Gavin Newsom, Rob Bonta, and Democrat Socialists Party Los Angeles City Council Members seek to dismember Single Family Suburbs.

November 17, 2024

SUBMIT A WRITTEN COMMENT TODAY TO PRESERVE SINGLE FAMILY NEIGHBORHOODS!

The City Council's Planning and Land Use Committee (P LUM) will consider the ordinances designed to implement the Housing Element at its meeting Nov. 19, 1:00 pm at City Hall (in-person testimony only).

See item 2 -Council file 21-1230-S5. (There are additional agenda Items 3, 4, and 10) to be heard related to the Housing Element but the CHIP program is covered under Item 2 /Council File 21-1230-S5.)

We strongly encourage community members to submit written comments to the Council File for PLUM's Consideration.  

Support Draft #3 of the Housing Element CHIP program that preserves R1 communities, and OPPOSE Exhibit D options to upzone R1 neighborhoods.

There will be heavy lobbying by Abundant Housing supporters and related organizations to ELIMINATE single family neighborhoods citywide via the Housing Element.  

We must lobby the PLUM Committee and submit comments to support DRAFT VERSION # 3 of the Housing Element / CHIP Ordinance which preserves R1 SINGLE FAMILY ZONING -- without adoption of the Exhibit D options included in the Planning Dept. report.

The CHIP program (DRAFT VERSION 3) as approved by the City Planning Commission includes language that preserves R1 SINGLE FAMILY zoning. We support adoption of the City Planning Commission action taken which did not include Exhibit D options.

Exhibit D presents different OPTIONS to upzone R1 neighborhoods citywide at increasing levels of density. We request and suggest that Exhibit D NOT be considered for adoption by PLUM or the City Council. There are many reasons why it is inappropriate and bad public policy to upzone R1 properties via the Housing Element. (Detailed additional information is attached fyi.)  

Comments are to be submitted to the Council File 21-1230-S5. 

You may also wish to copy your comment and email it directly to the email of the PLUM Committee members:

Chair John Lee - councilmember.lee@lacity.org

CM Kevin DeLeon -councilmember.deleon@lacity.org

WHY YOUR VOICE AND WRITTEN INPUT IS CRITICALLY IMPORTANT - Hearing Tuesday

There has been a great deal of misleading information about zoning and efforts to link LA's housing and homelessness challenges to the existence of R1 neighborhoods. The public has been incorrectly led to believe that adequate housing fails to be built because of the amount of R1 zoned land in LA -- often quoted at 70+% of LA's land. Note that it is not 70+% of ALL land, it is 70+% of all RESIDENTIALLY zoned land.  

Most importantly, what that figure also fails to acknowledge is that a large portion of that R1 zoned land CANNOT be developed for more dense uses. It is the land in the high fire severity zones of the SM Mountains and other ranges and high fire severity zones throughout the City. It includes the land in the high tide zones at the coast and areas adjacent to sensitive biological resources. 

The City quietly acknowledges that 35% of R1 zoned land cannot be developed for higher uses -- which means that less than 45% of LA's developable residential land is zoned R1. That is a very different picture from a reference nearing 3/4 of all land as reported in the media. And, it is hoped that all agree that it is bad policy to seek to increase density where public safety is placed at risk.

The City has clearly demonstrated that it can meet and exceed the housing goals assigned to it by the State in the current Regional Housing needs Assessment (RHNA ) planning cycle withoutupzoning single family neighborhoods.

The City Planning Commission adopted the Planning Dept's recommendations to approve the Housing Element CHIP program draft #3 which preserves R1 neighborhoods without upzoning. However, Exhibit D remains in the PLUM packet and housing advocates continue to lobby for it and the upzoning of R1 areas.

If in the future, the City were to need to add new zoning capacity and desired to make zoning changes to R1 areas, that effort would be more appropriately done via the Community Planning process with transparency and public participation to identify the best places for such upzoning where infrastructure can best meet the needs of a growing population and negative impacts reduced or eliminated.

