It sure seems like the Franklin Mint Federal Credit Union’s website has been hacked doesn’t it? That is what 6ABC is saying too? How did they let THAT happen and maybe they want to say more than it’s having technical issues with their website?
I honestly don’t understand how any financial institution today can get themselves hacked. What is the implication for the customers? Is their information safe, etc.?
I get that they have no website or whatever but they can speak to their customers on as far as a statement, but maybe they need to release one to the media instead of playing possum? Where is the state banking commission on this?
PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) — A banking outage has many customers in Philadelphia’s tri-state area concerned.
Franklin Mint Federal Credit Union’s digital operations remain down Tuesday morning, stretching into a second day….Action News found that the main website shows an offer to buy the domain for $10,000 on GoDaddy.com.
Decisions, decisions. Which little lies are better to listen to? I think East Whiteland Supervisors meeting is the correct choice at 6:30 PM on Wednesday August 19th, 2026.
East Whiteland in my opinion is doing the pat the residents on their heads and give them a lollypop and tell them there is nothing to see here.
Every meeting has something to see, and as long as data centers are on the township menu EVERY meeting is an opportunity to be heard (politely even if some township supervisors are not.)
The residents of General Warren Village know this all too well and if you notice they show up still for most meetings to tell the township how they feel about Bishop Tube.
Last week the township released a data center word salad. The best comment I saw on social media said:
Their “word salad” will give you Cyclospora.
The reality is EVERY meeting has to legally allow public comment. People can do it virtually or in person. If the township wants to play kick the can with the data center issue just like they do with Bishop Tube, that is on them but legally they still have to provide time for public comment and allow it. So show up Wednesday and bring a friend. BE POLITE.
And in other burning East Whiteland news apparently Ginny Kerslake and I are hot topics at the Great Valley Democrat zone meetings held at East Whiteland Township in the township building. I am in good company with Ginny, yes? I am but one woman as is Ginny so do you have questions for us or something Supervisor Peter Fixler?
East Whiteland at that time kind of said that Foote Mineral as a site was all better but was it even then?
This politician doesn’t have to like me as I don’t care for him either, but for me to be a topic for discussion at Democrat Zone Meetings like I am public enemy number one and so is Ginny Kerslake? Really? Your zone meetings are held in the township building and not all of your residents are Democrats, so I hope the Democrats are contributing to the costs of having the meetings there after hours?
Residents are not the enemy, Supervisor Peter Fixler. We live here. We have a right to our opinions even if you don’t agree as an elected official that the majority of us are concerned about another truly bad plan for East Whiteland Township.
I haven’t drunk any Kool aid as has been previously alluded to. I have not liked this concept since jump.
If Fixler is a politician with a pro-environmental bent, he should act like it. But cut the middle school lunch table nonsense of serving up residents at political meetings. His political problems are self created on this topic. Neither I nor Ginny nor anyone else created them.
(In case you were wondering why East Whiteland needs more and better representation as in 2 more supervisors look no further that this guy IMHO.)
The fantastical green serpentine stone of the Darlington Inn
You know it started out like your basic hotter than hell day in Chester County yesterday. Then it got really hot in a particular township. Westtown Township to be precise.
It started when I was sent this message:
This is the current historic commission:
Now I have to be honest, Westtown Township has an enviable historic commission. They really work their tails off and I know they’ve been desperately trying to save the Darlington Inn.
Let’s chat Darlington for a moment. In 1843, David Taylor, who was a sculptor by hobby and a strong Whig supporter, carved Henry Clay’s face into the stone at Darlington. Henry Clay was the Whig presidential candidate in 1844.
So Taylor bought the house in 1843; he carved the face in 1844. In 1860 he also carved a likeness of his black dog, named “Lincoln” after the 16th president, who was then a presidential candidate. Now this is only part of the fascinating history.
Back to our present in Chester County. As we know, in late April and early May, there was like a big meeting and they put the zoning change for the Darlington Inn on hold.
And before we get to that, there’s the endless curiosity I have with odd politics. So that new supervisor, Jodi whatever her name is? She’s been a supervisor for like six seconds and now she’s the chair? I watched her the other night. She can barely do a meeting. She needed a lot of handholding. Daddy instructs her constantly. Did she even finish that “supervisor school” new elected officials take?
