PLANET VALENTI NEWS AND COMMENTARY

(FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE, THE WEEKEND EDITION MARCH 8-10, 2024) — THE PLANET begins with a brief reaction to Thursday night’s State of the Union Address.

“Come on, man!”

This wasn’t a SOTU update. Biden gave a stump speech. How embarrassing. He attacked his predecessor, something no president has ever done in addressing both sessions of Congress. It was the oddest, strangest such address in this country’s history.

There’s something seriously off about the man, and his bizarre cadence, phrasings, volume shifts, and other vocalizations give rise to a chilling thought: If he’s like this now, imagine what it’s going to be like should he be re-elected. At 86, four years older, he’ll be as coherent as an oyster roasting helplessly on a blazing sidewalk.

A PLANET prediction: This speech sealed his doom in November.

———- ooo ———-

Biden had to nerve to mention Laken Hope Reilly in his speech.

As well he should, since he is responsible for her murder via his disastrous dissolution of America’s southern border. THE PLANET shares this article from CNN. It highlights the immense sadness of this tragic case, at the same time prompting anger and fury at every woke person who supported Idiot Joe. They too share in Reilly’s murder.

Questions remain in investigation of death of Augusta University student found on UGA campus

———- ooo ———-

THE PLANET invites your comments on the State of the Union address and any other issue.

Have a great weekend, everybody!

——————————————————————–

There’s nothing nothing nothing beyond our capacability our capacity” — Joe Biden, actual quote.

“OPEN THE WINDOW, AUNT MILLIE.”

LOVE TO ALL.

Joe had a pin with the correct spelling of her name and picture of her in his hand while making his remarks about it.Unintentionally he admitted an illegal committed her murder. Afterwards, the media and his democrat colleagues and friends were more upset with him using the term “illegal”, than they were with her murder.

Heard on scanner yesterday. Home owner called police to report a shoe-less man sitting on her porch. Had no idea who he was. Police came and said there was a serious language problem and were having trouble communicating with him. Apparently they cannot detain such a person if he is not harming anyone so they just move them along and wait for the next call.

Gonna be a fun summer in Pittsfield if you don’t live high on a hill like the mayor or out on the bottom of the mountain like the last poor excuse for a peoples rep.

Can the city be sued for encouraging and abetting dangerous people to locate in population centers? Smart lawyers may want to draft up some legalese talking points so they can hit the ground running.

Clear affirmation that our great Republic has been woefully hijacked by a foreign entity of government called the Biden Cartel. Everything we were founded to be, everything we hold dear, and every right to life, liberty and the pursuance of happiness is being or has been purposely expunged from our lives. This man and his insidious Cartel of bankrupt bandoleers are absolutely unhinged and out of control. It couldn’t be any clearer, the pernicious pathway these demonacrats have elected to take this great nation. Unfortunately we,will soon see the full impact of the felonious fallout of this feckless fabulist and his demonic minions of mendacity.

Trouble with that line is that through at least the ’60’s, Republicans were called liberals. Democrats were still heavy with Jim Crow at zero gneration. I refer you to Phil Ochs’ song, “Love Me, Love Me, I’m a Liberal”

He mocks Republican liberalism for lack of radicalism.

[Intro]
In every American community, you have varying shades of political opinion. One of the shadiest of these is the liberals. An outspoken group on many subjects. Ten degrees to the left of center in good times, ten degrees to the right of center if it affects them personally. So here, then, is a lesson in safe logic. 

[Verse 1]
I cried when they shot Medgar Evers
Tears ran down my spine
And I cried when they shot Mr. Kennedy
As though I’d lost a father of mine
But Malcolm X got what was coming
He got what he asked for this time
So love me, love me, love me, I’m a liberal
Get it?

[Verse 2]
I go to civil rights rallies
And I put down the old D.A.R. 
(D.A.R., that’s the Dykes of the American Revolution)
I love Harry and Sidney and Sammy
I hope every colored boy becomes a star
But don’t talk about revolution
That’s going a little bit too far
So love me, love me, love me, I’m a liberal

[Verse 3]
I cheered when Humphrey was chosen
My faith in the system restored
I’m glad that the Commies were thrown out
Of the A.F.L. C.I.O. board
And I love Puerto Ricans and Negros
As long as they don’t move next door
So love me, love me, love me, I’m a liberal

“Trump will destroy the Democrat party version of “democracy”. To that, I say it couldn’t happen fast enough.”

I understand why you MAGA folks are no longer in favor of democracy: it is because your views are not the views of the majority, and so leaders with your views won’t be elected in a democratic system.

The problem with you wanting a non-democratic, authoritarian, brute-force system is that the non-MAGAs outnumber you, and so you will also lose the brute-force battle.

Letter: I took issue with AP’s ‘Not Real News’ article
Mar 8, 2024

To the editor: I find it hilarious The Berkshire Eagle publishes a “Not Real News” section.

