A final word on Yversha Roman, Molly Clifford's LaShana Boose.

Yversha Roman failed to recapture LD 26 for the Establishment Demagogues tonight. She was handily defeated by Republican incumbent Tony Micciche.
Micciche has hardly been effective as a leader, but at least he knew how to campaign. And walk.
Nobody ever heard of Roman before, just like nobody ever heard of LaShana Boose before this year.
Roman was the creation of the notorious Molly Clifford and social butterfly Elaine Spaull.
They dragged her out of the ghetto, dressed her up, created a biography for her and even gave her a job to make her more palatable to voters.
Moreover, they expected her to win merely because of the numerical superiority of registered Demagogues in LD 26.
That didn't work.
Nor did reinventing Roman.
To quote the great black god, Obama: "A pig with lipstick is still a pig."
Maybe the next time she runs for something, she and her goon squad will realize that slashing her opponent's tires and vandalizing his property won't win her any votes.
Or maybe not.
You can take a stupid little girl out of the ghetto, but you can't take the ghetto out of a stupid little girl.

Where does Molly Clifford really live?

Good question.
To reiterate from an earlier blog, the notorious Molly Clifford established residence at 45 Stutson Street in January 2014 to run for the northwest city council seat being vacated by Carla Palumbo.
The house is listed as "owner occupied," and doesn't require a C of O.
Clifford is not the owner. The landlord would therefore have to change the status of the property to a rental and apply for a C of O.
This has not been done, which makes one wonder about the legality of Clifford's residence there, even if it is only on paper. If it isn't legal, how can she run for office based on her residence there?
Clifford is really only renting a mailbox. That is a common ploy used by welfare cheats and con artists to establish residence in places where they do not live in order to pull off a scam.
It means Clifford is interested in nothing more than wining elected office for that district. It is a means to the end of running for mayor in 2017.
Even more interesting is the history of Clifford's previous residences, courtesy of Monroe County's Board of Elections.
For the last decade, until now, they have listed the locations of her voter registration as being "unknown."
Unknown?
Are we to presume that Clifford was homeless or a gypsy?
That is doubtful.
How was she able to vote if she didn't have a legally registered address?
At least her Green Party opponent, Dorothy Paige, has lived at the same address for decades and can prove it.
There is way too much that is, and has been, fishy about Clifford.
To do her justice, she is no worse than Yversha Roman or LaShana Boose. They also have questionable recent residences.
They typify what is wrong with our political system. It explains why people are apathetic about it and refuse to come out to vote. Why vote when all politicians are seen as crooks?
Which is why the whole system needs to be razed and rebuilt from the foundations upwards.
But people are fearful of that, allowing corrupt politicians to continue to go merrily about their way.

Boose loses. Again.

New York State Supreme Court Justice John Van Ark rang the curtain down on LaShana Boose's campaign farce today.
According to Rochester's liberal newsrag, the D&C, Van Ark dismissed Boose's bid to challenge the outcome of the primary election on September 10.
Boose's handlers claimed that she "never received a required notice about a routine audit of 3 percent of the voting machines used in the election, and she argued that there were discrepancies in the vote totals announced by the Board of Elections."
Of course, this was bullshit.
I mentioned the so-called discrepancies in a previous blog. Boose and her handlers are even stupider than I thought possible to make that statement.
As for not receiving the "required notice," the D&C states "Ark focused largely on whether the Board of Elections sent the proper notice to Boose. Rob Yauman, an attorney for the Monroe County law department, said the board showed that in August, it mailed the notice required by state law to the address that Boose used to register to vote and in her nominating petitions to get on the ballot."
If Boose didn't receive that notice, it suggests that she doesn't live at that address. Which does a lot to explain why nobody ever heard of her before in Maplewood.
Where does she live, really?
Boose's campaign was a fraud from start to finish.
Van Ark threw out the Gantt-Warren faction's challenge. Who knows what their next desperate move will be? The New York State Court of Appeals?
Election Commissioner Tom Ferrarese called the Gantt-Warren faction's petition "political grandstanding." In plain English, the behavior of spoiled brats not getting their way.
Boose left without speaking to the reporter.  She was true to form. Nobody ever heard her speak to anyone before. Perhaps she is incapable of cognitive speech. Which also does a lot to explain why the Gantt-Warren faction kept her out of the public eye during her, or rather their campaign.
They didn't rehearse her well enough to speak in public on the subject of her case being dismissed. They would have done better with a parakeet.
The Gantt-Warren faction only wanted to get a mindless fool elected to this particular city council seat to forestall the notorious Molly Clifford from challenging the mayor in 2017.
They got the kind of candidate they wanted and failed.
They didn't get their puppet elected. They chose to humiliate themselves and her further in this manner. They chose to piss off other Demagogues. They were entertainment for people not committed to either faction of the Demagogic Party and the Republicans.
Clifford won, leaving the road clear for she and her faction to challenge the mayor in 2017.
Between the two evils, the mindless LaShana Boose and the notorious Molly Clifford, most Demagogues chose not to vote at all.
That should be a warning to both Clifford and Warren in 2017.
But this primary and its aftermath were fun, weren't they?