Blanket upzoning via the Housing Element would allow for developers and speculators to cherry pick any R1 property for multi-family construction without regard to adjacent homes, neighborhood integrity, infrastructure availability, etc. This would essentially permit developers to become our City's planners based upon their incentive to generate profit -- not to plan for sustainable, livable communities.  

The City cannot abandon its duty to plan for a livable Los Angeles for all Angelenos -- families, the young and old. Its responsibility is to oversee thriving, balanced communities -- not merely to incentivize the construction of housing units. 

ADDITIONAL INFO (perhaps more than one might ever want) is attached for your info.

WRITE NOW:

Submit your comment in support of the Housing Element CHIP Draft #3 that preserves R1 neighborhoods and prohibits the upzoning options presented in Exhibit D. Oppose Exhibit D. Support CHIP Draft # 3

2024 Presidential Prediction.

I waited until 8:57 pm Eastern to release my prediction. As a Trump Supporter, I have had a fear that Trump wins the Popular Vote by 1 to 2%, but barely loses the Electoral College Vote.

Trump did not take credit for the low mortgage interest rates during his Presidency that helped Americans survive the Biden Economy.

Seeing Kamala Harris promise to fix inflation caused by Biden Presidency giveaways, by promising more inflation causing Government giveaways if she is elected, makes DailyPUMA wonder why there were no Trump commercials from Homeowners who have benefited from the Trump era low mortgage interest rates.

Here's a quote that would have been the truth..."I survived the Biden inflationary economy because of the 500 dollar monthly mortgage refinance reduction during the Trump Presidency". 

Or, "Donald Trump's low mortgage rates saved me more money every month than any future alleged tax cut Kamala Harris is promising."

Or..."I used a low interest Home Equity Line of Credit during the Trump economy to pay off my credit cards and am grateful I did now that Credit Card Interest rates are the highest they have ever been".

Instead, all I see are Harris commercials of Trump chumming around with wealthy people and then lying and saying Trump won't help the middle class, when Trump did help the middle class with low Mortgage and HELOC interest rates, and low inflation.

Monday, Nov. 4, 2024, 2:40am update. The same Suburban women who are not voting for Trump, are the same Suburban women who benefited from low mortgage re-finance rates during the Trump administration, Trump Ads should have reminded them of just how they got through the Biden years.

Donald Trump should offer a Government Swamp Whistleblower Program to Actual Swamp Dwellers if Trump is elected President.

Donald Trump has just cause to go after the Lawfare he was subjected to. However, the image the Progressive Party has falsely painted is Trump rounding every one up who participated in Lawfare and leaking to the Press for their own financial gain. 

I wish Donald Trump had offered some type of leniency program to anyone from the Swamp that came forward with evidence of wrong doing during the campaign, as a way to quell the anti Trump swamp squeal we have all been subjected to for the past 8 years.

The audacity to continue to attack Trump after all he has been subjected to tends to make DailyPUMA believe there is a there, there regarding illegal, insurrection activity against Donald Trump.

If Trump is elected and no one comes forward in exchange for whistleblower leniency, maybe there were no indictable crimes, if people come forward, then the nation can have clarity and focus going forward.

Next Door dot com slips under the radar and may help Kamala Harris win the 2024 Presidency.

Next Door Dot com seems to be on a mission to quash Trump Supporters, and perhaps what is worse, quash Neighbors from posting videos anonymously when they see dangerous people in their community doing dangerous things.

The Mainstream Media is holding out and refusing to cover stories on U.S. Gang infiltration directly caused by Biden / Harris Undocumented policies over the past 3 and 3/4 years. 

Next Door dot com insidiously requires each neighborhood member post their own real name ID when posting videos of dangerous people doing dangerous things in their own Next Door dot com community.

