The Political Career of George Gascon Continues. Recall attempt fails miserably 15 Aug 2022 11:29 PM (2 years ago)


By Randy Economy

 It wasn't even close.  

The Recall effort against Los Angeles County District Attorney has failed.  Like, really failed. So what happened.  I know what happened.  We all know what happened.  I won't get into the dirt at this moment, there will be plenty of time for that.  In the meantime, here is the OFFICIAL STATEMENT from The Dean of Democracy, Mr. Dean Logan, the Registrar Recorder for the County of LA LA Land...

Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk Completes Petition Verification for District Attorney Recall 

Attempt Petition found insufficient to qualify the recall for the ballot 


LOS ANGELES – Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk (RR/CC) Dean C. Logan announced the RR/CC has completed the examination and verification of all 715,833 petition signatures submitted for the recall of Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascon. 

Based on the examination and verification, which was conducted in compliance with the statutory and regulatory requirements of the California Government Code, Elections Code, and Code of Regulations, 

520,050 signatures were found to be valid and 195,783 were found to be invalid. 

To qualify the recall for the ballot, the petition required 566,857 valid signatures; therefore, the petition has failed to meet the sufficiency requirements and no further action shall be taken on the petition. A summary breakdown of the invalid signatures is as follows: 

Not Registered: 88,464 

• Max Number of Times Signed (Duplicate): 43,593 

• Different Address: 32,187 

• Mismatch Signature: 9,490

 • Canceled: 7,344 

• Out of County Address: 5,374 

• Other: 9,331 

The RR/CC has notified the proponents of these findings. Per California Elections Code § 11301 and Government Code § 6253.5, proponents of the recall petition may examine the petition signatures if desired, provided that such examination must commence no later than 21 days after the certification of insufficiency of the petition. 

The mission of the Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk is to serve Los Angeles County by providing essential records management and election services in a fair, accessible, and transparent manner. For more information, visit LAVOTE.GOV and follow us on Twitter @LACountyRRCC.

My Ballot Statement....making my case in 220 words... 2 Mar 2022 7:39 PM (3 years ago)

 


One of the greatest tools in this campaign is for a candidate to pay for a statement in California's Voter Guide.  I got mine in last month.  Had it hand walked into the Secretary of States Office by my amazing Campaign Treasurer Tom Montgomery.

So...my statement will appear in almost 6 million OFFICIAL CALIFORNIA VOTER GUIDES.  Look in you mail around May 1st.  So, here's my pitch to voters...to the People.  I love Democracy here in California, all 220 words.

BTW,  Cost is not cheap.   As a matter of fact, the Secretary of State charges $25 per WORD,  Yup,  Cost me around $6 grand.  Here you go...

Name: Randy Economy 

Occupation: Small Businessowner

Age: 62 (optional)

 I have been fighting to make California better my entire life. As an investigative journalist I helped expose the biggest corruption scandal in Los Angeles County history, leading to the criminal indictments of four members of the  Assessor office and saved taxpayers millions of dollars.

I stood up to California Governor Gavin Newsom when I served as the Senior Advisor and Official Spokesman for the recent recall campaign. I conducted more than 2,500 media interviews exposing his draconian policies while he dined maskless at one of the most expensive restaurants on the planet.

As your representative on the Board of Equalization I will continue to put California first. With hyperinflation and spiking crime rates making California the  California dream almost impossible to achieve, taxpayers deserve and need someone to fight for them.

It stops now.

I will support everyday Californians, stand up for our small business,  champion our law enforcement and will ensure that taxpayers always get a fair hearing.

I care deeply about our state because I was born here and have lived here my entire life.  I am also the grandson of an amazing proud Greek immigrant who came to America “Live the American Dream.” I will not let that dream die with our generation.

My life has been a great training ground up to this point, and now I am ready to make California’s government more accountable to the people.

Join me, and YES, this campaign really is about the ECONOMY!

Fr. Adrian M. San Juan, of Saint Linus Catholic Church in Norwalk has passed at age 44 19 Sep 2020 8:57 PM (4 years ago)

 It is sad to have learned about the passing of Catholic Priest Rev. Fr. Adrian M. San Juan today at the young age of 44. I have posted a beautiful homily he conducted at a Diving Mercy Healing Mass back on December 11, 2016.


Fr. Adrian was the Administrator of my previous home Parish of Saint Linus Catholic Church in Norwalk, California.  He died suddenly on Saturday afternoon.  St. Linus is an amazing church, and Fr. Adrian will be deeply missed by so many near and far.

Since so many of us have been prevented from attending Mass in 2020 because of Covid, I have watch Fr. Adrian conduct mass on Facebook Live and he was always full of Hope, Kindness, Compassion and Love.  This is so sad.  He had the singing voice of an Angel.  What a beautiful Spirit.

Let us pray for the eternal repose of the soul of Fr.Adrian San Juan.
Eternal rest, grant unto him, O Lord, and let your perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. Amen.