In the Feb. 12 edition, we have “New York migrants are not getting credit cards.” If you read beyond the printed headline, The Associated Press notes “The claim: New York City is giving credit cards to migrants living in the U.S. illegally,” and the “facts” go on to explain the program will provide migrants with prepaid debit cards.

So yes, technically they are not receiving “credit cards” but the are receiving debit cards, funded with taxpayer dollars. In a city that has devolved into chaos with murders, violence against police, rapes and theft dominating the news, the New York City’s leaders believe this is prudent. The good news: The participants “will be required to sign an affidavit affirming that they will be using these cards for the intended purposes” and that doing otherwise will risk removal from the program. That should surely prevent misuse.

Meanwhile, after admitting a family member into a nursing home, my family has to worry about how to pay for care. This family member is a Navy veteran, worked his entire life, paid taxes and obeyed the law, and this is the thanks we give him and his family. Disgusting.

If you are able to admit a family member into nursing home in Massachusetts, if you pay out of pocket for nursing home care, you are taxed $3,500 per year.

To boost Medicaid funding for Massachusetts’ 450 “struggling” nursing homes, the state has enacted a nursing home user fee, the Boston Globe reports. The tax, about $9.60 per day or $3,504 per year, will be levied on the estimated 8,000 nursing home patients who pay for their own care”

Good point RK.

I’d love to see all the older, white, liberal, reactions, if the Berkshire Eagle headlined their Sunday morning newspaper, with the picture of the two nude teen boys orally pleasuring each other in a “69 position.”

They could then have the other picture of the two teen boys in a car talking about searching for gay porn and how they thought everyone searched for it, right below the first picture.

**I thought you had to be 18 or older to access pornography. Did that law change?

Next, you could open up to the second page and find a young girl developing breasts wishing she had breast cancer, to rid herself of her developing breasts.

**Guess why? She “identifies as a guy,” now and developing breasts thwarts that plan.

Do I believe this book “Gender Queer” and books like it should be banned in public schools?

You bet your A$$ I do. Kids have no business reading that garbage.

It’s nothing more than promoting child porn, gay porn, and long term mental health issues in kids. All these “transgender kids” will be pharmaceutical drug dependent years down the road.

You know, when reality sets in that 99.99% of the world thinks it’s extremely disturbing behavior that they believe they are something they are not.

And for those of you liberals about to give me the “kids can look up anything” argument, I’ll tell you it has more impact when it’s a teacher or person in authority (principal, cultural competency coach, superintendent, etc), promoting or talking it up to their students, than it does having their friends finding porn on his/her phone and sharing it.

So was rent, but many people including myself just received a big rent increase courtesy of Joe Biden and his terrible economy. So sick of people blaming our poor economy on COVID. The COVID crisis ended years ago, but Biden’s policies of attacking energy and our farmers is keeping our economy from recovering except for the wealthy who are doing just fine. Anyone earning over $100K has no idea what all the fuss is about our economy because they are not feeling it. They are home owners with their mortgages paid off, they have climate controlled heating and cooling systems in their homes which helps to offset the soaring cost of energy. The burden of Joe Biden’s terrible economy is falling on the struggling working class and old Joe knows it.

Hello Erin Leahy at Act on Mass,

Like you, I look forward to Sunshine Week from Sunday, March 10th – 16th, 2024. I hope that voters will elect new state representatives and senators to Boston’s corrupt, inaccessible, inequitable, secretive and top-down Statehouse in 2024. It would be too good to be true for all of the Rubber Stamp career politicians in Boston (and beyond) would be voted out of their elected offices in 2024.

The government is supposed to serve the people of Massachusetts, not the Almighty Dollar and the financial, corporate and ruling elites in Boston who profit off of corruption. The government is supposed to use the taxpayers’ dollars to invest in people and communities. If not, then the career politicians are no different than a thief in the night who breaks into one’s home and steals their belongings while one sleeps. I liken career politicians who only do DISSERVICES in the government to thieves in the night.

The cap of 9-months on emergency shelter stays is a structural assault on the underclass families in Massachusetts. Homelessness and poverty are a structural assault on a person and a family. There are three types of conflicts and violence. The first kind is direct assaults such as verbal assaults and physical assaults. The second kind is structural assaults such as poverty, joblessness, and homelessness. The third kind is cultural assaults such as one race, religion, gender, etc., saying that they are superior to the would-be inferior race, religion, gender, etc. When any and all of these types of assaults occur in society, it is all of our duty to limit and stop conflicts and violence against people and families. Unfortunately, the most vulnerable people and families experience a majority of these types of assaults, while the elites think and say it is not in their interest to help. Whatever happened to being a good man, good woman, or good person?

State House Speaker Ronny Mariano opposes state legislation that would require that the schools that teach sex ed and use a medically-accurate and LGBTQ+-inclusive curriculum. Massachusetts is one of 11 states out of 50 that does not teach children about sex education. Since I was a teenager, I learned that when an man has an erection, a man emits sperm prior to, during ejaculation, and after, and that when a man’s genitals are near or in a woman’s genitals, the sperm can travel to a woman’s egg, and that the woman can become pregnant. In short, a man should not have his genitals near or in a woman’s genitals because the man’s sperm can reach the woman’s egg, and then the woman can get pregnant. I do not understand why schools would not explain these sex ed facts to their student. Pregnancy and giving birth to a baby and raising a child is a life-altering event for every person and family in human history.

