SOCHOL COMMITTEE MEETS TONIGHT AT 6 P.M. IN COUNCIL CHAMBERS … SC’s NO. 1 HIT, ‘I WANNA HOLD YOUR SCANDAL’ STILL TOP THE CHARTS
BY DAN VALENTI
PLANET VALENTI NEWS AND COMMENTARY
(FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE WEDNESDAY JAN. 14, 2026) — This evening, Bitchfield citizens will be serenaded by the dulcet sounds of the city’s Sochol Committee, whose No. 1 hit “I Wanna Hold Your Scandal” still tops the charts of this $125 million exercise in educational futility. This hullaballoo will be the new SC’s first regular meeting of the calendar year.
You’ll recall at the initiating session, the board “elected” Mayor Lumpy, also known in civilian life as Peter Marchetti, its chair. They’d have been better off choosing Lumpy for the walls or even the ceiling. The floor in council chambers, where today’s meeting will be at 6 p.m., has too many scuff marks.
To provide the appearances of legitimacy, newcomer Sara Muir, who gaveled the inaugural outing, received a nomination for chair. She promptly delivered her lines, having done a fine job of memorizing, and declined. She said she didn’t feel ready. Reasonable. Muir then nominated Lumpy. Unreasonable. The mayor should not be a member of this committee.
The constituting documents of the city specify three coequal governing boards: the corner office, city council, and SC. The first of these puts together a budget for the entire muni operation. To give the mayor power of the school budget represents a moral conflict of interest.
———- ooo ———-
The mayor is an ex officio member. Dusting off THE PLANET‘s 9th-grade Latin, ex officio designates an appointment only because the person holds another office. It has nothing to do necessarily with qualifications. Given his mismanagement through obfuscation, Lumpy is clearly unsuited to be ON the SC let alone chair of it. At best (worst?), he or she should be a non-voting member only.
How did Lumpy’s ascension to the throne occur?
Simple. Through that shop-worn Bitchfield device known as an Open Meeting Law violation. Word has it that Lumpy met secretly with three other members (making four in total … a violation). A school department source tells THE PLANET they were Muil, Lady Boots Yon, and a third. Speaking of Lady Boots, she’s many moons past her expiration date. Gumming her words in that inaugural session, she spoke in a barely audible, gravely croak that would tax the hearing of the Greater Wax Moth. She’s obviously on the dais to give Lumpy via mumbles a pocketed vote.
———- ooo ———-
If word of the secret meeting is true, then we have another sham, a classic orchestration likely designed to keep lid on a steaming mountain of departmental corruption. One gets the feeling that the recent scandals represent only the tip of a Titanic-sized iceberg. Could that also be why the outgoing SC made sure to put in as acting superintendent Queen Latifah Philips?
Newcomer Ciara Batory, who moments after being sworn in and seated called for the committee to release the (ahem) “independent” report on the school department’s recent game of footsie. You’ll recall that the Administration put severe pressure on the school board to keep Mary Jane and Joe Kapanski in the dark about the report. Even though the report would be redacted. Even though it would also in all probability be a whitewash. And yet …
… and yet, Lumpy and Co., still tiptoe in mortal fear that the paying public, i.e. taxpayers, should not be privy to the document’s contents. What are they hiding?
Not to be outdone by her ballsy petition, Batory then nominated herself for SC chair. In her statement, she putting Lumpy in the driver’s seat would set the Sochols off the cliff without a parachute leading to decisions and practices that the public would not be able to trust. She said this mistake would guarantee “more of the same.”
Trust THE PLANET and Judge Crater, “more of the same” will continue the $130 million educational joke whose punch line the city’s public schools.
THE PLANET urges citizens to show up tonight at 6 p.m. in chambers.
A pleasant time is guaranteed for all.

Chairman Peter Marchetti has his own SCANDAL! He is negatively named in Victoria May’s federal lawsuit.
Did Peter Marchetti allegedly call Victoria May a BITCH when he was her bank manager years ago?
He may have to RESIGN the mayor’s office in DISGRACE in 2026.
Why on Earth would the School Committee place him in the Chairman’s seat, especially with tonight’s (W., 01/14th/2026) high stakes debate and vote to release the taxpayer-funded legal report on the Pittsfield school scandals?
