COUNTY GOP EVENT AT MAZZEO’S FEB. 22 GIVES THE FINGER TO ONE-PARTY IRON-CURTAIN GRIP OF LOCAL DEMOCRATS
BY DAN VALENTI
PLANET VALENTI NEWS AND COMMENTARY
(FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE, FEB. 14, 2022) — Welcome to Valentine’s Day, lovers. Remember, you can’t spell “Valentine” with “Valenti.” THE PLANET hopes you have that “special someone” with whom to share the day’s amore.
We start with an upcoming event you may want to attend, especially if you do not enjoy hegemony and one-party rule — you know, what elsewhere they label authoritarianism. The only thing that prevents it from being totalitarian is lack of a military.
Of what does THE PLANET speak?
We refer to the nascent signs of life shown by the Berkshire County Republican Party. Long thought to be extinct, the local GOP has adopted a “Silent No More” attitude. Makes a great slogan, but, as we examined last week in our two-parter on the power of words, the declaration must produce action for it to mean anything. Otherwise, it’s just another version of Gerry Doyle’s banner proclamation: “It’s Happening!” Of course, in Doyle’s case, when barroom politics held sway and Tom Hickey served primarily as fixer to Gerry and his merry band of alcoholics, the words turned out to be true.
“It Happened,” all right. He and his beer-soaked cronies ran the city into receivership, a three-card-monty for which no one in government had to pay a price or offer restitution. That was left to Mary Jane and Joe Kapanski, that wonderful couple who in the quarter-century have become adept in sweeping up the piles of shit left by the elephants in the circus known as city government.
THE PLANET shares this announcement from Kathy Mickle:
———- ooo ———-
We are excited to invite you to the annual “Lincoln”celebration. However, this year we are”moving” it to George Washington’s birthday: February 22!

———- ooo ———-
Don’t mistake this as an endorsement of any political party or candidate. Do take it as THE PLANET‘s pushback to one-party rue. We’d do the same if the Republicans were in Stalinistic control.
Examine who represents the Berkshires in the General Court. A five-spot, all white, who have but one purpose: Play fetch, deliver the newspaper, obey the Masters’ wishes, and remain on the leash of the Bosses in Boston. For their ideological loyalty, these back-benchers get a no-show job, a free-parking space, six-figure compensation, and full-bennies.
THE PLANET urges you to attend the Feb. 22 event, if for nothing else than to enjoy the great food. Who knows? Maybe you might want to catch a spark from the glowing political embers.

I listen to all sides in politics and government within reason, such as me always denouncing Communists or Nazis. I believe the Republican Party has a lot of merit, such as limited government, law and order, national defense, pro-business free market economics, and so on. I believe the Democratic Party also has a lot of merit, such as progressive taxation (sans K Street’s PAC Man Richie Neal, D-Insurance Companies), supporting public education and social service and social insurance programs, standing for inclusivity in politics and government, and so on.
I agree with blogger Dan Valenti that Massachusetts is a one political (Dem.) Party state, and Pittsfield/Berkshire County shows it in spades to the detriment of the people and taxpayers who live in Western Massachusetts. The one whopper missing is that some politicians say they are Democrats to get elected and stay with the in-crowd, but they are nothing of the kind, such as former Pittsfield State Representative and current longtime greedy registered lobbyist Peter Larkin’s pro-GE and socially conservative public record. Living in the 2 political party state of New Hampshire, I see the opposite side of it with some Republican Party politicians who do the same because they want to be where the money and power is in Concord, NH, and beyond. My friend and Republican politician Joe Kelly Levasseur once told me that some Republican politicians in NH started by working for Democrats on Beacon Hill.
