so long? I have to ask what is the point of having a “good employee” from their owner perspective if he ends up costing them money in litigation later on? Is he still employed by them?
Philadelphia-area restaurant group won a $200,000 verdict after suing the company for protecting and enabling a sexual predator.
The lawsuit, filed in Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas by attorney Ryan Grace, alleged two claims of negligence against Fearless Restaurant LLC, and two claims of assault and battery against Daniel Razionale, 37, Philadelphia.
Two former employees of a Philadelphia-area restaurant group have filed a lawsuit alleging the company protected and enabled a known sexual predator, allowing him to continue victimizing female employees while transferring him from property to property.
The lawsuit, filed in Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas by attorney Ryan Grace on behalf of two women, alleges two claims of negligence against Fearless Restaurant LLC, and two claims of assault and battery against Daniel Razionale.
“In the complaint, we allege that a restaurant group that owns White Dog Cafe and other large establishments hired a man who was already on sex offender probation, let him molest multiple female co-workers, then sided with the abuser and tried to ostracize the victims from the Philadelphia area restaurant industry,” Grace said in a statement. “Fearless Restaurants seems to think that waitresses have to put up with being victimized and that getting groped is just part of their job. We are honored to help these women fight back against that toxic attitude in the service industry.”
After I posted the Delco Times article, people on social media said this wasn’t the first time litigation had been levied against this restaurant group for sexual harassment related things which I had never known. I thought they were making it up until I found the Philadelphia Magazine article from 2016:
Dad Sues White Dog Cafe for Sexual Harassment on Behalf of Late Daughter
The restaurant’s owner Marty Grims calls the suit, which he has yet to be served with, “totally ridiculous” and says there is “absolutely no basis” for it.
📌…”The lawsuit was filed last week by an Upper Darby father on behalf of his late daughter who, according to health department records, died by suicide on August 24, 2011, at the age of 21. The daughter, a West Philadelphia resident, worked at the Wayne location of the White Dog Cafe starting in 2010, and according to the lawsuit, she was subjected to unwanted advances and other forms of sexual harassment while employed there. (The names have been withheld out of respect to the family.)”📌
OK, I wasn’t aware of a toxic work culture, but if somebody who just patronizes a restaurant or two in a restaurant group occasionally, how would you know? Of course now this makes me wonder why sometimes when you go into one of these restaurants, they seem shortstaffed, right?
Then people started saying “oh well this isn’t the first time this guy has been charged with stuff like this.”
I am literally just shaking my head. I am having a disconnect in my head of how a successful restaurant group with the founder’s daughter also at the helm had an employee like this? And all this stuff which amounts to a toxic work environment and culture?
I just don’t understand how as a woman in a managerial/ownership/leadership position you would want an employee like that? And I am bearing in mind that they want to give this person a second chance at a rehabilitated life but how long do problems continue before you deal with them?
And this man who’s been charged with this stuff, he’s sick, isn’t he? So why move him around like the articles indicate from restaurant to restaurant like a freaking pedophile priest in the archdiocese of Philadelphia and not get him help?
Here we are at 2026 and women are still being sexually harassed like it’s nothing in the workplace and when will it stop but then again women are still being raped at frat parties in college so when will that stop? Are young women new to corporate America in some cases being warned like I was once upon a time decades ago to keep my back to the wall when a certain male employee was in the copier room?
Sign me really disappointed in this restaurant group. Suffice to say it’s been a bad news cycle week for restaurants and restaurant groups in this area lately hasn’t it?
In today’s scintillating edition of East Whiteland is a shit show and they aren’t protecting residents comes the magical news that they now have a will serve letter from AQUA.
Show and tell time East Whiteland or it’s all just more bullshit, except it will be that in the end anyway.
Possibly related? Apparently there are a lot of problems in house in East Whiteland Township. Could it be the management style or the management itself?
IF NO ONE CAN SEE THE LETTER IS IT JUST A MUNICIPAL FAIRY TALE?
I thought West Vincent seemed quiet, which made me think they were cooking up crazy. Well yep. There is a court docket. It’s welcome to crazy town that they filed against a former employee so when this is all done and dusted will this just be plain old harassment of some sort? I don’t know which is why I am asking the question.
