PLANET VALENTI NEWS AND COMMENTARY

ADD 1, 11/16 p.m. — During Thursday through Saturday 7:30 p.m., THE PLANET‘s IT people did some work backstage to upgrade certain platforms. If you experienced unusual delays in your posts making to publication (some did, some didn’t) it was due to this “homework.”

We constantly invest to keep the site current with the dizzying speed of today’s new AI internet. “Pretty impressive for a one-man band,” as one our the guys said. He meant caring this much technically but also the phenomenal output, in our 15th year and going strong.

We do it for YOU, We The People, Mary Jane and Joe Kapanski, The Little Guy. Thanks for your patience, cooperation, and understanding. THE PLANET gives you content of superb quality that you cannot get anywhere else, especially in local la-la media. Our systems are now back fully online.

———- ooo ———-

(FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE, THE WEEKEND EDITION, NOV. 15-7, 2024) — It’s both fun and sad to see delusional (translation: “woke”) Democrats anguishing over the election they just blew, starting with Queen Bee Nancy Pelosi. The 84-year-old prune was the one who teamed with the Obamas to dump Joe Biden from the ticket. She said Biden was too old.

After Pelosi, take our liberal loon governor, Ms. Healey, and the fake Indian senator, Ms. Warren … please. They have spewed nothing but hatred (translation: “the politics of joy”) toward the incoming Administration, thus securing for the citizens they represent nothing but hostile disregard from the White House. Good job, girls.

While the Dems wail and Ogden gnash their teeth, THE PLANET salutes President Biden for welcoming President-elect Trump to the Oval Office on Wednesday. The two men shook hands, with Biden assuring a smooth transition. Fact is, most Democrats, sagging under the weight of buyer’s remorse, realize Biden couldn’t have done any worse than the humiliation that Kamala Harris brought to ticket and party. Biden would have stood a much stronger chance of defeating Trump.

Biden and Trump don’t see eye to eye, but there isn’t the personal animus that you see from Harris toward Trump. The men in this case “get” the game of dirty national politics. They fight, beat each other up, and move forward. Harris, in contrast, acted like she was in a cat fight–high-pitched screeching, clawing, cackling, pulling hair, and spreading lies. She was in a Man’s Game, but she came into it with tampons and Tim.

And where is Harris lately? Guess the “politics of joy” were too much for this “flawless” candidate born on third, thinking she had hit a triple, only to get picked off by “The View.”

———- ooo ———-

Here in the Bay State, where Mary Jane and Joe Kapanski continue to be held hostage by out-of-touch government at the state and local levels (check the pathetic roster of Berkshire Country “reps”), the Democrats have one crown jewel, a man of courage and common sense. He’s House member Seth Moulton. He had the courage to say what needed to be said about boys competing in girl’s sports. Keep biological males the hell out of girl’s sports. The girls need to compete against their own and feel safe doing so.

—————————-

This state’s disproportionate attraction for the marginal issue of transgender rights, along with its $billion+ for grifting illegals over hard-working citizens, has pushed Massachusetts out of the national discussion.

—————————–

This state’s disproportionate attraction for the marginal issue of transgender rights, along with its $billion+ for grifting illegals over hard-working citizens, has pushed Massachusetts out of the national discussion. Trump will see to that. The Bay State Kapanskis will pay for it, just like they will pay for the upcoming 7.17% Bitchfield tax hike approved by an incautious mayor and a suck-up council.

Of course, the ideological idiots who have kidnapped the once-respectable Massachusetts Democrat Party had a collective conniption, demanding that Moulton apologize and resign. They have done everything in their aneurystic power to “cancel” the congressman. Moulton, in reply, not only refused to apologize but doubled down on the notion that boys identifying as girls, aka “transgenders,” should be nowhere near the latter’s playing fields. They also should be kept out of girls’ locker rooms and restrooms. Moulton said if certain snowflakes are “offended,” so be it.

Outstanding!

———- ooo ———-

THE PLANET is sure you’ve seen the billboards infecting Bitchfield: “I’m a _______________, and I carry Naloxone.”

  • “I’m a teacher, and I carry Naloxone.”
  • “I’m a doctor, and I carry Naloxone.”
  • “I’m a mother, and I carry Naloxone.”
  • “I’m a drug dealer, and I carry Naloxone.”
  • “I’m an illegal alien, and I carry Naloxone.”
  • “I’m a transgendered woman identifying as black, and I carry Naloxone.”

