MAGIC AND CHANGE ARE AFOOT

PLANET VALENTI NEWS AND COMMENTARY
(FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE, THE WEEKEND EDITION JULY 28-30) — The NFL camps have opened, baseball heads into its dog days, and THE PLANET moves off the map. Changes, as well as magic, is afoot.
As we said on Wednesday’s post, starting with this entry, THE PLANET goes dark for two weeks so that during out disappearance our IT gurus and tech masterminds can do some tweaking (not twerking) backstage.
We shall be ingressus mango silentio ad bonum omnium.
We can say no more.
Be back on Aug. 7. Maybe.
Be well … and fall in love!

Trump will be indicted in the next 30 hours for his conspiracy to steal an election.
The perpetraitors were H-Beast and the DNC with the aid of THE FIB.
You are in a cult created in Qanon world
You are in Bizzaro World.
You’re the one with the Qanon obsession. Get back on your meds or are you posting from JonesII?
10 % to the big guy. Biden crime family do well. They bring fang fang back for Swalwell. He make bang bang with fang fang while Biden sniff hair while counting 10%. Sank yu.
Good thing you wang no hung like you brain.
How about those Red Sox School committee
He’s more of a fan or the red Chinese because they always give the big guy 10%.
Enjoy your led lightbulbs and the problems they cause. Thanks woke democrats
Right. Stupid bulbs always staying lit.

Hope you have some awesome chill time Dan. Watch out for the mosquitos though. they be quite aggressive this year.
Picaridin is better than DEET, and won’t melt your fishing lures…….
In pittsfield mosquitoes are a protected species. You no kill.
Yes can kill. Mao said, mosquitos ok to kill now. But must get license first. Bureau of Wildlife Permissions
(and you can only kill the females)
Facts About Mosquitoes
Only female mosquitoes bite people and animals to get a blood meal. Female mosquitoes need a blood meal to produce eggs. Mosquitoes get infected with germs, such as viruses and parasites, when they bite infected people and animal
Then you mix with tofu for protein burger
Wang like mosquito tofu.
Mosquito wang say Mao ok.
Give ’em hell, Snarkers. Lay down heavy smoke. Cigars work best.
Dan,
Recharge the batteries as much as possible and enjoy the time with your family.
I very much hope Dan does return Aug. 7. We’ll miss you. Before I go I want to mention my Ward 5 councilman, Charles Kronick, has been a good man, responsive to area and community issues, and is deserving of reelection to his Ward 5 position. He has my vote.
As much as I admire Charles, my comments here were meant for Ward 5 councilor Patrick Kavey. Sorry, guys.
What?!?
Isn’t Kavey the one with the weird toupee?
Enjoy your time at Niagara Falls. Turn slowly.
Enjoy time off Dan.
But……we’ll be back with 2 weeks worth of BS!
I am happy that: Blogger Dan Valenti will have some time to relax, that Beacon Hill lawmakers will soon be on their month-long August recess, and that the Swamp will soon be on their month-long August recess. We the common people are better off when the career politicians are not in formal session than when they are in the Boston Statehouse or the Swamp spewing HOT AIR. My dog Chocolate and I will be enjoying these mid-summer weeks by rooting for the Boston Red Sox, while getting ready for the New England Patriots, along with the Celtics and Bruins, seasons.
You take vacation too. You go to la la land with lovely Linda
Your hung wang do no good.
Enjoy I look forward to your return
So is Krol running for mayor, or are his wife and kids? Reminds of the guy named Sottile some years back with a picture of his kids in a red wagon and his wife on his campaign literature.
Better than a Matchetti and his sister Linda with his 7 half wit council children
Krol is trying to break the stigma of him not being a family man. He is using the family way to much in his campaign.
Marchetti is a family man…the Adams Family.
Uncle Festerchetti
Marchetti is king of the Pittsfield hackorama. If you liked Tyer you’re going to love lumpy Matchetti.
And Lumpy does his hackorama all the while with that smug look on his face.
Look over there , not over here.
Gavel Man:
Voters look anywhere , but don’t look at the minimum of the last eight years where I gave the current mayor everything that was requested by her without concern for you, the taxpayers.
You know what I mean ?
Now they want something done about crime after supporting policies that have brought this upon them.