Lastly, the thing that bothers me the most about Pittsfield politics is that Mayor Linda Tyer and Kufflink$ Kerwood are raising municipal taxes (and fees and debts/liabilities) to record high levels on the proverbial Mary Jane and Joe Kapanski family, who are receiving substandard public services in return for their hard-earned municipal tax dollars. Pittsfield = Level 5 inner city public schools, always being in the 10 ten cities in Massachusetts for violent crime every year for decades, a dangerous downtown with dozens of empty storefronts called “Social Services Alley” and the distressed neighborhoods that surround North Street called “The Ring of Poverty”, severe economic inequality with Linda Tyer and CPA Barry Clairmont living in a mansion valued at over $800,000 in a Gated Community within a few feet of the Hancock border, a polluted and heavily indebted nearly 24-year-old PEDA debacle, and a corrupt state and local government derided by the people and taxpayers as always being “Business as usual”.

I will happily vote for a republican Pittsfield mayor whose first objective is to perform a forensic audit. Must promise to start it within the first two months of office. Process must include checking of all city toilets for shredded documents.
Right on The Fiz
(anyone named Kerwood need not apply)
Trump took top secret documents because that information is extremely valuable.Trump Republicans support his criminal acts at every turn.What happened to the republican party?Dan how long can you ignore the Trump story as it is easily the biggest news story in your lifetime.
Funny you don’t discuss the Durham report and the current revelations. It looks like Hillary learned a lot from Nixon and Watergate, except she went all steroids on it! Seems Hillary’s campaign, the CIA and the FBI were all in cahoots to spy on an American citizen and then the President of the USA. They even lied and made stories up, attempted to plant information and did a whole lot more than what happened at Watergate. That TDS is the biggest story of this generation which for some reason the press isn’t reporting….wait they were also in on it!!
He doesn’t speak of that story of a lifetime because he seems to be stuck on a one way street.
I agree about the fisa warrant being both unconstitutional and prob what lead to a complete breakdown of trust in government ling before Jan 6.
Way to go for Mazzeo on this gop whatever it it is. They are organizing something that strikes fear into the heart of the one party goons. Berkshire Co gets tolerated for their local goons because they deliver votes. If they don’t deliver the votes they don’t get mothership support. Great strategy.
This is local pols we are discussing. No TDS
Was he able to get the right documents that Putin wanted? Cuz Putin be mad if he got the wrong ones.
“Lila Morris’s body cam footage of herself beating an unconscious Rosanne Boyland over the head with a baton has been released and it is going viral on the internet.”
Rosanne is dead, Lila is one of Pelousey’s Capital Thug force. MSM? silent
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/02/evidence-capitol-police-release-new-video-officer-lila-morris-beating-already-unconscious-rosanne-boyland-stick-jan-6-video-super-pixilated-protect-morris/
MORE EVIDENCE: Capitol Police Release New Video of Officer Lila Morris Beating Already Unconscious Rosanne Boyland with Stick on Jan. 6 — But Video Is Super Pixilated to Protect Morris
“Activist Philip Anderson spoke with The Gateway Pundit about the Jan. 6 protests at the US Capitol and how the Capitol police murdered Rosanne Boyland and nearly took his life too.
The January 6 Commission will NEVER call in Philip Anderson to testify. It would blow up their narrative.
** We have reported on the tragic death of Rosanne Boyland several times now.
This was an amazing eyewitness report that has been ignored by the fake news media because it does not fit their narrative. A black Trump supporter was gassed with clouds of pepper spray, pushed down, and then nearly trampled to death as police officers continued to push Trump supporters on top of a pile of people outside the US Capitol.”
Hooray, it’s about time the Republican Party steps up to the plate!
You made my morning, Dan, with this announcement!
Gives me hope that we, the people, can change this train to hell being run by the DemocRATS!
Anyone watch the Super Bowl half time show ? Wow ! Is the NFL woke. Their DEI office was in stride. ( albeit wasn’t diverse. Somewhat one sided) They ain’t got nuffen on our Mayor though.
What was worse, half time show or commercials?
‘Tis a toss up! Both sucked
I wouldn’t know – I watched golf during half time.
