PLANET VALENTI NEWS AND COMMENTARY

(FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE, WEDNESDAY JULY 10, 2024) — THE PLANET back in town quickly for personal reasons and business, and we thought it would be the perfect time to refresh the screen and give our welcome commentators the continued opportunity for Free Speech.

After all, THE PLANET is the only game in town when it comes to that. Other local media outlets like to talk about First Amendment freedoms. We, on the other hand, are the only medium that BELIEVES in them, and we prove it by our ACTIONS.

The Army of Robots have done a fine job of regulating the board in our absence. They do the work, never call in sick, and display no weird emotionality. The AOR respects free speech, weeding out the few non-hackers who do not have the character to serve the needs of this beloved site.

After our business is addressed in a cogent and appropriate manner, we shall climb aboard to resume our desert hegira, where the oasis contains cool, refreshing, blue-green water and the trees say in time to a slow Tex Behnke number, like a cartoon from the 1930s.

Meanwhile, we watch with amusement from 30,000 feet as the POTUS continues to disintegrate before our eyes, the Commonwealth shades population and wealth while adding poverty and squalor, and the city follows suit, its idiot political leaders made oblivious to the deterioration and crumbling of its infrastructure and quality of life by satiated greed .

On that happy note, THE PLANET bids you adieu until next time.

Be kind, be safe, and may the Good Lord taking a likin’ to ya.

Here’s a think piece we think you’ll find thought inducing.

The Lies We Have Lived Through

“You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time.” — Often attributed to Abraham Lincoln

By Victor Davis Hanson

After last Thursday’s debate, Biden himself laid to rest the Democratic lie that he was robust and in control of his faculties. In truth, he demonstrated to the nation that he is a sad, failing octogenarian who could not perform any job in America other than apparently the easy task of President of the United States and Commander-in-Chief in charge of our nuclear codes

In 2019, Democratic primary candidates often hit rival Joe Biden for his apparent senior moments and incoherence. During the 2020 campaign, Biden often became in bizarre fashion animated and nasty (“you ain’t black”/“fat”/“lying dog-faced pony soldier”/“junkie”).

His “corn pop” stories were grotesque and had a senile accentuation of his earlier “super-predator” and “clean” black riffs. As president, his mental decline progressed geometrically, in the sense that every three months, Biden became far, far worse than during the prior 90 days. His handlers long ago had determined that masking his feebleness at the expense of the security and safety of the nation was a small price to pay to retain power.

What followed was the most comprehensive deceit in presidential history, analogous to insisting that frail and dying FDR in 1944 was just fine as the November election approached or that Woodrow Wilson was expertly running the country as he lay bedridden and near comatose.

Any who questioned the vigorous Biden narrative was trashed as “ageist.” Special counsel Robert Hur was dubbed a “hack” for accurately describing Biden as so amnesiac he would win nullification acquittal from a sympathetic jury.

An array of court sycophants periodically gave interviews, insisting that the robust Biden was smarter and wiser than ever. His press secretary, Karin Jean-Pierre, helped coin a new slur, “cheap fake,” for any who collated video and audio clips demonstrating that Biden was obviously non compos mentis. Would she say the same today after the about-face CNN panelists reviewed Biden’s serial debate lapses to support their now-opportune advocacy that he not run for reelection? Would she wish to be a passenger in a car driven by Biden?

In sum, the “dynamic Biden” farce was finally laid to rest by a debate, but not before it had served the original leftist Faustian bargain. Under the guise of COVID, an enfeebled and stationary Biden outsourced his entire 2020 campaign to toady journalists and surrogate politicians.

His task was to pose from his basement as the uniter, ‘good ol’ Joe from Scranton,’ serving as the pseudo-moderate veneer for the most far left agenda in recent history. In the bargain, Joe and Jill enjoyed the privileges of power and status, while they farmed out the presidency to an array of former Obama subordinates and the hard left of what is left of the old Democratic Party.

The useful lie continued throughout his presidency, escalating in direct proportion to Joe’s mounting stumbles, brain freezes, rambling, and incomprehensible speech. When our president said something either outrageous or unfathomable, the public was to assume that it was intemperate to attribute his failures to senility.

