"Ted Lieu, Is Everything Okay?"

 By Daniel Guss

@TheGussReport - "...What we want to know is what was going on when Southern California Congressman Ted Lieu Tweeted laudatory thoughts about President Joe Biden, citing American job creation statistics from a dubious Nigerian blog that said American independence was first declared on 'July 4, 1774.'"

Or that President "Buden" is the 45th President of the United States.

We're no math majors, but if we got our guzintas right, 45 was President Donald Trump.

It'll make more sense if you check out the rest of the story on my Substack.

Morning Briefs/Flashbacks Regarding A Voter Fraud-rendering (allegedly) Los Angeles and National Political Machine

With absolutely NO APOLOGIES to the "Old Gray Hag Propagandist on Spring Street (aka, LA Times), we disclose some bloggin inconvenient linkage between alleged (and DOCUMENTED) examples of Voter Fraud , perpetrated by the Local and National Democratic Political Machine, in lieu of Republican Candidate Donald Trump's Debates Comments regarding the acceptance of November's Election Results .  

** Blogger's Note: In the aftermath of last evening's Presidential Debate, THEE dominate post- debate topic is the Republican Nominee's comment regarding the Acceptance of November's Election Results ............... and well, Trump has a valid Point (think Bush vs. Gore 2000), contrary to the subjective, journalistic-disqualifying rants/missives, originating on Spring Street. Local supporters of Bernie Sanders know all too well the Democratic Establishment's proclivity to ......., dare we say, F-ING RIGGED, the electoral process, as exampled by the recent DOCUMENTED, unbalanced Democratic Primary. Many local Progressive True-believers, who we have seen commenting on Social Media and conversed with during the 2016 Presidential Proceedings, know all-to-well the Democratic Political Machine's past episodes of "RIGGING Elections" for their chosen proxies. We can Flashback to 2003 when a certain, reelection-seeking City Councilman gathered with his followers in a second story office, near the Intersection of Soto and Cesar Chavez in Boyle Heights ........... and warned those gathered, that "outsiders would be bused into the district", seeking to (successfully) install the Machine's latest "Chosen One ". Thus, possibly the motivation for the superb "Caption This Missive" we excerpted below ........, along with inconvenient examples of past and present Election Rigging----Scott Johnson. 

A blogging flashback from a 2007 "Photo of the Day/Caption this Post". 

Mayor: So then I put them on the bus, and sent them to the polls and told the poll workers to look the other way or they would be fired...
Paris: Oh mayor, you're so strategic.
Mayor: Yeah, I know Stevie Wonder. We did a duet last week, like he did with Paul McCartney in the 80's.
Paris: Maybe you can sing on my next record?
Mayor: Yeah, I would also like to make a video with you. I've heard you like to do that. I live in a huge mansion.
Paris: I have a special camera that films even in the dark.
Mayor: I did 500 sit ups today.
Paris: That's hot.
Mayor: I AM hot!

** Fast forward back to the present as Project Veritas exposes Democratic Operatives orchestrating Election Fraud. 

Ex. (fired after video went public) Democratic Operative Scott Foval.

Sound Familiar? From NPR Report on Project Veritas Voter Fraud Video . Unaware that he was being recorded by a hidden camera, Foval appeared to walk through how operatives could commit voter fraud by shipping in out-of-state people to vote. "You can prove conspiracy if there's a bus," he says at one point. "If there are cars, it's much harder to prove."

**  Lets not forget Los Angeles reigning (and convicted) Poster Child for Voter Fraud Larry "Nativo" Lopez ............., and "Politico Soul Mate" CD 1 City Councilman Gil "One Bill" Cedillo.

Dinner with Gilbert and Larry regarding Driver Licenses for Undocumented Democratic Voters, as supported by Hillary Clinton Campaign Leader John Podesta? See below ......

** Via the Wikileaks Emails Disclosures, we have found the root motivation for the years-long quest of Career Politico Gilbert "One Bill Gil" Cedillo ........, and his "Close Relationship" with the  infamous Larry "Nativo" Lopez. From the Gateway Pundit.