Just as when we start having more terrorist attacks in this country, the public who supported all of this illegal immigration, will be demanding protection and wishing they had not been so willing to not question Biden bringing in so many potentially dangerous people who may or may not assimilate into our society. Particularly when they find out what their kids will be taught in the schools and how they will have abortion pushed on them. Kamala already let the cat out of the bag on that when she said in her kindergarten school teacher voice that we must reduce the population for climate change. She never mentioned how the far left intended to do that, but abortion is one way and convincing females that they are really males is another way so they become unable to reproduce. I’m sure they have many other tricks up their sleeves, none of which are good for the people of this country.
These clowns are all for these types of policies until they are affected by those policies.
Fear not , the FBI is investigating parents who speak out at school board meetings. I feel safer already.
Justin Trudeau is blaming American Republicans
for the problems that Canada is having assimilating Muslims into their society. Trudeau can’t figure out that the culture clash is very difficult to overcome for these Muslims what with the LGBT and gender transitioning that is being taught in the schools. He and the rest of the far left globalists think you can just bring Middle Eastern people over here and they will accept extreme liberal policies that even many Canadians think are crazy. America will soon have the same problem and other countries too that now have open borders. Look at what has been happening in France.
Canada is no longer sweet tolerant Canada, but under Trudeau has gone very heavy handed over the people and Trudeau tolerates very little. During the trucker strike, he did unbelievable things to make the truckers stop their protests including freezing their bank accounts. Trudeau is a big globalist in tight with Soros, Schwab, John Kerry, Biden, and all the other very intolerant globalists.
George Soros and his son and the other globalists want an Open Society and this is what all this forced mass illegal immigration is all about, in America and in European countries. The masterminds of this group know there will be problems with assimilation meaning violence, but they push forward anyway with their dystopian plans.
“The Soros clan also played a major role in the vandalism that swept across the United States in 2020, known as the BLM wave of protests. There are many parallels between the riots overseas and the current French migrant revolt. As in the USA then, so today in France, the vanguards of progress blame the police as a whole for the situation” from the article.
https://civilek.info/en/2023/07/05/in-langs-the-french-empire-on-the-gyujtozinor-veg-is-the-immigration-side-serial-network/
Trudeau reminds me of Gavin Newsome a lot.
Yes, they are handsome and airbrushed, but they are the puppets of George Soros and the globalists. Newsome is always rubbing his eyes when he talks about the far left agenda like he knows it’s so much baloney, but it keeps he and his wife in their mansion so he will go along with it. Biden was visited in the White House at least 21 times by Alexander Soros, the son of George Soros so they are all in on this Open Society to have countries without borders to achieve their globalist agenda of One World Government. It’s all an experiment that they know will involve lots of chaos.
Why can’t Justina put out the wild fires in Canada?
Pollution and global warming ?
They could try to put out the fires and do forest management so this wouldn’t happen in the first place, but the smoke creates poor air quality so they can try to convince everyone that this is all due to climate change and not their own incompetence.
Hillary Clinton was yelling at everyone “Are you hot enough yet?” as she ran into her air conditioned mansion. She really means are you hot enough yet to give big government complete control over your life? Because this is what the globalists want to accomplish using climate change as the excuse.
By doing forest management and limiting the damage by doing it would mess up his and others climate change narrative. The worse it is the better they like it.
Naw, Optimus. We don’t like it worse. Why would you say that?
H-Beast belongs in prison for her election interference/fraud, along with half of DNC and THE FIB.
No, Trapper. You know who attempted a fraudulent election, and it wasn’t Hillary.
Who can forget pallets of bricks delivered to riot sites?
Burn Loot and Murder was a front to funnel money to the DNC.
The people running it also enriched themselves and did little if anything to help colored people.
Help who? Say what?
You a bad man, Trap.
Ha ha ha. Simply untrue. Why do you feel this way toward us.
Turn off FOX Trump Putin
Murdock is a globalist/leftist just like You TSC
Murdock has a network TSC has a padded room with Wi-Fi
I’m a globalist/leftist, Trap, and proud of it. We don’t do the things you accuse us of.
Son of Fidel Castro
“Canada is no longer sweet tolerant Canada”
Has Canada ever been a ‘sweet tolerant Canada’? Try saying that in Quebec.
Pat, you are so off kilter.
After watching both the Dumpster’s and Menu Boys interviews on It’s Pittsfield Tonight I can see why they ducked and ran faster than Usain Bolt away from the Planet. I thought Mike would have held them more accountable for the time they have been in office as councilors. I’m sick of hearing how people are nasty ie. racist, bigoted etc..as an excuse to avoid certain interviews.
Well then I guess you should behave differently.
Enjoy your time away Dan.
Anybody ever notice the resemblance between Pete White and his bulldogs??
A common phenomenon. Owners always end up looking like their dogs. Choose very carefully when you make that purchase.
People pick their dogs because they look like them. People don’t change their looks to look like their dogs.
Does it make a difference?
I feel sorry for the mayor’s poor dog
Of course it does. Cause/effect.
He sure does not look like a bulldog when it comes to defending the taxpayers. More like this a toy poodle.
Does Kavey’s dog have a weird haircut?
Interesting to read about the resignation of Shirley Edgerton as Cultural Proficiency Coach from the Pittsfield Public Schools.
The resignation comes just a year after Edgerton received more than a half million dollars in free ARPA money to use as she sees fit in her ROPE organization.
The announcement also comes just after the recent announcement that ROPE has started a North Carolina chapter – “Rope NC Chapter”.
Did we really give her Pittsfield’s Biden bucks intended to help the poor and economically distressed people of Pittsfield to take to NC and spend on their citizens?
Oh the places you will go Shirls!
Maybe she still has most of it and it will stay in Pittsfield as intended? The Eagle will probably tell us how much she is leaving for her replacement to do wonderful things with. (unless the number is too embarrassing)
Crooked Joe, rackets Joe 50 mil unanswered fot
US Code Title 18 is death, for treason.
Joe and family has surpassed that threshold.
Five (5) deferments is treason.
Traitor Joe has most deferments of any living ex-POTUS Snarky.
Look it uo.
Look this up: Trump’s deferments were medical, Biden’s were education.
If you say so Snarky.
Now what about all other the treasonous acts he committed, since he became Barry’s VP?
https://www.the-sun.com/news/4053947/joe-biden-draft-deferment-more-donald-trump/
“PRESIDENT Joe Biden avoided being drafted into the military five times — getting one more deferment than former president Donald Trump.
Biden received five student draft deferments during the Vietnam War, and after graduating college, received a medical exemption as well.”
Which branch of the military did dementia joe serve in?
The Biden’s close friends and business partners…..

