Trump showed everybody that watched the debate that he is in charge NOW and ready to stay in charge AFTER NOVEMBER, DECEMBER, JANUARY --- WHENEVER !!!

The base loves Trump's debate performance  ---  he pushed Biden and Wallace around for most of ninety-six minutes on stage  ---  he showed everybody that he was the boss  ---  NOT Chris Wallace and CERTAINLY NOT Joe Biden   

And, the most quoted line in the debate  ---  Trump's  caveat to the Alt-right Proud Boys:  "Stand back and stand by..."

And what from Biden  ---  mostly a shit-eating grin and a nervous laugh  ---  and throwing Bernie and "The Green New Deal" under the bus  ---  Biden's saying "I am the Democrat... Party"  ---  and general confusion for himself and his followers

Biden's next day at Alliance, Ohio, during Biden's whistle-stop speech and (answers to four questions), his remarks & demeanor were certainly not those of a winner

 

Meanwhile, Trump and his team are quite happy chest-thumping and even doing a bit of a victory lap

Everybody among the Democrats and the MSM is talking about Trump's remark about/to the "Proud Boys" to "Stand back and stand by..."  

So far, nothing from Trump and/or his campaign to "clarify" that.....  

[[[[  See my comment below  "UPDATE & BACKFILL: THE ' "'PROUD BOY MOMENT IN THE TRUMP-BIDEN DEBATE --- AND THE AFTERMATH' EDITION" by Galewyn Massey at October 1, 2020 ]]]]

Almost a month has passed and Ratso Vito Bruno hasn't responded.....

In early September, supporters of Democrat State Senator put out another mailer about Vito Bruno's checkered and overly colorful past  ---  this was the one, which was first about NYC & NYS efforts to shut down one of Vito's clubs for continuing violence, like multiple stabbings and shootings, and second went after the failure of Vito's businesses to pay fair and proper taxes.....

My Democrat sources have informed me that neither Ratso Vito Bruno nor his campaign have answered any of the charges raised in that second mailer in any meaningful way.....

Isn't Vito Bruno and/or the Bruno for State Senate campaign going to do anything to try to stop the bleeding ?????

BTW, don't forget that right after the first pro-Gounardes, anti-Vito Bruno mailer had knocked the ill-chosen Republican-Conservative nominee onto his ass, I informed all my readers that other mailers amplifying the first were already locked into place.

In line with all of that, there is more of the same coming.....

Look at some of Vito's Bruno's old and new "Freestyle Free For All Event" promotions

EVERYBODY NEEDS TO IGNORE THE NONSENSE  >>>  that it's been more than forty years ago since Ratso Vito Bruno's  businesses  were involved in the very violent world of sex, drugs & rock'n'roll  <<<

It was only last year that a Vito Bruno "Freestyle Free For All Event" was presented at the former Taj Mahal in AC, 1000 Boardwalk, Atlantic City, NJ 08401, involving a variety of new business associates at the same venue, now known as the Hard Rock Casino [another "Freestyle Free For All Event" had been planned for 2020, but that trail seems to have gone cold.....  However, another is planned for March, 2021];  and it was less than ten years ago that Mr. Bruno was promoting a gansta-hip-hop group at one of those Taj Mahal "Freestyle Free For All Events" whose only "hit" was a chant about violence, sex, drugs and rock'n'roll.....

Don't forget that Vito Bruno's main business interests have almost always been under the same name, banner and style  >>>  "AM/PM..." <<<  the name of Vito Bruno's unlawful violent sex, drugs& rock'n'roll after hours club from the 80s.....     

And we should all know that in 2013 Vito Bruno said this:  "...  Long live the club world"   >>>  THAT WAS A WORLD OF VIOLENCE, SEX, DRUGS & ROCK'N'ROLL  <<<

Here's just one of the offending lyrics from Vanilla Ice's song "Ice Ice Baby" in a Vito Bruno produced and promoted event, "Freestyle Free for All" in 2011:  
"....  Girls were hot wearing less than bikinis...   Rockman lovers driving Lamborghinis...   Jealous 'cause I'm out getting mine...   Shay with a gauge and Vanilla with a nine...  Ready for the chumps on the wall...  The chumps acting ill because they're so full of 'Eight Ball'...  Gunshots rang-ed out like a bell...  I grabbed my nine, all I heard was shells... Falling on the concrete real fast...  Jumped in my car, slammed on the gas...   Bumper to bumper, the avenue's packed...   I'm trying to get away before the jackers jack...  Police on the scene, you know what I mean...   They passed me up, confronted all the dope fiends...."