A Momentary Bloggin Episode in Deconstructing Factually-challenged Comments via Mayor Garcetti and the LA Times

With no apologies to the likes of Mayor Eric Garcetti and "The Old Gray Collectivist Hag on Spring Street (aka LA Times)", your bias, subjective attempts to misrepresent yesterday's Republican Presidential Candidate Donald Trump's "Second Amendment Comment (and other verbal utterances)", cannot whitewash the 2008 Wife of Impeached President Bill Clinton's  "Robert F. Kennedy Assassination Comment" ......., and Joe Biden's "Shotguns and Beretta Joke" directed at, now President Barack Obama.   

The "Local Democratic Machine Fishwrap of Record" and Mayor Eric Garcetti.

** Blogger's Note: We interrupt a Mayor Eric Garcetti-led delegation to the 2016 South of the Equator Olympics (and the LA Times reporting of), to bring our cyber-audience a "Bloggin Teachable Moment" on the pratfalls of engaging in factually-challenged, partisan presidential politics in the Age of the Internet. 

As the "Old Gray Collectivist Hag on Spring Street (aka LA Times)" reports, the Second Term-seeking Mayor expressed concerns about the possible impact a "Donald Trump Presidency" would have on LA's quest to hope the 2024 Olympics. 

Of course, after yesterday's substance-devoid, outrage over the Second Amendment Rights comments via the New York Billionaire, the Rhodes Scholar, turned multi-ethnic politico with national office aspirations, would be remiss if he did not join in the Main Stream Media-led (with the LA Time's aiding and abetting), context-lacking Pinata Party, targeting the Republican Nominee. 

But as we document below, Mayor Garcetti and the LA Political Machine's "Fishwrap PR Contractor of Record", cannot gloss over the TRUTH of a "certain 2008 Democratic Candidate (and current 2016 Democrat Presidential Nominee), who cited the 1968 Los Angeles Ambassador Hotel Assassination of Senator Robert F. Kennedy, in rebutting calls to drop out before the California Primary, against now President Barack Obama. 

But more telling in outing the Double Standard of those who found insinuations of violence and malice, lurking between the syllables of Candidate Trump's remarks, is the video below of now Vice-President Joe Biden's "Shotguns and Beretta Joke" directed at his then, running mate Barack Obama.

In the Spirit of Objectively ........., and in educating those trapped in a bias, subjective mind set, we have posted all three videos for your open-minded review below----Scott Johnson.

Democratic Presidential Nominee Hillary Clinton's "2008 Assassination Comments".

Morning Briefs on the Los Angeles Political Machine for Tuesday

As the Liberal, Main Stream Media (MSM) fixates its attention on a "Trumped-up Plagiarism Controversy", Jamiel Shaw Sr. states the BLUNT TRUTH regarding the horror of "Illegal Alien Brown on Black Violence", that took the life of his namesake Son, on the Opening Night of the 2016 Republican Party Convention.

Jamiel Shaw Sr. speaking at the Republican Party Convention in Cleveland, Ohio.

** With no apologies to the Talking Point-repeating cronies of the local Democratic Party Establishment Machine, we interrupt your tired attempt to echo the Main Stream Media's "Trumped-up Plagiarism Controversy", to give Witness, via the emotional testimony of a grieving Father, on the Inconvenient Truth that is the on-going "Brown on Black/Black on Brown Gang Violence" that took the life of Jamiel Shaw Jr.

A city, state and country, that has been fixated on a supposed epidemic of alleged Police-instigated killings of young Black Americans (along with the Terrorist-like attacks , targeting Law Enforcement), would find it wise to review the emotional Testimonial of Jamiel Shaw Sr. 

Blunting, young men of color (along with innocent bystanders) are still dying in South LA, due to an up-string in ethnic-rooted gang violence ......., and NOT because of targeted Police Killings.

