Sure, it's not the New York Times, NY Post or Daily News >>> However, the "Gothan Gazette" ain't nuhthin'..... About an hour ago --- the "Gothan Gazette" became the first lttle bit of media to actually compare Brian Fox and Justin Brannan
 |
| Democrat Councilman Justin Brannan (Far left) and Republican Brian Fox (Alt-right) |
Let's see what the GG had to say about these two pachydermatic characters vying for the NY City Council seat for the 43rd Council District:
"Justin Brannan, a first-term Democrat from southern Brooklyn, wants to be the next speaker of the City Council. But first he must win his reelection race in District 43 against Republican nominee Brian Fox, a controversial candidate with a history of sharing conspiracy theories and misinformation espoused by the alt-right...."
(See "In Southern Brooklyn, Democratic City Council Member and Speaker Hopeful Tries to Hold Off Republican Challenger" by Samar Kurshid, 10/21/2021, Gotham Gazette/ City [https://www.gothamgazette.com/city/10839-democratic-city-council-member-brannan-republican-fox-southern-brooklyn]).
Wow, it seems like the article's author pretty much gave Brian Fox a free ride (probably because Fox convinced Samar Kurshid that he was some kind of Assyrian, Bessarabian, or other brand of Pan-Islamist wolf hiding in sheeps' clothing --- and convincing Mr. Samar Kurshid that "take back our neighboods" really meant declaring Bay Ridge, Brooklyn >>> Bay Ridge, Brookarabia).
Anybody that follows this blog knows that Brian Fox isn't just >>> "... a controversial candidate with a history of sharing conspiracy theories and misinformation espoused by the alt-right..." <<< >>> Fox is a controversial candidate with a history of sharing unfounded conspiracy theories made up by his campaign brain trust on an almost daily basis, and propagating absolute misinformation about himself, where he came from, what he has done in life, what he believes in, and why he believes it.
UPDATE & BACKFILL: THE "ON SECOND THOUGHT" EDITION
ReplyDeletePERHAPS WE AT THIS INDEPENDENT REPUBLICAN BLOG WERE SOMEWHAT HASTY IN SAYING THAT THE AUTHOR OF THE GOTHAM GAZETTE PIECE, SAMAR KURSHID >>> "... PRETTY MUCH GAVE BRIAN FOX A FREE RIDE...."
A LOT OF THE CHARGES LEVELLED AT FOX BY "RADIO FREE BAY RIDGE" WERE FAIRLY STATED IN THE GOTHAM GAZETTE PIECE --- AND MANY OF THE THINGS THAT FOX AND/OR HIS SPOKESPERSON SAID TO SAMAR KURSHID APPARENTLY WERE TAKEN WITH A GRAIN OF SALT BY THE AUTHOR
We here at "The Brooklyn & Staten Island Independent GOP Fountainhead" do take issue with the following: ".... Brian Fox... is a local entrepreneur and runs Phillip Martin Talent Advisors, a recruitment and contracting firm that he founded last year...." That is the only bit of biographical information or work history in Samar Kurshid's article. Unfortunately, it isn't very likely to be very true.
As with so many claims by Fox, the claim that he is a "local entrepreneur" is far more false than it is true. There is no evidence whatsoever that Brian Fox ever invested any of his own money in any local business or businesses. Nor is there any evidencce whatsoever that Brian Fox ever expected to make any profit(s) off of any local business or businesses. Phillip Martin Talent Advisors is not a "local business" >>> It is a foreign (out-of-state) business that might or might not be doing or conducting business anywhere in New York State. How or why it might be named after "Phillip Martin" is anybody's guess. --- Maybe, he's somebody that lives in Wyoming....
This is what the GOP deserves for passing up Bob Capano. Admit it Gale. Fox or Capano?
ReplyDeleteI'll take Fox.
ReplyDeleteFox is way better than Bob.
