CORRUPTION UNBOUND: UKRAINE ‘AID’ TOPS $100B, with LITTLE ACCOUNTING … BIDEN, BLINKEN ONCE MORE HAVE THEIR CLOCKS CLEANED BY XI, LI, & CHINA
BY DAN VALENTI
PLANET VALENTI NEWS AND COMMENTARY
(FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE, WEDNESDAY FEB. 22, 2023) — Seems that while THE PLANET and everyone else were all asleep Sunday-into-Monday, Syracuse Joe hopped a freight train and snuck over to Kiev, Ukraine, where he met with fellow comedian Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
“That’s two “z”s, as Buddy Sorrell used to say about his “r”s and “l”s.
Biden, Vlad, and Buddy: three human joke machines.
By the way, the train that the President took to Ukraine didn’t derail once.
———- ooo ———-
Having dodged that bullet, Biden assured the billionaire Zelenskyy of an additional $500 million of Mary Jane and Joe Kapanski’s money to buy Mr. Z some shiny new weapons to continue his fight with that other Vlad, Mr. Putin, a Bogeyman, Monster, Blackboard Scratcher rolled into one.
Allow THE PLANET to crunch the numbers. To date, the Kapanskis have sent roughly — extremely roughly — $100 billion to Zelenskyy [source USA Today, 2/20/23]. Salon puts the bill at $110 billion. Ah, a billion here, a billion there, pretty soon we’ll be talking about real money.
The war’s has been going on for exactly one year come Friday. That works out to about $28 million a day, $1.15 million an hour, $191,000 each second.
———- ooo ———-
Back in the USSR … and Ukraine
The $100 billion to Ukraine and growing may soon approach the $146 billion the U.S. wasted in Afghanistan, and that was over 20 years. And get this. Despite the staggering amount begin funneled in Ukraine, the Department of Defense “was unable to provide end-use monitoring” of the money.” That conclusion came from the Pentagon’s inspector general. Translated into civilianese, it means U.S. taxpayers have no accounting and oversight once the $$$ arrive in Zelenskyy’s hands, to dole out as he wishes. The out-of-control corruption among Ukraine officials is a running joke. Tell you what, though, no one on THE PLANET is laughing.
All this comes as
- (a) VP Harris says Russia has committed “crimes against humanity.”
- (b) Defense Secretary Blinken met with his Chinese counterpart, Wang Li, lecturing him about supplying Russia with “lethal aid.”
- (c) Blinken also warned China not to get “too close to Russia.”
Where does one begin with such hypocrisy?
———- ooo ———-
As for (a), ALL wars, throughout all history, constitute crimes against humanity. To single out this one would be to become tone deaf to war’s inhuman song.
When it comes to (b), Blinken’s stupefying tone ranks as unbelievable. He issues threats to Li about supplying “lethal aid,” when the United States and NATO (through America’s arm twisting) has armed Zelenskyy to the gums. Since when does America have the right to direct China’s foreign policy? This type of “ugly Americanism” has characterized the Biden Administration’s foreign policy from day one. The result?
- A new “Cold War” against China.
- Rallying nuclear weapons developments in Russia and North Korea
- A proxy war with Russia that has ICBMs on hair-trigger alert, which the Joint Chiefs probably see as temptation.
- Moving the Doomsday Clock closer to midnight than anytime in history.
In response to Blinken haughty comments, China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Wang Wenbin said, “It is the U.S., not China, that has been pouring weapons into the battlefield. The U.S. is in no position to tell China what to do. We would never stand for finger-pointing, or even coercion and pressurizing from the U.S. on our relations with Russia.” THE PLANET agrees with Wenbin.
China’s objection covers (c) as well. There’s gall, there’s nerve, there’s stupidity, and then there’s Biden’s foreign policy. Telling a sovereign nation with whom it can have relations smacks of the worst level of American hubris. It also reveals the depth to which Biden, Blinken, and Nod have sunk when it comes to Sino diplomacy.
