RFK III ANNOUNCES HIS BID TO SRO CROWD, FORCING BIDEN OUT OF THE BASEMENT … THE PLANET CAN’T WAIT
BY DAN VALENTI
PLANET VALENTI NEWS AND COMMENTARY
(FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE, WEDNESDAY APRIL 26, 2023) — THE PLANET has seen the future.
We found it in the past.
In March 1968, two events rocked politics: (a) Bobby Kennedy announced his candidacy for the presidency. A couple weeks later, President Lyndon Johnson told the nation he would not seek re-election.
In April 2023, Bobby Kennedy III announced his intention to run for the presidency. How long will it be before a panicked Joe Biden realizes that he can’t win in 2024?
———- ooo ———-
In 1968, Lyndon Johnson, Senate legend who “inherited” The Presidency precisely at 12:31 p.m. Central time on Nov. 22, 1963, realized it was over. First, Sen. Eugene McCarthy had pummeled him in the New Hampshire primary. Second, RFK announced. Buh-bye, LBJ.
Bobby rapidly gained ground and seemed certain to a date in November against Richard Nixon until … Well, we all know how that ended, with Hubert Horatio Humphrey, LBJ coat holder, losing a won position.
Fast forward to the days of future past: March 19, 2023, Park Plaza Hotel, Boston.
People arrive in the ballroom, and they keep coming. When it’s over, everyone — promoters, supporters, insiders, outsiders, and press — can’t believe the turnout. Some 2,000 peopled pack the ballroom SRO style, taxing fire laws and Exit signs.
They had come to witness Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announce his bid for the Democratic presidential nomination. Judging from the reception he received at the Park Plaza, he might make short shrift out of a long-shot bid.
THE PLANET reminds one and all: Stranger things have turned fiction into truth.
———- ooo ———-
Coincidentally or not, Syracuse Joe said he would try to extend his residency in the long-term care home known as the White House.
RKF Jr. (RFKJ) spoke without notes or a teleprompter for almost two hours. Typically, going more than 15 minutes before a live audience today risks including comas. Kennedy, though, kept the room’s rapt attention the entire time. Syracuse Joe can’t speak for one minute with large-type script, teleprompter, and someone speaking through an earphone giving him his next line. Even then, he bungles. Kennedy will be 72 at the end of his first term. Biden, if re-elected, will be in his 87th year.
Think about that.
Now about something that’s sure to come up and get people wondering.
The voice.
RFKJ sounds like a male version of an aging Katherine Hepburn, with the voice quivering oddly. He suffers from a condition called spasmodic dysphonia, a neurological disorder affecting one’s speaking. The condition began in 2001. It’s painless but it requires more effort to speak. THE PLANET gets this out of the way to prevent it becoming an issue. The condition has no affect on a person’s cognitive abilities, unlike President Biden’s obvious early-onset dementia.
Kennedy, 68, will be going up against a guy in his 80s and showing every bit the signs of obliviousness. Why do you think he holds no press conferences or ducks reporter’s questions? Why does he avoid any impromptu get togethers?
Campaign ’24 will not be like ’20. This time around, Biden won’t be able to use “The Pandemic” to his in his basement and avoid campaigning in person. He’s going to have to meet RFKJ on the debating stage. He’s going to need to be available for reactions to Kennedy’s dissection of the Biden presidency.
Kennedy hinted at this in response to Biden’s announcement. He told THE PLANET: “[W]e differ profoundly on fundamental issues such as corporate influence in government, censorship, civil liberties, poverty, corruption, and war policy, among others. I look forward to engaging him in debates and town hall meetings, in a primary election that is honest, civil, and transparent. I invite him into a new era of respectful dialog in these times of division.”
———- ooo ———-
In his Wednesday announcement, RFKJ attacked “the corrupt merger of corporate and state power,” a hit on Biden’s failed domestic politics and policies. In pointing out the chasmic divide in America along race, politics, environment, culture, and any other line you can mention, Kennedy said Biden failed to be the “uniter” he promised. Kennedy dared to speak a truth the President avoids, that of an America “in a constant state of war” both at home against each other and abroad with respect to the world.
He also nailed Biden’s “geopolitical machinations,” zeroing in on the war between Russia and Ukraine. Kennedy said that while there might be a humanitarian mission there, Biden has cited “regime change” as the reason, the same adventurism that got us messed up in Iraq. That cost $8 trillion, and we ended up with “less than nothing,” since the region is much worse off.
“We no longer have a coherent foreign policy,” RFKJ said. Ukraine, nearing $1 trillion in aid given or pledged, is just “a pawn” of America, he said, and Biden’s intention is to lengthen not shorten the war “Our mission strategy
is to send the flower of Ukrainian youth into an avatar of war.”
