And both campaigns see Jewish voters in seven swing states as key to a potential victory. These seven swing states are swarming with canvassers, knocking on doors, handing out literature and engaging undecided voters in critical conversations.  Joining us for a critical conversation about the Jewish vote in one of those swing states is Aaron Troodler, editor of The Philadelphia Exponent and The Washington Jewish Week.  Aaron, welcome to People of the Pod. Aaron Troodler:   Thank you, Manya, it's a pleasure to be here. Manya Brachear Pashman:   Aaron, you live in the Philadelphia area and have your finger on the political pulse there. Everyone's talking about the impact of Pennsylvania's voters. What makes Pennsylvania so key?  Aaron Troodler:   So I think they're going to have a very significant influence. There are a lot of people saying these days that the path to the presidency runs through Pennsylvania, and I do think that there's a degree of truth to that.  But in fact, I believe that the path to the presidency may very well run through the Jewish community, not just in Pennsylvania, but more specifically, in the greater Philadelphia area. Manya Brachear Pashman:   How much of an influence are they going to have in this election? Aaron Troodler:   Ballpark, the Jewish population in Pennsylvania is estimated somewhere between 400,000, a little bit north of that figure. Of that 400,000 and change, it's estimated that approximately 300,000 or so are of voting age. And when you take into account that in 2020, Joe Biden beat then-President Donald Trump only by about 80,000 votes cast in Pennsylvania.  And then, if you look back to 2016, Donald Trump won by only about 44,000 votes. We're talking about very slim margins here, and the outsized influence of the greater Jewish community is really going to shine through in this election. Manya Brachear Pashman:   Now, are you talking about Philadelphia city proper, or suburban Philadelphia? Is there a difference in how the two vote?  Aaron Troodler:   Great question, Manya, focusing primarily on suburban Pennsylvania. You have, for example, in 2019, the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia–and I know this goes back five years, but it's the most recent data we have–did a population study, a community profile. And they looked at basically five counties, give or take, including Philadelphia County, which includes the city, but also 4 suburban counties: Bucks, Chester, Delaware, and Montgomery.  And approximately at that point– again, dating back five years–but there are approximately 195,000 Jewish households at the time. And that number has grown over the past several years. I won't be able to really quantify it, because we don't have the actual data, but it's a significant number.  And you know, when you take into account that Pennsylvania's Fourth Congressional District, which is represented by Madeleine Dean, it's mostly Montgomery County, which is suburban Philadelphia County. It's got the largest Jewish population in the state, in terms of congressional districts. It's very significant.  And then the second largest is Pennsylvania's first congressional district, which is represented by Brian Fitzpatrick. And again, there are about 40,000 Jewish adults in that district. 54,000 or so, give or take, in the Montgomery County area. We're talking about big numbers.  And I think what's happening now is just by virtue of where we are as a Jewish community, whether it be antisemitism, and being very cognizant of the frightening rise of antisemitism, whether it be on college campuses, city streets, social media platforms. People are very mindful of that, and rightfully so.  And then when you throw into the equation the current situation involving Israel and the reverberations felt around the world just resulting from the Israel-Hamas war post-October 7, the Jewish community, I think, is mobilized now, perhaps even more than ever, to make their voices heard. And to do that, they would be going and voting and making their voices heard through their choices in the election. Manya Brachear Pashman:   You just mentioned the rise of antisemitism. What issues are guiding the Jewish vote? Because I know in years past, concerns about the economy have really steered the Jewish vote. Is that still true in the 2024 election? Aaron Troodler:   It's an interesting point you raise Manya, because I think historically, the Jewish community, and I'm over-generalizing by saying the Jewish community. Obviously, it's comprised of several denominations who historically have had potentially different political leanings. But I think a lot of the domestic issues, whether it be the economy, reproductive rights, taxes, immigration, I mean, I think all these things are on people's radar screens.  However, I think there is a particular emphasis now on Israel. I think that is front and center. I know historically in the Orthodox community, that has been the case. I think that has carried over to the conservative community, the reform community, other communities. And I think the survival of the Jewish state and the health and strength of the US-Israel relationship is paramount to Jewish voters. Not to the exclusion of the other issues that we're talking about on the domestic front.  But I think people are viewing this election through a different lens, just by virtue of the circumstances that we're discussing, that our brethren in Israel are facing. And I think that is really informing people's votes, whether it be for Kamala Harris or Donald Trump. And that's a whole other conversation we could have, but I think that that really is front and center, maybe not the sole factor, but most certainly a primary factor.  Manya Brachear Pashman:   So how does that translate? I mean, many believe that the Biden administration has been quite supportive of Israel. Others believe it has not been supportive enough. Aaron Troodler:   Right. Well, I think the answer depends on who you ask. I think there is a very strong case to be made that the Biden administration and Kamala Harris was obviously a pivotal part of that administration, has been supportive of Israel, and I think there's a lot of conversation that centers around President Biden's response and reaction to October 7, particularly in the immediate aftermath of the Hamas attacks, and how he handled it at that time. I think on the other side of the equation you have people pointing to Donald Trump's presidency and saying, Hey, he perhaps might be the best president that the Jewish community, slash Israel, has ever had, just by virtue of some of the things he did while he was in office.  I think this is all leading to a very spirited debate, a very robust conversation about people who feel very passionate, you know, A or B. And I don't know that there's all that much consensus. I think people that are supportive of Kamala Harris are adamant and positive that she will be best for Israel. And conversely, people who are on the other side of the coin and feel that Donald Trump is their chosen candidate are making the same choice for Donald Trump.  So I don't know that there's a particular answer to that question, but I do firmly believe that that has become a defining issue for the Jewish community. And it's just remarkable to me that people, perhaps I'm over generalizing, you know, 50% of the population is saying, you know, she is absolutely, unquestionably, the best friend that we've had and will have, and then you have the same people saying similar things about Donald Trump.  