Sunday Bloggin Comments (on an alleged "Couple of Faith", Joshua and Michelle) to Mayor Sam for 8-31-14

Its time to highlight those "Anonymous Maverick Commentators", who take the time to offer their respective insight/spin/chisme on our bloggin musings, (of course, we do not take responsibility, or endorse the comments noted here as true, but heck, sometimes they provide a tipoff worth further investigating ......., especially if the "Couple of Interest" are seeking to nefariously-usurp divine oversight).

Former Maverick Los Angeles Mayor Sam Yorty R.I.P.

** Blogger's Note: As the sun rises on the "Seventh Day", the Mayor Sam Blog has taken notice of many of you who have called, email and keyboard witness to a supposed "Husband and Wife Duo of Faith", that in a short bloggin period of time, have shown an alleged "inner-darkness of character", unseen in recent times. Not to bear False Witness (unlike the slanderous Cyber Cowards behind a vile Facebook Page), this blogger has heard, read, observed and been the recipient of repugnant attacks from the Wife Michelle Corzantes (supported by the Husband Joshua "PJ" Corzantes). Most chilling out of the stories shared by Our Lady of Gradalupe Church parishioners regarding the alleged, nefarious conduct of the Wife and Husband Duo, was a past incident involving German Youth, who were part of a long-practiced exchange program between Catholic Parishes around the World. According to sources, Husband and Wife Corzantes took the underage exchange parishioners to a Goth-theme Night Club (one can note "Michelle Kitty Goth's" Gothic proclivities by linking here). During the evening both Husband and Wife Corzantes, allegedly became intoxicated, prompting some within the group to state their concerns about being in the same vehicle with the impaired duo. Needless to say, that alleged incident, along with others (involving family members), were the cause of Our Lady of Gradalupe Church's decision to cut ties with the two. Now as Husband and Wife Corzantes move on to Cesar Chaves Elementary and All Saints Church, many of you are now giving witness, anonymously of course, unless you want to be slander on a vile Facebook Page---Scott Johnson. 

Would the All Saints Church Parish of El Sereno (pictured above) find it wise not to import the dubious "Youth Ministries Teachings" of former Rose Hill's Our Lady of Gradalupe Church Parish "Youth Ministry/Confirmation Director" Michelle Corzantes (and profanity-uttering Husband Joshua "PJ" Corzantes)?

Sunday (on Saturday) Bloggin Comments (on Cyber Bullying endorsing Genny) to Mayor Sam for 8-30-14

 Its time to highlight those "Anonymous Maverick Commentators", who take the time to offer their respective insight/spin/chisme on our bloggin musings, (of course, we do not take responsibility, or endorse the comments noted here as true, but heck, sometimes they provide a tipoff worth further investigating ......., especially if the allegedly SHREDDING of tax documents is involve.).

 Former Maverick Los Angeles Mayor Sam Yorty R.I.P.

** Blogger's Notes: Happy Opening College Football Saturday as we bring this Special Edition of Bloggin Comments to Mayor Sam. Many of you spent quality time, keyboarding comments on the likes of "Disempowerment LA", "Broken Deal Cedillo", a Staffer name "Julio", the former Marleen Caudillo (now Fonseca), among others. But by far, most of your comments were in regards to El Sereno Bicentennial Parade Coordinator Genny "I like Cyber Bullying" Guerrero. While many of your comments (and our recent coverage) have focus on Genny's endorsing (or in Facebook Speak, "Like") of a cowardly Cyber Bullying Facebook Page (which continues to grow it lists of victims), the paramount issue of importance should be why a long time community Non-Profit, that has been the recipient of both public and private funds (from the likes of Wells Fargo, Health Net, Alta Med among others), has SHREDDED past tax records. Maybe that is why those who dare ask such questions have become victims of slanderous acts of Cyber Bullying in the 90032?---Scott Johnson.

Maybe the "best decision" for the likes of Health Net, is not to give money to a community organization that has SHREDDED past tax documents.