Am I the only one who see’s the proverbial Titanic heading towards the iceberg?
Let us NOT forget about the Munn’s couple lawsuit(s), as well as Evan Skubel’s lawsuit(s) versus the City of Pittsfield’s Marchetti administration?
I agree with Ciara Batory that the people do NOT trust Pittsfield politics, its Level 5 (failed), Group 11 (failed) public schools, and the corrupt political insiders who excessively spend “Kapan$ki Ka$h” to the tune of tens of millions of dollars more than similarly sized peer cities such as Westfield.
Pittsfield politics is a CIRCUS ran by political CLOWNS.
Well. Lumpy was wearing a Mask at City Clowncil last night. If he wears one at the Sochi meeting he and Bootsy will not be audible enuff to understand. So, we’re off to a rocking start. At least Muil has enuff common sense to decline. Give the damn job to the highest vote tabulated. Mrs. Mc Niece. And thank Goodness Elias doesn’t have dandruff.
The Ed reform act of Mass specifically made school boards autonomous to protect school funding from being diverted to other city interests and to protect school related decisions from undue political pressure. (separate budgets for example) This seems to be a violation of at least the intent of that state law.
Are mASSachsetts Taxpayer/Citizens going to get SCREWED by D-Gov Healey for this?
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/01/medicaid-funneled-illegal-aliens-now-tops-1-8/
“The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) announced it is withholding nearly $300 million from California after federal auditors have now confirmed that more than $1.8 BILLION in Medicaid funds may have been unlawfully spent on illegal immigrants across EIGHT states.”
Rumors say D-Healey gave out ~$1 BILLION in federal/state Taxpayer monies, to CRIMINAL ALIENS.
And as an aside, heating assistance for low income CITIZENS, is down ~30 %. While Maura was putting up CRIMINAL ALIENS, up in expensive hotel/motel rooms……for free!
Connect the dots……
““UPDATE: It’s worse than we thought.
In October, we flagged $1.3 billion in Medicaid funds that 6 states may have unlawfully spent on health care for illegal immigrants.
Since then, we’ve gathered more data and the total has grown to over $1.8 billion across 8 states.”
And and ..is the r m v (weaponized) still fining suspended out of state drivers thousands after adjudicating the suspensions out of state decades,in some cases ago. Talk about cruel and unusual punishment.!
DMV has been a rouge entity for > 50 years now.
They tack on fines after the court has already fined you for an offense. Also add license suspension time to the courts suspension.
Un-Consttiutional.
Well stated. They do. Bad enough the weaponized r m v adds he out of state suspension. Refining twenty thirty times the original adjudicated fine?….
Since you seem concerned about Constitutions today…
Is invading other sovereign nations Un-constitutional?
Asking for a friend.
You’re talking about the time Bathhouse Barry drone struck and killed Americans in Pakistan?
Obama Apologized for the Drone Killings of Two Western Victims. What About Everyone Else? | American Civil Liberties Union
You mean the 20 MILLION CRIMINAL ALIENS, Traitor Joseph Stolen/The Autopens/Mayorkas let into America?
Yes, that was un-Constitutional, traitorous, and treasonous.
Depends how you do it. It was ‘unconstitutional’ for Jefferson to seize the French Territory from Napoleon without Congress, but actually the Constitution does not prohibit the President from taking extraordinary acts that cannot wait for the Speaker of the House to make his rounds. Likewise, it was not unconstitutional for the US to take the Panama Canal, but giving it up was just about a crime.
History judges better than you.
All three wonderful and creative diversions from my point. This is what maga does. It is all they can do. They have been conditioned to deny what their own eyes are telling them. trump has taken custody of their cerebral cortex’s and thinks for them. They do realize what is happening but are mentally paralyzed and so have become helpless.
And that is so sad as they are unwittingly harming themselves, and the whole country which includes their own family and children.
You asked a question. You did not make a point.
Then why did you answer?
Why did you?
Sixty choiced in and six hundred? Choiced out. Holy Boovy yeah. No wonder were jeffed up.
Hundreds more are on a list to choice out but we have filled up all the good schools in the county. If there was enough room for all the students who want to bail out Pittsfield could eliminate its school system and the bloated wasteful budget that serves special interests more than students.
