Well since council cancelled picking a new controller tonight most likely because they didnt like either candidate I wont give a recount of the council meeting.
However, I can predict a few things for this July 4th weekend in the City of Allentown. Well lets just see how many I get correct. For all you smart asses, no I don't wish any of these things to actually happen, but its out of my control.
1. Fireworks everywhere. It will sound like Afghanistan from 7pm-3am.
3. Loser motor scooters, you know the cheap $1500 ones people put $5000 stereos on it so they can feel cool and get attention will be everywhere.
4. Atleast a motorcycle or a dirt bike will crash.
5. Somewhere there will be a huge car meet that will get out of control and have little police presence.
7. The mayor will go live on Facebook running somewhere talking about a tragedy that happened the day before. One day he's going to run into a parked car while filming and I am going to fall off my chair laughing. "Hey Allentown, Matt Tuerk here..aahhhhhh slam."
8. There will be little police presence seen anywhere.
9. The J. Birney Crum fireworks will be sub-par compared to Bethlehem, Dorney Park and pretty much everywhere else. But there will be lots of guns shots. So watch for bullets, they do come down.
10. Lastly, there is an increased likelihood there will be a stabbing or someone shot. Whether it makes the news will be another story.
Sadly, these are realities not just predictions.
What will not happen.
1. The city will not do anything special to celebrate America's 250th birthday. Shame on you. Yea fireworks, big deal. Probably not even a flag raising, because the poles at city hall already have special flags hung.
Wait one more for above.
People will be blasting their music celebrating but will have no clue what July 4th even means.
I think I will get all of my predictions. I am sure I missed a few as well.
Get out this weekend and celebrate America and this important 4th of July. The history of our country is our history. Go see some fireworks, put hot dogs and hamburgers on the grill and spend time with family and friends. Please dont drink and drive.
God bless Abe

Great set of predictions! I can agree with all of them. I am most concerned about abuse of fireworks laws all across the city. Sadly, almost no efforts will be made to police any of this. After all, it’s just a cultural thing.
Great list but you forgot that there will be swimming in the creeks.
If all of these happen, Tuerk must resign. It shows he is completely incapable of running a city.
7 is partially correct. The mayor is probably on a plane to Cuba to celebrate the long weekend and give the key to the city to Raul Castro before he dies. He certainly will not be participating in any celebrations of the USA 🇺🇸
Allentown teeters between second and third world status while the Pronoun Clown seeks to apply remedies to "world" issues that amount to putting lipstick on a pig when applied to Allentown.
My prediction for the holiday weekend is that Mayor Tuerk will be putting some of his recent training at the UCLG World Congress in Algiers to work addressing the serious challenges facing our city. Here's a sample of the types of issues our Mayor will now be prepared to better manage in Allentown:
1. Aligning Civil Society Partners
2. Promoting Local Multi-Lateralism
3. Provision of Services as Instruments of Change and Sustainability
4. Establishing a Strategic Cycle of Convergence
5. Promoting Local Social Covenants
6. Establishing Transformative Local Finance
7. Encouraging Climate Justice, Culture and New Essentials
Did you do a seance with Teresa Caputo and John Edward and consult the ghost of Sylvia Brown to get that?
"Mayor" Matt's daughter is doing an internship in France... I'm sure it was just coincidental he had a conference in Spain!😉
Sounds like a whole lotta gobbly goo and words thrown together to sound significant.
What the hell is Climate Justice? Does he think he can control climate now too?
His own policies, or lack there of, have created the social injustices that the climate zealots claim to be fighting against.
It is SO comforting to know we have cameras galore that can see up a gnat's ass, but just can't seem to see fireworks being set off right underneath the cameras that cost taxpayers a pretty penny. This city has a very obvious agenda which precludes doing anything for the taxpayers!!!
On a good side note, I did see a cruiser chasing a motorcycle thru an alley at high speed... hope he caught the actor!!! We should see this all day, every day!!!
Allentown PA and all it's ngo's= exceptable modern social ills college class 101 Muhlenberg media needs help adjusting.
Those with pets in Allentown dread the 4th and the effects the illegal fireworks have on them. Again, the worst aspects of irresponsible adolescence male behavior are facilitated and celebrated by the mayor hands off policy. Apparently Matt thinks such behavior is cultural. Isn't that sort of thinking, "racist"?My neighbors who are black and Latino see nothing "cultural " about anti social behavior.
I think Climate Justice has something to do with liberals wasting public money traveling to lavish conferences to learn about hair brained schemes meant to make them all feel better about themselves while their constituents remain mired in poverty, with dysfunctional public schools, rising taxes and diminished essential services.
Melanated gawds love tormenting you European colonizers with loud music, swimming in natural bodies of water and general revelry.
You crackers won't cough up reparations so we gonna do our thang while you honkies bitch and moan!
White America; the days of Leave it to Beaver and Green Acres are long gone. The Caucasian set is set to become the minority in the not so distant future, get used to large gyrating scantily clad posteriors twerking to music you don't understand. Id Jolly Joe's polka Grove still a thing? Maybe you all can go there to eat pierogi and dance modestly in air conditioning while we get down on the creeks
Are you referring to the Strategic Cycle of Convergence????
Matt couldn't have said it better.
