"Loss of Enthusiasm" for the Mayor
Privately many of Mayor Villaraigosa's longtime supporters are expressing a "loss of enthusiasm" for the Mayor in light of the recent announcement his wife has filed for divorce and rumors of alleged marital infidelity. Duke Helfand, writing in the LA Times, says that allies of the Mayor are disappointed and angry with him that he "played into a stereotype about macho Latino males and that some of his public comments about his wife, Corina, have appeared disingenuous."Click read more to see the rest.
But it gets worse for the Mayor. Columnist Mona Gable is calling on Presidential candidate, New York Senator Hillary Clinton to "dump Antonio" as one of her national campaign chairs. Gable says:
He's not all that great a mayor. He couldn't get his school reform bill through giving him power over LAUSD, even though he had several buddies in Sacramento carrying his water. The notorious May Day melee where the LAPD was caught beating up immigrants occurred on his watch. He acted like LA had the Olympics in the bag--then when it didn't come through, pouted like a two-year-old.Many of our readers have questioned where the Los Angeles Times has been in taking a critical view of the Mayor's divorce announcement. However, it now appears with the Helfand article and a column by Steve Lopez, the paper could be abandoning it's "cheerleader" role it assumed in the past.
Hillary is under the illusion that she's getting a rising political star--a future governor of California! But she might want to do some old-fashioned reporting. Antonio isn't much liked even among LA's Latino political elite. He burned a lot of bridges in his relentless quest to become mayor.
Even with the tarnish on the Mayor with his marital woes, he can take solace in that - unless he actually does become Hillary's running mate - its at least two to three years before he stands for election somewhere.
But it's not all bad news for the Mayor - he did get a medal from UCLA Friday.

The mayor continues to have one thing going for him and for which he deserves commendation: Fabian Nunez is still slimier.
Latin Men in CD14
The Male chauvinist of this culture make the men seem to be superior to women and therefore their beliefs are that man has to be the head of the household, go out and work to provide financial support to the family, and as a household he is in charge of making the final decision concerning of things in the house. ..
Many Mexican women continue to experience domestic violence from a very early age, even as the world celebrated the 30th anniversary of International Women's Day on Thursday.
Cecilia, 40, was beaten by her husband for 18 years, twice a week - always when he had had too much to drink and had been in a motel with his secretary. Only after putting up with such behaviour for so long did she find courage in her desperation to report him and get a divorce.
Her ex husband - an influential man - sought revenge and managed to get Cecilia's monthly income reduced to about 460 dollars.
This happens to many women in Mexico, and most of them do not defend themselves because they are financially dependent.
The fact that they earn less than their male colleagues is hardly the most significant factor. Most have less education, they are beaten, raped, exploited and degraded.
The mistreatment of women and the over-blown importance of men starts very early on in Mexico. Many children see their mothers beaten up by their fathers, and replicate the pattern as adults - boys grow up to hit, girls grow up to be hit. That is how psychiatrists explain it in marriage counselling.
Strong and independent women are particularly vulnerable to being beaten by their boyfriends. A study reported Wednesday in the newspaper El Universal said that 31.5 per cent of girls between age 13 and 18 reported abuse, and noted that self-confident teenage girls were especially singled out for physical, sexual and psychological violence.
According to the study, many teenagers hit their 13-year-old girlfriends because they feel inferior, or simply because they feel entitled to use violence.
'Violence against women is the human rights violation which is most widespread in Latin America,' the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) said in its most recent report.
These problems are not new to the public in Mexico, and the fight against them is on the political agenda. Conservative President Felipe Calderon who was inaugurated in December appointed several women to join his government, and four of his 19 ministers are female.
Even the old though debilitated Party of the Institutional Revolution (PRI) - which held power continuously for over 70 years until 2000 - has now chosen as its chairman a strong woman, Beatriz Paredes. And the number of women presidents and defence ministers across Latin America has been rising.
But the financial daily El Financiero reported on Wednesday that only around 400,000 women hold posts of leadership in Mexico, a country with 104 million people. The absolute majority of Mexican women continue to live in the shadow and the service of men.
The slogan 'there is no development without equality between women and men' - omnipresent to mark International Women's Day - falls flat on its face in many sectors of Mexican society.
In Mexico and also in Central America, violence against women knows no barriers of wealth or social status. The machos do not hit their women because they are poor or desperate.
In Mexico City - a metropolis with 20 million people - violence against women is evenly spread across rich and poor neighbourhoods. Women can temporarily seek protection and a lawyer through shelters devoted to the cause.
In its posters, the National Women's Institute calls on battered women to change their lives.
'One day I decided ... not one more blow! And I reported him,' the woman pictured in the poster says.
This has had consequences - the percentage of divorced couples is currently at 10 per cent, compared to 3 per cent in the 1970s. The number of divorces have doubled in the past ten years - there were around 36,000 divorces granted by the courts in 1995 and over 70,000 in 2005.
Along with the male's refusal to contribute to the family income, violence is the main cause cited in petitions for divorce, and most sentences favour women.

