| Scheller and the Lynch mob |
Lisa's Ties to China. - Scheller owns Silberline Manufacturing, which produces aluminum pigments. This company derives much of its revenue from two manufacturing sites in China. A third plant might be on the way. She also has a partnership with a Chinese Company controlled by that country's communist party. She's helping China build roads. We should have learned by now that our national security is imperiled when we do business with our adversaries, but Scheller is expanding it, and at the cost of American jobs. In Congress, would Scheller be representing the Lehigh Valley or her own business interests? I would prefer that we not have to ask that question. If you believe in our national security, it is a mistake to vote for Scheller. If you want to sell out to China, then vote for her.
Lisa's Confusing Abortion Views. - In a primary debate, Scheller said life begins at conception, described herself as pro-life and went so far as to declare she was "open" to making it a federal crime to perform an abortion once there's a detectable heartbeat. She declared she'd never agree to codify Roe v. Wade. On her website, this pro-lifer has watered down her abortion opposition to late-term abortions. while still proclaiming that she supports a "culture of life." She's twisted herself into a pretzel on this one. By trying to be all things to all people, she's become nothing to anyone. If you support the right to choose or a ban on abortion, I don't see how you can support Scheller.
Lisa's Ties to Extremists. - Scheller is closely tied to two extremists.
One of them is tea Party Chieftan Tom Carroll, who lost a race for NorCo DA after a former black assistant DA called him out for placing a toy "loudmouth" gorilla in her office as a joke. Carroll, who incidentally is one of the fake electors falsely certifying a Trump victory in 2020, accompanied her at numerous campaign events and refused to allow her challenger to address the local tea party this year.
The other extremist is none other than failed NorCo Exec candidate Steve Lynch. He has lately morphed from a toxic male who challenged me to a duel into something of a drama queen. He posted several Facebook Lives after being banned from a Facebook page. And oh yeah, Nazareth police had to be called after he refused the owner's demand that he leave a private restaurant on Labor Day, where Republicans were having some kind of meeting. he was getting out of hand, instead of helping fellow Republicans get elected.
Scheller employed Lynch as her personal trainer. She fired him as a field director in her 2020 campaign. She has maintained close ties with him and has socialized with him and other far-right elements within the GOP.
This might be considered "inside baseball" by some, but Jeanie Morgano has noticed the connection, and has actually made her concerns known at Lehigh Valley Live.
She has continued to embrace a narcissist who (1) was part of a mob that invaded the capitol on January 6; (2) threatened to storm a school board with 20 strong men and physically remove democratically elected school directors; and (3) is disrupting what's left of normal Republicans in Northampton County in the middle of an election cycle.
Scheller could have distanced herself from Lynch and Carroll, but chooses to surround herself with the worst and most extreme Republicans.
Maybe she's just being polite. I'd rather not take a chance. I'm no Susan Wild fan, but am a fan of democracy so I'll be voting for her over those thugs.
I'm glad you recognize the significance of not supporting those who would overthrow our federal government. (And I can't believe that needs to be said, anytime or anywhere.)
ReplyDeleteWild voting with Biden and Pelosi on every tissdue that should tell you enough.
ReplyDeleteActual ties to China that present a danger to American interests are found primarily in the current Democratic Party-led Federal Administration. Those connections have been much more significant to how our nation is managed.
ReplyDeleteI am not particularly concerned about Lisa Scheller’s company operations in China. In the whole scheme of things they have minimal impact on me. Surely, outfits like Walmart and Amazon have greater impact on commerce here because of their participation with China.
Agreed, Susan Wild has been a disappointment in Congress. There is NOTHING bi-partisan about her voting record in Congress. Wild is fully onboard with the likes of Nancy Pelosi and the Biden Administration. We need someone different in that seat, so that means Lisa Scheller gets my vote. I’m registered Independent.
China cannot be trusted !
ReplyDeleteIf you like inflation high gas and energy prices, open border bad stock market, vote for Wild.
ReplyDeleteBO,
ReplyDeleteThank for listing the many reasons why we should not vote for Scheller, she is a bum.
Maybe you should just attend a Scheller rally. That will make you like and support her. Worked for Mehmet Oz.
