The voters who are in the very populous areas of Pa. won't like the joke, and it won't affect the voting results in the State.

SW PA is unrecognizable. Confederate flags and guns everywhere. We gotta get out of this place...soon.

I traveled to Westmoreland County years ago for genealogy research of my ancestor John Proctor, and his Revolutionary War battalion's flag was flown above their government buildings:


I bought a pillow with that flag on it and used to keep it on my couch, but now the WEIRDOS have co-opted that rattlesnake symbol. It's in a closet now.

The irony was that he lost his land as an old man because he didn't have paperwork for it (after being the first sheriff there in his youth, back when that area was still a wild frontier), so someone else snatched it. He then lived out his final days with a son in Northern KY.

John's father was buried near Benjamin Franklin in Philly.

I think they are not too far from the "trump house." Please google it.... I don't want to post any pictures of it.

There was a bad car accident there about a week ago. People were probably distracted by that eyesore.