In 2013, here's what Vito Bruno had to say with respect to conducting his business activities going forward:  "....  [Interviewer]:  What are your future plans within the business?...   Bruno: I'd like to end this whole thing still in the business, making records and producing events. Long live the club world!"  ( See "Sitting Down With A Nightlife Event Guru" by Steve Lewis,  5/7/2013,  "bar & restaurant"/ Music & Entertainment     [https://www.barandrestaurantexpo.com/music-entertainment/sitting-down-a-nightlife-event-guru]).

The so-called "Freestyle Free For All Event[s]" have been well-described by Ratso Vito Bruno himself as this:  Freestyle events [as of May 2013] are now seated concerts events that have hard tickets. As you know freestyle began in Inferno, which is a combination of music from The Loft, Paradise Garage and the Roxy that came together with a Spanish flare. DJ Morales skillfully blended the music back in the 80's. Back eight or nine years ago I brought all the acts to dinner and stated that I wanted to put them in a section of Beatstock as a seated event. Without burning the acts out, we built the segment up nicely and after two years we brought it out on its own. The ticket sales were strong and now these events are very good. We just sold out a freestyle show at Radio City a few weeks ago. The demographic is typically Spanish and Italian but we are seeing an influx of other demographics and generations. The music is retro, but a lot of the 80's music is coming back. Some of the new songs have an 80's vibe to them...."  (See the 2013 Steve Lewis interview of Vito Bruno, cited immediately above).

These "Freestyle Free for All Event[s]" have proliferated like mushrooms on a dirt floor in a damp cellar.  They have been recurring events at the "Taj..." and now the "Hard Rock..." in AC, as well as lesser venues all over the place [as stated in the headnotes above, they are scheduled well into the future (presently in AC for March, 2021)].....

Interestingly,  there are social media sites that regularly carry posts and Tweets about the "Freestyle Free for All Events" like  >>>  https://www.facebook.com/FreestyleFreeforAll/  <<< .....   That particular site is FUND RAISING FOR VITO BRUNO'S 2020 STATE SENATE CAMPAIGN; and that site links directly to the Vito Bruno for State Senate fundraising site  >>> https://secure.anedot.com/bruno-for-senate/donate?fbclid=IwAR1KPg_obTMvISnTTR0Od4ouCJq9wSfVP2sSsdPPxObz5dCnLRiLoMJ9ZSk  <<<

Is Nicole Malliotakis an absolute moron ??? Or does she think everybody in her electorate in Brooklyn and Staten Island are ?????

Nicole Malliotakis made the completely hollow political promise that her first bill after being elected to congress will be to fully fund the NYPD  ---  I kid you not  ---  I'd love to see what such a proposal would look like as a "bill"

Does Nicole Malliotakis even have the slightest idea what her duties and abilities as a newly-elected Member of the U.S. Congress might be ???

Does she even have a clue what goes into the budgeting process for grants to police departments in places like New York City ?????

On top of that,  Nicole got into a whole bunch of gibberish malarkey about cross-deputizing NYC Police Officers as "Federales"; and putting federal money into something she called "guaranteed lockboxes for public safety and security" to ensure that funding for the NYPD never decreases.  

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA !!!   Nicole, you make big joke for everybody to laugh.....

Much more likely, GOP-Conservative Party Candidate for Congress Nicole Malliotakis seems to know nothing about the duties of a U.S. Congressperson,  how congressional budgeting works, the basics of Federalism, or how someone like herself might even begin go about obtaining targeted funding for local projects or local governmental activities. 

"FILL THAT SEAT !" --- "FILL THAT SEAT !!!" --- "FILL THAT SEAT !!!!!"

 

PRESIDENT TRUMP PROMISED A CROWD IN FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. THAT HE WOULD NAME A WOMAN TO THE VACANT  "RGB"  SEAT ON THE SUPREME COURT BY NEXT WEEK.....   AND THE CROWD WENT WILD  ---  SHOUTING,  "FILL THAT SEAT !"  ---   "FILL THAT SEAT !!!"  ---   "FILL THAT SEAT !!!!!"

Democrats and the MSM are universally in high dudgeon, running, running hither-dither with their hair on fire  ---  NOT REALLY KNOWING WHAT TO DO  ---  THEY ARE THREATENING ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING..... 