Los Angeles Press Club 'strongly condemns' arrest of Journalist Josie Huang by LASD officials in Lynwood 13 Sep 2020 10:15 PM (4 years ago)

 


The Los Angeles Press Club has issued the following statement regarding the arrest of journalist KPCC/LAist reporter Josie Huang on Saturday night in Compton after two deputies were shot in an ambush style attack earlier in the evening.

I have been a proud member of the LA Press Club for the past decade and journalists have rights in covering news events as they unfold.  We have watched "fake" journalists live streaming for months in Portland and Seattle, and while you have a camera and a live stream, it doesn't make you a journalist.  So with that being said...here in the statement from the LA PRESS CLUB that was sent out late Sunday night.


"On Saturday night, Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department deputies attacked an innocent person and the Constitution of the United States.

Video recordings leave no room for doubt about the misconduct by the LASD personnel against KPCC/LAist reporter Josie Huang, who was doing her job and documenting protests and arrests in Lynwood, CA.

It’s also deeply concerning how deputies treated evidence during the incident. Video shows them abusing the recording device being used by Huang, which they later left unprotected on the public street. At best, this appears to be extreme negligence in their handling of evidence. At worst, they may have been attempting to destroy evidence and suppress journalistic recordings.

The Los Angeles Press Club strongly condemns these actions and demands that LASD and the deputies involved provide a public apology to the victim. We also demand that LASD ensure that all charges against Huang are dropped. We join AAJA-LA, SPJ/LA, and the Los Angeles journalism community in this stance.

We are also asking LASD to provide assurances about tangible steps the Department will take to prevent anything like this from happening again. That includes an assurance that they will not put out misleading statements as happened in the hours following the incident. We also invite LASD to have a dialogue around the process they use to identify journalists, including what credentialing means in a Constitutionally protected profession. We want to support a healthy, constructive relationship. Both law enforcement and journalists should be held to a high standard, and both should welcome earnest questions and dissent about their roles.

That role of law enforcement is critical in a civilized society. The public expects them to maintain safety, protect people, enforce laws, provide reliable information, and de-escalate dangerous situations. It’s clear that the deputies involved failed all of these basic standards during the incident at St. Francis Medical Center around 11 p.m. on September 12, 2020.

Videos and photos from that night show that officers aggressively arrested Huang while she was recording the arrest of a protester. This alone was a violation of her First Amendment rights as provided by the U.S. Constitution. At no time did she interfere with the arrest. At no time did she take any action that any reasonable person could construe as a threat to the deputies. When deputies approached her, she clearly identified herself as a member of the press, and clearly identified that she was working for a prominent newsgathering operation that is a pillar of the Los Angeles community.

At least five deputies were recorded handcuffing Huang and causing her physical injury, and recordings capture her screaming in pain. This is the second time LASD has been involved in causing physical harm to a reporter from the same outlet who was simply doing their job in a responsible, legal and Constitutionally protected manner.

It is especially tragic that this occurred in the wake of a horrifying attack against LASD deputies just hours earlier. Our hearts go out to the two deputies who were shot while in their car as they did their job and we join the prayers for their recovery. We condemn the actions against these deputies. Violent attacks of all forms are wrong, inexcusable, and have no place in our world

7 people dead at suspected illicit marijuana operation in the remote Riverside County area of Aguanga 9 Sep 2020 12:36 AM (4 years ago)

 By Randy Economy

...something happened this past week here in Riverside County that really caught my eye and as far as I can tell, not much media has been brought to this case.

Seven people are dead...brutally killed in what law enforcement officials believe is a illegal drug operation gone bad...like really off the rails bad.  

Since the massive fires are burning all over the region and state, not much attention has been paid to this case.  The media is already spread thin in their reporting these days.  

As an investigative journalist who has covered these type of crimes in the past, this particular case is off the charts in so many ways. 

No suspect(s) is/are in custody.  Was this a cartel type operation gone bad?  Any video cameras on site?  Who were the people shot and killed?  Where did they live? Why did this drug operation go unnoticed by local officials? 

Below are the details from the Riverside County Sheriff's Department. Sheriff Chad Bianco and his top brass held a presser about the case.  Stay tuned. I am going to follow this...



On Monday, September 7, 2020, at 12:33 AM, deputies responded to a residence in the 45000 block of Highway 371 in the unincorporated area of Aguanga, for a report of an Assault with a Deadly Weapon. Once deputies arrived to begin their investigation, they located a female adult suffering from gunshot wounds. Paramedics immediately transported the female to a local hospital for medical treatment. Deputies found six additional victims suffering from gunshot wounds. All six victims at the location died as a result of their injuries. Despite life-saving efforts by medical personnel, the female who was transported also died from her injuries. In total, seven victims died as a result of this incident.

