Albanese and Borelli Twitter Battle

Sal Albanese ran to be a City Council representative in Staten Island this year. He lost badly.

If you watched the debate on NY 1, you would have been surprised to see that Sal went into the debate unprepared and his opponent, David Carr, gobbled him up.

Albanese locked in the PBA Support and for Staten Island, you would have thought that would have been an election decider.

But the Republican Party in Staten Island was relentless and they were determined not to lose the seat. They went all out for David Carr. Joe Borelli said, “Albanese might have the support of the law enforcement union, but I think more law enforcement officers would rather lick the floor of the Ferry Terminal than vote for him.”

Today Sal Albanese tweeted against Joe Borelli:

When someone asked Sal about who he is talking about, Sal didn’t even know the woman’s name.

Borelli supported Republican candidate, Inna Vernikov in a race against Steve Saperstein in Brooklyn. Inna won the seat!

Borelli’s Twitter game is very strong and he fired this back at Sal:

LOL

Andrew Gounardes Fear Mongers After Brannan Barely Holds On In Election

Andrew Gounardes attempted to collect money by fear-mongering his base!

Instead of acknowledging that people in the neighborhood are tired of silent politicians, the fearful politician put out his donation link.

No one has to give anything, the NY Democrats will just throw hundreds of thousands into the empty suit’s campaign, just like they did last time.

Seniors Watch Out for Purse Snatcher in Foodtown in Bay Ridge

It’s November, but the NYPD decided to share this information from October with people now.

Thank you to Loudlabs Media for sharing this information with our community!

Why didn’t the 68th Precinct share this information at their meeting last month (I was there and nothing was said about this. The Captain was tooting that “crime was done.” We all know that crime isn’t down – it’s just not reported or shared with the community.

THREE ROBBERIES AT FOODTOWN AND COUNCILMAN JUSTIN BRANNAN DIDN’T SAY ANYTHING TO LET BAY RIDGE KNOW?!

It’s awful to be represented by a Councilman who collects a paycheck but doesn’t inform the community about what is going on.

INCIDENTS:

1) Saturday, October 2nd – an 80-year-old neighbor was robbed at Foodtown at 9105 – 3rd Avenue. The thief stoler her wallet from her purse while she was shopping. Took: $200 in case and credit cards.

2) Friday, October 15th – a 73-year-old woman was asked for directions by two people at Foodtown at 9105 – 3rd Avenue. One took her wallet out of her bag (credit cards, keys and $600)

3) Wednesday, October 27th an 89-year-old woman was robbed at Foodtown at 9105 – 3rd Avenue. They removed her purse from her walker while she was shopping ($26 and credit cards)

The fact that Councilman Brannan FAILED to step in and alert the community AND DO SOMETHING to help the seniors shows he isn’t dedicated to this community.

We should have heard this information weeks ago from our councilman, senator, the 69th Precinct and the newspapers, so that the seniors our our community are alert when shopping in Foodtown.

Oh and Foodtown should have stepped in with some help for the seniors (shopping assistants or shopping hours where ONLY seniors can shop).

Three robberies in a month is a lot! Pretending nothing happened is Justin Brannan and Andrew Gounardes MO.

Why Did Councilman Brannan Cross Spectrum’s Picket Line To Go On TV?

Since 2017, Spectrum has been on strike. Any politician appearing on Spectrum News is crossing Spectrum’s picket line.

Justin Brannan is clueless why so many Bay Ridge and Dyker Heights residents voted against him.

Despite being clueless on the community, Brannan should have know better than to appear on a television station that won’t bargain with it’s workers. You either support unions OR you don’t — there is no in-between.

In March 2017, the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Local 3 and Spectrum broke down, and 1,800 workers affiliated with the union walked off the job. Spectrum should have negotiated by now.

Woman Stabbed and Robbed – 3rd Avenue and 88th Street in Bay Ridge

Around 8:30 pm last night, a woman was stabbed and robbed by a man on 3rd Avenue and 88th Street in Bay Ridge.

Did the story make it to the local papers today? No. For some reason a woman being hurt in our community is not news.

The woman was stabbed in the hand. People said there was a lot of blood on the street.

UPDATE: Tonight at the 68th Precinct’s meeting the Captain said, “the thief came behind the woman and grabbed her bag. As he was trying to get away, the victim’s hand got cut. “ (Why didn’t he say: While being robbed, a woman was slashed while trying to defend herself.)

The 68th Precinct did not provide any information about the perp – not even a description. There has to be some cameras in the area that they could have released an image by now (November 18th)

Not one politician spoke about this incident publicly – it was only addressed in a private facebook group, which was shared with me. Senator Andrew Gounardes does not view the safety of the community as being important.

Brannan thinks that speaking to his friends in a group is being a leader.

While both Mrs. Brannan’s must know the information, Justin doesn’t think the community needs to know this information to be safe.

Brannan shared this message on Facebook. I am blocked from viewing this account, so I am not sure if this was the whole message.

Yes, it’s illegal for elected representatives to block constituents, but he is like the old senator – not accountable to this community.

As everyone knows, I have never spoken about the councilman’s appearance, but I have spoken out against his bills for lobbyists and his failure to act for this community (See here) and for animals in NYC. (See here) While the Bay Ridge Democrats may not like animals, we do. We hate that dogs and cats are being killed weekly because Justin Brannan was silent.

CD 43 – Brannan Won, But The Results Show Democrats Voted Against Brannan

On election night, this was the results: Fox 12,145 to Brannan 11,890

On November 8th, Justin Brannan shared that there were 1399 Democrat or Working Families Party ballots. If all of them voted for him, he would win the election by around 800 votes. There were only 280 Republican absentee ballots.

BUT I DON’T THINK THEY DID.

I think there were a lot of Democrats who are tired of the current leadership because no one is managing this area. THERE WERE!

The Post said Brannan won only by 300 votes. (See here)

This low of a margin for an incumbent says A LOT.

What happened to the 1399 Democratic/WFP absentee ballots? There were Democrats who voted for Fox.

Brannan wasn’t a gentleman after winning. The newspaper referred to him as a sore winner. (See here)

This isn’t how a man who won an election acts!

Brannan still wanted to pretend it was a Republican red wave.

Brian Fox did incredible for a man people didn’t get to hear at a debate. Many people voted for him because the neighborhood deserves someone who is interested in leading and not playing politics with their party.

Brannan’s campaign this time was not clean like his last election. He refused to debate Fox. That’s part of the process for a election. It had nothing to do with the location or who were vacinated because they could have debated outdoors. The weather was great in September and October.

Brannan didn’t want people to hear about what he wrote on Twitter before the budget vote in 2020. He thought no one had seen it. Sadly, some of his reporters had seen it and one man who writes for the local paper saw it and didn’t tell you about it either.

His supporters went low by insulting Brian Fox’s clothes and making a social media account to harass Fox, (just like we saw Republicans do to Democrats in the past).

Fox’s team stayed professional and blocked the negative comments. Brannan supporters were taking down signs. (See here) Sadly, Brannan didn’t tell his supporters to cut the nonsense.
