And now for something completely different --- why in 2020 would this Brooklyn & Staten Island Republican blog be focusing on a 2021 Democrat Primary in Northwestern Queens ???


The 2021 Democrat Primary in Northwest Queens will include a race for a hotly contested seat, currently occupied by City Council Member Costa Constantinides  ---  that Council District covers Astoria and parts of East Elmhurst, Jackson Heights and Woodside;  it will be coming up for grabs in 2021, because Councilman Constantinides is term-limited.....


One of the leading contenders will be Tiffany Caban, an AOC-supported Democrat, who probably should have become the elected District Attorney for the whole County of Queens in 2019  >>>  but for the very corrupt count of the Democrat primary vote by the NYC Board of Elections in and for the County of Queens  >>>  followed by perhaps the dirtiest backroom deal in modern times during the aborted NY State Court review of that very corrupt count of the vote by the NYC Board of Elections in and for the County of Queens.....


There are many similarities between the Queens Council District that includes Astoria and parts of Woodside  >>>  and the Brooklyn Council District that includes Bay Ridge and Dyker Heights........... 


Maybe, that's the reason why NYC Councilman Justin Brannan has taken such a keen interest  in the Queens District,  even though he is likely to be facing his own Democratic Primary,  and possibly a difficult re-election fight from a Republican like John Quaglione, who easily won the Republican Primary in 2017,  and then narrowly losing to Brannan in the general election


We here at "The Brooklyn and Staten Island Independent GOP Fountainhead" will be keeping a close eye on these goings-on.  

I don't know how, or why, but an insider has told me that most likely Tiffany Caban was herself involved in the corrupt deal that resulted in Melinda Katz' becoming the Democrat nominee for Queens County D.A. instead of the actual 2019 winner of the Democrat Primary for Queens D.A., Tiffany Caban.  However, the insider suggested to me that Tiffany Caban obviously obtained immediate valuable consideration for tanking her NY State Supreme Court case against the BOE and Melinda Katz, as well as substantial future consideration.

Tiffany Caban has already been actively working on her 2021 campaign for City Council to succeed Councilman Costa Constantinides  ---  one has to wonder if the 2019 backroom deals for Queens D.A. included a deal for the Council seat in Northwest Queens going to Caban.

Weren't there hundreds and hundreds of ballots that were never counted by the Queens BOE?

I'm told that those unseen ballots were largely for election districts where Tiffany Caban had huge margins in her favor, and the total number of ballots is about five times more than Melinda Katz purported margin of victory.

Gayle, I think your tin foil hat is getting too tight

News articles said Caban had her day in court. And Caban had top election lawyer Goldfeder.
How come you see something nobody else does?

I DIDN'T MAKE UP JUSTIN BRANNAN'S INTEREST IN THE QUEENS DISTRICT..... JUSTIN BRANNAN HAS BEEN REPORTED TO BE INTERESTED IN BEING THE CITY COUNCIL SPEAKER & BRANNAN CERTAINLY HAS DONE SEVERAL THINGS TOGETHER WITH COUNCILMAN COSTA CONSTANTINAIDES

AS FOR THE PART OF MY FEATURE POST RELATED TO THE 2019 DEMOCRAT PRIMARY FOR QUEENS DA --- FIRST, IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE PRIMARY, TIFFANY CABAN WAS THE APPARENT WINNER; SECOND, THE QUEENS BOE COUNT OF VOTES IN THE CABAN-KATZ... DA PRIMARY WRONGLY FAILED TO COUNT OVER 300 BALLOTS USING AN ABSOLUTE COMPLIANCE STANDARD THAT HAD BEEN THROWN OUT BY THE APPELLATE COURT COVERING QUEENS COUNTY; THE TRIAL COURT REVIEW OF THE QUEENS BOE COUNT APPLIED THE SAME ERRONEOUS ABSOLUTE COMPLIANCE STANDARD AS THE QUEENS BOE; AND THE APPEAL TO THE SECOND DEPARTMENT FROM THE TRIAL COURT WAS NEVER PROPERLY PERFECTED BY CABAN'S ATTORNEY, AND THEN IT WAS WITHDRAWN BEFORE ANY OF THE DISPUTED BALLOTS WERE OPENED AND TALLIED


My source indicated that Tiffany Caban had to cooperate in her attorneys' failure to perfect Tiffany's appeal to the Appellate Division for the Second Department; and even more so, to consent with the withdrawal of her appeal completely.

