GEE I WONDER WHY???
DIVERSITY??? WHAT DIVERSITY???
I MUST'VE BEEN A REALLY GOOD GIRL, BECAUSE THE 'MESSENGER FAIRY' SENT ME SOME REAL GOODIES ABOUT THE TOWNSHIP AND WHAT'S GOING ON AROUND HERE. CHECK OUT THIS INTERESTING BIT OF INFO FROM SOME VERY CONCERNED INDIVIDUALS WHO MAKE SOME VERY VALID POINTS.
It is very interesting to our group of members of the emergency services in Bensalem that the Mayor claims he supports diversity.
Here are a few interesting facts about our Township.
1. The Mayor is a white male.
2. All of the Mayors staff are white males or white females.
3. All the members of Council are white males.
4. All the heads of the departments in Bensalem are white males.
5. Out of 105 sworn officers, there is ONLY one Hispanic male and ONLY one African American male left.
6. 90% of the rest of the minority officers hired under the current township administration, several have been forced to leave, some have been outright fired and a majority had to file lawsuits to deal with the discrimination.
7. Many of the minority officers that were fired or were not retained after their probation period were dismissed for minor incidents.
8. Several white officers have committed serious violations repeatedly and were retained and even promoted.
9. The paid fire department continues to violate the FLSA with no consequences.
10. The paid fire department continues to violate NFPA standards 1710 and 1500 which endangers the public as well as the fire service.
IF THIS IS DIVERSITY AND EQUALITY IN BENSALEM, I'D HATE TO SEE THE OPPOSITE. THIS IS ABOUT AS DIVERSE, EQUAL, AND TOLERANT, AS A SCREEN DOOR ON A SUBMARINE. OF COURSE LOBO BOASTS AS TO HOW HE CAN GET AWAY WITH ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING THANKS TO HIS MAJESTY PROTECTING AND COVERING FOR HIM. GEE, THAT SOUNDS LIKE WHAT JIM BOB DUGGAR HAS BEEN DOING (STILL IS!) FOR HIS MONSTER OF A SON JOSH! PROBLEM IS THAT THIS 'PROTECTION' WILL ONLY LAST FOR SO LONG, AND ONE OF THESE DAYS 'LITTLE BULLIES' WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS, AND MOST OF ALL LOBO.....
YOUR SIN WILL FIND YOU OUT!!

SOME IMPORTANT TRUTHS TO REMEMBER TODAY
WE are a nation that is taking our God given freedoms and rights for granted, and those who hate us and those freedoms are trying to take them away through abusing the legal system, slander false accusations, and intimidation. If we don't take a stand and fight for these freedoms, we will no longer have them. Please REMEMBER and HONOR all those who fought and gave their lives for these freedoms today.

HOWEVER, HIS MAJESTY AND SHERRIFF LOBO WILL NEVER DO THIS. I THINK MAYBE WE SHOULD MAKE SHERRIFF LOBO UNDERGO THIS. BETTER YET, WE SHOULD MAKE IT SO THAT IF HE COMMITTS ANY CRIMINAL ACT, HE LOSES HIS PRECIOUS TOWNSHIP ISSUED SUV, LOSES HIS JOB, AND GOES DIRECTLY TO JAIL!!

A WORD TO THE WISE...
DANIEL 3:16-18:
16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego answered and said to the king, “O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter. 17 If that is the case, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and He will deliver us from your hand, O king. 18 But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we do not serve your gods, nor will we worship the gold image which you have set up.”

Of course NOTHING will get done, since "His Majesty" won't let the police do their jobs and close down these places. Gee I wonder why??

THE ULTIMATE DREAM JOB
I just got home today, and found this information on my doorstep. I confirmed it online, and had to share with all of you. It seems that Bensalem's PAID Fire Service, have their own individual who handles their twitter page, and evidently they were 'tweeting' concerning a serious accident that occurred yesterday, and it appears this was being done as EVERYTHING was taking place.
Are you kidding me?? Bensalem Township's PAID fire Service actually has someone who posts things on this Twitter page, WHILE ON THE JOB??? Don't get me wrong, I am very glad that someone was there to assist those involved in this accident, and to make sure that lives were saved. my issue with this, is that the prospect of this being done by someone in the paid fire service, RIGHT THERE, is very inappropriate and unprofessional. What gets me even more is that they have a radio call sign for this person, "Tweeter 222". IF this is actually the case, then this is a MAJOR waste of out taxpayer $$$$$

EVERYBODY HATES FREDDIE EPISODE 21: OOPS FREDDIE DOES IT AGAIN!!
HOWDY GANG!!
Remember the Brittney Spears song "Oops, I did it Again"?? Well, the Bensalem version of this should be "Oops, Lobo Did it Again", and boy did he ever!! I happened to find something rather interesting on my doorstep after running errands, and this time it contained a surprise!! I checked the item out to make sure there was nothing suspicious, and upon putting it in my computer, discovered something that all of you need to see. Check out this little video of our favorite Public Safety Director showing his 'impeccable driving skills'.... NOT!!