LaShana Boose must be a masochist.

I thought I had heard the last of LaShana Boose.
You know, the Gantt-Warren faction's invisible candidate who was narrowly defeated by the notorious Molly Clifford for the northwest district city council seat. By 42 votes.
When the absentee ballots were counted, Clifford's margin of victory grew to 66 votes. Not particularly outstanding, but sufficient unto the day.
That should have been that. The Gantt-Warren faction should have learned from their mistakes and put this one behind them.
But no. They are incapable of learning anything.
Boose's incompetent handlers decided that there should be a public examination of all the votes for the northwest city council seat. In her name, they are petitioning the State Supreme Court for an expanded audit of the voting machines that were used.
Boose was certainly not intelligent enough to do it herself, or able to tell her handlers to leave her in peace.
According to Rochester's City Newspaper, the petition reads: "the discrepancy between the 42-vote lead on September 10, 2015, and the 66-vote lead on September 14, 2015, justifies an expanded audit."
Which, like everything else involving Boose, is bullshit. All it's doing is make the lot of them look like sore losers and pests. The only way to stick it to sore losers is to ignore them.  The only way to get rid of pests is to swat them.
That will come when Mayor Warren runs for re-election against Clifford in 2017. That will be an endless source of mirth for Rochesterians, since both factions will throw away the rule book.
Neither side ever abided by it, anyway.
For now, this petition will probably get thrown out of court, providing yet another opportunity for Boose and her handlers to humiliate themselves. They enjoy feeling oppressed, and who can deny them their perverted pleasures?
When I heard about their petition, I laughed so hard I almost pissed myself.
Probably, so did Clifford.
She has nothing to fear from the Gantt-Warren faction ever again.

Sheppard and Clifford are now poised to challenge Mayor Warren in 2017.

It was a bad night  for the Gantt-Warren faction in the Demagogic primary election.

Primary elections usually have piss poor turnouts. A few hundred, maybe as little as a few dozen votes can determine which candidate is victorious.

Such was the case tonight.

True, they kept what they had in their core constituencies ( in the ghetto ), but were unable to extend their malevolence beyond it.

The defeat of their clients in LDs 21 and 28 were unimportant. It merely bruised their tender little egos. Perhaps it even taught them their limitations, if they are capable of learning anything.

It was a different matter in LD 23 and the northwest city council race. Their clients were defeated by long time enemies who are now poised to challenge the mayor herself in 2017.

Ex police chief James Sheppard handily defeated Mayor Warren's employee, Mitchell Rowe, in LD 23. The Gantt-Warren faction couldn't play the race card ( their usual weapon ) because Sheppard is black, their client was white and LD 23 is one of the richest and whitest districts in the City of Rochester.

That card works only in the ghetto.

It must be recalled that Sheppard was unceremoniously and publicly rejected by Mayor Warren when she won election in 2013. He owes her no favors.

In fact, he might very easily take a page out of the book of another inept Rochester police chief, Bob Doofus.

Doofus managed to rise to his level of incompetence, first briefly as mayor of Rochester and then even more briefly as lieutenant governor of New York State.

Sheppard is well placed to run against Mayor Warren when the time comes in two years.

Even more damning was the Gantt-Warren faction's defeat in the race for the northwest district's city council seat.

The notorious Molly Clifford defeated the invisible, unknown and unheard of Lashana Boose. Playing the race card backfired in their faces in a district where blacks are not in the majority, and the white queen swept the black queen off of the board by less than four dozen votes.

This particular defeat should be extremely galling to Lovely Warren and David Gant because they personally controlled it from Day One and bungled it from start to finish.

Clifford's notoriety gave her name recognition. Nobody ever heard of Boose before, or ever will again.

Clifford began her campaign in January 2014, when she established residence in Charlotte to qualify for this year's campaign. Gantt and Warren got Boose from who knows where and sprang her on us only in June 2015.