“Over 900 mice were located at the facility. Court documents identify Wang Zhaolin as the Prestige representative onsite during the investigation. Zhaolin informed the investigators that “these mice were genetically engineered to catch and carry the COVID-19 virus.” Court documents describe the conditions under which the mice were housed as “inhumane.”
What ever happened to the Harvard professor and the 2 students from Northeastern University?
‘The gateway pundit reports that up is down and black is white. Story at 11.’
Alexander Soros, the son of George Soros, has visited the Biden White House at least 21 times.
Donald Trump brought Putin and other KGB agents right into the Oval Office. Not sure how many times. Putin still laughs about that today.
Vladimir Putin stole my Superball ring. I was with George W Bush, in the Oval Office and we were talking about 1964 Mustangs and other BS. Laura was there too! Then this thin obnoxious blonde guy comes in, doesn’t say hello, and George just forgets that I’m even there. They start talking. George just lit up. They talk about sumo wrestling. Judo. The great cossack horsemen for heaven’s sake. (Yeah, I said cossacks – the poor white trash of the caucuses. Murdered half my family in Klevitz (Minsk village) in a pogrom.) Then sports – fencing, soccer, and of course football. “Chuckster! Show Vlad your fancy-schmancy ring you got!” Like a fool, I take it off and Vladimir takes it, puts it on and says, “Thank you.”
Then they go back to their BS and ignore me some more. Since there were now three of us, Laura having had left to go shopping saying she suddenly got a fancy for a bright yellow porsche, Putin announces “Troika!” and out come the vodka. Did they serve me? No. They drank it all, and then Putin left, with my ring!
Charles: “How are we going to get my ring back?!”
Bush: “Ring? Forget about it. Pretty dumb of you to give it him, I said ‘show it’ not ‘hand it.’ Such schmuck you. Not gonna make it into an international nuckular circus-f*ck”
See Kindergarden? Lot’s of Bush/Putin lovers here on PV. I count about 6 six thus far.
Are you kidding? 40-50% is my conservative estimate.
That is a fact. How many times have we seen that clip? And then there’s the priceless/nauseating clip of T supporting Putin over his own intel operatives. Talk about traitorous.
Could we have a public hanging of the Biden crime family for treason? Televised.
Thats how fascism works when you wont accept losing.Ignorance is the enemy of our democratic republic.
TSC, America is a Constitutional Republic.
Well was before Biden, now it’s a tyranny.
Correct! The Constitution says very little on how one gets elected. Much is written on the rights of citizens and the balancing of powers within government. And as a Constitutional Republic – the protection of individual states from a overly powerful central government.
Today: we live in a bizarre America where a Berk Eagle cartoonist ridicules a Supreme Court justice because he bristles at congressmen who assert they should have control over the the Third Branch of government.
The illiteracy of our generations is taking its toll.
“Arrogance of Samuel Alito”
Columnist appear to argue that the Congress has the ‘power’ to regulate the Supreme Court and determine its jurisdiction.
Democracy, as we are beginning to experience it, is “vote for your president and Congressmen, and they shall decide to do whatever the heck they want.”
The objective, the ideal state: One man, one vote, is all a congress-critter needs to stay in office for life.
“One man. One vote. Once.”
term limits
They need to be controlled because they misbehave if left unchecked.
‘Checks’ and balances.
I can see why you’d see it that way, but I say Trump would be even worse.
Yes sir, TLC, thank you.
Gilead would approve.
Alexander Soros, the son of George Soros, has visited the Biden White House at least 21 times. Alexander promises to push the “Open Society” even more aggressively than his father. Open Society means Open Borders.
Look out, Pat, they’re coming after your $$$.
I think the city better start spraying to kill the mosquitos before someone contracts a disease or get s picked up and taken away for dinner. On another topic I noticed they put the toilet plungers back up by the hospital
Saw a neighbor get swarmed and flown back to a nest of them. Horrible sight.
PITTSFIELD, Mass. (WWLP) – Three people were injured after a head-on motor vehicle accident on Friday on 1292 North Street in Pittsfield.
and everything is so well laid out how could this happen
Now Rumpus will suggest another roundabout?
They work well. The whole country’s putting them in.
Put a link in Snarky
I don’t like the bike lanes either but 1292 North St. is like two miles away from that nonsense.
Are there any lines painted on that road (or any other Pittsfield road?)
Will the Biden Sleaze ever end?
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/07/furious-judge-noreika-issues-order-prohibiting-hunter-bidens/
“Furious Judge Maryellen Noreika ordered the lawyers representing Hunter Biden, who had deceived and lied to a court clerk into removing a legal document by falsely claiming to represent GOP lawyer Ted Kittila, to cease all direct communications with court clerks.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported that Hunter Biden’s legal team is facing possible sanctions after they lied about their identity to have the testimony of IRS whistleblowers removed from the docket in Hunter’s tax fraud case.
Judge Maryellen Noreika had demanded an explanation from Biden’s lawyers by 9 pm ET Tuesday night. This controversy happened on the eve of Hunter Biden’s plea of guilty to misdemeanor tax charges on Wednesday, while he is expected to avoid jail time on a separate gun charge.
A member of Biden’s legal team misrepresented herself when asking for amicus materials to be removed. According to reports, she called the clerk and requested that the information be sealed due to its sensitive nature, including grand jury, taxpayer, and social security details.”

Great interview. RFK Jr. is so much smarter than Biden.
I have a tree stump that’s smarter than Biden
And #2 Commie
How smart can it be if it is just a stump? What happened to the rest of it?
Salman Rushdie actually addresses that in Satanic Verses.
I read the Arabic translation and I found it a bit contradictory. The part where he talks about how fire ants would sometimes eat away at the trunk of an Acacia tree but then some of the ants might not partake during the holy season. I mean which part is true and are Acacia tree stumps even a good diet for ants in the first place?
Looks like our street cred took a hit there. We should stick to safer topics. I won’t tell my GWB superball ring story again, and you stay away from ants.
RFK jr ain’t that bright.
Sorry, I don’t click links in here. Say it.
Get involved!

I really don’t seem to like her.
But the other two are PROVEN nasty stanky turds.
I said something similar to that to my lawyer. He looked quietly, smiled, and said, “You know, the way you said that actually sounds nice.”
Can you put up a sign if You don’t live in the Shitfeild? I’m on major roadway to//from. Krol and Marchetti stink like sewer plant….
Yes
Let me know if you need some help with spelling
Do you charge by the word count or by the typo? I need a spell checker too.
Ricardo’s road crew could use help
It wasn’t our road crew that did that. But, they still got free help from the Eagle. I think Snark charges for faster service though. Be good if road paint is caught before paint dries.
Well, I was gonna do it for free for MT. I kinda feel bad for him as he is dealing with all that untreatable Biden baggage on his brain.
Never give freely your talent. G-d gives you your talent, and therefore it is sacred.
A lot of us are traumatized by Biden, Snark. Like any bad dream, this one will end too and a worse one will commence I tell myself.
Bill begat Hillary and Bush was born. Bush begat Obama and Biden was born. Biden begat (TBD)
The stock market just had its best performance through July in 26 years.
The benchmark S&P 500 index closed last month with a boost of about 21% for the year. That’s its largest gain through July in 26 years, according to data from S&P Dow Jones Indices.
Along with the Nasdaq Composite, the S&P 500 notched its fifth winning month in a row in July, marking the broad-based index’s longest monthly winning streak since 2021.
Lookit, I really don’t want to go down a Trump-Biden rabbit hole with you. But the last time I voted for the Stock Market it took all my money and ran!
Bad timing for that one, Snark. Fitch just downgraded US currency. That’s two strikes out of three. Too bad we aren’t an export economy anymore.
That is true. And one of the biggest reasons given was what happened on Jan 6th and its repercussions.
So you can blame Trump for that if you want to be fair about it.
No, that actually isn’t the reason. The reason is that there is lack of confidence in the stability of US Treasuries over next five years.
Dispute over budget appropriations combined with overspending yield two strikes against the dollar. If you want to be fair, you would say that there are lots more strikes for the dollar to take. AA+ is less than AAA but more than AA. The dispute over the budget is driven by lack of liquidity. You should start buying kroners.
Reminds me of Pittsfield.
Someone disagrees with kroners. Probably a Buffet buff.
The yuan.
The biggest strike against the dollar, of course, is McCarthy sabotaging the debt ceiling.
Did Obama beget Trump or do you still believe Trump was the best president ever?