For Genny Guerrero, denouncing Cyber Bullying is not a Priority

Should Wells Fargo Bank sponsor a Community Organization such as the El Sereno Bicentennial Committee (and its "Parade Coordinator" Genny Guerrero) who endorses Cyber Bullying and destroys its previous tax documents?

There is no way to prance around the fact that Wells Fargo Bank's continuing sponsorship of a organization (and its "Parade Coordinator") that "Likes Cyber Bullying", sends the wrong corporate message to its victims

Morning Briefs on the Los Angeles Political Machine for Monday

From his days as a Clowncilman Villar staffer, through gigs at DONE (aka "DONE DUM"), California State Government, with IT stops (mixed with Cyber Trolling, allegedly) along the way, Ulisses Sanchez is the latest ex. Clowncilman Huizar associate/staffer to gain employment, by shilling for a major project within the "Princeton Graduate's" Political Fiefdom.   

A Bloggin Uli Flashback!! 

Sources just confirmed that Jose Huizar is frantically try to find out who is Red Spot and whom might be blogging bad about him. He has aquired the help of two I.T. Specialist named Uli and one Mr. Lucero. Apperently they have been talking to men people about their assignment. I hope they know this is illegal and the Feds are probably monitoring Huizar moves. Wouldn't want to get you gentalmen mixed up in all this.

Former Maverick Los Angeles Mayor Sam Yorty R.I.P.

** Blogger's Note: Great Sunday to all as our "Its Sunday Bloggin to Mayor Sam" continues to be a cyber success. Bloggin content, like the theatrics at Los Angeles City Clowncil Central Committee Meetings, changes from day to day, but your opportunity to become an interactive part of the dialog, is only an Anonymous Comment away. In selecting this week's comments for highlighting, please note that we do not endorse, or condone the musings of our "Anonymous Maverick Commentators" as being true, but then if one searches the cyber archives of this blog, you can't discount the chisme posted here---Scott Johnson 

Absolutely Loyal (3 for loyalty and 5 for influence perfect score on Listgate) CD 14 City Clowncilman Jose Huizar Staffer Julio Torres. 

** If you never thought that political, absolute loyal pays off materially (ie. in a salary staffer position), then meet Julio Torres. Before cashing in on his solitary perfect score (3 and 5) as noted in our bloggin coverage of the 2011 Listgate Scandal, Julio was garnering journalistic/public relations insight from his work at the LA Times to create the glossy, community propaganda magazine "Our Town El Sereno". The timing of "Our Town El Sereno's" creation was most interesting considering that "The Voice Community News" (which Julio had been involved with before creating Our Town) was earning journalistic kudos for its objective reporting on community issues which did not cast Clowncilman Huizar in a positive light. Many local observers saw "Our Town El Sereno" as the "propaganda-counter publication" to The Voice, as it always regurgitated Clowncilman Huizar's Talking Points and never reporting negative news about the community. Its obvious from reviewing the publication that the glossy propaganda organ is supported by the Clowncilman (some have even speculated that its ad rates was being subsidize to under cut "The Voice"). Thus, why not have your community propagandist on the payroll (plus, he can insure that only fellow Huizzynistas serve on Park PABs, Neighborhood Councils, reward "Connected Non-Profits" and punish those, with help of Cyber Bullys, allegedly, who do not exhibit absolute loyalty to the "Dear Charro/Princeton Graduate")---Scott Johnson.

Grayce Liu we have a Problem!! Husband of LA-32 NC Treasurer Michelle Corzantes endorses Cyber Bullying of NC Board Member Angela Duarte and Stakeholders

"Disempowerment LA's" General Manager Grayce Liu needs to take decisive actions to condemn the "Cyber Bullying Attacks" against LA-32 Neighborhood Council Board Member Angela Duarte, former NC Members, Community Stakeholders and endorsed by the husband of current NC Treasurer Michelle Corzantes, Joshua "PJ" Corzantes.

"Disempowerment LA" GM Grayce Liu will not smile when she takes notice of a NC Board Member's husband condoning "Cyber Bullying Attacks" on fellow Board Members.