ReplyDeleteAND THIS FROM BRIAN FOX: THE "JUST HOW RELIABLE IS THIS ???" EDITION
ReplyDeleteTHIS REMARK WAS IN THE LATEST "BRIAN FOX FOR CITY COUNCIL" POSTING ON FACEBOOK: "MAJOR DEVELOPMENTS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS COMING SOON AS WE CONTINUE TO FIGHT THE BATTLE FOR SANE LEADERSHIP IN CITY HALL AND RESTORE THE QUALITY OF LIFE THAT WE ALL WANT AND DESERVE HERE IN DISTRICT 43!"
"... DEVELOPMENTS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS..." ! "...DEVELOPMENTS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS..." !!!
"... DEVELOPMENTS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS..." !!!!!
"... COMING SOON..." ? --- "... COMING SOON..." ??? --- "... COMING SOON..." ?????
This doesn't make very much sense to us. "[D]evelopments and announcemsnts" is kind of vague. --- It could be almost anything.....
Given the Brian Fox for council campaign's track record so far, we wouldn't get too excited just yet --- but we do have two big questions:
1. If this is real, what are Brian Fox and Liam McCabe waiting for ?
and
2. If this is real, don't they know that the election is less than two weeks off ???
Can you post a picture of Inna? Please !!

We don't cater to the modern man with content that promises to seduce, however we sometimes do try to entertain and where possible surprise or even shock our readers.
However, since we suspect that Inna Vernikov might be "your type" --- when we do a feature about her, we will try to include some pix.....
Brannen & fox.
ReplyDeleteNot exactly eye candy.
BACKFILL: THE "FOX --- A MAN WITH NO POLITICAL CORE --- CERTAINLY NOTHING REPUBLICAN OR CONSERVATIVE" EDITION
ReplyDeleteIN MORE THAN EIGHT MONTHS OF POLITICAL CAMPAIGNING, BRIAN FOX HAS ONLY ASSERTED WHAT HE IS >>> NOT <<< POLITICALLY AND NEVER WHAT HE IS --- AS FAR AS WE ARE CONCERNED, HE IS NEITHER CONSERVATIVE NOR REPUBLICAN
THAT WAS DEMONSTRATED QUITE CLEARLY BY FOX HIMSELF IN HIS COMMENTS TO SAMAR KURSHID FOR THE COMPARISON PIECE [MENTIONED IN OUR MAIN TEXT ABOVE] THAT APPEARED IN THE "GOTHAM GAZETTE" A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO
First there was this: "... 'I am not alt-right,' Fox said. 'My views and ideology are not at all alt-right or extreme right despite what they've tried to label me as. I’m what I'd like to call the sensibility candidate when it comes to very, very basic and fundamental things — crime, sensibility, quality of life.'..."
Second, unlike any real Republican conservative, Fox wants to spend more money on almost everything >>> here's what Mr. Kurshid said about Brian Fox in the "Gothem Gazette" article, repeatedly quoting Mr. Fox:
"If he wins, Fox has promised to improve policing and quality of life in the district. He wants to increase the police budget, push for more cops on the street, reinstitute a plainclothes police unit that was disbanded last year.... 'My entire business and revenue generation and everything that I do revolves around human interaction...I think that my strength lies within really understanding the people that I'm speaking with and understanding that each individual want and need is very, very different.'... Fox said he would work with the Department of Sanitation to step up efforts against graffiti, more efficiently get the trash picked up, and cut down on illegal dumping by increasing fines.... On issues like increasing housing affordability, improving mass transit, and promoting climate resiliency, Fox offered few specifics. 'When it comes to infrastructure, it just has been a growing issue across the entire city and that goes beyond what I'm even able to do once I’m elected.'..."
Fox said he will get the trash picked up and improve quality of life. Isnt that enough?
