Great ad, not one lie told. I’ll tell you more about the great DEMOCRATIC firm that did it later. No, it wasn’t a MAGA hit.

Two decade deadbeat Bob “Crooksy” Brooks is mad- big mad. After having the DCCC put their thumb on the scale this week to try and shove him down the Lehigh Valley’s throat, after having Bernie Sanders call in favors to his friends in labor to stop donations and endorsements for his opponents, after having the Governor try and “convince” everyone to back him, Deadbeat Bob is mad that someone is coming in to spend money against him. I guess he not only thought that no one would care that he’s a deadbeat, a gun and religious zealot, indifferent to political violence, hates Barack Obama, and well, is a racist. He figured that everyone would behave like the PA Dems and ignore his ethics problems. I know Bob is dumb, but this is staggeringly narcissistic. Not everyone is SEIU.
Crooksy is first out with a statement (even before Crosswell, who was also hit in the ad), and damn it’s a doozy. I’ll post it below. Deadbeat Bob alleges the PAC that is supporting McClure is a MAGA pac, without any actual evidence (they have no online filings yet). He also calls on McClure to denounce the “MAGA pac” immediately. This is idiotic of course, but what did we expect from Crooksy? First off, McClure has said in the past that he opposes the Citizens United ruling that made all of these pacs a thing, so we know how he feels about it from that. Second, why would MAGA donors prefer a twice elected County Executive from the swing county in the district over a guy who tried to quit claim his property away to avoid paying a court ordered verdict? Of course they’d rather run against Deadbeat Bob. But third, and this is probably most important- once again Bob “Crooksy” Brooks is being a hypocrite, crying about dark money when his campaign is being funded in part by a super pac, Stronger Together PA. Hypocrite Bob thinks everything should be handed to him, but if anyone cries foul, they need to be denounced. Of course, he is the kind of guy that hated Colin Kaepernick because he protested police brutality, so what did we expect from him?
Anyway, Bob’s campaign has worked really hard to put out their hypocritical statement and run a campaign that was honestly dishonest- they wanted you to believe the lie that this man is a good and decent family man, and solid Democrat. I suppose since their whole campaign was a lie and a mistake, I’ll print their latest hypocritical bullshit here for you, the readers, to laugh at. Maybe some Harrisburg cronies will try to intimidate me again after this one too. Bring it on boys and girls, I’ll definitely take a lecture from people who support a deadbeat.


Look, I know I said he’s stupid, but Bob “Crooksy” Brooks makes sure to prove it, over and over again. This time is pretty funny. Any halfway normal candidate who is asked about his union endorsing Republicans in the past would have stopped with the “I’m just one vote out of eleven” part and left it there. Deadbeat Bob had to add in that Governor Josh Shapiro asked him to endorse Stacy Garrity for State Treasurer, who now is ironically his opponent for Governor. Crooksy really might be the dumbest SOB in politics.
This is what Josh Shapiro gets for getting this imbecile to run. Shapiro once famously was a part of a backroom deal to make Republican Dennis O’Brien the Speaker of the PA House after the Democrats had won the House 102-101, and in exchange they made up the job of “Deputy Speaker” for him. Now to be fair, the Democratic leader at the time couldn’t hold the whole caucus, so it’s fine, but they should have found a Democrat for the job instead. It’s definitely a concerning pattern, to say the least.
This is also a window into how Bob “Crooksy” Brooks thinks. This was an easy question to deflect for anyone with a functioning brain, but in his reptile brain he felt the need to push the blame to someone else. Deadbeat Bob could have taken the high road and said “we back who we think is best for our members,” or he could have said the part he said about being just one vote, or he could have done this- deflect and make it someone else’s fault. So he literally made a fool of his number one backer, the guy who is the only reason anyone cares who Bob is. The guy is not loyal to anyone. He threw the Governor under the bus to look better, he flipped his endorsement on Lamont McClure, he stiffed his ex-mother-in-law out of money and blames everyone else for that too. Deadbeat Bob is out for Deadbeat Bob. That’s all he’s ever been for, it’s literally how he got his current gig as Fire Fighters President. He’s the kind of “friend” you’ll be found dead if he’s in the fox hole with you, and somehow it’ll be your fault. He’s another John Fetterman.