So, the nation became acculturated to deciphering about 60 percent of what he said and writing off the rest to his never-to-be-spoken-of disability. It was the cognitive bookend to the ruse that FDR was able to stand and walk—although far worse because being wheel-chair bound is not a limitation for a president, whereas cognitive incapacity of Biden’s magnitude most certainly is.

The Biden lie was the crown jewel of a number of other left-wing/media fabrications. The more they spread, the more they seemed absurd, and the more they were refuted—so all the more others took their place and the more their promulgators never apologized but simply moved on to their next one. The common denominator was that all the lies, during their existence, were useful to the progressive project.

The Russian collusion hoax helped lose Trump the 2016 popular vote. Its resumption during his presidency ate up 22 months of his administration during the Special Counsel Robert Mueller farce.

The October surprise laptop disinformation lie may have cost Trump the 2020 election. But it was concocted so that Joe Biden could stare at the debate camera and swear to the American people that Trump was a liar, citing “51 intelligence authorities” who insisted Hunter Biden’s laptop was a likely hallmark of Russian disinformation.

We were asked to believe that clever Russian disinformationists fabricated all the sick photos and selfies of poor Hunter, knew the Biden family’s intimate tensions and fault lines as evidenced in the computer’s texts and emails, and were able to package and deposit the computer to either a Russian operative masquerading as a computer repairment or have it delivered to the supposedly useful idiot. The truth was, the FBI had the laptop during the debate and had long verified its authenticity—and thus kept mum as its brethren intelligence apparatchiks lied to the nation.

What the untruth did not fully reveal was that Biden’s campaign foreign policy guru, Anthony Blinken (the current Secretary of State), cooked up the entire ruse. He enlisted former CIA grandee Mike Morell, who then rounded up on spec the confessed lying duo of John Brennan and James Clapper, who in turn drafted still more deceivers, among them the once esteemed Leon Panetta.

And the lie worked perfectly as envisioned, far better than even Russian “collusion.” The nation

was deceived into believing that the “asset” Trump was reduced once again to colluding with Putin to enlist his former KGB soldiers to smear the upright Biden family and thus warp yet another election.

Note that all these lies were never retracted. No one ever apologizes. No one is ever punished, even when the lie is given under oath. No one ever has any regrets. And no one ever has any hesitation to lie again, given the utility of the prior untruth.

We were told by the deceitful Alejandro Mayorkas that the border was “secure” as he deliberately destroyed it and welcomed in over 10 million illegal aliens. That lie survived even the absurdity of years of nightly news clips (“cheap fakes?”) of thousands swarming an open border. And it died only when the 2024 election approached and the Biden administration read polls showing that a vast majority wanted the border closed and illegal entrants deported. Then suddenly, the lie that the border was secure transmogrified into the back-up lie that

“Republicans would not help us close the now-insecure border.” Translated into Orwellian terms, the border that was crossed by 10 million was always secure but could have been made even more secure had Republicans joined Democrats to secure what was already “secure.”

We live in an era of lies. Sometimes they are purely political, like the Charlottesville “both sides” yarn. And sometimes they change history, like the fabrications that bats and pangolins, not the communist Chinese Wuhan virology lab, birthed the COVID-19 virus, or the Anthony Fauci contortion that his offices did not fund and help out, stealthily and in circumvention of U.S. law, deadly gain-of-function virology research in communist China.

Yet another lie was institutionalized: the January 6 riot was a full-fledged, carefully planned armed insurrection to overthrow the government. In contrast, the four months in 2020 of killing, assault, arson, and looting that saw over 35 dead, 1,500 injured law enforcement officers, $2 billion in damage, and a federal courthouse, a police precinct and a historic church torched were “cries of the heart” from the oppressed and victimized.

Those untruths ensured that hundreds of mostly naïve protestors who showed up in the capitol soon became convicted felons serving long sentences, while the 14,000 arrested for the 2020 mayhem were mostly released as overzealous but otherwise sympathetic activists.

These lies changed the course of the nation. They are birthed by the incestuous marriage of a Washington-New York political culture and a corrupt media.