Another question: if something was filed September 3rd, wouldn’t it have been referred to obliquely as an executive session item at their most recent meeting which was September 21st, 2026? Here you listen to the snippet where it was mentioned that there were NO executive session anythings from Chairwoman Bobblehead:
Yeah nothing and really strange, right?
Went back to August. Mention of something “potential” and “township property” but no mention of PROCEEDING with anything or did I miss something? You listen:
Read it. It’s bananas and if you are a West Vincent resident and/or pay any kind of taxes YOU are paying for some pretty amazing bullsheit in my humble opinion.
Your eyes do not deceive you….the manager and solicitor of west Vincent Township are trying to sue Kristina Casey, former employee (township secretary? assistant township secretary?) over a Facebook Page she is no longer part of and an Instagram page she was never part of. By “part of” I mean specifically administrator.
This fuckatorymagnimus has been going on for what? 14 or 15 months?
Let’s recap:
When Ms. Casey worked for the township, a Facebook page was created for West Vincent Township because well they were among the few that doesn’t have one:
It had 1700 or so followers.
So how do you create a Facebook page? Under your personal profile. Then after creation you can add other admins and moderators.
When Ms. Casey was leaving West Vincent as far as I can tell she wanted to TURN THE PAGE OVER TO SOMEONE ELSE IN FREAKING WEST VINCENT TOWNSHIP TO RUN, right? Never happened. And apparently at first world genius and Manager Tommy Ryan didn’t have a Facebook page.
Then all this Who Shot John (one of my late PA German grandmother’s favorite phrases) started and Ms. Casey kept repeating that she WANTED to turn it over but someone has to ACCEPT it.
Here are some screenshots:
Yeah ummmm okayyyy. And over the course of the time that has passed since Ms. Casey left and now it has been crazy town right? Some kind of private investigator on the township dime? But my favorite was township manager wanting the PASSWORD to the Facebook Page.
Umm hello? Not how it works. When you set up a page, there is an underlying individual Facebook profile but that account’s password belongs to the individual with the individual Facebook profile. When a Facebook page changes hands, it goes under someone else’s individual Facebook profile and they already have their own password….they don’t get Ms. Casey’s password…that would be against Meta rules and possibly illegal right?
Wait let me back up to the investigator who was also hired to sweep….wait for it…West Vincent Township for bugs. How very MI5 CIA of Tommy Ryan, right?
For real:
Real Twilight zone stuff right? Meanwhile Mr. Dopey Manager Dude gets a Facebook profile for himself with a West Vincent logo and a new Facebook page linked to some Instagram page:
And then I found this and have zero clue what that is about:
West Vincent also has an Instagram page…excuse me TWO Instagram pages….set up by someone else:
I asked around and apparently that person set one up a few years ago before Ms. Casey was employed. Seems like this woman who also is no longer at West Vincent must have lost her password, and started a second Instagram page. Her name is Maria. But none of this is something Ms. Casey has access to, so they seriously think she needs to give them control of this account or something? Whose on first here??? Why don’t they just talk to the Maria lady?
I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THIS TOWNSHIP. I also do not understand why and how west Vincent Supervisors are OK with all of this? I mean don’t the supervisors know how Facebook works? I am only sharing two profile screenshots because the new guy has a photo of his kid for a profile photo.
This is bananas and what is WRONG with this manager?? Are the civil rights of Kristina Casey being violated? Isn’t this like she being persecuted most unfairly?
Good lord residents of West Vincent Township are you paying for this? If so, any single one of you could be next and why is this dude a manager? Once upon a time the question was asked if the state needed to come in and manage this township, makes a body wonder if they should be invited to, doesn’t it?
Please note this post is brought to you by the First Amendment and what is publicly available. And make sure you like and follow the NEW West Vincent Facebook page for drivel. I think at the end of the day ol’ Tommy wants to be adored even if that would be a cold dark day in hell?