SO, REPUBLICANS AND OTHER TRUMP SUPPORTERS NEED TO BE  >>> READY TO PUSH BACK HARD <<<  AGAINST ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING

Just remember this:  President Trump has the legal authority to name a person to sit on the Supreme Court of the United States with the cooperation [[[but not "Advice and Consent]]] of one person alone,  Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell  ---  And that process probably will be used if anything causes the "Advise and Consent" procedure to be sidetracked in any way.....

It's time to take a closer look at Vito Bruno's tenure at the West Side Club 1018

 

Here's a closer look at the Ratso Vito Bruno of the past [and  present ???].....

Vito Bruno got his start in New York City's nightlife business with the 2001 Odyssey in Brooklyn, in an industrial niche between corners of Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights, Sunset Park and Boro Park.  Here's Ratso Vito Bruno in 1991 striking a seductive Chelsie-Westside pose on a retro-themed couch just off the main dance floor at a night club run by Vito called "Glamorama,"  which was located at 229 West 28th Street in Manhattan. Over the years, Ratso Bruno jumped between being a club promoter, manager, and principal operator of many, many down and dirty clubs, including the infamous after hours joint "AM/PM," where John Belushi circled the drain before Vito Bruno flushed him to his death as far, far away from "his good friend" Vito as possible.  Later on,  Vito Bruno founded the event and production entertainment company, interestingly also called "AM/PM"  that sponsored socially irresponsible outlaw raves that would popup in various neighborhoods around the City of NY.  Now, Ratso Vito Bruno has reinvented himself, as he had predicted many years ago to a Hollywood muckraker slumming with Vito in NYC.....  

>>>  as a family values, social conservative pitching "Law and Order"  [the concept not the popular TV series] <<<.

...   But, let's go back a few years before the Vito Bruno depicted above.  According to insider reports, Vito Bruno ran the club venue named "1018," (formerly anther Vito Bruno associated club, "The Roxy") located at 10th Avenue and 18th Street pretty far west in Chelsea,  starting in October 1986 with a business associate name Eugene DiNino (and possibly DiNino's sister, Rosalie Schupp).   By June of 1987, Vito Bruno and Gene DiNino were bragging to a very significant city-wide magazine covering NYC nightlife that they were "moving" 7000 folks through their "1018" on weekends  ---  of which, over 6000 were regular paying customers and not freebie VIPs.

Since Vito is being described to one and all during his 2020 campaign as a "businessman,"  Vito's business dealings and associations  back in the heyday of sex, drugs & rock'n'roll shouldn't be ignored, while we try to unpack the real life's work of the man called Ratso Vito,  now running for the state senate on the Republican and Conservative lines as a "family values, social conservative pitching 'Law and Order'..."

 

Vito Bruno is as useful as a broken clock, but even a broken clock does have some uses

 

They say that even a stopped clock is right twice a day.....  And that's probably true

Republican-Conservative challenger Vito Bruno seems to have found a real issue with which to hammer his Democrat opponent Andrew Gounardes, the incumbent State Senator for the 22nd S.D.  ---   Here's what Mr. Bruno posted on his social media earlier today:

"... Our State Senator Andrew Gounardes talks a good game, but when it came to protecting seniors in our nursing homes, Gounardes bowed to the party bosses and supported immunity for unscrupulous nursing home operators. #TimeForChange...."

In my zeal to kill the messenger, I would hate to kill such an important message.

SO TAKE NOTICE: THIS IS A VERY LEGITIMATE MESSAGE --- AND --- IT IS VERY IMPORTANT

Just remember that "... even a stopped clock is right twice a day".....

Bob Capano unethically wrote a column in a Brooklyn Newspaper that tried to change the real personal history of Ratso Vito Bruno

 

Bob Capano exceeded the bounds of fair comment, opinion, or even spin  ---  on September 10th of this year,  Capano knowingly lied about who Vito Bruno is, who and what Vito Bruno has been, and what Vito Bruno has done and said.....

