PLANET VALENTI NEWS AND COMMENTARY

(FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE, VETERAN’S DAY 2024) — We called it.

Early.

Donald Trump’s overwhelming win, taking both the electoral and popular votes, shows you have to listen to THE PLANET. Relying on any other local media, you would have believed that Kamalakazee was going to take down Bad Orange Man (BOM). Instead, we saw o-BOM-a obliterate and humiliate Harris.

The election represented the nation’s definitive repudiation of woke-ism, a rampant, potentially fatal cultural cancer that blossomed during COVID then jumped the rails. The screeching banshees of the hard-left minority hijacked the Democrat Party and President Joe Biden didn’t have the spine to reel them in. Instead, he caved. That’s the moment the Democrats showed they were out of touch with the American people.

Trump won on common sense politics. Harris lost on identity politics. Common Sense prevailed over “Culture” after one of the most disastrous four-year presidencies in the history of the republic.

Trump showed gravitas and leadership. He ducked no challenges. In the 107 days that Harris opposed him (rather than Biden), Trump held daily press availabilities and six formal press conferences. He spent about one-third of what she spent. Harris, on the other hand, demonstrated vapidity and cowardliness. She held no press conferences and avoided hardball interviews. She raised more than $1 billion, yet somehow her campaign ended up $20 million in debt. Expect an audit and criminal charges.

Trump pressed ahead despite two impeachments, a flurry of phony litigation, demonization by the mainstream media, an FBI raid on his home, two assassination attempts, and moves to keep him off the ballot. Having faced no opposition, Harris never competed. She didn’t enter one primary and didn’t earn one vote or delegate. She had the nomination handed to her, the season’s great example of DEI–Didn’t Earn It.

———- ooo ———-

Typical Kamala supporter gets a dose of reality.

Trump campaigned on

  • economic reform
  • tax cuts
  • elimination of wasteful spending
  • restoring America’s borders
  • deporting criminal aliens
  • strengthening the military
  • kicking males out of women’s sports
  • powerful foreign relations
  • tapping the nation’s gas and oil reserves
  • and many other issues that resonated with the middle- and working-class electorate. Trump knew something’s out of whack when $25 worth of groceries cost $100 and eating at McDonald’s cost $20.

Kamala’s issues:

  • personal pronouns
  • 27 different genders
  • transgenderism
  • DEI racism
  • sexism
  • men in girls’ sports
  • tampons in bathrooms
  • defunding the police
  • weakening the military
  • no foreign policy
  • banning fossil fuels
  • and all the other “crucial matters” of hard-left cultural nonsense.

Turn on the lights, the part’s starting.

Mary Jane and Joe Kapanski didn’t give a lick about such effete, arrogant blather. Those who fell for the giant hoax Harris perpetrated, a decided minority, NEVER GOT IT. Her fair-weather backers refused to see reality, things as they are and not as they wish them to be.

Kamala signed her own death warrant on, of all places, The View, that friendliest of all shrill places. During an interview softer than the Pillsbury Doughboy, she was asked what she would change from Biden’s policies: “Not a thing comes to mind.”

Time to cue the “Uh-Oh Lady.”

———- ooo ———-

Now THE PLANET and the rest of America understands why the Democrats chose their 2020 approach to “winning” the election: Don’t campaign. It’s like when on Seinfeld, Jerry and George try to pitch a show about nothing. It worked in 2020 with a senile Joe Biden because of a hoax known as COVID. This time, after dumping Biden, The Handlers kept Kamala away from the media–not one press conference in her 107 days … only interviews with “fawning” la-las.

When Kamala did speak, all we heard were melodious cliches, bromides, generalities, gibberish, those infamous “word salads.” Common-Sense America also was put off by her different accents: southern accent in the South, baptist-preacher accent when in churches, ebonics when in the hood, Valley Girl when in the ‘burbs.

We saw, America, a phony.

We saw, America, a lightweight in WAY over her had.

In contrast, Trump never hid who he was. He gave us the authenticity of Self, alternately loud, boorish, self-aggrandizing, arrogant, boastful, exaggerated, dramatic, humorous, insightful, down to earth, and riffing like a jazz saxophonist.

