Anyone who "puts money on Jim's books" is throwing good money after bad. His own lawyer doesn't want to represent him anymore, and so Jimbo is going pro se like the crazy wench comrade of his that pleaded above that you donate to his cause, and who is on the verge of going to prison herself.
Jim could have shown remorse and gotten himself out of prison early, but he appears to enjoy being a moron and remaining in the company of smelly criminals and rats than in gaining his freedom. He can rot right where he is - sending money will go to no cause other than him paying to use the phone to cry on MezzaCrazy's shoulder.

check out the mess by lower nazereth park where they are going to build homes looks like a breeding ground for mosquitoes.

A Parkland HS assistant principal suddenly resigned last week. Morning Call and WFMZ have not reported on it. Times News online (TNonline.com) had a newspaper article and an online article. There apparently is a South Whitehall PD and Lehigh County DA investigation. Maybe you can find out what is going on and report on it. Seems like someone is trying to hide something.

Noticed Hayden Phillip's website mentions nothing about the tax increase he championed for John Brown last year. Wonder why? He will be at a tea party event Friday night. I wonder if anyone asked him about it.

Northampton county prison b4 hot water was thrown on the officer but the whole block has been locked down since. Everything taken from them. Don't u think the person who did this should be punished not the whole block. They have been understaffed every time I try to visit I can't because they're locked down due to that matter. The inmates are acting out bc there always locked down when they shouldn't have to be. But I think it's wrong to make a block block suffer locked down 24/7 since the day of the incident and still continuing.

Hokie Joe's brother Pokie Joe says;
Today in County Government, Almost all jobs are very skilled or highly technical in nature. They are specialized in that they require higher levels of job skills and knowledge in speciality fields. I'm not talking about the clerk who takes a payment across a counter, I'm talking about the employees who deal with peoples lives and very well being. I'm talking about issues in the drug and alcohol field, aging, children and youth, the court system. When these people make mistakes, lives are affected in a very negative way. These people usually require some college and higher education as well as technical training. these people are very poorly paid for what they have to do.

I work in the Lehigh Valley with many young engineers and similar technical professionals in their 20s and 30s. Responsible men and women earning good salaries. Since many have come here from other areas, we talk a lot about the different areas to live in the Valley. They pretty much all live either in Lower/Upper Macungie or the north side of Bethlehem. Some are homeowners but most aren't. None of them have any interest in living in the NIZ. Comments range from "you go a couple blocks away and it's a ghetto" to "sure, it's nice to have a lot of restaurants next door, but a $45 steak and a few $12 martinis every other night aren't in my budget. I'd rather drive 2 miles for $2 taco night at the Bethlehem golf course."
Other than a few hipsters, I don't understand who these apartments appeal to.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
Bernie, I am not real familiar with the history of this Jim Gregory. I did hear a story from a few people and I am not sure if it is real or just urban myth. They claimed they were told he was a big Democratic political kingmaker and union official. He ended up getting into a real battle with a couple of the top Democratic elected officials. Allegedly he worked for the Republicans. They went on to say the party establishment got to his younger girlfriend and got her to go after him for abuse. He ended up being put away in prison by being railroaded.
ReplyDeleteNo idea if true or if nay of it is true but this is what I heard.
Oh cut it out, Blog Mentor. You know know of this is true. You know that Jim Gregory's biggest problem is Jim Gregory, just like your biggest problem is you.
ReplyDeleteThe Bethlehem golf course clubhouse has excellent food and a friendly staff. I doubt I will take my family to eat in the MIZ as the tab would rival a car payment.
ReplyDeleteIs the Blog Mentor (ie BM) here? Why doesn't he spruce up his website? The Lehigh Valley Nobody's site is as barren as the line at a pay phone.
ReplyDeleteI love the way these shills come here and say "hey, I don't know this person but..." What a load of crap, and it fools no one. Use of the term "kingmaker" is a dead giveaway. The only people he is making kings today are those who brag in the yard about the good time they had with him.
Bernie,
ReplyDeleteAre you deleting posts or is my mind covered in tinfoil like the political parasites wear around towns so the moon beams cant get there brain¿!($
There will be no deletions of sticks back to circus clowns in siberspace propping up the dogs daily toilet tissue¿!($

Philips is a tax and spend fraud.
ReplyDeleteBlog Mentor should be jailed for that libelous sidebar of his.
ReplyDeleteThe mentor is like a fine wine that gets better with age, his silver coif is magnificent his personality magnanimous, his sidebar a journalistic masterpiece it is a living document that will be memorialized like the Magna Carta.
ReplyDeleteHe is a narcissist, as evidenced by the above comment.
ReplyDeleteWhen you have both beauty and brains a lil' narcissism is warranter, jus sayin...
ReplyDeleteThe problem is that you have neither. On top of that you are incapable of telling the truth. You have done a real disservice to the memory of your daughter. Now you can go back to rolling around on the floor and foaming at the mouth.

ReplyDeleteWhat a joke. I visit your website once every couple weeks or month to see what new piece of literary garbage you've posted there, yet it hasn't been updated in months. It's a cesspool of your obsession and hatred and reflects that you are forever stuck in 2006.
You're a legend in your own mind only - not a fine wine, but rather a piece of untreated wood that is rotting from the core outward. Dottie needs to get busy posting something, anything. Maybe recipes for waffles or pancakes.
You have a vicious mean streak O'Hare. The man lost a daughter. That was his real daughter. Not a pretend relative like you like to trot out.
ReplyDeleteStop being such a prick.
Nothing vicious in my assessment. Just honesty. I am not going to allow him or you to pollute this blog with your lies. The only person he cares about is the one he sees in a mirror. And that is also the only person who is hurting him, no matter how many enemies he envisions.
ReplyDeleteBlog Mentor is a damn joke. It's cute that he thinks everyone is afraid of him.
ReplyDeleteHe's a disgrace to his daughter's memory. Losing a loved one doesn't give you the right to be a hate filled asshole. If she's in heaven, he'll never see her again because he's headed straight to hell.
ReplyDeleteThe Mentor is a hung stud who has turned Bernice green with envy, his silver coif, guitar chops, career, family are just a few of the areas the author of this blog is seething over.
ReplyDeleteHaters online only fuel his passion for punishing pusillanimous peons.
You are an inconsequential piece of shit and are too much of a pusillanimous pussy to sign your name.
ReplyDeleteOne of your blog contributors wants me to feel sorry for some poor piece of shit who was locked down in prison. The scum bastard is in prison because he is just that....."A scum bastard". He isn't in prison to socialize, he is in prison to be punished and if he is inconvenienced, tough shit. Stop pampering these prison scum bags and maybe, just maybe the recidivism rate will drop.