Sounds like Gayle has been spending some time smoking crack in Lake Success with Sweeney, Reich and Bolz but he's got it all wrong because Caban is no County Hack.

With Democrats, everybody is a county hack once they get a piece of the pie, and she ain't named 'Tiffany' for nothing.
Watch and learn.
It's fascinating, it really is.

You have it all wrong about Brooklyn politics so Queens is sure to follow. The audacious claims about John Qz performance in 2017 needs to be addressed. So I'll address it.
John Q was a trainwreck after the primary in 2017. Like a snivelling child all Mr Q did was complain about Capanos reform party. Qz November election ended in defeat. If you had any sense of indecency this will be promptly corrected.

TO EVERYBODY RESPONDING SINCE MY LAST

WHAT A BUNCH OF CLOWNS YOU ARE --- LIKE CINDY WALKER AND EDDY ARNOLD, AND LATER RAY CHARLES ALONG WITH OTHERS LIKE JERRY VALE WOULD PUT TO MUSIC >>> "BUT, YOU DON'T KNOW ME...."


This is a deep dive into the soul and psyche of an insider that strongly supported Caban in 2019 --- and when the price was right, she strapped one on and fucked him up the ass.....

My source isn't one of the usual suspects like Brooklyn's own Harry Lime, Justin B; however if JB is as interested in taking a solid whack at a pinata named Tiffany Caban, then he'd be well advised to give me a tingle in the old-fashion way.

Right you are, as a matter of decency, I feel obliged to mention that John Q was there at the start in 2017; and at the finish, he was almost neck'n'neck with Justin Brannan.

If Bob Capano ran any circles around anybody in 2017, how could anybody notice, unless they subscribed to the "One Percenters' Report"..... And if there is one thing that most people can say about Bob, it's that Bob Capano had been going around in circles for years before 2017.

Do you know what they call the person who won by 1 vote?

The Honorable duly elected official.

Galewyn please don't give John Q any ideas. He is heavily medicated and still cursing JB under his breath walking the streets like a crazyperson

Bob Capano will lead us back from the brink of extinction in 2021

TO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 10:16 AM"

WITHOUT A DOUBT, THERE ARE SOME OF US WHO GO AROUND: THINKING THAT WE ARE THE SMARTEST GUY IN THE ROOM; THINKING THAT WE HAVE BIG HANDS AND FEET; THINKING THAT SINGLE-HANDEDLY WE "WILL LEAD US BACK FROM THE BRINK OF EXTINCTION".....

I am not saying that Bob Capano is one of us, but.....

All of the Republicans in Brooklyn need to know and appreciate that one, and only one, person is ENVIED because he is the only one: that has big hands and feet; that has run circles around all his opponents in 2017 and ever since; that is a top assistant and go-fer with an office down the hall from a billionaire; that is a "business executive"; that is a "professor" and has been one for quite some time; that has been photographed on the subway with a can in a bag in his hand; that is a journalist-commentator at a prominent chain of local newspapers; that has won back the favor all of the people in the Republican Party, who might have been briefly at odds with him over the 2017 primary and election; that has been one of the few players to have been an MVP in both the American and National Leagues; that has been both a winner of the Cy Young Award and a "Triple Crown"; that has been an owner of a "Triple Crown" racehorse; that is a complete and absolute supporter of the afterhours guru Vito Bruno for the State Senate; and that has been the inspiration for several of SNL's iconic characters over the years like "Nathan Thurm," "Matt Foley," "PAT," "Mary Katherine Gallagher," and "Stuart Smalley" --- and is, and has been, often mistaken for Al Franken and Molly Shannon.