Clifford's years as a kept woman in the Doofus and Richards administration gave her a thin veneer of knowledge on a citywide basis, at least enough to bullshit her way through political conversations,even though she mangled everything she touched there. Boose is NOT connected to the community; she is NOT connected to her neighborhood; she is NOT connected to anything in the northwest.

Clifford was seen everywhere. Boose was seen nowhere.

Clifford’s political propaganda, consisting of lies and gross exaggerations, was frequently forthcoming including a website and contact information. Boose’s one pathetic political handout had nothing on it. Nothing.

Clifford's campaign was staffed by enthusiastic, hard working though dangerously misguided volunteers. Boose's was staffed by Mayor Warren's paid employees and Assemblyman Gantt's political operatives.

Didn't Warren and Gantt realize that fact would be noticed?

In the long run, it didn't matter. Boose was never credible as a candidate for anything, let alone city council. She was even too stupid to realize or care that her campaign was being mishandled. All she had were the Gantt-Warren faction's assurance that they would galvanize the black community to support her. That wasn't enough.

 Boose should now retreat into her well-deserved political obscurity or oblivion

Clifford won the primary by a few dozen votes, which means she will be the next city council thing from the northwest district, for better or worse.

She can now realize her goal of running for mayor in 2017. That's been in her badly coiffed head since 2013.
Of course, her narrow margin of victory means that Clifford isn't all that well loved in the northwest. Absentee ballots might not be in her favor, and a recount might still further erode her margin, if not eliminate it entirely.
In that event, Clifford will still be on the ballot in November on the Independence and Working Family lines. That is her insurance, despite her fine Demagogic heritage.
Boose's handlers didn't think of that, either.

There is a rumor that Mayor Warren won't be around in 2017, though. It's being whispered that she has federal aspirations, and is looking to challenge Demagogic sacred cow Lulubelle Slaughter for her seat in Congress in 2016.

That's one race Warren won't win. The county is not the ghetto, and she doesn't cut much ice outside of it.

It showed tonight.

A defeat on that level would only serve to galvanize either Sheppard or Clifford ( or both ) to unseat her in 2017.

Their campaigns for the mayor's office start now.

Does LaShana Boose exist?

Last night, the Maplewood Neighborhood Association hosted a candidates' forum for the wannabees running for the northeast district's city council seat.
It would be the final chance for voters to grill the candidates before the primary election.
The cafeteria at Aquinas High School was packed with spectators.
Four of the five candidates appeared.
The only no show was LaShana Boose, the Gantt-Warren faction's foil against the notorious Molly Clifford in the Demagogic primary.
Bill Collins, president of the MNA, informed the audience that Boose declined to attend.
That should have been no surprise. Nobody has seen her or heard her since her candidacy had been announced in June.
Come to think of it, nobody ever saw her or heard of her before, either. Even in Maplewood, where she is supposed to reside.
Perhaps Boose was too frightened to appear. Perhaps she and her handlers know that she is incapable of answering the hard questions voters would put to her; that she would be revealed to be nothing more than a puppet of the Gantt-Warren faction, with no connection to anything in the northwest; that she is a simpering idiot.
Her absence last night was a serious blunder. Most voters won't support a candidate that they have never seen or heard before.
But Boose's handlers think they have a sound strategy. They expect the black voters to support her only because she is black. That she is an idiot will not be taken into account then.
But does LaShana Boose even exist? Is she merely a figment of the Gantt-Warren faction's imagination? Are they playing a joke on the voters of the northwest district? Do they think playing the race card will work in an area where blacks are not in the majority?
Who knows?
What is clear is that Lovely Warren's ego is getting the better of her and David Gantt is certainly in his dotage.
This primary, just a week away, should be lots of laughs.

Who in Hell are Ricky Frazier and Bobbi Mitchell?