Here's the most offensive and deceptive material from Bob Capano's September 10th column:  

"....  Probably sensing his vulnerability on public safety, Gounardes just sent out an attack mailer saying Bruno “welcomed drug dealers,” 'harbored violent criminals,' and 'celebrated corruption' because he ran nightclubs in the 1970s....   The mailing shows newspaper clippings with these headlines and leads people to believe Bruno ran the clubs where these alleged crimes occurred. The GOP candidate, however, maintains he was long gone from any role with the establishments cited when these violent crimes took place....  You don’t need a PhD in political science to figure out that Gounardes is trying to weaken Bruno’s law and order platform by focusing on alleged criminal activities from 40 years ago, rather than the crime happening under our noses today...."  (See "OPINION: BROOKLYN STATE SENATE RACE A BELLWETHER FOR GOP RESURGENCE IN ALBANY" by Bob Capano,  9/10/2020,  The Brooklyn Paper/  Opinion   [https://www.brooklynpaper.com/opinion-brooklyn-state-senate-race-a-bellwether-for-gop-resurgence-in-albany/]).

The fact is that what Vito Bruno did back in the "1970s" according to Bob Capano, actually took place in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s  ---  and if you look at everything that Vito Bruno has said since then about those days,  it's fair to infer that the same kinds of crimes which were happening all around Vito's nose in those days are "crime(s) happening under [Vito's and] our noses today...."

Talk about "....  alleged criminal activities from 40 years ago, rather than the crime happening under our noses today...."  Vito Bruno virtually admitted to all of his past misdeeds in a recent interview with the New York Daily News.  So Bob Capano is being quite deceptive when he uses the word "alleged" while referring to Ratso Vito Bruno's misdeeds covering more than forty years  ---  the correct word is "admitted"  not "alleged."

When he was confronted by a News' interviewer with charges that he hosted illegal “outlaw” parties that raged into the morning hours at a variety of sites across the city, hiring known gang members to work as security for those "outlaw" parties, giving large sums of cash to cops at Christmas to turn a blind eye to his activities, getting drugs for celebrities at his after hours club and generally being the kind of guy,  who believes he is above the law and openly discusses how he’s broken it,  this is how the Daily News reporter quoted Vito Bruno''s response  ---  “They’re going back 40 years to find stuff and you know what I think they’re wasting their money on that stuff because it’s all been published....  They keep going back to 40 years ago, I think none of us are the same as we were 40 years ago....”  (See  "Vito Bruno, music insider and former nightclub owner, claims he’ll bring ‘law and order’ to Brooklyn Senate race"  by Denis Slattery,  9/27/2020,  NY Daily News/ Politics/ News   [https://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/ny-vito-bruno-law-and-order-nightclub-owner-eighties-outlaw-20200727-czwnqknwbzdzbaoezihkfnjcoe-story.html]).  

Any place that you might go from a courtroom, to the desk of a criminal investigator, to a stenographer taking down a statement as part of a deal or as testimony to be used in court, to a street corner,  to any Bay Ridge bar like Skinflints, The Salty Dog, Pippins or the Bean Post or in a city wide or even a Brooklyn newspaper,  that is called  >>>  AN ADMISSION.....   AND THAT IS ONLY THE MOST RECENT SUCH ADMISSION BY VITO BRUNO OF HIS LONG HISTORY OF BAD DEEDS  ---  THERE ARE COUNTLESS OTHERS.....

Bob Capano knows all of that,  but he needed to cover it up to help Vito Bruno.....

SO BOB DID THE MOST DEADLY AND UNETHICAL THING FOR A JOURNALIST,  EVEN A  JOURNALIST WRITING AN OPINION COLUMN  >>>   USING HIS COLUMN AS A PLATFORM,  BOB CAPANO LIED TO EVERYBODY ABOUT VITO BRUNO  <<<

To make it even worse, I think that Bob Capano did it to advance his own selfish political plans involving 2021.....

It's time for Republicans and other supporters of President Donald Trump to push back hard on all the >>> Left's Lies <<< about Trump's COVID-19 performance

 
By most MSM accounts, when President Donald Trump privately spoke to journalist Bob Woodward starting on Feb. 7, he said that the corona virus was “deadly stuff” transmitted by air, a threat “more deadly” than the flu, the warnings around him from a variety of briefings had been rampant  ---  for example,  by that time WH National Security Adviser Robert O’Brien had told Trump that COVID-19 would be the “largest national security crisis of your presidency”;  that top trade adviser Peter Navarro was tasked with drafting urgent pleas to manufacture more medical supplies and personal protective gear in the U.S.;  and other senior aides to the President were organizing meetings about the potential severity and spread of a pandemic......

