Meet Amanda Orlando, a 43-year-old divorcee from Gloucester, a devoted follower of @JimLyonsMA, crackpot chairman of @massgop who’s turned the state party into a political death cult.
Amanda was anointed campaign manager of @GeoffDiehl, perhaps the worst candidate in MA history, crushed so badly that some might have considered throwing themselves into the ocean in shame after the catastrophe that doomed so many legit GOP candidates down ballot.
For her abysmal efforts, Orlando was paid more than $46,000 – although that was much less than the $107,000 she okayed for Corey Lewandowski.
Back when it was expedient, Amanda simply adored @MassGovernor Charlie Baker, just like DoorDash Diehl kissed the RINO’s rear end, come to think of it.
Soon, Baker appointed her to a hack commission or two.
“I solemnly swear that I will do my best to finish off the two-party system in MA, so help me Jim Jones Lyons!”
Amanda’s first big fight was a special caucus for GOP state committee in 2017. She bonded w/male counterpart, committeeman Luke Noble of North Andover.
She was endorsed by Noble, who decided to run for selectman in North Andover. (Note how on flier she’s still using her married name Kesterton. Are her divorce records sealed up in Salem, do you suppose?)
Speaking of divorce records, her pal Luke’s 2020 campaign for selectman suffered a terminal blow when his own became public:
In the end, Luke Noble took a Diehl-like shellacking at the polls, but by then Amanda was onto new adventures, bonding with DoorDash Diehl. Here’s a picture of her with the highly-rated Uber driver & another new friend of hers, Russell Morris of Gloucester.
Amanda used to post many happy snapshots of herself with Morris, including one in which Amanda appears to be wearing an engagement ring.
But then last April Russell Morris was indicted by a state grand jury that charged him with forcible rape of a child under the age of 14, among other crimes:
According to Essex County DA, Morris’ next court appearance on the rape charges will be a non-evidentiary hearing in Superior Court in Salem on Jan. 26.
That’s just 5 days before Amanda will cast her vote to continue Jim Jones Lyons’ career as God-fearing chairman of @massgop.
Her male counterpart on committee is now Richard Baker, another Kool-Aid-swilling perennial loser political candidate, shown here on the left.
(Why isn’t the candidate in the middle of his own flier – don’t ask. If you’re in satchel for Jim Jones Lyons, you obviously haven’t got a clue about politics or anything else.)
Fat guy in middle between Lyons & Amanda is Brad Wyatt, failed candidate for national committeeman, a dear pal of embattled Sen. Ryan Fattman. Wyatt seems to have taken it on the lam of late – wonder why?
At far right is Ryan Hawke, another failed @massgop candidate, endorsed by Brian Genest – need I say more? Hawke lost his race 54-30, which makes him a rising star in the Kool-Aid Kult.
Footnote: when Baker & Orlando were elected to state committee, their district had 3 GOP state reps. Now there are zero. ZERO! That old Jones-Orlando-Diehl magic strikes again.
Amanda is a student at some random law school in North Andover (Luke Noble’s hometown) that does not require the LSAT & is unaccredited by the ABA. But she has garnered her share of awards.
Her next trophy should be from state Democrat party: First Runner Up, 2022 Most Valuable Republican – to Democrats!
Citation will read: “In the unlikely event that Jim Jones Lyons is unable to fulfill his duties of demolishing the party, first runner-up Amanda will no doubt ably complete the final destruction of the MA GOP….”
Finally, Falmouth PD handed over incident report from July 20 involving two McAlberts -- Jill Daniels & her elderly boyfriend Nick Marathas.
Check it out, I haven't read it closely yet but I did pull these gems re: Jill from witnesses whose names are all redacted but appear to be workers at the restaurant/bar, Shipwrecked.
Here's assorted witness accounts to FPD re: Jill:
She stood on the ramp screaming at me. Saying things like 'old hag' & 'c***."... She was shouting and being very animated and pumping her fist... She stated it was 'all about Turtle Boy' and the fact 'that I'm from Canton'... Jillian was yelling at me the whole time... I heard her say something like 'I bet you're for Karen Read.'"
