“Hey, somebody’s gotta say it.”
Vagina Monologues, Meet the Pussyhats
If Donald Trump had lost, how many “pussyhats” do you think the knitting moonbats would have made? Probably not a one, because the ladies wouldn’t have marched on Washington the day after the inauguration of the new president — had their gal won. Alas, she didn’t. The sorry Mrs. Bill Clinton got beat by one of most brilliantly run presidential bids in U.S. history. He spent way less money and campaigned a ton smarter.
Fact is, the extreme left is still choking on Trump’s dust. However, he has left the loons far behind, and through the road clouds, the extremists having no remainders but their self-pity, the fuel of all victims, their Wheaties.
Oh, and they have pussyhats.
The pussyhats are the brain-addled child of Krista Suh and Jayna Zweinman, who say their knitting project is designed to “create a sea of pink hat which is going to be a strong collective visual statement” — which means exactly what and convinces exactly whom? The line reads like it came from Linda Tyer‘s “state of the city” speech.
Suh and Zweinman aren’t sure what it means. In fact, few of the marchers know why they’re marching beyond the building bile from sore losing that has soured their complexions even more than usual. In reality, if you want to talk about statements that are “strong, collective, and visual,” the ladies will have been a day late and several skeins short. President Trump will have made history the day before on Jan. 20 by taking the oath.
Doth Protesting Too Much
The week of protests has already begun. On Saturday, small bands marched in various cities to protest against the rule of law. Another name for that might be anarchy, or treason, perhaps. “Cultural” events in Washington, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Jose, and elsewhere carried banners saying, “Tu, Yo, Todos Somos America.” Irony, even in Spanish, is lost on these lawbreakers.
Fact is, the United States has a process with which to welcome immigrants. My ancestors and likely yours came to this country that way. They left families and native lands for the opportunity that is America. They did so legally, applying, being vetted, then vigorously working to learn the language and begin at the bottom. They assimilated.
Illegal immigrants lack permission to be in this country. They should be “entitled” to nothing, nada in a native tongue, other than a one-way trip back to their native lands. Massachusetts, land of the Native American Senator whose name can be found on the bumper sticker of every Bay State Prius, believes illegals should have priority over its own citizens. Free housing. Free EBT cards. Free education. Stop THE PLANET if you’ve heard this one before.
We reject mooching and moochers. Finally, we have a president of all the people, especially the vast majority who still believe in America.

According to Donald Trump’s propaganda blogger, Dan Valenti, Donald Trump is going to be a great Prez who will bring America back to its glory through his business acumen and conservative pragmatism. All those who “resist” Trump are “extremist Liberals” who support Elizabeth Warren’s Socialist politics that put illegal Immigrants before taxpaying citizens.
According to Dan Valenti, Donald Trump is a god-like man without any flaws. However, Trump’s detractors are all flawed and will stand in the way of Trump’s political agenda.
Never mind that Donald Trump compared our nation’s Intelligence Officials to “Nazi Germany”. Never mind that Donald Trump proposed to ban all Muslims from entering the U.S.A. Never mind that Donald Trump disparaged Mexicans and says he will charge Mexico to build a wall along the U.S.A. and Mexican border. Never mind that Trump disparaged women, and he has been married 3 times over. Never mind that Trump declared 4 business bankruptcies. Never mind that Donald Trump won’t release his tax returns to the public.
– Jonathan Melle
Our daily dose of blah, blah. Thanks.
Swallowing all the trump, we see
Them Trumpcucks sure love Donnie Boy!
Jonathan, you really need to stop listening to MSNBC and CNN soundbites. Those stations and even some like NBC and ABC are just progressive cheerleaders who will say anything, including lies, to make Trump look bad and the progressives look good. Listen to other news sources to get to the truth.
Can we have serious comments, please, about the issues we have raised? Is that asking too much?
That made me spit out my coffee. Thanks for the lift.
Interprint, in today’s Eagle, says it is expanding and will create more jobs. Manufacturing jobs, BTW. They say they are almost always hiring.
And people say there are no jobs. It just isn’t true.
Barry
That is good news, surely, BC. Thanks for sharing.
Barry please read the paper.Mayors want to talk about who’s left to hire,we talk about the Pittsfield economy with taxes up and house prices down .The senior population who can’t afford taxes are the subject of most planet conversations.Mayor Tyer job is to control budgets. Anyone can spend money.
“always hiring” probably turns out to mean that there is lots of turnover in the lower positions because they don’t pay enough to live off, though maybe the experience is of some value; anyway a couple of hires per month doesn’t amount to much
Really?