It is a negative slope, but you have indeed given your answer.

Biden administration denies Secret Service protection to RFK Jr.
So, Biden hopes to jail one opponent and get the other one killed…yep, we’re a banana republic.
And then Joe will claim he won the democrat nomination in a landslide.
RFK has no chance against Biden.
Love to see you squirm dude.
But seriously, why doesn’t Donald run for governor of Florida? He would win 95% of that redneck vote and he could deny extradition of himself to other state courts. Florida could secede from the union and become its own country and Donald would be president? Duhhh?? MAGA by giving Donald the penis state and he can reside in the Everglades with all the other snakes. Hope I am not offending any snakes when I say that.
Biden did 90% of the crimes they tried to frame POTUS Trump for.
Devon Archer spilled the beans on their crime cartel.

From Forbes article
TrumpGolfCount.com estimates that Trump’s golfing trips have cost American taxpayers $142 million so far. That total includes $59 million worth of trips to Mar-a-Lago on Air Force One, along with a long list of other items such as bills for Coast Guard security at the Florida property. The creators of the website have stated that they are tracking Trump’s golf count in the wake of a promise he made back in August 2016 when he said “I’m going to be working for you. I’m not going to have time to go play golf”.
How much have the >7 million criminal aliens Biden let invade America cost taxpayers Snarky? New York City Mayor Eric Adams is busing some up to stay with you in section 8.
How was the billions in bribe/hush money he sent to Zelensky/Ukraine spent?
Facts bum you out huh?
heh heh
No leftists that hate America do. They are driving the bus full speed on the highway to hell.
There aren’t many leftists that hate America.
Help me Charles. I am getting all the Trump AND puppet negs. By the way, what is Melle s high mark?
You’re asking ME for help?
OK, but I shall ask you for a favor, someday.
Melle operates on the other end of the scale. You seem to like positive numbers, he likes them red.
Balance Equation. For every plus mark, there must be a corresponding negative. Black hole will open up somewhere if that is violated.
Zero-sum game.
I figger no matter what the subject I am going to get at least six negs from the Petey puppets and 6-10 from the MAGA diciples so I have a significant handicap everytime I touch the keyboard.
But like Dan says, when people start bitching you know you touched a nerve. And I get a free chuckle out of that.
Have you thought/figgured that everyone knows you are a leftisit moron , yet?
I am a registered Independent for 45 years. I recalculated after I voted for Nixon. I did vote for Biden last time because he was the far better choice at that time. Trump proved me right when he tried to destroy our democratic election process when he did not like the outcome.
I feel fortunate to be one of those who did not have my psyche co-opted by the intense propaganda machine and feel badly for those who have, because their are a couple in my own family. And the weird part about it is that Trumps values are juxtaposed to the values my family was brought up with and those of true Christians, who believe in working together for the betterment of all.
Now you are getting somewhere with this Trump/Biden war.
What should unite us here on this board?
I’ll put the first thing out there: humor.
I would say voting in a new mayor who is their own person and not obligated to special interest forces who backed their campaign. The people must except that they need to vote outside the usual box or their taxes will continue to spiral upwards. That is a fact.
The sad part is that they are so high now that many of us cannot afford to live in our own homes. And the city debt is so high, thanks to people like tyer and marchetti, that they cannot be lowered as that debt must be aid. It has become an undeniable shitshow for the Pittsfield middle class as well.
I think that argument would yield results. Local issues are what one unite and two MATTER*. But, it is also impossible to not discuss national ones – they are omnipresent and seductive.
As for the debt issue as a permanent problem causing high taxes, I would disagree. When a person is deeply in debt, the first step is to cut expenses to stabilize the debt. Then a long term reduction can take place at the same time building wealth. We need a budget that builds debt service directly into the lines and corresponding cuts and efficiencies to make that happen. We are solvent – not facing immediate bankruptcy – so this remains on the table.
What issue beneath the Trump Biden argument, which is always ad hominem, is a bedrock question that can be debated?
*There was a time Man understood that even Great Events happen in the background. In Great Times, all men are engaged in their single fates.
“That even the dreadful martyrdom must run its courseanyhow in a corner, some untidy spotWhere dogs go on with their doggy life and the torturer’s horseScratches its innocent behind on a tree. – Auden
I would like to frame those words, snark.
Is that what you figgered, there, Trap?
Also, we are performing a service.
Bidenflation, has cost everyone plenty
So long Valenti, catch you on the flipside.
Stooge throwing Harrington under the bus.
I can’t tell the difference between stooge and Daly double talk.
Is he given reading material before the show? Is it kinda scripted from behind the scenes? His talking points sure do seem to reflect the mayor/Marchetti agenda a great deal. Is he….
a puppet?
Here’s a more realistic possibility.
Chinese zoo denies its sun bears are humans in costume. The internet is not so sure. (msn.com)
Maybe he wants a rotary in front of his house
They should put one around it
and fill it water