Scooter your kin folk dispossessed the lenae lenapae of their land with small pox and treachery, payback in the form of reggaeton and dirt bikes is nothing
Was this written by the mayor?
Do you work in the mayor's office?
The white mayor who is so insecure in his own skin that he lies about who he is and pretends to be another culture then attacks white Americans? Yes, he wrote that 💯! It is sad to hate yourself
The great lie of American exceptionalism is predicted on the notion Thomas Jefferson and George Washington were quasi saints when in fact they were slave owners with TJ even contracting jungle fever and raping Sally Hemmings.
The revolution has started with several BIPOC DSA candidates winning primaries recently with Mamdani and AOC leading the charge our long held destructive power structure of old white guys will come to a screeching halt
The turtle Mitch McConnell is about to croak, just need a few more members of the Gerontocracy to go with him and we will be cookin
I believe we need to create a BIPOC Mt. Rushmore where the old whiter than sour cream one now stands gracing its marble I might suggest the following heroes; Frederick Douglas, George Takei Comrade Paul Robeson, Geronimo, and for some latin flavor Caeser Chavez
Anon at 7:17 PM History Update: The14th Amendment giving full citizenship to freed slaves, passed in 1868 with 94% Republican support and 0% Democrat support in congress. The 15th Amendment giving freed slaves the right to vote, was passed in 1870 with 100% Republican support and 0% Democrat support in congress. Kinda hard to believe with soo many whites dudes in the Republican party back in the day. Ain't it!
Now they have Uncle Tom's like Clarence Thomas to do their bidding, him and his disgusting wench Ginnie are on the take and need to be sent to Florence Colorado
Hashaan(F... the police) Batts certainly has the credentials and deserves a spot on Mt. Rushmore.
The mayor’s office led by Tuerk, Boyer, and Kane are suddenly taking to the blog and commenting. Thanks for the support as always. we love that you’re so obsessed!
Your clicks and hatred help Abe’s algorithms.
at its peak as a slaveholding nation, 1.4% of america’s citizens owned them. granted, those 1.4% were powerful people and could shape society, but it wasn’t a ubiquitous practice. certainly it’s a practice that shouldn’t occur at all, and the american instance was particularly egregious since the children of the enslaved became slaves themselves. still, slavery has endured to the modern day just in other forms or offshored.
What about the Jim Crow era what % of Americans were responsible for that travesty? We need reparations now or else there will be no peace among the races
To those in those in need of reparations : Do you need cash upfront or will a monthly check suffice? Get a job!
Happy Birthday America, you to california and new york.
how are reparations going to be implemented?
Well if 40 acres and a mule back in 1865 was adjusted for inflation, add on penalties and interest we are talking at least one full section (640 acres) per descendent of the enslaved. Mules wouldn't suffice so I'd say an American made vehicle with an msrp of at least $80,000.
The current portfolio of federal Land wouldn't cut the mustard so we are looking at expropriation of historical lands in the affected regions during reconstruction, this is a big problem for white America that isn't going away
We in the resistance movement refuse to let Dis Honest Abes hate blog become an echo chamber of misinformation, the leadership of Hermano Tuérk is indubitably tier one any suggestions to the contrary is utter hogwash
You arent getting shit. Get a job like successful people and quit whining. Even successful black people like myself feel the same. No one cares what happened over 100 years ago. Things have changed. Anyone can be successful.
Sounds like your one of those house types who would sell his brothers and sisters down river if it suited you, it's because of Uncle Tom's like you the issue of reparations has been in stasis for eons
Resistance movement? You are so funny.
Hats off to the mayor and to the city last night for making the "safe and healthy" decision to set off fireworks minutes before a severe storm, and during extremely high winds. Great job "showing up" 2 weeks after a devastating fire and during a year long drought. Glad my tax money went to that macho display of selfishness.
what do you think your comrades would say about using forty acres and a mule? why not go back to 1619 and all the lost back wages since then?
What black and brown bodies need more than anything is a truth and reconciliation process ala south africa's, cash reparations are very well deserved but perhaps unrealistic in such a racist society.
Matthew Tuerk has always been an ally of BIPOC peoples because he is one himself being the descendent of a cubana abuela. When the orange turd came to town Matt stood up and led from the front lines, he was mocked for looking like pee wee herman which is ridiculous because resembling a beloved actor need not create shame.
Universal basic income was championed by Andrew Yang it is an excellent idea perhaps the historically marginalized could receive a larger monthly check, Comrade Bernie Sanders is currently drafting legislation to extract profits from the AI juggernauts to do this very thing.
When you don’t really want to celebrate Independence Day, and you don’t really care about people, it’s an easy decision not to postpone the fireworks to another day.
Just shoot them off and let the people deal with the storm.
I celebrated Martyrs day yesterday, it was a good way to reflect after the disgusting speech by our Orange Turd excoriating "communists" in a display Joseph McCarthy would have popped a tent over.
The outdoor swimming was glorious, the beer flowed, bass thumped, and no fucks were given to the white grievance!
Were you able to kiss your own Dupa ? You be talking like a nazi turd .
Too bad you cant afford a pool and a beach house like me and instead had to swim in dirty water with other dirty people lmao. Real bawler my man.