They pay around $35,000 per year for low level manufacturing jobs. I have a friend that works there. I can live on that.
Really?
My friend tells me the turn over is because they can’t find people who actually show up to work when the are supposed too, or show up in pajamas. Can you believe people do that?
Have a little pride people. Show that you aren’t just a dead beat looking for a handout.
There is no work ethic in people who are used to taking from big government. Why should they bother to exert themselves when Big Daddy government will take care of them? We have the progressives to thank for that.
Really?
Agreed.
Just like all the old people living off the welfare social security Ponzi scheme.
Yes Pat you do have progressives to thank for all social safety nets.You name the program and you will never see the corporate elite social regressives lead the way as you are a critic and follower of Sean Hannity.
I have 12 friends who voted Trump all white males.Serious answer is Trumps brilliance was tapping into their anger at everything thats not white male.They want some and Trump promised to give it to them
If your heat/water/power failed and your life expectancy dropped to a matter of days, what would the person look like who would show up do whatever it takes to fix the problem?
They keep you busy looking at each other.It’s always about rich people keeping poor people fighting with each other.
You have 12 friends or are all you friends 12?
Sounds like you hang out with a lot of white males, and have lots of friends.
Trump’su tidbit during the campaign of ‘What do you have to lose? Will and should be answered shortly, he did say he would hit the ground running. He already has takencredit forthe Indiana workers staying here, or some of them
Taking the credit for jobs staying is far different than having a hand in it. UTX threatened to leave, and to bribe them to stay (halfway) cost the taxpayers of Indiana $7 million dollars.
The Donald is a bully ignore him, he won’t go away but he’s gotten his way his whole life. He’s the ultimate counter puncher, bucket your seat belts.
Of the 800 students at PHS 250 of them are all interested in joining Taconic when it opens.They do not want to go to PHS because it’s a dump and Farley Yon Amuso did not build Taconic big enough for consolidation or the expansion to 1 high school….Amuso never made a good decision for taxpayers
..
When they upgraded Stearns to higher learning they bused kids from the rich sections of town and many kids living in the neighborhood who had been going there had to be bused across town.
Curios how they will choose who gets to go where.
Our population will drop to the point where one high school will be more than enough.
The immigration process is far from perfect or easy for each situation. My grandparents were liberated at Dachau in April of 1945. they waited in that same concentration camp, no occupied by the Allies, for YEARS before they were herded onto ships for New Orleans.
If we are serious about pre-processing immigrants/refugees fleeing the warlands that these United States of America created, then we should establish a forward center, at our expense, to perform background checks and hold refugees.
Maybe we can even adaptively reuse some internment camps.
Or, the US can stop “nation building” through destabilization. If we didn’t blow up these peoples’ schools, homes, hospitals, weddings… they wouldn’t come here to hate us.
Pass that memo on to the Iranians and the Turks. Also, Islamic States and Republics are troublesome and destabilizing.
Like Indonesia. Like the Saudis?
Yes. But the hot war is with the Islamic Republic and Islamic State. Is it in our interests to permit them to expand?
We are funding the Kurds, equally guilty of conducting atrocities, so the US isn’t on some moral hight ground.
Odd response. Did I use the phrase ‘high moral ground’ or mention ‘atrocities’? Your brain is playing tricks on you.
The media needs to start telling the truth. The media is lying that John Lewis has never not attended an inauguration. Not true. This will be the second one he hasn’t attended. The media needs to stop apologizing for any Democrat who says something that is wrong.
Thank God you were on top of that breaking story Pat.
As of 2009, 0.4% of the people directly provided benefits for public housing in these United States were illegal non-citizens.
If anyone can provide actual data, actual numbers, not just mynah chirps of hyper sensual nationalist suppositions, that a statistically significant portion of our welfare programs go to illegal immigrants, then I am all ears. Bring your facts.
Until then, no, not true, there is no widespread “Free housing. Free EBT cards. Free education.” this is false and misleading.
And if you were ever curious as to why Massachusetts does not ask about immigration status for public housing assistance, well the state of Massachusetts was sued for discrimination and in 1977 signed a consent decree that they would not ask certain questions, including immigration status. By my math it would be the Nixon and Ford administrations that led up to that consent decree.
If they can’t be asked then you have no idea if they are here legally.
Do you want a cookie? a participation award for reading?
Home made chocolate chips
Anything for my tender little regressive snowflake.