China actually has been the voice of calm and reason in the Ukraine crisis. The best way to end the nightmare in Ukraine is for Zelenskyy to accede the eastern Donbas region to Russia, declare victory, and go back to telling jokes on his billions.
Have a great weekend, everybody.

It’s designed to have no accounting of monies from our government so the money laundering is harder to track to all the usual suspects.
Forensic audit.
It’s why in the red states, the D’s attack ads seemed to outnumber the Republican ads, 10-1.
Ukraine is the perfect money launderer for Barry, Big Mike, Xiden, John Kerry, and all of those other “climate change” nutjobs.
Look at some of these candidates the D’s literally roll out, like John Fetterman.
In fairness to Fetterman, I would take him over Tricia Farley-Country Buffet (D-illegal immigrants). Both of them are worthless as politicians. Fetterman is just a tad more photogenic than TFCB…..and that ain’t sayin’ much.
Fetterman sounds like TSC writes
Please write about Pittsfield politics instead of the ongoing war(s) and the threat of China invading Taiwan in 2025.
Newsflash! It’s his blog! PV should charge you a fee to write what you want to read.
Blogger Dan Valenti edited out over 90 percent of my post on Planet Valenti. I hope to ask: What the Hell is the difference between Joe Biden (& John Forbes Kerry & Hillary Clinton) voting 20 years ago in the U.S. Senate for George W. Bush’s invasion of Iraq (which has the world’s 2nd largest oil reserves second only to MBS’ Saudi Arabia) versus Putin’s Russian invasion of Ukraine one year ago and Xi’s Chinese planned invasion of Taiwan that is predicted to take place in 2025? Is NOT Joe Biden the pot calling the kettles – Putin & Xi – black? The U.S. Government started the military invasions of foreign countries in the 21st Century. What the Hell did the U.S. Government expect would happen after Bush with Biden’s full support invaded Iraq for its oil?
The difference is during the four years under President Trump vs. Bush/Clinton/Barry/Xiden, is we had NO WARS under President Trump. Mean tweets don’t start wars JM.
Pussy-willows and easily triggered “males” like you voted for this. Mean tweets and locker room guy talk offended you JM, remember?
I certainly do. You posted about it ad nauseum.
Instead of questioning your fellow posters, why don’t you explain to us how laundering all the money to Ukraine has helped you out JM. It certainly hasn’t helped me, my family, or my retirement plans.
Why do you attempt to rewrite history? This actually happened in your life time. Iraq was the aggressor attacking one of the countries we had an agreement with to protect. Hence we helped a little country stay free. Unfortunately the only way Hussein could stay in power was to stay in a state of war so he couldn’t follow the peace treaty that he signed. Correct me if I’m wrong but I didn’t see Ukraine try to invade anyone nor Tawain.
“Blogger Dan Valenti edited out over 90 percent of my post on Planet Valenti.”
Well, it’s either he or you who does the editing, isn’t it?
Why Jon? Because the warm senile turd you voted for is leading us into World War 3? We had peace through strength with Trump. Biden/Obama’s foreign policy has been a complete disaster, along with his domestic policies!
Wise up dude!
The “big guy” went over to get his 10% and Hunter’s paycheck.
This corruption goes back to Sotero when he and the CIA, had Zelensky installed, 2014.
Meanwhile Traitor Joe: has no regard for America with horde’s of criminals pouring across the border, out of control price increases for food and energy, Chi-Com spy balloons allowed to overfly nuclear weapons installations, a “woke” military leadership more concerned with gender pronouns than being an effective fighting force, and a leftist federal government which employs as workers, every kind of pervert and deviant known to man.
Gender pronouns? Trapper, when are you going to learn how to form plurals? (‘ horde’s ‘). My 3rd graders can do it.
Did Tyer send them any ARPA money? Shirley could deliver the check and get a nice little trip.
