Montgomery County Democratic Part meeting last Thursday

Not a huge turnout, and not much news. A lot of candidates had petitions for signing sitting out, and I was circulating my petition for Congress. If any of you are a Dem or Undeclared, feel free to come by my office, 100 Bonner St. Dayton OH 45410 between 9am-6pm to sign- although Tuesday, the 27th, I’ll be at the South Dayton Dems meeting which starts at 5:30 (if the snow emergency is lifted). Location is: Fitz Center for Leadership in Community, 1401 S Main St, Dayton, OH, 45409. UPDATE- it's on ZOOM. Unlike the MCDP meetings, you might actually learn something and be around people who want to work to get Dems elected, not just the Monarchy/Friends and Family. They are also friendly and welcoming to all.

Their invite:

Professor Dr. James Todd Uhlman. Dr. Uhlman will explore the topic “How Liberals & Conservatives Think Differently,” offering insight into the psychological and cognitive differences that shape political beliefs and behavior.

This meeting is a great opportunity to start the new year with meaningful discussion, learning, and community connection. All are welcome.

Hope to see you on the 27th.

The Ohio 10 Congressional Seat race

So far, Mike Turner doesn’t have a primary opponent. Of course, knowing how Republicans work, someone else could be waiting in the wings to file at 3:59pm on Feb 4, 2026 as his heir apparent, and then Turner could withdraw. My guess might be Mega-Maga boy Rob Scott who is the current Kettering Clerk of Courts and Trump’s campaign manager from 2016 in Ohio. Don't believe this isn't in the party's bag of tricks? Ask George Kordalis how that worked out? Independent Patricia Campbell filed and ran so hard Kordalis packed it in- and she's the new judge.

On the Dem side, there’s me (if the Board of (S)elections doesn’t find some magic disqualification clause to disqualify my signatures - it’s been known to happen) and a gaggle of others. First to file and qualify to be on the ballot is Cincy resident Manuel Foggie- everyone else hasn’t turned in yet. https://www.foggieforcongress.com/

Hamilton County doesn't let you look up voter records like Montgomery or Greene County do so I can't tell you his voting record.

I’m not impressed by carpetbaggers, even if they manage to get the party endorsement (Amy Cox).

Tony Pombo who ran last time is giving it another shot. https://www.votepombo.org/

Kristina Knickerbocker 2678 Sutton Rd. Yellow Springs just picked up her petitions on Friday, despite announcing her candidacy with a website, an expensive looking video with a ton of stock footage like she was in Top Gun instead of being a nurse. Her candidacy can be summed up with: I’m a veteran and affordability. She’s not said much else but she’s begging for cash. https://kristinaknickerbocker.com/

Her voting record? She's technically not even a Democrat- never voted in a primary. And missed more than a few elections.

I tried to reach her before I pulled petitions, via email and by phone. Nada. If I want someone in Congress that’s unreachable, well, we already have Mike Turner. My question is who put the money into her campaign video? And before you announce like that- maybe you ought to have your petitions already in?

My site is www.electesrati.com and will be updated soon with some new positions: mostly that if I’m willing to fight to remove Mike Foley with “no authority” to do it, imagine how I’ll fight to remove Trump as your new Congressman.

To be fair- here's my voting record (notice- I don't miss any elections)

There may be some more candidates filing still. I’ve been so busy working on the Foley brief for the Supreme Court I haven't had time to dig around.

The Foley Follies continued...

Today I filed my merit brief in the Supreme Court of Ohio in State ex rel. Esrati v. Foley, asking the Court to answer a basic question James Madison would recognize: when a public official is convicted of crimes involving misuse of office, who actually has the power, and the duty, to remove them?

The Ohio Constitution says that certain convicted officials “shall” be removed from office. In Mike Foley’s case, a Montgomery County grand jury indicted him on 12 counts. A visiting judge accepted his no-contest pleas to felony and misdemeanor charges, entered findings of guilt, and sentenced him. At that moment, under Article II, Section 38, he was no longer constitutionally qualified to serve as Clerk of Courts. But instead of enforcing the removal mandate, the system closed ranks: the special prosecutor cut a plea that tried to avoid “collateral consequences,” the trial court later vacated the plea and sentencing, and most of the original counts were dismissed by nolle prosequi without any public trial. Foley stayed in office throughout.

When I filed a quo warranto action to enforce the removal requirement, the Second District Court of Appeals dismissed it on standing grounds, saying only the Attorney General, a prosecutor, or someone personally claiming the office can bring such a case – even when every one of those officials is conflicted or unwilling to act. My brief argues that this reading turns the removal clause into a dead letter. The Constitution cannot depend entirely on the good will of the very officials it is supposed to restrain. I am asking the Supreme Court to hold that Article II, Section 38 has real force: that it cannot be bargained away in a plea deal, cannot be nullified by inaction, and that there must be a narrow path for citizens to enforce it when all of the “watchers” refuse to watch each other.

Next, we'll have to wait for Jon Paul Rion to respond, which will take time away from his defense of the 83 year old Clark County man who shot and killed an Uber driver in cold blood in his driveway.

Here's the brief (as filed- amended with appendix.(update)

I tried to make it understandable for the common person.

Current Events 101- or the ticking time bomb in Minneapolis

You don’t need to come to Esrati.com to realize that what’s happening in Minneapolis is criminal. I’ve been doing some serious soul searching about what I would do to protect my neighbors who play their music way too loud very early in the morning and don’t speak much English if ICE showed up.

Yes, I’d film. Yes, I’d question. And, truthfully, this is where I wish I was a current member of a well-regulated militia o stand up to punks coming into my neighborhood armed to the teeth, dressed for combat and wearing masks. That’s not how our laws or our government is supposed to work – that’s the way the people who rounded up my great grandparents and took them to the gas chambers acted.

Here's the NYTimes video analysis. It's pretty clear this was an execution- not a police action. These are pussies in combat gear and masks.

Every time I see Customs and Border Patrol "Commander" Greg Bovino playing dress up, I think Gestapo wanna be. And I'm not the only one.

