Absolutely the most insane political mailing I have ever seen. (for NYS governor) Summary of brochure in ALT text. The back of the brochure is so text heavy, I had to duplicate the photo 3 times.
I'm so sorry, but there is so much crazy, I have to summarize.

Front of 4 panel brochure mailer for James Kernan running for NYS governor as a write-in candidate.
 
Column 1: Magazine excerpts which are reduced to almost unreadable text, talking about an apprenticeship program from SUNY Maritime College. The excerpts appear to be from 2002. There is also a small picture of Kernan with AOC. That can't be legal.

Column 2: You're not going to believe this one. It's a copy of a signed grant of clemency from Donald Trump. Why Kernan needed clemency is not stated. (And will not be stated anywhere in this brochure.)

Column 3: Instructions and pictograms on how to use the pre-inked stamp (that is not included, despite the text implying otherwise), in order to "write in" James Kernan on the ballot for NYS governor.

Column 4: A picture of James Kernan. Here's the text from this column verbatim:

James Kernan

Key Bank Building, 2nd Floor
Cooperstown, New tork 15520

Announcement of December 9, 2025

Jim Kernan's Platform for Governor of New York State

Workers' Compensation is ideal as a universal platform for jobs to careers for disadvantaged and new hires which addresses job transition needs for a skilled workforce Made in America.

What is the point of this letter? Using a pre-inked stamp attached here on the rear cover, I ask you to Write-In Vote my name for NYS Governor in the November 2026 election. I am a registered Democrat Kennedy era; regardless, your write-in vote for me for Governor in the November 2026 election will champion a clear message that New Yorkers require change, opportunity and demand by us to return our Empire State, or worse days endure.As a society we can restore old fashioned coaching, shadowing, and idea exchange, mentoring/reverse mentoring skilled know-how with youthful creativity. Using compensated mentorship and paid on-the-job training (OJT), I will restore work pride by jobs to careers; enabling all persons to afford chronic needs such as childcare, nutrition and housing, not requiring government subsidies, utilizing Workers' Compensation Insurance as the vehicle. It can even be a pathway to citizenship for immigrants, learn skills while earning OJT building a reliable pipeline of skilled workers, driving the future, benefiting everyone.

It's simple:
1. The mentor gets paid benefits to coach and guide,
2. New workers collaborate with new technology creativity as skills develop OJT, improving both new workers and mentors;
3. Resulting in employers getting new, qualified, skilled employees.
4. Workers' Compensation coverage that every employer is required by law to have, is the platform delivering safety, skills and jobs to careers.

For reasons described below described as the Percy Solution, we all are beneficiaries, all NYS workers and employers and those who seek jobs and careers. [QR Code]

The Percy Solution (www.PercySolution.com) is based on the Percy v. Brennan settlement with the State of New York[1]. Despite the strength and settlement of the Percy case, the case exposes the following truth: the courts alone are ill-equipped to engineer an alternative employment practice (AEP) to transform the workforce to any meaningful extent. To answer the need I present as my platform for Governor an AEP developed over 35 years[2], a tested AEP approach modeled on the US Marine Corps counterinsurgency programs developed for use by the US in South Vietnam 1968 - 1971,to reach the hearts and minds of Vietnamese in restoring and rebuilding infrastructure, while working alongside and training locals[3].

(ALT text continued in next photo)(continued) 
My platform is simple and grounded on final, enforceable federal orders in Percy v Brennan and New York and Federal laws[4] that prohibit neutral policies producing significant disparate impacts, denying disadvantaged groups paid OJT to build skills. The AEP is a non-government solution using Workers' Compensation Insurance that every employer must have, coupled with health and accident coverage, to provide special benefits to skilled workers willing to train our next generation as well learn from developments and advancements in robotics and artificial intelligence technological [sic] in the process. It's a private-sector safety conscious solution using Workers' Compensation required for every business, to deliver skills. By using Workers' Compensation profits generated from safety in skills, each employer establishes individualized mentorship where experienced employees receive a supplemental benefit to reward skilled workers willing to train new employees OJT. Each employer knows best its business skill deficit and need.

My platform is based on the major civil rights victory that demanded better job training for immigrants and the disadvantaged (Percy v.Brennan) targeting barriers to paid training alongside experienced workers, benefiting workers who lack skills to contribute to the workforce. Al Percy, the certified class representative, who immigrated trom Trinidad in 1966, sought OJT, but the settlement never materialized. The Percy Class never received the settlement with New York State that was awarded to Percy to address this disparity.