Devastating.
Kennedy was just getting started.
When an alarm went off in the hotel ballroom and a computerized voice called for the room to be cleared, a hoax attempt to silence the candidate, Kennedy brought the house down with an ad-lib: “Nice try!”
He might be saying that soon to Biden.
THE PLANET can’t wait.

I recently posted a blog page that Nazi Trumper Steve Bannon recruited his fellow alt-right political bedfellow Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. (RFK, Jr.) to run against Joe Biden in the 2024 Democratic Party Primary election. It is the oldest strategy in human history: Divide and Conquer!
RFK, Jr. is NOT really a Democrat. RFK, Jr. has made past references to Nazi Germany in his political speeches. The very wealthy RFK, Jr. is suing Daily Kos in both NY State and California to unmask the identity of a community user that posted a story on the site about Kennedy speaking at a rally in Berlin, Germany that was heavily planned, promoted, and attended by neo-Nazis.
RFK, Jr. said in a speech at the Lincoln Memorial: “Even in Hitler’s Germany, you could, you could cross the Alps into Switzerland. You could hide in an attic, like Anne Frank did.”
Daily Kos calls RFK, Jr. a zealot anti-vaxxer, Nazi cavorter who is politically connected to the alt right Nazi Steve Bannon.

Marxist Mele
I am NOT a Marxist. Karl Marx wrote his Communist essays during an era when there was still Slavery in the U.S.A. Communism during his life meant Communitarianism whereby the workers owned the land, property, farms and factories in the Community that they lived in so that they would not be exploited by the Financial, Corporate and Ruling Elites. Communism did not mean authoritarianism that we have witnessed in Communist countries well after Karl Marx died in the 19th Century. Critics of Karl Marx omit that most of the Founding Fathers owned Slaves, stole land from the Native Americans, and did not write the word Capitalism anywhere in the classical documents that our nation is founded on. All of these people and events took place in a very different time than we now interpret it all. To be clear, Jon Melle, does not support Karl Marx and his Communist writings. Jon Melle does not support that most of the Founding Fathers owned Slaves, stole land from the Native Americans, and lived in an agrarian society that had little to nothing to do with 20th and 21st Century Capitalism. Jon Melle will never support Communist countries because they have killed hundreds of millions of innocent people and Peoples. Jon Melle will never support Fascist countries because they have committed the EVILEST genocides, including the tragic Holocaust, in human history. Jon Melle does not believe that the U.S.A. is a capitalist nation because it was not founded as such and the Financial, Coporate and Ruling Elites all rely on taxpayer-funded bailouts. What does Jon Melle believe? Jon Melle believes that from the beginning of human history to the future end of human history, the system is run by the Iron Rule of Oligarchy, which means that the elites have all of the power, while the rest of us have no choice but to follow the Oligarchs’ rule. The Iron Rule of Oligarchy applies to every form of government, institution and group that ever existed in the world. What does a Have Not do about the Iron Rule of Oligarchy? I support public advocacy to help and invest in people, communities and the common good. I oppose greed-balls such as lobbyist Dan Bosley, who writes letters and op-eds that fall in line with the Oligarchs who line his pockets with MONEY, which is all that he cares about!
MARXIST
What a buffoonatic. Real democrat? Like Hinds, Nuciforo, Mark and Tricia? Wake up.
Yes ,wake-up and know America is all about Marge Green,Bobart and Matt Gaetz…..they wanted Pardons and will eventually need Trump as there is no doubt they will be charged for insurection
Republicans hate history Jonathan.We have American wealth buying republicans.Look at the Supreme Court now being bought by cash.Money is the root of all evil and money is the Republican party of 2023.Biden know exactly what the issue is.
Biden don’t know what day, week, month, nor year it is.
He will be fushed out by his Deep State/Soros/Chi-Com handlers soon.
Remember, Traitor Joe was installed, just like a toilet.
Did you come to terms with the Trump lie about Biden controlling Dominion to change Trump votes to Biden votes….Trump cheated and got 10 million more than last election where Hillary beat Trump by 3 million and she is the most hated woman in the country…..Trump and FOX lied to you guys and that’s that.Even Dan knows his man Trump and FOX lied to him and you….we told you so but you are in love with a complete slob of a spoiled little manboy
You are the Queen of dementia.
Communist Mele
I don’t think you have a clue what a nazi is. They walk amongst us, but you wouldn’t know, Mr. Melle. Calling everyone a nazi really ends the stigma of the scourge.
Question: Why is it that in the 1980’s, we did not have terms like ‘alt-right’ and nazi’s were applied to Hitler adherents with symbols of the Third Reich and hate speech, now we need to qualify our contempt with hyperboles such as ‘alt right’?