Description updated and it began back near the Charlestown border because apparently there were people who witnessed stuff – for people unfamiliar with the roadway it’s near that new ugly apartment building and Great Valley Parkway :
The East Whiteland Township Police Department is investigating a road rage incident involving a black Nissan SUV and a black Jeep Gladiator that ended in a shooting yesterday 9/23/2026 at approximately 1:35 pm on Morehall Rd. (Rt. 29) in the area of Old Morehall Rd. Investigators are requesting anyone that may have information or witnessed this incident to please call EWPD Detectives at (610) 647-2100 or email detectives@eastwhitelandpd.org
Please do not respond through Facebook to this post as it is not monitored regularly.
Hey North Coventry it’s not the Bill Soumis show right?
Who is Bill Soumis? Why he is the chair of the North Coventry supervisors.
And tonight Bill Soumis threw a woman out by using the police to remove her. She was speaking at the microphone. She wasn’t saying anything bad. He just didn’t want to hear what she was saying.
And State Representative Paul Friel sat there and did nothing? And the rest of the stupidvisors did nothing?
Wasn’t there a municipality somewhere in Pennsylvania where residents have just filed suit against the municipality for doing something similar? I think in that case they got locked out of a meeting, but it’s kind of in the same vein, isn’t it?
Anyway, you know that line “film at 11” ? What kids I’ve got the film at 10 PM from the resident victim and I have the comments that the resident was reading and I’ve got her contact number so if you’re in the media and you want to talk to her, you just hit me up.
This is pure unmitigated bullshit.
Contact North Coventry AND also Paul Friel’s office…. these people all stood there like a bunch of stunads allowing a woman to be manhandled. Unbelievable.
I have not seen a public notice or media report on this yet but sources in the courtroom are saying Kurt Schenk’s trial has ended in a mistrial I guess yesterday?
Former District Attorney Deb Ryan who is now Judge Ryan was the judge listed on the docket.
What I was told is trial DID end yesterday in a mistrial and supposedly 8 out of 10 jurors found the accused guilty. The victim’s family must be devastated but is it the end?
A mistrial is a non-ending isn’t it ? It is not innocence is it? The case can return to a pretrial state unless the prosecutor (DA) dismisses the charge, the court (judge) bars retrial, or the parties resolve it by plea right?
So again a mistrial does not mean innocence correct? I am sure the accused’s supporters will say that right? Ironically looking at the docket yesterday was the man’s birthday so he has a present for now? But does he?
What happens next? I don’t know, hopefully someone will report on this or some statement will come from the DA.
The victim, the young woman, is special needs. We all know how defense attorneys can treat victims because their job is to get the accused out of a situation right? God don’t like ugly and I believe in that.
What we CAN’T have here is street justice. We might not like the outcome but we have to abide by the law or we become as bad as those accused of crimes.
Hold this young woman and her family in your hearts and prayers.
And that church he is a minister of? New Beginnings Church of the Cross? Just don’t go to it.
Waiting like all of you for formal reports or media reports. As a woman I am seriously sad right now. I feel very strongly about crimes against women. It took TWO years for this to come to court. For that young woman and her family in my opinion that must have been two very long and possibly agonizing years.
The accused is someone who has been in the spotlight before when he was a politician in Coatesville. I did a newspaper search and for The Philadelphia Inquirer alone it showed that he was in 16 Coatesville related articles from the early 2000s in addition to the 2024 article. And then there was Daily Local, a paper in Coatesville etc. So my whole thing is every time this guy comes up in a media related thing like a newspaper article. It’s never very positive is it? (And yes that is my opinion you read newspaper archives, and tell me what you think.)
Like I have said many times before crimes against women is something that resonates with me. And in my opinion, this stuff probably happens more than we are informed about because so many women are afraid to come forward because of the way they are treated in court and isn’t that the truth?
My heart goes out for this young woman who is special needs, who is on the spectrum of something. She was very brave to come forward and I hope she finds closure in the event the court system is unable to attain it for her.
Sometimes Lady Justice doesn’t get the result people think she should and then I think sometimes she just weeps. And sometimes there is just karma and maybe this isn’t the end of the story for this young woman or any young woman in the future right?