And now that open and honest Abe Marchettis is chairperson can he please print and mail to taxpayers a line itemed copy of the school budget in print big enough for seniors to read? In lieu of a serious justified audit I think this is the least he can do.
And once again he sent out census forms with an unstamped return envelope. If you do not return it you can be taken off the voting eligibility list ya know. And that begs the question, If you live in Pittsfield, knowing your vote changes nothing, do you really give a shit?
All excellent points, MEAN.
Psstt……they are all Democrats!
Facts to democRATS is like love to the rest of us normal folk.
It can be blinding.
Add TDS to the mix and as the late-great Keith Jackson used to say, “Whoa Nellie!”
The State at least is taking away 5 million because of the shrinking enrollment. Maybe they will close some schools and layoff some teachers. Can’t have a 9-1 student teacher ratio.
Dan. I have no clue what lady Boots was saying. None.
Neither did I. It was sad, actually.
Sounds like a kazoo.
Dan, neither did she.
Hegseth won’t have any problem defeating Greenland, Denmark or any NATO members that defend them. My problem is when Hegseth and Steven Miller point the guns inward like they did at Kent State. As John Fogerty said, “And when the band plays ‘Hail to the chief’, ooh, they point the cannon at you.”
I’m more worried about Mad Cow bald Liberal Lesbians blocking the roadways.
They want to blow a few heads off to instill fear amoung the populace so that they will not resist being taken over by an authoritarian ruler. And they feel pretty good about the message they sent but will be happy to reinforce it at any time.
Like Bumble’s Biden did on J-6. When a Capital Police Officer executed an unarmed Veteran. God Bless you Ashley Babbit.

Gang member arrested for theft from Federal LE vehicle.
These are the vermin D-Gov Tampon Timmy are letting run roughshod in MN.

“Multiple ICE vehicles were destroyed Wednesday night. Far-left rioters stole laptops, sensitive documents, a rifle, and ammunition from the vehicles.
WATCH:
FBI Director Kash Patel said Latin Kings gang member with a known violent criminal history was arrested.
The gang member was identified as Raul Gutierrez, 33.”
Yeah, that was a callous murder alright. Just fired randomly into the crowd.
She was actually, climbing through a broken window. Her family received 5 Million dollars in a settlement.
Glad you brought Babbit up. So she was storming the Capitol building with a thousand other thugs and was so aggressive the police had to shoot her so that she did not kill a cop. And this makes you unhappy.
But a woman sitting in a car in Minnesota, mouthing off to a mall cop Ice gorilla wearing a vest and carrying mace, gets shot in the face and maga fodder thinks this is the coolest thing ever.
trump has turned your brain inside out and upside down and now controls every neuron activated thought you have. And I find it all very sad because you were probably a pretty cool dude ten years ago.
^^ The TDS is strong in this Mad Cow bald Lesbian.
That’s why her family was awarded 5 million dollars. Most of the thugs were FBI and Antifa. Funny how 800+ idiots were arrested and no one had a gun. Mrs Good, deserved to be shot, a vehicle is a weapon. Relax , 3 more years to go. Read the Eagle, watch the View and grab some tissue’s.
Good sent the officer to the hospital with internal bleeding.
Chicago police chief reminds the public that boxing in officers with vehicles is called an ambush and is considered to be a deadly threat.
If Good really loved her children more than her ’cause’, would she have ambushed an officer with a weapon at her hands? A loving parent would not want to orphan her child.
Technically a bruise is internal bleeding. So are stomach ulcers. It seems like there’s enough video of the shooting and of the officer afterwards and the following day that the internal bleeding story is a flex more than a fact.
It’s one of my officers had internal bleeding I would remove them from duty for enough time for it to heal because that’s the type of injury that makes LEO really vulnerable in terms of being hurt more or actually killed on the job.
There are plenty of those guys on the ground out there already; they’re not going to miss one guy.
I do not believe, after watching so so many angles and videos on a variety of news outlets, not just the liberal ones, that Renee Good’s vehicle cause any injury to the officer other than to maybe his pride after the fact, but probably not even that tonight.
. They’re taking the Karen Read approach here, and it’s not working this time either.
But what I find is really offensive here and I think we all should no matter which party we’re rooting for., is the whitewash that this one officer is so essential to the ground operations.