However Jodi Nawrocki (I finally looked up her last name because I figured I really can’t refer to her as supervisor -Jodi -what’s -her -name) sure seems to have loved the Darlington Inn and the serpentine stone when she was running for office, didn’t she? so one would think she would be appreciative of a historic commission that was advocating for its survival and what not? But I do think that’s worth mentioning. So maybe it’s pertinent?
So how did she become instant chair of the supervisors in Westtown after just being elected? Was it like a cup of soup salt barf ramen noodles just add hot water?
Oh wait I forgot to mention something else. It seems like Westtown Township and Tredyffrin share the same solicitor? I find that very interesting if it’s true. I always find that crossover interesting don’t some of you?
Anywhooo….it seems at some point in June a Supervisor named Ed Yost resigned. He was moving out of Westtown so he literally had to. And when I was checking out this most recent meeting there seem to be a lot of contretemps about how a new supervisor was appointed. Someone named Frederick Manger. I also think he came from the historic commission and as the Saturday Night Live Church Lady would famously say “isn’t that special?” Also I have to ask the question is he a buddy of that one supervisor who’s like the cheese stands alone and is in control? So was this all by design even him going on the historic commission in the first place? And the supervisor who never seems to be able to leave Westtown might not like my questions, but there is nothing illegal about them
It is time for an intermission after a fashion before I circle back to what Westtown is actually trying to do to their current historic commission. Kindly allow me to give you a few snippets of the recent July meeting. I found them illuminating, fascinating, and like watching a municipal train wreck. I guarantee watching their meetings will create municipal gaper delay.
I hope you enjoyed the intermission or interlude, now it is time to go back to the whole historical commission thing. I posted the little screen message I got and I started getting other private messages from township cheerleader types:
Then an article came out yesterday afternoon in the Inquirer. A giant a-ha moment. Truly.
According to the article, the message I was sent seems kind of true, doesn’t it? And someone else after I posted the message essentially told me that this was about the Darlington Inn. That’s what the article says too, doesn’t it?
According to the article, there’s also an email that went out to this volunteer board, saying basically the supervisors were going to vote on their removal forthwith and they were being told as a courtesy. Apparently this was all stated in some email shared with the paper that was from the township manager Liudmila (Mila) Carter (the one on the meeting recording who sounds like Yvonne from the Bullwinkle cartoon.) It seems as if there will be a publiclynching at the next supervisors’ meeting, and that some upcoming historic commission meeting has also been canceled by the Westtown Township.
Oh, but if they really wanted to keep their volunteer positions, they could reapply for it. Needless to say no one in Westtown was available for comment to a regional newspaper. It seems when the article was being written again to quote the Church Lady “isn’t that special?”
And of course, none of this was supposed to get out in the public purview, but it has. Because when things are rotten enough, they can’t be hidden any longer, can they?
Now let’s go to the July meeting that I have the snippets posted up above. I don’t have the whole meeting up, but also with that meeting or maybe it was another one (I’m not really sure) the township solicitor suggested easements to help protect the Darlington Inn. Jodi with an “i” didn’t think that was a great idea. (This is all in the Inquirer article too by the way I’m not making this up.)
Isn’t it kind of fun that Jodi with an “i” had the Darlington in her campaign when she was running for supervisor but now that she is supervisor I guess she doesn’t think it has the same amount of luster because she didn’t want to add what the solicitor suggested?
Here is the entire July meeting- what the heck I will post it and hopefully it doesn’t disappear:
Here are their June meeting recordings:
So now I’ve set the stage right? There’s trouble in paradise in Westtown. In my opinion, it’s a very interesting political scenario over there. You have one supervisor with lots of experience like Wiley Coyote and two novices? (Yes, I can have that opinion. I figure I’ll get that out-of-the-way since I heard that Westtown supervisors can still be rather petty.)
Anyway, it makes you wonder about who really is the puppeteer here and why they really want to get rid of the historic commission? And I have to ask does someone in particular want the Darlington Inn gone in Westtown Township?
I can also tell you how some of the made up stuff that’s floating around and is not true.
