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.

Jerry Brown Stumps Hard for Carmen the Clown

Old Buddies

Why anyone would vote for Carmen Trutanich boggles the mind but why any Republican would vote for this shady former tuna packer completely erases the sane mind.

Republicans need to support Allan Jackson - rational minded independents, Democrats, Libertarians, etc. should also back Allan. He's received support ranging from moi to Joseph Mailander to Walter Moore to Ron Kaye (who gave a two-way nod to both Jackson and fellow Deputy DA, Jackie Lacey). Not often do those guys agree.

"Los Angeles County voters need only remember three letters when they cast their ballot for district attorney on June 5: ABC. Anybody But Carmen." - LA Daily News 

Carmen's biggest supporters are Jerry Brown, Antonio Villaraigosa and Phil Jennerjahn.

Hollywood activist John Walsh reports today that he has received robocalls from Jerry Brown on behalf of Trutanich.

Why even Democrats would vote for Carmen when there are perfectly capable progressive choices such as Jackie Lacey or Bobby Grace confuses me as well.

Remember - like the Daily News says "Anybody But Carmen."

Allan Jackson for District Attorney

No, not THAT Alan Jackson.

The race to be Los Angeles County's District Attorney has been an interesting and wild one for sure. Writing at CityWatch, our friend Joseph Mailander accurately calls this race - with Barack Obama and Mitt Romney in no need of California's primary delegates - probably the key race drawing Los Angeles County voters to the polls next Tuesday.

Sorry, Carmen?

Los Angeles Dragnet is reporting rumors that City Attorney Carmen Trutanich is planning to drop his bid for District Attorney.

And this is just as the Nuch Machine was learning how to spin comments on MayorSam.

We do not know if the recent change to our comment policy put an end to the former tuna worker's campaign; most notably it was payback from Jan Perry and reports of disarray in his office. And maybe a little bad karma for leading Zuma Dogg down the primrose path.

The frontrunners for the DA race, to succeed the retiring Steve Cooley, are prosecutors Alan Jackson and Jackie Lacey.

UPDATE: More bad news for Carmen - Jackson announces that he has raised nearly $250K so far for his race.