The Politics of Joy morphed into the Politics of Cloy. Her “New Way Forward” became “Four Years Back.”

Trump’s pounding of The Loon Left stood in bas relief to the insanity of the Harris-Biden years. Result? Not only winning electorally in a landslide and taking the popular vote with the largest total ever given to a Republican candidate but also flipping the Senate and likely retaining the House.

As of this writing, Republicans had secured 213 House seats to the Dems 205, with 17 seats still being counted. Latest tabulations show the GOP ahead in nine of those races to the Dems’ eight. If that holds, the Republicans would win the House, 222-213. The House magic number is 218.

Mandate Trump.

Thumbs are up at THE PLANET news desk

The bad news for residents of the Blue, Blew Commonwealth of Massachusetts, given our “leadership.” We have a “pronoun” governor, a “gender” house and a DEI Senate. Federal funds will dry up, all because our “leaders” choose to support arrogant, out-of-touch non-issues while ignoring grass-roots, working-class concerns.

Just take one look at the pathetic “representatives” Berkshire County is sending to the General Court in Boston. What we have is a set of people scraped from the bottom of the Loon barrel. They will arrive to their back benches in Boston, kiss the hairy asses of the “leadership,” and continue to lead the Berkshires into More-Of-The-Fuck-Us-Same.

Not good enough.

———- ooo ———-

Ah, but that’s for another day. Presently, THE PLANET joins the majority of Americans who celebrate the Return of Common Sense. President-elect Trump made history by demonstrating the determination and resolve that made America great, and he’s wasting no time. Yeah, Trump “hates women.” Yeah, that’s why he selected the brilliant Susie Wiles as his chief of staff. Wiles becomes the first woman ever named to the post.

Meanwhile, angry Democrats continue to eat their own trying to figure out what went wrong. You see, they’re too ideologically “correct” not to understand the simple equation of Common Sense = Votes. That math doesn’t work in states that have lost touch, such as Massachusetts and California, but with the VAST swath of America, it adds up perfectly.

Many years from now, this tale will be told, how one American refused to surrender, and how one country breathed their last pocket of breath on one long political quiver.

Godspeed, President-elect Trump.

Godspeed, The United States of America. We can think of no greater gift on this Veteran’s Day. It’s the gift, not of a guarantee, but a fighting chance.

THE PLANET had you all the way.

The Planet (Dan) is a perfect encapsulation of what real journalism should be like !Dan’s coverage of the election cycle which started with the selection of Biden almost four years ago to present was accurate and on point. Most of the others around here in the Berkshires are not journalists, they’re activists. And they have left no doubt of that activism with the same coverage of it.