** Blogger's Note: There is nothing more disempowering today in the world of Social Media, than having your character attacked and besmirched by some coward hiding in the cyber shadows of the Internet.

For current LA-32 NC Board Member Angela Duarte (who I served with professionally on the last incarnation of the NC, for the record), she has become the latest victim of the cyber darkness of slanderous attacks via the "Stop the Bullies of El Sereno 90032 Facebook Page" ....., and as a photo below shows, the attack was "Like" by the husband of the NC's Treasurer Michelle Corzantes, Joshua "PJ" Corzantes (who also video tapes the meetings on behalf of the board).

Mayor Sam Exclusive: Details on Post LA-32 NC Meeting Profane Confrontation and Documents that show the "Female Bullying" cited as the cause of "Exhaustive Efforts"

In a Mayor Sam Exclusive, we report the details of last night's Post LA-32 NC Meeting Profane Verbal and near-Physical Confrontation that again, shows that "Disempowerment LA" is still in denial about the "Female Bullys", who were and still are the Root Cause of the board's placement of "Exhaustive Efforts", as documents obtain via a California Public Records Act clearly show.

Welcome Los Angeles Tourists to the Hollywood Sign!

Seems as if local NIMBY neighhbors to the world famous Hollywood Sign, which is older than anyone who lives up there, want to keep tourists to our great city from seeing this iconic landmark.

That's like New Yorkers blocking access to the Empire State Building or South Dakotans throwing up roadblocks to view Mount Rushmore.

In the interest of tourism, our local economy, good hospitality and pissing off these dumb CD4 NIMBYs, we offer up to tourists to Southern California these opportunities to see the totally awesome Hollywood Sign.

And with the good search engine optmization that the great Mayor Sam blog offers, we'll be certain this will wind up in so many Google searches tourists do, insturcing them how to reach the Hollywood Sign.

One way to see the Hollywood Sign

The folks at CurbedLA have put together three sure fire sets of directions on how tourists can visit the Hollywood Sign. 

Neighbors to the Hollywood Sign have apparently protested to Apple and other internet firms about maps and apps that show how to get to the Hollywood Sign.

You can read more about visiting the Hollywood Sign at sites such as Trip Advisor and Yelp.

You can also read the official Hollywood Sign website, though they have to do a dance between promoting the sign and not pissing off local politicians.

Council Member Tom LaBonge welcomes you to Hollywood,
home of the Hollywood Sign!

Did you know that an LAPD officer is posted at the Hollywood Sign 24 hours a day? With rising crime in Los Angeles, one would wonder if that is a good use of resources.

And certainly while we encourage that tourists to Southern California do visit and enjoy the Hollywood Sign, we certainly do advise you to adhere to the law, read posted signs and do not illegally tresspass.

But do enjoy our iconic Hollywood Sign!

Hat tip to the fun folks at CurbedLA!

I was a student at All ST. church and I have seen her in action. I'm not saying I saw her taking the money but my family have talked to people from the church confirming the embezzlement.
I was a student in her and Joshua's confirmation church and they both asked parents for A LOT. AND I DO MEAN A LOT OF MONEY. Almost $700 each child in the church and it was ridiculous amount of money.. I was furious of course and even more furious that this money didn't even go to the church. Also she has also done this to another church, Our Lady and i'm sure she's doing the same thing at Ceaser Chavez. She lives right next door to the school and is feared by the neighborhood children since she tends to you yell at them to get away from her home and children. I have even heard her fight with the neighborhood kids and call them cuss words.
The fact that she's allowed to work with children is horrifying and I for one want her removed from the school, the city and the state if possible. She also manipulates her authorities into getting what she wants which is why she always gets away with whatever she does. There is something seriously psychologically wrong with her and needs to be dealt with immediately.August 13, 2014 6:40 PM

Dispatches from the "Disempowerment LA-occupied" LA-32 Neighborhood Council Underground

As the "Disempowerment LA-occupied" LA-32 NC cancels another meeting. due this time to quorum issues, we keyboard a reply to its President Marleen Fonseca's (formerly terminated LAPD Employee Marleen Caudillo) response to a Mayor Sam Exclusive. 