In 2022, I opposed John Fetterman in the primary, even after it was obvious he would win. Even in the general election, it took me until 4pm on Election Day to drop my ballot off at a ballot box, because I really didn’t want to vote for the guy. His history of chasing a Black jogger with a shot gun, supporting Bernie Sanders, and his debate performances really turned me off to the guy. I feel vindicated by how awful he’s been. He was lucky though. Dr. Oz won the GOP nomination despite not living in the state, then decided to talk about incest and say that local governments deserve a role in abortion decisions. Now we’re stuck with this idiot.
Graham Platner in Maine is drawing a lot of comparisons to Fetterman. Obviously, he got a Nazi tattoo, something that should be disqualifying, but leftists love it. He posted hateful rhetoric on Reddit, attacking sexual assault victims, criticizing Black people for not tipping, and using homophobic slurs. His campaign is paying his wife, allowing him to profit personally and still collect his disability. Platner defended urinating on dead fighters and once was a Blackwater mercenary. This guy is a walking red flag, and he’s bad enough to make me appreciate Fetterman. This guy is a scumbag and I hope he loses.
Here in the Lehigh Valley, we have Bob “Crooksy” Brooks. Deadbeat Bob is trying very hard to stiff his ex-mother-in-law out of six figures of money he owes her. He hates Barack Obama. He hates Colin Kaepernick for opposing police brutality. He supports guns and school prayer. He’s at least oblivious to political violence, if not worse. He’s kind of stupid. There’s an ethics investigation into him. Man, I’d hate to hear how this guy talked as a bartender, wouldn’t you? Seems like a wonderful, tolerant, good person.
So what’s the common ground here, besides being awful human beings that shouldn’t be trusted with leadership in a society? Fight Agency, their media consultants. It’s worth noting that they’re also Ruben Gallego’s team, and he’s having some issues right now. They’re good at what they do, but man do they know how to pick ’em. Of course, beyond Fetterman being a scumbag, he’s also been a huge disappointment to most Democrats as Senator. Why should anyone not believe Platner and Deadbeat Bob will be the same? They clearly don’t *believe* in liberal values in any meaningful way, based on their actions. Why wouldn’t they end up just as bad as Fetterman, under the best case scenario? Don’t be fooled here. These guys aren’t good or decent people, let alone solid Democrats. It’s all a fraud, a scam, a lie. Reject it.

Far from me to ever agree with the Democratic Socialists, sometimes you kind of have to agree with someone when they’re right. If a rich guy wants to build luxury apartments and is following all zoning and planning laws in the community, they should be able to do that. This is why we have laws and really the success or failure should be on them- if people want the properties they’re selling, they’ll fill them. If they don’t, they’ll fail, and you know, capitalism or something. Obviously it’s in a community’s interest to have some high income people live in their community, within reason, and so I got giving them some public help when our community’s were down. The state and local governments subsidizing development in Center City Allentown 15 years ago, or in Bethlehem in the 90’s and 2000’s, or even in Easton up until five to ten years ago made some sense. That shouldn’t become a hard and fast policy though. Local leaders don’t need to subsidize these guys. It’s not like they’re willing to share in the profits with the community- that’s literally what they’re asking to do when asking for tax credits and RACP grants. We subsidize their profits. Again, that might make sense in areas that are really down. That’s not the Lehigh Valley in 2026.
When I graduated high school, you could rent in Easton for under a thousand dollars a month. Now you’re spending an easy two grand for anything kind of acceptable. That’s because the Easton area is desirable. Now yes, this proposal in front of County Council is technically in Wilson, but that is essentially a part of the Easton area. Rents don’t need to be driven any further up, they need to be driven down. If a developer comes forward and wants to build *low* income housing in the Easton area, the local governments can and should consider helping with that. It’s needed right now. High income housing? We have enough. Really, we don’t need more.
Now, of course I have to find a few problems with the DSA position above. Bernie already pointed out that they just are opposed to the current deal, not the project inherently. They also magically left the Republican member of council off, as one kind of expects from a group that only seems to protest Democrats. Magically they also left two Democrats off, ostensibly because they probably think they’re a “no” vote anyway, but what the hell here? It feels… selective. I don’t care though, they’re right on this and it’s time for local government to stop asking the public to fund big pay days for guys who already have a lot of money.