So far so good  ---  Woodward's report is a confirmation that President Trump was on top of the emergent COVID-19 pandemic and several powder kegs in the American economy, American society and various aspects of the American polity  ---  BUT IT CAME  WITH   >>>  a very false narrative that rises to the level of "A BIG LIE"  <<<   that President Trump was not leveling with the American public about COVID-19.....

>>>  Inform yourself and be prepared to push back against the Trump-deranged Democrats and other leftists and their COVID-19 lies  <<<

 Here is some stuff for you to start with:            

                                                                                                                                

The generally accepted timeline is that, at the time, the first known case of COVID-19 in the United States was confirmed in the state of Washington on January 20, 2020. (That case was a 35-year-old man who had returned from Wuhan, China on January 15. 2020).   The White House Corona Virus Task Force was formally established on January 29. On January 30, the WHO declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern; and on January 31, the Trump administration declared a public health emergency in the United States, and placed travel restrictions on entry for general travelers from China.  

The White House Corona Virus Task Force  is also referred to as the President's Corona Virus Task Force, it was established on January 29, 2020. On February 26, 2020, Vice President Mike Pence was named as the chairman of the task force, and Doctor Deborah Birx was named the response coordinator.  The so-called "White House Task Force" is formally a United States Department of State task force that "coordinates and oversees the administration's efforts to monitor, prevent, contain, and mitigate the spread" of the corona virus disease (aka COVID-19; aka SARS-CoV-2). 

Without a doubt, early on President Trump did make many equivocal and contradictory statements about the emergent Corona Virus pandemic  ---  nonetheless, the Trump Administration was making the best information (other than what was still secret confidential intelligence and diplomatic data) available to the public in a timely fashion from very early in the process.....

For example on January 26th, Dr. Anthony Fauci stated publicly that the new virus is a low risk to everyday Americans, but is something that public health officials need to take “very seriously.”  He warned that, while some Corona Virus strains cause the common cold, the ones that jump from animals to humans, like the new strain of the Corona Virus coming out of China, could be deadly; and those kinds of deadly strains had caused serious outbreaks over the past 20 years. Nonetheless,  he expressed hope that good public health measures could contain the most recent outbreak. 

It also needs to be noted that as early as February 9th (two days after President Trump's first interview with Bob Woodward), representatives of President Trump's Corona Virus Task Force provided an update at the National Governors Association winter meeting about the U.S. response to the Corona Virus outbreak up to that date.  That session was hosted by Governors' Association Chairman Governor Larry Hogan and was attended by a bipartisan group of more than 25 U.S. governors. The governor's panel and the Task Force reiterated that while Corona Virus was a serious public health matter, the risk to the American public remained low at that time, and that the federal government would continue working in close coordination with state and local governments to keep it that way.

As for the Bob Woodward "revelations" in his book  "Rage"  ---   none of that is really news.....   As early as a March 17th 2020 press conference (on the same day as Trump's last interview with Woodward),  President Donald Trump said this   >>>  “This is a pandemic....   I felt it was a pandemic long before it was called a pandemic.....”  <<<

Almost as important,  yesterday, Dr. Anthony Fauci largely defended President Trump vis a vis Woodward's claims related to Trump's statements about COVID-19.  Dr. Fauci said that he never heard the president distort the facts on the virus.  He also disputed several of the quotes about President Trump attributed to Fauci by Bob Woodward,  as contained in Woodward's book. 

Whose idea was it to throw the swag 9/11 Memorial event at the McKinley Park flagpole ???

 

What a fiasco !!!  What an embarrassment !!!!!

What was the point ?????

Were  the planners trying to see if they could organize and publicize an event that would only be attended by a small hand full of Brooklyn  GOP and Conservative  Party insiders and almost nobody else ?  If so,  they certainly succeeded beyond anybody's wildest expectations.....

Cancerous Bruno Campaign turns to high dosage radiation therapy to stop the bleeding after Gounardes' team mailer quickly ravages Bruno and his cohorts

My Floyd Patterson-Sonny Liston analogy was not even close to describing the damage done to the Ratso Vito Bruno campaign and Ratso's personal prospects going forward in politics  ---   Now, it looks like a more apt analogy is  [whispered, but with emphasis]  >>>  CANCER !!!

A quick look at Vito Bruno's social media shows clearly that blood is squishing out of the Bruno operation more than President Trump's description of Megan Kelly four years ago.....