Step back, think, and say what you mean. Give it the E-Prime treatment.
If Bannon = Alt Right, then Alt Right = Bannon. It’s a one to one relationship. Does that mean John Doe, being also Alt Right, is actually Bannon too?
E Prime – English without the verb to be (trans4mind.com)
Sir Chaz, you’re trying to reason with a guy who joined the US Army and then questioned why higher ranking people didn’t give a rat’s a$$ about his opinion or story.
Trust me. I’ve tried.
If you really try to look at similarities between the 1920/30 Germany and today to see who would be acting in the similar fashion one need only look at BLM/Antifa and the Democrat Party Very similar behaviors and acts which unfortunately our Media is in bed with, wait that is similar as well
You anticipate me! I have a missive that talks about this subject. Too long for a comment, but maybe worth Dan’s time.
Election season begins with the usual from your types he’s a Nazi, I’m a Nazi , everyone is a Nazi too,Instead of focusing on the issues that brings our country and people together or separate us further apart, people like yourself use that “divide and conquer “ Nazi, racism and every ism under the sun to smear only just because.
I respect and support Ward 2 Pittsfield City Councilor Charles Ivar Kronick. I respect and thank you, “M.A.”, for your honorable military service. I had breakfast today with my friend, who used to live in Pittsfield many years ago, at the diner in my current hometown in Amherst, New Hampshire. When I go to the VA Hospital, the Veterans there all respect me. I served our country honorably. I am a 100% service-connected disabled Veteran. I don’t understand why you pick on me for my service record. Every Veteran who I have talked to has stories about their own service record. Being in the U.S. Armed Forces is not always a pleasant experience. I was far from being the best Soldier, and I am thankful for all of the service members who volunteer (“volun-told”) to protect our nation and world.
I am upset that Russia keeps escalating its threat of nuclear weapons in a would-be war against the West. I read that today’s so-called “strategic” nuclear weapons are more powerful than the atomic bombs used on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in WW2. I want a peace settlement with Putin and Russia over Ukraine soon so that Russia’s threats of using its nuclear weapons in a would-be war with the West will stop. I tell people that I will turn 48 years old during this Summer 2023, but I want peace for the younger generations who have not lived their lives yet. I, too, would like to enjoy a full life, or course. I wish there were no such thing as nuclear weapons, along with all of the other Weapons of Mass Destruction, but it would be too good to be true.
Scam artist.
JM I think you like to live in the memories of your dad’s yesteryear with your hopes and visions of the D party. They are the reason we are near WWIII? Are you really that dimwitted to not see or understand this?
When Russia took over Crimea in 2014, while Barry Sotero was in office, I don’t remember you EVER posting on here about your disdain for Russia or your fear of WWIII. Why not? Why do you care now?
Crimea: Six years after illegal annexation (brookings.edu)
The only reason we are in Ukraine is because of the Xiden Crime Family.
No wars under Trump.
The DI’s at basic training didn’t offend you, but ‘mean tweets’ and ‘guy talk’ offended a former US Army Vet.
Truly pathetic JM.
How about a RFK JR/Bannon ticket, Johnny?
Much better than criminals in DC now.
You are just not in touch.They can fight trans people and bud for you.That will make you great again
Are You out of KY again?
Biden will suffer a stroke next year, taking him entirely out of the race.
Didn’t stop uncle festerman
Great point!
The guy’s a walking zombie, just like China Joe!
Obama loves his sock puppets.
Barry also loves the sock puppet shows Big Mike puts on.
That’s when Big Mike’s not appearing on all the left-leaning morning talk shows talking about how bad his life is when he wakes up every morning in his beach house in Hawaii.
All of this confusion yesterday with the press secretary saying Biden will finish out his 8 years…yes that’s over 5 years from now in his condition…began when Biden seemed to stop in admitting he would complete all the years of a second term. I think that’s his plan to get himself and Kamala in a 2nd term and then hand it over to Kamala shortly thereafter. He could then bask in the glory of being responsible for the country having the first woman president. The big problem is that Kamala isn’t fit to be president either. She’s not a work in progress at her age and will not stop the word salads and giggling.
I like that RFK Jr. is in the presidential race. I think he will highlight just how off the charts Biden’s police are and he’s a Democrat so Biden can’t say it’s a GOP plot against him. I like RFK’s ideas on companies and government being in bed together is NOT a good thing, that the war in Ukraine shouldn’t be more adventurism and nation building on our part, civil liberties and the freedoms of Americans are important despite the mumbo jumbo that Biden said in his infomercial the other night, Biden’s policies do not support a free society. For the climate change people, RFK is a climate person, but I think would go at a much slower pace than Biden. All in all, I think it’s a good thing he is in the race and Biden MUST debate him and all the other candidates.
