In a rather clear pushback against left-wing policies throughout the EU, the right-wing populist and nationalist Fratelli d'Italia has swept to a large lead in the election held yesterday in Italy --- and a governing coalition of newly-elected conservative and rightist members of that country's legislature will be forming the most right leaning and nationalist government in Italy since the fall of the Fascists from power during WW II, almost eighty years ago
After the chaos in the wake of the most recent brief but significant lurch leftward behind authoritarian governments throughout the EU, rightist populists have made significant gains throughout the EU, even in some of what had been Europe's most progressive democracies, like Sweden
Similar trends are also appearing throughout the USA, with MAGA Republicans poised to regain power in the upcoming elections of 2022 and 2024 --- and --- Trump's recent apparent embrace of QAnon, with several recent symbolic QAnon quotes by Trump and open QAnon gestures at Trump's rallies, and the promise of pardons to those that are prosecuted for their parts in the events of January 6th, demonstrating that he sees the alt-right as an inviting and promising political path, or as a source of useful open and notorious allies going forward
Whether this all emerges as a threat to the democracy currently being practiced here in the United States, or is a vital expression of a new and true populist democray remains to be seen.
However, the recent hysterical screeching from the current Democrat regime or Joe Biden, and the authoritarian shadow government of recent years which is seemingly loyal to Biden, along with the few remaining patently RINO Republicans shows that >>>THEY ALL<<< feel threatened by the rising tide of populist sentiment in communities across this country against the generations-long centralization of power in Washington, D.C., and the unresponsive repressive rule by Democrats in several one-party ruled state and local governments.
As Barry Goldwater famously announced in 1964 >>> "EXTREMISM IN THE DEFENSE OF LIBERTY IS NO VICE" --- so, mere name-calling about "extremism" should provide encouragement, not discouragement of any kind whatsoever.

UPDATE & BACKFILL: THE "FRATELLI D'ITALIA GOVERNMENT" EDITION
STRONG VOTE THROUGHOUT ITALY SUGGESTS THE FRATELLI D'ITALIA PARTY MIGHT BE ABLE TO FORM A GOVERNMENT WITHOUT FORMING A TRANS-RIGHTIST COALITION --- AND DEALING WITH CERTAIN OVERBEARING PERSONALITIES ON THE RIGHT
Final numbers are not yet in, but the possibility of an all Fratelli D'Italia government is growing. The more likely result is a slightly tinctured coalition with a few ministers from the other right-wing parties.
Still no mention about the 400 + people that packed Gargulios for Chairperson Ghorras GOP event. Zeldins speech demonstrated that Ted will be a player in the Zeldin-Esposito administration.
236, you don't know your history.
If Zeldin does manage to get elected, Kassar will be the key "player" in and for Brooklyn along with Dov Hikind. Ghorra is an unidentified, non-flying, stationary object that doesn't appear on anybody's radar.
No I know the history. I was at the event. Zeldin spoke about Ghorra and how he rebuilt the party that had been in steady decline.
Ghorra is thought of so poorly that Gerry and Marty spoke about dumping him at the reorg this week. The calls begging people to take sponsorships to his party while letting certain people in for free but making his board workers pay is gonna byte him in the ass
Chris Meloni Has the Sweetest Word to Describe Working With Mariska Hargitay
5:46 has some things confused. Lee and Alison are constantly talking to Craig complaining about how useless Ted is while Ted in his usual petty ways is always complaining to Abby why they’re talking to Craig so much.
In 46 days the Brooklyn GOP will have more electeds than ever. That took years of planning. And it wasnt just Ted.
The only "dumping" gerry and Marty did is after they split that box of prunes.
There is talk of replacing Teddy with Liam and making John a vice chair keeping both Jerry and Marty happy. Teddy wants to wait until after election to claim credit for a bunch of victories he sees coming. Wait for it.
It was a blow to Eaton for Zeldin to say publicly how theparty was in decline before Ghorra..
Eaton?
Kassar, Ghorra,Zeldin,Esposito, and Catsimatedes had a great conference call this morning. Needless to say no Eaton.
Liam would be a great choice for county leader.
Any victories that come in November are thanks to the hard work that Chairman Eaton put in over many many years in the trenches but I fear there will be very very few victories at all thanks to Ted Gorra and Gerry Kassar who have managed to undo all the hard work Eaton did
Liam is the one!
Per the Zeldin conference call this morning, Ghorra & Brooklyn will be a key part of making sure Zeldin gets 30% of the vote in NYC.
441..great logic.
