Let's refocus away from this year's emerging municipal elections fiasco --- and look at the underlying systemic problem here in NYC

 
No ! No !!!  NO-OH !!!!!   It's NOT racism.....


It's one party rule by increasingly radical and wacko Democrats  ---  or as it is known in popular culture  ---   the coming of the  >>> ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE <<<


Except that these RADICAL AND WACKO DEMOCRAT ZOMBIES aren't plodding slowly forward, they are running faster than we can run to escape  ---  that's why everybody who's still human, good and righteous needs AR-15s and 12-Guages to protect ourselves from them    


WE CAN'T RUN  ---  WE CAN'T HIDE  ---  WE CAN'T TALK OUR WAY OUT OF IT.....     WE HAVE TO STAY AND FIGHT  ---  AND IT'S JUST PLAIN STUPID TO FIGHT TO LOSE, LIKE WE HAVE BEEN LATELY, ESPECIALLY IN BROOKLYN



One of the false narratives of the late Twentieth Century is that there might be an "Escape from New York"  ---  that was fiction;  there ain't no such thing.  What is coming next to/for the rest of our continental noble experiment and great enterprise is the United States of New York City from coast to mountains to plains to mountains to coast, from the Artic Circle to the Pacific and Caribbean Islands.....

And here in Brooklyn, and against the prospect of all that, we have our current crop of Republican and Conservative Party "leaders" to rally all the righteous and the holy for their return from the wilderness of failure and confusion in the face of our relentless foes  ---  for yet another try at momentous glory atop the highest parapet of  the Gothic fortress of New York City  >>>  yes, Brooklyn, the jewel in the crown of the Empire City, of the Empire State, of the Empire nation.....

As we speak, Ted Ghorra has chosen to "rule" as a provisional County Chairman;  and Fran Vella-Marone  --- well, everybody knows how her story goes (just like it has for the last fifty years).  

>>>  Jefferson Davis had more going for him wearing a dress as he tried to rally what might have been left of the Confederacy following Lee's surrender to Grant in Virginia  ---  than Ted Ghorra and company do under their toupees and vainly colored hair <<<

Sure we COULD do it that way.....  What could possibly go wrong  ?????

Davis was not wearing a dress when he was captured in Irwinsville GA. That was Americas first taste of fake news. Davis had on a raincoat. As for Ted I can't vouch for that remnant on his head.

Why do you always lie? Davis never wore a dress. Ted is a different story.

WERE WE AT A SONS OF THE CONFEDERACY & FREE MASONS MEETING TOGETHER ONCE UPON A TIME IN MID-MANHATTAN ??? NO MATTER --- JUST A FLEETING MEMORY.....

The TV version of Jefferson Davis was often repeated, both way back then and right up to the 21st Century.....

For example, this appeared in "American Heritage" Magazine in the 2010 Fall Issue, Volume 60, Issue 3: "Secretary of the Navy Gideon Welles also noted the Confederate president’s capture in his diary: 'Intelligence was received this morning of the capture of Jefferson Davis in southern Georgia. I met [Secretary of War Edwin] Stanton this Sunday P.M. at Seward’s, who says Davis was taken disguised in women’s clothes. A tame and ignoble letting-down of the traitor.'... The story of Jefferson Davis’s capture in a dress took on a life of its own, as one Northern cartoonist after another used his imagination to depict the event. Printmakers published more than 20 different lithographs of merciless caricatures depicting Davis in a frilly bonnet and voluminous skirt, clutching a knife and bags of gold as he fled Union troopers. These cartoons were accompanied with mocking captions, many of them delighting in sexual puns and innuendoes, and many putting shameful words in Davis’s mouth. Over the generations, fact and myth have comingled concerning the details of Davis’s final capture. Had he borrowed his wife’s dress to evade the Union cavalry? How much of the unflattering postcapture [sic] cartoons, news reports, and song lyrics sprang from the deep bitterness Northerners held for the man who symbolized the Confederacy?..."

However, it is also rather clear that Lincoln's Secretary of War Stanton sought to keep the story alive about the Confederate Leader's being at least an opportunistic cross-dresser. One of the reasons that Stanton didn't sell the clothes worn by Jefferson Davis at the time of his arrest to the circus and popular museum impresario PT Barnum was that it would debunk the whole wearing a dress and petticoats thing about the captured Confederate President.....

--- THE PART OF "SOUTH BROOKLYN" THAT COULD EASILY BE CALLED "DEEP SOUTH BROOKLYN" HAS GONE WITH THE WIND AND MARGARET MITCHELL'S ROMANTIC VIEW OF THE ANTE-BELLUM AND CIVL WAR SOUTH ---

I'll bet that nobody would expect to hear that the 21st Century Brooklyn Republican Party, its current plight, and its leader Ted Ghorra might have been symbolically and cryptically immortalized by one very bilious and very deep southerner named Ignatius Reilly in his notes on Boethius --- bound in the Big Chief notebooks stored under his bed.