.

Renee Good shouldn’t have been shot. Alex Pretti wasn’t a veteran, but he cared for my brothers and sisters and was murdered in cold blood. It’s time to round up the members of Congress and the higher ups who support this,  and try them all for treason. Or, maybe we don't need to have trials anymore, Good and Pretti certainly didn't get them. And we can't wait 4 years like the January 6th commission- it needs to happen much faster.

I’m proudly Antifa. As in Anti-Fascist and starting Wednesday, you should be able to pick up my new t-shirt design for $15 at my office.

This is not a campaign shirt, those will be available on the website as soon as I get certified on the ballot.

Karl Keith's apologizes for taxes being too high and other laughs a minute

County Auditor for life, Karl Keith gave his state of the county tax problem address last week.

“Our residents have told us that they can’t afford their taxes at the level they are now,” Keith said. “The changes that have been made that will help homeowners in the future are good, but they aren’t good enough. More tax relief is needed.”

He goes on to say he doesn’t think Ohio has a property valuation problem, instead, it has a taxing problem. The auditor said he would like to see a state-funded expansion of the Homestead Exemption program, which provides savings to lower-income seniors and disabled homeowners.

And he sums it up as being the fault of the owners of the Cleveland Browns:"Last year, the state gave $600 million to the billionaire owners of a losing football team,” Keith said. “That’s more than half a billion dollars that could have been used to help seniors on fixed incomes stay in their homes.”

I have a different take on all of this: competent unigov would cut the governmental overhead so much we'd be able to buy the Cleveland Browns. 608-611 school districts in Ohio- (we can't get an exact count) - each with a superintendent, treasurer and a school board Let's just kid around- and say they all make $100K a year (some make less, a lot make a lot more) and we have a bill of $121,600,000. Switch to 88 School districts- one per county- and we only have to pay: $17,600,000 a cool savings of $104 million.

When you consider Jefferson township's district isn't as big as my elementary school (they only have 250 students) this is the beginning of waste busting. But, hey- we have over 2,266 townships and villages/municipalities in Ohio- each with a bunch of politicians and administrators- vs only having 88 counties... you start seeing the cost savings in a heartbeat.

Do we really need a mayor and council in New Lebanon who are paying $6K a month to a lawyer to get them out of the legal messes they've made? Or do we need Miami Township, which is bigger than all but 3 cities in Montgomery County- and facing a $45M judgement that they can't pay and the Supreme Court just told them to go pay it- don't bother us kid? Or a County Sheriff who runs a house of horrors where they kill and beat inmates routinely and we get stuck with the bills- and he has some kind of immunity?

There are two problems with our property taxation system: we have way too many jurisdictions, banana republics- and even more semi governmental slush funds like "Educational Service Centers" and "the Downtown Dayton Partnership" and the "Dayton Development Coalition" and the Miami Valley Regional Planning Council" and Metroparks, and the Montgomery County Jobs and Family Services and Public Health Department - all of which have so little financial oversight it's embarrassing.

The second part of the problem is our crazy valuation system.

Most wealth in America gets taxed when it’s realized. If your stock portfolio doubles, you don’t get a tax bill just because the market moved; you pay when you sell. But with a home in Ohio, the government effectively taxes you on price swings you didn’t cash in. Reassessments turn “unrealized” housing gains into a real annual bill, even if the increase is driven by your neighbor’s remodel or a hot market, not anything you did. That’s the disconnect: the rich get deferral; homeowners get mark-to-market. And the sheriff gets to be the number one realtor in Montgomery County- seizing your wealth because you couldn't pay the current vig- and you get screwed. If this was 1776 the founding fathers would be dumping tea into the harbor and going to war.

Karl and the rest of them are criminals, kowtowing to the billionaires running our country into the ground. The correct answer is to STOP re-valuing properties based on "market rates" and start trying to provide services efficiently with minimum governmental overhead.

    Good & Pretti would Both be alive today if they followed the commands of Law enforcement….. Period !

    So Dave is a proud Antifa member ?

    LMAO Good Luck Getting Elected

    Why does the antifa flag look like the Nazi flag? Your Jewish friends will be so proud. NOT !

    ESdzCrbXYAAkgre.jpg

  2. Tim

    77 million people voted for Trump to close the border and get the illegal aliens out of our country. What about those people’s voices? Don’t they count?

    Dave, I guess you can’t add a link or edit via smart phone since your latest update…

  3. Tim

    And the Rest of the Story……

    The parents of Alex Pretti say their son quit his hospital job months ago and had shown “unusual behavior” recently. “He seemed to have joined some kind of group. We warned him two weeks ago — protest if you want, but don’t engage, don’t do anything stupid,” his father, Michael Pretti, told reporters. “He said he understood.” But it wasn’t until police pulled messages from Alex’s phone that the truth began to emerge — and what investigators found.

    It seems that Pretti’s parents didn’t want him participating. It seems Pretti allegedly scrubbed his social media presence one day prior to his actions leading to his death. When you make decisions based on emotions, you make poor decisions. He made bad decisions.

    I’m a 2A absolutist. You have a right to carry, not a privilege.

    But rights come with restrictions, you need your ID & permit on you. Reports say Pretti had neither.

    He wasn’t carrying legally.

    Dave, Dayton is not a sanctuary city. Maybe you would have a different view if you lived in a sanctuary city !

  4. jonathan b

    Great writing in pointing out the grotesque school districts. I’ve always thought they were a way to separate poor from rich and black from white. And with private schools grabbing a billion tax dollars (unbelievable), there’s no need to attempt anything fair for the poorest districts.

  5. Melissa

    Thanks for all of the information, David, and good luck to all worthy candidates.

    Apparently, Ohio is not a sanctuary state, but has some counties that are.
    https://www.dispatch.com/story/news/2025/01/24/sanctuary-cities-ohio-state-counties-kentucky/77908705007/

    Tim, did you have your gun and papers on you when you failed to follow law enforcement orders and invaded the Capitol on Jan. 6? Perhaps you chose not to carry a gun on your person while in Washington, DC because the city didn’t permit guns within the city limits? BTW, don’t preach of following the law when you so flagrantly broke it. Also, provide fact-based sourcing on what you discuss, please, so we can follow along.