You get the idea. The marketing campaign suggests everyone should carry the “opioid antagonist.”

The question is, “Why?”

If someone wants to die and willingly takes the action to achieve this outcome, why should we stop them?

THE PLANET has a better idea. We just might take a few thousand from our book royalties and purchase billboards that read, “We believe in freedom and responsibility, and we DON’T carry Naloxone.

Why should we be guilt-tripped into carrying a substance that will bring a person back from the consequences of personal choice, only to keep spreading misery and the dealers in business?

Adults respect the ramifications of free choice.

Everyone owns themselves. We are responsible for the life we are given. The flip side of freedom is acceptance of responsibility. That includes bearing the consequences of choice.

Have a great weekend, everybody.

Liberal marxists believe their totalitarianism is different from Hitler’s, because, unlike der Fuhrer, they are morally right and only mean well for everyone. Their moral superiority justifies any action they believe necessary to implement their system.

Hello blogger Dan Valenti,

I am proud that Governor Maura Healey always stands up to Donald Trump. It is called DEMOCRACY! She has the federal and state constitutional rights to lead Massachusetts, NOT Donald Trump, who will lead the federal government in 2025 – 2028..

I am NOT proud that my native hometown of Pittsfield, Massachusetts, chose to take over $6,000.00 in fiscal year 2025 from the average property owner city tax and fee payer. I do NOT understand why Pittsfield costs tens of millions of dollars per fiscal year more than similar small postindustrial cities, such as Westfield.

The 2-Pete’s Pittsfield politics have demonstrated that they have NOT changed Pittsfield’s predictable pounding of people’s purses. The property tax increase of 7.17 percent, as well as the fees increases of 8 percent, hurt local taxpayers instead of helping them to get ahead.

Please do NOT forget that the Mayor Peter Marchetti settled Nuciforo’s pot fees lawsuit by giving Andrea Francesco Nuciforo Junior a city FREE CASH check of $341,000.00 earlier in calendar year 2024. Nuciforo is a millionaire who lives in a $950,000.00 mansion in Pittsfield’s elitist Gated Community west of Berkshire Community College.

Poor exploited city taxpayers who are the fictional Mary Jane and Joe Kapanski, who work hard and pay taxes in Pittsfield, Massachusetts!

Our local government is pathetic and so many of the pathetic ones were voted back in. Massachusetts citizens are out of touch with the rest of the country.

We should also have a giant billboard in Pittsfield congratulating Trump on his comeback win. When lots of AOC voters also voted for Trump, that says a lot about the faith that even many on the left have in Donald Trump.

Personal responsibility left the American Culture at the turn of this century. Unfortunately everyone has fallen into this trap so they can feel safe and cared for, this is why you hear everyone crying for free tuition, free/paid off loans, free phones, free food,etc… It is obvious no one since 2000 has taken economics where it states there is no such thing as a free lunch, meaning there is a cost that is paid for everything. Hopefully with education and common sense coming from the new administration maybe things can get back to common sense and less government interference. The next generation will be taught how to take care of themselves and to have a sense of community spirit to donate their time to make their community a great place to live. That is my wish for the new year!

With Trump’s recent landslide win, I’ve noticed The Planet has shed a few liberal-loon posters recently, like a bad case of fleas.

Let’s take a look at a few of those (self) purged:

**Ox-gave one last underhanded comment about Kammy not getting elected because we (MAGA) are racist. Ox could never (or would never) answer when I asked for any success stories from (D)idn’t (E)arn (I)t hires, or why he got his thong in a wad when I asked that question.

Of course, when I posted the link from the Sacramento Bee congratulating her on being the “first Indian American woman” elected to congress and asked Ox what race Kammy truly is, he/she/it went radio silent as I expected.

**Snark-is it time to take post Snark’s pic on a milk carton as “Missing?”

**Larry Bird-Snark used to say you “hit the winning shot” with your left-loon posts, what happened? Did you get benched? Cut? Banished to the G-League?

**TSC-possibly locked up in Jones III or rehabbing from a serious alcohol and “fenty” problem. Best of luck getting clean and sober.

**Mr. Worldwide-he could clean up a Cumby’s parking lot of riff raff that his own wife helped bring into Picklefield, but his political advice and posts were as worthy, thought provoking, and needed, as Linda “Flat” Tyer’s current $100k a year job at BCC is.