What I keep thinking about is a hung jury and a mistrial isn’t an acquittal. It’s not innocence. It’s just its own thing in the legal system. But it doesn’t mean that the accused is innocent does it?
My final question is was 13 hours too short to deliberate?
Kelly’s from his history, didn’t start out life as a college bar.
Further back in the 19th century it was originally called the Ivy Inn. Located on the corner of Roberts Road and Lancaster Avenue in Bryn Mawr, it’s always just kind of been there.
The building it is today is kind of a flat roof monstrosity that I’m not quite sure how it ever got built. I remember when the Biggins brothers wanted to expand it and make it something different. All of a sudden it was this unfinished monstrosity and the place that gone belly up. Then the current owners bought it.
Honestly, I swear I’ve heard more complaints about that bar under the current ownership than the prior ownership.
There were lots of joints in Bryn Mawr years ago. Not fancy or pretentious, just bars. Like the Erin Pub and then I swear there was a place called Bob’s Mystical Garden. And also a place called You Bet Your Life we called You Beat Your Wife (then it became Mallory’s and is now and still The Grog.)
Kelly’s seems like it has had a growth of issues with the reincarnation of what was once a dive bar with pool tables in the back. When I knew it. that was fine. It was a joint.
Once the students cleared out for the year, or even certain times of the week there were local characters, some quite sad. One I met by accident once. It was while I was interviewing for first “real jobs” a million years ago. You know those in between days before true adulting started? I will also note that I never got in there underage because I never had fake ID etc.
Screenshot
Anyway, I literally went this one random day many, many years ago to Kelly’s with one of my friends. Yep we went to check out what they call “day drinking” today. I don’t like beer, so for me not so much drinking. It seemed quite scandalous to do that, and I remember thinking at the time how pissed of my mother would have been – who didn’t like those places to begin with – so that is probably why I did it.
There were some older locals in there that day. There was also a somewhat more refined older and really, really drunk Main Line-ish woman. Blondish hair flirting with the bartender. She was too wasted to drive. Came in that way apparently. I still think she was doing her own crawl. We hadn’t been there that long so we drove the woman home. She lived down College Avenue, on the other side of Haverford Road where the houses get more grand again closer to Merion Golf.
We made sure that she got into her big, overly quiet house and left. Seemed very lonely. Wanted us to come in and have a drink with her and that kind of killed us on the day drinking experience. We figured that when she sobered up, she would call a cab to get her car or maybe a family member would help her. My friend and I commented at the time to each other after we had left of how that could’ve turned out very differently for her if a pair of women hadn’t helped her get home.
That was like 40 years ago and I never forgot that. A lesson learned- what not to become. A very sad and lonely bar fly, whomever she was. And that was a beautiful house she lived in.
But that was old Kelly’s. I was not ever a regular, it was just an occasional place for me. So many people were these devotees of this place and that’s the only place they would ever go. They definitely had a devoted following back in the day. I remember like a giant moose head and a really big jockstrap hanging up. I also remember the old bar and always wondered what it would look like if it was truly cleaned up?
It was of course also a fun place to play pool once in a while. I am and always will be a less than mediocre pool player, but back then it was still fun. However, even my younger self knew residents and small businesses didn’t love the Kelly’s crowd. But I don’t remember the place getting as bad a rap until the current ownership. Or maybe none of us were aware of prior issues because it was before social media and everything all over the Internet?
I remember there was this roof deck thing when it first reopened and I remember there were actually pictures that the neighbors had taken because it was so loud at night and lots of people on these roof areas, and I think the Bryn Mawr Civic Association was trying to deal with it and I know this is actually true because I found an old email that I had been sent. It’s completely random that I had this email because it was from 2011. Not sure if it was prior or current ownership, but there were a flurry of court cases back then.
Recently I noticed in the media coverage of Kelly’s issues at present, they (the owners) feel like they’re being targeted, but are they really? Or is this just a continuation of past issues?
And the college-age behavior (and bars) is something that has always existed, but the attitude of some of the students now I think is different. Big senses of entitlement, yes? I also still think this has to do with the school, in this case Villanova University, because in my opinion they’re rather hands-off about their students off of campus and they’re a big presence in the area so I don’t know that they really can be anymore can they?