If you missed the up to the minute reports about this last week on this blog and elsewhere,  it was all caused by the mailer sent out by the Gounardes Campaign last week detailing GOP State Senate Candidate Ratso Vito Bruno's exploits as an unscrupulous manager and promoter of a variety of outlaw sex, drugs, and rock'n'roll clubs and events that regularly ran afoul of various levels of law enforcement and other city, state and federal governmental agencies  >>>  one of Bruno's own sites even suggests that an association with the 1980s conspirators made famous in the movie "Goodfellas" would not be out of the question*

A quick skim of Vito Bruno's social media like Facebook and Twitter will show sites whose main color is blood red.....  And it's all couched in unfocused  blunderbuss and un-targeted attacks on Mayor deBlasio as much as Andrew Gounardes  ---  the obvious question is:  "WHY ???"  ---  and the obvious answer is that the Gounardes team made Bruno and company bleed prodigiously with last week's killer mailer to voters.

So what is the Vito team doing to stop the bleeding ???   Intense but unfocused radiological  therapy, because what has hit the Bruno campaign is worse than a bad cancer that metastasized all over the place.....

_________________

* Actually, I think that Vito's own mention of the 1980s Lufthansa Heist was an overreach in bragging  ---  even for him.  ---  Nonetheless, since it's a holiday weekend,  how about some "Goodfellas" soundtrack nostalgia:

[Cue the Ronettes version]

Frosty the snowman
Was a jolly happy soul
With a corncob pipe and a button nose
And two eyes made out of coal

Frosty the snowman is a fairy tale they say
He was made of snow
But the children know
How he came to life one day

There must have been some magic in that
Old silk hat they found
For when they placed it on his head
He began to dance around

O Frosty the snowman
Was alive as he could be
And the children say he could laugh and play
Just the same as you and me

He led them down the streets of town
Right to the traffic cop
And he only paused a moment when
He heard him holler "Stop!"

Frosty the snowman

Had to hurry on his way
But he waved goodbye saying "Don't you cry
I'll be back again some day"

(Frosty the snowman) Ohh-ohh
(Frosty the snowman) Ohh-ohh
(Frosty the snowman) Oh
(Frosty the snowman) Oh-oh
(Frosty the snowman) Ohh, oh-oh
(Frosty the snowman) Oh, yeah
(Frosty the snowman) Don't cry, oh-ohh
(Frosty the snowman) Oh, yeah

Joe Biden doubles down on the Trump-Atlantic Magazine flap about American Military Heroes --- but keeps providing B-reel material to the Trump Campaign

 

My favorite moment was when Creepy Joe Biden made a very lascivious hand gesture, wiggling the tips of his fingers with his hands up-turned  ---  in a "Come here little girl..." way

He also once badly fumbled over his many mentions of his deceased son, Beau Biden, in his on-again-and-off-again feigned anger over what he said he "believed" Trump had said about the military and its  deceased heroes  ---  this blunder was very interesting, because Biden said that the Delaware National Guard had given him a Gold Star Parent's Badge, but he said he had left it at home  ---  the problem with that is that Joe Biden is NOT a Gold Star Parent

The Biden Campaign,  the main stream media, and Democrats generally think they have campaign gold in an article in the "Atlantic" magazine about certain Donald Trump behaviors and remarks about some of the nations military heroes.  

However, the fast and very effective push back by Trump and his supporters rather quickly stifled the whole thing on day one.  Even the apparent confirmation by Jennifer Griffin was quite equivocal on the main quote in the Atlantic Magazine article;  and as to the other material, her sources were as anonymous as those in the very thinly sourced Atlantic Magazine piece.

Don't forget that the SWAG 9/11 Memorial Event --- whose lead "guest" is Ratso Vito Bruno --- will be this weekend at the "McKinley Park Flagpole"

 ---  neither on 9/11 nor at the official Bay Ridge 9/11 Memorial on the 69th Street Pier [at Bay Ridge Avenue & Shore Road].....

This is a major signal that the Malliotakis-Bruno campaigns, and the Brooklyn GOP and Conservative Party have written-off the core of Bay Ridge as  >>> permanently lost <<<  to the Bay Ridge Dems and allied community groups

Marty Golden, the Brooklyn GOP and Conservative Party lost the "Battle of the Streets" in Bay Ridge in 2018  ---  Vito Bruno and Nicole Malliotakis, and those very same political groups, are well on their way to losing the "Battle of the Streets" in Bay Ridge in 2020

As a matter of background, in 2018  State Senator Marty Golden did not carry a single election district in Bay Ridge, including the Shore Road & Ft. Hamilton H.S. areas where he, and most of the leading members and leaders of the Brooklyn GOP live.

