Blooming Grove stalls on FOILs; some N.Y. Dems want you dead

If you’re wealthy, the New York State Democratic Party has your back. If you’re not, your only options are to move—or die.

I have to say, if they ever needed to do a remake of “Footloose,” you wouldn’t need to look far to find people to play roles where they hate dancing. You’d just need to go to a Monroe Village Board meeting. I’ve never seen a more humorless, joyless group of people in my life, and I’ve been to Moscow.

Just watch last night’s meeting. It’s like they had to conduct business immediately following the Pope walking into the room and taking a dump on the floor in front of them:

Maybe this has something to do with Alex Melchiorrie, current mayor until a scandal comes along—which could be any day now given who he’s meeting with in his spare time. This is because Melchiorrie is alleged to be getting shit-canned over in Blooming Grove.

As of this writing, Blooming Grove Supervisor Robert Jeroloman has not replied to requests for comment from News 12 and The Monroe Gazette concerning Mayor Alex Melchiorrie’s job status as Blooming Grove’s Police Chief. In response, The Monroe Gazette has placed a FOIL request in with the town for all documentation concerning Melchiorrie’s termination. But you should know, the Town of Blooming Grove has actively obstructed a couple of our FOIL requests on the grounds that, and this is true, “because we can.”

Essentially what they’re doing is, instead of using Adobe Acrobat or another program to redact files on the computer like a normal person would, they’re intentionally printing out the files, redacting them by hand, and then charging fees related to this redaction work. Many agencies do this to create a financial burden to prohibit the public from accessing documents. However, a new advisory opinion by the New York State Committee on Open Government (COOG) may put a stop to that behavior in Blooming Grove.

One would think our state senator, the adulterous “populist” James G. Skoufis, would speak up on issues like this with only a few days left to go in this year’s legislative session. But he’s too busy pushing a bill that would limit the resale of tickets on the secondary market, which is a good thing on paper, but like any Skoufis bill, and like the man himself, lacks any balls. (And yes, he’s talking about concert tickets instead of hundreds and thousands of New Yorkers about to lose their health insurance, while others face sky rocketing premiums and hospitals are set to close. What a populist!)

This Skoufis bill does not actually explain how such a ban or restrictions would be implemented on secondary market ticket sales where the ticket price has been marked up. In other words, it’s toothless. Skoufis just wants to tell you he’s doing something without actually doing anything, which is typical of New York State Democrats. And since Skoufis is part of the larger Democratic National Committee apparatus, typical of the national Democratic party as well.

If you don’t believe me, just look at how everyone got a 10% reduction or so in their car insurance premiums in exchange for potentially not getting ANY money should they get into an accident. That was Kathy Hochul’s big thing this year, and that big thing, yet again, was a gift to corporations.

Like Skoufis, the fact that this was a big priority for Hochul should demonstrate that the New York State Democratic Party only works for the wealthy. You and I don’t count. The only time they think about us here in Orange County is when a Haredi real estate developer complains about those pesky people wanting New York State agencies to actually do their job. To which the Dems just shrug their shoulders and say “Don’t worry about it. Those people [meaning us] are either going to move or die from old age. What do you care?”

Just ask Letitia James, our attorney general. How’s that investigation into actual election fraud going in South Blooming Grove, Letitia? I am willing to bet that, in the last few months, I have gathered more documents and sent them to more law enforcement agencies than James has done since she first mumbled about an investigation in December.

That’s the New York State Democrats position on things like South Blooming Grove: Who cares if you have two fire departments fighting with each other? Who cares if you haven’t had an election since 2023?

Those people complaining are either going to move, or they’re going to die. So don’t worry about it.

Move or Die.

I know we’re a broken record, but we’ll repeat it until things have changed: The Republican Party has been hijacked by fascists and weirdos. They cannot be supported under any circumstances until those fascists and weirdos are chased back under the rocks they crawled out from under. You find me a Republican who isn’t foaming at the mouth about trans people or “illegals” and I will tell you I’ve found a Republican I can vote for.

We don’t have that right now. We might not for a long while still.

But the Democratic Party has also been hijacked. Funny enough, by the same people who fund those fascists and weirdos. That’s how this game works. The wealthy keep us fighting with each other by funding both sides. So we’re all looking left and right instead of up.

You can find proof of this in Hochul bragging to a number of Haredi machers in Rockland about the buffer zone to prevent people from protesting within 50 feet of a house of worship—something that was done to keep those pesky Gaza protestors away from rightfully demonstrating over visits to New York by genocidal war criminals like Itamar Ben-Gvir, Israel’s Minister of National Security.

Kathy Hochul loves the real estate industry so much— and that’s what this is, anything having to do with religion is a bullshit smoke screen—that she restricted the right of all New Yorkers to protest a genocide.

There is no reason for that buffer zone to exist other than Hochul wanted to demonstrate her obedience to AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee) and similar front organizations like End Jew Hatred who don’t want anyone, ever, to say a cross word about the genocide in Gaza, how the Iran war is only still happening because Israel insists on bombing Lebanon, and don’t even think of whispering that Jeffrey Epstein had ties to Mossad. Those files remain classified, friend, and you are anti-Semitic for even bringing that up.

By the way, gas prices is at or near $5. It will likely stay that way for at least a year. And we’re only now, heading into the Summer, about to feel the impacts of this pointless war that have left 13 soldiers dead and hundreds wounded for absolutely zero reason.

As of this writing, we still do not have a full accounting of the number of wounded soldiers and the damage done to our military installations in the Middle East. If you care at all about our troops, you should be calling for answers on this one.

Worse still—because we have a whole lot of people up here who only care about themselves—Home heating oil may be hard to come by at an affordable price. Lucky for you, we’re looking at a mild winter and an incredibly hot 2027 because of a super charged El Nino, but good luck trying to pay for groceries when your home heating oil bill is hovering at a minimum of $800 every month. If you can get that heating oil at all. Stay tuned. Those of you who have been comfortable and not afflicted by this sprawling American crisis are about to get very uncomfortable. Sorry. Guess you should have listened to us sooner!

So let’s be clear: When it comes to shortages, these things are happening specifically because of the war in Iran, which Trump started because he was accused of being a pedophile the day before he authorized military action. The war continues because Israel has decided it’s going to murder as many people as it can in order to become a regional Super Power. And very few Democrats, including our Senator, Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, want to put a stop to that war.

Instead they’re spewing bullshit about how the existence of Israel is a get out of jail free card for literally anything that country wants to do, including get our soldiers killed and wounded in a pointless war.

So, here we are yet again with another reminder that the position of the New York State Democrats, knowing you have no real alternative—what are you going to do, vote for literal Nazis?—are going to keep fucking you six ways from Sunday.

Move or die.

That’s what this late budget tells us.

That’s what their lack of effort with enforcement tells us.

And that’s what they will continue to tell you until we form a new, third party. One that, right at the jump, supports a constitutional amendment here in New York that prohibits any private contributions in an election to no more than $100 and guarantees everyone the right to vote by mail.

If you want to change things, that’s how it’s going to happen.

And if you don’t think that’s possible, then you already know the answer from the New York State Democrats: Move or die.