Governor Maura Healey’s financial proposals and policies are misguided and inequitable. She proposes a 50 percent reduction in state funding for re-entry programs for formerly incarcerated people in Massachusetts. In addition, she proposes level-funding other initiatives that advocates say would reduce recidivism rates, including rental assistance and reentry programs for young adults. Also, she proposes online lottery gambling, cutting state funding for gambling addiction services, and would double state funding for marketing gambling in Massachusetts. As we all know all too well, gambling on a policy is really regressive taxation. The record-breaking profits by the Massachusetts State Lottery is achieved by decades of the state government marketing their regressive taxation scheme(s) to the mostly financially illiterate low- to moderate-income residents who live in poor communities. The greedy lobbyists, such as Dan Bosley of the poor City of North Adams and the big business-filled City of Boston, see the lottery’s huge profits as a way to get bigger state tax breaks for their big business clients. The state lottery is a big SCAM!

Moreover, Governor Maura Healey recently cut $375 million in state funding to Social Services agencies and other state programs that assists people and communities in need. This is the same Governor Maura Healey who places the underclass population in distressed cities throughout Massachusetts who rely on state funding for Social Services agencies to balance their budgets. Governor Maura Healey’s misguided and inequitable financial policies are at extreme odds with her support for illegal immigrants having emergency shelters and the right to shelter law(s) in Massachusetts. She refuses to raise state taxes to pay for her big state government proposals and policies. Governor Maura Healey is misguided. I believe that she should step down from her elected office of Governor of Massachusetts because she is leading the commonwealth towards an iceberg similar to the one that sank the Titanic over one century ago.

Best wishes,

Jonathan A. Melle

Hello Governor Maura Healey,

I am not a subscriber to The Dirty Bird rag otherwise called The Berkshire Eagle so I am unable to read the full news story of the starving underclass families in Western Massachusetts, which has systemic multi-generational poverty that has been studied by the Boston Federal Reserve over the years. Of course, I – Jon Melle – grew up and spent a majority of my life in Western Massachusetts, so I understand the severe economic inequality there on a personal basis.

You need to not only reverse the $375 million in state funding cuts to Social Services Agencies, but also, you should increase the state funding to meet the increasing need of the starving underclass families, especially in Western Massachusetts which has it the worst in the commonwealth.

As the Governor, you have to deliver positive results for the entire commonwealth, not just the wealthy elites in and around Boston and its wealthy suburban municipalities. If you fail to deliver, then you are a failed public manager, and you need to step down as the Governor of Massachusetts to let a new Governor deliver for the entire commonwealth.

If I were the would-be Governor of Massachusetts, I would be all over this matter of the starving underclass families in the commonwealth. Unlike you, I would not be supporting all of the gambling industries, cutting state funding for Social Services for compulsive gambling addicts, doubling the state funding to market gambling in Massachusetts, and so on. On a policy level, gambling is really regressive taxation. If you do not understand any and all of these matters, then unfortunately, you are similar to the underclass residents you are doing DISSERVICES to.

I want to help you, but I am a disabled man. I hope that my letters to you are helping you, but I am very frustrated by your decisions as the Governor of Massachusetts. You are different than the very wealthy trust fund Harvard legacy Governors Bill Weld and Willard Mitt Romney. You are not as corporate as Governor Deval Patrick and Charlie Baker. It seems to me that you may not understand financial management policies because you are an Attorney by education and career. If you do, indeed, understand financial management policies, then you are the most misguided and inequitable Governor of Massachusetts to date.

Best wishes,

Jon Melle

Are there any other cities in America, besides Pittsfield, Ma, that are wealthy enough to build a 40 million dollar stadium for a “minor” league baseball team that draws about 30 paid customers per game, during a short season and has the taxpayers historically funding a large chunk of its operational costs?

And is the owner of this team and his investment group the driving force behind the push to have taxpayers build a new modern upscale facility? Whose idea was this in the first place? Really. And who will the real beneficiaries of this new taxpayer bleeding venture be? Will it be a private business venture that should have built the stadium on their own because they will be the ones making money from it? Or will it be the taxpayers, 99 percent of whom will never go near the place?

Will the mayor allow himself to be pushed around knowing that if he goes forward with this project it will make him look like a tool who caters to special interests and not the people he begged to vote for him? And if so, how utterly sad that would be for the people of Pittsfield to be scammed once again by politicians who pretend to care about them but do not.

You’re giving the Suns too much credit. They are not a Minor League team. They play in a College League, one of about 80 in the Country. The Grandstand could be repaired, I know they say it can’t, I’m not buying it. You shore up the structure and repair the foundation (if needed) and replace the steel beams and cross members.