I didn’t watch, I don’t care. I don’t even know who one the toilet bowl.
I don’t watch MSM fake news either.
There is rumblings of what transpired since I went on the internet today. Something about a vile POS who did the half-time show…..
Why did you choose the name of a slave as your handle only to then ridiculously mock efforts to foster diversity?
Biden’s “plan to foster diversity” for blacks and minorities, is the build crack better plan.
A cool 30 million for free pipes to smoke drugs in.
And an open border to the south to facilitate the poor disadvantaged criminal aliens, er drug mules human summglers terrorists…………come to America!
White people don’t smoke crack? Your lies and racism continue unabated.
Majority are blacks, especially if you take out Hunter Biden
Thanks for bringing the conversation back to the Bidens. I’m giving you (your only) upvote for defusing this obnoxious conversation.
Don’t like Biden’s plan, is it racist? It’s all demented Joe’s proposal of “a plan to foster diversity”. Yup, free crack pipes BH!
Joe’s #1 son is the poster boy for white crackheads. Remember all the stuff on Hunter’s laptop, that the FBI/MSM sat on all of 2020? Besides the perverted videos of him smoking crack with hookers, there were details of the Biden crime family dealings with foreign governments especially the Chi-Coms.
The Biden’s open and porous southern border is the major route drugs are coming into America. Ole Joe wants to keep the free crackpipes filled and addicts in misery.
Not exactly a robust list of candidates.
I think Geoff Diehl would make a great Guv.
Sullivan is hands down an improvement over Harrington.
Hoping the Republicans can front a common sense, proAmerica candidate to replace TFB who wants to give all kinds of privileges to illegals.
Dan, will you be there, or just your spies, gumshoes, and Z Agents?
Not sure yet. If I’m around and schedule allows, I’ll try to make it. If not, the place will be crawling with my spies, gumshoes, Z-Agents … in short, The Secret Squadron. There’s not a gather of that sort, Dem or GOP, that is safe from The Secret Squadron.
Okay sir, I understand you are a busy man. Thanks for the reply.
Dan , I’m curious as to what specific qualifications/guidelines you have for the Z- Agents to be included in your circle of trust ?
The selection process, like the process for the Orbit Award, is a secret.
Is Hardly Harrington going to run for higher office (please, pretty please, so we can be done with her)?
The real question is why aren’t the heavyweights coming out of the woodwork to knock Harrington into next month? What do your spies, gum shoes, and Z Agents know about thatDan?
They would rather sit on the sidelines and complain on Social media and most have very delicate egos
Is the fix in already?
Sullivan Mr I’m not into politics is a Republican. Geez at least have the stones to embrace it.
Any way but Wrong Way.
This sounds like Andy who is Hammer and Sickle Harrington’s toy puppy.
Actually, he’s unenrolled.
Not anymore he’s not
“Sure Thing”
One who is an Independent and has been openly invited to discuss their views of how they would be as District Attorney at an event regardless of what party invited them would be a fool not to accept and attend. Just because an independent candidate attends an event does not mean that they are in that party. I am sure that when the Democratic Committees throughout the county call, he will accept those invitations too. Will you call him a Democrat then? What I find ironic is in a time when our country is so polarized and people want someone who is independent and willing to work with everyone regardless of political affiliation and for what’s best for ALL of their constituents, their neighbors, and they’re attacked. In the words of President Biden “Come on Man!”
Republicans need to start talking about all the things that we know are going on in this country. Expose everything to the light of day. Too much of the plans of the globalists and the far left has been hidden from the public while they keep us fighting about racism and getting rid of the police. Telling us that the Build Back Better Plan is mainly about free childcare while not telling the public about everything else in that bill. Kevin McCarthy did a great job in his 12 hour speech telling the country about the nefarious plans of the far left for the country. Now all Republicans need to follow the lead of Kevin McCarthy and also bring into the conversation what the globalists are trying to do to our country.