The FACT that Jamiel Shaw Jr. at the hands of a Illegal Alien Gang Member, who should of been deported or placed on an "ICE Hold" (a protocol supported by the likes of Gloria Molina), is a Policy Issue that merits a "color-blind discussion", not muted due to Political Correctness ..........., as evident via the silence of Public Officials regarding "Brown and Black/Black on Brown Violence".

** The LA Weekly (aka "The Weedleaf of Record") was timely (Sunday before the RNC Convention) in outing controversial Downtown Developer  Geoff Palmer's "Financial Support" of Donald Trump's Presidential Campaign. 

While Scribe Hillel Aron practice due diligence via incorporating pertinent links to Palmer's past controversial developer antics, missing is any mention of his "favorite PLUM Committee Chairperson", who showed more haste in urging a swift investigation of the Palmer-owned Da Vinci Complex Fire ........in comparison to the racially-motivated Fire Bombings of African American Families.

A Morning Brief on Biological (and Political) Inbreeding via Steve "Mini Riordan I" Soboroff

The failed Political Replication of former Mayor Richard Riordan, now Police Commissioner Steve "Mini Riordan I" Soboroff, again highlights his Political DNA Linkage to LA's former top officeholder, by inserting "Foot in Mouth" while describing the alleged biological similarities of a Donald Trump Rally attendees.    

Fail Mayoral Candidate, now LAPD Commission Member Steve "Mini Riordan I" Soboroff.

** Blogger's Note: The following is a quick bloggin dissertation on the follies of Political Replications as exampled, again, by former failed Mayoral Candidate, now LAPD Commissioner Steve "Mini Riordan I" Soboroff. Longtime political observers will remember that the noted Frontperson of the Playa Vista Development, was former Mayor Richard Riordan's choice to succeed him upon completing his Second Term in 2001, but fail to make the Runoff where James Hahn defeated the then Antonio Villaraigosa. The similarities between Riordan and Soboroff in community endeavors, political philosophy, and mannerisms, has garnered the current Police Commissioner the bloggin moniker of "Mini Riordan I", especially when he inserts "foot in mouth, via tweets", just as the former Mayor did on multiple occasions before the Era of Social Media. Judging from the tweet below, "Mini Riordan I" was channeling the mindset of the late (and disgraced) former CBS Football Commentator (and Gambler) Jimmy "The Greek" Snyder, in giving his thoughts on the alleged biological linkage of those who attended a recent Donald Trump Rally in Indiana. Its apparent via the silence from Mayor Eric Garcetti, that racial stereotyping/commentary regarding alleged inbreeding practices involving White People, is acceptable speech for his Mayoral Appointees. But we bloggin DARE note that if the rally attendees were Black, Asian, Latino, Indigenous or Female .........., then at this moment, there would be one less "Mini Riordan" serving in any official capacity within the City of LA----Scott Johnson.

Saturday Thoughts on the "Selfie Politics" of Racial Identity/Immigration

The blowback over the recent Charleston, South Carolina Church Massacre and GOP Presidential Candidate Donald Trump's Generalization of Mexican Illegal Aliens takes on a local dimension.

When will we heed the words of MLK and forgo the Politics of Racial Identity? 

** EVENING UPDATE: Please give the courtesy of listen to this evening's KRLA 870 AM Randy Economy Show at 8 PM, as he interviews Republican Assemblyman Matthew Harper regarding colleague's Roger Hernandez's Act of Intolerance directed at him during a recent committee hearing---Scott Johnson.



A blogging bit of disclosure on this outer wise, beautiful Saturday afternoon, due to a recent allergic reaction, a certain blogger has taken on a physical "Red Neck-like Persona", but contrary to the past rhetoric of lucrative, one percent Charter Educators/Indoctrinators Mr. and Mrs Mark(os) Aguilar-Ferguson, our musings have been, and will continue to be predicated on the beliefs of MLK that we should judge the subjects of our commentary, based upon the content (or lack of, in the case of Mark(os)/Minnie) their respective character ......., and not skin color.