    In my opinion, the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti by DHS/ICE/CBP contractors/employees were unlawful, lethally excessive in force, and indefensible. Full stop.

    As to the opinions of Trump voters, of course their opinions matter because they are Americans. That said, however, it is possible to have chosen unwisely at the time and have regret for choices afterwards when things don’t pan out. I suspect that has happened to every single American at one time or another. It’s obvious Trump’s heavy handed tactics are not working and need to be amended. Even Trump sees that, hence fascistic Greg Bovino’s departure and adulterers Kristi Noem/Corey Lewandowski being taken to the Oval Office woodshed.

    History is repeating because greedy bastards are unimaginitive and lust for power. Stop listening to old criminals like Donald Trump, Roger Stone, Paul Manafort, Steve Bannon, Michael Flynn, Phil Waldron, & old neocons/lawyers. Losers all, then & now.
    https://x.com/AntiToxicPeople/status/1359691508945805314
    https://x.com/TonyT2Thomas/status/1541867879049707521

    I welcome factual, logical, respectful, constructive dialogue in hopes of finding common ground to govern and live. Trump’s Retribution Tour is not working.

    I agree with David, Tim and Jonathan on the need to stop lies & corruption, stop wasting valuable taxpayer dollars, have a viable secure border policy with legal/ethical enforcement mechanisms, follow all laws, remove bad laws/policies, work together, and find better ways to achieve equity for each of us. Is that so hard?

    If so, then we will get the government we deserve and it won’t be pretty.

  6. Tim

    Melissa, most of the Democrats are the nut cases that kill people the stats don’t lie…..

    I see they have removed the plus and minus count probably did that for you because all your posts get 5 or 10 minus signs / thumbs down.

    Dave don’t wanna show the people what other readers actually think, that’s pretty shitty…. But what do you expect we’re dealing with antifa Democrats at this point ?

  7. David Esrati

    @Tim Hart- the problems we’ve been having with the theme- have disabled the plugin that allows the plus minus to work. Trust me- I can’t wait to thumbs down you some more.

  8. David Esrati

    A few updates since I posted- I’ve added the NYTimes video analysis of the Alex Pretti execution in Minneapolis. It will be interesting to see the video from Pretti’s phone- and the bodycam footage when the government gets clobbered in court.
    I’ve added the final filed Merit Brief against Foley- I was missing an appendix in the original filing.

  9. Tim

    Great sounds awesome. Can’t wait to see all the thumbs down for urine and Melissa’s post either.

    As for execution that guy & gal would both still be alive if they listened and followed the directions of law-enforcement, so classic example of FAFO.

  10. Melissa

    Speaking of urine, Tim, did you see this MAGA nutjob attack a member of Congress?
    https://apnews.com/article/ilhan-omar-attack-sprayed-town-hall-attack-c785b49b2c770b7aed1cdbb75df0a35f

    Riddle me this, Batman:
    Did you have your gun and papers on you when you failed to follow law enforcement orders and invaded the Capitol on Jan. 6? Did you choose not to carry a gun on your person while in Washington, DC because the city didn’t permit guns within the city limits?

    TIM: “As for execution that guy & gal would both still be alive if they listened and followed the directions of law-enforcement, so classic example of FAFO.”

    MELISSA: Practice what you preach. You wouldn’t have a Trump pardoned criminal record on your back if you had heeded your own words.

    Also, provide those Dem “stats”, Tim, but know I’m not interested in listening to you break wind. Here are some “stats” for you (J6 criminals are now DHS/ICE/CBP thugs?).
    https://bsky.app/profile/pacantifa.is

    As for antifa, here’s what Wikipedia says about it. Trump is breaking political wind on that, too, by designating “antifa” a domestic terrorist organization. I know one thing, I’m not a supporter of fascism, political violence, or government sanctioned executions of innocent/untried (juried) civilians – American or otherwise. Are you?
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antifa_(United_States)

    Last, I don’t comment for “likes”. I like to think for myself and try to explain my position. I can live with people who disagree with me because I can support my positions and I try to learn from others to see their perspective. I can and do change my mind. That said, however, I don’t support immoral criminals and violent political operatives who are also rigid, unbending, perverted, and hidebound in their racist, women hating, ignorant ways.

    You can be part of the sheeple flock, Tim. What you cannot be is a person who works to take down our form of government, rule of law, and foment violence/rebellion.

  11. Melissa

    I’m no Einstein and can be petty, but a good sense of humor helps …

    https://bsky.app/profile/skroberts1.bsky.social/post/3mdiycce4rk2a

    I don’t think Melania was especially brainy working on her back for a speedy visa, but she did knock Jeffrey Epstein’s former girlfriend off Donald Trump’s arm the night they met and went on to first having sex on Epstein’s plane, so there’s that …

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relationship_of_Donald_Trump_and_Jeffrey_Epstein

    This bites, though …

    https://www.daytondailynews.com/local/opinion-trumps-jan-6-pardons-increased-risks-to-public-safety/6R33IAUCIZD5DPUIINT2RMQ7XQ/

    I guess Trump’s siccing ICE on Springfield, Ohio next. Mike Turner, Jon Husted, Bernie Moreno, Mike DeWine, JD Vance, and all the rest of the Ohio Republican thugs will be there for the government “support”. When Trump 2.0 has your back, expect a bullet…

  12. the Old Bandito

    …we’ll disagree without becoming disagreeable Tim Hart. Methinks David should make his allegiance to Antifa the cornerstone of his campaign. Nothing wins the respect and love of the good voters of rural Greene and Clark counties than a candidate who professes devotion for domestic terrorist organizations.
    Furthermore, David’s future dispatches about his new-founded affiliation should be enlightening. Does, for example, Antifa have an initiation similar to the Hells Angels? Does Antifa charges dues, have a secret handshake or decoder ring? Or perhaps a softball team?
    And we hope David’s intentions are serious and not a ruse to pick up chicks. The Antifa women I’ve witnessed have high BMIs, hair colors out of a spray paint can and faces that remind us of such phrases as “butt ugly.”
    Furthermore, there appears to be an air of sexual dysphoria among David’s new playmates. So much that there is a allied organization known as Transtifa. If David is sending us a subtle message, may I recommend he choose not to wear fishnets.
    Here’s hoping, Tim, that Dave sells lots of t-shirts…