ReplyDeleteRESPONSE: THE "JUST LIKE JOE BIDEN TALKING IN SCRANTON" EDITION
ReplyDeleteTO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 1:32 PM"
ACTUALLY, BRIAN FOX HAS PROMISED TO DO A LOT MORE THAN THE TWO THINGS THAT YOU MENTIONED --- BRINGING BACK EVERYTHING THAT WAS GOOD --- AND DOING AWAY WITH EVERYTHING THAT'S BAD
JUST LIKE JOE BIDEN --- BRIAN FOX WANTS --- MORE FUNDS FOR THIS AND MORE FUNDS FOR THAT --- SPEND AND SPEND AND SPEND --- AND IT WON'T COST ANYTHING, BECAUSE THAT'S THE KIND OF LOCAL GUY BRIAN FOX IS --- YOU KNOW, JUST LIKE JOE BIDEN FROM SCRANTON
"... but it don't mean a thing --- if it ain't got that swing --- shoo-bop, shoo-bop, shoo-bop, shoo-bop....."
Nobody has seen Brian Fox in 72 hours.
ReplyDeleteRESPONSE: THE "COMMENT ABOVE IS FAKE NEWS" EDITION
ReplyDeleteTO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AI 4:54 PM"
SEVENTY-TWO (72) HOURS ??? NOT EVEN CLOSE !!!
Brian Fox was at a public gathering at the Salty Dog on Wednesday evening --- that would only be forty-eight (48) hours by our count.
Voting has started - if Poxy Foxy and Liam have a bombshell, the time to drop it is now.
ReplyDeleteUPDATE AND BACKFILL: THE "SEEN BUT NOT HEARD" EDITION
ReplyDeleteTHERE HAVE BEEN A FEW PIX OF BRIAN FOX IN THE LAST WEEK --- BUT THERE HASN'T BEEN A LOT OF CHATTER FROM THAT CAMP CHARACTER IN FLEECE, FADED DENIM, AND FUNNY FOOTWEAR, WHO HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN A MAGPIE OF A MISH-MASH OF MISSTATED AND/OR MISTAKEN MEMORIES OF HIS OWN LIFE AND CIRCUMSTANCES, MULTIFACETED MALAPROPS CONTAINING MISINFORMATION ABOUT OUR LIVES AND CIRCUMSTANCES, AND MULTIPLE MALEDICTIONS SUITABLE FOR MONOLOGUES IN "MACBETH"
INSTEAD --- WE'VE BEEN EXPOSED TO SOME SILLY PUSSY NAMED "ORLA" FOR DAYS NOW --- WHO BRIAN FOX WANTS US TO BELIEVE HAS "ENDORSED" HIM BECAUSE OF HIS PROGRESSIVELY WOKE STAND ON ANIMAL CONTROL, WHICH IS PRETTY MUCH THE SAME AS JUSTIN BRANNAN'S
If Fox wants to describe his campaign in the verbal constructs of T.S. Eliot in the final stages of his social media presentation and expostion, maybe "...Cats..." isn't the most apt way to go >>> something out of "...Prufrock..." would be more descriptive --- “That is not it at all... That is not what I meant, at all....” --- and from "...Hollow Men..." more predictive --- "...this is the way the world ends... not with a bang, but with a whimper...."
I seen Marty in the Bagel store today and he was telling someone to vote for Brannen
ReplyDeleteRESPONSE: THE "THAT SOUNDS LIKE FAKE NEWS TO US" EDITION
ReplyDeleteTO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 4:32 PM"
MARTY IS MORE THAN JUST PRO-FORMA SUPPORTING BRIAN FOX AS THE REPUBLICAN-CONSERVATIVE CANDIDATE OF CITY COUNCIL FROM GOLDEN'S HOME AREA --- HE AND HIS FAMILY HAVE DONE STUFF IN SUPPORT OF THE FOX CAMPAIGN
IS MARTY GOLDEN HAPPY WITH FOX AS HIS CANDIDATE FOR THE CITY COUNCIL SEAT THAT ONCE WAS HIS ? WE PRETTY MUCH DOUBT IT, BUT WE DON'T THINK MART WOULD SAY ANYTHING POSITIVE ABOUT BRANNAN OR NEGATIVE ABOUT FOX IN PUBLIC
In any case ... what did Marty get at the bagel store ???
Small coffee with a little kick (wink wink)