That said, the sad reality is that Racial Identity Politics is striving in the wake of the vile, Charleston, South Carolina Church Massacre and the misguided, generalizations of Mexican Illegal Aliens by Billionaire Developer and current Republican Presidential Candidate Donald Trump. 

There was once a time when a evil act of terror or the utterances of a ego-driven persona, were kept within the focus of the actual event (ie. lets not make it more than what it is), but in the "Age of the Selfie", our inner-narcissist cravings (especially among the political class), prompt many of us to become part of the act ........, which removes the victims (and the facts) from their needed focus of attention.

In the wake of the vile murders of nine Americans (of African Descent) by a solitary, deranged young man in Charleston, South Carolina, what was a remarkable, empowering moment of faith-driven, show of character by the families of the victims, was turned into an intolerant spectacle (with attached political opportunism) of historical recrimination as the practitioners of Racial Identity Politics sought to cleanse from the cultural landscape, "hijacked symbols of hatred", that were a byproduct of a tragic American bloodletting ......, that later led to a forgotten time of national reconciliation.

Locally, Congresswoman Janice Hahn, who just so happens to be running to become the second member of the Hahn Political Family, elected to the LA County Board of Supervisors, is inserting her "Selfie" into the post Charleston recrimination efforts, by calling upon the Wilmington area, Fort Drum Civil War Museum, to remove for sale, all Confederate Flags (which achieved the desired goal of garnering press ...., and blog coverage).

But unfortunately for Congresswoman Hahn, her "Selfie Moment" was usurped by the local visit yesterday of "Mr. UberSelfie", supposed Republican Presidential Candidate (** who has given The Clintons mucho dinero) Donald Trump.

Trump, who espoused his own factually-challenged brand of Racial Identity Politics, by his recent generalization of Mexican Illegal Aliens, was given some inconvenient validation, via the San Francisco Murder of Kate Steinle, that repeatedly-deported (and Sanctuary City-protected) Illegal Aliens do kill.

Its was also an inconvenient truth to the Los Angeles Racial Identity Politics Supporters of LA's Sanctuary City policies, that high-school student Jamiel Shaw Jr. became a victim of Illegal Alien Gang Member Pedro Espinosa in 2008, igniting a debate over LAPD's Special Order 40 and its cooperation with ICE. Jamiel Shaw Sr. has come out in support of Donald Trump on the issue of Illegal Immigration and is schedule to introduce Trump today, at a rally in Phoenix, Arizona.

Yet, back in California, Sacramento politicos, led by "State Senate President Pro Tem Kevin De Leon the First" orchestrated a "Selfie Moment" of recrimination against Trump (and Senator Ted Cruz), by announcing legislation that would disinvest California from any Trump-owned fiscal entity.

......., meanwhile another victim of a Illegal Alien Murderer, and the inconvenient facts of a fail Sanctuary City Policy, become mere footnotes as the divisive rhetoric of Racial Identity Politics continues on across the choreographed, selfie, cybersphere.

** Evening Update: Jamiel Shaw Sr. and sister Althea are part of Presidential Candidate Donald Trump's Press Conference with families of people killed by Illegal Aliens.

Allred, Trump Jump Shark; the Real October Surprise

Two of the biggest media whores in America both teased "October surprises" with speculation about damaging, game changing information about Barack Obama and Mitt Romney, respectively.

Democratic, ambulance chasing, attorney Gloria Allred teased that she had some potentially damaging information about Mitt Romney. The media circus that developed around Allred's mission was very much aware of the game changing bombshell Allred dropped in the run-up to the California Gubernatorial election in 2010, in which "Super Glo" brought forward the alleged illegal alien, former maid of Republican nominee, Meg Whitman, who claimed that the former PayPal CEO had unceremoniously fired the maid prior to her campaign, leading the worker to have "tares on her face."

Republican, bad hair, loudmouth, serially married developer, Donald Trump, who previously had attempted to prove that President Obama was not born in the United States and thus ineligible to serve, also promised "an announcement" that could damage the President and harm his chances at re-election.