Many local news stories nascently begin as Next Door dot com videos. However, if there are a group of individuals who belong to known cartels occupying one apartment among a hundred apartments, Next Door dot com will not allow any videos to be posted anonymously about possible illegal behavior, unless the Next Door dot com member posts their first name and last name's first letter initial. More than enough information for those who break the law to track down their neighbor who posted a video about their activity.

I have twice been deactivated by Next Door dot com after being intentionally blindsided with 3 alleged violations all at the same time, while Next Door only allowed enough space to respond to one of the 3 simultaneously concocted violations. Each time a suspended member is allowed back on the Next Door platform, they must agree they violated rules, and each ensuing suspension is for a longer period of time, with a warning that eventually, the suspension will be permanent.

One of my alleged violations was for running a Pro Trump group as a group, which is ALLOWED according to Next Door rules. I had the violation overturned Next Door Support, only to be reversed by a mysterious person, perhaps a higher up at Next Door?

Yes, I hope Trump wins, and I hope the Trump administrations offers a method so those of us who have been suspended without justifiable cause, can report and have our cases investigated.

Kamala Harris "Snatch a Patent" Nov. 22, 2019 comment about Big Pharma, misses a much bigger issue.

Early on during COVID, Donald Trump was roasted over his Ivermectin comments. The irony of the attack against Trump; which may have been orchestrated by Big Pharma, by way of the late night Talk Show Hosts, is WHY Big Pharma may have initiated the attack against Trump mentioning Ivermectin.

Kamala talks tough about Big Pharma and "Snatch a Patent" 

https://www.c-span.org/video/?c5128536/user-clip-rd-patents

Kamala talks tough about Big Pharma and "Snatch a Patent" 

 The sad reality is no matter what drug Big Pharma creates, the Patent life is very short. Once the Patent ends, other manufactures can make generics, shutting out the Big Pharma company from their own invention.

The reason shutting out Big Pharma when their patent ends is bad, Big Pharma has to then compete with their own drug inventions! It's patently unfair (yes, pun intended).

I have suggested for years that when a Big Pharma patent ends, the company that that invented the patent would get a 1 dollar per prescription residual on every generic that comes from a Big Pharma Company invention.

The 1 dollar per generic prescription solution would allow Big Pharma to have residual income that is not based on constantly having to come up with new drugs that they then force down the consumer's throat, literally.

Take a moment and watch this 2 minute Aesop's Fable about the Lion and the Mouse. Yes, the Lion is Big Pharma, and the Mouse is Kamala, or us. The point being, even a Big Pharma lion, needs a helping hand.


Kamala's longer speech mentions the right to Snatch the Patent is because the Government helps fund the researdh. This is an oversimplification on many levels. Plus, if the drug is successful, the Government is rewarded through taxing the profits.

The Strange case of Joe Biden's fluctuating pre-Dementia/Dementia, explained by a Caregiver whose Mother had Dementia, aka, my Mother.

Just as COVID pitted pro vax factions against anti vax factions, with both sides feeling their position was 100% correct, and the opposing viewpoint was 100% wrong, welcome to Joe Biden's Fluctuating pre-Dementia/Dementia, explained here, on DailyPuma, for the first time, anywhere on the planet.

When Joe Biden speaks in an amplified venue, several fortunate things occur. Amplification in a venue creates echo, the echo creates a delay as to how many words can be spoken per minute. The echo also has a soothing effect for those with pre-Dementia/Dementia as it mimics the act of singing and hearing the songs in one's head. This explains how Biden can appear in command and on point, when he is in an amplified venue.

When Biden debated Trump, there were assertions made that Biden may have been sick. Sickness will definitely affect the cognitive condition of a person with Dementia, or, pre-dementia. Undiagnosed urinary tract infections have probably led to unknown number of functioning Seniors being diagnosed by non Geriatric Doctors as time for institutionalization of some kind. Additionally, there was no amplification, leading to a somewhat disastrous performance.

The U.S. presently has around 3,500 practicing Geriatricians when the absolute minimum to provide every senior with reasonable access to a Geriatrician would between 50,000 to 60,000 practicing Geriatricians.