Joe Biden has been in office for 921 days.
I introduced articles to #ImpeachBiden on his first full day in office.
He should have been impeached two and a half years ago.
Now even more evidence of his crimes and corruption is coming to light.
Congress must impeach!!
Is that a pic of your blowup doll MT?
No. That’s a real woman Snarky.
Not a fat hairy man with makeup, in garish womens clothes, that leftists think is female.
I’m giving you a point for that. That’s actually pretty funny.
and it could be true
Could or can?
A joke is only funny if it can’t be true in spite of its ‘logical truth’ (example: logical to imaginine pigs flying, but it is not possible, therefore it’s funny.) I tried to explain that fact to the Council President who resisted filing a joke a couple months back.
ACT I: Submitting an Argument:
Honorable Members of the City Council:
In the January 10, 2023 meeting, I had submitted a request to rebuff the pending argument that the City ought to purchase MgCl2 and related equipment. This request was fully argued and supported by professional input from a MassDOT employee and relevant weather data. The motion failed primarily on account of ill-timing with the DPW report scheduled for the 1/24/2023 meeting and for lack of clarity of execution.
I therefore make the following request to be adopted by the City Council. Subsequent to hearing the report of the DPW, I request a vote to authorize the printing of the following statement no smaller than 11” x 14” and no larger than 48” x 96”. Additional specifications:
Paper: card stock, orange
Font-Size, Family, Color: Helvetica (first), Arial (second). Minimum 25pt. Black
Copy:“Per the City Council of Pittsfield, Massachusetts:
No New Salts!
No New Salt Equipment!”
This placard shall be affixed by sturdy means upon the door at the office of the DPW and remain there until July 1, 2023.
Respectfully signed, _______________________ (Charles I Kronick, Councilor Ward 2), upon this day, _______________
ACT II: Disposal of Argument:
Council Prez: “What am I supposed to do with this??”
Councilor: “I suggest filing it. Obviously it is not to be taken literally. One would have to be totally insane to actually go and paste a giant sign to the Commissioner’s door.”
John Krol would appreciate that joke. He’s seen graphical work orders. Of course, it was not really a joke though. It was a rhetorical ‘WAKE UP!!!!” presentation to a starstruck council.
We ended up spending heavily on new trucks, special equipment for brining, and salt in spite of the fact that if we just laid down salt two hours earlier we would have had clear roads.
and for me, that just sums up what this administration has been all about. In a normal city, the city council would have been able to hash this out to see if it was reasonable. But the puppet leader, as per instructions from above, apparently, shut it down. And this negligence is why the city budget has absolutely exploded under Tyer and Marchetti. Facts are facts and even though no one is going to ever be able to see the detail in the books, we can see the total budget, and it does not lie. We can see all the new toys the city has purchased. And we can see the mega million dollar projects Tyer and Marchetti have burdened the taxpayers with.
Did Pittsfield seriously need all this stuff RIGHT NOW while tyer was/is mayor? None of it could have waited, even if it was actually needed?
If the city of Pittsfield was a business, and the tax payers were investors, each and every one of them would lose their shirt. (and they kinda are)
Get out now!
There are two genders, and 37 types of queers Snarky.

Wealthy John Kerry wants to destroy American farmers. Agriculture is producing too many emissions so we need to cut back on farming according to the multi-millionaire. He doesn’t look well and is almost 80. Why won’t these elderly people retire? Not that some of the younger far left are any better, but Kerry looks worn out and his ideas are just horrible and dangerous.

I’m wondering what change is afoot as Dan mentioned in is opening?
New York Mayor Eric Adams is saying there is no more room at the inn for illegal immigrants. New York City is at full capacity and he regrets being a sanctuary city. He said something has to be done about the open borders because every area of the country will soon be overrun. Too bad it took Mayor Adams so long to arrive at the truth that globalist George Soros has his claws in every aspect of our society right now and Joe Biden is his puppet. Not just America either. European countries have been turned into Open Societies without borders because the super wealthy Soros clan is pushing this insanity across the globe.
The stooges that voted for Biden should put their signs back out on their lawns, so Mayor Adams knows where to send the criminal aliens.
He can send them to Donald Trumps resorts as he employees hundreds of them. He got caught but still does it.
Send them to your section 8 abode.
Kind of hard to avoid today. There are now 12 million illegals and each has at least 3 identities meaning, each could have a job in three different states. Even Ben and Jerry’s factory in Rutland VT was busted for hiring slave child labor. They said it was an act of charity – no joke! It’s a NYT report not that long ago. I think hiring illegals will be the ‘new cool.’
Error – change ‘hiring’ to ‘using.’
In what court of law, that you are personally aware of, would a company be convicted of abusing children by having them make ice cream?
Now this was a problem. Or was it?

Who said they were making ice cream?
*are making ice cream
Maybe they were putting new roofs on Ben and Jerry outlets?
More likely, they are cleaning equipment and toilets.
It IS the new cool. And with thousands of business s still looking for workers we made need ten million more.
Selling fentanyl and crack.