When its Miller's Time in San Bernardino, West Hollywood or anywhere else, its always paramount to have a Designated Driver, especially if you work (or did) for LAPD.

** A LA-32 NC Community Disclaimer: Any objective blog posts regarding current LA-32 NC President Marleen Fonseca (formerly terminated LAPD Employee "Marleen Caudillo"), ally Treasurer Michelle Corzantez and "Connected Non-Profits" associates, the "El Sereno Bicentennial Committee" (which "liked" this page), "El Sereno Delusional Society" and "Friends of Cesar Chavez Elementary", may prompt false and vile accusations being posted about you, on the "Stop the Bullys from El Sereno 90032" Facebook Page, allegedly. 

Great Saturday afternoon from an undisclosed location with the "Disempowerment LA-occupied" LA-32 Neighborhood Council, where your First Amendment Right to speak freely and petition your supposed, elective community voice, will get you labeled a "BULLY" by a secretive group of supporters of the leadership of the latest "Julio Torres/Disempowerment LA-installed General Board" (for most part, not all).

Support the Right of Betty Pleasant to exercise her Freedom of Journalistic Expression in South LA

Residents of South Los Angeles and all who truly believe in a Free Press, should demand that the LA Wave Newspaper Group reinstate longtime "Soulvine Columnist" Betty Pleasant.

Supporters of the First Amendment Right to a Free Press should put the heat on LA County Board of Supervisor Mark "Home Renovation-Thomas, for his assault on the right of Betty Pleasant to express her opinion, free of political recrimination.

A Constitutional Reminder for the "Free Press Suppresser of South LA".

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.^[

Betty Pleasant on her departure from the LA Wave Newspaper via her George McKenna-related missive at City Watch.

Without batting an eye, I quit my newspaper job when the publisher chose to interfere with my support of McKenna and I’d do it again.  I don’t let a job hamstring my principles. I wasn’t raised like that.

Our Bloggin "Top Ten List" regarding Assemblyman Mike Gatto's "BREAK A RIB HAZING" directed at Colleague Matt Dababneh

We invite your bloggin interaction as we present our "Top Ten Reasons" for Assemblyman "Slabo Mikey" Gatto's "BREAK A RIB HAZING" of fellow former Congressman Brad Sherman Staffer, now Assemblyman Matt Dababneh. 

What was the supposed funny background behind "Slobo Mikey's" "BREAK A RIB HAZING" of the West Valley's newest Assemblyman (by a mere 300 votes)?  

Was "Slobo Mikey's" "BREAK A RIB HAZING" a ritual of Legislature Tradition or do both have a "deeper relationship"?

Boy, a side of Assemblyman "Slobo Mikey" Gatto we never knew!

In all our coverage of a "Infant Assemblyman (prone to infantile behavior)", now all grown up as the "Slobo Mikey" of the California Assembly, we never thought that we would keyboard a missive on the newly disclosed comedic proclivities of the former "Stay at Home Lawmaker".

But with fellow former Congressman Brad Sherman Staffer Matt Dababneh (the newly bloggin bestowed "Mini Gatto" of the Assembly) sworn in as the West San Fernando Valley's 45th Assemblyman, "Slobo Mikey's" sense of humor made an appearance in a supposed Legislated Ritual of Verbal Hazing a new member's first Bill before the Elective Body.

"Slobo Mikey" wasted no time in taking to the microphone and did not beak his own rib in gently hazing "Mini Gatto" with the apparent help of Congressman Sherman's Staff via text.

In reviewing the video of "Slobo Mikey's" comedic utterance, its easy to discern some deeper meaning behind the soon to be State Senate Candidate's (allegedly) "OH! So Gentle, BREAK A RIB" utterance (wink, wink)

Thus, in the spirit of noting "Slobo Mikey's" now known comedic qualities (especially when it deals with a "close" political ally), we barrow from Late Night Host David Letterman's "Top Ten List" in keyboarding our own bloggin version of speculative reasons behind Gatto's "BREAK A RIB" comment.