So throughout the rest of the 2024 campaign, you may see two Joe Biden's, the Biden that stumbles when his voice is not amplified and echoed at the same time, and the more dynamic Joe Biden who interacts with his own amplifed, echoed voice, and seems relatively normal. 

This is my Mother when she had what I believe was cognitive/learning Dementia. Meaning she remembered what she knew, but being able to speak what she knew, in a correct sequence became more difficult if she was not singing it. 

 

Mom was also tapping her hands as she sang a song she remembered from her childhood 70 years earlier. When the song ended, she began using visual cues and repeating my questions to keep the conversation going, at the end, she looks at the paper she is holding thinking she lost something, and wants to go find it. 

I'm not implying Mr. Biden is in this condition; just that the brain, even if Dementia is present, can still work fantastically well when the brain is remembering certain events. My Mother's Dementia was most likely much farther along than Mr. Biden's pre-dementia/Dementia, yet Mom; would still have concern over my well being. Mom developed a saying I had previously never heard her say, "Adagio Viajo", which means slow down your trip, when she saw me rushing around, multi-tasking.

Speculation about the root cause of the Dali Cargo Ship, Francis Scott Key Bridge Collision and Collapse.

The overhead recreation of the Dali Cargo Ship movement prior to hitting the Francis Scott Key Bridge reveals something that Daily Puma finds disturbing. At no point was the cargo ship trajectory perfectly aligned to go center straight through the Francis Scot Key Bridge underpass opening.

About 8 minutes before colliding with the Francis Scot Key Bridge the Dali Cargo Ship was headed off angle to the Underpass they were supposed to safely pass under. This is a game changer in evaluating what went wrong. 

Rather than the power failure causing the collision, DailyPuma speculates it was the  attempt to reverse engines that caused the power failure. 

Now the why, Why was the Dali Cargo Ship following a trajectory that was off center to passing through the center of the underpass? 

Just speculating, but will it turn out to be the crew was enjoying the coastline view, texting someone, distracted by some type of social media activity?

Cargo ships can weigh as much as 440,000 million pounds, DailyPuma cannot fathom why a cargo ship that weighs millions of pounds, perhaps hundreds of millions of pounds, would not want to be center aligned with the underpass well before reaching the bridge.

Pelosi and FBI appear to have teamed up against Donald Trump during Trump's Presidency, making Watergate look like a 4pm Tea Party Social.

Pelosi Impeaching Trump Violates Trump's Doctrine of Prior Restraint rights to investigate Ukraine. FBI sits on Biden documents investigation during Trump's entire Presidency, then charges Trump with same offense with Biden in Office. 

Makes Watergate look like a 4pm Tea social.

Obama's Foreclosure Policy Failure Reviewed. Rather than offer Restitution to millions of foreclosure victims, Obamians go after Trump in Court.

Obama's failed foreclosure policies need to be re-exposed now that the decision has been made by Obamians to obfuscate Obama's failed foreclosure policy by suing Trump for over 400 million for the loans Trump navigated during Obama's failed foreclosure policies. Obama's first term in office feature 4  years of 5,000 foreclosures A DAY! Obama's foreclosure policies were so restrictive that either 5,000 consumers faced foreclosure everyday, or they tried to create favorable loan terms which apparently was against the law. So for many, it was either be foreclosed upon, or "break the law" trying to get a fair loan.  wow.

500 million dollar judgement total against Donald Trump covers up Barack Obama era Failed Banking Policies that were causing 5,000 to 7,000 home foreclosures a day.

In a Parallel "Back to the Future" Universe, If Donald Trump and Barack Obama had switched order regarding when they were President, the same New York Attorney General who just sued Trump and "won" over 400 million dollars would instead be suing on behalf of all the business and real estate loan applicants that were charged much too high interest rates on their loans during the Trump era Presidency of 2008 to 2012.