This is the Bensalem Township Owned vehicle assigned to Public Safety Director Fred Harran making an illegal lane change (no turn signals) at a speed in excess of 70mph.
Mr. Harran made this illegal and aggressive move only one day after one his motor patrol officers was the "victim" of an alleged negligent driver. Judging by th this video Public Safety Director Harran is himself a danger to other motorists. I also hear there's a wedding for a certain fire person this weekend, and I wonder how many township emergency services personnel will be drinking and driving. Video cameras are ready!!!"
Gee Lobo. Looks like allegedly even your own people think you have issues behind the wheel. It's bad enough that Bill MacCauley did some illegal things behind the wheel, but this takes the cake! No matter what Neil 'Big Mouth' Morris says, no employment contract can cover or excuse this behavior and it needs to be stopped. If you think for one second that you're getting away with this, THINK AGAIN! Just remember that Almighty God sees what you're doing, and you WILL answer to Him for your actions.

THEY STILL NEVER LEARN
Morning Gang!!
Remember good ole Lt. Ed "Parking Lot" Kisselback III?? You know the same Lieutenant who has issues with the truth, and thinks he's above accountability?? Well, a little birdie sent me some interesting recent pics of Kisselback continuing to do something he was exposed at once before, and I had to share with all of you.
Here is a nice pic of the Kisselback Family Truckster, and how it sits parked on Township property, while they take his... Burgundy/Tan TOWNSHIP OWNED Ford Expedition on weekend family trips at OUR expense. Well, he's still at it, but he thinks that by parking his family car in another area, no one will notice. Sorry, but that isn't happening.
Come on now Lieutenant, did you think I wouldn't find this out?? How did you think you can do the same thing Sherriff Lobo does with his township issued SUV (You know use it for personal use.), and no one will notice? Please don't tell me this is 'part of your employment contract' like Lobo, because even Neil 'Big Mouth' Morris's statement concerning Lobo, is as ridiculous as whatever you try to say.
My suggestion is either set a better example for others, by stopping this, or
Find a Better Hiding Place for Your Family Car!!!

WHAT REALLY MATTERS???
https://youtu.be/hgv666uM670
FIRST THERE WAS MICHAEL BROWN, THEN ERIC GARDNER, AND NOW WALTER SCOTT. THERE ARE MANY MORE THAT I CANNOT NAME, BUT THE THEME IS STILL THE SAME. THEY ARE ALL PEOPLE WHOSE LIVES WERE ENDED AT THE HANDS OF POLICE. SOME JUSTIFIABLE, AND OTHERS NOT. NOW WE HAVE FREDDIE GREY IN BALTIMORE, AND THE ENSUING CHAOS THAT RESULTED FROM IT. JUST LIKE FERGUSON ALL DONE WITHOUT CAREFULLY EXAMINING THE FACTS.
EVER SINCE FERGUSON, I HAVE WONDERED WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE IF THIS OCCURRED HERE IN BENSALEM, AND MY FEAR IS THAT SINCE THE INDIVIDUALS RUNNING THIS TOWN ARE FULL OF BIGOTRY AND WORSE, WE'D BE IN BIG TROUBLE.

They still have over half a million that is unaccounted for from the school employee thievery, so how in the world are they going to pay for this??