Listen this is war —or if this is war—this everyone gets a trophy generation has to get over itself because there are going to be casualty and injuries on both sides and you, we, have to accept that human beings are expendable in this situation.
Should, or when, this turns into a declared war, we cannot allow our press to nationalize every single on the ground injury and death, no matter how horrific.
That’s war, baby.. it’s gonna be horrific for all of us.
And from where I sit, as a bleeding heart moderate leaning lib, we the liberals are letting our press strangle itself on this story.
The conservative and ultra conservatives definitely have more effective messaging in terms of impact, and if we are to be forthright, we need to look back to the late 1900s when Lee Atwater delivered what is turning out to be the fatal blow to D’s and progressives in terms of political strategy and messaging.
So how then, using today’s metric,would we describe Crispus Attucks? Domestic terrorist or hardcore patriot? Or can both of those descriptors be true?
The shooting of Good being continually presented as the problem rather than as another symptom of what many of us view as problematic and constitutionally challenging, the story has well exceeded it’s 15 minutes and the news cycle needs to move on to the bigger and more nationally and internationally important story.
History may or may point in the good killing as the catalyst of something bigger; that were made to be seen both in real time and decades down the road.
But should this girl grow into a declared civil war, death and grievous injuries on both sides well by necessity become local stories.
Thanks Outfox, and you make a strong argument. The Reade aspect looks speculative and whether true or not may not actually matter. The issue is not whether injury happened, but that the woman effectively ambushed the officer. Boxing in an officer is considered to be both an ambush and a threat to injure.Boxing in a civilian is considered taking a hostage*.
A reasonable person has the option of using a gun to defend in those situations, and an officer is often obligated to do so.
*I draw on my experience on the craft show circuit. A friend packed to leave a craft fair held in a public park early, before scheduled close. The promoter blocked his truck with his own. So, thanks to the new age of cell phones, the artist called 911 and declared a hostage crisis. Next came the SWAT team. Imagine what could have happened if the unhappy promoter chose to blast out of there instead of complying withorders to remove his vehicle? Lesson: really think twice before using your vehicle for purposes other than transport.
Also, Outfox – I agree with you about the internal bleeding – that is a pretty easy diagnosis to give if you been hit by just about anything – it’s a sub-integumentary bruise.
Close to home I think, is the memory of MOVE 1987 (?) incident under Mayor Goode of Philadelphia. As a young self-described moderate liberal socialist Jeffersonian Democrat communist (I had a lot to work through then) I argued to a teacher (also very left wing) about the violence of action taken by the Philadelphia Police (dropping a bomb on the building, storming the roof bunker, resulting in the deadly fire that scorched an entire urban block. She (the teacher) responded: “You have to understand that these people (MOVE) are not just nice people. They march all through the day and night with firearms, shout on bullhorns, and really are a problem for those living on Osage Ave.”
To me, I don’t see a large distance between the actions taken by the current crowds on city streets today and those taken by MOVE. In the end, the actions taken on Osage resulted in firings and probes faulting the strategy of dropping a bomb on the building and letting the fire roast to force an evacuation. However, no one argued that the PPD should have not responded.
So I actually witnessed MOVE as it happened, as I was a student at Temple in my very first apartment in Center City Philadelphia and we watched the whole thing unfold on my little 13-in b & w Zenith passed down from my parents, and as I was on the 11th floor of my apartment building we would run down the hall to the fire escape when we knew the helicopter was in the air and we saw that suitcase drop and fall onto the buildings while standing on the landing of the building fire escape looking west.
Sadly we lost an entire neighborhood that took years and years to rebuild and the rebuild construction was so shoddy that the homes were almost unlivable.
Worse than that UPenn took possession of the remains, and kept them for their museum. That was f***** up, on top of so many other things that went wrong.
What I do remember really clearly though is the fire chief I think his name was Gregor Sambor ( I always get his name mixed up with the name from Kafka’s Metamorphosis so I probably have it wrong but it was close to that) )going on live TV that evening and in the following day saying he took full responsibility for what happened and then back pedaling once lawyers got involved.
As for MOVE, it was easy to be sympathetic towards them as the fire burned uncontrolled, just as it is now some 40 plus years removed.