Donald Trump: (a) is convicted of 34 felonies; (b) is a moral hypocrite who cheated on all of his 3 wives, as well as paid hush money to keep his love affairs with his mistresses secret; (c) was caught on a hot mic saying that he likes to grab women by their [genitals]; (d) was impeached, but never convicted, twice by U.S. Congress; (e) was found guilty in two civil lawsuits whereby he owes huge sums of money; (f) was investigated for allegedly illegally having in his private possession classified government documents – (Note: Hillary Clinton took her government server home, connected it to an non-secure internet, bleached her hard drive, destroyed cellphones; Joe Biden had classified government documents in his 2 Delaware homes and library); (g) refuses to release his federal tax returns allegedly because he allegedly doesn’t pay – in part or in whole – federal taxes; (h) declared business bankruptcies multiple times; (i) is said to have alleged financial ties to banks in Germany that are connected to Putin’s Russia; (j) appointed Supreme Court Justices who overturned Roe, which led to increased medical emergencies and deaths of mothers and newborn babies – but he is supposedly pro-life?; (k) promotes political retribution and plans to persecute innocent people who are opposed to his authoritarian-style of so-called leadership; (l) plans to increase greenhouse gas emissions at home and abroad – because he is a big bag of hot air; (m) likes to use the MAGA tagline that is understood to mean Nazi, alt-right, as well as called hate groups and their protesters in Charlottesville, Virginia, “fine people on both sides”; (n) employs far right political operatives in his campaign and administration(s), including Steve Bannon; (o) uses harsh language to intimidate people from dissenting against his strong-man rule; (p) plans to spend huge amounts of federal tax dollars on mass deportations (without saying where the federal dollars will come from); (q) plans to pass into federal law the single largest tax cut in U.S. history that will cause trillions of dollars in federal budget deficits over the next 4 years; (r) added and will add many trillions of dollars to the U.S.’s $36 trillion national debt; (s) pretends to be for the working-class, but that has not been a reality for common people for over 50 years now, as most of the net gain in income has gone to the super rich since the early- to mid-1970’s; (t) spends most of his days watching the news on cable television, drinking Diet Cokes, and golfing instead of working, but he has never really worked an honest day in his 78-year-old life; (u) demands absolute loyalty from people, but then he throws them under the bus; (v) is a divisive politician who uses cultural conflict and violence for his own gain; (w) is a trust fund baby whose late-father was worth over $300 million in the late 1990’s (not adjusted for inflation in the Autumn 2024), but then he does a photo op at the French Fry unit at McDonald’s; (x) his real estate businesses have a history of alleged racist discrimination against minorities, especially black people; (y) his niece, Dr. Mary Trump, Psychologist, warns us about Donald Trump’s alleged mental health disorders, and she says that her uncle is a dangerous man; (z) Donald Trump is said to admire the EVIL Adolf Hitler.

JM happy belated Veteran’s Day. I will just comment that you are not bullied here just given critical feedback. Like in the post above you have neglected the attack by the judicial system against an opponent which is now called Lawfare. These are the tactics used by Democrats which resemble the tactics of Nazi’s. These were not the tactics used by Republicans nor MAGA. Also the violence before the 2020 elections again were started by Democrats backed by Harris and Pelosi. I know you will bring up J6 but that again was started and staged by the Democrats and Pelosi. So I do have to correct your twisted view in the political thoughts you have that are obviously from being brainwashed. Another thing to mention you now live in the upper middle class town in NH and not the Pitts nor MA so you may want to focus on how well their government is run with the Republicans mostly in charge.

RINO McConnell is not done yet.

Calling for a secret ballot Wednesday for Senate majority leader, with two fellow RINOs on the ballot.

POTUS Trump is endorsing Rick Scott.

More on Mitch:

“It was not an easy run for Kari Lake and several other Republicans.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell did not share any donations with Kari Lake, Texas Senator Ted Cruz, or Florida Senator Rick Scott.

Instead, McConnell blew millions on Trump-hater Larry Hogan who was wiped out in Maryland. Mitch McConnell is not on our side.

Then, last week, McConnell called for a closed-door secret leadership vote for Senate Republicans this coming Wednesday.” -TGP

This is why so many voters hate their representation.

They really don’t care what you think. They believe they know better than you.

Elon Musk, Robert Kennedy, Jr., and Republican voters are calling for Republican Senators to vote for Senator Rick Scott for Senate Majority Leader.

Rick Scott is the logical choice to lead the Senate Republicans. He just blew out his Democrat opponent in Florida by 12+ points.

But the Senate Republicans have a long history of sh*tting on their voters. Senate Republicans overwhelmingly supported the Ukraine War, a lost war, despite the dangers of an escalation.

Senate Republicans gladly voted to hand over billions to the Ukraine cause – taxpayer dollars that were never audited, by the way.
Republican Senators REFUSED to fund the Trump border wall during President Trump’s first term! But, again, they gladly send tens of billions to Ukraine. Senate Republicans stalled Trump’s MAGA agenda.

Hello blogger Dan Valenti,

The 2-Pete’s Pittsfield politics will charge the median city residential property owner: $4,601.61 in fiscal year 2025. The fiscal figure does NOT include city fees.

Pittsfield spends tens of millions of dollars more per fiscal year than similar sized postindustrial small cities, such as Westfield, Massachusetts.

