Late last week, I shared a picture that NorCo Council member Kelly Keegan posted on Facebook It included some of the Lehigh Valley's most extreme Democrats, posing with Bernie Sanders. The picture also includes Controller Tara Zrinski, who is in a tough race with Amy Cozze for county exec. At a time when Zrinski is being labeled an extremist, this is no way to help her.
I've already told you about Ce-Ce Gerlach (standing on right side of Zrinski). But I did not tell you about the woman on the far left. That's Enid Santiago, a former State Rep. candidate who claimed her election was stolen (Sound familiar?) She actually spoke at the rally. She was introduced by former Congress member Susan Wild, who has apparently stopped pretending she's a moderate. Wild hugged Santiago.
And what did Santiago say during her 15 seconds of fame? "Fuck ICE!"
Despite that divisive remark, Keegan thought nothing of posting a picture of her with Zrinski and other far-left extremists.
I have several friends who lost children the fentanyl scourge over the past several years. On Friday, I spoke with a mother who still grieves over her daughter's untimely and unnecessary death. These days, she tries to discourage other kids from making the same mistakes her daughter did. I told her that her efforts are probably helping because the number of fentanyl overdose deaths has dropped.
"No, that's because Trump closed the border," she countered.
And she could be right. While he might have tanked our economy and is trying to remove safety nets that protect our most vulnerable, very few of us would argue against removing criminals who enter this country illegally. I know from personal experience, as a former federal prosecutor, that ICE agents do tend to have a high proportion of cowboys, but "Fuck Ice?"
A person who makes that kind of statement has lost touch with the blue collars.
Tara has little control over who poses with her in a group picture. But it was completely moronic for Kelly Keegan to post that group picture.
It was also idiotic for Congressional candidate Carol Orbando-Derstine to participate in a panel discussion with Santiago at a UNIDOS town hall last week. But Derstine is getting coached by Susan Wild.

This and Friday’s post might be the dumbest posts you’ve ever written.
Maybe if you’re a far-Left extremist who doesn’t want to be photographed with other far-Left extremists, you shouldn’t go to gatherings for far-Left extremists.
Just sayin’!
fuck ICE
Unbelievable but not unexpected.
Is Wild mentoring Carol or is she being paid by Carol ? If she’s being paid, doesn’t that cheapen the endorsement ?
When Tara loses, a picture on the Facebook won't be the reason. She lied to the press and the voters. Watch how fast Dems line up behind Amy next Wednesday!
Susan has really come undone since her loss. The real Susan is what we see now
Why is it so important to you that Zrinski hides who she is?
She was at an event with extremist democrats because she is an extremist democrat, and someone took a photo of it.
Why is that the fault of the person posting the picture (Keegan)?
The border is closed. Dow futures up a thousand today due to pending tariff deal. Cease fire with India and Pakistan. Last American hostage held by Hamas coming home. The democrats response is Fuck Ice and storm prisons holding murderers and rapists. Crazy! I am a former democrat, I don’t know what they stand for anymore except that they hate Trump, love open borders, and hate Law Enforcement. They need to wrestle their party back from the lunatics like the ones in this picture.
6:19. I agree, she lied to the press and the people. Thank God the press called her out on it during the debate. Hopefully the residents are aware
The point is, most citizens are fed up with radical Left nut jobs who show no bounds in their demands, their speech, and their behavior in public. Attempts to bully their way to whatever they want is rightfully being rejected.
It is insane that you think your shitty blog has that much influence over 300,000 NorCo voters. When you look in the mirror do you also see a 6'4" handsome man??? See someone about your narcissism.
Tank the economy? The media is trying to convince us the next Great Depression is coming. In the meantime I couldn’t find a place to park at the mall Saturday. Restaurants packed. I’m kind of hoping for a slowdown, then maybe I can get a seat in a restaurant. Oh, filled my tank this morning, gas 2.99. Nice.
And, not one word about Silent Tom’s Trump allegiance ?
Trump hasn’t destroyed the economy he inherited from the previous administration. He is quickly going to work trying to repair and rebuild what was wasted away. Problem is, Trump gets almost no help from the grifting, crooked members of Congress in his own political party, and of course, not the Democrats. Also no help coming from the controlled news media. I fell pretty good about this economy going forward. The man knows what he’s doing.