And do the students behave the way they do off campus because they feel that the school does not really care about their behavior in the community anyway? I mean, look at Mount Pleasant in Tredyffrin? It’s back to business as usual over there with new student rentals. Delta Chi frat bros in some of the rentals, and oh the richness of the other fact that a couple of the ones charged with disturbing the peace from the last round pled not guilty and are taking this to court because you know it’s fine to scream whore (among other behaviors) at a full time resident in the middle of the night, right?
Now to be honest, we tried going in there a couple of times over the past few years because new look Kelly’s advertises themselves as a pub and you can get lunch, etc. etc. Well I thought the food sucked. Both times we went there was like a Saturday and it was also empty. I don’t think school was in session both times we were there.
So maybe the people that own the place should be honest as you know people aren’t going in for the food and gastropub-ish ambiance, and it’s not really catering to the entire community just the student community, correct?
The bottom of their online menu says it’s the only place you’ll ever want to be. No, not really. And if they actually really tried to make them themselves an all age more inclusive feeling pub, maybe they would have different reception from the community and the police and the local townships?
I also had to giggle at the bar’s recollection of the history on that site when it opened as “The Ivy Inn” in the 19th century. I don’t know that it was ever completely respectable, and you weren’t going to find people on the Main Line staying in their “summer cottages” there in my opinion. I mean maybe the gents on occasion but definitely not the ladies as it would not have been socially acceptable. I kind of mentally did an eye roll on that. Yes the place started in the late 19th century but to me it was probably more of a location for the average Joe working man, versus fancy-schmancy.
I do remember reading a thread online at some point in time where somebody had a elderly relative that remembered it had a side door for ladies.
And it’s a bummer because I can’t seem to find any oldexteriororinteriorphotos or anything of even the late 20th century rendition of Kelly’s before they turned it into what it is today. And I honestly do think these old joints play a part in local history not just the fancy houses. I’m not looking for people partying it up in there, I was looking for what it looked like inside. When I was cruising around the Internet for old shots, I found one random photo from 1985 and you can’t even really see the bar or anything it’s just a bunch of people.
Now, when I was looking to see if I could still find some of these old threads about the history, I came across a guy remarking about something that happened in 2018 and it was some kid basically was followed from the bar and stabbed in Bryn Mawr.
College bars are college bars. Yet they need to co-exist in the regular world which they are a part of. If Kelly’s Taproom has a bullseye on it then they need to take some responsibility don’t they? Based on the past it’s nothing new.
(Ummm it’s about the Pope picture 🤮🙄)
Maybe Bryn Mawr doesn’t want college bars anymore? What about hookah bars? Are they still in existence?
I am going to share the recent media. But in my humble opinion it is not so simple as a college bar merely being targeted. Lower Merion’s s current police superintendent doesn’t start these things unless he has proof. I might not know what the heck is really going on, but I do know that much.
Also as I went this morning to noodle around for more for this post that there is a petition circulating by the owners to stop foreclosure. Didn’t know there was a current issue with foreclosure? Also a bit of a Hail Mary?
And again, I don’t have a problem with the old joints so to speak. Like one of the best hamburgers you will still ever get anywhere is Roache and O’Briens in Haverford. Somehow they have managed to survive just the way they are since 1933. Kelly’s should take a page out of their book.
Has a rainbow come to Mount Pleasant in Tredyffrin? Not sure exactly, but a mighty fine centerpiece article from The Philadelphia Inquirer has arrived.
I am so happy for the very beleaguered residents of this small historic neighborhood. I am honestly really happy that a bona fide reporter listened to what the residence had to say and wrote about it fairly.
See Tredyffrin? Told ya.
See Villanova University? Others do care about Mount Pleasant, even if your off-campus students and student rental slumlords there do not and just out of curiosity how many of those student rental landlords are alumni?
Yes there is a paywall but I actually know someone who subscribed today just so they could read this article. Tredyffrin’s inactive chickens are coming home to roost in Mt. Pleasant with this article. A reporter, the photographer to look into what has been even documented on social media.