So it's hard to quantify, but I do think that it has really, really become pervasive, meaning the notion of Israel and the central role that is playing this election, it's absolutely pivotal. And people are, I think, are really making their choices on who to support based on their assessment of those issues.  Manya Brachear Pashman:   Just to clarify, you said the same people are saying that about Trump. You meant the same percentage of people, right? Aaron Troddler:   Correct, give or take. The Jewish Democratic Council of America (JDCA) has done a poll, and they found, you know, over 70% of the Jewish community is supporting Kamala Harris, as opposed to 20-25% for Donald Trump. You have polls, you have data from the Republican Jewish Coalition that shows that half the voters are supporting Donald Trump. These figures are bouncing around. I mean, obviously we've seen in the past polls definitely have value to them, but I think the real test, the real result, won't be really known until election day. Manya Brachear Pashman:   You mentioned denominational differences, but what about generational differences? Are younger Jewish voters leaning toward a particular candidate, or toward particular issues that are different than the ones that concern older voters? Aaron Troodler:   Great question. I'm personally not seeing it. I have young adult children, let's call them, who are invested in terms of who they're voting for. You have people that I encounter that are on the opposite end of the spectrum, perhaps in their golden years, who are very opinionated in terms of who they want to vote for.  I think what's, you know, an interesting thing here, and again, it's not really, I don't know if it's quantifiable by denomination. But I think another thing that is important to mention, Manya, is, you still have, I know we're only several days prior to election day. There's still a healthy amount of people that are, I think, truly undecided. I think a lot of people, particularly in the Jewish community, that I've spoken with and encountered, are really torn.  In Pennsylvania we are getting an absolute barrage of campaign mail, TV ads, canvassers knocking on doors. There's a lot of that, particularly in the Philadelphia suburbs, and a good amount of those, again, I know they're targeting the Jewish community, focus on Israel and antisemitism. And you look at a piece of mail for one particular candidate, and it makes it sound like the other one is the devil. And then flip the coin and it's the opposite for the other candidate. I think people are really trying to cut through the noise and get to the heart of the matter and make their own assessment. You can't really focus on the demographics in terms of age and whatnot.  I think it's an across the board issue that people are focusing on. The people who are pro-Trump are pro-Trump, the people who are pro-Harris are pro-Harris, and then you have this whole sliver in the middle that I think are truly undecided. Even with the election looming large. Manya Brachear Pashman:   Is that just because they're getting conflicting messages, and they're just easily swayed one way or the other, and therefore they're torn, or are they waiting for something? Are they waiting for some deciding factor to reveal itself? Aaron Troodler:   I'm actually not sure if it's either. I don't know that they're waiting for something per se, because if they are, that quote, unquote thing may never come and they have to make a determination. I do feel that there are some in the Jewish community, and I think the Harris campaign has acknowledged this in events that they've had featuring the Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, who obviously is Jewish, who would become the first Jewish first spouse.  But there's been an acknowledgement by renowned and well known surrogates of the Harris campaign that there are some reservations in the Jewish community. They're not giving credence to those hesitations that people might have, in terms of Kamala Harris and her position on Israel, or what that might look like. They're just acknowledging that it's there, and they recognize that they have to speak to that issue.  I think on the flip side of the coin, you have people who are looking at Donald Trump, and say, oh he moved the embassy to Jerusalem, and he recognized Israel's sovereignty over the Golan Heights, and he said that the settlements in the West Bank are not illegal, you know, per se under international law. And people are looking at those and they say, Wow, he did some great stuff.  And then those same people may look at Donald Trump as a candidate and say, Is he the best person for our country? And that's a determination that they're trying to make, and I think are having a lot of trouble doing so just because of the different packed factors that are kind of pulling and tugging at them in different directions.  Manya Brachear Pashman:   I want to go back to the Israel-Hamas war. What about that war are people thinking about when it comes to supporting a candidate? In other words, are they looking at the 101 hostages that are still in captivity, and what the candidates are saying, or how they're treating that situation? Or are they looking at humanitarian aid issues when it comes to Gaza? What are they looking at? Aaron Troodler:   Manya, I think they're looking at all of that, and I think that's all factoring into the equation and the decision making process. And this is where I believe the vice president might be at a little bit of a disadvantage, because she's a prominent member of the current administration, whereas Donald Trump is no longer the president at the moment. And so they're looking at actions of the administration and parsing each move and each statement. And whether or not that moves the needle, I don't know. But I do think that she has a harder hurdle to overcome vis a vis those issues, because people are really looking at statements that she's made, whether it be about the humanitarian aid that you referred to reaching Gaza and the need for that to happen. People are looking to statements that the President, perhaps, has made relative to Israel and their response. And on and off over the past year, there have been a number of times when, reportedly, the US has cautioned Israel or advised Israel not to proceed down a certain path. There's been talk about weapon shipments and delays and stuff of that nature. And I think all of those are issues that Kamala Harris has to contend with, just by virtue of association.  And I think there's a lot of folks in the community saying, you know, what would a Harris presidency look like? You know, we know what a Trump presidency looks like vis a vis Israel. What would the Harris presidency look like?  I will say, you know, the President, the Vice President, has seemingly been very supportive of Israel on the issue of antisemitism. Obviously, the National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism that was unveiled by this current administration was heralded by people as a very necessary move. And I know, obviously the Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, was intimately involved in that as well.  