Brian Zachary Fox will be the first Afro-Latino-Armenian to represent the 43rd Councilmanic District he will make history

IF YOUR BRIAN ZACHARY FOX AND MY BRIAN FOX ARE THE SAME GUY (AND JUST WHO IS BRIAN FOX ???) --- HE NEEDS TO CHANGE HIS CAMPAIGN STYLE AND MESSAGE OR ELSE HE WON'T EVEN CARRY HIS OWN UNIQUE "DEMOGRAPHIC" >>> AFRO-LATINO-ARMENIAN-AMERICAN


You can forget everything about the Afro-Latino-Armenians for now. So far, the Brian Fox' message on social media touting stuff like the miniscule Brooklyn Tea Party, the Urban Conservative podcast, police this 'n' police that, and even his quickie with John Quaglione about a week ago >>> all suggest that Brian Fox is content being a regressive troglodyte pro-cop luddite. <<< Except that the quickie with John Quaglione on the 18th, and this afternoon's Re-tweet of Quaglione's cops against the graffiti nonsense both strongly suggest that Brian might be a hermaphrodite, if hand-jobs count.....

But coming out openly as a hermaphrodite would probably get Brian Fox more votes in November on the Republican and Conservative Party lines than anything else that he seems to be doing right now.....

You could tell that Gale don’t really contribute much to this blog no more. He’s completely ignoring the arse whoopin in court that Teddy and his brain trust took at the hands of some shy awkward guy that look like a teenager.

But I'll bet that Gale knew that Ghorra & Company accidently published a picture of Arnaldo Ferraro on the Brooklyn GOP website not that long ago.

The conservative party is not exactly conservative or a party but if I may be so bold as to suggest that we unite to get the ASPCA on to that thing on Teds head.

Is Arnaldo the guy from the 49th?

ONE OF THIS BLOG'S MAJOR CONTRIBUTORS AND SUPPORTERS LIVES ON STATEN ISLAND PROPERTY THAT WAS ONCE PART OF THE "...TYLER ESTATE" --- AS IN, OWNED BY THE FIRST LADY, WIFE AND WIDOW OF THE 10TH PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES JOHN TYLER

John Tyler came from a prominent Virginia family of slaveholders, coming to national prominence at a time of political upheaval over the expansion of slavery into the west, arguments over states' rights, including "nullification" and "secession," and contrariwise, pressures for the national abolition of slavery.

Like this blog's main contributor in Staten Island, Tyler was initially a Democrat. However, Tyler bolted from Andrew Jackson and his party during the "Nullification Crisis," because Tyler saw Jackson's actions as an infringement upon states' rights. Tyler also openly criticized President Jackson's expansion of executive power during the "Bank War"; all of which led to Tyler's alliance with the Whig Party, which largely broke down during his presidency.

Tyler served as a Virginia state legislator, governor, U.S. representative, and U.S. senator prior to becoming Vice President and then President of the United States. When the American Civil War began in 1861, Tyler sided with the Confederacy and won election to the Confederate House of Representatives shortly before his death.

Always a Virginian, John Tyler, the 10th President, was the first U.S. President to be married during his time in the White House, when he married Julia Gardiner, whose family [one of the richest in New York State and the rest of the country] owned large properties on Staten Island [now including Clove Lakes Park, Saint Peter's Cemetery and other parts of West Brighton].

President John Tyler’s widow, Julia Gardiner Tyler, resided in her Staten Island house during the Civil War. She moved there shortly after Tyler's death in 1862, and lived there during that war and sometime thereafter. Even though she was born in New York, Julia Gardiner Tyler was an ardent supporter the Confederacy, as were many New York City residents. The Gardiner Tyler Mansion is located at 27 Tyler Avenue, Staten Island; it's between Bement Avenue and Clove Road, was constructed circa 1835 for the Gardner family when most of the surrounding area consisted of farmland, fields and woods.

John and Julia Tyler are buried in Richmond, Virginia, not in the Staten Island cemetery directly in front of Gardener Tyler House. --- It should be noted that although Richmond County New York is also known as Staten Island, President and Julia Tyler are definitely buried in a plot in the Commonwealth of Virginia.

Yes Tyler did interesting things.

Many New Yorkers did support the confederacy. NY'ers like the Mayor Fernando Wood and the NYC Council that voted to leave the union and join the confederacy. The publisher of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle was jailed by Lincoln for publishing material deemed to be sympathetic to the CSA.