Councilman Park's Prophetic 2006 Concerns on flawed LAPD Crime Stats

Strange Blog About Assemblyman Mike Gatto

"Mike Gatto is a Sweet Dude" is a blog that celebrates the victories of Assemblyman Mike Gatto but also frequently posts a bizarre set of stories alluding to the Assemblyman's generous "manhood" as well as spewing all kinds of hatred and trash about anyone that is viewed as an opponent of Mike Gatto.

While we've been a target of the blog in the past, their more recent attacks have been directed at Ron Kaye, the former editor of the LA Daily News. Kaye has, in several local publications, been a critic of some of Gatto's policies, leading the Gatto blog to make crude sexual allegations against Kaye.

The blog, run by two individuals who claim to be named Jarvis Mitchell and Daulton Gatto, also refers to the Assemblyman as Mike "Testosterone" Gatto and has posted alleged photos of Gatto shirtless.

Are there any similar blogs dedicated to local elected officials or is this some sort of odd outlier?

Morning Briefs on the Los Angeles Political Machine for Monday

As the Los Angeles Times discloses on a Sunday Front Page Exclusive, the numbers-based strategies  behind LAPD"s COMPSTAT are flawed (or fraudulent) and an indictment of crime-fighting being usurp by a politically-driven need to show reduction in criminal activity.

 Damned the politically-driven vernacular, put the criminals behind bars (until now City Attorney Mike Feuer's co-authored AB 109 puts them back on the streets)!!

LAPD Chief Charlie Beck (with daughter Brandi) has now "COMPSTATgate" to go with "Ponygate" and an alleged Sex Scandal involving his uniformed off-spring.

Its Sunday's Bloggin Comments to Mayor Sam for 8-10-14

Its time to highlight those "Anonymous Maverick Commentators", who take the time to offer their respective insight/spin/chisme on our bloggin musings, (of course, we do not take responsibility, or endorse the comments noted here as true, but heck, sometimes they provide a tipoff worth further investigating).

Former Maverick Los Angeles Mayor Sam Yorty R.I.P.

** Blogger's Note: Great Sunday to all as our inaugural  "Its Sunday's Bloggin Comments to Mayor Sam" was a cyber success. Bloggin content, like the weather, change from week to week, but your opportunity to become an interactive part of the dialog, is only an Anonymous Comment away. In selecting this week's comments for highlighting, please note that we do not endorse, or condone the musings of our "Anonymous Maverick Commentators" as being true, but then if one searches the cyber archives of this blog, you can't discount the chisme posted here---Scott Johnson

Former CD 14 City Clowncilman Jose Huizar's Deputy Chief of Staff Francine Godoy stirs up the comments regarding her Sexual Harassment Lawsuit against the Princeton Graduate.

**The mention of former CD 14 Deputy Chief of Staff and current Sexual Harassment Litigant Francine Godoy, even indirectly when musing on her ex. boss proclivity of verbally abusing employees, is growing thin (with the exception of "John Justice") on some, but leave it one to offer a tidbit of alleged chisme .........
Anonymous said .... Francine is not a victim. She was aware of the repercussions being the mistress (obvious in denial). Sounds like, Huizar didn't give her the wife role she wanted so badly. Her behavior is common to a vindictive mistress retaliating. She should be sued for wasting tax payers dollars while on her back performing her "duties".. You have to wonder what was her job description. Sincerely a Concerned Tax Payer

Dispatches from the "Disempowerment LA-occupied" LA-32 Neighborhood Council Underground

As the incompetent debacle of "Disempowerment LA's" politically-motivated, punitive Exhaustive Efforts actions against the LA-32 Neighborhood Council becomes more evident, we present our inaugural edition of "Dispatches from the Disempowerment LA-occupied LA-32 Neighborhood Council Underground".  

In honor of the most recent meeting cancellation of the LA-32 NC General Board (August 6) due to "posting issues", we dedicate this inaugural post of "Dispatches" to "Disempowerment LA" General Manager Grayce Liu.