The politicians encouraging this mass influx of illegal immigrants are the real criminals. The illegal immigrants are not being screened for disease and all kinds of new diseases are appearing in the country. The politicians know that many of them will not assimilate into our country because their beliefs are so different. It’s a real mess and Biden should be held accountable because he is the person at the top encouraging this for his buddy Soros to achieve his Open Society goal.
And as a reminder, Krol was Tyer’s right arm man in bringing unvetted Syrian refugees to Pittsfield.
Has anyone from the newspaper followed up on them to see how they are doing these days? Errr? No?
pete white give me a thumbs down even when I cough
Ahem!!!
Biden is such a train wreck and so corrupt that the far left has to keep throwing indictments at Trump to keep Biden as a viable candidate for president. Biden should be impeached for the border crisis which endangers the safety and health of Americans and for pushing gender confusion on our youth. Just these 2 issues alone are enough to remove this president, but there are so many others. Jill Biden supposedly cares so much about young people, but not a word from her about the despicable gender surgeries being done on young children. Even far left European countries will not go as far as America has gone and they have banned many of these gender surgeries as being inhumane.
Jon Krol is running for best photo and thats enough to win a race for Mayor of Pittsfield. If Pete Marchetti would talk about cutting Taxes he will win.If he does not talk about cutting taxes Krols wife will win the mayors race for him.I dont know who is running Petes campaign but you must make John talk about how we need to cut taxes and if you dont Im voting for Krols wife.She is very beautiful and many people are voting for her because the candidates are afraid to talk financial abuse of the elderly.
Gavel Man talk about cutting taxes? No way in hell he goes there after not doing anything himself to help cut taxes ever. He was a player to raising taxes. Water etc. on the taxpayers. He let the current mayor spend just about every last nickel from the $42 mil on everything but relief for the taxpayers. Krol would have probably done the same. Both are not what Pittsfield needs to move forward.
Fact: He didn’t help me one tiny bit last budget season to reduce the budget.
Not even, “Well, instead of that, how about we do this instead.”
Why would he help to reduce the budget in any fashion when he was all in on the mayors budget being passed? I hope her upcoming endorsement of him as next mayor bites him in his azz .
And would I would not believe him if he did say he would be more responsible financially. He is what he is and he is still what he has been for the last ten years. His job was to go to bat for the taxpayers and reign in reckless spending. He did nothing of the sort.
He knows his own senior years are going to be financially comfortable and he has also shown that he could care less about the Pittsfield elderly, middle income or fixed income home owners. That is not going to change no matter what words he may utter during a campaign. Do not be lulled into forgetting about what he has already NOT done.
It would have been at least a nice gesture if he said something like, ‘well, lets talk about knocking a few dollars off the capital vehicle purchasing plan.’ It would have been diplomatic and constructive. Really, who can take as a personal affront a reduction in municipal steel?
Is there another city in the whole damn country that has as many municipal vehciles as Pittsfield, Ma?
I doubt it.
Every hire gets his/her own Ford Explorer.
One department head got Ernest Shackleton
Anglo-Irish explorer
Seriously, the next time you are on the roads in Pittsfield just check for the light blue municipal license plates. I see ten or twenty every time I cross town. City Maintenance use to be almost all red but now they may be white, yellow, red or whatever. There are little cars and big cars and vans and pickups etc. It is like when the prices were especially high Pittsfield decided to go shopping.
Would be curious as to how it came about that the city needed so many new vehicles during tyers administration, who got the contracts and how much the taxpayers will pay and for how many years the debt.
Not that any of this information would ever see the light of day on purpose.
Probably why the City can’t do a lot count for the City Council.
“Wait, how many cars do we actually have then??”
“I dunno, the number changes every time we count them…”
And that is the number one thing voters need to remember about Marchetti. He NEVER made any effort to find budget cuts. And his little mini mi VP did not either

The abuse of the elderly starts at the top in Washington D.C.
Including spoiled grandkids who force their elders to sit in Congress until their brains leak out their ears.
You are right. There is a strong republican movement to cut back and then eliminate Social Security. I hope you write to them to express your disenchantment.
Republican Members of Congress have proposed making health care and prescription drugs more expensive:
Last week, Republicans in the House proposed repealing the Inflation Reduction Act, including its health care provisions. And, just yesterday, Republicans on the House Budget Committee floated a proposal to repeal the health care provisions of the Inflation Reduction Act. Here’s what that would mean for working families across the country and in Florida:
Bidenflation kills your SS check.
Biden sent all the seniors SS money to Ukraine to bribe Zelensky
Biden’s inflation is the threat to social security along with his stupid domestic energy policy that keeps us from heating our homes to a decent temperature.
Fake news
Traitor Joseph Stolen, gave all Americans SS to Zelensky/Ukraine as a brib, so Zelensky wouldn’t confirm Hunter/Biden crimes.
Marchetti distributed a card listing all the things he failed to achieve in 16 years on the city council. He couldn’t get them done. That’s what 16 years of smashing walnuts with your gavel brings. # Lumpy = Linda.
I feel like marchetti smashed MY nuts when I get my tax bills. You have to have a pretty cold heart to crap all over senior citizens by not even trying to help them.
Pretty cold heart I say.
Now the SMUG wants all citizens to believe in his One Pittsfield for all bs after promoting, Just A Few in Pittsfield matter during his time as a council president. Krol wants you to believe he is an outsider riding in on a white horse to save Pittsfield.
A fake white horse is better than a horse’s ass!
But fortunately for us we have a third option. We need not vote for either of those two well documented special interest candidates. This is a rare opportunity for the taxpayers to get some help and they would be foolish to pass it up.
Jury acquits a Pittsfield man of rape allegation; defense attorney says DA prosecuted an innocent man | Crime | berkshireeagle.com
Ho hum another big fat L for the new sheriff in town Clown shoes Shagrue and his band of misfit gang of prosecutors.
This is turning into a Joke among people in the Court house.
Expect more get way less
The motto for Pittsfield
Defense claimed their client was innocent. Charges laid out in 2019 by Harrington. What if the Jury is correct? Should Jury convict as a goodwill gesture to prosecution?
Pat,
the court system has thousands of cases that are backed up because of Covid. Clown shoes Shagrue is going to have to deal with the back log. Making excuses isn’t going to cut it. The fact is they can’t seem to win in Superior Court. I have watched many recent court proceedings and the fact is the Prosecutors are awful. This is a opinion shared by many in the court house.
Is this Krol?
Have you considered that it’s the juries that are tainted in this area. Many locals are pro-criminal because of the far left agenda so they are willing to give the criminals the benefit of the doubt even over the evidence. The criminals are really victims in the far left agenda.
Plea deals ruin lives.
Squeaky strikes again!
Goodwill conviction is known to have happened! Perhaps not uncommon.
No, however, wrongful conviction, as a goodwill gesture, is known to have happend. Think about the time it wastes.
She wasn’t a minnor at the time, get over it lady. Take a shower and keep it moving.
What does this have to do with Shugrue? If this happened in 2019 then Harrington brought the charges and a jury found the man innocent.
Doesn’t Shugrue have authority to determine if a case should proceed or not proceed? Authority to cease prosecution in a case if the charges are out of line?
You know, criminals work for the SIG’s doing their dirty work, they carry guns and drugs knowing in advance they will be bailed out of all consequences.
The land owners have property managers; have career criminals; have slaves.
You know like someone’s younger brother runs drugs but is immune to charges – organized crime.
They even own the medical buildings, hospitals etc.
Crime is an industry. Drugs are an inside operation.
You already know it.
Why still questioning it.
Around here if a child gets raped, a man get beat to permanent paralysis, I guarantee everyone will not give a flying fuck. The prosecution has no idea what the word rape, assault means. Nor the impact rape has on the psyche.
Take it for the team, don’t start a pandemic/ civil war.
NOBODY CARES ABOUT ANYTHING EXCEPT GRANT MONEY. That is when we talk about equity and rape, when there is a GRANT. Otherwise it’s just opens them up for liability. They do not care about citizens- they care about acquiring more wealth.
There is no CARE in BERKSHIRE.
Nobody did a single good thing with any of the money – somewhere, something was enriched. When you figure it out lemme knuh.
When all the Squeaky Harrington cases are disposed of the progress will be evident
Are you still making payments on your Harley Andy?