The purveyors are Juvenal’s “who will police the police.” They are the administrative overseers in the FBI, CIA, DOJ, and the various cabinets and agencies. They feel they are exempt from any consequences for the damage they do, given that in their day jobs they operate as judges, jury and executioners.

Finally, while all governments lie, the left is far more adroit at it because, in their any-means-necessary/the-ends-justify-the-means credo, they spread supposedly good “lies” that stop the Hitlerian Trump, neuter the creepy deplorables/irredeemables/chumps/clingers or save the good people from the MAGA anti-vaxers and assorted yahoos.

Will the lies continue?

Indeed, they will thrive until the people slash the administrative state of its unaccountable and unelected “experts”; until they indict those in the future like Andrew McCabe, James Clapper, John Brennan and their brethren who lie under oath or to federal investigators; until they ostracize and utterly discredit those like Mayorkas, Fauci, and the Bidens whose deceptions took hostage an entire nation; and until they tune out a bankrupt media, the power cord of the entire Pravda enterprise.

Donald Trump is the ultimate Moral Hypocrite and he will brazenly continue the Republican Party’s hypocritical legacy of MORAL HYPOCRISY.

In 2020, Joe Biden raised and spent more campaign MONEY than any other candidate in U.S. history. Joe Biden bought the presidency after running for the elected position since 1988.

Recently and for the first time ever, Donald Trump out-raised Joe Biden in campaign donations. Donald Trump lost the 2020 election to Joe Biden because the Democrats raised and spent a historically huge sum of campaign dollars.

JM I realize you are impossible to get through to. I can only imagine you were a nightmare for your Army Sgt’s to deal with. Let me guess, always in sick call? Medical muffins was a term “guys” in my squad were deemed by the Sgt’s who were frequent flyers there.

Had you been a few years older, say my age, I’m sure some “wall to wall counseling” would have cured your “issues,” but we’re here today.

Please read what the Smith-Mundt Act of 1948 was.

Now, look up HR 4310, signed into law by Hussein Obama in 2012 and what it allowed the US government due to its own citizens.

To address your post, the democRATS and RINOS (deep state) unleashed a biological weapon of mass destruction (COVID-19) on the entire planet to help steal the election.

Why? Trump’s economy was thriving. People like me, who work for a living, were seeing gains in our investments like never before, and the WORLD WAS AT PEACE. Reread that again.

COVID allowed Joe to hide in his basement and when he did debate Trump, remember the “51 intelligence agents who swore Hunter’s laptop was Russian disinformation.” You left that key fact out JM. But I understand facts get in the way of a horsesh!t narrative you and others on here have fallen for, hook, line, and sinker.

The FIB hid the laptop from the public during election time. Would you have still voted for Xiden had you known that and what was in it, now that it’s verified as REAL? You probably wouldn’t have cared, but many logical people wouldn’t have and THEY KNEW IT.

January 6 was a staged event by the democRATS in an attempt to divert attention away from the election THEY STOLE. Trump offered 10,000 national guard troops to protect the Capitol, but Pelosi TURNED IT DOWN.

Pelosi knew those two unexploded pipe bombs, that the FIB still hasn’t found the suspects, were there for the national guard members had they actually showed up. How do you explain the suspects still at large for two pipe bombs on 1/6, but grandmas were getting locked up for taking selfies with Capitol cops inside the Capitol? I’d love to hear one JM.

As I’ve said to you on here before, you got issues my friend if guy talk still bothers you at your age.

A person talking about your mom or other female member in your family, a bit different. But that’s not the case here.

A bit of advice I’d tell my boys if they were you, “It’s time to grow up and quit playing professional victim.”

Maybe a bit harsher to my own boys.

Of course “law enforcement” noticed, they were involved with it being erected.

Later seen walking back to complete construction in full view for all to see. As biden would say, “come on man”.

He could bring his infrastructure project with him and paint the crosswalks so less people get run over in Pittsfield this year.

You would think the state would mandate it when they give them all that road money. Maybe they do but it gets spent on flower pots along the sides of the roads that the run over pedestrian can look up at as he or she writhes on the ground. Hopefully not kids.

