MANALAPAN MIKE IS DOWN AND OUT.....
According to a report Saturday in the
Daily News >>> Michael Ragusa, a Republican candidate running for
a City Council seat in Bay Ridge, Bensonhurst and Graves End, abruptly pulled the
plug on his campaign Friday after accusations that somebody on his petitioning crew forged signatures on a Ragusa ballot petition.....
Ragusa folded like a cheap suit --- proving himself to be one of the absolute four-flushing phonies in the Brooklyn GOP --- making him very much like several of the rest --- who are the ones really at fault in all this
Mike Ragusa might be done-for and done-in by this signature scam --- but we at this independent GOP blog for Brooklyn and Staten Island are not ------>>> more to come about the who, what, where, and how of the "whole" scam in due course.....
Gail, the trail starts at about 11:30 PM on July 13, 2023 when Brian Z. Fox, Jennifer Moore, and Tom Tully filed challenges to the Mike Ragusa petitions. That was the day before news stories about the bad signatures. That trail will go all the way back to the signature gatherer and then to Liam McCabe, and then to Ari Kagan himself.
ReplyDeleteMike we hardly knew ya. But we like it that way.
ReplyDeleteJuly 13, 2023 huh?
ReplyDeleteRESPONSE & BACKFILL: THE "ANOTHER PIECE OF THE TIMELINE" EDITION
ReplyDeleteTO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 12:33 PM" & "... AT 1:22 PM"
YES !!! ACCORDING TO THE NYC BOE LEDGER, IT'S >>> "July 13, 2023" !!!!!
THEN THERE IS THIS PIECE OF THE TIMELINE --- WHICH ALSO IS WELL AHEAD OF THE PUBLICATION OF THE NY POST ARTICLE AND REVEALS A KEY DETAIL.....
As indicated in the quoted material, this comment was recieved by this independent GOP blog for Brooklyn & Staten Island at 7:46 AM on Friday morning, only about eight hours after the Fox-Tully-Moore challeges were filed --- "Anonymous said... Your sources are wrong, it wasn’t Marty, however it was a current elected.... April 14, 2023 at 7:46 AM"
MODERATOR'S NOTE: THE "WATCH WHAT YOU SAY ABOUT PEOPLE --- SOMEBODY MIGHT REALLY CARE" EDITION
ReplyDeleteTHIS COMMENT WAS ATTEMPTED BY SOMEBODY AT 5:03 PM ON SATURDAY --- THEY MIGHT BE SERIOUS OR NOT --- THEY MIGHT BE FUNNY OR NOT --- THEY MIGHT HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY THAT'S WORTHWHILE OR NOT.....
"Ragusa got set up. Dino Diakoumakos collected the fake signatures in question that led to Raagusa stepping down. Dino and Brian Fox ----------. Follow the money." [The deleted material "-----" --- though possibly true --- was omitted to protect those that might view what was said as defamatoryl and we wouldn't want to trigger them]
Overall, the comment was something that might have needed saying --- or not.....
Ragusa told Daily News he was set up and then says hes stepping down because of election integrity. Whats that mean?
ReplyDeleteRESPONSE: THE "THINGS LIKE 'CANDIDATE FRAUD' ARE MOVING VERY FAST INSIDE THE BROOKLYN GOP" EDITION
ReplyDeleteTO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 9:23 PM"
IT MEANS THAT MANALAPAN MIKE IS A KNUCKLE-DRAGGING MORON WHO DIDN'T WANT-TO OR KNOW-HOW-TO PUT IN THE WORK --- AND IT BIT HIM IN THE ASS
MEANWHILE IN THE 43RD COUNCIL DISTRICT THE GOP ENDORSED CANDIDATE WAS FORCED TO WITHDRAW BECAUSE OF THE ACTIONS OF ANOTHER TED GHORRA RECOMMENDED "CONSULTANT" GREGORY KIRSOPP --- CONNECTED TO THE ALLEGATIONS OF FRAUD INVOLVING THE GOP PETITION OF CHINGKIT "JACK" HO, A STAFFER TO ASSEMBLY MEMBER LESTER CHANG (FOR SOME REASON, TED GHORRA HAS BEEN TRYING TO LOSE THIS ELECTION TO THE DEMOCRATS FROM THE BEGINNING --- MORE IN A SEPARATE POST ABOUT GHORRA'S LATEST "SCREWUPS" NOT BEING ACCIDENTS)
Here's how it most likely happened in the 47th Council District race >>> Mike Ragusa was corned into knowingly backing a fraud, and was thus manipulated into making it a "candidate fraud"..... WHAT A MAROON !!!!!