ReplyDelete"I'm no Susan Wild fan, but am a fan of democracy so I'll be voting for her"
ReplyDeleteThe same Susan Wild who tacitly ignored what Palowski was doing right under her nose in Allentown and denied she knew? She reeks of corrupt politics not the sweet smell of democracy.
You are nuts...
I not a fan of either candidate. Wild showing support at NCC for Fetterman should have as much "you're not qualified" weight to it as Scheller's support for Lynch. Scheller's philanthropy does have some have some pull to me but the connections to China are concerning. There is no third party candidate on the ballot, though. Maybe I'll write someone in.
ReplyDeletePrinciples Bernie. If you won't vote for "ties to China" why would you vote for Biden again? I know you believe everything the Washington Post puts out I purposely picked it just for you. I am prepared for you to say that was his son not Joe. If just Hunter why did Joe need keys to the office with his "office mates"? Left wing article below. My favorite part is "Please have keys made available for new office mates” Joe Biden, Jill Biden, and Jim Biden, as well as for “Gongwen Dong (Chairman Ye CEFC emissary)

It is unfortunate that you are focusin on her China connections. In a world marketplace, we all have a lot of items made in China. Many times manufacturers must buy product from China.
ReplyDeleteI am sure she has an answer for any question people may pose regarding her Chinese connections. In addition, the BIG MAN and his son have some connections, but it doesn't seem to be a topic for current media. And their connections are much more nefarious. Will you be commenting on our POTUS anymore regarding that issue or how the FBI ignored it all before the election?
No Candidate can be perfect, but I am tired of the career politicians. Very tired. And I will vote LS and give her a chance over SW. As for Lynch, she needs to kick him to the curb if she still had dealings with him.
For all the things that shackle Scheller, she isn’t shackled by a voting record that mirrors that of Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff.
ReplyDeleteFor all of her faults, she isn’t a radical Liberal in the Marxist camp of the Dem Party, spending her time masquerading as a moderate.
People in this area need to research Susan Wilds actions in Washington and understand she is not the person she portrays herself to be in commercials.
I have plenty of Democrat friends, none of whom mirror Wilds radical legislating via her established voting record.
Susan Wild must go. She’s wrong for this area.
Wild is for all isues that are killing the American people.
ReplyDeleteI'm an independent, but lean left. I'm not a fan of Nancy Pelosi, but I don't hate her either. But, I've heard people spew such hatred and vitriol toward her that I just turn it off and don't take those people seriously, despite their attempts of claiming being "moderate", "independent" or using another milk toast synonym. No, you're not. There is nothing independent about you if you continue to spout that all of society's problems are caused by one person. MAGAs scream about Trump derangement syndrome, but gosh, I'm starting to think that Pelosi derangement syndrome is real.
ReplyDeleteLook in the mirror, analyze your comments and realize that "Nancy Pelosi" is not the be-all, end-all evil doer that you claim. She is an active participant in good standing in her Catholic Church and faith, who happens to be pro-choice. Perhaps, that's why I am not a fan of her (or Catholic Biden, for that matter)...I'm a Devout Atheist.
The coming landslide must get rid of people who support Biden and Pelosi and that is Wild.
ReplyDeleteMany women of ages have told me the Ds will win on the right to body topic alone.
ReplyDeleteWho speaks for the bodies of the innocents?
DeleteBernie don’t you remember Scheller’s former husband, the former Lehigh GOP Chair Wayne Woodman, who has now completely disappeared from the LV. Something is real shady there regarding Lisa and Wayne.
ReplyDeleteThis is not a personal slight in the least since he was very big in party politics at one time.
It's interesting how the supporters of Republicans don't mention the insurrectionist thing. I guess that's because they support it.
ReplyDeleteGood to know.
The same Susan Wild who tacitly ignored what Palowski was doing right under her nose in Allentown and denied she knew? She reeks of corrupt politics not the sweet smell of democracy.
ReplyDeleteYou are nuts...
Suspect few voters recall this episode.
Neither party is worth a dam. Take a chance a vote for an independent or third party. Time for real change. United we stand! Amen.
ReplyDeleteLisa Scheller gets my vote. I’m registered Independent.
ReplyDeleteWho can't think Independently
So you're a registered Independent, who can't think independently?
DeleteThere is no third party candidate on the ballot, though. Maybe I'll write someone in.
