This is the city: Los Angeles, California. I work here. I'm an ex-mayor. Los Angeles is a magnet for people from all over the world. Some of them run for public office. Inevitably some of them stray from the golden rule and rule for those that have the gold. That's when I go to work. My name is Yorty. I'm a dead pol.

Inconvenient Briefs on the LA Political Machine (and Beyond) for Friday
CityWatch LA's Daniel Guss keyboards another Inconvenient Truth regarding Mayor Eric Garcetti's Animal Services Department-appointee Roger Wolfson, who's "Domestic Issues", are worthy of a bloggin missive on the level of his former Political/Television Word-craft.
Noted ex Political Staffer, Film/Television Writer, Attorney and latest Mayor Eric Garcetti Controversial Appointee Roger Wolfson.
** Blogger's Notes: Is it true that Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti likes to give appointed opportunities to those with ..........., "Domestic Issues"?
The following excerpt is, very-interesting to note ..........
In El-Shinnawy’s application for a restraining order against Wolfson, she claimed that the LAPD did not respond to her May 13, 2014, plea for help. When I asked LAPD spokesperson Josh Rubenstein why that happened, he forwarded my request to the agency’s Discovery Unit but did not respond when I pointed out that the Discovery Unit doesn’t provide explanations, only records and notoriously withholds many of those, as well.
........, considering that many are whispering about an alleged Echo Park Domestic Incident that LAPD may have documented, but will not disclosed.
The Agenda Wreckage of a "Fishwrap of Record (formerly on Spring Street)".
With apologies to certain Scribes at the supposed Los Angeles "Fishwrap of Record (relocated to El Segundo)", we have to question (again), the apparent subjective choices made by its Editors regarding ............., story budgeting.
The allocation of story budgeting to expose an apparent honest mistake by a CD-12 Staffer, is subjectively-disproportionate, considering that a former California Democratic Assemblyman and State Senate President, openly lied about the Council District of Birth last Friday ................., with a Times Staff Writer seated in the audience.
Glendale (residing in Maryland) Congressman Adam Schiff in his usual, delusional state.
Friday could not come soon enough for supposed Glendale-based, Calizuela 28th District Congressman Adam Schiff, who personifies the delusional mindset of Democratic (more like Seditioncratic) Politicians afflicted with, Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS).
As the Lead Seditioncrat House Manager, the emotions of fronting a taxpayers-financed attempt to remove a fairly-elected President Donald Trump, became a "Cry Me A River (of Lies) Moment" ........., worthy of the appropriate Musical Dedication
In noting Schiff's Ethical/Emotional Collapse on the Floor of the Senate, we would be remiss in not requesting your consideration of Schiff for Brain's Republican Challenger Eric Early, who will return legislated honor to a Congressional District in need of a Schiff Removal-----Scott Johnson.

Mayor Sam Exclusive: Fact Checking Kevin Alexander (of or de) Leon Regarding Council District of Birth
In a Mayor Sam Sister City News Group Exclusive, we fact check the Statement of CD-14 City Council Candidate Kevin Alexander (of or de) Leon made at last Friday's El Sereno Forum, regarding being a born native of the District.
The California Medical Center in Downtown LA.
** Blogger's Notes: During last Friday's CD-14 Candidate Forum in El Sereno, a tardy former Assemblyman, State Senate President and failed US Senate aspirant known politically as Kevin de Leon, did not waste any time in raising eye brows among the longtime CD-14 Stakeholders in attendance.
As the Local Political Machine's anointed choice to replace the termed-out City Councilman Jose Huizar within the John Ferraro Council Chamber's Horseshoe, de Leon is merely using candidate forum as an exercise to espouse pre-conceived talking points (when not belittling his opponents), but not without push back or fact checking .............., regarding the real Council District of his Birth.
In the course of de Leon's Friday's Opening Statement, audience members (and this Blogger), were surprise to learn that the formerly Assembly Candidate Carpetbagger (and current couch surfer) was born in CD-14 ........, or was he?

** Blogger's Notes: If you were not able to attend last Friday's CD-14 City Council Candidate Forum at the Los Angeles Presbyterian Christian Church in El Sereno, the blame for not having other Neighborhood Council-sponsored opportunities to question the aspirants seeking to replace the termed-out Councilman Jose Huizar, rests with the six NCs (with support from the League of Women Voters), who jointly hosted this gathering.

The stand-alone Hermon Neighborhood Council Candidate Forum tonight.
Why would the NCs sponsoring this Forum, not conduct their own stand-alone Debates in their respective communities, maybe to protect K.A. Leon?