Let the Morning Drive Stooge do it. He$ been all over the world.
How the hell does he do that stupid show with the school license at his home? The other thing is he still on and doing it? I would think the show which was originally the current D A and then John Krol who did it in a studio setting would be a little upset after they built a brand new facility at pctv ? Which for whatever reason he doesn’t show up at?
It is like he has his own Fox news channels to promote the special interest agenda. How much of the production is paid for by public tax dollars under the table? It is clear he intends to use social media as a large part of his campaign.
Jules Verne ain’t got nothin’ on him.
Putin has played this one perfectly. Donald Trump quote.
Never thought of that. ARPA Bux to the Ukraine. And include a 10% “finder’s fee.”
“For the big gal”
Did you hear about what the mayor said when asked about how much of the money was left in ARPA account? She stated:”Because of there being constant movement in the account, she couldn’t say”. Yeah ok.
“Constant movement.” Sounds like great accounting has been going on with ARPA.
Would “constant movement” also include in its definition:
The PhD-of ‘Da Grift,’ aka-the cultural competency coach, taking a family and friends trip to Africa with her slice of the ARPA pie count as “constant movement”?
Of course this in addition to whatever other fraudulent ways the money has “constant movement,” or in layman’s terms, disappeared.
Asking for a friend (Nicky Pumpus) who wants to remain anonymous.
This horse$h!t phrase by Flat might even be better than “vibrant and dynamic.”
Constant movement as it is being washed? Not even an attempt to answer? tells you all you need to know about this character.
Get out if you can.
Never leaving. Homesteading. The winter sowing is in full swing. Staying.

If Trump were President we never have to worry about Purin.
You would indeed have to worry about Putin, just in a different way.
If putin weren’t putin we’d also worry about him in a different way.
Yes, the same way we worry about TSC
Taking back all the crap you spewed about Trump?
You were one of the biggest anti-Trumpers on this board!
No discernment!
Putin loves having Americans fighting among themselves. The more divided America is the better for him.
Putin knows his biggest supporters are the Republican MAGAs
Thanks for keep in’ it cuckoo
Fixed it Fizzled. Barry got the ball rolling.
Sotero loves having Americans fighting among themselves. The more divided America is the better for him.
Putin and democrats both hate America
Democrats more so. They are stabbing America in the back, Putin is up front about it.
News flash: dems do not hate America.
Thanks, I needed a good laugh:)))))))
“To Poland, please accept our apologies. No one will claim voting for him here so we don’t know how he got to be potus, but we are still ashamed. You can keep him if you like. Watch out. He’s a sniffer.”
Biden is putting the final nails into the racist pro Russia republican party of MAGA snowflakes who supported Trumps dismantling of N.A.T.O for Putins invasion of ukraines democracy.Putin already controls 8 % of all exposed land on earth and you numbnuts think he will stop there.The American Oligarchy party of fascist are 100% dependent on lies to steer the ignorant in the direction of Authoritarian rule by lies and deception.The Russian propaganda station we call FOX sleep your way to fascism for Senior white men with bad bowel habbits.If this political party was given an IQ test nobody would score over 99…..The Republican Speaker just handed over 40k hours of video to Tokyo Rose Tucker.
TSC, Biden has 20 criminal aliens coming to live with you.
10% to the big guy….. throw a bone to corn pop too.
Totally agree.
70% of its Siberia cuckoo man
Word salad! Since when is Ukraine in NATO?
Did I hear someone say that Trump dismantled NATO? How did I miss that? Did you catch that Agent86?
He just demanded that the members paid their obligated amounts which hasn’t been happening .
Yes – that would blow the whole organization apart. If the US insists on Euro’s paying their share for defending their stupid borders, borders that they alone don’t recoginize anymore under E.U., that’s a show-stopper.
Why should the Euros pay anything at all? Their wars have always, since Wilson, been OUR problem. For example, Hitler invades France, they lay down their arms and become nazis. It’s up to the USA to fix that.
