The Kool-Aid Kronicles Part 14:

This is @JimLyonsMA, a/k/a Jim “Jones” Lyons, crackpot chairman of @massgop. He has almost single-handedly destroyed MA GOP in 4 short years & now wants another term to finish off the party once & for all.
He’s up for reelection Jan. 31. Despite not having won a single big race in 4 years, he’s still supported by a band of zombies who want him to continue running GOP as a suicide cult, a la Jonestown.
If you’re on @massgop & don’t guzzle the Kool-Aid, you might soon have a P.I. snooping into your background. Even though @massgop is broke there’s still $$$ for P.I.’s, one way or another.
Today, let’s consider more lost souls who refuse to abandon the sinking Jim Jones Lyons. Like Lyons, almost none could get elected dog catcher, only to @massgop.

These are the serial losers of Jim Jones Lyons’ Kool-Aid Cult.
Meet Rich Baker, age 63, of West Newbury. He has the usual electoral record, losing every time he runs for almost anything except state committee.

2008 Congress, lost, 29.5% of vote.

2016 Governor’s Council, lost, 42.8% of vote.

2018 Governor’s Council, lost, 36.3% of vote.
When you’re in Losers Club, you hang out with other losers, like millionaire John Kasich fanboy Rick Green of Pepperell, another failed Congressional candidate, 2018.
Like DoorDash Diehl, Greene also failed at getting elected @Massgop chairman. He lost to a Quincy lounge torch singer.
Rick Green likes to have his photo taken with other losers from the Kult. Here he is with Kathy Lynch, age 60, of Westford, failed state rep candidate.
On election day, bands of losers sometimes gather together to hold campaign signs for themselves & other bust-outs like Lyons.
Or they go to other losers’ campaign events. Does Rich Baker ever think to himself, “I really know how to pick ‘em, don’t I?”
When Baker was with Charlie Baker, he could even get elected to town office – assessor.
Now he has to rely on divine intervention, but if you’re with Jim Jones Lyons, not even going to church to pray will save you. (God told him, sorry Rich, you’re still a loser.)
This is Baker’s female counterpart on the committee, Amanda “I’m losing just as fast as I can!” Orlando, campaign manager of hapless loser Geoff “DoorDash” Diehl.
Here’s Amanda with a friend named Russell Morris. Morris is due back in state court in Salem Jan. 26 on charges of forcible rape & indecent assault & battery of a child under 14.

(P.S. We didn’t have to hire a p.i. to find this out. We called the Essex DA. It’s public record.)
With Baker & Orlando working the grass roots, MA GOP in 2022 lost 2 House seats in their district (formerly held by Lenny Mirra & Brad Hill), as well as 1 next door (Jim Kelcourse’s).
“All three gone?!?! Great work, Amanda! Mr. Lyons will be so proud of us! His plan to reduce the party to zero is working to perfection!”
Meanwhile, in the run-up to Jan. 31 election, Rich Baker continues to try to ID & reach out to potential new recruits for the GOP’s Kool-Aid Kult.
Meet Todd Taylor, age 55, of Chelsea. He’s not just in the Kool-Aid Kult, he’s on Jim Jones Lyons’ payroll like he’s a private eye or something. ($18,000 for “outreach,” as the party has shed 30,000 statewide members under Lyons’ lunatic leadership.)
Here’s Taylor’s record of losses:

2014 state rep, lost 31.9%.

2015 Chelsea City Council, lost.

2017 Chelsea City Council, lost.

2022 state rep, lost, 27.3% lost.
Here Taylor is with Donnie Palmer, a new recruit who’s off to a splendid start as a Lyons loser, getting crushed for Boston City Council at large in 2021 & then running up a whopping 15.2% of the vote in losing ’22 Congressional fight to Squad leftist Ayanna Pressley.
Somehow Taylor got elected to Chelsea City Council, then was destroyed running for state rep last fall. At left is his campaign manager, Paul Ronukaitus, age 67, another Kool-Aid Kultist, from Winthrop.
Wrinkly Ronukaitus loves Jim Jones Lyons because he’s the first person who ever bothered to return Paul’s phone calls.
Todd’s wife Regina is also in Kool-Aid Cult, so M/M Taylor represents 2 votes Jim Jones desperately needs in his failing campaign.
That’s Regina Taylor on left as 7 members of Losers Club get together for another photo op.

Wonder how much “outreach” Lyons will pay for Taylor if he’s reelected. More or less than Jones’ P.I.’s get for probing not-insane members of @massgop?

“Stop Us Before We Lose Again!”
Do you know the worst thing about being in Jim Jones Lyons’ Kool-Aid Kult?

You never win a single election. Not one.

The best thing? You don’t have to worry about having P.I.’s sniffing for dirt in your private life, like what’s happened to members of party’s not-insane caucus.
Meet James Dixon, age 68, of Waltham.

2010 state rep, lost, 26.2% of vote.

2011 state rep (special election), lost, 32.2% of vote.

Jim has a way with dogs. With voters, not so much.
Coming Thursday in the Kool-Aid Kronicles... here’s a hint.

BREAKING:

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.

BREAKING

KOOL AID KULT ELECTION-EVE UPDATE: Image
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.

The Kool Aid Kult Kronicles

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.Image
Image
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.Image

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.)
Image
Image
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." Image

Bust-out ex-state Sen. Dean Tran of Fitchburg had 1st court appearance after federal indictment on corruption charges today.

He's a charter member of the Kool Aid Kult, the bust-out toothless losers who almost totally wrecked the MassGOP. Now they want to return.

[THREAD]
Here's a photo album of future jailbird Tran with his GOP loser pals.

With Sen. Ryan Fattman and his hack wife Stephanie, who just paid $207,000 to state to settle campaign-finance violations: Image