My sources tell me that the purported sunshine violations are bunk. Apparently it’s stems from historic commission members who want to go to some historic preservation network dinner? They are being told going to a historic preservation event is a violation of the sunshine laws?
Are. They. Freaking. Kidding. Me?
A social gathering is not violating the sunshine law. Talk about desperados grasping at straws.
Here- think I am making this up? I have emails and this is what you need to see (below in light and dark because I don’t know which is easiest for people to see.)
And it’s something that can be obtained on a right to know it’s not anything privileged. These are emails from the township manager, who apparently is also the head of building and planning and zoning and how can she effectively be a manager of a large enough township and do that as well?
I mean, call me crazy but I have gone to those Westtown Day things at historic Oakbourne and the historic commission people are all always there talking about the history of that township. I mean it was because of them and talking to them about the wonderful history of Oakbourne Mansion that we chose to get married there. So is THAT a violation of sunshine law too?
In my humble opinion the answer to that is no. This isn’t a violation of sunshine laws at all. It’s just bull twaddle.
And appointing a new supervisor in private and having to correct it is kind of wild, right?
This is the kind of crazy town bullshit that causes things to go south in a township. Who will be the fall guy or gal when that happens? You would’ve thought that elected officials in this municipality would have learned when they had to be talked into saving Crebilly in the first place, right?
I hate to say it, but if you live in Westtown or you care about the Darlington Inn, it’s time to start storming the Bastille over there because there’s something really wrong happening. These yahoos don’t have actual cause to divest themselves of their historic commission. It would just be more convenient for them to load up a board full of people they can control, wouldn’t it?
So are people, residents, taxpayers going to allow this to happen or are they going to call bullshit on these supervisors? Maybe the supervisors are the ones who should all be replaced?
I mean it’s getting to the point people that you have to wonder what municipality has not lost its damn mind in Chester County, Pennsylvania.
A recap before I leave you, followed by a delightful array of screenshots.
Westtown Township residents need to get busy. As was the case with Crebilly, in my opinion, rather troubling times once again. Meet your supervisors who wish to cancel your entire historic commission over trumped up BS.
First you have the new gal who ran on putting residents first along with the sentimentality of the history including the Darlington Inn. She is being led around like a puppy in a leash training class by the old timer who is literally on and off of the board and can’t stay away, can he? And then there is number 3. Buds with the old timer, correct? Once on the historic commission (isn’t that special and how’d he come to get there?) they tried to slide him in behind closed doors June-ish, correct? Kind of stealth and why didn’t the solicitor stop it and correct it then? I mean a solicitor should know, right??? So then number 3 was adjusted in during the July 6 meeting, correct? That’s neat shoehorning CYA if politicians can get it, right? Well his bio was up and then it was down right? Caught an important snippet still showing on a Google search that disappears when you click on it.
So now these people wish to magically erase the ENTIRE historic commission on made-up stuff? Hmmmm there’s something rotten in Denmark err Westtown and it seems obvious right? Like it’s 0”politically motivated retaliation or retribution? And what is the township manager actually doing about it? Shouldn’t she and the solicitor stop hiding about this?
Enjoy the screenshots snippets which in my opinion are so illuminating:
A good residents’ to do list should include start filing right to know requests in Westtown again ASAP.
Start with ALL communications between the supervisors (including the one who recently departed), the township manager, and the historic commission.
Ask for everything under the sun surrounding the Darlington Inn.
Talk to those who fought to save Crebilly to see what they might have vis-à-vis information that could be helpful.
Start looking into ways that the State Attorney General’s office could look into this board of supervisors.
Start checking out who would be good to replace all of these people who are currently supervisors with. How are their ethics going with the current supervisors? Are they violating oaths of office?
Stand up and stand withthe current Westtown Historic Commission, they deserve your support. Westtown residents you have to stand up and make some noise, and you should want to. This is pure, unmitigated bullsheit.
Resident photo, East Whiteland Data Center Site NOT TRESPASSING!
The Sword of Damocles. I think that’s a good and applicable metaphor for those of us in any community throughout Pennsylvania dealing with the issue of data centers. We live in a state of eventual peril, and our elected officials don’t really seem to get it and or really care. Or if they care at all, do they care enough?