**Kindergarden-personally my favorite lib-loon poster on here. A former self-proclaimed college professor who was not used to getting push back from others. He also claimed to be a former intelligence officer, who had his “intelligence sources” telling him Trump would get sentenced to Prison. I never asked him if those “sources” were Peter Strzok and/or Lisa Page.

I might have missed a name or two, but these were the most prominent left-loon posters from recently.

JM is the only one left standing. The rest of them left him standing alone in the rain, waiting for the short bus to arrive.

Markus, I’m always amazed at the inaccuracy of your posts about me. Ya just make things up about me over time. I never called you guys racist. You inferred that yourself. My meaning was to imply that you believe what you do about Kamala because Trump said so. I told you that and you forgot…again. I’m glad you like Kindergarden because he and I are the same person.

Healey and leadership shouldn’t continue any more financial policies that support the state’s illegal immigration law breaking population In  2024,  Healey spent millions in taxpayers funds for social services programs along with other kinds of aid for illegals, which makes no financial sense. Her continued support for illegal immigrants at taxpayers expense in Mass is just nuts. Healey needs to put the state’s taxpayers money to better use for legal citizens period. It’s her fault along with local leaders across Mass that we are being overtaxed in every way possible way including every F’N new fee they can think of.

No, JM, once again you have this all WRONG. Let me explain it to you.

Shredding federal documents without authorization is ILLEGAL.

A “moral hypocrite” is a person who calls another man’s wife “lovely.”

He types it from a computer, while sitting in his basement and is certainly not man enough to say it to the married man’s face because he knows he’d get his a$$ whipped if he did-a “moral hypocrite.”

Early 2000’s, “the lovely” Tricia Farley-Country Buffet (d-illegal aliens) was married at that time. TFCB was JM’s original “the lovely,” up until she blocked his emails.

Mid 2010’s, “the lovely” Linda “Flat” Tire, is currently married.

Off topic, but why not give the carousel as a gift to the museum and use the profits from the sale of our Rockwell’s to maintain it?
Several years ago there was talk about trying to do some economic development of the blocks between Big y, West Housatonic Street and South Street.
Turn Church Street into a pedestrian Mall, line it with a candy shop, a souvenir shop and a cafe,throw in an ice cream vendor.—- I know this is beginning to sound like that song Saturday in the Park.
Especially because the garage attached to the Holiday inn is now condemned all that parking at TD Bank is now really prime real estate and just like banks out their names on stadiums they could put their name on the parking lot because there’s no parking for families going to the museum and the carousel.
Just another Pittsfield pipe dream without a pipe here…

My moniker must have got crossed up with Oxymoron because it got lost in the “system” or atmosphere of the new Gore created internet. Anyways this morning I am hoping with RFK at the helm he gets rid of government run insurance. Since Obamacare started many hospitals, private practices and nursing homes have gone bankrupt. This in a time when the population in Massachusetts and the country is getting older and in a need for higher level of care. The state should at least take the 1 to 2 billion it is spending on the illegals and their choo choo train dreams and put it into helping the taxpaying population stay healthy and have a place to receive care when needed!

Shirley, that’s only part of the story though. The independent living facility where my mom lives can’t get new residents, and now wants to become affordable housing.
These places understand that their value is not in housing the elderly or even housing per se but they do understand that the real value of these places is the land underneath them so they do not do the marketing work to replace their populations and then claim bankruptcy when the census gets too low for their rents to support the services

Unfortunately the cost of running a senior living center like Sweetwood or Devonshire cost more than people make per month. This is the reason they can not fill the apartments. The marketers are out trying to fill them but this is a poor area and the residents can’t afford the cost.

Pittsfield will soon be giving out fines if you don’t follow the new garbage rules in the city. First a notice then you will be fined. How much? Nobody knows. This is a great example of government out of control right here in Pittsfield, MA. They are so happy people are recycling, but the city and Casella need money and fines are one way to do it. If you don’t close your container all the way and have a tiny bit of garbage peeking out….that will be a fine. If you accidentally throw plastic into paper recyclables…another fine. If you have trouble paying your fee for an extra garbage toter in this inflation ridden economy…..another fine. Give government too much power and this is the result. I didn’t see this article about garbage fines in the Berkshire Eagle.

Two others are easy to beat. Watch a few hearings and you will have your campaign platform.that is the engine that runs half the city’s budget and impacts every family and school staff.