I agree with what you are saying Pat. Any democrat is better than Trump even if they are a climate person. Finally we agree on something.
You know that I will be voting for Trump or any Republican running against Biden, but if I was a Democrat who believed in moderation, I would have to vote for RFK because only the revolutionaries, criminals, and radicals will vote for Biden.
Fizz will again support brain-dead Biden.
not will but does
I agree with you Dan about RFK Jr. It will be fascinating to watch the Democrat presidential process proceed with the DNC announcing no debates, Rep. Ronny Jackson calling for Biden to undergo cognitive testing, and Big Pharma wetting their pants over RFK Jr. running for the highest office in the land (read his book “The Real Dr. Fauci”). It’s also fascinating that there are two non-globalists running for president on opposite sides of the aisle. How will the Obama regime shut down RFK Jr? Who will Obama appoint as his next sock puppet, as Biden’s got one foot in the grave? I don’t think Biden will actually make it onto the Nov. ‘24 ballot.
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/04/former-white-house-doctor-rep-ronny-jackson-demands-joe-biden-take-cognitive-test-or-drop-out-of-2024-race/
The reason for Joe’s handlers not wanting DNC presidential debates is because they want to minimize the gaffes and exposure of him not being capable for a second term.
The more Joe’s out in public and especially on the debate stage speaking the worse it will be.The friendly media would have to carry them for millions to see him in action. There’s no way Joe could handle the schedule of a primary and then go on to the final presidential debates.
I believe watching an RFK III vs. China Joe Xiden debate, is only a pipe dream. The DNC has already called off any debates in the 2024 election season. They know Joe is weak and his foreign and domestic policies are a disaster and he would get crucified during a debate. Unless your black or a trans-dude, China Joe and the DNC don’t care about you.

It looks like Xi Jinping is making his move. Xi knows that Zelensky is corrupt and money talks in Vlad’s world. China is pressuring Ukraine to end the war with Russia and China will help rebuild Unkraine. If not, China is going to start arming Russia.

Stolen elections have consequences.
JM, TSC, and Mr. Worldwide, love to defend China Joe’s presidency, of course without any facts, other than “Trump, 1/6 insurrection, and Nazi Trumper’s,”…..
I believe I have found the root cause of why all three are so upset these days. The three of them are mad that Tampax Tampons chose Dylan Mulvaney and not one of them.

Better luck next time ‘guys.’
Ivanka Trump got 17 trademark patents in China when Daddy became President .Ivanka got 2 billion dollars from the terrorist of Saudi Arabia…Sorry FOX/ Trumpers
and ironically, after being daddies little snuggle bunny most of her life, she now cannot keep far enough away from him. And that speaks volumes to anyone who is not in denial.
go take a shower
I’d go for an Americans first ticket, Screw D-Rats and RINOS, Trump/RFK JR or vice versa.
RFK JR cares about America. He was/is against the Covid scams and BIG PHARMA.
All the D-Rats and RiNOS have done is to destroy America. Vote everyone out, if the next elections are not rigged.
Then go for election fraud, corrupt judiciary, and was what was behind shooting John Martin and Bobby. Eg alphabet government agencies.
In other words – the outsider’s ticket. I’ll buy that.
If I Iived in the Pitt, I’d vote for You.
Wait, can’t I be a dead, Democrat born in 1850, and do so?
Yes.
There are plenty of left over unused names in Ward 2 that are wanting to vote.

Your scale is out of calibration.
Charles this is Massachusetts better known as Taxachusetts better known as pay for play. you’ll never see term limits ever. Give you an example with a question do you think somebody in their right mind would vote for Dina wheel after her performance the first two terms?
Yes, the corruption is pretty stark. But I believe you overrate the quality of the competition.
the unions will vote for her as they are instructed.
Term limits in a system that still allows bribery of votes is meaningless
Good point, TSC. I think you should work on that one. There’s something there.
After reading this blog I figure everyone has it wrong. Instead of worrying where the votes are coming from and when they are voted I think the paper and city’s website should list all the people who voted. Not who they voted for or what party they register as but just who voted. I think this is the way we can finally get the cemetery from sending in all those mail in votes!! and of course the “other” votes
I think you could get a coroners report saying that you are in fact brain dead. If you can get him to read the last couple of years of this blog you are golden and can vote for whichever party you like. I will vouch for it myself.
I have many brain cells.
Not one single cell/singular,like You. Your entire organism.
Don’t you be concerning yourself with my entire organ buddy. Stick to drooling over your George Santos posters and behave yourself.
How was Your date with the Butt lite it/thing?
You have one cell to work with, not an organ to play with.
Who is Santos?
You maybe mean Soros, who holds ALL the leftist votes in Congress.
YOU are singular, cell.