Unlike what was posted above --- "Ragusa got set up. Dino Diakoumakos collected the fake signatures in question that led to Raagusa stepping down...." >>> Dino Diakoumanis didn't gather the allegedly forged petitions; Dino D. only signed them as the "witnessing signatory"..... The real gatherer was somebody whose name sounds like "Maguire".....
The real interesting thing is that somebody then "dropped a dime" to Alec Brook-Krasny last week (after Ragusa's petitons were filed, but well before any of this broke in the media) to tell the GOP Assemblymember that his signature had appeared in the Ragusa petition..... Brook-Krasny then verified the facts with Ray Riley at the Brooklyn BOE before drafting his letter to the Brooklyn DA. The fact pattern was virtually the same wrt GOP State Committee Member David Sepiashvili.....
The fault for all of this is at the door of Ted Ghorra, whose recommended consultants in both the 47th and 43rd Council races have made it all into shit show for the ages >>> with two GOP candidates having to withdraw from their races because of allegations of fraud on their filed petitions.....
Once again, your sources are wrong…. Stay tuned.
DeletePaul Maguire is a patsy. The kid has 3 or maybe 4 total brain cells. He is not capable of masterminding espionage of this magnitude. Dino Diakoumakos lives in Hamptons Bays, Long Island. Last year Dino Diakoumakos was shilling for Brian Fox. This year Dino Diakoumakos is helping Ragusa? You don't need to be a genius to smell something is fishy!!!! Signed petition sheets reviewed by the New York Post and the New York Daily News showed that Brook-Krasny and Sepiashvili’s forged signatures were on petition sheets gathered, signed and approved by Dino Diakoumakos. Mikey "Little Moron" Ragusa got played by Brian Fox (an inside job orchestrated by Liam McCabe and Ari Kagan) and now he is too embarrassed to admit he got played so he is blaming the mongoloid Maguire. Ari's Team knew Ragusa would be a problem in the Primary so they cooked up this scheme to knock Ragusa down a peg and for once it worked. Not bad for the gang who couldn't shoot straight!
ReplyDeleteKeep the focus where it belongs on Ted Ghorra, the real dirty trickster across the whole Brooklyn GOP.
ReplyDeleteHis lies to Lester Chang caused a rift between the Brooklyn GOP and the GOP Assembly leadership of William Barclay, and now Chang's hand picked candidate for council in the 43rd, Jack Ho is suddenly off the ballot because of the actions of Ghorra's man, Greg Kirsopp. All of that followed Ghorra's dupicitous dealings with Ying-Ying Tan and her husband, the insurgent Republicans that blocked Jack Ho's bid by finding and publishing the fraud in Ho's petitions.
The time has come to ask, what are Ted Ghorra's side deals with his recommended consultants, Liam McCabe and Greg Kirsopp?
See what happens when Hampton Bays Dino teams up with Manalapan Mike and they leave out cape cod Vito.
ReplyDeleteHe needed more tattoos. And hair gel.
ReplyDeleteRagusa got set up by Ari Kagan. That's the story.
ReplyDeleteI concur with the person who said Maguire is a patsy. He was likely sent by Ghorra to kneecap Ragusa. All of this leads back to Ari Kagan.