The Gantt-Warren faction is playing the race card in the upcoming primary election.
Again.
It is their usual gambit.
I have already described the campaign of their protégé, LaShana Boose. The Gantt-Warren faction is running her against their deadly political enemy, the notorious Molly Clifford.
The unknown and uninvolved Boose has no selling points whatsoever other than the color of her skin.
In LD 28, the Gantt-Warren faction is running another unknown, Ricky Frazier, against incumbent Cindy Kaleh for her seat in the county legislature.
They seek to punish Kaleh for two reasons: first, because she is white; second, because she is a charter member of their deadly enemies, the Morelle-Clifford clique.
But who in Hell is Ricky Frazier?
Beats me. I've never heard of him before. I have been told that he is a minister, which supposedly makes him prominent in the black community. That counts for little, if anything, in the white or Asian communities in that district.
His political propaganda is just as piss-poor as Boose's. It tells us nothing about him, although it does include a website and a phone number, unlike Boose's, which has nothing.
Frazier's political blurb features a very nice photo of himself, with the statement "It's time to uplift the community" underneath. It doesn't say how he will do it The flip side lists emergency phone numbers for city and county offices. There is no mention of accomplishments or involvement in LD 28. There is no biography. Perhaps it is because there is nothing about him worth mentioning.
Just like with LaShana Boose and Bobbi Mitchell.
In LD 21, the Morelle-Clifford clique is pitting Carla Palumbo's employee, Mark Muoio, against the Gantt-Warren faction's stooge, Bobbi Mitchell.
Nobody, not even the media, has come up with anything approaching even basic information about Mitchell or her campaign other than the fact she is black. The Gantt-Warren faction believes that this is enough to propel her and their other clients to victory in the primary election. They expect blacks to vote for their candidates only because they, too, are black. Never mind the fact that they have nothing to say about anything, or have never done anything. That's what the race card is all about.
It is a perversion of Dr. Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech, where he spoke of a day when people would not be judged by the color of their skin.

The piss-poor political propaganda of LaShana Boose.

When I left the Republican party three years ago, I registered as a "blank." I chose to remain unaffiliated with any political party because the two major parties are both as corrupt as Hell, and because of the less than welcoming behavior of the Northwest Democrats to former Republicans.
The lesser political parties are filled with kooks. Well meaning kooks, sometimes, but kooks nonetheless.
My husband remains registered as a Democrat, which entitles us to receive political propaganda from Democratic bullshit artists seeking election to public office.
Yesterday, stuffed into our door jam, we found just such propaganda from LaShana Boose.
Ms. Boose is running for the northwest city council seat being vacated by Carla Palumbo.
One side of this political blurb features a very nice photo of Ms. Boose. Underneath it states that she is "connected to the community."
She is no such thing. Nobody ever heard of her before.
The only connection Ms. Boose has is to the Gantt-Warren faction of the Democratic party. She worked on Ms. Warren's election campaign. This is to be Ms. Boose's reward.
The Gantt-Warren faction needed a black female to run as a foil against the notorious Molly Clifford for Palumbo's city council seat. Those are her only qualifications, race and sex, and the Gantt-Warren faction chose to ignore better potential candidates for those reasons alone.
And so there will be a primary election for the Democratic nod.
On the flip side of the card, Ms. Boose makes trite statements about being a working mother and her concerns for the northwest district, something she has never been publicly concerned about before.
It's sentimental claptrap, and hardly enough to justify voting for her in the primary. It's just plain stupid.
It is similar to the rhetorical garbage offered by Molly Clifford's candidate for LD 26, Yversha Roman.
Roman has no connection to the community, either.
She is running solely on the fact that she is a Democrat, and party affiliation alone is a pretty stupid reason to vote for a candidate.
It usually works because most voters are stupid.
It is on the pillars of stupidity, party affiliation and race that both the Morelle-Clifford and Gantt-Warren factions are counting.

The Gantt-Warren faction have chosen their candidate for the north west city council race.

Her name is Lashana Boose.
Apart from the fact that she is a black woman who resides in Rochester's north west district, nobody knows anything about her.
She is the candidate the Gantt-Warren faction have pitted against Molly Clifford. They are counting on her sex and the color of her skin alone to win outgoing city councilmember Carla Palumbo's seat.
Scott Gaddy, one of Gantt's numerous "children"  and leader of the PAC ( political action committee ) that got Warren elected, entertained the possibility of running other candidates for that seat, including Republican county legislator Tony Micciche.
That would not have made the Gantt-Warren faction popular with other Democrats.
Micciche is a piss-poor choice for any elected office, anyway.
Another potential candidate was Mayor Warren's own executive staff member, Andreas Rau.
Rau never said he would run, but as a long standing neighborhood advocate for the north west, he seemed to be the most logical candidate.
Perhaps he was bought off with the promise of a pay-raise. They need him at City Hall as window dressing, the only white male among the mayor's intimate staff members.
So Boose was chosen to run. The others were simply too white for Gantt's taste
Boose is merely a cypher, a tool of the Gantt-Warren faction to prolong the racial split among Rochester's Democratic committees.
She is no match for Clifford, an old pro in evil political practices.