Trump will be 80 years old if elected.He was goofy at 50
Biden don’t know who is wife is, nor what day it is.
Yes,great ticket for outsiders….40 million votes out of 150 million
“50 Phil Oches fans can’t be wrong!”
I forgot democrat Booth , shot Abe Lincoln.
Tucker Carlson says that it was actually the other way around and it was Abe Lincoln who shot Booth and he has the tapes to prove it. Kelly Ann Conway says she was sitting in the row behind him and seen the whole thing. Rudy Giuliani swears his own great grand mother gave Booth CPR in an effort to save his life.
So there ya go.
Eye roll
The doctor slapped your mother, instead.
Last time I heard that one was in the first grade. You must be a riot at family picnics. Do you own your own clown costume or do you rent?
My family still invites me.
How does it feel to be an outcast?
Dirty Barry, the Crummy Cum-bie vigilante night creeper, claims suspicion of Voter/Election Fraud is a lawsuit. Meanwhile, in Rensselaer County, several County Officials have been charged with Federal Offenses in connection with conspiring to Cast False and Illegal Ballots in an Election. Three county officials did their perp walk into a federal courthouse, while another two county officials have already pleaded guilty to federal charges. An election board commissioner pleaded guilty to identity theft in connection with unlawfully using the names and dates of birth of voters to obtain and file fraudulent absentee ballots. Of course, Pittsfield residents should have no reasonable suspicions of anything nefarious in the curious curiosity of the mayor’s husband’s interest in absentee ballots on an election night. And if a list of absentee ballots were to somehow fall into the creeper’s creepy claws, this should not arouse any suspicious. Because, of course, voter fraud could never happen in a corrupt shithole like Pittsfield anyway.
Pittsfield hired a new consultant to study a proposal to establish an “Innovation District” centered around BIC and PEDA, which has millions of dollars in unfunded liabilities that will be paid off by Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and Kufflinks winning the Powerball and Mega Millions lottery jackpots.

and this was done with mayor Tyers blessing. Incompetence or insanity? You decide.
It will be fun to watch RFK jr. red pill the Dems on covid policy and how despicable the main stream media has become. If the party bosses still somehow give the nomination to Biden then the #walkaway group will gain many new members.
Mitt Romney for prez…
Just kidding
“Red Pill?” Is that the new right wing buzz word of the day?
Remember to keep that line straight and do NOT look to either side. One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four!
Democrats believe in Vaccine s and Qanon does not…..Do you guys get any real news….holy cow…sleepy Trumps
Biden saying that your children belong to the government to do with as they please. They are all of our children says Biden which is the sneaky communist way of saying that if the radical elementary school teachers want to turn your child into another gender with drugs and surgeries, they can do it and not tell the parents anything about it. They want all of their so-called children to be androgynous, except for theirs of course because the children of the elites are not everybody’s children. This dangerous experimentation is only for the children who don’t belong to the elites. Also they want to turn your children into radicals to support their cause and keep them in power permanently. Not to mention all of the focus they want to put on sexuality in the schools to make young people focus solely on their gender and sexuality while the government controls them completely.
Why are there so many boards that have former or current employees of boards. One in particular is the school board. This type of board as well as the mayor should not have the ability to increase budgets. And many times to gets votes. The council is a problem also as they will always go along with whatever the school board wishes.
They should have term limits on boards. Some of those special interest board and commission members have been around for decades and their agenda is highly predictable.
Agree with this. I don’t like seeing the same names term upon term which warrants suspicion.
Oh the Love Fest at School Meeting tonight. Especially between t Curtis and Tyer. Gawd. Solve the damn problem and close a school for starters,before the next election.
That tells you who the winner is.
This is by far your most comical entry yet!
Biden shows about as much dementia as Trump – at least Biden can distinguish fact from fiction. And ‘early onset’ is defined as before the age of 65, so Biden at 87 is doing just fine. For Biden not to run would be the GOP’s dream and good fortune. Rfk jr as candidate? You wish! No such luck. That’s the GOP nightmare: another Biden vs Trump election. It’s their nightmare because Trump is the loser in that scenario.
Uh, um, er … Biden won’t be 87 for another four+ years. Ah, but what do facts mean anyhoo?
Not sure what is harder, trying to get a fact out of one these left-leaning posters or getting Flat Tyer to approve a true forensic audit of Pittsfield’s expenses.
Then again, nothing is as hard as TSC is watching endless drag show videos. Nothing but time on your hands. Well that….never mind.
And let’s go candidates what are your thoughts on the school budget. Cutting 220 g out of a 70,000,000 plus budget?.
Looks like that is their way of saying “F, YOU” taxpayers. Nobody be gonna touch our gold mine while Tyer is our mayor!!! And if Marchetti gets in??? Nobody be gonaa touch it then either!!!