Oh no...no wonder Semilla got approved:
from mayor sam comment section (nov 05):
Stern is more disturbed by another kind of lawmakers' trip, bankrolled not by campaign funds but by a nonprofit group, which can legally pick up the tab for any amount or destination.
Assembly Speaker Fabian Núñez, for example, recently returned from a nine-day trip to Sweden and France to study universal preschools.
Núñez, D-Los Angeles, was a guest of the William C. Velasquez Institute, a nonpartisan group devoted to Latino voter empowerment.
Besides Núñez and three Assembly colleagues, the trip included Antonio Gonzalez, president of the institute, and Catherine Atkin, president of Preschool California, a group advocating voluntary preschool for the state's 4-year-olds.
Assemblyman John Laird, a Santa Cruz Democrat who traveled with Núñez, said the European visit provided an opportunity to see the pros, cons and challenges of universal preschool.
Laird said he did not feel lobbied at any point during the nine-day trip.
But Stern said such trips give a nonprofit group exclusive access to key legislators for extended periods of time, without being subject to spending limits.
"They say the best way to lobby legislators is to be on a private jet with them," Stern said. "Even if they want to leave, they can't. ... Like they say in the MasterCard ad: Priceless."
*************
STATE LEGISLATIVE TRAVEL LAW
California requires lawmakers to disclose travel-related expenditures from their campaign accounts. Political contributions are private funds, but state law requires them to be used for a public purpose. Disclosures cover specific periods of time, ranging up to six months. They are available at the secretary of state's office or via the Web at www.ss.ca.gov. Abuse or extravagance can be difficult to identify because disclosure forms do not require politicians to:
* List the legislative, political or governmental purpose served by any trip.
* Identify which cities they visit or tie multiple expenditures to a specific date.
* State the flight destination for payments made to an airline.
* Identify whom a legislator met with or for what purpose when large payments are made to a restaurant, resort or other such venue.

Los Angeles, CA. According to retired L.A. Sheriff Sgt. Richard Valdemar, a 33 year veteran international gang specialist, Mexican drug cartels have infiltrated city councils and political campaigns in many small cities in Los Angeles County and other areas of the South Western United States. Details of this account are revealed in an Internet preview of a Full Disclosure Network™ four part interview series with Valdemar.
Full Disclosure Network™ presents, on the Internet, a FREE nine minute (9) preview from the series of interviews conducted by Emmy Award winning host Leslie Dutton with Sheriff’s Sgt.Richard Valdemar (ret). He describes the impact of the Mexican Mafia gangs, drug cartels and illegal aliens in American cities. Available FREE on the internet, 24/7, on demand, as a public service available at the URL: http://www.fulldisclosure.net/Programs/478.php
Here is a summary of Sgt. Valdemar’s Internet preview:
* Sgt. Valdemar cited the following cities as having been infiltrated by the Mexican drug cartels: Lynwood, Bell Gardens, Hawaiian Gardens, South Gate, Huntington Park., Vernon, Cudahy.
* Drug cartels set up phony businesses to launder drug money, usually used car lots, used tire shops that serve as a “front” for their operations.
* Sgt. Valdemar says it all starts when a small business, like a restaurant, is purchased by someone with drug money from Mexico, who sets up shop and starts inviting the city fathers to come for complimentary or discounted meals.
* Then invitations are extended to local police and other government officials, until the business operator is well established, with powerful friends.
* Drug money is used to send out smear campaign literature to destroy reputations of incumbent city council members and to finance the campaigns of challengers whose goal is to get a majority voting block on the city council.
* Once the drug cartel controls the city council, they fire the city attorney, city manager and start giving out contracts, like the trash collection contract, to their cronies.
The entire four-part interview series with Sgt. Richard Valdemar has been scheduled to run on 43 cable systems. Channels and airtimes can be found on the website at www.fulldisclosure.net
Since 1992 the Full Disclosure Network™ has been billed as “the news behind the news” and is an independent, educational, public affairs cable program hosted by Leslie Dutton. In 2002 the FDN program was presented with a Emmy Award from the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences for the Southern California area for their spublic affairs eries entitled “L.A.’s War Against Terrorism”, featuring LAPD Chief Bernard Parks, L.A. County Sheriff Leroy Baca and other city officials. Previews of the programs are provided on the website as a public service.