Structural change requires legislation, executive policy, statewide coordination and litigation. I am not only litigating but I will also seek political solutions as the Governor of this great State of New York.

(continued in next image)(continued) New York State deserves better! An AEP with paid OJT opportunities, with compensation to mentors, will restore pride in accomplishment, allowing all persons to afford chronic needs and advance to prosperity, enforced by political solutions applying the landmark disparate-impact laws, benefiting us all.

The President of the United States has recognized the reckoning, accounting and responsibility we have taken to restore faith in our system of laws by pursuing the Percy Solution[5], not just legal compliance but validating that "the greatest wealth results from the greatest economic liberty, freedom of all individuals to work, save, buy, and earn at their pleasure, and economic life would settle into a natural order and productivity would thrive."[6]

The point of this letter is to ask for your write-in vote for me. Attached here on the rear cover is a pre-inked stamp and instructions to write-in vote my name in the November 2026 Election for Governor of New York State.

I welcome the opportunity to talk with you, please call me at: ((phone number)), or email to ((email address)), address ((mailing address))

Sincerely,
((signature))
James Kernan

In the politics of the United States, a government trifecta is a political situation in which the same political party controls the presidency and both chambers of Congress. The term is primarily used in the United States, where it originated, and is borrowed from horse race betting.

we would suffer higher casualties.'"

The image that follows is from Fox News "The Story with Martha MacCallum." It shows Marco Rubio at a lectern with several microphones. Behind and to the left of him is a man who is looking up. The man appears to be looking up at a graphic that says "LIVE," but the graphic is from the Fox broadcast, not actually floating where ever this is taking place.

Is this AI slop? Is San Jose known for its comically large, um, sourdough, I guess?
An ad for San Jose, California, with a photo of 3 people sitting around a table in a coffee shop. One of them, a man with a backwards baseball cap that has a very odd brim, eats a baked bread item that is about twice the size of his head. The bread has interconnected circles on the crust, for some reason—they're not pretty, just chaotic. He is eating the bread over a giant tea cup. I mean it's big, about the size of the huge honkin' bread that the guy is trying to eat. The other two people are smiling.

There is text on the ad that says "Building the future never stops. Just like next level experiences." Wow, that's some ad-copy right there. Then there is a call-to-action button to click that says "Shape Tomorrow >" 

Overall, from photo to ad-copy, this thing looks like a parody of an AI-created ad. But it's a real ad for San Jose.

Both Trump and Stephen Miller, the chief architect of the administration's immigration policies, might have imagined that their crackdown would isolate a relatively small group of people and be met with indifference by most Americans, giving Trump and Miller free rein to do as they pleased. In actuality, there is no way to execute an immigration crackdown in a way that spares ordinary citizens - that shields their families and keeps their communities intact. And so with each ICE arrest comes a new story: an immigrant parent torn from his citizen child, an undocumented business owner whose arrest threatens the livelihoods of his employees, lawmakers detained for the apparent offense of asking questions of ICE agents.

Here you go
I N MAY 1995, Pat Buchanan appeared at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., to announce an immigration policy that would become the centerpiece of his presidential campaign. "We have an illegal invasion of this country," Buchanan warned. To resist it, he called for a "Buchanan Fence" patrolled by the military along the southern border, a five-year moratorium on legal immigration, and a constitutional amendment that would deny citizenship to children born in the U.S. to undocumented parents.


The platform was designed to stave off something Buchanan had long dreaded: "If present trends hold," he noted a few years earlier, "white Americans will be a minority by 2050." Buchanan was the first major politician to transform white anxiety about that prospect-which the Census Bureau first predicted in 1990—into an organizing principle for the conservative movement. (Never mind that the idea of a majority-minority tipping point is contested by social scientists, who argue that ever-changing norms about racial self-identification are blurring the numbers.) "The question we Americans need to address, before it is answered for all of us, is: Does this First World nation wish to become a Third World country?" he wrote in 1990.

The specific "reciprocal" tariff rate was half of the current trade imbalance because "the president is lenient and he wants to be kind to the world," a Trump aide told reporters. 

"The numbers [for tariffs by country] have been calculated by the Council of Economic Advisers ... based on the concept that the trade deficit that we have with any given country is the sum of all trade practices, the sum of all cheating," a White House official said, calling it "the most fair thing in the world."