If either Marchetti or Krol gets in, nobody will touch the school gold mine.
Is there an echo in here?
Teachers union. It controls the curriculum and the gutless school board. We need a mayor willing to fight union labor that rams these outrageous budgets through.
Pittsfield is same size Fitchburg ma, but 2x budget.
Teachers do not run budgets as the Committee does.Teachers do not close schools and the school budget like all budgets in a CC endorsed budget by Marchetti…..CCcan cut the school budget but can not tell them how to spend it.
You are correct – teachers have no power in the school department, and they have no say in the policies of their union. So much for a Union representing its workers.
The Committee, you would discover if you sit on it (which I admittedly have not), is the buggy tied to the Union horse. You think the School Comm actually negotiates with the union at budget time?
what they do have is a huge voting block, which is why Krol is laying down a trail of birdseed right up to his name on the ballot.
Need a mayor. You have to have votes to be a mayor.
Hiring and negotiation is the Mayor’s business – so you need a mayor who is willing to open hiring to non-union personnel. Right to work.
I am not anti-union, but I 100% oppose them for public works.
The Council’s business is compensation schedules generally. With 8% raise last year, 5% this year and in perpetuity going forward, we need to address the bloating of payroll. It’s like we will need to, every year thanks to the Council rubber stamping automatic non-discretionary COLA of 5%, automate 8% decreases as lawn-care routines to match the raises.
THE PLANET agrees 100%, SIR CHAZ.
Maybe I meant you need the unions to be a mayor. Its called special interests Charles. Persip gets A+ because he is 90 percent successful on his votes. Like them or not.
Got it. But F-‘s. That suggests your needle is off the dial.
If you are counting vote success, I’d put my score down there at the bottom. But I don’t go for votes.
You get an A for stupid votes? Never mind level 5 in play here.
The Kapanski’s then say your scale is wrong for them. Anyone who voted for this outrageous budget is not a friend of the hard working Kapanski’s so should receive an F. Persips would be one of the biggest flunky’s with the Pete’s
Reason 797 to get the hell out of Pittsfield. You are not going to get away from the financial insanity if you stay. You just are not.
True dat.
The more you learn the worse off you become.
Not gonna happen in this burg. Which is why any money manager worth his salt is advising middle income Pittsfield residents to relocate and not dawdle about it. Get out before you can’t because changing Pittsfield is an undaunting task and going to take more years than most people have. Save your children and leave Pittsfield to those who do not know any better.
“Save your children”
Did that – she’s flown the nest and ain’t coming back, except to sort out her extraordinary closet.
And Krol’s wife is a longtime PPSD employee……ya think that there’s a conflict of interest? Absolutely!
Trust someone who’s worked with her. She may be a pompous butt kisser to the higher ups, but she is NOT a top tier educator by any stretch.
She may become a high school principal if she behaves herself.
Trump will be 80….hello
Yeah, that is impressive.
The male life expectancy in America is 77 years. Get out the party favors.
Don’t forget the dancing girls, FIZZ!
Isn’t that age skewed by rising mortality among youth (drugs, violence.)?
Biden’s brain was short circuited 40 years ago
Trump is 76 but acts like he is in kindergarten. Proving that age is just a number.
Kennedy is anti vaccine.That will have zero impact in the democratic run for President.Bidens agenda is 1st and foremost to protect democracy in the face of fascist threats to elections.Where does Robert Kennedy stand on this ?Biden wins on this issue alone.Biden against Trump and his elderly attempts to take down democracy loses huge to Biden.Biden walks to a 2024 win on that 1 issue.Thanks Dan and good night.Trumps lies and his failed COUP are a non starter.The republican party is on life support with a white supremist leading it as usual.

Very fake news

Off Topic – Latest article in IBerkshires states how the Pittsfield City Clownsil breezed through 9 items in less than an hour. Wow, how awesome, thanks to these elected officials for doing their job they were elected to do. NOT! BULL CRAP! With all the atrocious issues in this City such as a hidden budget, crime, drugs, lack of industry, lack of jobs, lack of traffic enforcement, pot holes, broken sidewalks, failing schohols, a declining police force, beggars on every corner, closing businesses left and right, an empty filthy North street, needle ridded parks and lakes, homeless people using public streets as bathrooms, orange barrels and cones on every street for projects that the City Public works department has neglected to finish. I could go on and on.
What this tells me is pure justification that besides a couple of councilors, Kronick and Kalinowsy, this City Clownsil is and has been totally useless during their terms. Can someone name ONE THING they have done to help the taxpayers of Pittsfield. These other members have spent their whole elected terms kissing our absent Mayor’s big arse, most blatant in this behavior is Marchetti. They have forgotten they work for the people not the Mayor, shameful behavior from these elected officials. Basically, all they have done is feed their huge egos by calling themselves a City Councilors. Hope taxpayers remember this at election time.