The Euro’s collectively ruined the 20th century. They burnt it completely down. Enlightenment? Poof! That burnt fast and hot. Classical thought? Whoosh! It would have been a fabulous century if they weren’t around. We’d be fine if an asteroid smashed that part of the continent and left nothing behind (joke, of course, for those with no sense of hyperbole). But no, we got WWI, WWII, genocides, shit-philosophy, nihilism, and organized-crime states.
Now they are getting started, in the appropriate decade at that, to ruin the 21’st century. I agree with the sentiment that a bit of care and skepticism should be afforded the excesses of Europe.
My thought on the Ukraine is that we bought it by appeasing Putin since 2014. Now that he bust in, we need to pin point how to defeat what remains of a weak and recycled army. That probably lies in air control to eliminate trenches, command logistics, and hardware. I suspect we don’t do that because it would preclude the waste and fraud.
I bet a large chunk of it never went to Ukraine, but is being used for green energy and payoffs to large companies to support it.
Bet they bought some Belgian chocolates for themselves as well. Sounds like something they would pull on the American people. It is awful.
10% “for the big guy”
Inflation = 20% now for the big guy.
and yet corporate America is cleaning up. Many with record profits. Big Pharma is rolling in gold doubloons
How could big pharma possibly be doing well with a Covid pandemic and forced vaccinations?????
The chief executives of Pfizer, BioNTech and Moderna have shared more than $100mn in pay during the pandemic reflecting the huge commercial success of the mRNA Covid vaccines developed by their pharmaceutical companies. Albert Bourla of Pfizer, Ugur Sahin of BioNTech and Stéphane Bancel of Moderna have also seen their paper wealth grow over the past two years because of share price increases driven by investor enthusiasm for companies developing Covid-19 vaccines and treatments. The mRNA vaccines made by Pfizer, BioNTech and Moderna have saved millions of lives during the pandemic while also transforming the companies developing them and prompting a surge in share prices. Pfizer’s stock price is up 60 per cent over the past 24 months, while the value of BioNTech and Moderna’s shares has tripled and increased by five times, respectively. Moderna’s Bancel and Sahin of BioNTech have become paper billionaires as a result of their 7.8 per cent and 17.1 per cent shareholdings in the companies, which are worth about $5.4bn and $7.8bn, respectively. The BioNTech/Pfizer jab generated $37.5bn in revenues last year and Moderna’s shot made $17bn, according to Airfinity, a data group. An analysis of the remuneration packages of the mRNA vaccine makers in 2020 and 2021 shows that Pfizer chief Bourla was awarded the biggest pandemic pay rise. He received $45.3mn in 2020-2021, compared with $27.7mn in 2018-2019, a period during which he was promoted from chief operating officer to CEO in January 2019. Sahin received $30.8mn in remuneration in 2020-21, compared with $8.5mn in 2018/2019. Bancel’s total remuneration fell during the pandemic, declining from $67.5mn in 2018-2019 to $31.1mn in 2020-2021. But that was primarily because of a one-off gain following Moderna’s IPO in 2018 which netted him $58.6mn of stock option gains. Total remuneration at the three Jefferies, an investment bank. Recommended Covid-19 vaccines Covid-19 vaccine tracker: Lowest-income countries lag further behind rest of the world “Most investors do not have an issue with executives getting fairly compensated, particularly when they have overseen such an increase in company value.” The biopharma industry said the rewards were justified given the extraordinary efforts made by leaders during the pandemic in developing Covid jabs. “Thanks to their hard work, we achieved a vaccine in record time and currently have multiple vaccines available — enough to reach every corner of the globe,” said John Murphy, chief policy officer at Bio, an industry trade group. Bancel has cashed in on the phenomenal rise in market capitalisation of Moderna by selling $404mn of shares since January 2020, according to data from Verity. Bourla sold $5.6mn of shares on the same day that Pfizer and BioNTech said their vaccine was 90 per cent effective against Covid. The “windfall profits” drew fire from Elizabeth Warren, liberal Democratic senator, who called on the SEC to consider regulatory “reforms that would prevent abusive practices”. Sahin has not made any significant share sales. Pfizer said Bourla’s bonus was appropriate based on his exceptional leadership, his focus on long-term strategy and his contributions to the company’s performance in 2021. Moderna said the increase in executive pay reflected significantly expanded responsibilities during the pandemic. It added that 94 per cent of Bancel’s 2021 award was performance-based and consisted mainly of equity awards tied to the company’s performance over a four-year period.