This string of comments is largely irrelevant and idiotic. Why don't you stick to MAV-bashing? Oh, and in case some of you hadn't noticed, hizzoner is, and always has been, a U.S. citizen.
nAll reporters have to do is a little homework and really research some of the people that gave to Antonio's mayoral campaign and it will lead them to an unbelievable trail of corruption that leads inside city hall. Remember Antonio saying he wanted to clean up city hall after blasting Hahn.
c'mon, 6:51...
name a few names!
Get the bat computer off on the right foot!
Looks like Trujillo and Uli were up late cutting and pasting. DIStraction!
Nah, it's Zuma Dogg jealous of the Mayor.
the first question is Who was he cheating with for his wife to divorce him?
let's get those names. or name.
I want to know so I can congratulate her for taking him down when we all were trying for months.
the media still chasing rocky too.
how does Paris fit in here? is she the mistress? did Rocky put her in jail to get back at the Mayor?
I remember seeing Baca and Delgadillo on a Ch 35 round table discussion. what's the bet they don't exchange xmas cards this year.
recall Rocky!
What about the war, who is talking about all the young folks that are in harms way??
Myth: Gang killings in Los Angeles County are the result of drug wars.
Fact: Most gang homicides are not random, nor are they only disputes over drugs or some other crime. The vast majority of violent incidents involving gang members continue to result from fights over turf, status, and revenge.
Ho exactly did Helflands "backers split" (split meaning 50/50, generally?) become "many" in this blog (implying most, generally).
Do it lose something in the translation from an objective news coverage to a biased blog.
Yup, it did!
In Los Angeles County, law enforcement officials are aware of more than 1300 street gangs with over 150,000 members. In the City of Los Angeles alone, there are approximately 407 gangs and over 56,000 members.
Objective news coverage at LA ANTONIA TIMES or THE OLD GAY HAG ON SPRING STREET???
You have got to be kidding.
If anything Helfand and Lopez have gone out on a limb.
And many means more than a few. It does not mean more than a half. So MS is right. Sounds like a lot of Antonio's friends are pissed at him.
Except for the kool-aid drinkers.
What's worst? A Bush kool-aid drinker like Shawn Hannety or a Villar kool-aid drinker like Miguel Trujillo?
Corina is a hottie. Let me hook up with her and show her what a real man is like.

Well, it is finally happening and Venice is having a party.
Venice Fest is scheduled for Sunday June 24th.
Venice Fest was created to remind our local and neighboring community what Venice is made of. Venice Fest will be held from Noon till 9:00 pm on Sunday June 24th on Windward between Pacific Ave and the famous Venice Boardwalk. The all day event will feature music by great local bands
In addition, there will be a children’s area which will include a big bounce, a petting zoo and face painting.
The new trestle sign will be lit at dusk at a ceremony presided over by Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, Councilmember Bill Rosendahl, Kendrik Kinney, grandson of Venice founder Abbot Kinney, and other surprise guests.
The L.A. Times have sugar coated Antonio's break up just as they have sugar coated his career. You can thank Park Skelton and his Jewish connections for this exercise in "product protection." I can understand reporters giving Antonio the benefit of the doubt when failing to report the countless stories out there on Antonio indiscretions and outright atrocities. But there is no doubt anymore, just as there was never any doubt with the scores of past friends, colleagues, "brothers", and one nighters that knew the real Antonio. It is time for the L.A. Time's reporters to start letting the L.A. public know just who the real Antonio is- you have all the stories. The Daily News is going to beat you guys again. Why don't you guys start by reporting on his first son he gave up for adoption. That's a nice post father's day intro. Then maybe you can segway into Richard and Martha and their four children, the family that Antonio destroyed - and they were his best friends! Most observers in East L.A. already know these stories, why do you think Parke keeps Antonio away - the public has a right to know. Continuing to shield Antonio calls in to question your integrity as journalilsts.
6:51am
Appreciate your clues and all, but if you know names, why don't you post them, or do something about it. i wonder if its the same names i have. no wonder semilla got it's charter approved, after initial plan to reject. the people behind semilla are the people behind a lot of it. I'll give em one thing: At least they agree with Deming on "training and re-education." (Like how and when "people of color" will "run" the government.) If you wanna do that through a democratic process, FINE! I think it's happening through the money laundering and violate the US Constitution process.

