LACK OF FIREWORKS LEADS THE WAY FOR BITCHFIELD FOURTH … GREAT JOB, LUMPY!!
BY DAN VALENTI
PLANET VALENTI NEWS AND COMMENTARY
(FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE, THE WEEKEND EDITION JULY 3-5) — First, allow THE PLANET to wish all our readers and commentators a happy Fourth of July weekend. ‘Tis a grand day marking 250 years of the great experiment that is America.
Yums: On the day itself, at the farm in Essex, we shall present a menu for our guests featuring pre-repast of shrimp cocktail and white-truffle martinis. This will be followed by our entree: Tuna Tartare with Oscar caviar and a selection of sides. We’ll wash it down with a few bottles 2020 Chateau Lafitte Rothschild Paulliac, 1st Cru Classe. The day after, we come down to earth with we got grilled burgers and dogs! Swimming in the pond, though.

Lack of Fire Power: In Bitchfield, of course, there will be NO FIREWORKS. This makes Lumpyville one of practically nonexistent number of the 12,000 cities, towns, or villages in the United States that won’t have such a show. On the 250th. Keep in mind that Mayor Lumpy is Mr. Fourth of July Parade, head of a creepy committee that in the past could at least make for fireworks. No more. What a lump! You look at the leadership, Lumpy, Dumpster, and all the rest of the bandits, and you can only shake your head.
It Sucks: And that sucking sound you heard on Wednesday? That was Lumpy pulling off suction cups he had attached to Gov. Healey after our Matriarch concluded her visit and got in her chauffeured limo for the ride back to Boston. On the way, she dropped another $2 million at the BIC, soon to add Myrias Optics. The news was so big at the company that its website didn’t even mention it.
Commanisn: Have to laugh at the socialist lean of the once-proud Democrats, who have fallen for the exotic promise: “From each according to ability, to each according to work.” Except that they dropped the “work” and substituted it with “need.” That’s pure communism, that Cold War bugaboo. Communism is another of those economic theories, like “social credit,” that promises a classless society but delivers yet another method for greedy oligarchs to amass power and riches. As for the proletariat? Better hope that Big Government gives you enough crumbs to survive. Forget about living, unless you’re an illegal alien. Then you got it made. If you want to see it in action, visit New York City. The idea is to spread poverty to foster more reliance on government “freebies”–the ones paid for the Mary Jane and Joe Kapanski.
Safe: So far this year, Boston is averaging four shootings a week, with countless other stabbings, beating, and lawlessness. Mayor Wu still says Beantown is “the safest city in America.” Wu, of course, is a blow-in from crime-infested Chicago, where politicians ignore reality. Violence up, police manpower down. Wu as city councilor led a defund-the-police fad taken up by her successors. It has reduced the Hub’s force from 1,800 to 1,200. The chaotic results are evident everyday. Mayor Lumpy, following his idol, has pulled a complete disappearing act as illegals, mentally ill, druggies, and other assorted riff-raffles make downtown a nightmare.
Mirror, Mirror on the Wall: An amazing thing happened this week. Council President Dumpster Earl found “someone who looked like himself.” He looked into a mirror.
That’s all we got for the weekend. THE PLANET, unlike your local politicians and mainstream media, wants to hear what’s on your mind. For that we have The Comment Line.
Have a great Fourth weekend, everybody!