Sarcasm: Billionaire John Forbes Kerry’s climate change statements:
“In early-2021, I – Jonn Kerry – owned millions of dollars in stocks in the oil and gas industry. But then I sold them to become Joe Biden’s first every climate envoy of HOT AIR!”
“The U.S. Government is the single largest polluter of greenhouse gas emissions in the world due to its huge military industrial complex.”
“Joe Biden surpassed all previous U.S. Presidents in arms sales exports, including to authoritarian regimes and countries. Military industrial complexes around the world are the leading cause of human caused climate change.”
“China is the biggest polluter of greenhouse gas emissions due to its huge military industrial complex and that 60 percent of its energy supply comes from the burning of coal. The U.S.A. is the second biggest polluter of greenhouse gas emissions due to its huge military industrial complex and 20 percent of our energy supply comes from the burning of coal. Combined, China and the U.S.A. account for a little less that 50 percent of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions.”
“Climate change is an important issue, but the only thing that really matters is that Wall Street makes trillions upon trillions of dollars off of the military industrial complex, the Swamp makes billions of dollars from arms sales exports, and Joe Biden’s administration not signing peace treaties with Russia or China because it would cut into war profits. So much for the Green New Deal LIES!”
“Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton and John Kerry all voted for the second Iraq War over 2 decades ago. Saudi Arabia has the largest oil and gas reserves in the world. Iraq has the second largest oil and gas reserves in the world. I, John Kerry, spew the most HOT AIR of any person in the world!”
“When I, John Kerry, go around the world in my private jet and I speak to foreign people at climate conferences, most of them roll their eyes at me because I am the poster child for “Do as I say, NOT as I do!”

Recently on my news hour show I stated that zero dollars would be needed for updates To the two krofta built water treatment plants. City consultants aecom have stated that the updates would be 84 million dollars. Many have questioned me as to how could this be possible. Consider that I brought the city’s cost of 150 million dollars down to 32 million dollars in the 80’s one should realize that I have a record of bringing total project costs down by 75% as compared to other types of technologies. Going from 84 million to 0 dollars is customary for me and I see this project as being very doable. I can’t convince the CC of this so I will join them and work from inside to bring this figure to reality. Being ward 6 councilor will aid me immeasurably in pulling off this project. Please help me win the ward 6 position. I’m all about saving tax and ratepayers dollars.

We definitely could use what you have to offer on the city council
I do not believe as a ward councilor you will be able to bring your fellow councilors together to make a substantial difference. You have insulted and demeaned so many before that even if you are correct about an issue or that you are an expert in that field, those you have wronged will not forget and they do not want to see you succeed. even if you haven’t insulted a particular person, you have insulted people they know and respect and therefore collectively they will be against you. As mayor I do believe you could have made some changes if you were able to garner enough public support during a campaign. I believe you chose the election you thought you could win and if you do I do believe you will try to make changes, but my prediction is that you will not be able to make the changes that you see fit and that you will become more combative and ultimately quit mid term.
Craig 4 – 6. I don’t want to date him. He’ll lead the council in a new direction. He won’t be buffaloed by a bad mayor . If those who are elected or employed by the city are insulated they should start doing their jobs if they can’t handle the truth.
But what he does have going for him is that he does not have special interest strings attached to his shoulders. And he will not referring to the mayor as Mommy.
I think you meant Mommy Dearest?

Re: In memory of former Pittsfield State Rep. Tom Wojtkowski
I had dinner out with my dad, Bob, tonight (Thursday, August 3rd, 2023), and I told my father that Tom Wojtkowski passed away and that his obituary was online, which I showed to my dad on my smartphone. I apologized to my dad for complaining about the Nuciforo/Wojtkowski family and the mean-spirited and vindictive conspiratorial political retribution they did to us over the past over 27 years now.
I told my dad that Tom Wojtkowski was a good man who did a lot of good work in politics. I do not want to go down to my enemies’ level. I want to live at my own level of dignity in the short time of my life on Earth. My dad said that he went through some of that, too, and he understood why I complained to him.
My dad said that he had a good relationship with the first Andrea Francesco Nuciforo Senior when he was a Pittsfield State Senator and then a Probate and Family Court Judge many years ago. My dad said that he served on the Pittsfield School Committee with Tom Wojtkowski’s wife, the late Anne Everest Wojtkowski (2014), who later was the first woman Mayor of Pittsfield. My dad’s career in the Pittsfield District Courthouse (late-1970 to early-2002) for a little over 31 years included seeing Attorney Tom Wojtkowski serve as a Defense Attorney many years ago now.
My dad’s 3.5 years as an elected Berkshire County Commissioner from 1997 to mid-2000 included him serving along with the second Pittsfield State Senator Andrea Francesco Nuciforo Junior (1997 – 2006). It was during the time when my dad, Bob, and the second Andrea Nuciforo Jr. served together when things became ugly for us in Pittsfield politics all the way east to the Boston Statehouse.
I understand that Tom Wojtkowski’s sister married the first Andrea Francesco Nuciforo Senior, and that the second Andrea Francesco Nuciforo Junior is Tom Wojtkowski’s nephew, and that his family came before my family in politics. I wish that Tom Wojtkowski would have stopped the Nuciforo/Wojtkowski political family from persecuting me beginning when I was only 20 years old during the Spring 1996, which is over 27 years ago now in August 2023. The Nuciforo/Wojtkowski political family never stopped hurting me, even after I relocated from Pittsfield (Massachusetts) to Amherst (New Hampshire) a little less than 20 years ago now.
I do not know what kind of people the Nuciforo/Wojtkowski political family really are, but I have felt the dark side of the aforementioned Pittsfield political family for a majority of my adult life. I am 48 years old, and my dad is 79 years old now. Both Tom & Anne Wojtkowski are passed away now. Andrea Francesco Nuciforo Junior is 59 years old now. I wish all that I have spoken out about, written about, and blogged about with the Nuciforo/Wojtkowski political family persecuting me and hurting my dad, Bob, many years ago now never happened. Life is too short for people to engage in abusive conflict and political vendettas.
I wish to thank Tom Wojtkowski for all of his years public service. I write this tonight in memory of former Pittsfield State Representative Tom Wojtkowski (1926 – 2023). May he and his predeceased wife Anne both Rest in Peace.