But that was not Philly’s first go round with MOVE.
I think it was Mayor Frank Rizzo’s cops, who were notoriously brutal, who first took on MOVE. Protesters did not stand a chance against his mounted Police and their horses.
Rizzo was racist and that I know for fact because my first wife was a Rizzo, and I will never forget my mother-in-law talking about the first MOVE incident by the city of Philadelphia, and describing how “filthy” the compound was and how dangerous it was for the rest of the neighborhood, and it was the same on Osage.
Filthy here however was the dog whistle word the city and my in-laws used instead of the n word.
There are some significant differences between MOVE and Minneapolis; you note superficial similarities but present inexact analogy.
One of the differences is that MOVE was also heavily armed, whereas the Minneapolis protesters so far are not or are at least not visibly, yet.
Anyway I will never forget walking past Wilson Goode( no relation to Renee LOL) in 30th Street station long after he was mayor and being shocked at how small he was.
Sir Chaz, I do want to close here by sharing with you one of my favorite moments here in Pittsfield last year when I was in attendance at the Homes not Handcuffs teach in, you know the one that was alleged to be open meeting violation?
I know you said here on this blog at one point we don’t need safety nets nets are a trap we need a springboard so as everybody in this meeting is safety net this safety net that I come in with well one of the former city councilors did say, and proceeded to quote you.
Sadly I did not have the testicular fortitude to give you credit in the moment, but the pin drop silence in the room when everybody realized the enormity of the truth of your statement and then as they were trying to figure out which former CC was something to behold.
And I do apologize that I did not credit you.
Outbox- thank you for the kind words. Your memory of that day is clearly etched into your mind. Agree with you on Rizzo. Philly never enjoyed a benevolent dictator as I recall.
Till next time…
Someone trod on my exclusive rights to Star Wars names that DV had promised were to be mine alone. Pardon the confusion the.
The comparison as you say between MN and MOVE is weak. Especially with the fatal incompetence of the fire and PPD which ended with the deaths of several children they knew were trapped inside.
And – I’m glad there’s someone here with the brains to nail me on the internal bleeding point.
Good point JT
The sad fact in all of this Meanwhile is, you’re not smart enough to see the forest through the trees.
If you democRATS don’t stand up for illegal aliens, you’re admitting that open borders was a huge mistake and you were wrong.
And if I were a cop in their shoes and someone tried to run me over and I shot and killed them, yeah, I’d FEEL PRETTY DAMN GOOD that I got to go home and see my family and that they weren’t having to prepare for my funeral.
Speaking of “authoritarian ruler,” remind The Planet which candidate was installed again without a vote EVER TAKING PLACE.
Not very democratic if you ask me.
Seek help for your TDS, please. It’s unhealthy.
That is all kinda hilarious coming from a guy who cannot see that his government now has no rules whatsoever and somehow believes that this authoritarian takeover is not ever going to fuck up his and his loved ones own lives at some point, probably sooner rather than later.
Please stop for a short moment and look back over your shoulder. If you think that dark and foreboding horizon is going to affect only democrats you are in for a shocking realization. trump has all the power he needs now and his little maga soldiers while helpful along the way, are no longer needed. Not even for the upcoming “election”, as he has just stated, there is no need for one. And he will make sure one way or the other that one does not happen.
What is about committing Federal felonies, and perpetrating assaults with deadly weapons upon LE officers, You can neither comprehend nor understand?
ICE is legally enforcing immigration laws and removing CRIMINAL ALIENS.
If I were you I would get a damn good attorney and sue that medical team that fucked up your lobotomy. I will even testify on your behalf that something went woefully wrong. It may be a simple matter of them having left a scalpel or chisel in your brain matter, assuming they found any.
How Leftist of YOU! : )
No sensible coherent response as to why you support CRIMINAL ALIENS, and foam at the mouth when immigration LE does their job and enforces the law by deporting criminals Biden/Auto pen/Mayorkas let invade America unchecked for 4 years.
Mayorkas even used taxpayer money funneled to NGOs to facilitate foreigners traveling through Central America and jumping the southern border.
Why do you hate Americans, America and it laws so much?
Really MT – this is the “Waiter, there’s a fly in my soup’ situation. Answer: “It came in with you.”