WHERE ARE THE CONSEQUENCES??
THIS INFORMATION WAS GIVEN TO ME BY SOME VERY BRAVE PEOPLE, AND IT WAS FOUND ON THE WINDSHIELD OF OUR CAR. AFTER CAREFULLY READING THIS AND CONFIRMING THE CONTENTS WITHIN IT, I FELT IT NECESSARY TO SHARE. IN IT CONTAINS SOME RATHER VERY INTERESTING THINGS PERTAINING TO BENSALEM’S EMS STAFF, AND THE LACK OF ACCOUNTABILITY TAKING PLACE WITHIN IT, AND IT’S SOMETHING YOU NEED TO KNOW.
We have two additions to our group of Bensalem emergency services members, two active members of the police department. They have become increasingly frustrated with the leadership of the police department. They are seeing firsthand the poor treatment of the public in general and the emergency services in particular. These officers and members of our group would like to provide some information to you, hoping that the public will become involved.
The Director of Public Safety attacked the leadership of the Union Fire Company when they brought to light the violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act, FALSE information contained in the 2010 Bensalem Township budget, and the dangerous operations of the paid fire department in direct contradiction of the SAFER grant application, which the township received close to $500,000.00 for. This includes the illegal formation of the paid fire department, separate from the six volunteer fire companies. In the SAFER grant, the goal was to form a combination paid-volunteer fire service in the township, NOT create a separate paid fire department! This resulted in the wasting of more than $700,000.00 purchasing two pieces of fire apparatus for the paid fire department that were not needed. The Director of Public Safety, the Mayor, and (because they don’t have the guts to question anything the Mayor does) the entire Council took money away from the volunteer fire companies when the grant application clearly states that would not occur. They took these funds away to pay for a paid fire service that we cannot afford due to the leaderships mismanagement of the SAFER grant. They paid $30,000.00 for an emergency services survey that was targeted to eliminate the Union Fire Company, and include false, inaccurate and, deleted information. Once, the Mayor finally got tired of the damage the Director of Public Safety was doing to the emergency services, he asked a former police officer to step in and become President of the Union Fire Company. This former officer was not afraid of the Public Safety Director and put a stop to the harassment. Interesting that nothing was done to Union Fire Company since! The Director of Public Safety repeatedly refused to address a theft of funds from the Nottingham Fire Company by its former President despite repeated requests by members of that organization to do so! Instead, the funds were allowed to be quietly paid back by his family members. No charges! AND, he was allowed to finish out his term as the President of the fire company and is STILL a member. He was not forced to resign like the two chiefs of the Union Fire Company despite all the charges made against them by the Director of Public Safety being proven false!
A paid fire fighter attacked a volunteer firefighter. There were numerous witnesses and damage to the volunteer firefighter’s personal vehicle AND the volunteer firefighter was hospitalized. The victim of this attack and the fire department he belonged to were pressured by the Director of Public Safety to not press charges! No charges have ever been filed in this case. More than a year later, the paid firefighter quietly left his employment with the township.
Two police supervisors have been quietly transferred after repeated complaints made against them by employees and civilians. They continue to hold rank within the department and their misconduct continues.
The Director of Public Safety was filmed by a local news agency drinking for hours at a golf tournament then afterwards leaving the place, driving in his township vehicle. It was obvious to those who have seen the video that he should not have been driving a vehicle, let alone a township vehicle. When this was brought to the attention of the Mayor, he refused to speak with the reporter OR view the tape. Instead, he had one of the township’s attorney’s contacts the reporter, refuse to address the issue and state the Director of Public Safety can do whatever he wants with the vehicle. It’s part of his contract with the township to use the vehicle for personal use!Later, members of the fire departments spoke with a councilman who was aware of the problem with the Director of Public Safety. The councilman said the Director of Public Safety was brought in and told not to do it again! That was it, no suspension, no firing, nothing. The Director of Public Safety called a press conference and told the public he shut down the Union Fire Company for undisclosed safety violation that would endanger the firefighters and the general public. The Mayor stood right next to him at the press conference.
We think driving in a township vehicle, in public, after drinking alcohol for more than five hours IS a public safety issue. Not only was he not suspended, the vehicle was not taken from him! In fact, shortly after the sit down with the mayor, the Director of Public Safety was boasting in the police station that he could do whatever he wants! They have connections at the TV station that videotaped his driving after the golf tournament and squashed the story. That must be true, it never aired!
The emergency services have suffered enough under this unqualified and vindictive leadership. Moral continues to plummet. Members of our emergency services community have chosen to volunteer in surrounding townships to get away from this mess. Every time we drive past that 5 million dollar embarrassment of a training center that was constructed “because we can” it reinforces our opinions.
The group has seen what happens to those that question the madness. Maybe if the public started publicly asking questions things will change.
Until then, the destruction continues.
P.S. Where does the $11,000,000.00 from PARX go every year Mr. Mayor? The council either doesn’t know or is afraid to say.
OK LET’S START WITH THE OBVIOUS HERE, WE HAVE INDIVIDUALS WORKING WITHIN BENSALEM’S EMS, WHO ARE COMMITTING CRIMINAL ACTIVITY, AND THEY GET AWAY WITH IT. REASON WHY?? IT’S BECAUSE OF A VERY VINDICTIVE, ARROGANT PUBLIC SAFETY DIRECTOR WHO ALLOWS IT ALL. IN THE MEANTIME, WHEN ANYONE CONFRONTS HIM WITH ANY TYPE OF WRONGDOING (INCLUDING HS OWN.), HE LASHES OUT AT THOSE WHO CONFRONT HIM, AND MAKES THEIR LIVES A NIGHTMARE. DON’T BELIEVE ME?? LOOK AT THE JERRI’S! THEY BRAVELY POINTED OUT SERIOUS DISCREPENCIES WITHIN THE ENTRIES WITHIN THE TOWNSHIP’S BUDGET (YOU KNOW THE $750,000 FAKE GRANT), THE FALSE INFORMATION CONTAINED WITHIN THE SAFER GRANT THAT FORMED THE PAID FIRE SERVICE, AND THE FALSE ACCUSATIONS AND SLANDEROUS THINGS SAID AGAINST UNION FIRE COMPANY, AND LOOK WHAT HAPPENED. IF IT WASN’T FOR THE NEW PRESIDENT OF UNION FIRE COMPANY STANDING UP TO ‘SHERRIFF LOBO’, THIS LITTLE FIRE COMPANY WOULD BE NO MORE.
JUST TO MAKE SOMETHING CLEAR, AS WELL AS IF TRUE, LAST I CHECKED, DRIVING IN ANY VEHICLE DRUNK, IS A CRIMINAL ACT, AND NO EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT, OR CONNECTIONS, CAN MAKE THAT GO AWAY!! BEING GIVEN A GOOD TALKING TO’ IS ALSO NOT THE SOLUTION, BUT A GOOD FIRING AND BEING PUT IN JAIL IS. IF I WERE THE LONE DEMOCRAT ON COUNCIL, I’D BE PITCHING A FIT ON THIS, AND DEMANDING ANSWERS. THE TIME FOR EXCUSES AND COWARDICE IS OVER, DEMOCRATS. YOU NEED TO QUIT BEING THE MAYOR’S ‘BFF’ AND ACT ON THIS AND MUCH MORE. QUIT THE EXCUSE OF NOT WANTING TO BE LABELED ‘RUMOR MONGERS’, ETC. AND DEMAND ANSWERS CONCERNING THE PUBLIC SAFETY DIRECTOR’S ACTIONS. INSIST ON SEEING THIS TAPE, EVEN IF YOU HAVE TO GO TO WHOEVER RECORDED IT, AND DEMAND ACTION. IT’S TIME TO START SHOWING A BACKBONE, AND TO SAY SOMETHING MR. ALLEN AND THE TIME IS NOW.