Even in someone’s death you find away to tie in your bs to keep your crap up about certain people. STFU!
You make many yen if you write for fortune cookie factory
Food for thought:
The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum. That gives people the sense that there’s free thinking going on, while all the time the presuppositions of the system are being reinforced by the limits put on the range of the debate. ~Noam Chomsky
Yeah well, now that you gone bring Chomsky into it, there are some who would say this is something other than ‘free speech.’
What do you mean ‘something other than free speech’ (greetings from the upper peninsula)?
Lot’s of people afraid or unwilling to speak freely.
I see. If you limit the range of acceptable opinion, then it is not free speech.

Thumbs up for me. We don’t agree on much, but on this we do agree. Krol and Marchetti will be puppets for the schools and for the far left agenda which are really one and the same.
You are right Pat as they are both going to give schools without questions everything they ask for no matter the ask. To many votes from that voting bloc to not give them everything they ask for.
Are the panhandler’s and bum’s still harassing customers on the way into Dotties? Hopefully the Pete’s get a taste of what the everyday customers get there and else where across the city. I heard panhandlers are voting for Gavel Man because he is on record saying he doesn’t want to use the police to move them along and would call in social services to handle moving them along.

Re: Smitty Pignatelli is not “a better lawmaker”!
Lenox State Representative Smitty Pignatelli wrote a letter praising the late Tom Wojtkowski, who was a Pittsfield State Representative on Beacon Hill many years ago. Smitty Pignatelli’s letter is flawed because he is not “a better lawmaker”!
Smitty Pignatelli has been a corrupt career politician in the Boston State House of Representatives for over 20.5 years now. He has always voted down Sunshine Laws that would open the state’s “cooked books” to rules reforms. He has even stated that he openly supports the closed-door corruption and secrecy led by the top-down State House Speaker(s) because it efficient.
Smitty Pignatelli has happily accepted countless public pay raises plus perks. In early-2017, Smitty Pignatelli voted for the outrageous 40 percent state legislative pay raise bill. Also, Smitty Pignatelli voted for House Speakers Tom Finneran and Sal DiMasi, who later became convicted Felons due to their corruption in state government.
Smitty Pignatelli supports GE’s misguided proposal to supposedly cleanup the polluted Housatonic River from Pittsfield down south to Great Barrington, which includes GE putting a capped “leaky landfill” full of industrial chemicals called PCBs in Lee. Capped toxic waste dumps are time limited. After a period of time, the caps always all fail, and then the PCBs will again spread in the Housatonic River in the future. Capped landfills must be monitored from day one.
GE’s proposal is to put its capped “leaky landfill” inside of a watershed in the Housatonic River in Lee that borders Lenoxdale. The capped toxic waste dump is too close to the October Mountain aquifer. The people who live in the area are protesting Smitty Pignatelli’s support for GE over his constituents.
Smitty Pignatelli’s college degree is in Finance. GE has not made a financial commitment to its proposed cleanup of the Housatonic River, which will cost at least $576 million and take 15 years to complete once it starts after years of litigation in federal court. Shouldn’t GE’s unfunded promise to his legislative district be a red flag to this “financial genius” who has long enriched himself at the public trough?
Smitty Pignatelli writes op-ed about the Berkshires’ shrinking tax base with the past 50 years of thousands of lost living wage jobs and diminishing population numbers while the local tax burden increases without ever once looking at himself in the proverbial mirror as a failed corrupt career politician who voted for hundreds of millions of dollars in state tax breaks for Boston area big businesses that has nothing to do with his mostly rural legislative district in the beautiful Berkshires.
Smitty Pignatelli writes lofty op-eds in Western Massachusetts newspapers that belie his real failed public record in Boston, which is being a rubber stamp bureaucrat for the corrupt State House Speaker on Beacon Hill. Smitty Pignatelli’s real public record in Boston is one of doing many DISSERVICES against the common people and taxpayers.
Smitty Pignatelli writes that then Pittsfield State Senator Andrea Nuciforo Jr.’s Uncle Tom Wojtkowski had a desk in his Boston Statehouse office back in 2003 when Smitty Pignatelli began his political career in the State House. But 3 years later in 2006, Nuciforo had to step down from his State Senator elected position because he was allegedly illegally double dipping as the Chair of the State Senate Finance Committee while at the same time serving as a private corporate Attorney for Boston’s big banks and insurance companies under the Boston Law Firm named Berman and Dowell. That is not something to omit!
Smitty Pignatelli represents the WORST in state government! Smitty Pignatelli is a phony!

Love the Bee!
True. How many Democrats have questioned election results and it was all beautiful. Hillary called Trump an illegitimate president for years.
So Pat am I correct in assuming that you still believe the election was fraudulent and that all the courts were wrong and all the republicans that believe the election was accurate are wrong? And is it true that you would still vote for Donald Trump in a heartbeat if he runs again?
Can we get you on record please?
Me too Pat!!
Putin has better interests of/for America, than Biden Crime Cartel.
If he nuked DC, with Congress in session, 95% of Americans would cheer.
Then Americans could start fresh with with a Constitution Republic again. Not the tyranny that exists now.