ReplyDeleteNo, the story is that two Brooklyn Republican candidates in winnable districts were knocked off the ballot for fraud under the leadership of Ted Ghorra, who had Liam McCabe and Gregory Kirsopp as his "recommended" vendors that did whatever they did to cause it in each district.
ReplyDeleteActually Paul Maguire never spent a day petitioning for Mike Ragusa and if you really want to trigger a case for libel and defamation keep spreading those rumors. Ragusa’s team was probably forging signatures throughout and it is likely that they did this on advice of people who have patronage jobs from BKGOP, when genius Ragusa finally crossed the wrong people they pulled the plug on his campaign.
ReplyDeleteIts Greg Kisloff, a democrat, and he has his own issues.
ReplyDeleteRESPONSE: THE "SOUND AND THE FURY" EDITION
ReplyDeleteTO MOST OF THE COMMENTERS ABOVE
MANALAPAN MIKE RAGUSA SAYS HE WAS SET UP --- AND IT SURE LOOKS LIKE HE VERY WELL MIGHT HAVE BEEN --- BUT EVEN NOW, RAGUSA SEEMS SO STUPID THAT HE HASN'T FIGURED OUT HOW IT WAS DONE OR BY WHOM --- OR ELSE HE'S PROTECTING SOMEBODY FOR SOME REASON
WE STAND BY WHAT WE HAVE POSTED IN OUR MOST RECENT PRIOR COMMENT ABOUT "DIAKOUMAKOS" & "MAGUIRE" AND HOW IT WENT DOWN WITH MIKEY THE ERSTWHILE CANDIDATE >>> BOTTOM LINE, RAGUSA HIMSELF ADMITS THAT HE HAD TO BE INVOLVED IN THE "FRAUD" HIMSELF --- OTHERWISE IT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN >>> "AN INSURMOUNTABLE BARRIER TO CONTINUING MY [RAGUSA'S] CAMPAIGN"
According to the NY Post Michael Ragusa was one of the four Republicans vying for the 47th District, and he claims that he did nothing wrong and that he was set up.
Also according to the Post, ".... Ragusa declined to say who he thinks might be behind signature-gate...." >>> but this is what he did say to that paper, “Recent serious allegations have been made against me, which were quite shocking to our team as well, and have created an insurmountable barrier to continuing my campaign.... Unfortunately I put my trust in a volunteer who took advantage and tried to sabotage my campaign....” {Isn't that cute >>> Ragusa still calls the people involved "our team" and says that they were "shocked" --- Seriously ??? We on this independent GOP blog for Brooklyn and Staten Island really mean "SERIOUSLY !!!!!")
Both Maguire and Diakoumakos were volunteers --->>> but somebody else was also involved with Ragusa and his petitions. That person had been thrown out of the Avery Pereira campaign by Nick Chamberas..... And that person should be a real person of interest in this whole bigger phony signatures scam which created the insurmountable barrier that blocked the Ragusa campaign for the ultimate benefit of Ari Kagan.

ReplyDeleteTO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 11:49 AM"
ABOUT ALL THAT GAS COMING OUT OF YOU --- SOMETHING LIKE "TRIGGER[ING] A CASE FOR LIBEL AND DEFAMATION [BLAH ! BLAH !!! BLAH !!!!!]" --- IN THE WORDS OF THAT GREAT JURIST HUMPHREY BOGART >>> "THE CHEAPER THE CROOK, THE GUADIER THE PATTER"
LIKE WE SAID ABOVE >>> "WE STAND BY WHAT WE HAVE POSTED IN OUR MOST RECENT PRIOR COMMENT ABOUT "DIAKOUMAKOS" & "MAGUIRE" AND HOW IT WENT DOWN WITH MIKEY THE ERSTWHILE CANDIDATE..."
And as the Mama's and the Papa's once said >>> "McGuinn and Maguire couldn't get no higher... But that's what they were aimin' at... And no one's gettin' fat 'cept Mama Cass...."