ReplyDeleteWow, great idea, WASTE your vote, better yet just stay home it will have the same effect
So let me get this straight, because you're supposedly worried about what Scheller MIGHT DO, you'll vote for Wild who has ACTUALLY VOTED for every Biden/Pelosi handout to China?
ReplyDeleteThat doesn't even make sense.
Or because your confused about Scheller's opposition to (at least) late-term abortions (according to your post), you'll support Wild's position of abortion up until time of birth? I'm sorry, that seems a bit extreme to me.
I suspect the real motivation behind your endorsement is your blood feuds with Lynch and Carroll, which Scheller isn't participating in.
This choice isn't even close - it's Scheller by a mile!
I don't need more inflation, high gas and home heating prices, open borders and everything else Wild supports. Once she's removed as our representative, maybe Wild can move to San Francisco and take Nancy Pelosi's spot. Wild has been a much better representative for San Francisco than she has for the people of the Lehigh Valley.
Wild voting habits has cost the American people thousands of dollars and she for killing babies the day before Birth.
ReplyDelete10:13am: seek therapy, get prozac and find a safe place. Q, it's not just for idiots anymore.
Delete10:13am: Up to killing babies the day before birth? Really? Seriously? Cool. I'm down with that! Wild has my vote. If only she'll push legislation for killing babies up to 3 years *after* birth.
DeleteWow, the Fox parrots are out in full force here! Please don't tell me you're an independent voter when you spew the conspiracy garbage all over the rest of us after a gorge on it. You are acting like mindless sheep or worse, a cult. Truly independent voters read or listen to actual news from the AP or Reuters or BBC or Christian Science Monitor. A very useful guide that does analysis of all major news media only can be found here: https://www.allsides.com/media-bias/media-bias-chart They even tell you how they do their analysis.
ReplyDeleteNot thrilled with Sheller but a win for her is a step closer to getting the gavel from Pelosi.
ReplyDelete9:57 very good post! Hope Bernie responds because you make some good points there. Not thrilled with the R candidates but they seem to be the lesser of two evils.
ReplyDeletewow, when did the vast majority of your readers/responders change into Anti American right wing Nazis?
ReplyDeletefor you people who enjoy spending more than necessary vote for Wild if you want a retirement Wild is not thinking about you. We need a businessperson in there. Not a politician who only votes party line.
ReplyDelete"So let me get this straight, because you're supposedly worried about what Scheller MIGHT DO, you'll vote for Wild who has ACTUALLY VOTED for every Biden/Pelosi handout to China?"
ReplyDeleteThis claim is demonstrably false. Wild actually is pushing a bill that boosts competition with China (H.R. 4521), voted for a bill that increases American production of semiconductors (Chips and Science Act), etc. I am aware of no handouts from Congress to China. Your assertion is a complete fabrication.
Getting rid of wild will do a lot of good for the people of the Lehigh Valley
ReplyDeleteWhile I am concerned about current dealings with the likes of China, those ties and factories were established in a more congenial time. It seems unfair to seemingly require a complete shift in business dealings to meet the flavor of the day. I am more concerned about inflation, the economy, and the crisis on the border, things Wild seems to downplay with her primary focus on abortion.
ReplyDeleteSure, Wild go against Biden and Pelosi give her a vote
ReplyDeleteYou're one of the brightest commenters here on Bernie's blog. I bet you're a registered Independent, who can't think independently.
DeleteLisa Scheller has run a terrible campaign, considering this is her second try at this. She seems to have borrowed the first page of the Trump playbook, "lie about anything, no one will check, claim fake-news when they do." She has made statements that were too easily proven false. Yes, she overcame addiction, but realize that she had access to the best treatment that you or I would never have been able to afford, with the incentive that she gets to be ceo when she's clean. She's been handed everything, including her ceo position at Silberline, and I doubt that the lady hears the word, "no" very often. She makes a living doing business with the communist Chinese government. This can't be overlooked. How do you represent the people of the United States when the majority of your business is in China? Also, she misrepresents herself so obviously. She is not an outsider, as she claims. She has literally been in bed with Republican leadership for years. Her husband's political activities are never mentioned. Her campaign literature is somewhat silly and complete with photos of her with some uncomfortable looking Latinas. Interesting that her primary opponent is running at the same time, but this time he's a suburban white guy and not a gay black guy who voted for Obama. The Republicans offered up candidates that are just warmed over "also rans," but no winners.