You are a kind soul
Bring it to my safe space
Torch,
You can’t be serious? You want us to provide facts from illegal alien’s who steal other people’s identity, social security numbers, etc, and provide you with an accurate account?
As they say on Monday Night Football, C’mon Man! How about we get our crime statistics from the actual criminals themselves? I mean after all, they are the ones committing the crimes, right Torch? And according to you democRATS, those big, bad, white police officers, can’t be trusted.
I’m a registered republican. And worrying about this issue is akin to worrying about dying from a lightning strike. I know girls suck at math, but understanding some statistics would Benefit you.
Kate watches Fox and reads headlines.
Thanks for noticing TSC. The key part of your statement is I read. You should try it sometime, rather than post the same comment, “trump is nuts” repeatedly. It kinda helps further your point when you learn (i.e.-TSC: READ), than just talk out of your a$$..
The Cavalier Mgt. tenement that burned on Tyler St. and was immediately demolished precluding follow-up investigation of physical causes, limited the visual impression of any super Wal-Mart to be built immediately across the street; The deal must be done as the money trail “heats” up. It is coming folks.
Really?
Is there a chance the owners had the place torched? Didn’t they own that big apartment complex on Wendell Ave that burnt to the ground a few years ago?
I know they own a boat load of property, but what are the odds you have two buildings burn to the ground that weren’t set?
Ask yourself, how many houses have you owned and how many had a fire?
Bartlett Avenue and Broad. I recall it an electrical fire that followed same day some work done on wiring in a closet.
the Dalton ave building was being or had just been renovated
That would make three buildinds of theirs, that I’m aware of, that suffered electrical failures post renovation/upkeep. Two fires, one blackout. Could be as simple as cramming lots of families into structures designed for fewer. My guess is that the wiring of the rental stock cannot handle miltiple families.

10 people escaped that one by the skin of their teeth. I don’t suppose the odds favored them.
Interprint expanding no thanks to city government.
I don’t know, had a friend who was laid off from there a while ago? What gives?
The other Cavalier fire was on Bartlett I believe.
We live in the poorest city in the poorest County in a very wealthy state.Yes a 2.9 unemployment rate.We are going to 30 thousand people and Tyer spends like we are going to 60000.
and maybe we will if we can bus in enough needy Syrians. and we can always build another school if too many come at once.
Grand Barry oh wizard and dame Linda!
Interprint is expanding because they already exist here. Their business doing well has 0 to do with Pittsfield except of course that fat TIF deal they got.
http://www.berkshireeagle.com/stories/tax-breaks-for-new-old-businesses,38402
So we agree that the TIF worked and created jobs. Must have been a good thing.
BTW, my point was there are jobs. Never suggested the City had anything to do with it. But since you brought up the TIF…
Barry
How many jobs were created with nuclea biotech?
Perhaps the Syrians that are on their way can fill some of these job vacancies.
I’m sure some of the men who love to expand their manufacturing expertise.
Please consider these great rehirings and that is what they are, because of TIF’s and although they create jobs and in turn generate money for the economy the taxpayer still has the burden of the TIF. Currently there is a company in all kinds of hock, won’t mention where, and because of bad timing and other factors’ went down the toilet, a business like that is the kind the government should be supporting.
I completely agree with Dan V. that we Americans welcome immigrants as long as they follow the law and go through the process to become legal.
Elizabeth Warren is a disaster. Everything that she says is controversial, but the progressive media in this state lets it slide. Her comments that she is native American were never researched competently by anyone in the media because they don’t care. Her comment today that John Lewis raises legitimate questions about Trump’s presidency are not challenged by the media. No hard hitting questions about how she can justify saying such a horrible thing. She is a Democrat progressive and allowed to get away with anything.
Whereas with Trump the media will dig deep to find any outrageous story to make him look bad whether it’s true or not. They are going to be disrespectful and stir up trouble because he isn’t a progressive. Their hypocrisy is off the charts and the public is outraged except for the progressives who cheer on the deceptive practices of this liberal media.
Fox news GOOD!
Everybody else BAD!! BAD!!
The media makes issues just like the internet makes fake news, to get eyeballs and clicks. You think CNN cares about trump? They care about causing the most friction because that gets them more viewers.
CNN has a ratings problem
Oh really? So explain
Yeah, google Fox News vs CNN News. Click on the first link: ijr.com. It shows the ratings and shows that Fox beats Clinton News Network (CNN), CSNBC, and HLN, combined.