This is a large article and I hope the message has been received that it is time to stop offering lip service, and deal with this.
As for Tredyffrin Supervisor Carlotta Johnson-Pugh who was quoted? She really shouldn’t dance. She should just say what the residents tell her: if this wasn’t a historically black neighborhood, people would care more. THAT is the truth and reality.
I don’t know where half of these Tredyffrin Supervisors were years ago when the original student housing ordinance was coming in to play, but I remember quite clearly how much it took them just to get around to doing an ordinance. It was somewhat disgraceful it took so long. And maybe the police department only has a certain number of calls on the books for the school year 2025 to 2026, but I have to ask were all of the calls investigated? Are the residents taken seriously?
📌 “When the parents aren’t getting on them, the college is not getting on them, the police are not getting on them, and then you got the neighbors, and all we can do is make a little fuss, but there’s not a lot we can do,”📌
This is a centerpiece article IMHO. The curtain has been lifted beyond a curtain raiser. Tredyffrin’s zoning officer is lazy at a minimum and could be doing more.
Allow one more (brief) quote from the Inquirer article today from Villanova University:
📌“Students are subject to the University’s Code of Student Conduct whether they are on- or off-campus, and the University follows up on all reports it receives from local municipalities,” the spokesperson said in a statement.📌
Ok good to know based upon this familiar email. I say familiar because I’ve been told people have received variations on the same theme:
Now to be fair, in the past I have found Villanova’s security folks helpful to residents to the best of their ability. But heavier lifting needs to come from Villanova University decision makers. I think they promised to be better during that meeting last year with residents once they acquired Cabrini?
A lot of schools in this country have directories on file for where all of their off-campus students are residing correct? Why can’t Villanova do this? I think I’ve been asking this for like over 20 years haven’t I? Why can’t they have a better grip on where these kids are living and how they are behaving vis à vis their policies they have in place for their students in general?
You know when you talk to these residents, they understand the college students want to have fun because a lot of them were college students once upon a time. However, these are literally animal houses that Mount Pleasant has been dealing with for far too long. And there needs to be palpable culpability on the part of the property owners who are renting these houses, perhaps?
I think this is a big stay tuned thing because I think this is a story that’s going to keep growing until the problems are solved in Tredyffrin like in Mount Pleasant.
Dude, you lost in NOVEMBER, 2025 so what are you running for today? And what’s with the regurgitation of lawn chair spectaculars? This is very odd obsessive behavior is it not?
Yes, back to Honey Brook Township. Back to the land of the thug politics cabal getting more desperate by the day. So desperate that one of them did this:
Good Afternoon,
This e-mail is intended for DC Mike Hepner. I am writing to you as a member of the Honey Brook community. I am not a Lion, but have a couple of friends who are and there is a continued level of online harassment/trademark infringement by an online blogger who is friends with someone who quit the Lions in Honey Brook a couple years ago.
This person has since been elected as a Honey Brook Township Supervisor and her friend, the blogger, continuously creates disgusting online images (including trademarked images) and “tags” the local Lions club, both during the election last year and as we speak.
I felt this needed attention from more than just the local club, on a district level. Although there is freedom of speech, I have attached a photo posted yesterday that shows obvious trademark infringement.
I am available for any questions you may have and hope you can obtain information to take this harassment down from social media.
Thanks,
Steven Jones
Can we get real? And before that, note although I was under no obligation to redact his information (address, phone, email) it was done anyway, so he cannot say he was doxxed (another issue and definition they struggle with.)
This has nothing as in ZERO to do with the Lion’s Club in Honey Brook and he isn’t a Lion’s Club member, yet he feels compelled to to write to the Lion’s Club to tattle? Like he is defending their honor from a made up situation in his head? Is it not more probable that they wish to use this group to their own twisted gain? They always try to drag all of these people into their games, don’t they? I mean come on, they even try to do this nonsense with the Chester County Republican Party do they not? Now it’s the Lion’s Club, last fall it was the Honey Brook Community Library, the fire company, Chester County Republicans, a minority County Commissioner, and I think even a food pantry? Why do they constantly deflect from the fact that these twisted up inside people are the actual problems, not everyone else? I mean shouldn’t they have simply more respect for these organizations and people instead of trying to drag them into their twisted sandbox of immaturity?