SHARING A "CUT AND PASTING TEACHABLE MOMENT" WITH THE "DISEMPOWERMENT LA-INSTALLED EMPRESS CARLOTA" OF THE LA-32 NC, IN THE SPIRIT OF AVOIDING BROWN ACT VIOLATIONS

"Disempowerment LA Neighborhood Empowerment Advocate" Lisette Covarrubias

Great bloggin morning from an undisclosed cyber location within the "Disempowerment LA-occupied" LA-32 Neighborhood Council. As the politically-motivated and punitive Exhaustive Efforts actions against the LA-32 NC continues, we like to share a "teachable moment" with the installed "Empress Carlota of the LA-32 NC", Lisette Covarrubias, on the wonders of "Cut and Pasting". The bloggin art of "Cut and Pasting" is well documented in CD 14 as exampled by this blogger's "cut and pasting below" of agenda posting locations from the February 20, 2014 LA-32 NC General Board Agenda ...........

Agenda is posted for public review at the Barrio Action Youth & Family Center, 4927 Huntington Dr. LA CA 90032, and El Sereno Library 5226 Huntington Drive So. , LA, CA 90032, El Sereno Recreation Center, 4721 Klamath St, LA, CA 90032, Rose Hill Recreation Center, 4530 Mercury Avenue, LA, CA 90032, El Sereno Senior Citizens Center, 4818 Klamath St. LA CA 90032.

Now as our "Cut and Paste Teachable Moment" continues, we ditto the above by now using the first Agenda under the occupation of "Disempowerment LA" from February 26, 2014.

The agenda’s for the Board’ meetings are posted for public review at the following locations: El Sereno Library, 5226 Huntington Drive So., LA, CA 90032; El Sereno Senior CitizensCenter, 4818 Klamath Place, LA, CA 90032; El Sereno Recreation Center, 4721 KlamathSt., LA, CA 90032; Rose Hills Recreation Center, 4530 Mercury Avenue, LA, CA 90032;and CSULA, 5151 State University Drive, LA, CA 90032.

As any discerning observer reading this blog can note, the cyber art form of "Cut and Pasting" has the amazing ability to highlight the inconsistent posting locations between the February 20 and 26 Agendas. Thus, empowering the inquisitive process of discerning why "Empress Carlota" (with supposed oversight from "Disempowerment LA GM Grayce Liu) would arbitrarily change long-established posting locations without community and board input.

The amazing ability of "Cut and Pasting" can also disclose an apparent breakdown in communication (for six months) between the "Disempowerment LA-installed Empress Carlota" and the new incarnation of the LA-32 NC, as one can view by linking to the various Board and Committee Agendas crafted by the Elective Body, as exampled by the respective the July, 2014 Executive Committee Agenda, along with the "Disempowerment LA-crafted Agenda for the cancelled August 6 LA-32 NC General Board Meeting posted below .............. 

Agenda is posted for public review at the Barrio Action Youth & Family Center, 4927 Huntington Dr. LA CA 90032, and El Sereno Library 5226 Huntington Drive So. , LA, CA 90032, El Sereno Recreation Center, 4721 Klamath St, LA, CA 90032, Rose Hill Recreation Center, 4530 Mercury Avenue, LA, CA 90032, El Sereno Senior Citizens Center, 4818 Klamath St. LA CA 90032  

The agenda’s for the Board’ meetings are posted for public review at the following locations: El Sereno Library, 5226 Huntington Drive So., LA, CA 90032; El Sereno Senior Citizens Center, 4818 Klamath Place, LA, CA 90032; El Sereno Recreation Center, 4721 Klamath St., LA, CA 90032; Rose Hills Recreation Center, 4530 Mercury Avenue, LA, CA 90032; and CSULA, 5151 State University Drive, LA, CA 90032.

As the "Cut and Pasted" examples above clearly show, we had and still have, a failure to communicate some six months after "Disempowerment LA's takeover of the LA-32 NC ........., and how did "Empress Carlota" respond when presented with this information, along with the fact that the Agenda for the cancelled August 6, 2014 Meeting was not posted on the NC Website 72 hours before the meeting? This is where the ability to "Cut and Paste" becomes priceless .........