East Whiteland in particular I’m beginning to find especially frustrating. With everything it’s no we couldn’t possibly, it’s never maybe we can investigate that as a solution.
Every time you turn around yet another community is being faced with a potential data center, or inadequate bad pablum smeared data center ordinance language developed by people who are really in it to get data centers in communities. And yes, I can have that opinion because it’s the truth in my opinion.
The developers are your typical developers and this could be a warehouse or an apartment building or condominium complex or bad stick frame townhouse development. They don’t really care, they’re just in it to make money. and like typical developers they will build their build and move on to the next community whose lives they are going to impact negatively.
There seems to be a couple of court cases pending, so there’s no actual data center building going on at the moment in East Whiteland, but it never should’ve gotten this far. This township had the ability when this first started to say no, but they lost their balls along the way.
This started in 2018. I know because I was following it and so was Ginny Kerslake. It was around the same time that the developer tried unsuccessfully to get a hydrogen hub in West Whiteland next to where he wanted the data center in East Whiteland.
When I asked about this then and asked them if they had ever heard of Loudon County Virginia or how bad this could be the response was along the lines of (and I’m paraphrasing), “It couldn’t be that bad.”
I warned officials in this township then that a human tsunami would arrive when they least expected it about this data center. And the human tsunami is here and the residents are not backing down, which is something this township is not used to because there isn’t a lot of staying power on certain issues. But with this the issue of data centers, residents are united.
And it’s not just the residents of East Whiteland. It’s the surrounding communities who would be affected by this data center or who are going to be affected by another data center. This issue is non-partisan. People just don’t want them, and if you study the fine print in our electric bills, we’re already paying for data centers. We’re paying for what we didn’t ask to have dumped on us. That’s just classic isn’t it?

A truthfully, we shouldn’t have to have it. There’s an opportunity right now in Harrisburg thanks to State Senator Katie Muth to pass a bill that would allow for a moratorium on data centers. It wouldn’t be forever, but it would give people breathing room, but of course the lobbyists and the politicians, who have swallowed the Emperor’s new clothes as being spun by Governor Josh Shapiro, just don’t get it, and their ignorance (or deliberate obdurance) could cost us our communities, our health, our environment, our home values, and more.
State Senator Katie Muth is the only elected official who seems to give a damn most days.
Who is going to take care of us when our wells run dry? Who is going to take care of us when we don’t have enough energy for our use because it’s being hogged by a data center? Who is going to keep us from literally losing our minds from the noise of a data center which will also affect our children, our pets, our wildlife?
Resident photo no trespassing involved
I’m tired of being Sister Mary Sunshine on this issue. It’s wrong and when did our government become people who didn’t protect the people who elected them in the first place? Do any of them have courage? That remains to be seen.
Now there’s this narrative being spun in East Whiteland that Foote Mineral really isn’t a super fund/EPA site any longer. Don’t know what they’re smoking, but it really must be good, huh?
Yes. It. Is.
That Foote Mineral site is a bad site and this is a greed driven bad plan. Data centers are not good for any community. And yes I can have that opinion.
And a brief segue to Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, and Salem Township. Does anyone really believe that the data center land owners give a crap about the cats living on one particular parcel I mean, where are they going with them? Are they just making them disappear? Doesn’t the potential for animal cruelty matter either?
My greatest fear with these data centers is the reality that our local governments and our state government is creating a Logan‘s Run scenario for the future. And that’s not as crazy as it sounds if you look at what’s happening with the negative effects of data centers in other states already.
I just can’t with these people. I got an email this morning:
Guess who just declared she is running for Chair of the ChesCo Republican Committee?
Ada Nestor. Yep. Nutjob at large. I have never met her but she is one of those people that when I read her writings, they sound legit….until you start looking into it. But lazy people don’t. They take things at face value. And the crazy thing is she has a following.
This woman is dangerous! She belongs to this group that is some kind of political machine. The RCCC will become some kind of arm of a murky group called Keystone Fair Business that is a 501(c)(6) that will control the RCCC for it’s specific donors, basically making the RCCC a lobbying group. And who is her right hand girl? Felice Fein, chair of whatever area has West Goshen, I can’t remember right now, where Ada is now the Vice Chair.
