You may not have seen those "CRAZY, CHAOTIC CRIMINAL" campaign signs because Sultana's children defaced many of them and were in fact nabbed in the act of doing so by a state trooper. She filed a defamation action over those signs, but her case was tossed by President Judge Craig Dally.
Before I tell you about Saturday night, let's review her recent history. She is the Council member who was charged in 2023 with assaulting her own adult son. After being placed on ARD, Sultana claimed that the charges filed against her by Easton police were racially and politically motivated. Easton police responded by releasing the body cam footage on the day of her arrest. to demonstrate that officers acted professionally in response to a 911 call for help. She has been a divisive presence, claiming among other things that she is the only person on Easton City Council who cares about the brown and black community. This should be news to Kenny Brown, who is both black and brown. In a failed bid for the state house, she submitted a false nomination petition that included the forged signature of State Senator Lisa Boscola. (Her photographer husband, Nadeem Qayuum, both circulated and attested to the forged signature. Believe it or not, he is a NorCo Council member elect). Over 250 Eastonians in her district called on her to resign, claiming that "[s]he has brought more division in the City and has continuously been combative with her constituents. ... She seems more interested in making headlines addressing national and international business as a priority."
Just two weekends ago, at a Christmas parade in downtown Easton, she attempted unsuccessfully to have Big Easy Easton Band leader Jeremy Joseph charged with harassment for telling her what he thought of her tenure with the city. Easton police filed no charges because there were no threats or harassment.
I thought that we all could take a Sultana siesta for the rest of the year. I was wrong. She struck again on Saturday night. That's when Easton West Ward's Community Initiative conducted its second annual tree-lighting ceremony at Paxinsosa Elementary, 12th & Northampton. Santa was there. Food vendors were there. There were arts and crafts for the kids. No long speeches. Sultana decided to come and bring her own version of Christmas cheer. In utter disregard for people who drive on busy Northampton Street, she double-parked her van on what is probably Easton's busiest road and left it there for two hours until police came and started to run the plate. She took over a table that was intended for people to be able to sit down and eat. But she had free toys. "I loved giving out free toys to the kids as Christmas gifts; their smiles made my night," she recounted on her Facebook page. But event organizers soon began receiving complaints from parents about those "free toys." She was handing out bar room darts. No, Not terf darts. They were honest-to-goodness bar darts. No targets. Just bar darts.
"You'll shoot your eye out!", parents were telling their kids.

Bring back insane asylums.
The crazy never stops with this woman.
Are we sure she is sincere and this isn't some sort of performance art thing she is doing?
Nothing burger here. As you stated, her zany husband won the nomination of his and your party. He now sits on county council. He represents his constituents well. Your criticism has a rather racist tinge. You insult all the Democrats who served him up for election.
No surprise a litigious misthanthrope like BOH would find fault with Taiba's kind gift to the children of her community and like his fellow Dems seeks a nanny state where sharp objects must be registered and age limited to protect the sheeple from themselves, Uhuru!
Just like alcohol it's beneficial to introduce potentially dangerous items to children at a young age so they can appreciate the gravity of their functions, for my son's 3rd birthday we got him an AR-15 chambered in .22 caliber he is very safe now with a variety of large calibers at 7 And has shot 3 inch groupings at 100 yards with my moisin nagant.
This woman is unhinged. And needs to go !!!
To be fair, it is a step in the right direction that she isn’t punching the kids in the face. Dart wounds to the face heel semi quick.
Wait until her husband takes his seat on county council. She will be stirring the pot either in person or pulling his puppet strings in the background. BO, you are going to have a lot to write about and it's probably not going to be pretty.
Mr Taiba winning is more indicative of the state of the Republican Party than the Democrat party.
Under any other time in history, he would’ve stood zero chance whatsoever, thanks for sticking us with this guy.
You obviously are imposing your bigoted western views, which are preventing you from overcoming cultural norms that impose limitations on the BIPOC community. Only by being inclusive and not assuming toys are "good" or "bad" can we strive to overcome the challenges we face in rising above our cross-cultural communication barriers.
When does he get his first bumpstock?
And no one towed her van or apparently removed her from the event? Sheesh!
She is the gift that keeps on giving.....maybe next year she can hand out red rider BB guns to the little one's......
The fact that BOTH Easton City & Northampton County voters were ignorant enough to elect not only her, but the husband too, tells you about the state of our Politics. With him & the rest of the lefty lunatics council Members coming into office, along with an incompetent Executive- we're in big trouble!
Nadim hasn't even assumed office yet, how do you know how he'll behave on council? This family seems toxic, so our hopes are not high. The only reason he is there is because the electorate just votes by party without doong any research. They get what they deserve, I guess.