1206, you are mixed up in your head as usual. It's "Greg Kirsopp" not "Greg Kisloff"; two different "Democrat" consultants; both whacky, both useless. Kirsopp has the deal with Ted Ghorra to work for or against Brooklyn Republicans.
ReplyDeleteRagusa has enough secrets to bring down the entire Republican Party so he had to be stopped. FREE RAGUSA!

ReplyDeleteMARTY GOLDEN HAD TO BE TRICKED INTO TAKING A PICTURE WITH ARI KAGAN AT THE BAY RIDGE ST. PATRICK'S PARADE; AND THEN THAT WAS LEVERAGED INTO AN "ENDORSEMENT" AFTER THE FACT BY THE BROOKLYN GOP'S FAVORITE GERIATRIC
IT'S LIKE OLD TIMES WITH THE MARTY GOLDEN STATE SENATE STAFFERS TRICKING MARTY INTO DOING STUFF --- EVEN BACK THEN, MARTY WASN'T FIRING ON ALL CYLINDERS --- AND NOW HE'S LUCKY WHEN HE GETS OUT TO WALK AROUND IN tHE SUNSHINE FOR HIS VITAMIN D DEFICIENCY --- YOU KNOW, IT'S THAT PROGRESSIVE BIDEN THING --- AND NOWADAYS FOR MARTY IT SEMMS TO BE GETTING WORSE ALL THE TIME
It's just not right the way that the two Johns, former chief of everything and master of nothing Quaglione, and Special Assistant of bots and phantom postings Seravalli tricked good OLD Marty for the sole benefit of Ari Kagan's campaign (and of course for a good fee for JS to boot). What a pair of used "Coney Island White Fish" JQ & JS are !!!!!
Kagan will keep retweeting his ONLY GOP endorsement from now till November. This gigantic douche doesn’t know what he’s in for. As for Marty, dear old Marty, dear simple old Marty, his career is ruined and his endorsements won’t mean anything anymore.
DeleteManalapan Mike is down and out and gone.
ReplyDeleteMarty endorsed Marco Kepi for Senate and Brian Fox and neither them even won Marty's own Election District!
ReplyDeleteIf voters believe crime is down justin wins. If voters believe crime is off the charts ari wins.
ReplyDelete633, that makes no sense at all; and nobody with a working brain could think that either proposition is necessarily true.
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting so much fake news and garbage on this site. While most of it is Justin and his fan boys amusing themselves it shows how little you know about anything involving the Brooklyn GOP.

WE HERE ON THIS INDEPENDENT GOP BLOG FOR BROOKLYN AND STATEN ISLAND OBVIOUSLY HIT SOME VERY RAW NERVES INSIDE THE KAGAN GUNSELS FOR HIRE CROWD AND/OR THE SELL-OUTS SITTING AT THE TOP OF THE BROOKLYN GOP FOR NOW
YES --- WE ARE AMUSING OURSELVES OUTING THE REAL TALK AMONG THOSE AT THE TOP LEVELS OF THE BROOKLYN GOP AND NOT ONE OF US IS "JUSTIN AND[/OR] HIS FAN BOYS" --- ALL OF IT IS FROM OUR RECENT CHIT-CHATS WITH OUR VERY RELIABLE SOURCES AT THE TOP LEVELS OF THE BROOKLYN GOP (BTW, WE HAVE HAD NO RECENT CHIT-CHATS WITH OUR VERY GOOD FRIENDS AND SOURCES AMONG THE BAY RIDGE DEMS --- ALTHOUGH THERE WAS AT LEAST ONE E-MAIL INDICATING THAT THE DEMS THINK THAT THE BROOKLYN GOP IS AN LOL LAUGHING STOCK AND NEEDS A MUCH BIGGER CLOWN CAR)
Everything in our main post above and the next newer post about Ted Ghorra's precarious position as Chairman after the 2023 GOP organizational convention is 100% from Brooklyn GOP sources; and it is all very reliable.
As we have said repeatedly during the last several days --- we stand behind what we have reported.