There will be a City Council meeting on Tuesday, November 12th, 2024, at 6pm, whereby city taxpayers may speak at the open mic.

If I lived in my native hometown of Pittsfield, Massachusetts, I would ask the 2-Pete’s and City Council why does Pittsfield’s city government and (level 5) public school system cost city taxpayers tens of millions of dollars more per fiscal year than similar small cities?

I would ask them why Pittsfield’s financial management policies have been predictably the same for over 40 years now since the early-1980’s whereby the city always increases its spending by at least 5 percent (or higher) per fiscal year.

I would ask them why they are not changing any of this because tens of millions of dollars in additional city spending per fiscal year will add up to hundreds of millions of dollars in additional city spending over future generations. I would tell them that Pittsfield’s city spending is unsustainable over the long-term.

I would tell them that Pittsfield’s tax and spend policies boil down to the city government taking over $5,000 per fiscal year 2025 from senior citizen city taxpayers who are already financially constrained.

I would tell them that it was WRONG when the Mayor Peter Marchetti administration settled Nuciforo’s pot lawsuit earlier this calendar year 2024 whereby “Luciforo: Pittsfield’s Pot King (of lawsuits)” ended up with $341,000 in city “FREE CASH”, and that Andrea Francesco Nuciforo Junior is already a millionaire who lives in his $950,000 mansion in Pittsfield’s elitist Gated Community west of Berkshire Community College.

In closing, I give the 2-Pete’s Pittsfield politics, as well as Nuciforo, 2 middle fingers, in defense of the exploited city taxpayers. They are all HORRIBLE politicians and a pot king!

Cant raise the taxes due to prop 2-1/2- so now its fines and fees….
Rinse and repeat….

They will raise evaluations next year , to provide more assets for politicians to exploit and steal.

Look for trump to investigate pittsfield ( taconic ) for grant fraud – grant was to increase trade school- which is 1/2 the size, in footprint and enrollment – good luck with that Pete Pete- 800 million shortfall- bond revocation and receivership.

Dan, could you please investigate this situation. I have a very reliable source that says Marchetti was presented a plan for redevelopment of Wahconah park that involved the privatization of the facility. The plan involved a corporate sponsor or sponsors funding the repair and improvement of the park. Marchetti flatly refused such an idea without consulting the public or the council. Also, the idea was presented to Pership and he never responded. This plan would have eliminated the need of public funding in excess of 30 million dollars for the rehab. Why did Marchetti not consider this? Unfortunately it looks like the residents will end up footing the bill.

Even after looking at the voting map of the US where 80% of the land mass voted republican the Hate Rag of the Berkshires and the typical writers they have, both professional(???) and letters to the editor writers, still can’t leave their brainwashed hatred. Why can’t they see the 4 years of illegitimate were the worse 4 years America has seen in a very long time, probably would have to go back to 1783 for a comparison. I guess that is why this is considered the land of the PITTS, we love all garbage especially with our politicians! When will the state start saving the taxpayers money instead of blowing it on all the crack fueled ideas they come up with in the legislature? Let’s say NO to the East-West Chinese Choo Choo that no one will ever ride for full price of what it should cost because you know the taxpayer will fund it just like the T in Boston! Let’s say NO to this solar panel invasion from China! Let’s get away from 1 party rule and while were at it let’s have voter ID’s and one day voting and counting!!
As for the council meeting tonight I feel the best idea would be to keep the taxes at their current rate and pay down as much of our debt as possible so the next generation is screwed by all the mistakes of the prior years. Maybe they could pass a balanced budget proposal where they only spend what they have, no more new debt!

AOC was shocked to find that people who voted for her also voted for Trump in large numbers. So unlike the rest of the far left who is putting down Trump voters and telling people to distance themselves from them, AOC is in the strange position of being unable to do that without insulting her own voters. She actually was asking her voters to tell her why they voted for her and Trump. “You both seem real”. “You are both outsiders compared to the rest of the establishment”. People had interesting and even some strange answers. See the attached article, but maybe AOC won’t be able to go crazy on the illegal immigrant deportations because her own voters support it.

