The last second pitch by the Brooklyn GOP & Conservative Party is a Big Bad Balk

 

Across the board for the Brooklyn GOP and Conservative Party  ---  the last weekend message was lots of different messages

THE "LET'S FACE IT  ---  THERE AIN'T NO RACE FOR MAYOR IN THIS NOVEMBER OF 2021  ---  OR FOR VERY MUCH OF ANYTHING LOCAL EITHER"  EDITION

At best, there are no more than one or two races that might be competitive in the entire Borougn of Brooklyn/ County of Kings in the CIty and State of New York

The competitve local races come down to two:  the race FOR Inna Vernikov  ---   and the one AGAINST Justin Brannan

FOR MAYOR

Let's start with the candidate we got behind for mayor  ---  OK !!!  ---  Let's make that the two candidates we got behind for mayor:  Curtis Sliwa and Bill Pepitone.....  For anybody that still might care, and if you are actually "FOR" either of these guys the only question left is  >>>  How bad iis it going to be ???  (However, don't be surprised if the combined protest vote for these two looks pretty good, because Eric Adams hasn't set the world on fire with enthusiasm for his kind of watered-down law'n'order and get back to normal platform).  Why the GOP and the Conservatives went their separate ways on this is more complicated than we can get into right now  ---  but whatever it was, it killed any chance that might have existed to make any real race against the Democrats work on any level.....

THE ONE REAL WINNABLE LOCAL RACE IN BROOKLYN

With a few weeks to go, Inna looked like she might have been all set for an upset of our former compatriot Brooklyn Republican, Steve Saperstein, who flipped to Democrat and won his seat on the City council in a special election .  Then the speed cams thing came up at a key moment; and it pretty much took the wind out of Ms. Vernikov's  sails.  

Nonetheless, maybe the Trump robo-calls will make more of a difference than most robo-calls do..... So,  Inna still might win in a SQUEAKER  ---  and I'm sure that  Ted will be there to celebrate out in Brighton/ Manhattan Beach if she does win.

IN THE OTHER RACE THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN COMPETITIVE  ---  BECAUSE BRANNAN WAS RIPE FOR AN UPSET

The big missed opportunity of 2021 will be in the old GOP stronghold that was mostly centered on the "old 49th" parts of Dyker Heights and Bay Ridge that Sal Albanese changed forever.  Incumbent Democrat Justin Brannan came into 2021 bucking very strong headwinds. He had won the seat very narrowly against Republican- Conservative John Quaglione in 2017;  and a real race by a real credible GOP-Cons candidate might have spelled "... 'Trouble' with a capital 'T'..." for Justin baby.  

Instead, somebody thought that somebody else who could beat Justin Brannan in Sumo wrestling was the right way to go in 2021  ---   other than that, there could not have been any other legitimate reason to pick the man we think we know as "Biran Fox" as the Brooklyn GOP candidtate for City Council in/and for the 43rd Council District.

Brian Fox is somebody that never voted in the area of the 43rd Council District before, and he only recently started to call Bay Ridge his home (and then probably only because of his becoming a political candidate). Fox isn't even from any other part of Brooklyn, being raised outside of New York City, he says Long Island, but the evidence says New Jersey. 

Even why he uses the name "Fox" is shrouded in mystery, when his "parents" go by the name Rundell (until this election when his mom changed her personal appellation to "Rundell Fox" for the first time. There seems also to be a "brother," Perry Fox, but Brian Fox has said nothing to anybody about any of this  ---  even though he has been questioned about it repeatedly. (At least nobody ever said that he had a birth certificate in Africa, like ykw).

Brian Fox's other life history, as in his education, and professional and work histories, is also quite mysterious. Any data base searches come up with contradidctory and overlapping information and/or misinformation.   His most recent fabrication(s) seem(s) to be that he is some kind of self-employed entrepreneur  ---  but there is little to nothing to back that up.  His currently-claimed 'local" business is something that he calls "Phillip Martin Talent Advisors, LLC";  in which Brain Fox says that he is the "Founder" and "Managing Partner".....   The problem is that there doesn't seem to be any other partner(s), and immediately after Brian founded the company, he started running for the NYC Council. Furthermore, it's only local in Brian Fox's head and his apartment  ---  it is a foreign "LLC" with a number from an out-of-area telephone area code. If it did any business, it would be a foreign company doing or conducting busness in New York, and it's filings would have to reflect that (Oh, that's right, what filings ???). Along the way, Brian Fox claimed to have bought and sold businesses, and owned four or five restaurants (You guessed it, no paperwork on that either.....  And who doesn't know if they owned four or five restaurants ???).

By now, readers of this blog should know all there is to know about the horrid campaign of lies and deceit that Brian Fox has been part of at the hands of his Svengali/ Horse Whisperer, Liam McCabe.....

When you put it all together, it sure don't spell "MOTHER"  >>>  it don't spell a winning race against Brannan either.  "2021" another year, another election  --- another missed opportunity ---  for the Brooklyn GOP to take back the Bay Ridge-Dyker Heights, Bath Beach City Council seat most recently held by GOP-Conservative Marty Golden before he became the areas state senator..