Answer here is: “Meanwhile, you are proof that no one suffers from lack of brains.”
More Kristofersson, less Kindergarden!
You know what’s funny. Ice is arresting more illegals but pulling over non illegals. You can thank Bloviate for that. And Kazoo. Please retire. No one can understand you. I’m surprised the minutes lady doesn’t resign.
Mad Cow Lesbians impeding Federal LE is a Federal felony.
More productivity and less h r in Pittsfield.
Well, it looks like the CMP (Communist mASSachusetts Party), also known as the democRATS, are looking for new ways to tax the working class out of existence, limit their mobility (vehicles), and try and keep the climate scam alive and grifting.
MA democRAT Senator Cynthia Stone Creem (d-useless), wants to reduce how much you drive your car, all in the name of “climate sca… change.”
This bill is the called the “Freedom to Move Act.” You’re free to walk, bike, or take public transportation, according to Creem. You’re not free to drive. That’s going to cost you. Not now, but the CMP is setting up another future tax down the road to penalize you for driving a gas-powered vehicle.
You wonder if the cities and towns police forces will be exempt? If not, WOW!! Talk about a double tax. Both at the state level and local level to pay the state passed on to the common folk.
When I open the picture of the article below, I can’t help but think to myself, WTF is in the water in Boston that these female politicians are drinking? Creem, failed MA gov Maura Healey, and the MA illegal aliens rep, Tricia Farley-Country Buffet (d-illegal aliens).
And I’m not trying to be mean either, but none of these three looks to me like they do much “Freedom to Move,” themselves.
Unless of course, it’s to get out of a warm state funded car, take a few photos, get back in said car, and then go back to the statehouse and bitch about how us common folk need to adhere to climate change and drive less, so they can drive more.

Meanwhile, care to defend? You fully support this.
JM, you care to chime in. You support this with your vote also.
TSC, never mind. You’re probably in the midst of a 6-day bender. Only your psych professionals understand you.
The Matriarchy! Most of them butt-ugly, just as an added bonus.
Creem has had decades of experience aggravating the common sense out of the Commonwealth.
From Newsweek
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Thursday that President Donald Trump was “speaking facetiously” when he told Reuters in an interview that “when you think of it, we shouldn’t even have an [midterm] election” when boasting about his second-term accomplishments.
Me : He was NOT speaking facetiously I assure you. He has been killing democracy since the first day he was elected the first time. And my spidy senses tell me you would be perfectly fine with this.
POTUS Trump is doing the job the American people voted for.
You’ve got a little less than 3 more years to whine about it, and cry rivers of blue liberal tears
Why does the City of Pittsfield need a new 100 +Million $ new elementary school? Crosby should be closed and their 245 students put in our other elementary schools. Full disclosure, I got my data from Department of Education site and Barry Architect sites. According to those sites the capacity of the 5 Elementary schools that were renovated in early 2000’s has a 612 student deficit. Allendale for example has a 409 student capacity with 226 students enrolled. Also there are 339 incoming 5 graders who will not be attending Elementary schools. That’s almost 1,000 students that could fit in our schools. Seems they could close more than just Crosby and Conte. We already pissed away 2 million plus on a study. Did they study enrollment?
Excellent work, JOE T. We will make use of it.
It does NOT need one. And the whole process moving forward, with hardly any resistance, is further evidence that special interests run the government and that having elections in Pittsfield is more comedy than substance.
That’s the dirty little secret, Joe! The middle school reorganization and the new build are distractions from the fact that the city can accommodate the existing number of students in current facilities (minus Crosby) without constructing a new school.
I believe the term for this illusion is “hide the wienie.”
They figure it’s going to bring kids back into the district with fancy new schools. Everyone is already looking for a way out and the district is hemorrhaging school choice funds.