All those things, I think, are factoring into people's decision making process. It's a very complicated decision for many people. And I think that's really something that the Vice President is, I think trying to work through. How does she carve out her own path, and what does that path look like? Manya Brachear Pashman:   How influential is Pennsylvania's Jewish Governor Josh Shapiro in this race? Aaron Troodler:   So the saga of Josh Shapiro is obviously well known at this point. He's a governor who wears his Judaism on his sleeve, very proud of it. Will often quote passages relating to Jewish thought. He talks openly about his Shabbat observances and celebrations with his family. And obviously he was seemingly, reportedly, on the cusp of the vice presidency.  I think what's interesting about Josh Shapiro, aside from his religion, is that he's universally well liked, let's call it. I think his appeal throughout Pennsylvania, it does transcend party lines in many places, just by virtue of his approach to government, his commitment to bipartisanship, and how he's been as a governor. I think there's a lot of appeal. I think the fact that he's become a primary surrogate for the Harris campaign across the country, quite frankly, but more particularly in Pennsylvania. I think people look at that, I think there's certainly a segment of the population that was definitely holding out hope that he might end up as the Vice President of the United States. But I think that you know his willingness to go out on the trail and to and to stump for Kamala Harris and to try and speak about her bona fides as a candidate, and her strengths and what she could do for the country and her vision. I think people are taking note of that, particularly the Jewish community. Whether that will sway everybody to a particular candidate, I don't know. But I definitely do know that people are taking notice of it because people are speaking about it in a favorable way. Manya Brachear Pashman:   What is he saying when he stumps for her? What is he saying to get out all those voters?  Aaron Troodler:   Well, he's trying to paint her as basically, not just the best choice, but the only choice. Obviously, he, I guess it's no secret. I don't think he's really a fan of Donald Trump, and I don't think he pulls any punches when it comes to that regard. But I think in Josh Shapiro's mind, the governor really firmly believes that the Vice President is the best person to lead this country forward.  And I think when you when you factor in all the issues, for example, we talked about domestic issues at the outset of the conversation, when you look at all those issues, and you don't only make it about Israel, there's a thought that perhaps Kamala Harris is that person, and that's the message that Josh Shapiro's trying to convey.  You know, obviously Trump supporters look at that and shake their heads, because they don't buy into that. But I think in terms of the case that he's trying to make to the voters, particularly to Jewish voters, it is a compelling case, because he's a compelling messenger. Manya Brachear Pashman:   You talked about canvassers being all over Pennsylvania, especially the greater Philadelphia area. Can you paint a scene for our listeners? I mean, do you see teams of people walking the streets? Have people knocked on your doors, rung your doorbell? Tell me what kind of things you're seeing. What you see day to day in Greater Philadelphia. Aaron Troodler:   I think I can probably measure the amount of canvassers by the number of door hangers that have been left on my front door over the past several months. There's a huge effort. You have people coming from different states. All descending on Pennsylvania. And there is a particular emphasis on the Jewish community, particularly in suburban Philadelphia.  I was covering an event for the Philadelphia Jewish Exponent a number of weeks ago, where Doug Emhoff came and was the featured speaker at a Get Out The Jewish [Vote] event in a Philadelphia suburb. Ben Stiller was there, the well known actor. Senator Ben Cardin, who is the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, came up from Maryland. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the congresswoman from Florida, was there.  It's a full blown effort on the part of both campaigns to try and cultivate the Jewish vote, try to generate more Jewish support. Both sides of the coin. I think you know, the Republican Jewish Coalition has put a very significant emphasis on this election, whether it be through ads, whether it be through surrogates, whether it be through the canvassers, they're everywhere.  And I think I think it's good. I think it's not only does it underscore the importance of Philadelphia's Jewish community in in an election that literally has national implications, but it enables people. When somebody knocks on your door, if you answer the door, you can engage in a dialogue. Obviously they are slanted to a particular candidate, whether it be Kamala Harris or Donald Trump, and that's fine, but it gives voters who perhaps are still undecided at this point the opportunity to have a conversation with the folks who are knocking on their doors about the issues that are important to them.  But I think just by virtue of the sheer number of canvassers who have been kind of traversing our neighborhoods over the past several weeks, I think it's indicative of the outsized role that Philadelphia's Jewish community's playing in the presidential election. Manya Brachear Pashman:   You mentioned Governor Shapiro is kind of a surrogate for the Harris-Walz campaign. Does the Trump campaign have a surrogate in Pennsylvania or in the Philadelphia area? Aaron Troodler:   So they have people who are coming around. There's Peter Deutsch, who's a former congressman from Florida, who's a democratic congressman from Florida, came up to not just Pennsylvania, but the greater Philadelphia area, in particular, to spend several weeks. I know he was here over the Sukkot holiday. You know, they are bringing folks in because they're trying to make the case to people that look, you know, when it comes to the issues that you, the Jewish community, cares about, Donald Trump's your man.  And they are doing that, and they're trying to do it in a way that will resonate with people. And we mentioned some high profile people on the Democratic side. You know there are people on the Republican side, whether it's Congressman Deutsch, other people are coming in. The RJC has been very active in the community recently.  And in addition to official campaign surrogates, you know you have conversations happening in synagogues, you know, community institutions, where regular folks are conversing with one another. So each campaign, in addition to the, let's call them the official surrogates, you have these armies of unofficial surrogates who are talking with one another and trying to convince their peers to vote for a particular candidate. And with all the holidays that we just had on the Jewish calendar, spent a lot of time in shul, in the synagogue, and there's a lot of folks talking about the presidential election. And I'll tell you, quite frankly, there's no consensus. There are people that are absolutely pro-Trump, and they're people that are absolutely pro-Harris. And I think those folks are trying to impart to what's called the undecided people, their feelings about the campaign and their particular candidates.  