Seriously Pat? Can you name me one republican that would like to talk to the real press and expose everything to the light of day? Everything? Most of them are literally running from reporters these days.
They aren’t hiding like the Democrats are doing, like Biden is doing since he can’t talk legibly. The Democrats are so unpopular because their policies are terrible. More women are dying from out of control crime due to the justice reform of these Soros appointment district attorneys, the defunding of police, go easy on criminals policies of the far left. They are supposed to be the champions of women, according to them, but the media is silent on all of the women being stabbed to death or sexually assaulted in these big cities by criminals who should have been in jail and would have been, if it weren’t for this so-called justice reform.
You could not name one. Not even one. Just changed the subject.
FOX news is doing a good job of exposing Hillary Clinton and her spying on President Trump and creating the false narrative that he was in collusion with Russia. Republicans are on FOX news saying there is no way she should run for president again because of her illegal activities and that is a great start to facing reality and shining a light on the nefarious actions of the far left.
Poor Hilary will be in jail.
Lock her up!
Hillary Clinton should not run for any public office again because she is a total “feminist” hypocrite with her absolute loyalty to her sexually deviant and bald faced liar husband Bill Clinton, who is a twice over Convicted Felon (for Perjury and Suborning Perjury), a sexual harasser of women, he is the Prez who turned the Oval Office into the Oral Orifice (where Monica Lewinsky gave him blow jobs after he put his cigar in her vagina and then puffed away on it while Monica was puffing away on him under the resolute desk), who has 26 flight logs on Jeffrey Epstein’s private jet, who allegedly had sex with sex trafficked girls as young as 14 years old on Jeffrey Epstein’s pedo-island and possibly elsewhere, and so on. Hillary Clinton is fake! Bill Clinton is a Perv! They are a pair for the ages! No more Bill & Hillary Clinton, please; thank you. Just retire already and go far away from the Swamp!
You voted for Hilary, hypocrite!
and what about Woodrow Wilson??? This guy is hiding things we don’t even know about and Hillary might be assisting him to do it to us. For all we know Soros could be helping Woodrow Wilson to take America down behind our backs and unbeknownst to us and we never find out about it.
Wilson didn’t need help screwing the USA up.
If you really think senile Biden is running the country…….think again!
This is Obama’s third term.
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/02/evidence-obama-running-white-house-call-dems-congress-minus-senile-joe-biden/
Obama meeting with members of Congress? He just happens to be one of the people pushing for the elite globalists to rule over the world because he is one of the elite globalists along with Kerry, Prince Charles, and all of the super rich who want even more money and power. Obama can do what he wants behind the scenes to promote this globalist agenda. As an ex-president, he shouldn’t be allowed to formally meet with current members of Congress to influence policy.
You think Obama wasn’t born in Hawaii, don’t you?
I don’t care where he was born, he doesn’t want the best for this country. Neither does Kerry, Obama, or Hillary.
Pat there is a story in today’s paper about local nursing homes you might want to read. There has to be a better way to take care of our aging population because nursing homes are not working at all.
Use the Andrew Cuomo plan, place Covid infected criminal inmates into nursing homes with the at risk eldery.
“Grabbing fannies and killing grannies”
Barry was born to a white trash woman and a black genocidal communist
father.
A match made in heaven
and yet he got to be president of the United States. How about you? McDonald’s manager?
Selected, not elected.
Well then congratulations. I hear managers get ten percent off their burgers so you must be happy about that.
I don’t visit nor eat, the foul spoor at your favorite drive-in, McDogballs.
The big guy gets 10%
Of course he was. I saw him wearing a grass skirt and his coconuts were hanging out
He wasn’t. He stated as much in his first book.
Oh please. Birtherism is racism. The end.
Untrue.
Donald Trump is meeting with Putin and helping with the invasion of Ukraine. He is training soldiers and KGB agent at Mara Largo using tax payer monies. It is all true and not really a nice thing to do if you ask me.
