PLANET VALENTI NEWS AND COMMENTARY

(FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE, THE WEEKEND EDITION JUNE 26-8, 2026) — THE PLANET offers no profundities or ditties for the weekend. Instead, we present an “Off Topic” offering. We shall keep the Comment Line open for you to bring up any and all subjects.

In short, by definition, nothing can be “off topic.”

We shall be in the wilds of Essex, with our bees, Piaget watches, and other sundry ephemera with a select company of lovely adventurers.

THE PLANET does offer one thing before we leave. That would be this amusing and unfortunately accurate editorial cartoon that explain everything about our state government.

Enjoy.

Have a great weekend, everybody.

I wonder who blogger Dan Valenti dislikes more in politics and government: Andrea Harrington or Maura Healey?

I know who I dislike the most. His name rhymes with Luciforo.

I know who Maura Healey dislikes the most. He is an 80-year-old billionaire that is called the Orange Jesus, who is the so-called Savior of White Nationalist America, and Israel, too.

There is a man whose name would have a different meaning if one switched out the T with an F with the last name of Carlson. He would then be called “*ucker Carlson the alleged Nazi *uck”. He dislikes Trump, too, along with a few other far right millionaires such as MTG.

But Maura Healey is a GOOD (but misguided) person, while “*ucker Carlson” is NOT a good person.

Dan Valenti’s blog is favorable to Trump, MAGA, and the anti-women writings on and the political cartoons of the Massachusetts state government Matriarchy in 2026.

JM you calling MAGA members on here “anti-women,” but the large majority of us are MARRIED TO A WOMAN and have children.

Do you have either? A wife? An ex? Kids? Have you ever even had a GF?

democRATS love to label people don’t they.

Speaking of fraud.

The Reflecting Pool in Washington, DC, was designed to connect the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial with one long, serene visual line.
But today, more people are looking into the pool water than at the monuments it reflects and the history of America it’s meant to frame.
A renovation by the Trump administration, reported to cost around $16 million, aimed to make the pool, which has long been plagued by algal blooms, look cleaner before America’s 250th anniversary.

Instead, weeks after the conclusion of the project, which has come under scrutiny for its no-bid contracts, multimillion-dollar cost, and solutions to the algae growth, the pool has already turned green — again.
Now, the reflection of the 2,028-foot-long pool features visitors looking into the water, police officers and National Guard members monitoring the monument, National Park Service workers working long days to clean up the fast-growing algae, and protesters gathering with signs and chants.

Your man Obummer spent 34 Million repairing the same pool. President Trump would have spent less if it wasn’t for the pathetic loser Progressive Demorats vandalizing the pool. At least, it will finally be repaired, unlike the Hubbard Ave under pass.

Think of the Iran deal as a bar in Bitchfield has a violation, gets off with a warning and has another violation later and gets off again and again and again. For the last time Iran is not going to give into Trump or Netanyahu. They are Religious Fanatics. What doesn’t anyone understand? Trumps War. Billions in Trump and Family profits.

Perfect cartoon showing Maura Healey asking for handouts for illegal immigrants. It was bad when the Democrats wanted to give money to Americans who were perfectly healthy and able to work, but now they have extended it to illegal immigrants who are perfectly healthy and able to work.

Where are the 250th America birthday celebrations for this area? Why can’t Democrats do the same and show love for their country like the people coming here for sports events who have fallen in love with America.

Meanwhile and JM, let me list President Trump’s accomplishments to date:

*Secured the border
*Largest tax cut for the middle class
*Cut Illegal Aliens and freeloaders off federal benefits
*No tax on tips
*No tax on OT
*Removed China from the Panama Canal
*Destroyed Iran’s nuclear arsenal (ambitions)
*Ended 8 international conflicts
*Ended the WEF
*Reduced our trade deficit by 50%
*SECURED TRILLIONS IN AMERICAN MANUFACTURING

Go ahead Meanwhile, you’ll mention the Epstein List and/or now the latest democRAT talking point, the reflecting pool.

Just fluff to distract away from REAL RESULTS being delivered to the American people and not fu**king Ukraine or illegal aliens like the Autopen Administration delivered to us.

A couple things to me that makes me wonder if the PPS know what they are doing. One if Crosby is in such deplorable condition ( I believe it is) why are they having children go back there. The enrollment is barely 200 students, now that the 5 grade is eliminated. They can easily be absorbed in the other 6 Elementary schools. Again 5th grade is being eliminated opening up more class rooms in already under populated elementary schools. The other mind boggling decision is taking away the neighborhood middle schools. If moving the 5 graders out of elementary schools was a priority, why not move the 8 grade students to a separate wing at the empty PHS. They could call it 8th grade Academy, PHS has plenty of room. Then the 5-6-7 grade students could attend school in their own neighborhoods. Just a thought.