Anyway, I know you are a fan, so I thought I would clue you in! Re-org is the following Thursday.
She used to love Raffi Terzian until she didn’t. But I’m sure as was the case when she used to go yell at Michelle Kichline at Chester County Commissioner meetings as she thinks her vote means she owns Republican politicians personally, right?
Here’s something off of someplace she scribbles. Just an excerpt:
The screenshots are out of order, probably but they don’t matter because they never make any sense like most things that come out of her mouth.
I love how she’s talking about “success stories.” Let’s start where she lives in West Goshen what Republican success stories do they have there where she is Vice Chair of that Republican Committee? Didn’t they have the guy that scribbled on lawn signs of Democrats and then there was the whole gun raffle ticket at tables at the polls during an election that even appalled the fellow Republicans. Yep so #winning right?
And lest we all forget, this was a woman who thought January 6th and assaulting people at our nation’s capital and defacing our nation’s capital was OK ? And she is part of Klanned Karenhood too?
This is a woman who is a legend in her own mind. She even took to trying to say earlier this year that I was impeding law-enforcement because I wrote about ICE in either Coatesville or Phoenixville or both.
Now the people she brings with her? Felice Fein who has been at the helm of the sinking ship of West Goshen Republicans not knowing her ass from a hole in the wall for how long? And the crazies from Oxford and Tammany Hall politics in the cornfield of Honey Brook Township? Gosh how exciting! (No not really.) These are the people that keep what is left of the Republican party in the toilet. Remember what my pen pal said:
The RCCC will become some kind of arm of a murky group called Keystone Fair Business that is a 501(c)(6) that will control the RCCC for it’s specific donors, basically making the RCCC a lobbying group. And who is her right hand girl? Felice Fein
So it’s up to all of you whomever you are as Republicans. Do you want nutbags to further ruin what national politics has done to local and regional Republican committees, or someone like Dave Buckta who will tell them to sit down and mind their place?
While Raffi’s politics have never been mine, he is not a bad person. I first met him through the Tredyffrin Historic Preservation Trust events years ago. He has tolerated an unbelievable amount of constant garbage from the QAnon Princess and those like her. Well, now once again, they want to take over. Why??? Because of the guy Dave Buckta who is in line to be Chair. NO BS about him and they can’t have that, can they? And no, I do not know Dave Buckta, only have actually heard positive things about him and he is not a crazy nutbag QAnon conspiracy theorist who suffers from chronic identity crises.
Dave Buckta who is the current Vice Chair of the Chester County Republicans is too normal, doesn’t live his best fake life on social media, therefore in Ms.- Pretzel -Logic -QAnon- Princess- with- a- Bible- Verse style, he must be bad. That means of course he has probably said no to her or her sidekick Felice- I -Whine -Fein right?
She’s even tried to pervert the data center issues. Going back to her QAnon roots, bless her heart, and everything has a bible verse like it absolves her behavior. (It doesn’t.)
Of course now, Martyr QAnon Princess will rise from the ashes and create a wailing wall about me for writing this. She still never gets her largest impediment to her success is herself, and always will be. She will launch another campaign making me the problem.
LOL I am neither Republican nor Democrat. Her followers with speak about how “liberal” I am, but am I really? I have never thought so. I am just not a Stepford Wife. Women like her say they admire independent thinkers and women, but they don’t. Maybe just my opinion, but a lot of that has to do with their insecurities and feverishly wanting to belong, yet always being slightly on the fringes.
Look Chester County Republicans, you have a choice, and if this one gets another insecure foot in the door, you can really and truly kiss the Republican Party good-bye. If you want a better party, don’t let the worst in. Keep the tin foil hats outside, and The Real Housewives of West Goshen cast members OUT.
I love a good phone solicitation don’t you? No, not really, right. Yes, I get it and neither do I, was just being sarcastic.
I received one yesterday. Another fake roofing inspection one. Ever since some in the area had hail, they have been relentless. Door to door people but mostly phone solicitors.
It’s always Philadelphia roofing something or other or Pennsylvania roofing something or other. And when you pretend to be hard of hearing and ask them to repeat the company name, it’s another company name (that doesn’t exist and none of them exist.)