Probably more important than the council.

I agree especially with their new dream to rip families apart while polluting the city driving school buses all over the city. Instead of using the neighbor school method they want to have schools by grade, This will mean they will have to transport kids all over town depending on what grade they are and where they live. Where does this even make sense?? I can understand closing schools due to a decrease in the student population but not transporting them all over town, just asking for accidents and issues along with making our air dirtier.

The Carousel is unique
And now it’s oblique
It initially had good intentions
But dirt bags ruined it’s conception.
Now it’s a fundamental quagmire
Because cash is gonna be slashed
But that’s what we do here
We fund feel good trash
So let’s take the Carousel
And send it on its way
A playground for the homeless
Is there any other way

Hello blogger Dan Valenti,

I agree that Matt Kerwood “Kufflinks” and Mayor Peter Marchetti “Pee Pee” and his mini-me Pete White “Voltron the Pork-Chop’s” insidious municipal budget and tax rate and fee increases are a BIG burden to Pittsfield’s taxpayers. Moreover, next year’s Pittsfield politics’ pounding of people’s purses will crush the financial life out of Pittsfield’s working-class and middle-class 50 years diminishing population.

Why does Pittsfield’s fiscal year operating budget cost tens of millions of dollars more per fiscal year than similar small postindustrial cities? Answer: CORRUPTION! See the disgraced Nuciforo’s money-grab:

Why did the 2-Pete’s Pittsfield politics settle Nuciforo’s pot permits lawsuit versus the City of Pittsfield by giving Andrea Francesco Nuciforo Junior a city FREE CASH settlement of $341,000 earlier this year in calendar year 2024?

Nuciforo is a millionaire who lives in his $950,000 mansion in Pittsfield’s elitist Gated Community west of Berkshire Community College, but most of Pittsfield’s otherwise financial fools are struggling to make end’s meat.

Mayor “Pee Pee” will collect his 6-figure city public pension plus perks in his Golden Years, “Kufflinks” will do the same, “Voltron the Pork-Chop” will try to do the same, “Luciforo” will continue to rake in his millions of dollars as Pittsfield’s Pot King (of lawsuits), while the fictional Mary Jane and Joe Kapanski hard-working-class family who is stuck living in the PITTS – along with Jon Melle, who lives around 100 miles northeast of Pittsfield – will always and forever be giving “Pee Pee”, “Kufflinks”, “Voltron the Pork-Chop”, and my enemy #1 “Luciforo” not one, but TWO MIDDLE FINGERS!

I am honored that my no-good relative Peter Marchetti blocks my political emails because it shows me that “Pee Pee” is conning Pittsfield’s taxpayers of our CORRUPT native hometown – Pittsfield, Massachusetts – that has a distressed and very unequal economy that I know all too well through years of pain in my adult life.

Project 25 is at hand and you snowflakes wont like the result.

Are you writing to us that the Orange Jesus is NOT the real Jesus?

We must be SHOCKED, SHOCKED that the 78-year-old Donald Trump and his spineless Republican Party are really sex perv’s, have a minimum of 3 wives a piece, pay their mistresses hush money, preach their moral hypocrisy to the masses, serve the wealthy and powerful elites with historically huge federal tax cuts, make false promises to help the common people who have been falling behind for over 5 decades now, call us non-believers of the MAGA (equals Nazi) propaganda horrible names, wants to abolish the U.S. Dept. of Education, wants Big Oil to run the U.S. Dept. of Energy and EPA, loves authoritarian dictators, especially oil and natural gas rich Saudi Arabia, promises peace around the World by pasting Wings of Pigs to make them fly over the Swamp, and are promising to persecute illegal immigrant families and dish out retribution to their so-called political enemies.

Wait just one minute. The Orange Jesus sounds NOTHING like the real Jesus!

Hi Jon,
Well of course President Orange Jesus sounds NOTHING like the real Jesus!

People like Trapper and Trump do not ask WWJD, they just do as they please and then ask for forgiveness afterwards. Pretty easy and simple life!

You are right CC Prez Pete these MAGA fools will regret Project 2025 when Trump gets in office. Why are Mayor Pete and Jonathan fighting is it because Mayor Pete doesn’t like you two guys getting that close?

Staging an emergency that would prevent Trump from taking office. If that’s what is unfolding the miliary has a duty to arrest the Democrats in the coming hours and install the elected President.