Investigators from the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department Central Homicide Unit and Hemet Station responded and assumed the investigation. Evidence located at the scene indicated the location was being used to manufacture and harvest an illicit marijuana operation. There was over one-thousand pounds of marijuana and several hundred marijuana plants located at the scene.

The area was searched for a suspect; however, the suspect(s) remains outstanding. Investigators are currently working on leads, and the investigation is ongoing. This appears to have been an isolated incident, and there is no threat to the general public.

The Riverside County Sheriff’s Department encourages anyone with information regarding the incident to contact Central Homicide Investigator Paz at (951) 955-2777.

Portland Riots: Here are the names of the 15 people arrested on Sunday, Sept. 6 7 Sep 2020 6:44 PM (4 years ago)

 


By Randy Economy

Here we go again.  I am thrilled to publish the names of 15 additional people who have been arrested in Portland, Oregon on Day 102 of rioting in the once beautiful Rose City.

According to the Portland PD, the alleged thugs started a large fire in the street outside of North Precinct, prompting some arrests during a protest Sunday night into Monday morning.  It didn't go well after that...

The PPD said in a statement that "On Sunday, September 6, 2020 at about 9 pm, a march began from Alberta Park at 2001 Northeast Killingsworth Street. The march proceeded to Northeast Martin Luther King Junior Boulevard at Northeast Emerson Street, the location of the North Precinct Community Policing Center."

In case you have been living under a rock that has not been hurled at law enforcement officials, the North Precinct has been the site of numerous violent protests over the past few months, including instances where arsonists attempted to burn down the building with people inside. 

Remember, this place is an active, working community policing facility, and city officials said it is "a critical part of city infrastructure, and operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week."

The facility is also connected to multiple private businesses, and is in a densely populated neighborhood. 

The following 15 people were arrested and booked into the Multnomah County Detention Center.  Remember...those arrested are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law:

AND...DON'T FORGET TO SAY THEIR NAMES of these arrestees.

Cole Cunningham, 38, of Portland -- Interfering with a Peace Officer, Disorderly Conduct in the Second Degree, Resisting Arrest

Adam Layee, 36, unknown residence -- Reckless Burning, Possession of a Destructive Device

Camillo Masagli, 26, of Portland -- Reckless Burning

Stacey Kirshbaum, 54, of San Francisco, California -- Interfering with a Peace Officer

Gerald Kohler, 19, of Oregon City, Oregon - Interfering with a Peace Officer, Disorderly Conduct in the Second Degree

Brennan Schill, 23, of Mesa, Arizona - Interfering with a Peace Officer, Disorderly Conduct in the Second Degree

Sean Lopez, 25, of Portland - Interfering with a Peace Officer, Disorderly Conduct in the Second Degree

Rachel Raffaelli-Wong, 29, of Sacramento, California - Interfering with a Peace Officer, Disorderly Conduct in the Second Degree

Daniel Glenn, 36, of Portland - Interfering with a Peace Officer, Disorderly Conduct in the Second Degree

Remember kids, if you keep getting arrested, I will keep publishing your names.  Good luck getting a job down the road...you have been made famous on my blog!  lol

Here is more information regarding the night of violence...

Shortly after arriving, the crowd began chanting, among other things, "burn it down." Some dragged a mattress into the street, Northeast Martin Luther King Junior Boulevard at Northeast Emerson Street, and lit it on fire. Because it was not an immediate threat to life safety or structures, officers remained far back and did not engage. Another mattress was added to the fire, as was some yard debris. The larger fire began to send lit embers into the air. Multnomah County has a burn ban in effect due to extremely dry conditions. Portland Fire and Rescue expressed concern about the danger the fire posed to the community. Portland Police notified the gathering that firefighters would be moving in to extinguish the fire. When police moved forward to secure the area, the majority of the crowd moved back. However, one arrest was made. Portland Fire and Rescue put out the mattress fire and then officers disengaged.

After about an hour, the majority of the gathering moved around to the North side of the precinct, blocking traffic on Northeast Killingsworth Street. For the security of the facility, officers prevented the march from proceeding south on Northeast 6th Avenue. The crowd was advised over loudspeaker that Southeast 6th Avenue was closed between Northeast Killingsworth Street and Northeast Roselawn Street. While the crowd blocked the street, drivers in two separate cars trying to proceed were caught by surprise and were stuck in the middle of the crowd. This caused some confrontations, but no known injuries.

After an hour, officers disengaged after multiple times advising the crowd not to follow officers. Several did follow officers into the closure area and arrests were made.

By about 1:00a.m., the majority of the demonstration had meandered away.

Officers discovered one arrestee was in possession of a glass jar filled with flammable liquid. Another had a bottle containing an accelerant and a slugging weapon known as a slung shot. Still another had an electronic control weapon ("stun gun") and a baton. Two arrestees had ballistic vests, including one, marked with the word "press," with rifle plates (photos).

