MLK Day Briefs on the Character (deprived?) Los Angeles (and beyond) Political Machine

On this Day that we honor the Legacy of Civil Rights Icon Martin Luther King Jr. the Mayor Sam Blog continues its tradition (actually daily endeavor) to NOT judge the operatives of our local Political Machine, based upon their Skin Color, but instead, document Acts of Policy Character (or lack of). 

Wonder if MLK would favor Character/Merit-based Immigration, but I digress?

** Blogger's Notes: We want to wish everyone a great, MLK Day of Character Refection. To paraphrase the timeless vision of the Civil Rights Icon ........, "Today, like yesterday and tomorrow, politicos and enabling entities WILL NOT be judged by their ethnicity, but by the character content of their actions". That stated, we want to give bloggin witness to our cyber audience in continuing to expose (below) those in need of a CHARACTER INTERVENTION, but also COMMEND those (in a separate Blog Post later today), who's talk of Character .........., is matched by ACTION-----Scott Johnson.

** As Los Angeles City Clowncil Central Committee Member Mike Bonin, along with colleagues Paul Koretz, Marqueece Harris-Dawson and Jose Huizar seek approval to join the growing Green Leftist Lawsuit Demonetization of Big Oil (in reality, a redistribution money grab), the CD-11-derided Bike Lane Advocate and his Clowncil Climate (Fraud) Fellow Travelers, may want to allocate some office time to deal with EXPOSED realities (Chevron and its supported LA Jobs PAC) of Contribution Hypocrisy.

** To paraphrase noted American Social Commentator Forrest Gump (in fitting with the CD-1 Communal Culture) ......., "STUPIDO IS as STUPIDO DOES (especially if STUPIDO is also known as Broken Deal Cedillo)". The Act of Breaking Deals, Reneging on your Word (or SIGNED Letter as pictured above)), is second-nature to the Re-elected CD-1-representing City Clowncil Central Committee Member as ANGRY Lincoln Heights Community Members are witnessing.

** There was once a time in Los Angeles Journalistic History when the shouts of the Paper Boy pronouncing "EXTRA! EXTRA! Read all about it", merited a prompt response to indulge in the latest EXCLUSIVE missive ........., based upon objective facts. But decades later, the Paper Boy has been replaced with an App on your Cell Phone, that acts as a Propaganda Dispenser of "STUFF" too good to be true ........, from a certain "Old Gray Collectivist Resister on Spring Street". Indeed, the State of local Journalism, is devolving into a One Political Party Regurgitation of Anti-Trump/Republican Disinformation, that serves as a cover for the GROWING corruption, via the CADEM Establishment/Special Interest United Machine, which controls "Cubafornia on the Pacific". But for those who STILL espouse to practice the craft of Reporting, based upon Who, What, Where, When, How and Why (without bias or shakedown for Public Funds), we present The View's Megyn McCain's Tutorial on deconstructing a Journalistic Fraud. Remember Character COUNTS-----Scott Johnson.   

Off the Record, NAUGHT when engaging in Agenda Journalism.

Evening Briefs on Political Character (or lack of) for MLK Day

On this Day designated to honor the Legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. we emulate the Spirit of the late Civil Rights Icon, by judging select Politico's "Acts (or lack of) of Political Character": that are NAUGHT predicated on Racial Identity.

A Tutorial for the 21st Century Democrat Party.

** Blogger's Note: Great afternoon on this Martin Luther King (MLK) Jr. Day as many enjoy a brief break from Mother Nature's cyclical endeavor to replenish California's Water Infrastructure (that begins again on Thursday). Just as Californians are being blessed this Rain Season, the Soul of America is better for being the Birth Country of MLK ......, and subsequent Life of Bridging Inequality (via countless episodes of selfless, acts of character). Indeed, 54 years after MLK's Landmark "I Have A Dream Speech", we firmly believe that America has become a more inclusive society (despite the recent pronouncements of a certain soulless Political Party) .........., and that CHARACTER still counts. In that spirit, we wish to pay homage to MLK with a Bloggin, Teachable Moment in Political Character (or lack of), with the goal of reminding our "Subjects on Interest" that Skin Color is no excuse/cover for ........, for a Lack of Character----Scott Johnson.

** The Questionable Neighborhood Commitment of Miguel Vargas: There was a time in American Society when stories of the "Local Kid, Done Good .... in Returning Home", was the norm. But in CD-14, when the Local Kid returns home after working for City Councilman Jose Huizar, commitment to the "Hood" becomes secondary to the still, "Political Papi's Wishes" ......, as exampled by LA-32 Neighborhood Council Vice-President Miguel Vargas. Vargas, who worked for Councilman Huizar, before being "blessed" with becoming the Executive Director of the Downtown Arts District "BID Zone", sought and was elected to the LA-32 NC via espousing his community ties (while conveniently deleting his professional background). Upon his election, Vargas sought and was appointed the NC's Land Use & Development Committee, pledging to put the interest of his "HOOD" paramount ............, or in reality, being the local, enabling Shill for his "Political Papi's Development Desires, as evident via HIS SUPPORT OF NO ON MEASURE S. 

Miguel Vargas "DISDAIN" for his Communal Integrity?

CD 1 City Councilman Gil "Broken Deal Cedillo's" Continuing Felonious Connections: They're back!! With CD 1 City Councilman Gil "Broken Deal Cedillo" facing a GROWING backlash as he seeks another four years of government assistance/employment, he again turns to his loyal (and litigious) campaign enablers, "740 Club Mario" and "Felonious Larry". Proving again that he is tone-deaf to allegations of corruption, Cedillo is again, using (and allegedly) paying for the services of the notorious hack Mario Beltran (via his Principia Group, LLC) .........., and a Santa Ana-based "Swept Off Instead (to Patton State Hospital?) LLC, allegedly connected to "Felonious Larry", for $10,000 in Voter Registration work.

"Broken Deal Cedillo's" expenditures to his "Litigious Enablers".

** The Political Misadventures of Congressman Ted "Hamas Teddy" Lieu: There is TRULY something wrong with the Political Character of Westside LA Congressman Ted "Hamas Teddy" Lieu when he announces his intentions to Boycott President-Elect Donald Trump's Inauguration,, especially in lieu of his past REFUSAL to return an "Award" from the Hamas-linked, Council on Islamic American Relations (CAIR). We surmise that "Hamas Teddy's Boycott" will play (and PAY off) well with his Liberal Base .........., but in his convoluted-mind,  the Ruskies are Coming!!

Does "Congressman Hamas Teddy" CAIR more to be in the company of alleged, "Terrorist Enablers" than the incoming, President of the United States?

We have a dream in CD 14 .....

 Only in CD 14 would a numerical rating of loyalty and influence come before the judge of character.

To paraphrase from Martin Luther Kings's "I Have a Dream" speech on the political reality in CD14: 

"I have a dream that my neighbors and friends will live in a council district where they will not be judge by a loyalty and influence number, but by the content of their communal character.

Great MLK Day to all as many gather to celebrate the life and legacy of Rev. Martin Luther King. On this day, this blogger wants to take the time to honor those within CD 14 who have been selfless in putting community before self, but sadly are judge by a councilman for their loyalty to him and influence. Lets hope that this post can serve as a teachable moment to the Boyle Heights native, that character within our council district is not predicated on political loyalty and the influence garner by these individuals, is a byproduct of their endeavors.

Name:     Councilman Huizar's (loyalty and influence score) ** as documented to the LA Times.