Manya Brachear Pashman:   I do want to clarify for listeners, Peter Deutsch should not be confused with Ted Deutch, AJC CEO, who has not been in Pennsylvania canvassing as a surrogate for either candidate. It's a different Deutsch. But what about rabbis? How involved are rabbis getting into this campaign? How involved have they been in these conversations? Aaron Troodler:   So it's interesting. Whenever you broach the topic of politics from the pulpit, it becomes very tricky. Obviously, there's 501(c)(3) status considerations and stuff of that nature that I think rabbis are always mindful of. So what they talk about from the pulpit and how they talk about it is usually done very carefully and deliberately. That all being said, there's no question that maybe, behind the scenes, let's call it, rabbis, have very distinct opinions about this.  How that will sway congregants in their respective congregations, it's hard to know. But I do think, I think because rabbis have spent so much time over the past year, post-October 7, talking about these issues of Israel's security and survival and the things that we need to do to help Israel, this is just another step in that process. Obviously, the next President of the United States is going to play a pivotal role in Israel's future and Israel's security.  The relationship between the US and Israel is paramount, and Israel depends heavily on the United States, whether it be for the military aid, strategic aid and cooperation. And on the other side of the coin, the United States relies on Israel for many national and security considerations.  But I think because rabbis have spent so much time talking about that stuff, it's top of mind for everybody. It's at the forefront of all of our minds. And whether or not they get up from the pulpit and endorse a particular candidate, I'm not sure that's going to happen in most situations, but there's no question that rabbis are trying to convey to their congregants the importance of ensuring that Israel has a strong friend and ally in the White House. Manya Brachear Pashman:   Aaron, thank you so much for joining us and shedding a little light on what's going on in your neck of the woods.  Aaron Troodler:   Of course Manya, thank you so much for having me. It was a pleasure chatting with you.  Manya Brachear Pashman:   If you missed last week's episode, be sure to tune in for a conversation with AJC Jerusalem Director Lt. Col. Avital Leibovich, and AJC Chief Policy and Political Affairs Officer, Jason Isaacson, about the Israeli Defense Force's elimination of Yahya Sinwar, the architect of the October 7 terror attacks.

Daughter to the Oval Office's current incumbent, Ashley Biden, has an outstanding debt of $5,000 in income taxes dating back to 2015, as revealed by a recently accessed tax lien docket. It's worth mentioning that liens are legal measures taken by the government and placed on properties or assets when taxes remain unpaid despite numerous collection attempts. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania informed Ms. Biden through the Department of Revenue in Philadelphia County on December 1st about the newly imposed lien. This arises from unpaid taxes, interest, and penalties associated; in such cases, the taxpayers are required to give up the right to their assets, whether actual properties, personal assets, or both. Possibly brushing all nuances aside, the timeline of this lien is no less interesting; it begins on the first day of 2015 when her father Joseph Biden was serving as Vice President under President Obama's administration. The end date listed strikes a close proximity to when the current President was inaugurated, that is, January 1, 2021. Despite several requests made for a comment, neither Ashley Biden nor her legal representative has responded yet. This certainly can't help but remind us of President Biden's constant assertion about a particular segment of the population, who he often refers to as wealthy and well-connected, not paying their fair share of taxes, while his own children seem to have defaulted on theirs. Drawing our attention to the matter, Garrett Ziegler, the originator of the Marco Polo nonprofit, and once an aide to former President Trump, made a comparison that might give us pause. 'The scale may not be on par with Hunter, but isn't it interesting both the President's living children find themselves in a similar tax situation?' Ziegler pointed out in an interview with Fox News Digital last Friday.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Felon Must Pay Restitution to Each Victim John James Succi appealed pro se from the order dismissing his "Motion to Vacate Restitution/Sentencing." In Commonwealth Of Pennsylvania v. John James Succi, No. 229 EDA 2022, No. J-S22022-22, Superior Court of Pennsylvania (February 28, 2023) the Superior Court gave consideration to the pro se motions of the convicted felon. FACTS In a prior appeal, a panel of the Pennsylvania Superior Court summarized the facts leading to the underlying convictions as follows: Succi was a residential and commercial contractor. Beginning in 2005 and continuing through 2013, Succi entered into thirteen contracts to build, remodel, or construct additions on certain properties located in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania, and Margate, New Jersey. In each instance, Succi either failed to finish the work, failed to obtain necessary permits, failed to perform under the contract, claimed he was insured when he was not, or provided fraudulent receipts. It was also typical for Succi to quote a price for a particular project and then increase the costs. If the homeowner challenged Succi's work practices, he threatened them with legal proceedings that would financially cripple the homeowners. In at least two instances, Succi placed mechanic's liens on homeowners' properties. [Commonwealth v. Succi, 480 EDA 2015 (unpub. memo. at 1-2) (Pa. Super. Jan. 5, 2017).] Succi was charged with multiple counts of home improvement fraud, theft by deception, and deceptive business practices, and one count of insurance fraud. Succi was convicted of 12 counts each of deceptive business practices and theft by deception, two counts of home improvement fraud, and one count of insurance fraud. SENTENCING HEARING The sentencing hearing proceeded with victim impact testimony presented by the Commonwealth, and character evidence presented by Succi. The trial court sentenced Succi to an aggregate term of 15 to 30 years' imprisonment, imposing consecutive sentences with respect to each victim. After announcing the sentence for each criminal conviction, the court imposed restitution, as requested by the Commonwealth. Succi filed a direct appeal and argued: several convictions were barred by the statute of limitations; jurisdiction and venue in the Bucks County Court of Common Pleas was improper; and the "life sentence" imposed by the trial court was unconstitutional and illegal. The Appellate Court affirmed the judgment of sentence, and the Pennsylvania Supreme Court denied allocatur review. THE PRO SE MOTION The trial court entered an order denying Succi relief. The court explained that it considered Succi's motion to be a second, untimely PCRA petition, and it had no jurisdiction to address Succi's claim. Moreover, the May 20, 2015, order - which Succi claims the court, belatedly and without conducting a hearing, added restitution to his sentence - makes no mention of any restitution amounts which had been set at sentencing. The trial court's order was affirmed. ZALMA OPINION Victims of crime must make certain that the state prosecutor, after convicting the criminal, like Succi, must demand restitution. The victims did so in this case and the prosecutor effectively obtained, at sentencing, an order of restitution. Succi, sentenced to many years in prison may never be able to pay the ordered restitution unless there are assets that could be taken to pay the restitution. Regardless, convicted felons have nothing but time so he wasted the appellate courts time by bringing this pro se motion which failed. He will remain in the Gray Bar Hotel for the next 15 to 30 years. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/barry-zalma/support