PORTLAND RIOTS: Here's the 59 people who got arrested on Saturday night in Portland 7 Sep 2020 3:30 PM (4 years ago)




By Randy Economy

Like millions of other Americans, I have laid in my bed and watched Portland turn into a warzone controlled by thugs each and every night for the past 101 days.   I am sleep challenged in 2020.  We are all sleep challenged for that matter.

Who needs to watch Real Housewives or reruns of Celebrity Rehab when you can watch the shit show in Portland every night from the safety of internet streaming services. I have been watching live streams from Portland on Periscope and Facebook Live.  

Good news...people are actually getting arrested.  

These are not peaceful protesters.  Their not cocktail drinkers they are Molotov cocktail throwers.

These are violent thugs armed with homemade weapons and explosives...above are photos from the Portland PD of the weapons seized last night...a simple bottle of Joy detergent turned into an explosive device containing gasoline. 

Protesters are also dressed up and wearing military flack jackets with the word "Press Member" sprayed on.  Newsflash.  These are not "journalists," they are thugs playing a role.  Just because you have a cell phone and a subscription to a streaming service DOES NOT make you a credentialed member of the media.  It makes you a phony fraud.  I am THRILLED that TWO of these FAKE JOURNALISTS were ACTUALLY ARRESTED this weekend.  About time. 

The following are those who were booked in the Multnomah County Detention Center on Saturday night, early Sunday morning (September 5th and 6th, 2020) Remember...those arrested are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law:

James Castle, 43, of Portland - Disorderly Conduct in the Second Degree, Interfering with a Peace Officer, Riot

Tony Girard, 34, of Tigard, Oregon - Disorderly Conduct in the Second Degree, Interfering with a Peace Officer, Riot

Sara Rider, 30, of Portland - Disorderly Conduct in the Second Degree, Interfering with a Peace Officer, Riot

Sarah Martin, 32, of Portland - Interfering with a Peace Officer

Victor Philips, 34, of Portland - Interfering with a Peace Officer, Riot, Disorderly Conduct in the Second Degree

G. Evelyn Luhman, 27, of Portland - Disorderly Conduct in the Second Degree, Interfering with a Peace Officer, Riot

Henry Loeb, 31, of Portland - Interfering with a Peace Officer, Riot

The Portland PD also released this information as well to the media:

"A large fire was ignited in the street outside of North Precinct, prompting some arrests during a protest Sunday night into Monday morning.

On Sunday, September 6, 2020 at about 9:00p.m., a march began from Alberta Park at 2001 Northeast Killingsworth Street. The march proceeded to Northeast Martin Luther King Junior Boulevard at Northeast Emerson Street, the location of the North Precinct Community Policing Center.

North Precinct has been the site of numerous violent protests over the past few months, including instances where arsonists attempted to burn down the building with people inside. It is an active, working community policing facility, is a critical part of city infrastructure, and operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It is also connected to multiple private businesses, and is in a densely populated neighborhood. For those reasons, as the gathering approached the facility, the marchers were advised by loudspeaker and social media that Northeast Emerson Street was closed between Northeast Martin Luther King Junior Boulevard and Northeast 6th Avenue."

Caesar Peter Abutin: Norwalk Man Charged With Voter Fraud After (allegedly) Voting as his Dead Mother 20 Aug 2020 2:05 PM (4 years ago)

 


From the  "Guys who Vote Pretending to be their Dead Mother File:"

A Norwalk man has been charged with allegedly casting votes in three elections on behalf of his mother who had passed away, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office announced yesterday in a statement to members of the media.

Caesar Peter Abutin was charged in case BA488819 with one felony count each of fraud in connection with votes cast and fraudulent voting. He pleaded not guilty today and is scheduled to return for a preliminary hearing setting on October 28 in Department 50 of the Foltz Criminal Justice Center.

The case was filed for warrant on July 31.

Deputy District Attorney Marian Thompson of the Public Integrity Division is prosecuting the case.

Between October 2012 and November 2014, Abutin is accused of voting in three elections, claiming to be his 67-year-old mother who passed away in July 2006, while also casting votes for himself.

If convicted as charged, the defendant faces up to three years in state prison.

The case was investigated by the District Attorney’s Bureau of Investigation with the assistance of the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk’s Office.

CHARGING DOCUMENTS: Steve Bannon, Leaders Of ‘We Build The Wall’ Online Fundraising Campaign Charged With Defrauding Hundreds Of Thousands Of Donors 20 Aug 2020 9:11 AM (4 years ago)

Brian Kolfage, Stephen Bannon (ABOVE), and Two Others Alleged to Have Funneled Hundreds of Thousands of Dollars From the Organization to Kolfage; All Four Defendants Allegedly Profited From Their Roles in the Scheme 

 Audrey Strauss, the Acting United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, and Philip R. Bartlett, Inspector-in-Charge of the New York Field Office of the United States Postal Inspection Service (“USPIS”), announced the unsealing of an indictment charging BRIAN KOLFAGE, STEPHEN BANNON, ANDREW BADOLATO, and TIMOTHY SHEA for their roles in defrauding hundreds of thousands of donors in connection with an online crowdfunding campaign known as “We Build the Wall” that raised more than $25 million. 