Great article for us to read seeing that we are 2 months away from being able to vote, you know the election that the Democrats don’t want safeguarded to make sure only Americans vote and that they only vote once! The Democrats continue the lie that drop boxes help the disenfranchised because they can’t possibly get to the voting booth in their precinct but can make to the church, which is usually next to the place the voting booths are, to drop their votes in “early and often”!
Even though the TDS crowd on here find it hard to fathom, because of their brainwashed peanuts in their skull, the Democrats have been the “Orwellian actors/writers” since their start, always sabotaging words to fit their definitions so they can get elected. To them it is all about the power. As you noted above since Wilson the Democrats have always been lying about the President. Saw a great clip about Biden. Someone posted his 2012 debate with Paul Ryan against his most recent debate, the change is dramatic, in 2012 Biden acted like Trump in the debate and this year he acted like poor old Uncle Ed in the dementia ward, yet Massachusetts Democrats will continue to vote for Biden, although it may be all the dead people who are voting seeing how it recently came out that the voting registers have no way of knowing actually who is legal to vote and where,,,,definitely living in Bizarro land

Fascinating that when it comes to banking the institutions can account to the exact penny at any moment of what is deposited, withdrawn and who does it is absolutely iron clad. Banks have been doing this for a very long time. When to it comes to vote tally our government just does not have a handle on the process (by design) and as citizens all of us should be very very concerned and upset that they don’t.

Not only do Liberals love to change the meanings of words, they make words up, in addition to subsituting one word for another.The examples are too numerous to list, but some of the more clever. Some over the last decade are worth mentioning:
Biological sex = gender
Climate warming = climate change
Birthing person = a person with a uterus
Chest feeding person = a person with breasts
Social justice = redistribution of wealth
CRT = White skin = racist (by default)
DEI = affirmative action on steroids
American patriot = far right extremist
Extreme weather = (see climate change)
Non-binary = denial of biological sex
Ze/zer/zit = substition pronouns for he, her and it

Feel free to expand the list.

I would like Snark, JM, TSC, Mr. Worldwide, and Azzhatter, to read a quote from the late, great, Ronald Regan.

“Keep voting democRAT. One day they will restrict your freedoms, restrict your history, and restrict your safety. All in the name of professional victims that don’t understand the consequences of their ignorance.”

As you (whatever you ID as) read this, let it sink that Regan stated this almost 40 years ago and it currently describes the democRAT party of today and your beliefs. Sad…

I think they want to pull Biden out. But they cannot find anyone who wants the job now that everyone knows that AIPAC is the real government and the American presidency is one of being a puppet under their control.
Bidens legacy will be one of aiding and abetting the killing thousands of innocent woman and children in Gaza. The next president, whichever side he comes from, has the choice of also participating in the slaughter, or going against that powerful lobby. Most people do not want participating in genocide to be attached to their family history. It will be a heavy cross for any descendant to carry as this may never be forgotten.

Sportswriter and author Rick Reilly is breaking down Donald Trump’s golf game after the former president boasted on Sunday that he was awarded two championships by his own golf club.

The So Help Me Golf author appeared on Deadline White House with Nicolle Wallace to share firsthand observations from when he’s golfed with Trump.

“I’ve always said golf is like bicycle shorts. It reveals a lot about a guy,” Reilly joked during his appearance. “And what it reveals about this guy is that he cannot lose. He has to win and he will do anything to cheat.”

“And I know because I played golf with him and he took seven mulligans. He took a ‘give me chip-in.’ I’ve never even heard of a ‘give me chip-in,'” he added.

A spokesperson for Trump denied Reilly’s claims of cheating when reached by PEOPLE on Wednesday.

Reilly claimed during the segment that he has seen Trump win tournaments even though he wasn’t “in the state when the tournament’s played,” and he also won a tournament in North Korea when he was talking to leader Kim Jong Un. Reilly claimed he also witnessed this happen during a two-day tournament this year.

“What he does [is] he just calls in and goes, ‘I usually beat that guy, give me the trophy,’” Reilly alleged.

“And I know this because when I play with him, he goes, ‘You know what I do to win these championships, don’t ya?’ and I go, ‘Please tell me. Give it to me.’ And he goes, ‘Anytime I buy a new course, I play the first round all by myself and then I declare myself the club champion,’” Reilly continued. “So that’s what kind of guy this is.”