  13. David Esrati

    @Bandito and Tim- I’m glad I included you both in the headline, “punks.”
    For the record Bandito- the R’s in the Statehouse redrew 10 again- so Clark county and it’s dog and cat eating community isn’t part of Turner’s district anymore.
    And Bandito- I’ve seen your ugly toothless mug up close and personal- I think I’m just fine at picking up chicks without my Antifa shirt.
    But- I’ll let you Fascists keep your insane love of a moronic emperor keep you happy.

  14. The Old Bandito

    …we are agreement dear David. The years have not been kind to the Old Bandito. And I’ve gotten even uglier since our last close encounter. By city ordinance, I must now wear a cow bell while in public. This, in the tradition of lepers, to give advance warning of my approach, allowing eyes to be averted and children not being frightened.
    However, my decline is the expectation of age. Females in your new dating pool self-mutilate themselves with septum rings, orange hair and asses worthy of “wide load” signs and State Patrol escorts…
    .

  15. Melissa

    I don’t believe a word about your afflictions / detractions, Old Bandito, but I did have a good laugh at you wearing a cow bell in public. You and David are pretty funny with your repartee. I hope you haven’t lost all your teeth from hockey pucks and your dating pool isn’t frigid!

    Don’t take dating advice from this guy.
    https://bsky.app/profile/rbgprevails.bsky.social/post/3lyddb2n7jc2g

    Most guys like spirited women. Are these working gals more to your liking, OB?
    https://youtu.be/pf9XhdFLhKM?si=8nDXtzZzaWY0gAoF&t=73

    If not them, then maybe this guy? He won’t pull out, so get a safety word…

  16. Tim Hart

    Dave give it up buddy antifa has been designated as domestic terrorist organization. Congratulations. You’re part of it now it looks like with your nice little black shirts.

    To Melissa, everything you say the opposite is true I’m not gonna waste my time explaining it again.

    Trump is doing the world‘s largest sting operation right now on all these crooked Democrats rhinos and deep skaters. If you guys can’t see it in the news, you need to polish your little glasses off.

    I went to the Capitol to protest January 6 because the 2020 election was stolen from Trump. Looks like you’re gonna find out first that the red state of Georgia was guilty first. I believe they did it that way so you wouldn’t think they were picking on the blue states but oh my God wait till you find out. I don’t care about who you vote for. I just want everybody’s vote to count for the right person.

    Democrats and rhinos have allowed this crazy fraud from Minnesota to California 280 some hospice providers within a 2 mile radius of LA scammers

    But don’t worry, we caught them all !

    This is all rolling out exactly as Q posted over eight years ago….

    Lucky looks like the saint that you thought the VA nurse was ain’t all it’s cracked up to be guess he can’t really kick it out a tail light of a Federal authorities vehicle and get the same status as a non-violent protester….

    So everybody reading this basically sit back and watch the world’s biggest Rico stinging operation take place. I know I am. And I’m gonna enjoy the hell out of it. !

    Everybody stay safe and warm out there !

  17. Melissa

    At least I agree with Tim on something: “Everybody stay safe and warm out there !”

    Donald Trump and Tim Hart LOST in 2020 and have NEVER recovered! SAD!

    It says so much that Tim clings to “Q” and the anonymous online crap that spews forth. While people have a right to choose what to believe, some never seem to smarten up. Of course, Tim won’t take time to defend anything – MAGA never does.

    Trump’s DOJ, FBI, DHS, ICE, CBP are doing his corrupt dirty work & complicit Republicans say okay. Innocent American citizens do not deserve this and will continue to resist. Losers like this young government thug should be fired & jailed.

    Tim Hart and Donald Trump’s MAGA Army are coming for all American families.

    I’m starting to see why so many people “disappear” from the southern border. With thugs like these Border Patrol guys working for our government, it appears America’s past bad actions from CIA Latin American foreign policy have come back to haunt us.
    https://bsky.app/profile/pacantifa.is

    So much winning? It’s costing us so much money – money lining Trump’s pockets to finance his next move – a fugitive in a foreign land to avoid a federal jail cell.

  18. Tim hart

    Melissa, you literally need mental help at this point. Trump is uncovered approximately 9 billion and fraud from Minneapolis. And this Am on Fox News they uncovered more fraud with the hospice system in LA 280 some hospice treatment facilities within a 2 mile range and the addresses were basically vacant strip malls. But you wouldn’t know that because you watch that fake new CNN or you might even be a MSNBC nut, but I’ll tell you what those stations are gonna get in big trouble for lying to the public like they do and trying to start crap !

    Everybody have the day you deserve !

    Especially all the Democrats, rhinos, and deep state supporters like Dave !

    You’re gonna find out the hard way to was military intelligence using back channels to keep those that actually give a shit about the country informed.

  19. Donald Phillips

    Oh Mr Esrati! I winced at your ANTIFA shirt-wearing photo. I realize that ANTIFA is not an organization, but I appreciate that it might be classified as as one–a terrorist one. You could become smothered in a federal persecution morass or a S.L.A.P. action, leading to ruination. I’m not suggesting you look the other way, but look before you leap.

  20. Melissa

    Watching MAGA News again, Tim? Mehmet Oz, a son of Turkish immigrants who holds dual citizenship in the US and Turkey, and who served time in the Turkish Army, is hot on the trail of crooked Ruskies? Lots of fraud is “probably” happening because lots of people are now in CA hospices? Calling aging Boomers…
    https://bsky.app/profile/zobear.bsky.social/post/3mdlopwrtas2r

    I hope money from ANY discovered fraud is recovered and returned to American citizens, Tim, but we’ll see how it all shakes out in due time. Trump hasn’t returned ANY money to us at all, not even from his DOGE debacle.