 The defendants were arrested this morning. KOLFAGE will be presented today before U.S. Magistrate Judge Hope T. Cannon in the Northern District of Florida. 

BANNON will be presented today in the Southern District of New York. BADOLATO will be presented today before U.S. Magistrate Judge Thomas Wilson in the Middle District of Florida. SHEA will be presented today before U.S. Magistrate Judge Kristen L. Mix in the District of Colorado. 

 The case is assigned to U.S. District Judge Analisa Torres in the Southern District of New York. Acting U.S. Attorney Audrey Strauss said: “As alleged, the defendants defrauded hundreds of thousands of donors, capitalizing on their interest in funding a border wall to raise millions of dollars, under the false pretense that all of that money would be spent on construction. 

 While repeatedly assuring donors that Brian Kolfage, the founder and public face of We Build the Wall, would not be paid a cent, the defendants secretly schemed to pass hundreds of thousands of dollars to Kolfage, which he used to fund his lavish lifestyle.

 Inspector in-Charge Philip R. Bartlett said: “The defendants allegedly engaged in fraud when they misrepresented the true use of donated funds. As alleged, not only did they lie to donors, they schemed to hide their misappropriation of funds by creating sham invoices and accounts to launder donations and cover up their crimes, showing no regard for the law or the truth.  This case should serve as a warning to other fraudsters that no one is above the law, not even a disabled war veteran or a millionaire political strategist.” 

 According to the Indictment[1] unsealed today in Manhattan federal court: Starting in approximately December 2018, BRIAN KOLFAGE, STEPHEN BANNON, ANDREW BADOLATO, and TIMOTHY SHEA, and others, orchestrated a scheme to defraud hundreds of thousands of donors, including donors in the Southern District of New York, in connection with an online crowdfunding campaign ultimately known as “We Build The Wall” that raised more than $25 million to build a wall along the southern border of the United States. 

 In particular, to induce donors to donate to the campaign, KOLFAGE repeatedly and falsely assured the public that he would “not take a penny in salary or compensation” and that “100% of the funds raised . . . will be used in the execution of our mission and purpose” because, as BANNON publicly stated, “we’re a volunteer organization.” Those representations were false. In truth, KOLFAGE, BANNON, BADOLATO, and SHEA received hundreds of thousands of dollars in donor funds from We Build the Wall, which they each used in a manner inconsistent with the organization’s public representations. 

 In particular, KOLFAGE covertly took for his personal use more than $350,000 in funds that donors had given to We Build the Wall, while BANNON, through a non-profit organization under his control (“Non-Profit-1”), received over $1 million from We Build the Wall, at least some of which BANNON used to cover hundreds of thousands of dollars in BANNON’s personal expenses. To conceal the payments to KOLFAGE from We Build the Wall, 

KOLFAGE, BANNON, BADOLATO, and SHEA devised a scheme to route those payments from We Build the Wall to KOLFAGE indirectly through Non-Profit-1 and a shell company under SHEA’s control, among other avenues. They did so by using fake invoices and sham “vendor” arrangements, among other ways, to ensure, as KOLFAGE noted in a text message to BADOLATO, that his pay arrangement remained “confidential” and kept on a “need to know” basis. * * * 

KOLFAGE, 38, of Miramar Beach, Florida, BANNON, 66, of Washington, D.C., BADOLATO, 56, of Sarasota, Florida, and SHEA, 49, of Castle Rock, Colorado, are each charged with one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering, each of which carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison. The statutory maximum penalties are prescribed by Congress and are provided here for informational purposes only, as any sentencing of the defendants would be determined by the judge. 

 Ms. Strauss praised the outstanding investigative work of the USPIS and the Special Agents of the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York. She also thanked the U.S Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Florida for their assistance. 

 The case is being handled by the Office’s Public Corruption Unit. Assistant United States Attorneys Nicolas Roos, Alison G. Moe, and Robert B. Sobelman are in charge of the prosecution. The charges contained in the Indictment are merely accusations. The defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.

This is an INSANE fire that took place today at the Abbco Tower in the city of Shariah. This footage is from the BBC. I always fear high rise fires, and this one is catastrophic.

#Sharjah Civil Defence firefighters are close to overpowering the blaze. But the tower seems badly damaged by the #fire https://t.co/8f4ND1H1z8 pic.twitter.com/EG07xsatoz

It took several drones, at least a dozen fire trucks, and scores of firefighters but authorities finally put out a massive #fire that ravaged the 40-floor Abbco Tower in #AlNahda #Sharjah. Cooling ops underway

Congressional candidate Eric Early debuts new national cable rdio show taking direct aim at his opponent Rep. Adam "Shifty" Schiff 18 Apr 2020 6:56 PM (5 years ago)

Eric Early and Randy Economy right after his new national cable radio network.
US Congressional Candidate Eric Early debuted his new national cable satellite radio show on Saturday in Los Angeles. The one hour fast paced program is produced by Cable Radio Network (CRN) and is being called "Eric Early: From the Belly of the Beast."