It's Friday, November 11th, A.D. 2022. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. By Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) Muslim terrorists kill 3 in Congo, Africa In the Democratic Republic of Congo, Africa, the Muslim Allied Democratic Forces killed three people, including a one-month-old baby, in the early morning of November 9th, reports International Christian Concern. The Islamic terrorists looted and burned a hospital in the city of Kabasha along with several other shops and lit several vehicles on fire.    One resident said, “We were woken up in the middle of the night by gunshots in the air and people screaming. We did not hesitate. We left the house and hid in the bushes, hoping they would not find us. The attack lasted almost an hour as the rebels ransacked shops and the health center and set them on fire. They also burnt down vehicles.” According to Open Doors, Congo is the 40th most dangerous country for Christians in the world. 2 Timothy 3:12 says, “All who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.” Pro-life, Republican Governors won re-election bids Some key Republican governors doubled down on their pro-life values and saw success at the polls on Tuesday, reports The Washington Stand. Georgia Governor Brian Kemp, Texas Governor Greg Abbott, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine, and Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds each championed life from six weeks on by signing a heartbeat bill. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed into law protections for unborn life after 15 weeks. Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt signed HB 4327 this year, protecting life from conception. Alabama Governor Kay Ivey signed off on her state's Human Life Protection Act. New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu and Idaho Governor Brad Little signed into law protections for life after the unborn baby's viability at 24 weeks. Each one of those nine Republican governors, who signed key pro-life bills into law, won handily on Tuesday. Kari Lake, GOP candidate for Arizona Governor, is 100% confident Appearing on the Glenn Beck radio program, Kari Lake, the Republican candidate for Arizona Governor, said the Leftists are trying to control the narrative by counting the votes painfully slowly. LAKE: “I think what we've learned in the past several election cycles is that our election officials can control the narrative. It's real easy, by the amount of votes they release. That's what we have going on here. It's been politicized.” Lake said she was 100% confident that she will win the election when they finally count all the votes. LAKE: “We are going to win. I'm 100% confident in that! I'm looking right now at the latest numbers I got. There are 622,000 votes left to be counted here in Arizona, and they're slow rolling to count more than 24 hours past the election. Yesterday, they only counted just over 60,000 votes.” BECK: “How is that possible?” LAKE: “This is outrageous! They're doing this intentionally, in my opinion. They're not speeding this up as they should. And let me just tell you why we're going to win. “There are 384,414 Election Day mail-in ballot drop-offs. Now, these are the people who don't trust bringing it down and putting it in one of those drop boxes. These are the people who don't necessarily trust even the Postal Service with their mail-in ballot. They walked it into a polling place on Election Day.” BECK: “Wow!” LAKE: “We already know those are going to trend heavily toward us, two to one, maybe even three to one. There's a huge majority left to be counted there. “We also have 17,000 ‘Drawer Three.'  Those were the ones who when they showed up at their polling place on Election Day, ‘Oh wow! The machines aren't working. Just put your ballot over here in Draw Number Three.' And we have a provisional ballots -- 16,000. These are ballots, the vast majority that are to be counted, that are going to go heavily to us. BECK: “Right.” LAKE: “And we know we're going to win this. They're trying to delay the inevitable. They wanted to write the obituary of the America First movement on election night.” Proof Democrats cheated in Pennsylvania It would appear, based on undercover footage captured by Project Veritas, that Democratic operatives were illegally electioneering in Pennsylvania, reports The Blaze. James O'Keefe, the founder, said this. O'KEEFE: “Project Veritas Action journalists were told who to vote for just mere feet outside a polling center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania today.  This is referred to as electioneering.” The Philadelphia County election board states that no one is allowed to influence the vote within 10 feet to the entrance of a polling room where voting machines are located. O'KEEFE: “Not only are Democratic candidates' campaign materials posted at the door where the voting machines are located, watch as our undercover journalists are handed instructions on exactly how to vote within arm's reach of the door.” UNDERCOVER REPORTER: “So, you're telling me I should vote John Fetterman. I should vote Joshua Shapiro.” DEMOCRATIC OPERATIVE: “If you vote Democrat, all of them are the Democratics.” When the undercover Project Veritas reporter asked why he should vote a straight Democrat Party ticket, this is what the Democratic operative said within feet of the polling door illegally. DEMOCRATIC OPERATIVE: “These are more or less liberals who can help with the poor guy.” And he described Republicans, including Mehmet Oz, this way. DEMOCRATIC OPERATIVE:  “I would say these are generally people trying to save their money.” Fetterman emerged with 50.3 percent of the vote, defeating Oz by three percentage points.  It's difficult to know how much of this illegal electioneering swayed voters on the fence. Proverbs 11:1 says, “The LORD detests dishonest scales, but accurate weights find favor with Him.” Zuckerberg fired 13% of Facebook staff And finally, hours after Meta, the parent company of Facebook, announced it was laying off 13% of its staff, CEO Mark Zuckerberg addressed employees virtually on Wednesday around 1:00pm Eastern, reports CNBC. A Meta employee, who was fired, provided this video to NBC News. ZUCKERBERG: “I take full responsibility for this decision. I'm the founder and CEO. I'm responsible for the health of our company, for our direction, and for deciding how we execute that, including things like this. This was ultimately my call. One of the hardest calls that I've had to make in the 18 years of running the company.” Shares of Meta plunged 24.5% on October 27th as investors and analysts digested the company's third-quarter earnings miss and a weak fourth-quarter outlook. Shares closed at $97.94, the lowest price since 2016.  By contrast, on September 7, 2021, Meta's stock price hit $382.