This turdsticker yesterday started again with the tired old “we are doing work for your neighbors.”
Yeah umm no you are not anymore than the summer seasonal driveway sealing gypsies.
Well this one told me to shut up as in shut up stupid woman I’m speaking.
Yeah that didn’t work so well and this time I called back. Told them off and told them that I was recording the call.
Don’t fall for this BS and I know some people do. Legitimate businesses don’t operate this way, pure and simple.
I saw this on social media and felt I should share it here
So a few days ago, a letter was discovered:
That got a very big WTF response out of me. I don’t know maybe they don’t see dead people in this township but they see dead plans don’t they? I was actually seriously disappointed to discover this letter existed. It’s kind of like it makes you wonder if everyone knows what’s going on in East Whiteland Township again and that’s horrible to feel. Makes me sad because they have come so far.
From the beginning, even though I really like two of the supervisors (not Peter Fixler) and the township manager and most of the staff, I felt everything involving this data center was somewhat odd and off.
And I will note in the arena of people I like at East Whiteland Township, people I wish that weren’t here that I do not know and do not care to know is the Assistant Township Manager Catherine Ricardo. Essentially my opinion is they made a mistake when they hired East Vincent’s former mistake of a manager…and yes, she was the manager when the zoning change went in at Pennhurst wasn’t she? As in where they are fighting a giant data center, so how can residents in East Whiteland even begin to trust her? Also isn’t it a bit strange that somebody would go for being a manager to an underling/assistant manager?
But I digress.
This letter that was discovered lends itself to everything that Ginny Kerslake has said.
It’s been an education dealing with data centers. It is even worse in a lot of ways than when people were fighting the pipelines a few years ago.
(State Rep Danielle Otten, I will take this opportunity to politely remind you that that’s why you were elected, remember? To fight for the people, not to capitulate to things like data centers? I won’t bother to remind State Rep Kristine Howard of anything because she does nothing. They apparently share office space and a data center disease or something?)
Anyway, next comes this letter from the special counsel solicitor dude:
What I have to say to that is, predictable. Communities upstate dealing with this guy as a special counsel weren’t enamored of him before East Whiteland rolled up and hired him. It’s like every time something happens to show this township why they are wrong and people tell them how they can correct it, they double down on the wrong part, don’t they? (Yes, I can have that opinion and it took me a long time to verbalize it because I just didn’t want to believe it was happening.)
Now the funny thing is what’s happening now is what I said would happen in East Whiteland when they started this process around 2018.
East Whiteland never should’ve approved this in any way shape or form. They should have sent the stock picker packing back to Willistown. Let him put a data center on his property, not in a neighboring township. (Green Fig’s Charlie Lyddane is from Willistown correct?)
East Whiteland is digging in their heels over their Waterloo. Maybe I should specify their latest Waterloo because things like Bishop Tube aretube are still alive in this township aren’t they how many years later?
I also have to wonder if there were five supervisors on this board if everyone would still be dealing with this? Under the Second Class Township code they can have up to five supervisors so why don’t they? I will note I suggested that yearsago and was told it wasn’t necessary. I don’t know the process, but it is possible to get this on a ballot as a referendum item and if the majority of the people vote in a main election like in the fall, they could get five supervisors.
Again, I said East Whiteland would face a people tsunami over data centers as an issue. And it’s lapping at their proverbial shores. And that is in spite of people feeling like they’re being intimidated at meetings by certain guests of the developers panel, etc. and isn’t that true?
I will note I am pretty much an observer here. I am not driving the people tsunami bus. But I knew it would come. This is too bad and big an issue and it’s a nationwide issue as well.
East Whiteland still can do the right thing and say no. They actually can but will they? Or does more of a tsunami have to lap at the shores?
Allow me to share something from the residents fighting:
Meanwhile, in places like Limerick, residents, planning friendraisers to fight their data center are finding local businesses like MaGerk’s in Royersford I guess it is canceling their events.
This data center flight is getting supremely ugly and I don’t know if places like East Whiteland just don’t get it, but people aren’t backing down.
I leave you with Andrew Schneider‘s presentation from the recent East Whiteland meeting once again. I hope the media keeps following this.