Early is a finished second in a pack June Primary and earned the right to take on the controversial entrenched incumbent Schiff in the November General Election in California's 28th Congressional District.

In the weeks to follow, Early will continue to expose Schiff as well as other "swamp monsters" who have consumed Beltway politics in our national capital for the past two decades.

So...take a listen.

BTW....I am thrilled to be riding shotgun on this show and everyone needs to get engaged in THIS MOVEMENT to CHANGE CONGRESS and to FINALLY PUT ADAM SCHIFF into rertirment.

SUNDAY UPDATE: 332 New Cases of Confirmed COVID-19 in Los Angeles County; 5 New Deaths Reported, 2136 Cases Total 29 Mar 2020 7:20 PM (5 years ago)

LOS ANGELES –  On Sunday afternoon, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health (Public Health) has confirmed five new deaths and 332 new cases of 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19).

 Five of the six deaths reported yesterday occurred in people over the age of 60, and one death was reported for an individual between 50 – 60 years old. Two of these individuals, including the person between 50-60 years old, did not have any reported underlying health conditions.

Additional information regarding some of the new cases is pending further investigation. Over the last 48 hours, there have been 676 new cases. To date, Public Health has identified 2136 cases across all areas of LA County, including 37 deaths.

Upon further investigation, one case reported earlier was not a LA County resident.

As of Sunday, oday, 453 people positive for COVID-19 (21% of positive cases) have been hospitalized. Current Health Officer Orders prohibit any public or private gatherings or events and temporarily close all beaches and hiking trails throughout the entire County.

Only essential business remain open, and individuals are asked to stay home except to obtain essential goods or services. Health Officer Orders will continue through April 19.

 “Our hearts and prayers go out to all the families and friends of individuals who have died. I ask that everyone please do your part to not infect others or become infected yourself by adhering to the public health directives and practicing social distancing,” said Barbara Ferrer, PhD, MPH, MEd, Los Angeles County Public Health Director.

“More than ever, it is crucial that we practice social distancing, and if we are sick, even with mild illness, make every effort to self-isolate from others for at least 7 days and 3 more days after being symptom free. Everyone should make plans for how you will manage in case you need to self-isolate or self-quarantine. Those who have been in close contact with a person who is positive for COVID-19 should self-quarantine for 14 days. If we all commit ourselves to stay home, stay away from others when sick, and stay 6 feet apart when out, we will save lives. "

Public Health has issued the following guidance for people with mild illness during this time of increased spread: If you are mildly sick, stay home for at least seven days and until 72 hours after being fever and symptom free.

Call your doctor if you are concerned and/or your symptoms worsen. Individuals who are elderly, have underlying health conditions or pregnant should consider contacting their providers earlier when they are sick. Additional things you can do to protect yourself, your family and your community are on the Public Health website, www.publichealth.lacounty.gov. Please see the locations were cases have occurred:

Brentwood (23 cases), West Hollywood (19 cases) lead Los Angeles County in confirmed cases of Covid-19 Coronavirus 22 Mar 2020 3:33 PM (5 years ago)

By Randy Economy
LOS ANGELES – The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health (Public Health) has confirmed one new death and 71 new cases of 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19). 

The individual who died was older than 65 with underlying health conditions and resided in Culver City. Because there are positive cases across the entire County, the public should not think one location is safer than the other, a spokesperson with the County of LA said in a statement on Sunday afternoon.

The county also confirmed that the upscale community of Brentwood has already registered 23 confirmed cases of the virus with West Hollywood the next higest with 19 cases, and growing.th

Beverly Hills has 9 cases confirmed in the 90210 and my hometown of Cerritos now has two confirmed cases.

Additional information regarding some of the new cases are pending completion of investigations. Over the last 48 hours there have been 132 new cases. To date, Public Health has identified 409 cases across all areas in LA County including five deaths.

Upon completion of investigations, 12 cases reported earlier were not LA County residents. As of today, 84 positive cases have been hospitalized. Public Health is investigating all new cases and will notify close contacts who are household members, intimate partners and healthcare professionals to assess and monitor them for signs and symptoms of illness.

All confirmed cases are being isolated and close contacts are quarantined. It is critically important that everyone adheres to all the social distancing measures and practice good public health hygiene, including washing hands as frequently as possible.

“We are deeply sorry for the passing of loved ones and send our prayers to the families and friends of those who have died from COVID-19," said Barbara Ferrer, PhD, MPH, MEd, Los Angeles County Public Health Director.