What can Judges do to help prevent recidivism and how can we make our society better? The Neoliberal Round Podcast met up with the Hon. Judge Stephanie M. Sawyer who was a speaker at the Day of Community Enlightenment in Germantown Philadelphia. We interviewed some of the attendees, local business talent promoting their craft. Ms. Jackson, author of “I'm not hypocrite I'm human,” talked about the event at the beginning and provided insights into the aim of the program. Who is Hon. Juliet M. Sawyer? Hon. Stephanie Sawyer Judge, Court of Common Pleas Although Stephanie M. Sawyer was born in Queens, New York, her home city is the City of Philadelphia where she was raised and has continuously lived since, she was a very little girl. She is a product of the Philadelphia public school system attending J.R. Masterman, Philadelphia High School for Girls, and she went on to earn her undergraduate and law degrees from Temple University. Judge Sawyer is a single parent of two children who was raised by a single parent where she learned her commitment to the community and her understanding that hard work is the key to success. Judge Sawyer is currently a Municipal Court Judge in Philadelphia County, having her judicial nomination confirmed by the state senate on June 30, 2014, she was then sworn in on July 16, 2014. Prior to this appointment, Judge Sawyer was the sole practitioner of her own Center City based law office which she maintained for almost two decades. What was interesting was the passion with which she shared about how judges were part of the problem and how they can be part of the solution in relation to incarcerations, convictions and the mitigating recidivism. She talked about her efforts as a Judge and member of society and community to raise awareness and provide opportunities to vulnerable populations and those re-entering society to develop certain literacy skills, such as business and critical thinking. In fact, she revealed that she will be launching a foundation to this end in the beginning of November 2022, (Th Neoliberal Round Podcast will be present at the event.) Thank you for Listening!

This week we're replaying a classic episode where your hosts Steve Lowry and Yvonne Godfrey Robert Mongeluzzi of Saltz Mongeluzzi & Bendesky (https://www.smbb.com/).    Remember to rate and review GTP in iTunes: Click Here To Rate and Review   Episode Details: Trial Lawyer Hall of Fame inductee Robert Mongeluzzi of Saltz Mongeluzzi & Bendesky shares how he successfully represented the families of nine customers and employees who were killed or seriously injured in the collapse of a Salvation Army Thrift Store in Philadelphia on June 5, 2013. Nearly two weeks before the collapse of an unsupported four-story brick masonry structure onto the one-story store, Salvation Army officials were warned about the risks posed to the Thrift Store due to ongoing demolition of neighboring properties. The Salvation Army chose to ignore the warnings and failed to notify customers or employees of the danger, resulting in seven fatalities and numerous injuries. After a high-profile 15-week trial, Robert Mongeluzzi convinced the Philadelphia jury that this was no accident, securing a liability verdict, with 75% of the liability for the customers assigned to the Salvation Army and the liability for the employees divided among property owner Richard Basciano, the architect and other parties. Following the liability verdict, Robert Mongeluzzi settled the case for $227 million in the damages phase.  Click Here to Read/Download Trial Documents   Guest Bio: Robert J. Mongeluzzi Robert J.