    In fact, Trump has spent Treasury money like a drunken sailor on shore leave. He has jacked up our debt load with unnecessary war costs and damages heaped upon US citizens, lawful immigrants within our borders, and bombings on hapless foreign citizens, much without judicial authority.

    As to my mental health, you don’t know me and are not qualified to speak on the subject. We simply disagree. That doesn’t make me someone who needs “mental help”. Now, I have not said that you are mentally unfit, just that you are not as informed as I would have hoped.

    Again, no comment from you, Tim, on your gun status on J6 in DC, if you were packing in DC, and why you decided to break the law in the Capitol on J6. Crickets …

    Trump is a perverted criminal – always has been, always will be. Let me know if he delivers what you asked him to do, Tim, and how that benefited you. Look here in these government files for the latest DOJ Trump mentions.

    I don’t know what military intelligence back channels of which you speak, Tim, since you don’t ever source a damn thing. Provide those. Speaking of military intel, former and disgraced general Michael Flynn so wants to be relevant, but he’s not. Flynn is still as crooked and treasonous as he ever was.

    US House Rep Jim Banks (R-IN), an associate of US House Rep Mike Turner (R-OH), told us what a dirty birdie Flynn was. I wonder if Banks & Turner are on the same page today. Banks was even singing Robert Mueller’s praises!

  22. Herbert Morris

    I call on David and or Melissa to take in up to 3 illegals into your homes and house them for a year. I call on anyone who supports illegal criminals to take them in since you want them living in your cities. If Obama can ask ICE to deport up to 3 million illegals with no protests, then Trump can do the same..Tell me, David or Melissa what the difference between Trump’s ICE and Obama’s ICE, and their deportation policies, which are the same. This is why I left the Democratic Party. Look what that guy Pretti did, he kicked in a federal law enforcement vehicle and spat in the direction of ICE.. Have both of you seen the video? I have. It’s on Fox News, watch it. They are supposed to drive away? ICE is coming to Springfield soon and I dare you David and Melissa to go stop them.. This is your chance to stop ICE, you’ll fail..IF Obama sent ICE into Springfield, you wouldn’t even raise an issue but both you David and Melissa have Trump derangement syndrome! Dems are disgusting these days! They would protest good things if Trump suggested it!

  23. Tim Hart

    What Herbert said times two…..

    I was carrying no gun on January 6 there are you happy ?
    Only Antifa I would do something that’s stupid !

    And you make it easy to tell that you’re a nut case like Dave tried to support illegals and OK with the fraud that’s been going on before Trump even got here…. That’s called. Trump derangement Syndrome and you both have it covered out your ears. LMAO…

    Typical democrat propaganda if you can’t beat them with facts go after their appearance. What are we 12? ?

    Evidently, STDs rot your brain !

    Have the day you deserve ! Lmao…

    More arrest coming soon !

  24. Melissa

    That’s fine, dudes! I’m not mad at you!

    Good job, Tim! I’m glad you kept your lawlessness to just entering the Capitol on J6.

  25. Melissa

    Herb, I would take in this sweet child and his family, if I could. How about you or Tim sponsor them?
    https://apnews.com/article/immigration-minnesota-boy-detained-a1ef2144c03a0136ef123f5a3685ee44

    “… Detained families report poor conditions like worms in food, fighting for clean water and poor medical care at the detention center since its reopening last year. In December, a report filed by ICE acknowledged they held about 400 children longer than the recommended limit of 20 days.”

    As you might imagine, this child has been suffering while in detention. The child was brought here with his family, which may or may not be a crime. They had applied for legal asylum, which is a tenet of our democracy, prior to ICE thugs abducting them on their way to preschool.
    https://www.aclu.org/sites/default/files/field_document/FINAL_criminalizing_undocumented_immigrants_issue_brief_PUBLIC_VERSION.pdf

    Any decent human being would not want a child to suffer (except Stephen Miller), but Trump 2.0 has that daily quota bonus all the DHS thugs want. Apparently, very small children are worth the same as the parents. In slave trader days, it wasn’t that way.

    As I have previously stated, I support deporting adjudicated criminals.

    “… Former President Barack Obama formally removed 3 million non-citizens from the U.S. over two terms – more than any other president in American history, according to data from the Department of Homeland Security. In comparison, President George Bush removed about 870,000 people; Bill Clinton, about 2 million; and Donald Trump about 1.2 million people during his first term. The DHS defines a removal as a formal court order expelling a person from inside the U.S. Obama does not hold the record for returns, a separate statistic addressing individuals turned away at the border prior to entering the U.S. According to the Migration Policy Institute, immigration and enforcement policies and practices under the Obama administration focused on recent unauthorized border crossers and those who had committed crimes. When combining removals and returns, Clinton expelled about 12.3 million people, the most of any U.S. president overall.”
    https://elpasomatters.org/2025/02/13/gigafact-fact-brief-most-deportations-obama-trump-removals/

    It looks like Democrat presidents focused on criminals and deported more illegal entrants than Republican presidents – all without the crap ton of violence, vitriol, chaos, fiscal waste, and military involvement we have under Donald Trump. Imagine that!

    NEWS YOU CAN USE: Donald Trump is a pedophile and also a pedophile protector! LOCK HIM UP!

    justice dot gov forward slash epstein (make sure you’re over 18 to read & weep)

  26. Herbert Morris

    Melissa, I and most Republicans want illegal criminals either locked up and or deported! It’s the Dems who protect these illegal criminals should be taking them in, not myself or Tim. I’m as far right as you can go on immigration! Melissa, head to Springfield to stop ICE! You fight for these criminals so now prove it..
    Dems are told to resist! That’s why it’s in the news. The media tells you or organizers of these protests tell you to resist at any cost, that cost is life! You listen to them!
    Let ICE do their jobs!