So Ghorra gets the blame if things go bad but Eaton gets the credit if things go good. Makes sense..LOL
Ted can write whatever fantasy he wants on here. Literally now Abby is complaining to the team that she don’t want to take his calls no more because all he calls her for is when he complains about Eaton all the time and why they are working with him.
Eaton?
Liam all over social media at Brooklyn GOP Hesdquarters giving out campaign material for Bklyn GOP candidates. No sign of Eaton.
Who is Abby???
Craig can write whatever fantasy he wants on here. Literally now Abby is complaining to the team that she don’t want to take his calls no more because all he calls her for is when he complains about Ghorra all the time and why they are working with him.
Eaton?
Liam all over social media and Brian Fox all over the buffet table
You all talk so much about “Eaton?” Yet you all talk about him all the time. If he was “?” why do you ALL talk about him all the time. Lol Just saying.
There is one photo of Liam on FB. If that is “all over social media” that is sad
Ted for whiny crybaby, Liam for BKGOP Chair.
803, "Abby" is the famous brain donor in "Young Frankenstein"
Zeldin said publicly at GOP event that Ghorra rebuilt a party that was in "steady decline" ..those comments have made it around NYC GOP circles. So Eaton can say whatever he wants on this blog but people go by what was said publicly by Zeldin hinself !
Is that the same Zeldin that the Albany DA is going to charge with hiring a convicted Election Law felon to generate and file a false instrument to unfluence a NYS agency to put him on the ballot? The only unanswered question is whose copier was used. Zeldin's campaign says that they have no copier; has anybody asked Jessica Proud if Ghorra has a copier?
1020
Nice try Gale to divert from your buddy Eaton and him getting knocked publicly by zeldin
I was at the Dinner and Zeldin said nothing like that. If he did post the audio or video or else stop lying.
I saw Zeldin, Eaton and Cats at lunch earlier this week. Fake news 946
Zeldin Cats and Craig we’re at Cipriani’s the other night.
I was at the dinner and he said that..watch the video
None of this matters. It's all over for the GOP in Brooklyn, NY City, or NY State regardless...
So, everybody needs to stop pretending anybody matters...
852. You are so correct. When Eaton left the Brooklyn GOP died. That is the simple truth
859
Not according to the titular head of the NYS GOP Lee Zeldin who said Ghorra rebuilt the Brooklyn GOP that was in "steady decline" before him.
That means Zeldin is the titular head of nothing; he's headed nowhere; and wherever he might lead, few are likely to follow.
As for Ghorra, I agree that whatever GOP exists in Brooklyn is now 100% his. But just like Zeldin might be statewide, as leader of the GOP in Brooklyn, Ghorra is the head of nothing; he's headed nowhere; and wherever he might lead, few are likely to follow.
Liam will be the first real bklyn gop chair we will have since Arthur Bramwell..
The Zeldin campaign has been waiting with baited breath for Ghorra to deliver on even a fraction of the promises he made to them. The wait is finally over, they gave up and are moving on.
403
Not according to what Zeldin said at thr bklyn gop gala..!! You can make up whatever u want but what he says publicly is what matters!
What happened to Nick Chambles?
946 AM yesterday; 826 PM yesterday ; 737 AM today & 535 PM today, you are scting like a dog with a hambone, and have about the same level of political insight.
First, what Zeldin might have said or not said don't mean a thing unless and until he might get elected governor, which reamins very unlikely because of the very likely landslide against him in Brooklyn and the rest of NYC except for Staten Island.
Second, Ted Ghorra has not built a thing in Brooklyn, or rebuilt the Brooklyn GOP that repeatedly had won races under Craig Eaton.
652
That makes no sense. So what Zeldin says of his beliefs of the Brooklyn GOP and Ghorra doesnt matter now..but if hes elected then it matters?? Great logic
Your second point is opinion & an opiniom not shared by Lee Zeldin and his top GOP state supporters.
Conference call yesterday with John McLaughlin on his poll with Nick Langworthy, Kassar, Ghorra, Allison Esposito and Catsimatedes..39% for Zeldin in Bklyn..higher than any borough except Staten Island of course..Ghorra got credit..needless to say Eaton not on call..
Sienna poll has Zeldin down by double digits. As Zeldin goes down so does Ghorra, all his candidates and his legacy ! Time for new leadership….anybody. Even Maresca would be better.
821, what in the world did Ted Ghrra have to do with any polling or polling results in Brooklyn for any of the GOP candidates?