“It is critical that everyone practices social distancing, obey the Safer at Home Health Officer Order and assume that anyone can have COVID-19, and anyone could unintentionally infect others. Please know that the actions you take today to stay 6 feet away from others and limit all non-essential activities outside your home are the best way for us to slow the spread of COVID-19 and save lives.”

The cities/communities that have the highest totals are Brentwood at 23 and West Hollywood at 19.

UPDATED! EX-LA CITY COUNCILMAN MITCHELL ENGLANDER BUSTED BY FBI 9 Mar 2020 10:11 AM (5 years ago)

Mitch Englander faces 50 years in jail.  Let that sink in.


READ THE INDICTMENT HERE!

FROM THE US ATTORNEY"S OFFICE:
LOS ANGELES – A former Los Angeles city councilman surrendered to FBI agents this morning to face criminal charges that he obstructed an investigation into him accepting cash, female escort services, hotel rooms and expensive meals from a businessman during trips to Las Vegas and Palm Springs, and later lied to the FBI about his conduct.
         Mitchell Englander, 49, of Santa Monica, was taken into custody after being named in a seven-count indictment returned by a federal grand jury on January 16. Englander is expected to be arraigned this afternoon at 2:00 in the Roybal Federal Building and Courthouse.
         The indictment charges Englander with one count of participating in a scheme to falsify material facts, three counts of making false statements, and three counts of witness tampering.
         Englander represented Los Angeles Council District 12 in the San Fernando Valley from July 2011 until he abruptly resigned on December 31, 2018, when he had almost two years left on his term. Among his other duties, Englander served as the Council President Pro-Tempore and was on the Planning and Land Use Management (PLUM) Committee, which oversees many of the most significant commercial and residential development projects in the City of Los Angeles.
         The indictment alleges that he schemed to cover up his acceptance of cash payments, expensive meals and escort services from a businessman – identified in the indictment as Businessperson A – who operated companies in Los Angeles relating to major development projects and sought to increase his business opportunities in the city. Two months after the Las Vegas trip, Businessperson A began cooperating with the FBI in a public corruption investigation focused on suspected “pay-to-play” schemes involving Los Angeles public officials.
         According to the indictment, from August 2017 through December 2018, Englander knowingly and willfully falsified and concealed material facts pertaining to this federal public corruption investigation. Specifically, Englander covered up facts that he had accepted items of value during June 2017 trips to Las Vegas and Palm Springs, the indictment alleges.
         On that trip, when he was accompanied by two city staffers, a lobbyist and a real estate developer, Englander accepted from Businessperson A an envelope with $10,000 in cash, services from a female escort, hotel rooms, $1,000 in casino gambling chips, $34,000 in bottle service at a nightclub, and a $2,481 dinner at a restaurant, according to the indictment. Later, at a golf tournament in Palm Springs on June 12, 2017, Businessperson A allegedly gave Englander an envelope containing $5,000 in cash. Shortly after the trips, Englander arranged for Businessperson A to pitch his business to a friend of Englander’s who was a developer.
         In August 2017, after he learned about the FBI’s public corruption investigation, Englander privately sent an encrypted message to Businessperson A via the online messaging service Confide, indicating that he now wanted to reimburse him for portions of the June 2017 Las Vegas trip, the indictment alleges.
         The indictment alleges that, on at least three occasions, Englander attempted to corruptly persuade Businessperson A to provide false and misleading information, and omit relevant information from the FBI and federal prosecutors conducting the public corruption investigation. On February 6, 2018, Englander allegedly instructed Businessperson A to lie to the FBI, withhold material information from the FBI, and how to answer certain questions from the FBI, including questions about escort services provided by Businessperson A and Englander’s purported attempts to reimburse Businessperson A. On February 12, 2018, Englander allegedly met Businessperson A in Englander’s car and, after Englander turned up the car stereo music to a loud volume to obstruct possible listening devices, Englander again repeatedly instructed Businessperson A to lie to the FBI while driving in a circle around the block to conceal their meeting.
         The indictment further alleges that Englander made false statements to the FBI and federal prosecutors on three separate occasions in 2017 and 2018. For example, on February 7, 2018, Englander falsely stated that he and Businessperson A had not discussed the FBI or its investigation, and that he did not instruct anyone on what to say to the FBI. On December 31, 2018, the day he resigned from the Los Angeles City Council, Englander again met with the FBI and federal prosecutors, and made additional false statements about receiving personal benefits from Businessperson A, and also falsely stated that he encouraged Businessperson A to “be transparent, and share everything” with the FBI, the indictment alleges.
         If convicted of the seven charges in the indictment, Englander would face a statutory maximum penalty of 50 years in federal prison.
         An indictment contains allegations that a defendant has committed a crime. Every defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
         The case against Englander is part of an ongoing public corruption investigation being conducted by the FBI and the U.S. Attorney’s Office. Any member of the public who has information related to this or any other public corruption matter in the City of Los Angeles is encouraged to send information to the FBI’s email tip line at pctips-losangeles@fbi.gov or to contact their local FBI Field Office. In Los Angeles, the FBI can be reached 24 hours a day at (310) 477-6565.
         This case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Mack E. Jenkins, Chief of the Public Corruption and Civil Rights Section, and Assistant United States Attorneys Veronica Dragalin and Melissa E. Mills of the Public Corruption and Civil Rights Section.