This week your hosts Steve Lowry and Yvonne Godfrey interview Frank Mangiaracina of Kline & Specter PC (https://www.klinespecter.com/).    Remember to rate and review GTP in iTunes: Click Here To Rate and Review   Episode Details: Philadelphia-based personal injury attorney Frank Mangiaracina with Kline & Specter PC discusses how he secured justice for David Coryell, a motorcycle driver involved in an automobile wreck with a delivery driver employed by a Domino's franchise. On July 27, 2016, defendant Steven Morris was driving a delivery vehicle to deliver Domino's food when he made a sudden left turn into oncoming traffic, crashing his vehicle into David and his motorcycle. David suffered severe physical and emotional injuries from this incident. After numerous operations, he was left with the decision to either amputate his left leg or experience permanent and progressive pain. Despite the defense's attempts to claim that Domino's did not have control over a franchisee's operations and therefore could not be held accountable for the actions of a franchisee's employee, Mangiaracina established that Domino's and the franchisee have a “master-servant relationship,” arguing that Domino's did, in fact, have control over the franchisee and therefore should be held responsible. The jury agreed, and on August 13, 2021, a Philadelphia County jury returned a $2,009,553 verdict in favor of plaintiff David Coryell.     Click Here to Read/Download Trial Documents   Guest Bio: Frank Mangiaracina Frank Mangiaracina focuses his practice on catastrophic personal injury. He is a staunch advocate and proven trial lawyer who helped compile more than $60 million in recoveries in the five years before coming to Kline & Specter.  Most recently, in a COVID-era trial during the summer of 2021, Mangiaracina won a $2.1 million verdict against Domino's Pizza for a client who suffered severe and permanent injuries to his leg when his motorcycle was struck by a delivery driver. As co-lead counsel at trial, Mangiaracina gave a closing argument that helped convince the jury that Domino's was responsible for the actions of a franchisee.  He was also co-counsel in litigation that achieved a $44 million pre-trial settlement in a product liability case for an oil rig worker who was left a quadriplegic after he was struck by a falling light fixture.  In medical malpractice cases, among others, Mangiaracina helped win settlements of $5.5 million, $5 million and $3.5 million for, respectively, failures to timely diagnose stroke, diagnose and treat sepsis and to treat an aortic aneurysm.  These recoveries were made with Mangiaracina's prior firm, Sheridan & Murray LLC in Fort Washington, Pa. He also worked as an attorney at Berger & Montague in Philadelphia and as a law clerk with the Philadelphia firm of Saltz, Mongeluzzi & Bendesky.  Because of his litigation success, Mangiaracina has been named a Pennsylvania Rising Star by Super Lawyers for four consecutive years (2019-2022). The independent lawyers survey group recognizes the top 2.5 percent of attorneys in the state who are 40 or younger.  Mangiaracina earned his law degree at the Temple University Beasley School of Law, where he graduated magna cum laude, in the top five percent of his class and was a member of the Order of the Coif honor society. He was, simultaneously, staff editor for the Temple Law Review and a member of Temple's renowned National Trial Team, which placed in the semifinals of the National Institute of Trial Advocacy's “Tournament of Champions,” an invitation-only competition.  At Temple, Mangiaracina won several awards and scholarships, including the Integrated Trial Advocacy Graduation Award, the Benjamin and Natalie Levin Memorial Scholarship, the Class of 1978 Scholarship and the Faculty Law Scholarship.

The work of Anissa Lewis dives into memory, yet is entrenched in her current community. Her photographs depict the present-day area in Covington, Kentucky, where Lewis grew up, and addresses the societal changes such as race, identity and relationships that have impacted the area over time. Images of the former residents are superimposed over images of the houses, to tell the stories of the people who made up the neighborhood decades ago. Lewis’s community-based signs address the here-and-now of citizenry, giving individual voices space to speak positively together. Lewis’s artistic work is intertwined with the community, and is constantly engaging with and responding to how the community shifts and changes over time.    In this episode, she describes her shift from a more traditional art background to finding and embracing social practice art. Anissa R. Lewis, community and teaching artist, was born and raised in Covington, KY by way of Philadelphia, PA—where she relocated after receiving her MFA from Yale School of Art.  Lewis’ deep belief in community, identity and voice led her to many projects and collaborations including: an arts-based women empowerment classes for a Philadelphia County prison drug and alcohol abuse unit; a rites of passage program for black and brown teenage girls; student driven mural projects aimed to address civic engagement, neighborhood relationships and identity, and others.    Lewis’ work focuses on the power of place in her hometown neighborhood for which she has received a Creative Community Grant from the Center for Great Neighborhoods.  Her photo-based prints, love letter yard signs and maps seek to reconcile her memories of childhood with the present-day neighborhood's changing social fabric, identity and the architecture of homes still present and those lost.  “While walking down a street in my hometown, many of my childhood friends’ homes are either boarded up or gone and now exist as open lots.  The change of the neighborhood does not stop at physical structures, but includes race, age, socioeconomics, a community’s identity/culture, its aspirations and relationships.  At the end of my walk down the street and memory lane, I realized that the neighborhood where I grew up no longer exists.  New stories lay atop mine.  This is nothing new in and of itself.  I accept my insider/outsider perspective created by my relationship to a place that lives in a time past rather than what is physically present now.   ​ In my photo-based prints, I seek to reconcile past and current my thoughts and experiences regarding these separate yet overlapping places about my childhood neighborhood.  I do this by taking childhood photos and transposing them atop current houses in the neighborhood.  As such, I am attempting to have a conversation about:  What are the new stories alive and here now?  Who is telling these new stories?  In what ways do they differ from mine?  What, if anything, remains from years ago that resonates with what now exists?  Or, are stories and experiences parallel to the point where one longtime resident said, “I feel like a stranger in my own neighborhood." -AL   TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE:   -Discovering things you thought weren’t for you but now are for you. -Where you are born and where you find community -Being Different-all valid and important to celebrate - FInding support and the importance in that -When a one year sabbatical turns into a more substantial stay. -Working for a non-profit about conflict resolution -Discovering an interest in mixed-media -The early 2000s was not as community based in terms of art practice -Wanting to give back -Navigating becoming a social practice artist -”Do not need to split myself and do this art or that art.” -Being civically engaged -Believing in the power or words -Neo Soul -You are always right on time -Dare to be clear and dare to be deliberate in your work -Inappropriate comparisons   Thank you to our sponsor Sunlight Tax!

