LAFD Command Staffer Made Homicidal, Suicidal Threats During '21 Domestic Violence Attack

By Daniel Guss

@TheGussReport on Twitter - During a presentation on March 8th celebrating International Women's Day, LA City Hall's most powerful women posed for photos and made inspiring comments about women in leadership.

Simultaneously, three of them, Mayor Karen Bass, Councilmember Monica Rodriguez and LAFD Chief Kristin Crowley, dodged this column's questions about disturbing videos in the LAFD's and LAPD's possession showing a female member of the Los Angeles Fire Department's command staff making repeated homicidal and suicidal threats during and after her violent attack on her then-live-in domestic partner, who is also female.

Passing Gascón: LA Fails To Recall District Attorney Who Is As Leftist As He Promised

By Daniel Guss

@TheGussReport - Los Angeles wanted a far-left approach to criminal justice reform and now it has it for keeps.

Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder Dean Logan, whose firing this column called for in 2018, today rejected the latest effort to recall District Attorney George Gascón because organizers allegedly did not provide enough signatures to make the ballot.

It's as simple as that.

While former L.A. District Attorney Steve Cooley is pledging to bring Logan to court for allegedly failing to follow updated signature rejection guidelines, don't invest your time, heart or money in that effort.  Logan should never have been given that power in the first place because we already knew controversy had followed him to L.A. from his earlier job in Washington State and throughout his tenure in L.A.

Rejecting Paul Koretz and Ron Galperin, LA Times Regains Some Of Its Marbles

By Daniel Guss

@TheGussReport - Like a rare hybrid eclipse, this column finally aligns with at least the essence of the Los Angeles Times' first two endorsements for the upcoming June primary, which are best summarized as:

• Paul Koretz should not be the next LA City Controller
• Ron Galperin should not be the next California Controller

Considering that the Times repeatedly endorsed locals like convicted felon Mitch Englander; indicted Jose Huizar and Mark Ridley-Thomas; Gavin Newsom, Jerry Brown, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Gray Davis; Eric Garcetti and Antonio Villaraigosa; Nury Martinez and Herb Wesson; Kamala Harris, George Gascon, Mike Bonin, bigamist Curren Price (despite his denials), other fakers and takers, and yes, Koretz and Galperin, it may now see the consequences of those disastrous recommendations.

I don't entirely buy that the Times gets it, yet, and neither should you.  But rejecting Koretz and Galperin in 2022 is a good start.

Hot Morning Briefs on the Los Angeles (and Beyond) Political Machine for Monday

The Mayor Sam Blog's Morning Briefs for Monday touches upon Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti's retraction of his Endorsement of LA District Attorney Jackie Lacey following her superb Debate Performance, speculation that new LA Police Commission Member Maria Lou Calanche wants to end the Ramona Gardens Community Safety Partnership with LAPD, and a preview of the much-anticipated 28th Congressional District Debate between Maryland-residing Congressman Adam Schiff and Republican Challenger Eric Early.  

Why would LA Mayor Eric Garcetti retract his Endorsement of LA County District Attorney Jackie Lacey, after her superb Saturday Debate Performance (broadcasted by ABC Channel 7) against George Soros-Gascon?

** Blogger's Notes: City of Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti finally got with line with the Calizuela Ruling Junta in their quest to purge pragmatic, Moderate African-American Officeholders from its collectivist ranks. Following incumbent LA County District Attorney Jackie Lacey's superb debate performance against former San Francisco DA (and LAPD Officer) George Gascon on Saturday evening, Mayor Garcetti bowed to the campaign financial wishes of Leftist Billionaire George Soros, by retracting his previous Endorsement of the Incumbent DA. We should note that the ABC Channel 7-hosted debate featured absolutely NO questions on prosecuting Political Corruption, which Mayor Garcetti surely found comforting.

Do Black Family Lives Matter to new LAPD Police Commissioner (and former Richard Alatorre Staffer) Maria Lou Calanche, as she allegedly seeks to remove the CSP Program from the Ramona Gardens Housing Project?

The Mayor Sam Blog has been made aware by well-placed sources that new LA Police Commission Member Maria Lou Calanche, is allegedly seeking to end the LAPD/HACLA Community Safety Partnership in the Ramona Gardens Housing Project. The HACLA-financed Partnership was instrumental in reassuring the Housing Development's African-American Families, after being targeted by a Latino Street Gang. Commissioner Calanche, who's Legacy LA Non-Profit was previously a Gang Reduction, Youth Development (GRYD Program) Contractor, should be open and transparent on her true motivation for wanting the removal of the dedicated CSP LAPD presence, if true. 

The much-anticipated Debate between Glendale (via Maryland) Congressman Adam Schiff and Republican Challenger Eric Early is tonight.

The Mayor Sam Blog plans on being in attendance as the much-anticipated 28th Congressional District Debate between Democratic Incumbent Congressman Adam Schiff and Republican Challenger Eric Early takes place this afternoon. We relish that the Maryland-residing Officeholder will be reminded of his absentee leadership regarding his West Coast District's declining quality of life issues ……., and his prominent role in the attempted impeachment/coup targeting President Trump----Scott Johnson.