With no identifiable and relevant acts or events involving Ghorra and Ghorra's Brooklyn GOP county-wide, any polling results for Brooklyn can't even be shown to have a stocastic link or relationship to Ghorra or Ghorra's Brooklyn GOP, much less any causal link or relationship.
The latest released "internal" McLaughlin poll numbers show that Zeldin is losing ground and losing badly to Hochul, right around "landslide" numbers if that was the result on election day.
To be expected, the numbers against the GOP candidate are far worse in Brooklyn, and the Brooklyn result fits the profile of a big statewide win for the Democrat candidate.
How can Kings County Republican Leader Ghorra think that this latest McLaughlin Poll made public gives his Brooklyn GOP anything for which taking credit makes any sense at all? Taking the blame would be what's more appropriate.
In fact, based on these McLaughlin numbers, if Ghorra were a Japanese "man of honor," he'd be on his knees, in a kimono, with his guts on the floor in front of him, with the bloody small Samurai sword in hand, and waiting the few seconds necessary for his servant to cut off his head with the large sword.
8:21 post demonstrates that Ted’s trolls not only are the dumbest people their lies are even dumber than they are. If Zeldin was polling 40% in Brooklyn he would be in the lead in that poll by at least five points. Teddy is wigging out now that Zeldin’s people know he’s useless.
620
Fake news. Zeldin and Langworthy talkimg to Ghorra and Cats..not Eaton..
Hi 6:20 the fact that Ted making up stories again is not fake news at all but at least you didn’t dispute and acknowledged the part about Ted’s trolls on this blog being dumber than anyone else!
820, is this going to be Ted Ghorra's epitaph, "Ted Ghorra got some Republicans to talk to him in 2022"?
Wow! What a record of accomplishment! Let's erect a monument to Ted Ghorra in Cadman Plaza; but do it ASAP, before all that big time conversing with Republicans gets lost in the ether.
843
Someone is jealous
Uhhhh! Now, that's a little vague.
Who is supposed to be jealous of what, exactly?
843 is jealous Ghorra talks to GOP leaders.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! That was a good one!
316, are you saying that you think that i am jealous of Ted Ghorra talking to Nick Langworthy, Allison Esposito and John Catsimatedes?
You can't be serious; or are you really trying not to be serious? I mean that to be a serious question that I put to you, seriously. Are you really trying to be serious that I or anybody else could be jealous of Ted Ghorra talking to Nick Langworthy, Allison Esposito and John Catsimatedes?
Crying’ Ted!
Cryin' Eaton!
Cryin'out loud; both of you, STOP. PLEASE!
Cryin’ Ted at it again! What is hilarious is that Craig has dinner with the names mentioned above on almost a regular basis. They let Ted in on a conference call with dozens of other people and somehow that’s supposed to impress Craig or anybody else?
118 (or Eaton)
Now craig is spreading fake news to distract that Cats agreed to block him out of the calla with Ghorra, Zeldin and others.
If what 118 (craig) says is true and dozens are includ3ed & Eaton not even more of a knock to craig
Cryin’ Ted has broadened his circle of contacts in Zeldin’s world, after multiple staffers complained of having to hear his complaints non-stop, they’ve now tasked one of their top brightest and most ambitious high school freshman interns to take his calls and promise to even include him on some Zoom meetings as well.

Funny how appropriate “Cryin’ Ted” is. Craig never has called nobody on Zeldin’s team to complain about anyone and he don’t mention Ted, the once Grand Old Party in Brooklyn is dead. Ted owns losing the Marty Golden seat which will never come back, and now shutting up while Bay Ridge is put in five seats for City Council. Craig regularly hangs out with John Cats and doesn’t talks about it, Ted brags to people the rare time he can get John on the phone. Craig handles complex business deals while it’s been said that Ted has his thugs call a 90 year old woman to threaten if she don’t vote for him. Cryin’ Ted!
1250 or craig
Its amazing how u attack Ghorra for losing Marty Golden seat when u were alone among purported GOP leaders in not supporting Marty. Even your purported buddy Cats went against u and supported marty. Ted regilarly hangs out with Cats and doesnt talk about it
Ghorra is poised to win big with Zeldin.
CUMULATIVE EDITORIAL COMMENT: THE "JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE WILL DO THE TRICK" EDITION
WITH JUST OVER A MONTH UNTIL ELEXXXIAN DAY --- THE COMMENTS ABOVE PRETTY MUCH TELL EVERYBODY WHERE THE BROOKLYN GOP UNDER TED GHORRA IS AT THIS MOMENT --- ALMOST BUT NOT QUITE.....