Addicts will pay big $$$ for what you are on.
uh, so how much are you offering?
Putin just made fools of the Biden crime cartel.

Biden has another sleazy deal in the works for Ukraine. Bribes to cover up his last deal for which he/Hunter/Jim should have been prosecuted.

Biden’s NSA advisor, Jake Sullivan is involved, he’s up to his eyeballs in revelations of the Durham investigation.
Hannity loves to find empty heads to fill with fairy tales. And it looks like you still have a little space left.
Fizzled , have you heard what’s coming out in the Durham report? Your favorite news, The View, and ABC/NBC/CBS/CNN have been silent

You been sniffin’ the skunk pot Bubba?
He uses the free crack pipe he got from sleepy Joe.
You must be a close friend of crooked Hilary.
Nobody thinks Biden is running the country
But he does get the runs
The profound amateurism of local Republican party, in repeatedly backing poor candidates- caccaviello last election ( William’s rape crisis) and low integrity Sullivan now( his October surprise worse).
Congratulations you’ve
Just exposed good candidates to being smeared by association, when the facts of subpar Sullivans flaws become evident.
Kathy Mickle
Insanity is doing same thing repeatedly, hoping for different outcome.
Sometimes it’s best to do nothing!
Ms Harrington appreciates your contribution to her election. Again!
Totally agree!! Clueless fools
Squeaky is zero integrity. She’s bimfoon. A combo of a bimbo and buffoon.
I do agree with you to a point Thomas. Sullivan better have his ducks in a row and be prepared for a knock down, drag out, type campaign.
Wrong Way Harrington, has the progressive money sources and people ready to dig down and dirty on him, under the guise of “social justice.”
The entire campaign against him will be focus on his lack of a vagina. That’s essentially how Nips won last time
Can Andreas assistant void the election results if it does not turn out right?
Maybe? Or she could hire a tech firm to spy on Sullivan and then create a fake dossier against him. Say maybe, child porn or racist material. That would sink him.
So, why isn’t Durham charging anyone with illegal surveillance? Hmmm? Goodness, the Fox News dotards are like moths to the flame.
hmmm clearly he isnt done yet and people are now singing. No wonder you never made partner.
What people? Hillary is not going to get charged.
You Trumpistas are hilarious in your delusions.
Sullivan loves the booze a little to much lots of that a little later. Apparently he likes to Drunk dial the DA and challenge her to 3:00 am debates. Then goes on social media like a scorned teenager claiming she blocked me. He is getting the same old advice from the same old bitter old boys club which will be the same result.
Troll!
Surprised you haven’t followed the news regarding libel cases. Malicious slander (stuff you know is false or misleading) is a (costly) tort, and they are not too hard to try for a private citizen when the defendant is sloppy. You know, posting ribald slanders publicly in writing using proper names and the like. Too bad hiding behind a pen name doesn’t actually protect you. Please tell me you do not work for the DA’s office!
Not that Sullivan would care. In fact, I suspect he welcomes your evidence that he is on the right track.
She won because she worked harder and had more money. Paul was a good guy who had a bunch of complete fools running his campaign.
Squeaky won because the women of woke couldn’t detect a total joke. Squeaky has become a punch line much like Yuki. I think even the woke women of the Berkshires are on to her.
She received 63% percent of the male vote. Psst somebody needs you at the drive thru
ReSLUT of protruding nips on idy bidys.

Awww Bleak, disappointed that your hero Hillary just got caught red-handed?
Crying “Russia” about everything is getting old!
It takes a thief (bleak) to know thief (Shillary)
Except she didn’t. Unlike you, I don’t get my news from the Kremlin.
Good irony, BH!
Anyone who reads TGP and Zerohedge is a moron.
Not the only place to get news though.
That’s just it. Those “places” contain no news.
Except they do. try harder
Anyone who steals from Sherwood Guernsey is a moron

Trail for treason then a rope and tree, it would be bigger than the toilet bowl!