I honestly find the whole ordeal hilarious, especially when the entitled parents YT’s in the Williams and Egremont Districts openly complain in public about it. Those isolated rich kids are going to get a dose of the real world soon enough
I’m going to give you two examples of fiscal conservancy of the current group of Bitchfield “leaders,” like Mayor Lumpy, CC Prez Big Dumpster Earl, and CC VP Wimpy White.
https://www.iberkshires.com/story/81389/Wahconah-Park-Grandstand-Cost-Halved-to-15M.html
**Wahconah Park grandstand to cost taxpayers $15,000,000 to watch college kids from outside of the area and have very little chance of being MLB players, play summer baseball.
https://www.berkshireeagle.com/news/central_berkshires/city-schools-report-enrollment-decline/article_036d5e20-96a5-4a9a-8cd1-cee12cc3037f.html
**Declining enrollment at Bitchfield Pubic Scohols are costing the city $5,000,000 in state aid.
So, if my math is correct, our Bitchfield “leaders” will cost taxpayers $20,000,000, for a grandstand at Wahconah Park at the expense of 204 students leaving and/or opting out of Bitchfield Pubic Scohols.
That totally makes sense.
Almost as much as the democRATS flooding the country with 20 million illegal aliens and then complaining about “no affordable housing.”
MARK
The situation is perilous, but the Idiots act as if the city is awash with prosperity.
We are flush. We’ve got all the retreads moving out and the New Yorkers moving in. They’re loaded. Ask Jesus.
Insurrection Act forthcoming. Orange Crush. We simply cannot have crazed individuals harming our Ice Agents.
They think O P E B deficit doesn’t exist.
I’ve been doing some unofficial research on Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) and those poor saps who are acutely unwell with it.
My early research shows those afflicted with TDS believe you are a “far-right,” MAGA extremist if you:
1. Have full-time, steady employment.
2. Are literate
3. Can form your own thoughts and opinions without being given them by DNC/MSM.
4. Loves his/her family.
5. Loves America
6. Has Common Sense
7. Obeys the law
8. Believes in legal immigration
9. ID required to vote
10.Job qualifications mean more than skin color does.
I believe it’s a good beginning.
Any thoughts or additions to the TDS symptoms are appreciated.
MARK
Here are a few more:
— Employs common sense
— Knows there are only two genders
— Understands the basics of government
— Practices fiscal responsibility
— Deals with reality rather that fantasy

Curiously, no one with “TDS” was amoung the domestic terrorists that stormed the Capitol building on Jan 6th and brutalized Capitol police officers. How weird is that?
Apparently throwing guys from roofs, stoving in the skulls of bystanders with batons, and lying about the circumstances of the false flag was terribly traumatic to those officers.
Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
Wrong!
There were planted agitators like Ray Epps for one.
Why didn’t Epps end up in the DC Gitomo Meanie?
Many plants from Comey’s THE FIB too.

I bet it took you a few hours of stewing to come up with that doozy of a comeback.
Way to show off that Bitchfield Pubic Scohol ejabacation of prowdly Meanwhile.
A response to this can be covered by number 3: “ Can form your own thoughts and opinions without being given them by DNC/MSM.”
Let’s put this TDS afflictation in a better context. My mother and her family were severly aflicted with Musolini Derangement Syndrome (MDS), but escaped by emigrating into this country from Italy with her parents and sibs in the 1930s. I’m sure many here also had parents and grandparents affectated with SDS (Stalin Derangement Syndrome), KDS (Khaddafi Derangement Syndrome), HDS (Hirohito Derangement Syndrome), TDS (Tito Drrangement Syndrome), KDS (Kruschev Derangement Syndrome), FDS (Franco Derangement Syndrome), CDS (Castro Derangement Syndrome) and MDS (Mao Derangement Syndrome), and emigrated into the US as a result.
Those who emigrated from Khrushchev (very few probably back then who could) would suffer KDS. Most Soviet emigres are GOP, came here in the 1980’s, and hold Reagan in high regard. Those most come here having scratched their way out of the SU with no hold on the English language, they generally are English literate and have good jobs. I am skeptical that many Serbs or Croats were infected with Tito for similar reasons. However, I’m certain there are tons of FDS, MDS infested people and other similar caterpillars munching away in their native environments.

Can we please start a GoFundMe to purchase a new toupee for Dan Elias? Or at least get the current one washed. Does this guy have no pride? Never mind I know the answer to that.
WTF happened to Yon? She hit the f’ing wall. She’s 76 but looks and acts like she’s 90.
Dan has it cleaned dried and has coupons. Yon is past her prime and should resign as she is embarrassing herself.
Bulldozing Wahconah?? You gotta be kidding!