Hello blogger Dan Valenti,

Here is the proof that the 2-Pete’s Pittsfield politics predictably did NOT change the city government’s excessive tax and spend municipal financial management.

The fictional Mary Jane & Joe Kapanski are paying 7.17 percent more on their property tax bill than the previous fiscal year. The average fiscal year 2025 residential property tax bill is close to $5,300.00, which does not include city fees.

Pittsfield’s plan is the same old one that now takes over $6,000.00 per fiscal year from senior citizens who live on a fixed income and face severe financial constraints.

Pittsfield’s excessive tax and spend municipal finances cost tens of millions of dollars per fiscal year more than similar small postindustrial cities, such as Westfield. I do not understand how and why this is happening, other than all of the failed mayoral administrations that are sarcastically called: (the late) Bar-stool, Aberration, Rolodex, Montello, Gated Community, and Openly Gay 90-day grace period.

Best wishes,

Jonathan A. Melle

“The Pittsfield City Council set a lower property tax rate, but the average bill is going up thanks to increased property value”
By Greg Sukiennik, The Berkshire Eagle, November 12, 2024

PITTSFIELD — The average residential property tax bill for fiscal 2025 will increase 7.17 percent over the previous year under tax rates set by the City Council on Tuesday night. 

That’s despite setting a tax rate 51 cents per $1,000 less than last year for most of the city’s property owners. 

While the rates went down, the value of city properties, based on real estate sales, increased — eating up whatever savings most taxpayers may have realized from the lower rate.  

Following a public hearing, with questions asked of the city Board of Assessors and finance director, the council unanimously set rates of $17.94 per $1,000 of valuation for residential property and $37.96 per $1,000 for commercial and personal property. 

Those rates are subsidized by $2.5 million in free cash, as voted by the council in setting the fiscal 2025 budget. 

In fiscal 2024, the tax rates were $18.45 per $1,000 for residential property and $39.61 per $1,000 for commercial and personal property. 

According to the Board of Assessors, the average residential home valuation for fiscal 2025 is $295,291 — an increase of 10.21 percent over a year ago. During her presentation to the Council, board chair Laura Catalano offered a photo of a 1,250 square foot ranch home on the city’s southeast side as an example of that average residence. 

At the rate approved by the council, the taxes for that average property will be $5,297.52.

In fiscal 2024, the average residential property was worth $267,914, and the average bill was $4,943.01.

According to Catalano, 568 residential properties bills will decrease; 1,467 will increase less than $100; 3,777 will increase less than the average of 7.17 percent; and 5,294 will increase more than that average.

Councilors, while praising the efforts made by Mayor Peter Marchetti’s administration to minimize the property tax impact for fiscal 2025 through its municipal budget, said there’s more work to do in the year ahead.

Councilor Kathy Amuso, who a year ago led the charge to reduce the city’s tax impact, noted that although the city’s rate went down, the appraisal values continued to increase, as they have throughout the region. 

“There are still some people that are going to get a significant tax bill,” Amuso said. “I do think we worked hard and worked hard with mayor and his team and the school side. … I just think going forward we have to do the same to be as fiscally responsible as we can.”

Councilors posed questions on behalf of constituents, asking what would happen if the city did not set a tax rate by Dec. 31, and what would happen if it set a lower rate than what was presented.

Matthew Kerwood, the city’s finance director, said failure to set a tax rate in a timely fashion would lead to cash shortages down the road, and borrowing that would cost the city interest.

Cutting the rate would mean cutting the budget, Marchetti said. “Since it’s halfway through the year it would mean double the amount of cuts,” he said. 

Councilor Kenneth Warren Jr., while also praising Marchetti’s administration, said he could only give city government a “B-minus” for its work in controlling tax growth. “This is not an indictment of the current administration or the City Council. This is where we find ourselves,” he said. 

Given the increases in appraised value, Councilor Alisa Costa asked what residents can do if they want to challenge those values. Catalano and Kerwood said that the appeal window starts when bills are sent out, and continues for 30 days. And Catalano noted there are several abatement programs for senior citizens, if they meet certain requirements. 