The showdown for both was set for early Wednesday morning; in a court hearing in Boston with Allred and a YouTube announcement released by Trump just moments ago.

Both have apparently resounded with a major thud.

As we currently understand it, Allred's "allegations" revolve around the 1990s divorce of Staples founder, Tom Stemberg. Romney's company, Bain Capital, was a major investor in Staples and Romney served on the company's board of directors for some time. According to reports, Romney testified in the case as to the value of Staples stock, apparently an issue of contention between Stemberg and his wife. Allred would like the testimony of the divorce case unsealed and a gag order imposed, lifted. During a hearing in Boston Wednesday morning, attorneys for Romney asked for time to review Allred's submission but noted that Romney has no problem with releasing the testimony. The Governor's attorneys also asked that the case only be held over for one day as they wish to submit their response fairly quickly.

Over in Manhattan, Trump's "bombshell" wasn't even a revelation. The real estate tycoon and reality TV star, in his YouTube video, offered the President a deal - if Obama unseals his sealed college records, Trump will donate $5 million to the charity of the Democrat's choice.

While all of this Matt Drudge - TMZ inspired trash swirls around, the REAL October Surprise, the "what did the President know and when did he know it moment" was revealed in a series of emails surrounding the attack on the US consulate in Benghazi, Libya. According to CNN, two hours after first being notified of an attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, a government e-mail to the White House, the State Department and the FBI said an Islamist group had claimed credit. This obviously does not square with the story given by the Obama Administration as to the nature and cause of the violent attack on US Ambassador Chris Stevens and others.

Stay tuned and don't listen to old media whores with bad hair.

Mayor Sam's Hotsheet for Thursday

ABC News reports that high profile Democratic donors are jumping off the Barack Obama ship and throwing their support to John McCain.  According to ABC, "More than 85 of Clinton's fundraisers, including Donald Trump, Univision chief executive Joseph Uva, cable mogul Charles Dolan, philanthropist Norma Hess and one of Florida's biggest lobbyists appear to be skipping Barack Obama when it comes to writing checks."  The most recent prominent Clinton supporter to jump ship is Alma Sanford, the chair of the Tennessee Democratic Women’s Political Action Committee.


Our favorite former ex-motorocycle cop and nominal Republican Dennis Zine has found folks even more anti-paparazzi than he himself - in the Ciry of Malibu.  On October 2nd Zine will take his traveling roads show to the Malibu Performing Arts Center where he will, as the Malibu Surfside News says, make the case that "the First Amendment shouldn’t stand in the way of one of the best publicity vehicles that a politician in a world entertainment center could have, even if there aren’t many celebrities in their own district."

I'm throwing my support behind Bernard Parks for County Supervisor.  I have my issues with Bernie but he's one of the few local pols who comes as close to "getting it" when it comes to business and jobs - despite lapses such as voting for Jan Perry's goofy fast food ban.  Doug McIntyre writes in the Daily News Wednesday that Parks' opponent, Senator Mark Ridley-Thomas, has the "stench of whoredom dripping" from him when it comes to the millions of dollars spent by public employee unions to elect Ridley-Thomas.  Unions who will expect Ridley-Thomas to "service them" when he gets into office. 

From the history vaults: Speaking of Ridley-Thomas, here's something that shows that he's been a race-card
player since even before Johnnie Cochran.  At a 1991 LA City Council Meeting, during a debate that eventually led to the appointment of Willie Williams as Chief of Police, now deceased former Councilman Ernani Bernardi remarked to Ridley-Thomas "Wait a minute will you Curly?"  Ridley-Thomas was certain that was a racist comment however friends of the musician turned Councilman - who was 79 years old at the time - said that Bernardi called every young person "Curly," irrespective of race.

Donald Trump Moves from Clinton to McCain

Appearing on Larry King Live Wednesday night, New York billionaire Donald Trump who had been a Hillary Clinton supporter, announced he was endorsing the McCain-Palin ticket.

Trump expressed concerns about Obama's tax plan particulaly in light of the current economy and Wall Street meltdown.