THE NETHERLANDS EXPOSED TO NUMERO UNO PRESS RELEASE
OWNER OF NUMERO UNO MARKETS ARRESTED ON FEDERAL RACKETEERING INDICTMENT THAT ALLEGES MURDERS, CORRUPTION AND HARBORING OF ILLEGAL ALIENS
The owner of the Los Angeles-based Numero Uno supermarket chain, his brother and two associates alleged to be part of a racketeering conspiracy have been taken into custody during a two-day operation that also resulted in the seizure of approximately $1.25 million in cash and more than 60 vehicles.
The indictment alleges that Torres was using his business, Numero Uno Markets, as a corrupt organization, and that he used the assistance of public officials—including former Los Angeles Area Planning Commissioner Carmona and current Los Angeles Convention and Exhibition Center Authority Commissioner Luk - to obtain valuable licenses and permits for Torres' businesses in return for monetary kickbacks and lavish gifts.

From Steve Hymon column. Then the City Council approved Ernesto Cardenas, brother of Councilman Tony Cardenas, for a $115,000-per-year job as a Board of Public Works commissioner last week, how many council members asked Ernesto if his brother had cut a deal to get him a job?

Yeah yeah viva la raza. But you are not a race. You are not brown. You are not Mexican. You are american. And if you are not American then you belong in Mexico. If you are Mexican-American, as there are Italian-Americans that's great, but just because you love your Italian mom and Italian food doesn't make you any more Italian. If you were born in Mexico and you stole your way into the country for a better life, then that means that life in Mexico is not so grand or you would be there. If your parents came and you were born here to a Mother who stole her way in here than isn't it time that you and your mother become citizens of the counrty that feeds you? Pride is great.

It would be an easy way to do it, if in city hall, all of those contracts and transfer of funds. What a way to go Antonio, you have organized crime in your pockets...is this why tattood thugs surround you at certain office functions?
Write a dissertation on sodomy in the Mexican Mafia. Those ultimate "values voters" — the EME — took profound umbrage at homosexual-rape scenes in Edward James Olmos’ 1992 movie, American Me. Two of the film’s Eastside consultants were punctually murdered, and Olmos sweated out several years as the target of angry veteranos. According to Hollywood gossip, the actor-director ultimately mollified his critics with handsome contributions to the cause of traditional values.

Attn FBI,
Red Flag?
"The LA Times found that 172 political contributions were made to city politicians by executives and employees of 20 of the 26 contractors for LA Bridges"
some law enforcement officials believed that Marroquin was a front man for the Mexican Mafia prison gang and that NO GUNS was a facade for illegal activity and a channel for public funds.
One was Richard Valdemar, a retired sheriff's sergeant and expert on gangs who led an investigation that resulted in the first federal racketeering trial of Mexican Mafia members; it resulted in the conviction of 13. Valdemar said the Mexican Mafia has a long history of using anti-gang and drug rehabilitation groups as fronts to acquire public funds.
"This is a major part of their operation," said Valdemar, whom Marroquin unsuccessfully sued for defamation of character in 2002.
Valdemar said he and others voiced these concerns to the Sheriff's Department and the city of Los Angeles.
MARROQUIN REPORTED DIRECTLY TO SHERRIFF LEE BACA. WHAT IF BACA IS THE MAFIA MAN IN A CIVIL SERVICE JOB.
According to my findings, it appears that the Mayor lovers figure that by flooding a post like this with nonsense it makes it seem as if it didn't happen.
Fellow MS admins feel free to blast away at this crap if you want.
It didn't happen.
I've been say'n this all day.
Good Afternoon Mayor Sam,
Well so much for the "LA ANTONIA TIMES" ending their role as "SPINGANDALIST" for the "POLITICO FORMERLY KNOWN AS ANTONIO VILLARAIGOSA", Tony Villar.
In today's Op-Ed Section, They have started the "ROCKY WATCH". Talk about a way to redirect attention away from the Mayor.
I propose that Mayor Sam initiate "SONCHA WATCH". This being "DAY 7" After the "FAILURE OF ME" Press Conference, I propose that "SONCHA WATCH" rrmain in effect until the day that the "OTHER WOMAN" or "WOMENS", plural form, is revealed.