“When you file an abatement be specific why your house is overvalued to justify the fact value is too high,” Kerwood said. “Putting down ‘The taxes are too high’ is not a justification for an abatement.”

The commercial and personal property rate of $37.96 is $1.65 less than it was in fiscal 2024. According to the Board of Assessors, at the median property valuation of $224,250, the bill would be $8,512.53. That’s a 1.61 percent increase over fiscal 2024. 

Every year, the city shifts a percentage of its tax burden onto commercial and personal property. If the city used a single tax rate, it would come out to $21.69 per $1,000 for all taxpayers.  

Overall, the city has a property valuation of $5.27 billion — up from $4.82 billion in fiscal 2024.

Even if they don’t reenlist him, they’ll still try him under the UCMJ (military justice) and not the federal statutes he violated.

For those unfamiliar with the military, the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) is no joke.

Millie, when he’s found guilty of treason and other UCMJ violations for breaking the chain of command, he will be stripped of his rank down to E-1 private (for humiliation reasons), he’ll lose his pension, and he’ll more than likely spend the rest of his life in Leavenworth Military Barracks (prison).

As I have said a couple of times already, I am disappointed that Harris lost, and am sad to see that the majority of Americans have sided with the MAGA/Trump cohort. I am also disappointed that so many of my posts were censored before Trump’s victory. I guess those posts just didn’t give enough support to the party line. 

I am sorry to see that all the right wing bloggers on this site fail to lower their blinders and recognize Harris’ copious talents – it is amazing to me that such an obviously talented individual is described by you folks in such deprecating and despicable terms. Gee – I wonder why that is…

The good news is that the landslide victory was so one-sided, as it leaves no doubt what the mandate from the citizenry is. So now the ball is in your collective court, and we’ll see just how successful you all and Orange Jesus are in solving our country’s problems. 

Like all the other alt-right websites, PV got it right, and is now fully within its element, its members having seized the agenda, reflecting the majority will of the US electorate. PV can now continue to freely push its anti-DEI, anti-LGBTQ message, secure in the knowledge that any PV voices supporting minority and gender rights will be few and far between.

Today, they worry about grade inflation (90% grades are btw a- and a+) and grade compression. Only in ivory tower stupidity: they fear too little opportunity by excluding c and b grades. A professor argues there that the fix to compression is to increase the number of A+.

ShirleyKnutz and Pat, I’d like to ask you a question, if the two of you are at all willing to answer. Whose evaluation of Kamala do you agree with, mine or Joetax/Markus?

My evaluation is that Kamala is an intelligent, well-spoken candidate who has good leadership qualities. 

The Joetax/Markus evaluation is that Kamala is a stupid idiot who is the most unqualified, incompetent candidate seen in one’s lifetime. 

Are you willing to say which evaluation you feel is closest to the truth?

I’m neither of the two, but I believe she is not stupid, proved by success in her life. Clearly she carved a diligent path. But she has absolutely nothing call herself. The best she could do in making her case was to do a talk show on a porn podcast. Not even softball, it was something anyone outside the deranged porn-class of sex identity voters would be embarrassed to watch.

She’s like the character in Satanic Verses – a man doing commercials – with a voice that can be a pea, a horse, a dog, a woman, a martian, and one thousand more things. But his body is the property of Satan and his soul is stuffed into a brick of wood waiting to come home.

She is a very dark person, demonic and cruel. She lost because African American men remember her tossing their numbers wholesale into prison for minor crime of marijuana possesion to elevate her career. That is an act that fits “caught with the stuff while being black.” She also lost because others have merely just witnessed her antics. Do you really think it is her cackling that grates? It is the fact that she has something to mock that does it for us.

When she plays a prosecutor in a debate, she sounds ok, but then I think of the crimes against humanity that she committed as a prosecutor.

Thanks. I just wanted to hear an admission that she’s not stupid, that’s all. Why? Because painting her as low IQ and stupid shows that Dan and company simply parrot Trump without providing their own evaluation.

“I just wanted to hear an admission that she’s not stupid, that’s all.”

I grant you that. G-dspeed, Ox.