C’mon Torch, isn’t time you democRATS end the charade? Donald Trump is the next President. Your not going to wake up out of a nightmare, aliens aren’t going to invade earth demanding Hillary Clinton is the next president, or plate tectonics are going move the earth so Donald Trump is now considered a Canadian citizen?
Time to move on Torch! She lost.
The IJR conducts television and website ratings analysis? Who knew, I’ll go by Nielsen.
Not having the highest ratings does not mean there is a problem.
That was too complicated for shakes. But he can bake cookies.
The left in this Country has been caught up in this sociopathic herd delusion for many years. Every other day they are marching/rioting for one thing or the other. I think most Americans are sick and tired of it and have tuned them out. I say to the left keep it up and Thank You for helping get D.J.T. elected
U.S. Rep John Lewis will be the MCLA commencement speaker here in May. Of course he will. Will they make fun of Trump and the GOP at the commencement for wanting to find jobs for people to get them off government assistance or call them haters and bigots for wanting immigrants to come here legally? They can put Trump down for supposedly being too friendly with Russia even though Obama let Putin get away with everything which has turned Putin into a very powerful man, but the liberal media let that uncomfortable little detail slide.
Progressives in this area put down locals who don’t have a work ethic, but don’t get the connection between not having a work ethic and government handouts. The two are connected. Progressives want the votes so they make sure people get the handouts, but then put them down for what happens after they become dependent on the government programs. You heard the comments above about not staying on the job and showing up for work in pajamas which is supposedly why these same jobs keep appearing over and over in the paper. Not because there are more jobs in this area, but because people do not last long in these jobs.
I guarantee you that if you cut welfare programs you will hurt more people that voted for trump than not.
http://www.cheatsheet.com/money-career/whos-on-welfare-9-shocking-stats-about-public-assistance.html/?a=viewall
By May we will know if Trump gave us a middle class tax cut .We will know about a jobs bill to rebuild small city infastructure and for regressive we will know if wealthy and powerful have been spanked by Trump.We will also find out if he is incompetent to be president.
I heard one of the republican congressmen say that corporate taxes will be cut immediately and middle class workers taxes will have to be phased in over years. He literally said it would not happen during this administration. And I am not making this up. Sorry I do not remember his name.
Happy Birthday Champ!
Find the protesters at Inauguration to be boring and typical of Democratic Party. Just saw some footage of Bush’s first Inauguration, protesters were holding same signs we will see Friday. “Not my President “, “Racist”, “Impeach” they really need to change the playbook. Trump won, cry all you want it won’t change anything. Former President Obama, wow that had a nice ring to it.
Believe they will morph into rioters
All kid stuff compared to hatred displayed by regressive at Obama for 8 years.
Wasn’t their fault…Mitch McConnell told them to do it…they had no choice
The Democrat moonbats will riot Friday. Not just in DC but in cities across the country. Burning, looting turning over cars breaking windows and who knows what else. In the Democrat moonbat”s universe this is known as peaceful protest. Democrats are silly.
School Committee, you watch way too much MSLSD
That’s funny
There is definitely something fishy about the rapid demo of Dalton Ave fire. They were suppose to only take down the east half of the building. The gas co.was told to kill the gas to that half of the building for demo only to find out that the other half of the building had also come down with a live gas line attached. The contractor had no demo permit or digsafe to do the work to that half which was still in good condition. The demo of the whole building was definitely done totally illegally. I believe the demo contractor was also part owner of the building according to the Eagle. What were they trying to hide with this unlawful and unsafe fast act?
The facts? the Bartlett Afire was electrical wasn’t it. Who is doing pg the inspections on these Multi complexes?
Uh,….shhhhhh
I thought that was taken down too fast
Were they able to save the col Sanders statue? Give it to Krol and he can put it on his lawn and call it Bernie.
Good idea.
U.S. Rep Richard Neal visited MCLA yesterday and iberkshires reported the story with a headline reading, “The Democratic Party Needs a Reset”, while the Berkshire Eagle named their article, “Neal Vows to Fight for Access to Health Care.” It is the iberkshires article that is the most interesting.
The iberkshires article gives information on how Neal believes the Democratic party needs to change to answer the needs of workers across the country. I totally agree with Mr. Neal. Instead of worrying about social engineering and herding us in and out of bathrooms, and getting everyone fighting over race and sexual orientation, the Democratic party needs to come up with solutions for the very difficult issue of technology creating a completely different working environment across the country. They need to start using actual brain power to solve a host of problems related to jobs and job loss which is outlined very nicely in the iberkshires article. I think the Democratic party also needs to stop wanting to create big government. Big government is bad for both parties and especially bad for American citizens who will no longer have as much of a say in what happens in this country except for voting in all big government leaders every 4 years. Big government is all about taking power AWAY from the people which is why the politicians want it in the first place.