I refuse to read this. No paragraph breaks.
Big Pharma? How many jabs ya had fizzled?
More than you might think and in different ways
Fizzy, ever get a job from a poor guy? And I don’t mean that kind of job.
Stooge talks to himself. That’s his show.
Fortunately for him he doesn’t listen though
So long as the big guy gets his 10% it’s all good.
“Big Guy” Biden and his far left globalist friends are going to get us involved in WWIII. There is nobody to put on the brakes with either side. Nobody is calling for peace.
Biden looking very frail. Biden keeps up this pace Harris will be President. Better stay at home Joe.
“You are not alone son…
We’ll affirm you.
We’ll build you up.
We’ll train you.
We’ll discipline you
and we’re going to be here for you.”
McCarthy is speaker of the House. Is he trying to stop anything? If not why not?
He doesn’t have control of the Senate. If he did, they could try impeachment to get rid of Biden. I admit that many Republicans are in on this globalist scheme to start war. Neither side in this fight cares about the people. We are looking at worldwide starvation if this war continues and escalates, but nobody wants to do anything to stop it. Why? Both sides want a war to take control of the world. Either Russia/Iran/China vs. the globalists. We are all stuck in the middle of their fight.
It is definitely not a good thing if Russia and China band together against us. And it is even worse when Russia, China and the MAGA crowd band together against America. You do not have to listen to Tucker Carlson very long to see who side he is on.
The globalist are not a good side to be on either. They want total domination just as much as China/Russia. Biden should have NEVER got us involved with these nasty power hungry globalists. We should stay out of this war.
I think the taxpayers side
It’s a good idea but how to implement?
He released the J6 video footage Sciffhead kept hidden.
WWIII just now wouldn’t be a terrible thing. Russia would fire all its missles at us and we’d discover they are all duds. Peace on our terms!
The time for WWIII is now or never!
Big Guy? Have you seen that huge belly trump is lugging around? Can’t even play a whole game of golf anymore as it gets in the way when he gets to the green. Saw a video where he had to be lifted out of his golf cart with an engine hoist.
Is that the one where Biden sniffs Trump’s hair?
https://nypost.com/2023/02/22/biden-stumbles-up-air-force-one-stairs-again-leaving-poland/
That’s not why we call him “Big Guy”. It has to do with his son Hunter referring to his father as “The Big Guy”. This was during secret conversations about Hunter’s business with China and Ukraine.
Well, we and Ukraine are but Putin won’t stop.
I believe Barry Sotero and Big Mike have realized that cheating on election day has run its course. They’ve done it twice and know the third time won’t be a charm.
What’s left to ensure the D’s stay in power: a world war.
China’s getting ready to attack Taiwan. Iran is building a nuclear weapon that they have earmarked for Israel. Who knows what North Korea will do? And “The Big Guy” is pushing Russia into World War III.
All of this over FUC**NG Ukraine.
If ‘mean tweets’ and ‘locker room-guy talk,’ triggered people like JM, TSC, and other likeminded posters, so much so that they supported Joe Xiden and his policies. The thought of WWIII being brought on by their supreme leader must have them eating a steady diet of baby food, mashed bananas, and wearing Depends’ diapers on a daily basis to control their “triggered attacks.”