They have also not only tried to disparage and harass Valarie Shultz and others, but me, and literally anyonewho stands up to them. Do they think people don’t know? Do they think people don’t know their constant tattletale harangue tour? It’s what they do isn’t it? Bullying and intimidation?
(That includes mailing things to me when I did not provide them with an address during the election. That was done merely to try to intimidate me, to try to send a message they could get to me but did they? It was Priority Mail, so there is tracking, and to be honest, when you receive things like that, you can go to the US Postal Inspectors who do take thing like that seriously, yes?)
All of these people in his circle have made themselves public figures vis à vis their social media presence which includes public posts. You know, that pesky little globe?
These people are also public figures as elected officials and/or politicians and appointed officials, which makes them fair game. They have been mocked in response to their public behavior, correct?
Anything ever obtained about them that they don’t like on social media has been in the public purview. They posted it publicly and people picked it up.
They also are recorded at public meetings that anyone in the world can see. That includes Mr. Jones’ outbursts at public meetings. One example below.
Here’s a snippet from his handler:
What is his end game here? He puts things out publicly not just on Facebook, but now on YouTube. If his things weren’t public, no one would see them, and anyone can comment on things that are public.
Then also recently another stunning email sent from an outgoing elected Republican committeewoman, Deb Elmer. I found out courtesy of this:
So yesss…the email was sent out while disclosing the information on hundreds of residents. That is akin to a data breach. Oh and here is the email:
Dear Fellow Honey Brook Township Resident,
As a resident of Honey Brook Township and a Republican Committee member in HBT2, Precinct 301, I am writing to strongly support John Burdy and Gary R. McEwen candidacy for Precinct 300 committee member in the May 19, 2026 primary election.
I have known both men for many years and have closely followed their service on the Twin Valley School Board. They have consistently demonstrated strong leadership, sound judgment, and a clear commitment to serving our community with integrity.
Just as important as supporting strong candidates is being honest about the facts and ensuring accountability within our own process. My concern is maintaining fair and consistent standards within our party’s expectations.
Under our local area bylaws, committee members pledge to support only the endorsed republican candidate in all public spheres and limit their political activity to advancing the election of the endorsed candidate.
Based on firsthand involvement in HBT1, Precinct 300, concerns arose regarding adherence to conduct standards following the primary certification. During this period, Scott Stilson supported Valerie Shultz while still active, as a committee member, his exact resignation date is unclear. Lorraine Louie, who remains a committee member, also openly supported Shultz, who appeared on the general election ballot as a Democrat despite being registered as a Republican. This conduct raises questions regarding compliance with applicable party bylaws and standards.
Support included, among other actions, appearing at her Harmony Days table, posting on Facebook, and coordinating a debate. A standard process for a debate or meet-and-greet is to coordinate with the endorsed Republican candidate to ensure fair representation. Public Facebook posts suggest this standard was not followed.
Following formal complaints, supported by documentation I helped provide, party leadership ultimately directed Scott Stilson to step down. He did temporarily.
John Burdy and Gary R. McEwen have demonstrated that they respect both the role and responsibility of serving this community. I strongly encourage voters to consider their proven leadership and commitment when making their decision.
Sincerely,
Debbie Elmer
Gosh she colors the truth so well, yes? (Also spell check is everything.)
Here is a little more from Acid Aunty:
So then there is another bit of amusement. They are running Supervisor Sal’s son for Republican committeeman. They list him as a college student and yet he is on the school board. As is the other guy they are running for Republican committeeman (https://www.tvsd.org/page/school-board). It’s just so obvious what they are doing – shore it all up and try to keep control because they don’t like chinks in the walls of Tammany Hall in the corn field do they? And the current Twin Valley School School Board President? How long has he been on the school board? Since around 2001 right? Makes an interesting case for term limits in a very problematic school district that straddles two counties, yes? And the chair of the school board who is a committeeman is also on the Honey Brook Township Planning Commission?