We don’t want data centers around here. And at its most basic that is not a NIMBY statement, it’s practical. We can’t afford it from an energy bill and basic supply perspective. We can’t afford it from a water perspective, and that is separate from the rest of the environmental impacts. Data centers are just about the profits of other people outside our communities. It’s not about residents. I mean, maybe East Whiteland Supervisor Peter Fixler would like a data center in his backyard since he thinks data centers are silent, but who am I but a mere mortal and female to ask that question?
But I have been thinking about this, and many years ago, they told all of us at the Save Ardmore Coalition that we would never stop eminent domain for private gain. As a matter of fact, I had a commissioner at the time (who was also a lawyer/lobbyist in Harrisburg once upon a time) wag a finger in my face for a couple of minutes literally spitting mad in front of a congressman saying they were getting the eminent domain through. That was after a public meeting on eminent domain held at a local college.
Eminent Domain didn’t happen and half of the board of commissioners was replaced as a result.
Ahh birds of a feather on a Monday morning? State Representative Lisa Borowski who was a self- serving commissioner in Radnor Township is now an equally self-serving State Representative for Delaware County is a co-sponsor of PA HB 2151 which adds data center language dangerously so to the PA Municipalities Planning Code gets voted on this morning.
Lisa Borowski doesn’t give a good god damn about Pennsylvanians obviously and well if she’s elected again then Delaware County has lost its mind. She could’ve removed herself from the spill, but she just ignored everyone and went to her little petition signing parties. Of course she’s also let down a lot of Radnor residents recently on issues they are having where she promised to help.
Kristine Howard of course is the great invisible state representative representing parts of Chester county including East Whiteland, which is fighting a data center.
From Ginny Kerslake:
📌At 10 o’clock this morning, March 2 the Pennsylvania House Energy Committee will be voting on HB2151. You can watch the vote at the link below.
HB2151 will NOT put strict guardrails on data center development as some in Harrisburg are claiming. Expect the opposite from the Department of Community and Economic Development which has been working hand-in-hand with corporations like Amazon to fast-track projects and keep information from impacted communities. They should not be in charge of deciding what is reasonable for local data center ordinances – such things as setback distances from homes and schools or maximum allowable noise level levels.
All of these state representatives are on the ballot this year. Let’s see how they vote
Malvern is the new Minnesota. This happened yesterday at The Yards apartments in Malvern.
Yes ‘The Yards’ on Lancaster Avenue in Malvern, East Whiteland Township, Chester County, PA.
I have been told that they followed this poor guy from Wawa (corner of Planebrook and Lancaster Avenue) and he was apparently a contractor coming to install carpet. Day jobber laborers have shown up outside that Wawa for as long as it has been there. Apparently there were other people according to the post I borrowed the video from, but it seems like they got away since you only see that one terrified man?
Again, this happened earlier on Friday 1/23/2026. We know nothing about this person. Only now yet another community in this country is feeling terrorized like so many other communities.
And I can tell you, I had people blowing up my phone yesterday morning, driving by, etc. who saw this all unfold. I figured eventually video would show up and it did.
Tell me again this isn’t like 1930s Germany with social media?
I found a video on social media and I took it and added it to a couple other things I found on this event from yesterday. No one is or was impeding law enforcement, or whatever you want to call ICE. I am not impeding anything.
I can tell you this sent chills down my spine.
I can tell you it makes us all afraid to go out within our communities because of the chaos that happens when these people are showing up pulling people out of communities.
I have friends who are US citizens or who are first generation born of immigrant parents who are U.S. citizens who walk around with there passports now because they’re afraid that ICE will pick them up.
And don’t tell me that we have nothing to fear from these people, as we’ve seen they kind of just do what they want, which kind of defeats the purpose of an civilized society with actual law enforcement, doesn’t it?
You will also notice in this video that there was absolutely no, as in zero, local law-enforcement involved.
I’m just grateful that no one bearing witness to this yesterday was killed or injured. I know nothing about whoever it was they took.
The point is and I am allowed this opinion whether anyone likes it or not, is this is reminiscent of 1930s Germany. This isn’t any different than soldiers knocking on people’s doors in Berlin or wherever and taking people away.
We are a nation founded upon immigrants, literally.