  27. David Esrati

    Herb, was Alex Pretti and illegal criminal? We have ways to catch, try and prosecute criminals- it’s not by sending masked stormtroopers into the streets. STFU and go away.

  28. Herbert Morris

    David, I know you’re running for Congress as a Democrat! Prediction: If you get to the general election you will lose! You may get an extra 3% more because of opposition to Trump but you will lose to Turner between 58-42 and 56-44. If things go really well you may get 45% but you will lose. No democrat has received more than 45% against Turner since 2002.
    Pretti was obstructing law enforcement.. That’s what you democrats are instructed to do, David, why don’t you go to Springfield and do what Pretti Did.. Kick in a law enforcement vehicle. You won’t stop ICE.
    Also being Antifa is a crime by the Trump administration. You should be reported to Trump administration for being antifa.
    Pretti was obstructing ICE. I dare you to do that(obstruction) in Springfield.. you will lose to Turner, the margin may be closer by 3-4 percent but you will lose by 10 points minimum. You have no chance! Quit now!
    I’ll be out on the streets of Ohio 10 reminding people not to vote for you. I’m a MAGA Republican now. I wasn’t in 2022. I will be voting Turner. You would be a lousy congressman.
    What’s worse is I was on your side, until your comments here, now I’ll be campaigning against you personally! Good luck getting between 42-45 percent of the vote and losing to Turner again. That’s the best case scenario. Worst is losing 62-38 to 59-41. Good luck getting endorsed by the Ohio Democrats! Maybe you’ll get a mailer sent out on your behalf. lol. The Ohio Democrats didn’t endorse you in 2022 and you won the primary.
    You’ve gone so far left as a party in the last 10 years that when Obama sent ICE into communities there was no protests..
    You will never win a seat in Congress. You treat your potential constituents like crap! I’m MAGA now. Trump 2028! You don’t behave like a candidate for office should and you will lose! Losing by 20 points to Turner is my goal! You’ve pissed off a lot of people over the years and I will be out there reminding people of your demeanor!
    I was on your side David, until today! I’m going to be out there campaigning against you personally! If you can even make it past a primary! Everything I said assumes you win the primary..
    You don’t act anything close to what a congressional candidate should! STFU!

  29. Herbert Morris

    Oh and you forgot that these are illegals, not US Citizens. Obama deported 3 million illegals David and you probably didn’t say a word. Actually illegal criminals, not US citizen criminals. You confused the rights of both, we have rights, illegals don’t! Not very educated for someone running to be a congressman! Pretti obstructed law enforcement. Illegal criminals go to jail or be deported! It’s that simple!
    I will say it’s sad that Pretti lost his life but that teaches us not to obstruct law enforcement, period! Democrats will never learn not to obstruct law enforcement of any kind.

  30. Herbert Morris

    Lastly, I will say.. the Trump administration has ended the legal protection program of all Haitians in the USA as of Feb. 3, 2026 so yes, ICE has legal right to go to Springfield and deport all Haitians, not just criminals. Look it up David. Now don’t be dumb and go stop them. Trump is in the right in Springfield!
    Turner for Congress by 10-16 points!

  31. Melissa

    Herb, it looks like David’s “STFU” triggered you. I hope you got some sleep last night!

    That sweet innocent babe is back home with his family. His father seems like a very caring Dad who loves his son very much. If only every child could have a good parent’s love. I wonder if Donald Trump had received unconditional love from his racist dad and unavailable mom as a kid he might have turned out different.
    https://apnews.com/article/minnesota-boy-liam-conejo-ramos-fc958185cd2b4e946b82081be11bc0f6

    Remember 6-year-old Elian Gonzales who was found by fisherman floating alone in the ocean on an innertube in late 1999? He was brought to the US by the Coast Guard, a custody fight ensued between his Miami FL maternal relatives (mom died during journey) and his still in Cuba Communist dad (he won). INS and Border Patrol’s BORTAC team raided the house in 2000 and snatched little Elian from the arms of his relative where they were hiding in a bedroom closet – all at gunpoint.

    “…Approximately 100 people protested against the raid as it took place, with some calling the INS agents “assassins”. Then-New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani described BORTAC agents involved in the seizure of Elian as “storm troopers” at least six times. Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association reacted with “strong disgust and dismay” to the Nazi imagery and demanded Giuliani’s apology…” (Oh my!)

    The AP photographer covering that breaking news, Alan Diaz, won the 2001 Pulitzer Prize for Breaking News of that trauma-laden incident. Two other journalists won Pulitzer Prizes for looking into the problems, abuses, and needed reforms in the US Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS), the harsh treatment of foreign nationals, and the predawn raid by federal agents.

    Elian is all grown up now, a dad, an engineer, and an elected official of the Cuban Communist Party. He says if he had a God, it would be Fidel Castro.

    Yes, we must have secure borders for national security. Yes, we need to know who is in our country (talking to you, FBI, over 9/11 pilots here 2 years before & YOU KNEW ABOUT IT!). Yes, foreign policy development and trade negotiations can be difficult. That said, however, we need to have lawful foreign policies that foster good will, humane treatment, legal compliance, effective enforcement, all working towards the implementation of the good democratic values we say America stands for.

    Trump 1.0 / 2.0 & “W” Bush neocon lies did not, and do not, win the hearts and minds of anyone (talking to you, Condi). Foreign policy is messy. So is clinging to false idols. It’s been 25 years since SCOTUS gave Bush the 2000 win and Elian was forcibly removed from our soil at the butt end of a gun by BORTAC goons.

    When will we learn? I hope it’s soon so we all atone before we die & meet our maker.

  32. Melissa

    Like Herb, my sleep was deprived into the wee hours. I couldn’t stop reading the Epstein files. All my neurons were clacking and whirring and it wasn’t due to Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) or Trump Devotion Syndrome (LOL).