Imagine the $$$ for the commercial time.
The Ruling Elites are all totally DISCONNECTED from the people and taxpayers they are supposed to be serving in all levels of government. They are only concerned about money and power so they will be reelected in non-competitive so-called “elections” which are really fixes. The only real political party is the Incumbent party. Smitty Pignatelli gets to pull his nomination papers for his 11th term (2023 – 2024) in Boston tomorrow, February 15th, 2022. He is in his 20th year on Beacon Hill, and his public record is him serving his political masters there so he can vote for and/or accept all of the countless public pay raises and perks he has happily taken since 2003. In the Swamp, Joe Biden is spending well over $10 trillion federal dollars per year, and hardly any of it is helping the people who are paying for 40-year high U.S. inflation, which is worse than any federal tax out there. Where does all of the Biden Buck$ go to? K Street top corporate lobbyist firms reported record earnings in 2021. Wall Street had record numbers, too. Joe Biden took in more campaign donations from K Street and Wall Street than any other candidate for elected office in 2020. The picture is clear to me, and it is called ECONOMIC INEQUALITY, while the Financial, Corporate and Ruling Elites are earning and spending trillions of U.S. Dollars during the Biden Administration!
Jonathan A. Melle
Well, I am keen on reading such articles and I always compare with other top authors. Strange as it may seem, but you’ll find a really extraordinary opinion on this point on compacom.com. I don’t know which one is true. Read it yourself and make up your mind which side to take.
Not seeing a lot of actual republican enthusiasm here. Are there any serious candidates or are the Tyer/Barry crowd going to be running the show forever and ever?
No city elections this year Bubba.
So you are saying that they are out there but just keeping their powder dry? I just want something to get my hopes up in case I am still around.
FIZZ
That last prepositional phrase says it all. That anybody might be around in the near future is an open question.
Bubba, let’s just hope reasonable voters of all persuasions vote Harrington out before we get more of a crime epidemic.
Just read the local hate rag and RBass still has her Uber far left head up her #$$!! Seems she doesn’t understand the liberal witch hunt that has been going on for a year, waiting until election time to spew their lies about what happened on 1/6. But I digress, this myopic hate writer loves to tell us how we should live, be environmentally friendly create a small carbon foot print, when for years she lived well away from her employment, speeding to work and flying all over the globe and reporting about her vacations which she and her husband undoubtedly wrote off as a business expense. How much environmental damage have you done in your lifetime is what I would like to know. I would also like to know how much damage she has done to the Berkshires with her nonstop brainwashing to the far,far left agenda
The Becket neighbors are well advised to fight to the death against pot growers in their backyard. It stinks and bad. Just ask the West Stockbridge folks who live near the pot farm. It smells horrible all summer and fall and there’s nothing they can do about it now. The same WS potheads are now fighting against the return of the WilliamsvillecInn after nimbying away a treatment house.
At least the Becket neighbors have a chance to fight it and they should. As a resident of the Allendale neighborhood in the City of Potsfield, we were never given the chance to fight against the grow factory and soon to be expanded on Dalton Avenue. We were not given the chance to fight against the methadone clinic either. What use to be a nice quiet family orientated neighborhood has turned into a irate rude stoned driver racetrack with no police presence. At least Becket will only have to endure the stench all summer and fall, Allendale hard working taxpayers have to endure the stench year round. Our lack luster absent Mayor just wants the revenues and she has yet to tell the taxpayers how much she has taken or swindled in. Of course not one City Councilor has asked for an update on how much and where this money is? The puppets must have been told to be quiet!
But isn’t all that gravy train pot money keeping our taxes low? Just like the lottery money? And all the new growth in Pittsfield?
How about all the money they saved on the mild winter last year? Or this year? Or the money they saved by streamlining the city health plan?
Or is that just all part of the Tyer/Barry/Kerwood mirage?