Her wrinkly boyfriend Marathas is "known at the bar." I'll bet he is! He's from Canton, after all.
Marathas told police that he and his hideous gal pal "have been constantly harassed, provoked or screamed at because of the Karen Read trial."
One of the Cape locals called Jill Daniels "white trash."
Check it out! We'll be talking about this one on the show tomorrow.
Thanks to Falmouth PD! Better late than ever, and you guys did get a lot of good stuff in.
Do you want to formally complain about the atrocious police misbehavior in the failed Karen Read frame up?
Below is a link to the MA POST Commission form for submitting a formal complaint about the bent cops in the Karen Read case. The POST Commission is mandated to determine what misconduct should result in decertification of corrupt cops as "peace officers."
Beneath the form I'm also including a list of those troopers (and their salaries) who were in Proctor's chat group where he made his vile comments, just to refresh your recollection of who was involved in this sinister conspiracy.
Remember, not one of the six-figure greedy thugs objected to any of Proctor's disgusting comments. Not a single trooper reported him. In fact, his superior, the thug Bukhenik from Stoughton, even "liked" one of them. (Bukhenik is also the one who under oath "forgot" to mention the inverted sallyport videotapes that were introduced as evidence.)
When filling out your complaint forms, don't forget Kevin Albert of the Canton PD losing his badge & gun in Proctor's MSP cruiser after getting blind drunk working on a "cold case."
The more complaints the rotten MSP brass get about the vermin who tried to lynch Karen Read, or at least said nothing about when they heard what Proctor was doing, the more likely they will be forced to do... something.
In the center is perennial loser Deadbeat DoorDash Diehl. On his left, the woman who managed his dreadful 2022 campaign for governor, Amanda Orlando.
She signed some of the orders for six figures worth of unpaid DoorDash TV ads that are now the subject of litigation, and could leave the struggling Uber driver Diehl more than $250,000 in debt.
To the left of Biden voter Diehl is one Russell Morris, who needs the support of his dear pals this morning now more than ever, as he makes yet another appearance in Salem Superior Court after being indicted on charges of forcible rape of a child, among other unspeakable crimes. salemnews.com/news/glouceste…
Part 3: The Financial & Legal Wreckage of the Kool Aid Kult
In January 2019 when Jim “Jones” Lyons took over the MassGOP state committee, the party had $700,000 in the bank.
Four years later, when he was ejected in disgrace and ignominy, the party was $602,000 in debt – and had nothing to show for the previous four years except the loss of dozens of political offices, without a single pickup from the Democrats.
What happened?
The Kool Aid Kult.
And now the shut-ins and crackpots are desperately trying to regain power, after demolishing the state GOP for four years. Jim Jones Lyons and his top deputy, Geoff “DoorDash” Diehl, are attempting to wrest control of the state committee from normal people so that they can complete the destruction of Massachusetts as a two-party state.
We’ve discussed the Kool Aid Kult’s loss of every contested open race. Now let’s consider just how badly the party was run financially. Since Lyons was booted as party chairman a year ago, the party has had to pay a $15,000 fine to the state for campaign-finance violations involving two other members of the cult, Sen. & Mrs. Ryan Fattman, a couple of no-account Worcester County hacks.
But that’s not all. The new GOP leadership under Amy Carnevale has also had to pay a $6,450 fine to the Federal Elections Commission for “a series of reporting errors and other FECA violations during the 2021-22 election cycles” by Lyons, Diehl et al.
Like, not bothering to file reports. This is all on the Kool Aid Kult, and now they want a second chance.
BREAKING: Here's letter of response to me from City of Boston from last night about the order from Sec. of State to turn over the real CAD reports for Mayor Michelle Wu's house.
[THREAD]
They tell me again to get the docs from Boston Public Health Commission, but then inform me that "these reports... are confidential." (That's why I never bothered, because I knew it was a City Hall scam.)
Yet, as you can see in earlier Tweet, in March 2022 the city turned over to the Globe "records" of emergency calls that "show no ambulance was dispatched to her (Wu's) home to collect her for medical treatment."