Are you saying you still think the election was rigged?
Of course, not Fizz.
I believe Joe Xiden got 81,000,000 votes legitimately, as I believe Dirty Barry Clarmont legitimately “got lost” in city hall on election night when his wife was running in the contested mayoral race.
https://a.co/d/cIj582H
To paraphrase, это наша украина, ‘it is our Ukraine’, and not ‘FUC**NG Ukraine’.
Nous sommes tous Ukraineins. For how long?
Ironically, that looks more Russian to me than Ukrainian.
Gender is correct, but the alphabet is mixed up.
Are you quoting the Soviet MOD?
And what is the alternative? In the globalist/isolationist guns/butter debate, we need to consider what the consequences would be if we take a more isolationist stance. We’d lose the support of a weakened NATO, and China would expand its semi-colonial hegemony over Africa and the Philippines, and would threaten Japan and Korea. Saying the Dems are skimming off the top implies that the GOP would not do the same. Pence supports the aid given to Ukraine. And I don’t use scare quotes when I say aid.
“and China would expand its semi-colonial hegemony over Africa and the Philippines, and would threaten Japan and Korea.”
You mean China is not expanding its hegemony over the entire globe, including us? They made great headway the last 3 years. It’s not semi-colonial – it’s colonial King Leopold’s Style with complete exploitation and enslavement and very similar to what Conrad described in Heart of Darkness.
With Biden’s war strategy, all China has to do is merely threaten to feed the russian army and we shit bricks. It’ll be like Reagan pouring trillions into Afganistan and breaking the Soviet’s bank.
What to do with Ukraine? Give them Predators and jets and let them take over the skies. Let them run 500 sorties a day and the Russian front would be the russians’ no man’s land. Give the Ukrainians air dominance and the war is done. Get the war done fast! But no, with Biden and his neuter NATO, Ukraine needs to wait a year for some tanks, barely enough for 100 miles of fighting at that, and we keep the military industries happy. This is a war profiteer’s bonanza. Just wait for the carpetbaggers when the doors open for reconstruction.
Interesting that the Europeans, with just a few shipments of arms say they are running out of tanks and rounds and most of them gave nothing. Yet the non-NATO countries seem to be alright and able to contribute weapons. This is why Biden’s losing the American people on this war. He should be here talking to us, not the Polish PM.
PFH, My fear is that such expansion would incite Russia to use nukes.
Putin would have to sell a nuclear strike to his sponsors first. I think they’d murder him then and there. There’s no money for them in post-nuclear holocaust Russia.
Nothing to fear.
Putin has family as well to think about. The security of his ‘legacy’ is in the hands of his sponsors. Suicide is the leading cause of death for wealthy powerful Russians.
He can threaten to use nukes, but his situation in the Ukraine precludes them given his weak hold on power. Ordering a strike would be the hot excuse his rivals would want to depose him and his heirs.
What support? Where are the NATO troops defending the Mexican border? And I doubt China intervening in countries could turn out as bad as when the USA does it. Maybe it won’t go so well for Japan, but that’s the WWII bill coming due
When the Chinese intervene in countries, they strip mine them and leave their governments hopelessly in debt to them. They operate like loan-sharks, and are about as nice as them.
We probably do not even want to know how much American real estate and infrastructure China owns or has control over. And I am not even kidding.

Get ready for this statistic – China owns 981 billion dollars in U.S debt. That means we owe China nearly a trillion dollars! But wait, let us explain.

For years, state officials insisted that Annie Dookhan was solely responsible for falsified drug testing at the Hinton Drug Lab from 2003 to 2012, which led to the overturning of thousands of convictions in the biggest drug lab scandal in US history. But the newly released records from a state investigation into the scandal identified at least four other lab employees who may have falsified tests or helped cover it up. All had been referred to the attorney general’s office for possible criminal charges several years ago, but the allegations were never made public until last week.