Every farm has a stench come growing season…But instead of skunk…It’s often the smell of S–T… Agriculture is not odorless
I love the smell of farming. I hate the smell of recreational drugs hijacking the health of our neighbors.
If they can shut down a cell tower they should be able to shut down a pot farm
The verdict is not in on the cell tower. Not sure Pittsfield has the power to shut down the tower, they approved.
True that. I grow up next to Burgners Farm, holy shit did it stink.
I worked farms as a youngster, cows, pigs, chickens, horses, sheep………
I imagine turkey poop is right up there with chickens.
Interesting that Robert Sullivan doesn’t think that the DA’s office should be political and is allegedly running “unenrolled”, yet he’s on the list to partake in a GOP event?
Andrea Harrington is welcome to drop by and speak to those in attendance.
Good luck with that. Harrington doesn’t speak unscripted or show up in court. She’s a phony without moral compass. How does Harrington sleep at night knowing what a fraud she is?
My guess is that he’ll be speaking to many diverse groups of voters in an effort to earn their votes.
30% voted red in Pittsfield. Some most should agree that 30% represents a legitimate interest. Plus, Large body of independents. That is a mix of those who want party choice in primaries, and those who don’t see a reason to identify as a party animal. And Sullivan is right: a DA should not apply party politics to the Law. Doesn’t mean a DA doesn’t work within party structures which would be ideal.
Harrington stated during her campaign that is important to have Democrats in the DA office. I wouldn’t fault her for campaigning in Democrat venues, but her distinguishing between Republican versus Democrat legal theory is kind of disturbing.
That is indeed “a legit interest.” Moreover, the unenrolled are not Dems for a reason. It only takes a few of them. Key is turnout. The Dems will get their usual suspects. For the GOP to win, it has to “get out the vote” among those who are pissed but who for whatever reason don’t take their anger to the ballot box.
Democrats win when when they make it about the Party (ie big national concept.) They lose when the voter thinks about the local. I wouldn’t want to encourage any politician to identify with the national party. Bad habit, causes dental decay too.
“When Russia doesn’t invade Ukraine tomorrow – the Biden regime will say they stopped it.”
“Tulsi Gabbard: “The Durham investigation makes clear that Hillary Clinton and the power elite spied on the Trump campaign and White House, undermining our democracy, launching us into a new Cold War, endangering America and the world. Clinton and her warmongers must be held accountable.”
President Trump was right. He was being spied on. Lesley Stahl berating him during an interview saying, “There is no evidence” she said repeatedly. She knew full well he was being spied on since all of the media was in on this. All of the wealthy elites, big tech, and many in the public especially school unions knew all about the spying. It is so disgusting.
Here is the interview of Lesley Stahl treating Trump like he is as mentally messed up as Biden is right now. She talks so condescending and doubling down on the lies of the media. Where is Lesley now? In her mansion with all the money she earned from lying to the public. They were even giving each other prizes in the media for reporting on Trump and Russia collusion which they knew was based on a pack of lies.

Talking about the huge increase in water and sewer, everyone should ask why the ARPA money wasn’t all designated towards water and sewer. Call your councilors and demand answers. With the $40 million available they rates could have stayed stable, not sure what Kenwood was mumbling about. I still think it was illegal when they separated water and sewer from the property taxes to circumvent 2 1/2.
They had a chance to accept Gaetani proposal and ran and hid. Taxpayers deserve the increase for letting these clowns run ruff shod with that over- sight. And blame Donna Todd Rivers for her vote to at least explore that.
So Sullivan says he’s running without a political designation and isn’t a politician, doesn’t want to have politics in the office but is having his first political event run and sponsored by the Berkshire County Republican Association and a guest at an event with Geoff Diehl (who will never figure out which party he really belongs to)
Sullivan wants to associate himself with Trumpers who think the intersection wasn’t anti-American, fine. But he’s treating voters like idiots if he says he’s not political, then is part of a political fundraiser.
He should own up to who he is and what he stands for. Everyone will see this anyways.