It’s just so cozy in Honey Brook Township, yes?
So back to the Supervisor’s son being put up for committeeman ok? Why is that? I think that it is about control of the township by the cabal and I can have that opinion. I also have the opinion it is to groom him to be a supervisor candidate since the last choice, Steve Jones, didn’t work out so well, yes? But if they are running one supervisor’s son (Nick son of Sally DeeGee) are they also running his close personal sock puppet Jack Wilson?
And when you are talking about cozy in Honey Brook politics, one also must consider John Burdy listed in that letter as running for committeeman and why? Well his wifey is the other supervisor, Laura Burdy. You can see her sour puss on meetings, can’t you? And Burdy’s lineage is interesting because his late father who passed in 2007 was a secretary and administrator of neighboring Caernarvon Township in Berks County. Think Morgantown. Now someone will scream from the rafters because I mentioned that, but it’s simply part of the local political history, right? Caernarvon Township and Honey Brook Township have I always thought a close-ish relationship here and there over the years and share a school district, right?
This township is politically messy. It’s why I started writing about it. That and they were targeting Valerie Shultz, who is an actual friend of mine, hoping she would go away and not run for supervisor. Well she made it, which is a threat and the meetings have all been some degree of a circus as a result. And interestingly enough the most recent development is the township manager Warren Obenski is leaving so I guess he won’t be doing Sally DeeGee’s requested police and corruption taskforce thingys? There were supposed to be two of this – they came up at the February 11 meeting and they keep trying to pin this on Valerie Shultz who abstained as she felt it was not a kosher vote, correct? Wonder where he is going? His wife is the chair of the Uwchlan Supervisors isn’t she?
And hey whatever happened to that poor woman who fell and got banged up at the Honey Brook Township building on election night 2025 when a certain candidate’s signage seemed to be blocking the light? Why don’t they talk about that?
But back to the odd politician behavior, ok? So one of the most dangerous kinds of politicians are the ones who didn’t get elected, correct? He bubbaficates regularly and there are outbursts at meetings and wow the behavior is concerning isn’t t? His constant public posts still about how Valerie Shultz is a Democrat (she isn’t, we all know this except for the thug politics cabal in Honey Brook Township), etc. Or attempts to get at me or talk smack ablout me…and then he gets all upset if his targets respond with humor, facts and political lampoons? And then he revs up his stuff on his candidate page now renamed with the same types of posts as before? His posts are PUBLIC so no one is breaking any rules sharing screenshots:
Harassed? Umm no, we aren’t the ones doing the harassing, but we have responded to the word salads on occasion.
So what is his obsessive end game here? He puts things out publicly not just on Facebook, but now on YouTube. If his things weren’t public, no one would see them, and anyone can comment on things that are public, so what is the dealio?
It’s not a pattern of continued anything, and in my opinion the fact is that this all started this up again after Valarie was sworn in and that exhibits dangerously obsessive behavior. And as Valarie can point out this wasn’t just directed towards her when he started up again but me, and others. See this:
When he posts publicly like he does and they do, it’s fair game. He doesn’t seem to understand that whole concept of the little globe in the post, none of them do.
It’s a case of perpetual sour grapes. Valerie Schultz is a Republican who beat him and she was written in on the Democrat ballot, but that will never make her a Democrat or me the Tooth Fairy, yes? I seem to recall Jones got a small number of write ins on the Democrat ballot as well, but not enough to beat her to be truly cross filed, correct?
This is all about him and them. Not the Honey Brook Library, food banks, first responders, fire companies, or the Lion’s Club. Every time they don’t like what someone says, they try to deflect to something that isn’t actually reality and why is that? If they deflect, they distract, kind of like not talking about Jeffrey Epstein in Washington, yes?
This is why people want different and better for Honey Brook Township and even that school district out there. The obsessive hoodie and his handler and the rest of them would have you think it’s all unicorns farting rainbows and fuzzy bunnies. It’s not. It’s a beautiful place that people are trying to make better. And that includes breaking the grip of politics as usual. They don’t get that his and others’ odd and often angry behavior flies directly in the face of the “nothing to see here” they so desperately want.