The fact that she lost and that she insulted the voters of Carbon County is what cheapens her endorsement. We'll know whether she is paid once Derstine files her first report.
I believe Tara is the better candidate. There is no way I can support someone who blackmailed the county by threatening to resign over her salary just 12 days before an election. The put herself ahead of the county.
There will be numerous opportunities to cover Tom Giovanni in the general election. There is no reason now bc he is unopposed.
I totally agree with your assessment, I to am a former democrat
I would have said: FUCK tRUMP!
What about in the general election Bernie? Are you on Team Tara? Your views on her have turned 180 degrees. Not sure what to make of it.
Bernie is an idiot if he thinks Zrinski is a moderate. Bullhorn Zrinski is a lightweight, and 1 of the worst candidates ever for Executive.
Borriiinnngggg! Can someone else start screwing up so this story can be put to bed already? Isn't it about time Taiba does something crazy? Who gives a shit about these people???
Stop your whining over this picture- the fact that you support such an incompetent opportunist for Executive is telling. Bullhorn Zrinskiis a wacky liberal who doesn't belong anywhere near the Executive's office.
The Biden economy was built on trillions in government spending. Any honest person knows that, at least the ones with brains in their head. Trump though, I’m not so keen on the trade war he started either. I’m withholding judgment right now. I gave Biden 18 months, by then he couldn’t walk up AF1 stairs, I’ll give Trump the same.
Bernie & his party are lost in the wilderness- let's be honest here, Zrinski is a poor candidate, only out for herself. I'm no Cozze fan, but after watching the debate, she is much more competent than the opportunist Zrinski.
found Kelly
These are all far left lunatics- please Bernie, stop being so gullible. Go for a bike ride and clear your head!
Keep your eye on another buddy (wingnut) of Kelly K surfacing in Forks Township for supervisor. At one time Amy Blum did not want to share her platform and "show her ammunition." Hope this does not mean my taxes will go up to support tampons in the men's rooms in Forks Township.
I can't stand Trump. But he closed the borders in about ten minutes and immediately began saving lives. The Chinese obsession with drugging our population goes back to the Opium Wars,. They see the US as an extension of the British and are hellbent on extracting vengeance. We view history in three-month intervals. The Chinese look at thousand year intervals. They want dead American kids and loved when Democrats shrieked "Fuck ICE," as their open border fentanyl flood continued unabated - until Trump. Remember, Baratta and Lahoud say Fuck ICE quietly as Baratta refuses to cooperate with ICE and endangers his citizens by forcing arrests of dangerous illegals released onto county streets vs safely in courthouse hallways.
Yes, Amy was clearly trying to hide her platform by...putting it directly in the press release announcing her campaign, and on her campaign Facebook page, and her website.
https://blumforsupervisor.com/
It can be difficult to find information about local races, but Amy has her priorities laid out clearly, and has since she got in the race.
In the primary I am for Zrinski bc I believe she has done a good job as controller, understands the county, has empathy for others that Cozze lacks and because she never blackmailed the county like Cozze did. In the general, I look forward to hearing both candidates explain their vision for the county on issues like salaries, retention, Gracedale's future, the jail, 911, tax breaks for developers, elections, housing, drug abuse, employment, child abuse, senior abuse, our bridges, etc. I believe both Zrinski and Giovanni are good persons and will vote for the candidate who I believe will do a better job. I am undecided and probably will remain undecided until I understand both better. One thing is very important. We need an Exec who deals with county issues and not whatever issue is on the country's front burner.
She’s not hard to find. Anytime there’s hate, bullying and stupidity, you found her.
And that’s exactly why he’s President. Morons with their TDS!
People need to know about the candidates and with Keegan being a radical, leftist, woke progressive, people who she supports aligns with her views. Can’t vote for those lunatics.
Anyone Keegan supports is a leftist liberal woke nut job. Pay attention.
But, actually, Fuck ICE
Seems Cozze is an opportunist too. Can someone please tell me how she is qualified to run the County? Tommy boy and Tara have served on Council and know how the County works. And let’s not forget Cozze is hand picked by Susan Wild.
smartest post on here...well said sir/ma'am
LOVE ICE!!! ICE ICE BABY!!!