    I couldn’t settle my mind after I read Bill Gates got a sexually transmitted disease (STD) from Epstein’s Russian sex friends. Apparently, Gates wanted Jeffrey Epstein to get him some antibiotics that Gates could then feed surreptitiously into his wife, Melinda Gates, and innoculate her for any STD he might have given to her. Crazy, right? Read it for yourself. Epstein wrote the emails. Gates denies. The FBI & DOJ know the backstory. It’s all so hush hush. Even Daddy Trump tells the girl reporters “Quiet Piggy”.
    https://www.theverge.com/tech/871879/bill-gates-epstein-files-absolutely-absurd

    Tim, I thought of you when I saw what this commenter put under the article:
    “I always thought one of the craziest conspiricies was the crazy Qanon people that believed there was this undergroung network of pedophiles among the elite. Of course I once believed the same about those lobbying for the right to carry a concealed weapon.”
    What’s “Q” whispering in your head about a network of elite pedos?

    We’re all going to need good lawyers (and doctors) soon. Of course, no good attorney worth their salt will work for the crooked political hacks sitting at Trump’s weaponized DOJ desks like Chad Mizelle and his bosses. Many Trump stooges have lost their law licenses and more will do prison time when Trump 2.0 is over.
    https://bsky.app/profile/bradmossesq.bsky.social/post/3mdqlts2lcs26

    Speaking of legal hacks, the current Clerk of Court for Kettering, Ohio, Robert (Rob) Scott III, is a former lawyer for Trump. He’s not doing legal work right now, but got his Trump campaign / elector / patronage ticket punched by Montgomery County Republican Party Chairman Phil Plummer (OH Senate candidate) for his cushy clerk job.

    Don’t look for Rob Scott to replace crooked Mike Foley though because I venture Scott makes more money in Kettering. The day will come when Rob Scott’s dishonor catches up with him for his Jan6 Trump support. Scott will have to choose what side of the law he wants to work on. BTW, what’s going on with Scott’s residential house deed transfer to dad? Getting too much MAGA hate mail? Trying to hide out? Hoping to shelter it from mom’s estate?

  33. Herbert Morris

    Melissa, it’s David’s Site.. he can say what he wants! It’s the STFU part..
    he’s running for congress, first of all. Imagine a congressman saying that to a constituent! It’s quite unbecoming of a potential congressman!
    Second, David has an o for record in running for office of any kind. It’s because he alienates a lot of people. A while back a Facebook group with 250 people in it was created. Every one of those people had a beef with David. David was successful in getting that group deleted but I know about it. The group was called FU David Esrati..
    Third, the disrespect from David after I actually took his side in the Ohio Dems refusing to endorse him.
    David disrespects a lot of people. Now normally that wouldn’t be a problem but he’s running for congress again and as a Trump supporter, David even tops Donald Trump in disrespectful behavior! I actually felt sorry for David because I thought people were treating him unfairly, I was wrong. He could say anything respectful that involves debate, etc but the word STFU coming from David set me off. Rude, **shole are words that come to mind.
    I don’t believe that you Melissa, have disrespected me, it’s about policy. We might disagree and that’s ok.
    Congressmen don’t say STFU to people.. They have to take the high road, even if they disagree with people and in my case, a possible constituent. Imagine if I needed David’s help if he was my congressman.
    I’m not MAGA just because I’m here to argue, I was a democrat, worked on their campaigns and saw first hand, the leftward movement of the party, the uptick in violence, protests and again intolerance for opinions that don’t match others. Democrats betrayed me in every segment, employment, policy and the notion they are tolerant and don’t hate, democrats hate.. worse than any republican or MAGA.
    David’s behavior is the reason I’m MAGA. Trump is far from perfect and he can be an **shole but that’s his personality and in a difference from David, 77 million people don’t care how he behaves, he’s the President, on the other hand David has run for Dayton City Commission several times and Congress several times over the past 20 plus years and never won. It’s his behavior. You don’t say STFU to people you disagree with!

  34. Melissa

    True enough, Herb. David is the owner/administrator of this website. He permits all commenters to be free with their opinions and criticize HIM all we want, but we cannot personally disparage other commenters with name calling and such.

    I find it simply amazing that you spoke of the following:
    1) “David’s behavior is the reason I’m MAGA.”
    2) “77 million people don’t care how he behaves, he’s the President,” (Trump)
    3) “The group was called FU David Esrati.” (Facebook)
    4) “David even tops Donald Trump is disrespectful behavior.”

    As to #1, I don’t presume to know what forms the basis for anyone to be a MAGA Republican, but I question this one. It seems to me you were a long time Democrat until you weren’t hired by the ODP and you took serious offense with the political party on that and other policy matters. I look forward to seeing what David has to say, if anything, on him being the genesis of your political 180.

    As to #2, I believe that many of those 77M Trump voters in 11/2024 probably like how Trump behaves, but I have to question whether that is wise for our nation. 75M Biden/Harris voters did not, and perhaps more from Independent and other voters.

    As to #3, I understand the Facebook account you speak of was run by Donald Joseph Donovan, the library security guard who had a bad end himself from his actions and activities. David can correct me on my limited knowledge of it. David had written about and supplemented his piece with public records in a previous post, linked here. David proved his case and won settlement funds from the security co/ public library. Like you, Mr. Donovan may also be a constituent of David’s, IF he wins. In America, people can run for something and do. You should run for office if you desire, Herb.
    https://esrati.com/esrati-sues-dayton-metro-library-over-public-records/16145

    As to #4, I have to respectfully disagree with you here, Herb. In my opinion, Trump is far and away the leader in disrespectful, amoral, law breaking, boorish, vulgar, crude, crass, low, uninformed, theatrical, rude, manipulative, sexist, racist, ignorant, embarrassing, serial liar men I have ever seen. I am thoroughly ashamed to know of him and have him represent our great nation. Donald Trump has sullied everything he has touched. Entire books and films have been made about him. He published many literary lies himself.

    David Esrati has his detractors and detractions sometimes, but there is simply no comparison to the complete spectacle known as Donald John Trump.

    As to Trump’s vulgarity, it knows no bounds and its very public and open and notorious use of it in the Presidency is new.