Hello blogger Dan Valenti,
If Lumpy puts stickers of fireworks on his BIG beer belly and walks around shirtless, and the 15 to 25 empty storefronts on North Street reflect his image on the window panes, and Pete White loudly bangs on his Voltron mask, and Earl opens the empty dumpsters for echoes, and Tricia Country Buffet holds up lighted sparklers, then there would be no need for real fireworks in Pittsfield (Mass.) on the 4th of July.
I heard that Sara Hathaway told Boston Mayor Michelle Wu to use her “crime in Pittsfield is an aberration” line on Boston’s fictional Kapanski’s. She even told her that her quip that “Pittsfield is a Junkie for state aid” would make them forget about the past 2 years of double digit local tax increases in Boston.
As for Governor Maura Healey, at least she shows up in Western Massachusetts with state funds for BIC and other worthwhile programs. In fact, she has proposed increasing state aid to and new local revenue options for local governments, which would have helped areas such as Berkshire County.
But it is actually the Massachusetts State Representatives who are the ones who are most responsible for under-funding local aid and leaving financially constrained local governments without new local revenue options. Where are the Berkshire State Representatives Tricia Farley-Bouvier, Leigh Davis, and John Barrett III?
President Donald Trump is accusing the Democrats of supporting Communism in the 2026 midterms season that looks to be in the favor of the Democratic Party. Nobody wants Commie Oligarchs who make pseudo-promises of economic equality, but the Billionaire Oligarchs in America are not doing us commoners any real favors either when it comes to economic equality in the 21st Century.
Why are politics going to such black and white styled extremes? If the billionaires cannot have it all, then the Democrats will bring about Communism in America. Is there any in between in 2026?
The fictional Kapanski’s should NOT have to choose between being shot in their ARM or in their LEG! It is like them having to choose between one Pete plus the other Pete plus an Earl or listening to fingernails screech against a chalkboard.
Happy Independence Day. The 250th Anniversary of the Unites States of America.
Best wishes,
Jon Melle
I wish Governor Maura Healey showed up to give taxpayers a break instead of giving taxpayers money away in grants to BIC etc.. It’s a photo op for the election season and votes.
OPIE
They think voters are stupid, that they don’t know this is pure schlepping for votes.
Dan, I wish you a wonderful 250th Anniversary celebration at the farm. Shittsfield is indeed alive and well, as you point out here, and others have in the comments, with the “illegals, mentally ill, druggies, and other assorted riff-raffles”. ShIttsfield has certainly gone one way, down the shitter, over the past few decades, and the mayors not only let it happen, many of them, particularly Marchetti and Tyer, facilitated the flushing. What the city lacks in fireworks, it will make up for in gunshots over the weekend.
“First let me say, I like fireworks – I think they’re fun,” Russell Dickerson, a professor of atmospheric chemistry at the University of Maryland told Agence France-Presse, but said the number in question was “frightening”.
“In my professional opinion, it’s probably ill-advised to try to set off 850,000 fireworks … on a hot, stagnant, already polluted day. I’m not going down to the Mall and I certainly would not bring my grandchildren there.”
The biggest concern is fine particulate matter, he explained – particles 2.5 micrometres or smaller that can penetrate deep into the lungs, enter the bloodstream and even cross the blood-brain barrier.
The EPA’s 24-hour standard caps exposure at 35 micrograms per cubic metre. After a fireworks show, “it dissipates substantially in a few hours, but in those few hours, people are going to be exposed to huge amounts,” Dickerson said, adding that the smoke could cut visibility to a few hundred metres.
Wishing the Planet and all a safe and happy 250th Independence Day .
What a wonderful menu, being so close to the ocean, lobster tail and Stuffed Striped Bass, with Whistle Pig Highball and Hoosic Tunnel or
A fine Truro white for the wine drinkers. Followed by clams oysters and Tuna Sashimi on recovery day….
When in Rome….
Lumpy was certain to adhere to Demonrat TDS outrage, platform.
With Big Chief Lialota Warren, leading her tribe of undocumented, useful idiots and hippocrits, to the land of free stuff and equity.
Fortunately the Self destruction of the Demonratic party, is accelerating , with the fracturing of the reasonable from the ideological useful idiots.
Myrias Optics , Taxatwoshits newest Nuclear biosystems , another of Demonrats countless money laundering and theft schemes.
Is this same Myrias , that lobbied to close Taxatwoshits Pig farms, to benefit Chinese owned conglomerate factory farms?
Which Injustice Roberts declared constitutional, Odumber Care part 5…. Court favorability is lower than ever,and sinking as fast as Denonratic parting….
Free stuff promised, which in reality, cannot be fulfilled.
How’s them free buses in NYC coming. Like all Demonrats, empty promises from soulless criminals, only the useful idiots and undocumented, believe them.
With a little help, it will further divide the liberals….
TDS complications were predictable, it’s a repetitive pattern….
Seeing the pattern yet?
Voters will, if messaged effectively.
Never let a crisis go to waste….
Off topic:
ICYMI
Proper legal immigration, is now effectively cancelled, America now has Didn’t Earn It , citizenship.
No more pesky holding a Green Card for 3 to 5 years), submitting the application and fees, completing a biometrics appointment, passing an English and civics test during an in-person interview, and taking the Oath of Allegiance.Roberts will let you cut in line, because But Trump ….
Roberts deals blow to 1st amendment, one more step closer, to Europe….
With a little luck, Trump dumps NATO- uses assets to fund western hemispheric defense and welfare.
Venezuelan politicians are still censoring media, as their substandard building codes and inspections, are being exposed.
US military is on the ground, several American alternative media outlets are reporting, while being threatened by corrupt Venezuelan government.
The criminals always attempt to conceal their crimes, and censor information. See first. Off topic.
The Planet been the victim of judiciary censorship, to protect an elitists plaything.
Seeing the pattern yet?

TDS Cities and towns across the USA are using the same excuse as Lumpy for the fourth. Cancelled because of vendor issues, safety etc.. They are then setting dates after the 250 th. for them. Dearborn Mi., Virginia etc.. The TDS MEMO went out don’t celebrate the 250 th because of TDs.
Mayor Rodrigues told the woman that the city of Brockton was not able to get a firework company to produce fireworks for the city.

fireworks/
Spot on, OP!
The Guv, Brockton mayor, Lumpy in cahoots due to extreme Demonrat Socialists’ TDS. I hope people up there are ringing Lumpy’s phone off the hook.
What a loser. My Pitt relatives said he’s put up his rainbow flags across North St. as well as City Hall – where is the outrage? Oh wait, Pitt is the same place promoting Drag Story Time for kids, and covering up sexual crimes in the city schools!