Hey Ricardo & Vinny – are you watching the weather forecast? Are you out there PRETREATING the roads??
Just stay off the roads. Vinny always has it.
They’re flipping the coin as we speak.
When I got ahold of Ricky Rumpus for a comment on the weather, he replied, “me no speak a da English,” and hung up.
After going over the last snow-job report Rumpus allegedly penned, I actually believe it.

The real president, Trump, delivers water to East Palestine, while Biden visits Ukraine.
Biden/Obama, such a disgrace……

Trump looked so presidential. Biden should take notes. Biden nearly fell down the airplane steps again today, but that doesn’t stop even Independent voters who lean left from saying they will vote for him even with though he is one step away from a retirement home. Many in the public don’t care who is president because they know that the real people running Washington will push through their far left agenda of letting them live off the government. They just need a figurehead so anyone will do except someone who wants to get rid of the corruption in Washington.
So glad we’re getting lots of snow for the next few days. The Berkshire Eagle was promoting climate change and green energy by saying that February has never had so little snow. We may still get less snow for a typical February, but that doesn’t justify the push toward green energy and all of the sacrifices people, especially the poor and middle class, will be forced to make all in the name of making certain people richer.
The rise and fall of the polar icecaps and ensuing glaciation over the past millions of years has occurred mainly because of variations in the earth’s tilt and distance from the sun. We are currently in a warming period that began with glacial retreat about 20k years ago. You can’t stop it, but you can speed it up by filling the atmosphere with burned carbon.
Okay, says who?
Analysis of the ice cores taken from Antarctica, Greenland and other places, all of which converge on the same story.
Of past activity. Present and future predictions are indicative of the beliefs of funding sources
To read more, look up *Milankovitch cycles*, which are climate variations caused by periodic changes in Earth’s orbit and the tilt of Earth’s rotational axis, caused mostly by the gravitational effects of Jupiter and the other planets.
Yeah , carbon from outer space
We are billion-year-old carbon.
My carbon doesn’t Greeley a day over a million
Feel not Greeley
It’s been going on for 20,000 years, but only now are we taking action against global warming? Who is to say that attacking carbon will do any good and that Mother Nature isn’t just doing what Mother Nature does? You admit that climate change can’t be stopped only maybe it can be managed. That’s a lot of upset of people’s lives for such minimal results and electric cars may be good in the future, but we are far from being ready for them now, especially with everyone having an electric vehicle which is why so many would end up on public transportation.
I can’t say you are wrong.
Climate change is a faux religion
Electric cars are not even green. The battery use raw materials which are mined , causing water, air and soil contamination. Doesn’t even account for the slave labor either.
In Saudi Arabia they fly around on rugs. No fuel exhaust, no emissions. And when you get to work you can roll them up and take them right into the office. No big parking decks needed either. I think I saw Barry go by on one the other day.
I’ll keep a watch on cumbys
Can you ride this cycle in the bike lane?
When I watched TV tonight – Wednesday, 2/22/2023 – I watched a TV commercial advertising Massachusetts’ new $50 scratch ticket. I thought about Dan Bosley’s legacy on Beacon Hill, including him being a double dipper public pensioner and greedy lobbyist in Boston (and beyond). I thought to myself that all of the (voluntary) taxation revenues from the 50-year-old lottery SCAM over the years have greatly benefited all of the corrupt career politicians turned greedy Beacon Hill lobbyists’ campaign coffers and wallets alike. Meanwhile, I receive political emails stating that an estimated one out of three families in Massachusetts are financially and food insecure, which the lottery SCAM exploits the most. I thought to myself that the new TV commercial hawking the new $50 scratch ticket should have told the story of Daniel Bosley’s decades of profiting off of the financially exploited low- to moderate-income residents of Massachusetts instead of glamorizing its newest SCAM product.

It’s a tax on stupidity. God bless the democrats for figuring out a stupidity tax

The Grifter tRumpy going to Ohio is like Hitler going to Aushwitz and handing out rolls of paper towels and Big Macs.