WE MUSTN'T FORGET AND OVERLOOK OUR HARDEST-CORE Q-ANON CONSPIRACY THEORIST, AND J6 CHEERLEADER, MARK SZUSZKIEWICZ --- HE STILL REMAINS PART OF THE TED GHORRA-BROOKLYN GOP BAG OF POLITICAL TRICKS & TREATS --- PROBABLY AS A PLAN "B" FOR CITY COUNCIL IN 2023 ONCE BRIAN FOX GETS BLOWN OUT OF THE WATER IN 2022 (NOTE: IN 2022, SZUSZKIEWICZ' BID TO BE A PLAN "B" AGAINST CHUCK SCHUMER NEVER GOT OUT OF THE HANGAR [NOT ONLY DID IT HAVE NO WINGS, IT HAD NO WHEELS EITHER] SO IT NEVER OFFICIALLY "CRASHED AND BURNED," BUT INSTEAD THE BUILT-AS-WRECKAGE PROTOTYPE SZUSZKIEWICZ CANDIDACY SURVIVED TO BE RE-TOOLED FOR A BUILT-AS-WRECKAGE CANDIDACY FOR THE NEW COUNCILSEAT IN 2023).....
ALSO IN THE COMMENTS ABOVE ON THIS THREAD, ALL OF US REALLY DIDN'T GIVE THE BRROKLYN GOP'S MOST NOTORIOUS "I HATE BROOKLYN AND WISH I LIVED IN CAPE COD ALL YEAR" CANDIDATE FOR THE NY STATE SENATE, VITO LA BELLA, NEARLY HIS DUE --- HE IS DEFINITELY STILL IN THE MIX FOR THIS YEAR'S BROOHLYN GOP CARNAGE STEW.....

>>> With all that said, now you have a better picture of where the Brooklyn GOP is at this moment under Ted Ghorra's leadership <<<
Whoever you are 8:57 that keeps talking to "Craig", I am not Craig. I am just a smart member of the Brooklyn GOP who was a big supporter of Craig and wishes he were the Chairman right now and not this useless Ghorra.
229
Ok craig
Ghorra had dinner with Catsmatedes & Langworthy last night. No Eaton.
Hmmmmm! Just the three of them; now, that's impressive.
But there is nobody that believes Ghorra, Cats and Langworthy sat down last night for dinner together; not even whoever 10:38 AM might be.
323
Just as there is nobody that believes Eaton sit down for dinner with Cats.
Hmmmmmm! Just Craig sitting down with Cats, or possibly Craig Eaton and Bob Capano dining with Cats, either of those is quite impressive. Not only impressive, it's quite credible, and very likely to have happended many times lately and over the years.
Cats doesnt know Eaton or Capano from a hole in the wall..
4;59 sad that little Bobby Capano from Rockland County still posting on this blog
Kassar and Ghorra with Andrea Cats at Union League with Congressman Crenshaw..no sign of Eaton.
One question, 705, So what up wi' dat?
What happened to Nick Chamberas? It is election time and he is not working with one GOP candidate. How can that be for a supposed political consultant??
Oh right, when the people you worked for no longer tLk to you (Malliotakis, Bruno) word spreads.
I was at the Supermarket the other day and this little squirrelly guy kept shoving a food sampler in my face. I looked down real low and realized it was little Bobby Capano, weirdest thing though all the cold cuts smelled like Heineken.
Chamberas is going to take out Quagliome as district leader. Watch.
TIME FOR A SONG: THE "GOP PRISONERS OF LOVE" EDITION
"PRISONERS OF LOVE
BLUE SKIES ABOVE
CAN'T KEEP OUR HEARTS IN JAIL..."
NO ! NO !!! NO !!!!! IT'S 2022 & NOT THE TIME OR PLACE FOR A SHOW TUNE ABOUT THE "PRODUCERS" AND THE BROOKLYN GOP --- BECAUSE IN 2022, THERE AIN'T NO PRODUCERS IN TED GHORRA'S BROOKLYN GOP.....
Stop, look, and listen!
To those that don't know it, Chambers is actually a man with many convictions..... and a sad song about him too..... But since he can't take anybody out where he is now, least of all the new R-train king of the road, John Quaglione, let's give this Chambers-Quaglione thing a bit of a new spin.....
"Ray, it's time for a little travelin' music --- and away we go....."