May 12…what is wrong is that this Administration is making too many illegal snags and then not correcting their action. If ICE hooked one of your family members by accident, you would be going to El Salvador with cash to attempt to get them back, without the help of the administration. There are no audits, statistics, or transparency on how, who, where, or why…it’s a bunch of hyped up over zealous agents living out a tv dream of arresting, cuffing, harassing and embarrassing anyone they are pointed at.without any due process or law.
Wow, the first felon is destroying our laws, our Constitution, our jobs, and sticking his lawlessness in our faces as he and his billionaire love buddies attempt to destroy social security, Medicare/medicaid, and our future. It’s as clear as the fake tan on his face.
As a county employee and county resident I don't hold anything against Amy for what she did walking out 12 days before the election. The way Lamont and the county HR department treats employees I wish they all could walk out.
You are an example of what's wrong with democrats. Vote republican. Cozze and Zrinski are not qualified anyway despite all of this
Thanks for the response. I also believe our exec and county council need to focus on county issues. Zrinski has a history of forcing votes on environmental issues that have nothing to do with our county. She knocked it off as she got more time in. Keegan seems to have taken her place in that regard. My biggest problem with Zrinski is which is the real one? Her past actions are troubling to me. At least with Giovanni what you see is what you get. I wouldn’t even consider Cozze. If she beats Zrinski then it’s a no brainer for Giovanni.
You forgot the Big Pharma order he just signed. He’s having quite the week.
300k voters? The population of the county is 300k. Must be a democrat, everyone votes including kids and illegals lol.
Even Chuck Todd is going after Sanders the communist. Flying on his private jet “let them eat cake” lol.
Do you cult much?
Whoa, such intellect.
Well, OK, 11:55. Whatever you say. Bless your heart!
The Lehigh County prison is hiring although you will have to deal with a different type of prisoners there.
Bernie can you do a story on the fabulous weight loss drug that you haven't imbibe? That would be a top running story with all the factual adverse affects that could preclude many from being fit.
Zrinski and Cozze have already spent over 100k on the primary race according to Lehigh Valley News. For a job that pays what? 120k? Crazy!
Anyone who runs for a different office every year is not empathetic you idiot!
Anybody but Zeinski- she's a terrible person propped up by the NC cabal.
Cozze blew her away in the debate. It's a sad day for NC when someone so incompetent & narcissistic is supported by the NC cabal.
6:34 -- Utterly sickening. Filthy pig donors and filthy Pig Action Committees; all of them. Spend money to help people who need it; not on attention seeking local wannabes who loathe half the people they want to represent. Too much money in politics on all levels and special interests dominate the spending. Pigs.
County Exec. pay is $85K/year. County Controller pay is $80K/yr. Clearly, Tzara is jockeying for position for her next run at another office; possibly Boscola when she steps down. Cozze is no brass ring either, but she's gotta win this one to stick Tzara back into her hole at the Controller's Office. Well, no, she's never there. She's out campaigning during the work day.
Good one. LOL
Bernie is an idiot he still hates Trump who will be our greatest President ever.
This is your current Democrat party and you vote for it. When will people start changing their voting habits?
One of the biggest problems the County had was when Charlie Tuna - Dertinger was there. He thought he knew everything and was a nasty, ignorant, rude person. He tried to run every Department and didn't know his you know what from a hole in the
Carol OD’s campaign is already flatlining. No one is interested in her candidacy and Sue’s cynical attempt to make money off it is backfiring.
Very few will change their voting habit. I find it unbelievable that we have citizens actually believing that if an American President fails in his efforts and objectives, THEY will somehow win! I don’t get it. I suppose if your political party wins, what it means for the nation down the road doesn’t matter.
I think you are the idiot for being swept up by lies and unproven narratives from obviously a sole source…
Keegan's husband has Re-elect Keegan for school board signs up as if he is the incumbent. Kind of misleading to the average voter?
That does not bother me. He is recycling old signs.
Keegan is the worst
All crazies- the Republicans only need to plaster this picture everywhere!
If the average voter has any common sense, they will see the "Keegan" name and vote for someone else. I haven't seen his signs but he did file a report for spending $395 on yard signs. I suppose it's possible he's using old and new and the only the old ones say "re-elect" from when he was the incumbent? But it is misleading, I agree.