IN THE MEANTIME, WHEN ANYONE CONFRONTS HIM WITH ANY TYPE OF WRONGDOING (INCLUDING HS OWN.), HE LASHES OUT AT THOSE WHO CONFRONT HIM, AND MAKES THEIR LIVES A NIGHTMARE. DON’T BELIEVE ME?? LOOK AT THE JERRI’S! THEY BRAVELY POINTED OUT SERIOUS DISCREPENCIES WITHIN THE ENTRIES WITHIN THE TOWNSHIP’S BUDGET (YOU KNOW THE $750,000 FAKE GRANT), THE FALSE INFORMATION CONTAINED WITHIN THE SAFER GRANT THAT FORMED THE PAID FIRE SERVICE, AND THE FALSE ACCUSATIONS AND SLANDEROUS THINGS SAID AGAINST UNION FIRE COMPANY, AND LOOK WHAT HAPPENED. IF IT WASN’T FOR THE NEW PRESIDENT OF UNION FIRE COMPANY STANDING UP TO ‘SHERRIFF LOBO’, THIS LITTLE FIRE COMPANY WOULD BE NO MORE.
JUST TO MAKE SOMETHING CLEAR, AS WELL AS IF TRUE, LAST I CHECKED, DRIVING IN ANY VEHICLE DRUNK, IS A CRIMINAL ACT, AND NO EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT, OR CONNECTIONS, CAN MAKE THAT GO AWAY!! BEING GIVEN A GOOD TALKING TO’ IS ALSO NOT THE SOLUTION, BUT A GOOD FIRING AND BEING PUT IN JAIL IS. IF I WERE THE LONE DEMOCRAT ON COUNCIL, I’D BE PITCHING A FIT ON THIS, AND DEMANDING ANSWERS. THE TIME FOR EXCUSES AND COWARDICE IS OVER, DEMOCRATS. YOU NEED TO QUIT BEING THE MAYOR’S ‘BFF’ AND ACT ON THIS AND MUCH MORE. QUIT THE EXCUSE OF NOT WANTING TO BE LABELED ‘RUMOR MONGERS’, ETC. AND DEMAND ANSWERS CONCERNING THE PUBLIC SAFETY DIRECTOR’S ACTIONS. INSIST ON SEEING THIS TAPE, EVEN IF YOU HAVE TO GO TO WHOEVER RECORDED IT, AND DEMAND ACTION. IT’S TIME TO START SHOWING A BACKBONE, AND TO SAY SOMETHING MR. ALLEN AND THE TIME IS NOW.