Spoken like a true liberal suffering from a severe case of TDS, like you have Azzhatter.

First and foremost, I don’t look or stare at men in bicycle shorts.

Never have, never will. I’m not sure what it reveals about a man, other than the size of his junk. I guess it’s another reason I don’t care to bike and prefer to use other methods to exercise to keep myself healthy.

I’ll take a nice looking woman in yoga pants at the gym, store, anywhere, basically over a guy in biker shorts 8-days a week. But that’s me.

I’ll leave the judging a man’s character by what’s in his bicycle shorts to you.

From Mrs. Prime:

Great article!  Journalism, like science, should be born out of a curiosity to reveal the truth.  Too many times in journalism (and we now know about science) the conclusion is drawn and the truth is perverted to support a small minorities view.  When we get rid of critical thinking, in the home, in the public schools and universities, you are left with nothing but zombies ready to lap up every morsel of the Woke BS going around today. We need to get back to the practice of meritocracy—-not everyone gets a trophy!  Hire the best people—even if they are purple, and be prepared to be butt hurt in your life!  As my mother always said “life isn’t fair”; but it can be a lot more fair if people would stick to the facts and not spread their ideology as truth.

Letter: “Mountain bike proposal for Springside Park deserves more scrutiny”
The Berkshire Eagle, July 10, 2024

To the editor: It seems that New England Mountain Bike Association and local advocates for the proposed Springside Park mountain bike complex are showing their true intent. (“The Pittsfield Parks Commission continues to support a proposed mountain bike course at Springside Park. When will it be built?” Eagle, Jan. 18.)

Their request at the June 18 Parks Commission meeting is a 180-degree reversal from their past promises. The current plea for city assistance and funding defies credulity.

Since it is clear they can’t raise the necessary funding, they are now desperate and trying to change or even (re)move the goalposts previously established.

And once again, they are betraying a public commitment since fall 2020 to fully fund the planning, design, construction, maintenance and removal of the structures and their donation to the people of Pittsfield. This guarantee, out of an altruistic dedication to the well-being of our community, especially for “economically depressed” residents of the Morningside area (of course, at thousands of dollars per bike plus gear) appears false. They pretend to love nature while, in my opinion, proposing to destroy plant and animal habitat, demolishing roots, the land and all forms of environmental well-being.

After three-plus years of committing to fully funding all aspects of the complex with NEMBA, the bike advocates are now looking for an off-ramp, asking for a taxpayer-funded handout, despite our city being in the midst of numerous financial crises. Could this have been a well-positioned strategy instigated by corporate NEMBA promoters to initially influence local officials on a “free” donation to the city, but without success now seeking help at the end? An analysis of Parks Commission meeting minutes over the years and all memoranda of understanding generated from the discussions with the city since 2021 demonstrate that the city only accepted the proposal on the condition of no cost to the city. As the old adage goes, when things seem too good to be true, they aren’t.

This charade needs to be aired publicly so that everyone — the public, city officials and media — can see what a deception it is at the expense of the people, true local democracy and the natural essence of Springside park that we all love.

Royal Hartigan, Pittsfield

I love Victor David Hanson. He is so intelligent
The Hollywood elites are calling for Biden to step aside from running, but they offer no choices of who they want to run. The elites were responsible for putting Biden in office and now want to remove him from having 4 more years. I agree that Biden doesn’t have 4 more years in him and shouldn’t be running. Biden has been barely present for the last 4 years. George Clooney says he loves Biden, but wants him gone from the ticket. The Hollywood elites giveth and then taketh away. They are completely out of touch with the working people in this country and really have no business being in politics at all except that they have lots of money and live like kings and queens and donate very generously to the politicians, mostly those on the left. There will be very little time to vet another candidate for the left and they surely hope that plays in their favor. Will this next candidate be for open borders and all of the rest of the far left Biden agenda? If the candidate is Kamala or Gavin Newsom or anyone on the far left, it will be the same policies as Biden. Kamala is already saying it’s racist and misogynist if she isn’t the one to replace Biden.