So if poor uneducated white hillbillies don’t have jobs and are obsessed with heroin-meth, are they really ‘working class’?
My problem with the Democrats are with the people who hijacked the party, that would be the progressives. The progressives are all about social engineering, sexual orientation and stirring up race relations. These are areas that government should stay away from in my opinion. If government created jobs and got the inner cities healthy with financial opportunities, that would be the best thing to happen and would solve so many of the other problems.
Financial opportunities are often created by government having fewer regulations on companies as Trump has said. The inner cities are in such turmoil because they are living in poverty with no hope in site. Michelle Obama talks about all of this hope that was created during her husband’s presidency. Unfortunately a lot of people in this country have lost hope for a better future for themselves and their families.
Actually, financial opportunities are often the result of innovation and research. Lack of government regulations led to years of lead, asbestos, and PCB contamination across America. Lack of government regulation, just like Trump wants, is why Pittsfield is a toxic wasteland.
And if you want an article that at least attempts to explain some statistics about what inner cities are, please:
http://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2016/10/trump-african-american-inner-city/503744/
They city of pittsfield gave GE permits to pollute
The regulations went too far in the other direction and tied the hands of businesses to operate in many instances.
I read the article. Very interesting. It admits, however, that many people of all races are still living in poverty even in the inner cities. Even being just above the poverty line isn’t good. Hope Trump can help all.
Pat, perhaps you could get a Bobo doll and kick the crap out of it every time thought of democrats entered your mind. Great cheap therapy.
Big government = BAD
Small government = GOOD

Did you see where a tractor-trailer jackknifed on Rte. 116 and took out an Adams school bus. Fortunately no youngsters injured, a blessing, but much to close for comfort. Thirty kids were in that school bus. Here’s the question: what in the world is a tractor-trailer truck doing on a narrow 2 lane road like Route 116? Come on power brokers – do the right thing and put an end to this threat to kids, and to all who use this road. Tractor-trailer trucks do not belong on this road.
Agree completely, CG!
Rt 116 is a state rd. If we ban tractor trailers ron 2 lane roads just where in Berk County can they travel?
Paul
On 3 and 4 lane roads . That’s where they belong. Two lane cross over mountain roads is not where they belong. Please stop and think. Thirty kids were at risk here. Tractor trailers can add a little more time to reach their destination and fulfill their contracts by staying on roads that have been designed for their train style attachments and always corporate type products.
Chuck, there are numerous 2 lane roads in Berk County, prime examples are Rt 7 and Rt 102. Both have plenty of school buses that use them. The list goes on and on. Please tell me where all these 4 lane highways are. If you are lucky you can find a few short sections that are wider.
MassDOT cannot prohibit trucks on state trunk lines. Period. Isnt worthy of an argument so will never happen.
Guess they ain’t gonna be able to come up with a cause for da fire. Ain’t that a shame? And I bet they really did want to know.
Howie Carr reported today that our illustrious state lawmakers are voting on yet ANOTHER raise for themselves tomorrow. This vote will tie in their pay raises to the state median income – therefore, no more voting on pay raises will be necessary…..their raises will be automatic!! Great timing sneaking this in, with the upcoming inauguration festivities. And of course, Charlie Baker is out of town attending private inauguration ceremonies in Indiana, so he won’t be questioned by the media about this vote.
GIGI
The Boston Globe had a story on this as well. They won’t be voting for the actual raises tomorrow but WILL be setting up the procedural mechanisms for it. This is a crime. The bums at the statehouse, nearly 90% Democrat, have along with the guv rung up billions of debt. Their response? A pay raise for themselves. It’s long past time to storm the steps of state and local government, torches in hand. If it was good enough for Frankenstein’s monster, it’s plenty too good for our state reps.
Are you following Reno Delgallo’s attempt to pass a local law, through the Human Rights Commission and City Council, which will tie the hands of “local officials” from questioning the immigration status of area persons? Thankfully Chief Wynn is questioning the legality of such a law, since our federal immigration laws are still on the books. To your point Dan, why should people who are here illegally be given any rights and special protections?? They are breaking the law by being in this country, and hopefully President-Elect Trump will see to it that our immigration laws are upheld and followed.
I heard fireworks and what seemed to be gunshots, could it have been a combination of both, what to do?
This is a great site, way to go Dan!
I agree, the best.