Then Get OUT an VOTE. And get someone ones that will be against the grain. This Lampylousy has been interview twice this week and I’m sure they’ll continue with the current Tyer items as far as political exposure,on the pctv school promoted radio show? P c t v should abstain from anything political as the have that particular license.
Then why aren’t you out campaigning big man?
Good question. My belief is that terms should be limited to count of one. People need to step up, put out, retire. You don’t get better with time, and comfort is not the constituents’ friend.
You’ll see me at the debates.
Marchetti controls the topics, speakers and the flow. (before and after the meeting) Will he do a 180 and all of a sudden work FOR the people instead of against them if he is elected mayor?
Sure he will
heh heh
We’re in a real pickle when Krol is looking like the better of the two.
Actually, that meeting is not really finished. I learned that the councilors need trigger warnings, though. My bad.
In the last 4, FOUR, days, Pittsfield police have arrested 9, NINE, illustrious Houseless derelicts in the city of Pittsfield. And you can thank all of Pittsfield’s, allegedly elected, megalomaniacal BUMS for all this dynamic vibrancy. Houseless Gimpy PEE PEE WHITE, her LARGENESS tyer, DUMPSTER Ghetto persip, GASBAG gavel wielding PEE PEE marchetti, aka krolchetti, et al. These NINE arrests of Pittsfield’s HOUSELESS Guests are in addition to countless daily reports of SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY, including more than one report of SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY and UNWANTED SUBJECT calls to a FUNERNAL HOME, UNWANTED SUBJECT, EMERGENCY MEDICAL CALL, formally known as OVERDOSE, TRANSPORTED TO HOSPITAL, as reported in the daily police logs. And for those contributions from mayor tyer’s HOUSELESS citizens to the city of Pittsfield, Pittsfield’s megalomaniacal elected BUMS are foisting a HOUSELESS SHELTER on the backs of the taxpayers.
But all news is not as grim. Because Pittsfield Police Officer Derby and his comfort pet Winston found the time to par-tay on April 12th with MCLA’s comfort pet, Maple, to celebrate her first birthday, Oakley was there too. The event included frolicking, treats and fun for officer Derby. It’s been rumored the comfort pets enjoyed the party too. Maybe not as much as stressed-out officer Derby though.
Most will tell you they are working or going to work for the people prior to an election, afterwards your back on your own in most cases.
Can anyone tell me why the Eagle has most of today’s cover taken up with two large pictures of a barbershop in Kinderhook, NY? I am so glad I don’t pay for this rag. Last I heard, the Eagle had a successful fundraiser to pay for / hire reporters to cover local news. Where is the local news? Nothing has changed at the Berkshire Eagle! The money raised most likely went towards keeping them afloat. What a pathetic excuse for a local paper.
Kinderhook n y is a small farming hick town.
That’s my kind of folk.
Kinderhook and not Rutberg folk??
Thanks Charles. Have many fam in KHook.
I still own a farm, in Berk. Left Winged Parrot has sucked many years now.
My family (half) is Claverack. Orchard farmer. Grandfather Charles was a brilliant man who only read one paper – a Hudson newspaper that told him all he needed to know as to what to buy to plant 6 months later to be sold 9 months hence. A tiny rag. One morning, he heard a news report of Japs in Guam, and he told his wife, “I’m not coming home for dinner today.” He spent the day buying tires for his trucks. Got his farm through WWII as those were the last tires anyone would see.
That’s probably not an unusual fact for those living complex lives and business in rural America.
Sir Charles….One of my folk was salutatorian at Martin Van Buren h s many years ago.
I don’t think they are allowed to print Pittsfield stories unless OKed by the corner office. So many stories about bad things happening outside of Pittsfield but if the same thing happens IN Pittsfield….no story. How weird is that?
I wish they would do a deep dive on automobile accidents in Pittsfield. Why so many? What are the causes? Has Pittsfield been designated an especially dangerous city to be driving in and triggered a large bump in auto insurance costs? I dunno…do you? Is Rupert Murdoch red-lining stories? wtf man…
Here is a link to a story that WNYT CHANNEL 13 News is running on panhandling in Pittsfield this week. WNYT goes out of their way saying they are not trying to paint Pittsfield in a bad way, just that they got so much viewer mail on the subject they decided to check it out for them selves.
As you watch this video, think of the ‘grant money’ Tricia Farley-Country Buffet (D-illegal immigrants and sex trade workers) bestowed upon Flat and all these vibrant and dynamic citizens that came with it too.