Michael Forest Reinoehl, the admitted ANTIFA killer of Trump supporter Aaron Danielson in Portland, was shot dead by Federal Officers in the State of Washington

 

ANTIFA supporter Michael Forest Reinoehl was killed Thursday night in Lacey, Washington by federal law enforcement officers, who were attempting to arrest Reinoehl in connection with the fatal shooting of a pro-Trump activist in Portland, Oregon over the weekend, according to multiple mainstream and conservative media outlets

It was also reported that an officer assigned to the task force sent to arrest Reinoehl shot him dead as he pulled a firearm while authorities attempted to take him into custody

Michael Forest Reinoehl attended several Black Lives Matter protests since the killing of George Floyd according to his Instagram page. It was reported that Reinoehl was a person of interest in the Danielson shooting, although local authorities in Portland had previously refused to confirm Reinhoehl was a suspect in the case.

Yesterday, in the broadcast of a video interview of  Michael Forest Reinoehl on Vice News [rebroadcast on several platforms including various programs on Fox News],  Reinhoehl clearly indicated that he did shoot Aaron Danielson.

Brooklyn GOP politically weaponizes 9/11 Memorial Event --- by launching an event that competes with the long -time memorial event held on the 69th Street Pier

The flyer announcing a Friday evening gathering at the "McKinley Park Flagpole" demonstrates the obviously partisan political nature of the event  ---  supposedly to honor 9/11 victims  ---  jointly sponsored by the Brooklyn Tea Party and Glen Nocera, along with Vito Bruno, Nicole Malliotakis, along with others like Marty Golden


Meanwhile, the more traditional and longstanding event at the 9/11 Memorial on the 69th Street Pier is still scheduled to go forward 

There can be no real explanation for the dueling events other that pure and naked politics by the people mentioned above.  It's clear that Vito Bruno had a hand in this with Glen Nocera,  because Vito Bruno topped the lists of "Special Guests"  ---  ahead of the mention of the names of Nicole Malliotakis and Marty Golden.....  Interestingly, the flyer that I was given misidentified the location of McKinley Park  (I don't know if that error was caught and corrected at any point.....).

A local leader in Bay Ridge said this is just "Low !!!"  And elsewhere the words 'Just wrong" were used about the event inexplicably being held away from the formal 9/11 Monument on the 69th Street Pier and the traditional ceremonies being held there this year, just like last year, and the year before that, and the year before that,  etc., etc., etc.,  and so forth.....

Biden temporarily shuts down active campaigning after one day of limited public campaigning in Pittsburgh --- more evidence that the Presidential debates are still in question vis a vis the Biden Campaign

Sunday and yesterday, the Biden campaign ruled out a trip to Kenosha  ---  today,  it put a "lid on" any public campaigning whatsoever.....


Biden's very limited public roll-out in the Pittsburgh market seem's to have exhausted his personal usefulness to the campaign  ---  possibly because he was physically and mentally exhausted himself by even that limited campaigning


His gaff-filled, and now much criticized, Pittsburgh speech was more useful as a B-reel for Fox News and Republican ad makers than it was for Democrats  or the Biden Campaign  ---  especially Biden's verbal confusion during one of the keynote moments in the speech dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic

According to a transcript of  the prepared remarks which had been loaded into the teleprompter for Biden to read were these words   >>> “COVID has taken more lives this year than any outbreak in more than 100 years. More than 180,000 lives in just six months. An average of 1,000 people dying every day in the month of August.” <<<

Instead, this is what Joe Biden actually did say for all the world to see and hear:  “COVID has taken this year— just since the outbreak— has taken more than 100 year— look, here’s— the lives, it’s just, it’s just, I mean think about it— more lives this year than any other year....” Biden said.

As if that weren't bad enough for the Biden folks; yesterday, on Fox's "Your World With Neil Cavuto,"  Charles Gasparino reported that most of the big Democrat donors on Wall Street wanted the Biden Campaign to use any excuse possible for Biden to duck the debates with President Trump  ---  Gasparino even mentioned that the big money Democrat donors suggested "demands" to be presented to the Commission on Presidential Debates by the Biden Campaign that would necessarily be rejected by the Trump Campaign ushering in the Biden Campaign's refusal to go forward at that point.....