ReplyDelete9:46
ReplyDeleteThis is why you need to vote for Democrats, otherwise you are for the insurrection. Vote for an Independent is the same as voting for trump. UNDERSTAND.
@10:13
ReplyDeleteYour a sick pup. Wild voting habits has cost the American people thousands of dollars and she for killing babies the day before Birth. It is the woman choic, what she is going to do with her own body.Nobody kill babies except you. Through forcing your f…..….religious view on people.
Just like her hero Trump, she appeals to the lowest common denominator of uneducated worthless gullible tools.
ReplyDeleteThe truth be told the people are running our country into the ground. their policies are bad==we must make a change and fast --stock market may crash in October; this holiday season may be the worst in a long time. We must change and change fast, or the American people will suffer big time from the way these people in power rule.
ReplyDeleteJoe Biden has been around 50 yrs. During his tenure he has voted for many Bills that resulted in the hollowing out of our manufacturing sector while China built its middle class on our backs. He and his son have business interests in China. Now all of a sudden he’s the tough on China guy lol.
ReplyDelete11:20
ReplyDeleteA businessperson , what are you f…… nuts. You got your businessman in there in 2016, Trump and he manager to kill over 1,000,000 Americans. And to make matters worse he wanted to have the death numbers reported to him not the CDC.
Okay, I’m know he not a businessman, he’s a conman, fraudster, human excrement, that tried to take over this country and become our first dictator. And you want the same for Pennsylvania, no way.
I have news for all of you who say should not have china ties. I agree with the premise however here is a test for you all. Only buy things not made in china. Try it and see if you can do it!!! We have to build more here but we are far from that goal. Try it and tell Bernie if you can do it!
ReplyDelete5;45-Biden is a much better person than Trump--you are a fucking idiot.
ReplyDeleteWhat about Biden's ties to China?
ReplyDeleteDiet pill huckster = endorsed!
ReplyDeleteAccomplished female international business executive = rejected!
I remember when you endorsed a senile racist who often touches children inappropriately and denied his son was anything but angelic. You get an A for flinging shit and fostering discussion, though. In politics, this is the most wonderful time of the year.
Wild has voted to support out proxy war in Ukraine to the tune of $1.2 billion PER MONTH. No politician funding the next war should be elected. Our citizens could use that money. Wild wants to spend it on a foreign war.
ReplyDelete"Wild has voted to support out proxy war in Ukraine to the tune of $1.2 billion PER MONTH. No politician funding the next war should be elected. Our citizens could use that money. Wild wants to spend it on a foreign war."
ReplyDeleteI am delighted she voted to stand up against a thug and for democracy. You iso9olationists are just as disgusting now as you were before WWII. Any politician who opposes aid to Ukraine should lose here in Pa. Are you telling us that Scheller is an isolationist like you who supports the rape of a democracy? If that is so, I'll definitely write a piece and cite this as yet another reason to say No to her.
Pelosi just appointed Wild Chair of the……..Ethics Committee LOL! Maybe should should make Pawloski Vice Chair. They must have internal polls that’s are bad Pelosi looking to help lol.
ReplyDelete7:13
ReplyDeleteWhat planet are you from? Trump . is the laughing stock of America, oops the World. Biden is ten times the man your carnival barker was. He going to look good in an orange suit. By the way could you tell me how much money his legal defense is costing America? Ten of Millions. History will tell you the truth, but you probably don’t read. FH
Posting a picture of his child labeled with such a derogatory term as Lynchmob is in poor taste even for you Bernie. Whatever your beef is with Lynch, you should leave his children out of it. Shameful
ReplyDeleteLisa Scheller is another MAGA Republican, that PA doesn’t need!
ReplyDeleteShe is another millionaire, like Bloomsburg and others, that is bored and wants to have a position in Government!
She has little concern for the common folk of Middle Class PA people!
She ran in last election and clearly followed the Trump handbook!
Watch out if she loses, she will use the Trump play of fake elections!
Vote Susan who works hard to try and improve health care for us!
She fights for the rights of women, and their decisions about their bodies!
All we need is Tom Carroll in the picture.