Mortgage forbearance will rock local governments with fewer property tax payments being made by servicers and homeowners. Join host Sean Reynolds as he discusses why the property tax component of mortgage forbearance will impact local governments significantly in the coming months. The economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic are crystal clear, and so are the results of some efforts to alleviate financial hardships. Ginnie Mae and the Federal Housing Finance Agency have mandated servicers of FHA, VA, and GSE (Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac) loans to offer forbearance plans to their borrowers & this requirement was codified by Congress in the CARES Act. Borrowers using those plans have soared into the millions.When the mandate was announced, there was concern about the advances of principal and interest (P&I) payments that servicers are required to make to investors in mortgage-backed securities even when borrowers are not paying on their loans. Servicers are also responsible for homeowner insurance premiums and property taxes.When these advances are made servicers source the capital from their own balance sheet, typically in the form of a line of credit they hold with another financial institution or even with their own cash reserves. This arrangement is intended to be short-term as the outlays are eventually reimbursed by the applicable guarantor. Eventually, however, this can be a problem when forbearances are granted on a large scale, and liabilities may outstrip available assets of some servicers, especially the non-bank type who may hold less capital than bank servicers with their retail deposit base.Both Ginnie Mae and FHFA have made program and policy changes to provide relief to servicers, especially for the P&I advances but little has been said about tax and insurance advances. The disruption to local municipalities who depend on property tax payments being made will be significant. Some of the top 20 (and many other) MSAs/Counties are already making contingency plans. Los Angeles County has not extended their expected liquidity date (ELD) for property tax payments but has announced the availability of workout plans for delinquent taxpayers. Philadelphia County has moved their ELD to July to give taxpayers extra time to make their payments and King County (Seattle) has extended its deadline for non-escrow account borrowers from April to June. these and other mitigation efforts suggest that municipalities are aware of the risk of a drop in property tax revenues and he expects mitigation efforts to spread over the coming weeks.

Vi skal tilbake til USA igjen. Denne gangen skal vi ut av Missippi og til Øst og vestkystene. Her skal vi være en stund fremover. Først skal vi til en novemberdag ved Elizbeth Lund Home For Unwed Mothers i Burlington i Chittenden County i Vermont i 1946 og til fødselen til Theadore Robert Cowell (bedre kjent som Ted Bundy). Per og Henrik snakker om han som person, barndommen hans, ungdomsårene og at han var gift fra 1979 til 1986. Ted og moren Louise bodde hos foreldrene til Louise på Østkysten i Philadelphia i Philadelphia County i Pennsilvaniya fra 1946 til 1949. I 1951 flyttet han og moren til vestkysten og til Seattle i King, County i Washington State. Her gikk Ted på skole og jobbet fram til 1974. Han gikk ut fra University of Washington i 1972 med utmerkelser i pyskologi. I 1973 begynte han å studere juss. Etter dette hadde han noen jobber innenfor både psykologi og juss, blant annet var han assisterende direktør ved The Seattle Crime Prevention Advisory Commition. Han giftet seg også under en rettsak i Florida i 1979. Vi forlater Ted Bundy for denne gang, men i neste uke graver vi dypere ned i drapene, rettsaken, straffen han fikk osv. Så heng med!----------We're going back to the United States again. This time we are going out of Mississippi and to the East and West coasts. And we`ll be staying here for a while.

Getting an offer on your home is easy in this market. What’s not easy is making it all the way to the closing table without a Realtor’s assistance.Right now, it’s a feeding frenzy in the real estate market. We are seeing near-2007 levels of sales prices and pace. You might think selling today would be easy. You’d be partly right. It is easy to get an offer, but it’s much harder to get to the closing date with the offer still intact. I want to share a few important thoughts with you today about how you can make it through your transaction with a little helping hand.When a buyer makes an offer on your home, there are generally 10 to 20 different people involved in the transaction. You might have a few different buyers, with each of them having a loan officer, an underwriter, an appraiser, a home inspector, and more. There are a lot of expectations to manage and being able to negotiate all the way through to closing is the hard part of the transaction.Our job is to give you the best advice possible. Our job as Realtors is to give you the best advice possible. When we review offers with you, we will find out about the buyer’s credit, income, and probability of securing their loan on closing day. We also want to make sure you are protected throughout the inspection process by recommending which repairs to make and referring you to someone who can help you out for a fair price.If you market your home right, stage it, and price it correctly, you’ll get an offer. However, it will be hard for you to get to the closing table without the help of an experienced professional. If you’re thinking about selling your home, give us a call and we’ll pair you up with a team member who is an expert in your area. We cover Chester County, Delaware County, Montgomery County, parts of Philadelphia County, and the entire state of Delaware.

If you’ve had unprotected sex the only way to know if you’ve been infected with the HIV is to take a quick saliva or blood test. It’s free and it's easy. And then whether you’re negative or positive you can get on with life and, if you test positive, start the really important early treatment. Today people with HIV who get treatment can live a normal life. But if they don’t -- if they avoid the test and treatment -- in around 10 to 15 years HIV so severely damages their immune system that AIDS develops. It hasn’t always been so easy to get tested and treated for HIV. For 22 years, Philadelphia FIGHT, a comprehensive health services organization providing primary care, consumer education, research, and advocacy for people living with HIV/AIDS has hosted an entire month of free workshops, trainings, and outreach about HIV and AIDS. This year, Life of the Law traveled to Philly to take part in Philadelphia Fight’s inspiring work. On June 15th we presented LIVE LAW - Beyond the Walls: Prison Positive...stories told by people who have done the testing and been tested in the city’s jails and prison. Jessica Falcon produced and hosted Beyond the Walls: Prison Positive and has our first story. Jessica’s pursuing a PhD in biomedical engineering, but uses her spare time to advocate for the HIV positive population in Philadelphia. She is deeply motivated by the cause and says she has chosen activism as her passion. Waheedah Shabazz-El describes herself as a 50-plus African-American Muslim woman and retired U.S. postal worker who was diagnosed with AIDS in 2003.Sonia Williams is the program officer at First Hospital Foundation, a local health foundation that supports programs that serve the most vulnerable populations in Philadelphia County. While completing her Masters in Public Health, she conducted her internship at the Philadelphia Prison System.Odessa Summers has been the Prison Medical Case Manager at ActionAIDS for 8 years. She’s been doing HIV work for 15 years.Dr. Debra D'Aquilante is a board-certified Infectious Disease specialist for Corizon Health who has been seeing patients in the Philadelphia Prison System for 22 years.