Democratic Socialist Bernie Sanders has hijacked the DNC 15 Feb 2020 11:24 PM (5 years ago)

My take...
Socialist Bernie Sanders jumped on a plane owned and operated by the Democratic National Committee and hijacked it midair.
Funny how easy it was for him to get away with his trip to the nomination.
Democrats, you have been Punked.
Enjoy the rest of the flight, lots of turbulence predicted before landing in Milwaukee for the DNC...
I mean..the Democratic Socialist National Convention.

In memory of Rosa Porto
I am saddened to hear about the passing of Rosa Porto the Matriarch of the Porto Bakery based in Southern California has passed away at the age of 89. Her story was am All American Dream. This is from their website....

 "Porto’s Bakery was born out of Rosa’s love for sharing her wonderful cakes and pastries with friends and family. Today the Porto family is still committed to using the finest ingredients from all over the world ensuring that quality remains the cornerstone of the Porto tradition. Rosa Porto is now retired, but her recipes and her high standard remain, including her motto “quality is the number one ingredient in everything we do”.

 This is the family announcement about the passing of Rosa....

@portosbakery
Verified

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of ‪‪Porto’s Bakery‬‬ founder and Porto family matriarch, Rosa Porto. She passed peacefully yesterday at the age of 89 surrounded by her loving husband and family.
Rosa was an incredible woman who started Porto’s humbly from her home kitchen selling cakes and pastries to friends and family while simultaneously being an extraordinary wife and mother to her three children. Later, when in her late 60’s, Rosa stepped back from the family business she had started to focus her love and passion on raising her seven grandchildren. There was no greater sense of joy and pride for Rosa than her grandchildren and soon to be great grandchild.
To all of our family, friends, and guests from across our communities: though there are no words that can convey our sadness at this time, we would like to express our sincere gratitude for all the love and kindness you have shown us throughout the years.

Assemblyman Chad Mayes Dumps the California Republican Party for "NO PARTY." Leave GOP without a candidate in the 42nd AD 5 Dec 2019 6:25 PM (5 years ago)

Did you hear the news.

Corrupt California State Assemblyman Chad Mayes has literally told the Republican Party to piss up a rope and tonight he has bolted from the party to join the growing list of voters who do not belong any political party here in California.

Mayes in my Assemblyman.

He is a traitor and cannot be trusted.
He "a pompous self serving politician who has burned every bridge possible in Sacramento ever since he arrived in the lower house for his own self interest.  He betrayed his wife by having an extra-martial affair with another GOP Assemblywoman Kristin Olsen.  How did that work out? ....and worked with Governor Jerry Brown to raise our gas taxes and on and on and on.


Here is what the California Republican Party sent to it's members around an hour ago....

Randell,

"Assemblymember Chad Mayes (AD-42) has left the Republican Party to run as a No Party Preference candidate. Rather than standing and fighting, Chad Mayes has chosen to retreat. This is after he begged the California Republican Party for our endorsement. We guess he's tired of winning. 



The California Republican Board of Directors unanimously rescinded their endorsement of Mays (sic).   Chad Mayes has let the Republican Party down just as he has let down the voters of California."

Someone inside the California Republican Party should have seen this coming.  I don't need to get into every detail on the past voting record of Mayes...however....someone needs to run against this CLOWN and they have exactly 30 hours to file against him....

WATCH KODI LEE LIVE FROM LAS VEGAS! The AGT Winner is Spectacular during his Vegas concert debut 11 Nov 2019 12:04 AM (5 years ago)

Blessed to spend an incredible evening with Mr. Kodi Lee, the winner of Americas Got Talent at the Paris Hotel in Las Vegas.  Joining in the celebration of this evening were my friend Andy Marlett and Ronnie Kroell.  Also joining us back stage after the opening night concert was AGT runner ups Tyler Butler Figueroa, and the Detroit Youth Choir,
It was a moment I will cherish forever.



Last Thursday, I was honored to sit in the third row to watch an American Hero in the making make his stage debut in Las Vegas at the Paris Hotel Theater. Kodi Lee, the blind autistic superstar who literally won America's Got Talent just a month ago, was front and center for his first concert in Sin City, and the audience could not get enough of him and his musical geniusness.  

 Watch for yourselves. See what a Miracle looks like. See the pure talent and love that is deep inside of Kodi Lee. America needs Kodi Lee right now. The world is a dark place and this blind singer is showing us what it means to have vision, love, kindness, and determination. I predict that Kodi Lee will win several Grammy Awards next year, and will become one of the biggest stars in the UNIVERSE.
