Fresh off of running for the hills when asked if he committed mortgage fraud by a Republican tracker, Bob “Crooksy” Brooks is due in court tomorrow for his latest court date for screwing his former mother-in-law out of over $150k, after interest. Crooksy is basing his entire campaign off of his false “one of us” argument, but what Deadbeat Bob means is one of us as long as you’re not a minority. A majority of “us” liked Barack Obama, Crooksy sure as hell didn’t. I wonder why? They won’t ask him in court tomorrow, but it’s not like he’d tell the truth anyway.

Here we are a month after the primary and this con artist is heading to the court over money loaned to him in 2004, that he signed he’d pay back in 2008, that he lost his appeal over in 2022, and still to date has paid only a reported $100. There was an ethics report filed against him with the House of Representatives during the primary because he was just trying to pretend the lawsuit never happened. Crooksy thinks everyone will just forgive and forget that he’s stiffing his mother-in-law. His continuation as a candidate for the House is very Graham Platner-esque, which makes sense because they have the same consultants. These guys really pick only the best people.

There are rumors that Crooksy is drawing a look from the U.S. Attorney’s office, and I’m sure the Attorney General would like to take a crack at him over his “quit claim” on the property he stiffed his mother-in-law for. I actually don’t think it would be wise for either to open an investigation unless the statute is about to run out on this. He’ll still be as guilty or not next year and it would look nakedly political. Besides, it looks as though Deadbeat Bob will be spending significant general election time in the court room arguing this case anyway. Bob’s defenders have taken in private to criticizing the woman he stiffed out of the money, and I think it’s just a matter of time until they start trying to call her crooked, unhinged, and other evil words. Maybe she is. That doesn’t matter a single iota, as Bob signed the promissory note to pay her back. He acknowledged that he owed her the money, and he then did everything possible to not pay her. If he weren’t your political candidate, you’d call him a deadbeat.

Ryan Mackenzie deserves to lose in 2026. He voted for everything Donald Trump asked him to vote for, and Donald Trump is about as popular with the electorate right now as athlete’s foot. So of course the consultant class in DC and Harrisburg have saddled us with a pile of cow dung to get elected in this district. My plan is to just leave the race blank right now see what comes around in two years.