Op-Ed Rocky Watch?
Oh Please pull my donkey tail.
L.A.Times is a joke.
L.A. Times is in bed with MAV.
Dumb ass LA Slimes. Instead of doing a little research and investigate who the other woman is they divert attention and want to go after Rocky. It won't work cause at least Rocky has gone after the gang bangers. Antonio hated gang injunctions as a former ACLU crony. Why isn't Laura Chick N Shit going after how the hell DWP could overcharge $225 MILLION?? What will happen to city budget when they can't transfer from DWP? What about all the gang programs that have donated to all the politicial campaigns who has the guts to report the truth. Don't you think its interesting that NOT ONE CLOWNCIL MEMBER SAID ANYTHING about the DWP millions? Then in today's Daily News Chick N Shit passes the buck because $98 million wasn't collected. WHO THE HELL IS KEEPING AN EYE ON OUR MONEY. NOT THE MAYOR, NOT CLOWNCIL AND FOR SURE NOT LAURA CHICK N SHIT.
How does DWP divert millions to campaign contributions?
To 1:51 and 2:08: yes, it truly is scandalous: the LAT is going after Rocky for lapses of judgment that directly relate to his job, instead of digging more dirt on the Mayor.
They're leaving that to your little tiny minds.
As for trying to dump the whole gang money scandal thing onto the Mayor as part of some Mexican Mafia: isn't it Janice Hahn who's been the advocate for that L. A. Bridges financial boondoggle, and now wants to raise taxes for gang initiatives (to get her mug behind any P R for it, as though the cops/ Bratton with the Mayor and other CC members, and the DA weren't already trying to do that).
And if these alleged scandals go back to 2000, isn't that when her bro was Mayor?
2000. Villaraigosa was in office. The End.
Attention Red Spot...
Congratulations you have been promoted to admin status here on MS.
Feel free to start cleaning up any crap on this post you think should go.
Thank you!
I think this is the most informative Mayor Sam thread ever. Once the thread is done, I think it deserves a "cut and paste" highlight thread, under the title:
WASHINGTON DC NEEDS TO TAKE A LOOK AT MAYOR SAM'S THREAD (and post the link) to see what's going on in LA City Hall...but then George Bush would probably just get mad at me, too, for messing it all up...
BUT, hopefully, ONE decent US Attorney will look into this Nucklehead Nunez & Cahoots crew shenannigans.
YOU SHOULD SEE THE STUFF SOMEONE IS SENDING ME VIA EMAIL THAT REALLY PAINTS IT OUT....BUT I'M GONNA HAVE TO FIRE UP MY "BAT RESEARCH TOOLS" on ZumaTimes.com, first.
BUT IF YOU BELIEVE WHAT I READ IN THIS SERIES OF EMAILS...it's a lot worse than posted here.
basically, HELL YEAH, MAV, Nuckhead, Cahoots crew are all puppets in the bigger international picture.
no wonder that semilla charter school got approved after an initial thumbs down.
Cause that's part of the scheme. A small part, but they obviously plan on making it a bigger part of the "training and education" process.
Man, I bet these people couldn't pass a polygraph test on the new hit game show, "Are You A Treasonist?"
The only "loss of enthusiasm" the Mayor will care about is when the big developer contributors start bailing out. Until then, its all good.
He raised millions for the school board. Swiller is pumping developers for money - and getting it. Swiller cut a deal to get AV the keynote at the 2008 Democratic convention if AV supported Hillary. The deal got done.
Until the well dries up, why change?
How's this for absurd breaking news: India's "hugging Ama" is staying at the LAX Hilton, and is being picketed by Here Now/Labor Union/terror group, pressured to support them or leave the hotel. Her people say she can't speak English, and anyway, they signed a 3-yr deal before this mess, and she won't take sides in a local dispute -- even tho Here Now admits they called/pressured her all the way in India. Good going, Janice Hahn, sponsor of that illegal, failed bill: that's sure to get more bus to L A, shine a good light on us.
-- Harassing ladies who just hug.
Never mind that she's filling the L A Convention Ctr w/ her followers.
just out, rocky's "explanation" for his wife crashing a company car with a suspended license: she "didn't know" it was suspended, and he "didn't know" she wasn't supposed to be using a company car. Sound like anyone else, Paris Hilton, maybe? Gotta love it's exactly the same "we were too dumb to know, relied on our handlers to tell us," but he roared after Baca for being easy on Hilton.
Wonder if the media will buy this.
Where have we gotten to as a civilization when our leaders are all seemingly corrupt - and we just shake it off and wait for the next story.
Where are we when people care more about "reality TV" politics instead of facts and truth and getting things done?
Where are we when our damn politicians keep SAYING they listen to us but keep making deals for their own benefit?
Where are we when the press ignores stories out of fear of the politicians or fear that the politicians will spurn them? (Thank goodness for Steve Lopez and Dave Z)
Answer: Really deep shit. I bet this is how the Romans felt.

LOL!
This thread of posts are pure comedy.
Zuma, I'd love to tell your bat computer to have at it, but if I did I would be merely advocating you to waste RAM.
Yup. The truth is funny.
Except for Trujillo.