NOW, IF ALL THAT SOUNDS LIKE BOB CAPANO TO YOU --- WELL THEN, PROBABLY YOU ARE BOB CAPANO

If Bob can triple his vote from his last race he comes in at 3%

if they don't give Capano the lane to run against Fat Boy next year, Capano just will run on the third line and be a spolier so they may as well give Capano the lane so he can win fair and square

UPDATE & BACKFILL: THE "QUICK CALL FROM MY SOURCE ON ALL THIS CABAN STUFF" EDITION

TIFFANY CABAN IS RACKING UP CONCESSIONS FROM HER OPPONENTS AND EVEN GETTING THEIR ENDORSMENTS --- SOMEBODY IS CLEARLY CLEARING THE TABLE FOR A CABAN WALKOVER INTO THE COUNCIL SEAT FOR THE 22ND COUNCIL DISTRICT MOSTLY IN NORTHWEST QUEENS

JUSTIN BRANNAN HAS OBVIOUSLY LOST INTEREST IN ANY ATTEMPT TO BLOCK TIFFANY CABAN'S GETTING ONTO THE CITY COUNCIL STARTING IN 2022


My source, who is more on top of the whole Tiffany Caban effort than almost anybody, quickly called to point out that the opposition to Tiffany Caban is melting in the face of very serious left-wing and powerful Queens County Democrats pushing for Tiffany Caban's nomination to the City Council seat unopposed; he also mentioned that some of that specifically is coming from Queens D.A., Melinda Katz, acting through some of her longtime political operatives >>> from before the time she became the Queens D.A., but not now at all....

Perhaps the most significant recent pull-out from the race was Nicholas Roloson, the Chief of Staff to the current City Council Member Costa Constantinides. That adds him to the very long list of strange bedfellows including Queens pols and others on the left backing Tiffany Caban --- that list includes: Rod Townsend, a prior announced candidate, who also recently ended his campaign and threw his support behind Cabán, State Senator Jessica Ramos, New York State Senator Mike Gianaris, NYC Council Member Jimmy Van Bramer, AD 36 District Leader-elect Zachariah Boyer, Astoria Democratic District Leader-elect Shawna Morlock, Community Organizer Rana Abdelhamid, Democratic nominee for the 34th District of the New York State Assembly Jessica González-Rojas, and Queens organizer Jesse Cerrotti, the Working Families Party, and something called "Road to Justice NYC," a new labor coalition composed of Make the Road Action, 1199 SEIU, and Community Voices Heard.

Since this blog is now run by Brannan, the fact that Capano is being attacked so much shows who he fears the most!

watching Galye discuss the deep sea inner workings of Queens politics is a treat. Its as if he is reading yesterday's newspaper upside down. A clue he has not. Beware the ides of Ambrose.

WHEN SOMEBODY SAYS, "LOOK, THERE'S A BUNCH OF SHARKS GATHERED ABOUT A HUNDRED FIFTY YARDS OFF THE BEACH," YOU DON'T NEED TO BE A MARINE BIOLOGIST OR A PROFESSIONAL SHARK HUNTER TO THINK THEY MIGHT BE RIGHT WHEN YOU PLAINLY SEE SOME OMINOUS DORSAL FINS CUTTING THROUGH THE WATER BACK AND FORTH ABOUT THAT FAR FROM WHERE THE SURF MEETS THE SAND

As far as I know, I haven't discussed any of "...the deep sea inner workings of Queens politics..." I just wrote a feature post and did an "UPDATE & BACKFILL" comment about two phone calls --- no more and no less. Admittedly, the calls were sort of long and the other party was very opinionated, expressive and, by my lights, apparently well informed.

One example of what he said was that a few of the hundreds of "unopened and uncounted" paper ballots in the Caban-Katz DA Primary had been opened and a count started at the BOE --- that small sample of either seventeen or nineteen ballots contained thirteen votes for Caban --- until the Queens BOE declared that none of them should have been either be opened or counted.

Your right. Liam Ambrode would know the inner workings of the Queens machine better than anybody because he helped Eric Urlich sail to defeat in the Public Advocates race much to the disgust of Tom Ognibene

1233, you mentioned nobody relevant to the backroom deal with Tiffany Caban, although Queens Republicans and Conservatives have gotten their share of stuff from Melinda Katz over the years, and that continues. Mike Connors would know more about that than McCabe.

The mere supposition of collusion is fantastical. Tiff Caban wouldn't even so much as spit in Melinda's direction if she was on fire and let us say the feeling goes both ways. Your Queens source is high on Crack.