Get your head out of your McDonough, Matt. We all love him. And i know you mean Mr. President.
His name is Craig and he wants to run for mayor.
Fritz why don’t you run for mayor. You would be the end of the line of goons like yourself who have held the office
I like the name Craig. He seems to live in your head . You are certainly not in Craig’s league. Comparison is like a Ford and a Mercedes. Go back to your hole. No one will miss you

For all of you “climate change” wing-nuts, please listen to this by the late, great, George Carlin.
He talks about white liberals and bike paths. This was from his comedy tour in 1992. Over 30 years ago.

Anyone who supports Trump needs to have their heads examined. He is nothing but a a wholy mammoth
And those who support Biden?
What’s a “wholy mammoth” Craig? Some kind of religious beast?
Chances are Biden has sniffed mammoth hair
Pretty soon all these loyal Trump disciples will be abandoning him in favor of Ron DiSantis. Like fleas jumping off a dying body looking for one that is warm.
Bookmark this post so that I don’t have to say I told you so a few short months from now. Trump has no intention of actually running for president. Zero. His whole gig is to have his minions send him money for his personal use. He has been laughing like hell at you guys for six years and yet you still get on your knees and worship him. Watching this has been both amusing and scary.
Here’s your guy, Fizz. Talk about amusing and scary!

Airplane stairs are to Syracuse Joe what helicopter roofs were to Gerry Ford.
MSNBC or CNN?
Tell us of the wonders of Joe Biden.
I support Biden and empty store shelves and high gasoline and heating oil prices and atomic war with Russia so long as the big guy gets 10%.
I’ll ask you the same question G-Spot I asked JM. Tell us how Xiden and his policies have made your life better. After a trip to the store today, it reminded me how much I miss having Trump.
Any chance I can get a G-Spot for mayor shirt this year? Or will you only make one again and wear it to the parade.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news for you G-Spot, but people pay attention to your TV show about as much as Porkchop Pete’s restaurant reviews.
At least Pete doesn’t post under different names and then ANSWER HIS OWN posts.
True mayoral material you are my friend.
Thank you Marcus. At least I know that the Gman has you as a viewer. All the Gman really cares about is helping the so called kapanskis. He wants nothing for himself. Again thank you Marcus for watching the Gmans show. Re run on Friday 9pm ch 1301 or 1303.Keep up the good work on the planet.
Kind of like the pilsbury dough boy Craig Swinson
I think Craig will wear the t shirt again in the 4th parade. He is very thrifty and hates to have things that are good thrown away
Well at least g man won’t have a makeover and air brush photo like the current mayor every week.
Don’t tell Sam the sham and the Pharos

How much money did they blow on salt today, totally not needed all they had to do is plow, how do I know?because I just shoveled that stuff.comes snow uunderneath it was pure asphalt in my driveway no ice.
What they did was they evidently pretreated it left it mushy plowed it and now they’re gonna have to plow it again if it snows anyway. You really can’t tell if they plowed before they treated it because when I got up it was mushy and hard?
Mushy and hard? Good luck.
So frightening. So many are planning for nuclear war in this country. Our country and the world have never been in such danger. Berkshire County has GE so that makes us a target.
No storm alert call from the mayor last night. Cars parked all over the roads so that the plows, (the two that were out) had to plow around them. Backass management making it harder for all concerned. Will plow a little more tonight when it all freezes over. Last time she said they could not use salt because it did not work at such low temperatures. What is the excuse this time?
Bunch of yo yoes
You’ve gotta love this phrase from G Man. Heard it on his show. Comfort is the enemy of progress. And like him or not that fits every politician I know in Pittsfield.
I think it’s a great phrase.
NO MORE MONEY. NO NEW PROGRAMS.
NO MORE MONEY. NO NEW PROGRAMS.