I think it says far more about the people in this country than it does about Trump that Americans would rather have two clearly unqualified people in office, Biden and Kamala, because too many Americans want one world globalist government which means open borders and lots of government control. That is what Joe, Kamala, and the far left are trying to achieve and Trump is standing in their way. When people give up on their own country like that, it spells doom for the survival of America.

I means sure numbers can be subjective but generally if a city can keep it under a bakers dozen annually they are considered to be doing OK.

Maybe this guy was a republican (RINO), but he was not a MAGA member.

This was a deep state assassination attempt on President Trump.

The SS, especially the President Protection Detail, DOES NOT make mistakes like that.

So many rally attendees are coming forward saying they and others saw the shooter on the roof lining up his first shot which was intended as a head shot for Trump. They were yelling at the police that were running around right near the building and telling them there is a gunman on the roof and he is getting ready to fire. Rally attendees even saw the shooter climbing up the side of the building and he clearly had a gun so it seems as though there would have been enough time to stop him since he still had to line up his shots. Then the shots rang out and President Trump was nearly killed. What was going on that there was a direct line of fire of only 300 feet from this building to Trump and nobody was watching that rooftop?

What was truly revealing (and scary at the same time) was that as the shooting started and people were screaming SHOOTER the 400 people sitting directly behind Trump were watching the secret service attend to him and they just sat there clueless as to their peril. Not one of them tried to avoid the potential danger they might be in. WHY?

Is it because they were in the MAGA Trump trance that they did not even try to protect their own lives? Goes to show just how much their minds are controlled by him huh?

Ya gotta watch the video on this man. Every other place I have seen where a gunman was shooting, people were hell bent on getting out of there as fast as they could, even trampling each other. Not these peeps though. Why?

Wondering if all the left leaning media outlets, including the hate rag of the Berkshires, will be charged for inciting the 20 year old who just shot at a former President? Would this mean they could also go after TSC, Snarky, JM. Mr Worlwide ect for all the hate that they have spewed towards the former President? Maybe go after all the money, just like they did with Jones after Sandy Creek….seems MANBC, CNN, NPR could be ripe to sue

The guy spews hate and vitriol at every rally he has ever done and you are surprised that some people do not like him? Trump has elevated hate in America to a new level and you know it. And he does it intentionally over and over and over.

And if God was protecting trump, why did he allow the guy to get on the roof with a gun in the first place?

You might be best to leave off twisting reality and change your moniker to Charlie Clueless.

The 21.5-years in Boston career politician (and double dipper Lenox Town Manager) Smitty Pignatelli has been consistently and excessively publicly criticizing Governor Maura Healey’s 1.5-year brief tenure, but on Wednesday evening, 07/17/2024, he is going to introduce her at a fundraising Gala.

I wonder which Smitty will show up? Will it be the Smitty Pignatelli who has been throwing her under the bus over and over again? Or, will it be the Smitty Pignatelli who will shower her with glowing praises?

Oh, by the way, Smitty, every time that you have blamed Governor Maura Healey in the news media, I have apprised her of your harsh words of blame instead of Smitty looking at himself in the proverbial mirror of his a little over 2 decades of failed leadership in Boston.

Americans just witnessed elements within our government attempt a political assassination.

The cops and SS-snipers knew where the maggot was on the roof, and the counter-snipers held fire until he got shots off at Trump. Then they killed him.

Here’s the video, they wait until TRump is shot

This was a school shooting done at a political rally by a pimple faced nerd who couldn’t get laid in high school, had no friends, was bullied his whole life, had a meaningless dead end job. Wasn’t a big leftist conspiracy. So all you saying arm the teachers will stop school shootings, how’s that work when the supposed greatest security force can’t stop a 20 year old with a rifle. If this kid didn’t choose this venue he probably would have shot up a classroom, concert, or grocery store. The only victim here is the fire chief who was killed. I heard tRump is cutting the suit jacket he was wearing into thousands of pieces and selling them for 5 grand a pop.

And that is why Marchetti and White are building a $40 million dollar ball park so that his constituents can get some tax relief. He refused publicly to cut the budget in any meaningful fashion and that is his way of giving two middle fingers to his city. He believes in the distribution of wealth from the lesser haves to those who do not even need more.
There is a special place in hell for people who mistreat and use their power to take advantage of others.