    @Herb- Try to get Turner to respond to you. Good luck.
    I provide a forum here- and you can call me any name in the book.
    But, I don’t have to like or agree with you. When you call a VA Nurse a criminal- yes- I say STFU.
    You are blocked on my cell phone after I tried to help your homeless ass back in 2016 and you went nuts.
    You are a prime example of why we need national health care- and long term housing options for the mentally ill.
    I’m glad you are doing better now- but, as someone who has known you for at least 20 years- your struggles are self-inflicted.
    Good luck.

  36. Melissa

    I would like to be proud of America’s president, but I cannot at this time. Perhaps, Trump can improve. I hope for that, but he has lived his life as he is now, so I doubt it.

    Some people are made of plastic
    Some people are made of wood
    Some people have hearts of stone
    Some people are up to no good
    Some people are made of lies
    To bring you down and shame your name
    What you see is what you get

    Herb, I would bet that David Esrati would answer your call, email, or see you in person as your constituent. That’s a far cry different that the current Republican Mike Turner who is a ghost to his.

    He’s for real
    He has good intentions
    Breaking hearts just ain’t his game
    He’s as real as he can get
    If what you’re looking for is real
    Then, what you see is what you get.

    David,
    I never called Pretti a criminal. He interfered with law enforcement..Would you David, interfere with law enforcement like kicking in a law enforcement vehicle and spitting in the direction of ICE?
    I don’t know Congressman Turner but we’ve had a history going back 3 decades to working with the Dayton Wings together.
    Congressman Turner would never say STFU to a constituent.
    I doubt, if you were my congressman, that you would respond either or respond respectfully. Saying that here.. to STFU is completely unprofessional and unbecoming of a potential congressman.
    You’ve been this way for decades and I probably have more money than you now! I inherited a sizeable sum in 2022 when my mother passed away. I own my own home outright(no mortgage) worth 260K and have 180K in the bank!
    You didn’t help me then and if I needed your help as a constituent you wouldn’t help me now. I’m screenshotting these comments and will be out wherever you campaign this spring.. and if you happen to win the primary.. this fall.. I’ll be online..too. Reminding voters who you really are.
    it was an unfortunate time a decade ago. I got myself out of it.
    What about that lady who stole from you? What about 250 people in the anti Esrati Facebook group?
    The Ohio Democratic Party didn’t endorse you due to your behavior.
    You’ve got a lot of baggage David! I’m not running for office, you are and I’m going to expose you out in Ohio 10 for the nasty SOB you really are.
    Do you even give a Shi*?
    You need a complete house sterilization! That’s what you said about the Ohio Dems in 2022. That now applies to you!
    Good luck getting anything from the Ohio Dems in your run for Congress! I’ll remind them! I think you raised about 20K in 2022. That’s not even enough to hire a staff..
    David, a congressman, what a joke!! Turner will win by 10 points minimum! And that’s only because of anti Trump. In 2022, you lost 62-38! The best you can do is 45-55..
    I’ll be talking to your primary opponents and telling them about you!
    Hopefully you don’t win the primary!
    I may even contact Turner about you if you win the primary. Nasty SOB! You’ll never change! I’m a voter, David! You’ll never get my vote, ever! You alienate everyone who disagrees with you..that’s your weakness! You have no control.

    Melissa,
    David blocked me from social media and his phone.. Do you really think he’d respond professionally to any requests I had as his constituent? The answer is no.
    David is not congress material.. The Ohio Dems didn’t endorse him because of his behavior in 2022. I was on David’s side for the past several years but David has no self control in insulting his possible voters.
    Say what you want about President Trump, his policies, demeanor, etc. Trump got 77 million votes, is a 2 term president. David, on the other hand, has never won a race in 20 plus years.. you have to ask why? Start with behavior. Politics 101- don’t insult your potential voters..
    I voted for Turner as a registered Democrat in 2022, that’s all you need to know about David Esrati. The insulter congressman! The guy can’t resist insulting voters! There is 250 definite no votes for Esrati from a Facebook group that has been deleted and I was in it.. I actually felt sorry for David! What was I thinking!

    So Herb, if you spit in my direction, it’s OK for me to shoot you in the back 10 times at close range?
    Please go work for Turner. See how long before he fires you too.
    If the Dems actually believed in Primaries, Kamala Harris wouldn’t have been the parties candidate in 2024. Unfortunately, they haven’t learned their lesson.
    Why don’t you go work as an ICE agent Herb- it seems like the perfect job for you.
    Thanks for playing.
    Next time, try to organize your thoughts more- so you can write a single comment- and on one post- and actually say something worth reading.
    Cheers.

    David, I just emailed you the video of Pretti kicking in an ICE vehicle as it was driving away.. spitting was just a part of it. He actually damaged an ICE vehicle, as it was about to drive away, your hero Pretti had more than one encounter with ICE, he had two..
    I also sent you via email the terms of threatening law enforcement in Chicago to include ramming.. watch both videos.
    A potential congressman David Esrati says it’s ok to spit at officers and kick in ICE vehicles as they are driving away.
    Turner will use that against you in the campaign.
    You can’t be that street dumb! Too dangerous to be an ICE officer because you’re Antifa and you would actually threaten my life! These aren’t peaceful protestors!
    Why don’t you repeat what Pretti did since and yes, Pretti committed a crime. He threatened law enforcement. I dare you David to take up for Pretti and kick in a police car/ICE vehicle/ram a police car. Be street dumb and see where that gets you!

    HERB: “…Pretti committed a crime. He threatened law enforcement.”

    MELISSA: No. I’m going to repeat myself…

    Pretti was not murdered under the set of facts you provided. You’re conflating separate incidents. Try to do some additional research before commenting so you don’t have to be corrected.

    The cover up will not hold. It never does. Truth will out.

    The American voters will continue to battle Trump’s illegality & political wrongdoing.

    Trump lost in 2020. He’s always been, and is still, a loser. Why can’t people get that?

    …that was a lot of words Herbert Morris. Suffice to say you are accurate in your overall assessment. If the Dems don’t say it first, voters will see David Esrati’s name on the ballot and say “not today, Satan”…