[Cue Johnny Cash --- with a bit of Frankie Laine later]
He hears the R-train comin', it's rollin' 'round the bend
An' he ain't seen the sunshine, since he don't know when
Chambers got stuck in Folsom Prison, and his time keeps draggin' on
But the R-train keeps a-rollin' just like Quaglione
When Liam was just a baby, his mama told him, "Son,
Always be a good boy, don't ever drink for fun...."
So Liam drank himself so sad, so much, it almost made him die
When Liam hears that R-train sound, he just hangs his head to cry
Meanwhile, Cappy's with the rich folks eatin' Cats's Baluga caviar
'n' drinkin' pails of Heinies, with ole boss Eaton sippin' Dom 'n' smokin' big cigars
But that don't count for much, without all that Cats has got, they just can't go on
But the R-train keeps a-rollin' just like Quaglione
Well, Chambers had it comin', he knows he can't be free
Once he smashed that poor girl's head 'gainst that old park tree
Chambers feels so tortured, always seein' other people movin' on
But mostly it's the R-train's rollin' - rollin' - rollin' just like Quaglione
'Cause the R-train keeps a-rollin' just like Quaglione
Yeah, keep them doggies movin' just like Quaglione.
Sounds like Gale envys Chamberas. Nick is a guy who works behind the scenes yo get things done.
But the R-train keeps a-rollin' just like Quaglione.
Gail seems to really envy him.
Gail, don't you think it's time to cue Creedence?
Sock it to me:
"Rollin' - Rollin' - Rollin' on the R-Train
Johnny got a good job in the city
Workin' for the man every night and day
And he never lost one minute of sleepin'
Worryin' 'bout the way things might have been...
R-Train keep on turnin'
Proud Johnny keep on burnin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the R-Train...."
Nick Chamberas will be the next GOP chair. Take a hike Liam.
5:26 is Bob Capano and it’s so obvious. Life in Rockland must really be that boring. He likes to start shit against people he blame for his losses.
I don't think so, because Cappy's with the rich folks eatin' Cats's Baluga caviar 'n' drinkin' pails of Heinies, with ole boss Eaton sippin' Dom 'n' smokin' big cigars
2 am
If it was Capano wouldnt he say he will be chair not Nick?? Makes no sense..
526 is obviously Nick testing the waters against Liam for chair
How can Chamberas be chair when no Gop elected or candidiate will talk to him?? Liam is the choice.
'Chair' of what, exactly? Since Golden & Ghorra took over after Eaton, there ain't no 'there' there in and for the Brooklyn GOP.
Liam will kick Chambeas ass.
Liam can't be Nick if in rehab which he usually is in around election time each year after a bender..Go Chairman Chamberas!!
Yea I’m sure Liam and Nick are going to draw pistols at dawn to decide who gets the right to lick Jerry’s shoes clean just like Ted for no money. Little Bobby Capano and Gale and his admins from Justin’s office jerking it to bullshit again.
My money is on Liam. He is a first responder. Nick ..well I dont know what Nick does.
Nick sells cell phones & is persona non grata with malliotakis & every other gop past candidiate and current one. Liam wins easy
Nick and Liam don’t come on here if they did they might order a wellness check on little Bobby Capano. R train Heineken Bob said that, I mean having said that I’m sure things are going much better for little Bob now that John Cats is putting him in charge of his new bodega in Rochester.
My money is on Labellas guy fat George to be the next chairman they finally found someone fatter than Richie and dumber than Ted.
908
I find that people that say they "dont come on here" actually do so just stop Nick. You are attacking Liam & as usualy now playing Mr. Good guy and saying you are not.
If what 908 says is true you would have to believe that someone not Liam or Nick called Liam and Nick and asked do you go on this blog and they both said no so this person posted that. Is that really credible? The more likely scenario is 908 is Nick trying to deflect his orchestrated attacks on Liam, Quaglione and Ghorra.
Little Bobby unlike you,Liam and Nick have friends who read your pathetic posts on this blog. Make the most of life in whatever little podunk town that you were banished to. You have no political career and that ain’t got nothing to do with nobody but yourself.
Compared to Capano, Liam and Quaglione, Nick Chamberas is like Karl Rove. Those 3 have done nothing but lose. Nick is a successful private businessman, author, and consultant working for our top GOP leaders like Malliotakis. Nick is the perfext GOP chair
Nick is the leader we need. We dont need no drunks.
722 and 923 (or Nick Chamberas)
You must be a very angry man to be lashing out like that. Did Malliotakis get you upset by not returning your call again
Chamberas had dinner with Malliotakis last night..sorry Liam
Who cares who has dinner with whom?