None of those people looked elderly that had been kicked out of their place because they couldn’t pay their bills, as the far left likes to tell everyone.
No, they looked like able body young men and women who choose a drug addiction over holding a job.
Affordable housing is the newest grift to scheme money. Our hardworking tax dollars to pay for a place for these drug addicts to live and ply their trade.

Freddy the freeloader strikes again .
Maybe the Kinderhook barbershop cover story is just another cover up of a story for some more horrible corrupt schitt happening in the city of Pittsfield. Maybe they’re hiding news of investing another $350,000 into another Lottery Home only to have it sold off at the fire sale price of just $80,000, like the one on Circular Ave. Ruffer and Krol no doubt were pissing all over themselves at the prospect of the single family Rehabbed Circular Ave Lottery Homes being sold off at a loss. Which reminds me, what ever happened with the top to bottom Rehabbed Eleanor Road home?

HHS whistleblower Tara Lee Rodas testified today in front of the house Judiciary Committee.
Rodas told Congress that today in the United States children will work at slaughter houses, factories, and restaurants to pay their debt to the smugglers, traffickers and cartels.
And… The US Government has become the “middleman” in a large scale multi-billion dollar child trafficking operation, run by bad actors seeking to profit off the lives of children.
So is this what Joe Biden meant by he wants to ‘finish the job’ in his second term?
Todas told Rep. Andy Biggs, “There was no one with law enforcement experience overseeing where children are going.”
Here is the testimony by HHS employee Tara Lee Rodas on “The Biden Border Crisis: Exploitation of Unaccompanied Children.”
Tara explains in detail the disgusting abuse of migrant children by the Joe Biden regime.
There have been over 5 million illegal aliens, including migrant children, who have flooded across the US Southern Border under Joe Biden’s watch.
Nice human Joe Biden is………
Dan. So now we’ve made the New York news. A panhandling segment on p c t v. This was all part of Mayor Tyers initial campaign saying come one come all but not work? She actually said that. The News person said The City of Pittsfield was un available for comment.
The fritz of Planet Valenti’s protege has died. Yup. Jerry Springer. Rest In Peace Jerry. Sorry for your loss fritz. You to Pat.
I loved watching Jerry. Stupidity is a Leftist trait of thought.
He was a Democrat his whole life.
Load and lock.

“I Feel Like That Should Be Illegal” – Trans Woman Dylan Mulvaney Thinks People Should be Arrested for Referring to Him “Using ‘He’ Pronouns”
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/04/video-i-feel-like-that-should-be-illegal-fake-woman-dylan-mulvaney-thinks-people-should-be-arrested-for-referring-to-him-using-he-pronouns/
Check what’s “down there” — the plumbing. That determines what you are. If it doesn’t, it means you’re messed up. Trying to get an entire culture and society to conform to the odd one-offs helps no one. An Alzheimer’s patient who thinks it’s 1945 and FDR is president? You go along with it. Someone who’s a man who thinks he’s a woman? The only way to do it is to pretend that up is down, that in is out. To do that makes you complicit in a delusion.
First amendment: no law infringing upon religious belief. Common Sense is predicated upon core judeo-Christian principles.
Trigger Warning: I come from the 1980’s. I refer to all genders under the umbrella term: everyman for group, ‘he’ as a short form for both or either – your preference. Language is by nature an abbreviation of thought that is handled perfectly by convention and idiom.
Common Sense is the Scottish Enlightenment philosophy whihc is the bedrock philosophy for many of the US Founding Fathers. Therefore, the assault on CS is part of the assault on the core principles that define our civilization.
The primary principle of CS is that G-d made 1)Nature 2)Laws governing Good/Evil and they are imparted into everyman as already known – doesn’t need to be taught with proofs like geometric theories. It doesn’t need proof because proof is impossible given the complexity of the creator. Logic is synthetic, Common Sense is not. Even Plato argues that man lacks the capacity to define Nature with synthetic thought.
Religious practice of Judeo Christian principles dictates, not suggests or recommends, that man shall not invent falsehoods about Nature because invention bears false witness. Compelling people to lie about another person’s gender is an enormous sin when you consider how doing so infringes upon his knowledge of nature and contradicts his primary knowledge which is that G-d made nature, not InBev or your college professor, or the guy sitting in a corner office in City Hall. In fact, he doesn’t need to check the plumbing as it’s perfectly evident from any picture that Lia Thomas is as much a man as is Sylvester Stallone and is no more a woman than a duck.
The current phenomena of trans-ubiquity is the creeping extension of the moral relativity argument (latest kid on the block being trasablism) that Common Sense is a simplistic philosophy that simply is too lazy to prove its primary assumptions, skepticism by anothe name. Moral relative skepticism has wrougt extensive physical harm and that is astonishing.