Happy 4th of July, to everyone on The Plant.
I even extend that to our Marxist posters, Meanwhile, JM, and VendettaChatGPT.
Hussein and the DNC sent out a memo for the other democRAT “leaders” not to celebrate the 4th of July this year, because of TDS. Like good sheep, they all followed along.
Did you see the Shity of Buffalo was even flying the Somali flag on city hall.
WTF happened to our country?
The Smith-Mundt Act (2012), that Hussein slipped through really worked.
We’ve read on here that VendettaChatGPT was going to MN to “save our country,” after ICE blasted that POS Renee Good. Probably to deliver bricks or non-organic signs paid for by billionaire George Soros.
Meanwhile stated, “I support China,” and Marxist Melle’s undefined “cringe worthy posts,” about NH not wanting to “MA up NH,” has really worked. He never had defined what exactly is “cringe worthy.”
The democRAT party stokes emotion, rather than a fact based argument because they can’t. It’s working too. The 3 of them are the proof in the pudding.
What’s so happy about it buffoon? Price of everything is still up. In clouding taxes.That’s the only thing that would make me happy.

Re: Kelly’s CRINGE cards
My reply is that Kelly Ayotte plays her CRINGE cards against Democrats such as Governor Maura Healey and her friend in Manchester, NH, Joyce Craig, along with her campaign tagline of “Don’t MASS Up NH”.
Let’s take a look at Kelly Ayotte’s public record.
She used to sit on corporate boards of multi-billion-dollar companies. Her priorities are millionaires and billionaires in BIG business and BIG government.
After the school shooting tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, she was the only U.S. Senator in the entire northeast region of the U.S.A. who voted against gun reform legislation that after 13.5 years still has NOT passed in the U.S. Congress.
Since the aforementioned school shooting tragedy, there have been many additional school shootings in the U.S.A. Career politicians such as Kelly Ayotte are only about BIG Money and Power. They do not care about protecting the innocent lives of children in schools across the U.S.A.
Kelly Ayotte says that she is pro-life, but she is also pro-GUNS that are anti-life.
Kelly Ayotte should NOT be the Governor of New Hampshire. She does not support the state government fully funding public education in NH. She favors millionaire families who use state funds to send their privileged children to the best private schools. She even supports Donald Trump who is dismantling the U.S. Department of Education.
Kelly Ayotte is the WORST Governor in the history of New Hampshire. The working class population is seeing negative net wage and net income growth. It is almost impossible for the average NH resident to afford a home anymore. She put additional financial burdens of Medicaid. Again, she is under-funding public education.
When President Obama nominated Merrick Garland to the U.S. Supreme Court, Kelly Ayotte and her fellow Republican U.S. Senator did NOT allow a vote to confirm him. The Republicans accuse the Democrats of “Law-fare”, but then again, like Kelly Ayotte, they themselves really stand for hypocrisy.
In 2016, Kelly Ayotte said that she could NOT support Donald Trump for U.S. President after his hot mic “Grab women by the PUSSY” leak. But then in 2024, Kelly Ayotte endorsed Donald Trump for U.S. President because she puts her political career ahead of her beliefs.
In conclusion, it is frustrating for me – Jon Melle – to witness Kelly Ayotte’s CRINGE politics because she is no better than her opposition. Furthermore, I believe that Massachusetts (my home state) is a beautiful state (like NH), and that Governor Maura Healey supports and stands for good causes that I support.

In other news…
#new 8-10 million gallons of sewage water has been pouring into the Merrimack River in Gov. Maura Healey’s Massachusetts every single day since June 27
#Massachusetts
Swimming has been banned at North Shore beaches along with shellfishing and possible Fourth of July celebrations because Healey’s administration hasn’t been able to fix a broken sewer line over the last five days.
The breaks happened during a severe thunderstorm.
A 42-inch sewer force main near Haverhill’s South Mill Street Pumping Station failed in two places.
Wastewater that should have reached the city’s treatment plant instead overflowed directly into the Merrimack River downstream of downtown Haverhill.
A second break was identified the next day during inspections.
Haverhill Department of Public Works Director Bob Ward confirmed the amount of raw sewage:
“Eight or 10 million gallons a day, you know, there’s no way to put it; it’s just constant.”
Merrimack River Watershed Council testing found unsafe bacteria levels at multiple sites, with E. coli in one location reaching 40 times safe limits.
Health risks include gastrointestinal illness, infections, and in severe cases organ damage or death in both humans and animals.
Conservatives say this is another example of what Democrat policy and priorities gets its
Critics, say that the democrat’s excessive spending on services for illegal migrants and progressive social programs has diverted focus and resources from infrastructure upkeep and predictable failures from aging infrastructure.
The phrase “Democrats destroy everything they touch” reflects widespread frustration from people who see one-party governance producing repeated disasters in basic public services despite sky high taxes and spending.