Back to reality, if Donald Trump was able to get more favorable loan deals by allegedly supplying inaccurate loan related data, but still did not default on Obama era loans when Bank rules were changed and made entirely too strict and regressive; then that would mean Obama era banks were charging excessively high interest rates to all their "honest" loan applicants that were all the victims of Barack Obama era regressive bank loan policies after the Stock Market Crash of 2008.

Given a choice between helping all the honest business and real estate loan applicants who were either charged excessively high interest rates, and who were damaged when their loan applications were denied, the present day New York District Attorney instead chose to use the courts for Political gain. The New York Attorney has chosen to satiate their Trump Derangement Syndrome even though Trump never defaulted on a loan.

Meanwhile, all the victims of overly regressive banking policies from the Obama era Presidency were never made whole by the New York Attorney General, who instead went for the Trump sizzle rather than making whole deprived and damaged loan applicants, and that is the real crime.

The problem is it has been almost 15 years since the Obama era banking rules were implemented. Many seem to have forgotten the 5,000 to 7,000 foreclosures a day in the U.S. during Obama's first 2 years in office and how honest, law abiding loan applicants who had built up home equity that took decades to accrue, were treated like garbage if they were temporarily unemployed. Untold numbers were forced to sell their homes when being able to dip into some Home Equity, even if unemployed, would have softened the financial jolt they were suddenly feeling that instead led to the loss of their home.

Collusion between Nancy Pelosi and the FBI during Trump's Presidency MUST be immediately investigated.

The recent FBI Biden Document Hoarding report opens a new Discovery clock to investigate collusion between FBI and Nancy Pelosi to unlawfully protect Joe Biden prior to the 2020 Election, while also undermining Trump's Presidential Authority to investigate Ukraine. 

An investigation into Pelosi / FBI collusion would supercede charges Trump is facing since Trump was under illegal duress during his Presidency, and had the right to do whatever was necessary to fight back against illegal actions that directly undermined and quashed his Presidential authority. 

The Trump sound bites we hear all the time are missing the Pelosi / FBI collusion aspect. When Trump says, "I had the right to do whatever was necessary" (aka total immunity), it rings flat. BUT, when we add Pelosi and FBI collusion to Trump's statement, "I had the right to do whatever was necessary because of collusion by Pelosi and the FBI that undermined and quashed my Presidential Authority", Trump sounds completely logical and correct.

Did the FBI and Nancy Pelosi collude against Donald Trump during Trump's Presidency?

Way back in high school my social studies teacher drilled into our heads that a President can be impeached without being removed from office. So yes, Donald Trump was impeached by Nancy Pelosi, twice. 
It also appears Pelosi's Ukraine impeachment violated the Doctrine of Prior Restraint. 
The Doctrine of Prior Restraint precludes a political figure from interfering with an investigation and from suppressing the results of the investigation.
Recent Discovery that the FBI was not going to indict Joe Biden for classified documents points to a conspiracy between Nancy Pelosi and the FBI during Trump's Presidency so Joe Biden's potential illegal acts would be covered up, potential illegal acts that would have been used against Biden during the 2020 Presidential Campaign.
The FBI and Nancy Pelosi should be investigated for colluding to shield Joe Biden's indictable actions while simultaneously shredding Donald Trump's reputation when Nancy Pelosi violated the Doctrine of Prior Restraint against Donald Trump.

Online Newpapers tottering as they double down on forcing viewers to subscribe or be denied access.

Some do a lot of internet research, a LOT of internet research. Some do so much internet research that sometimes it becomes difficult to find a past reference article, then happily remember the link has already been encapsulated somewhere in a prior article one wrote and the difficult to find old link can be reaccessed through one's own prior writings.

Tonight I was thwarted 3 times by newspaper paywalls to news sites that used to provide access for "free". Wanting to identify different newspaper related issues that need to be addressed sooner rather than later as the recent crumbling of the LA Times proves, has probably sent some shock waves to other news sites that are tying to financially survive.

First point, COOKIES SUCK. Cookies slow down one's computer and basically defeat their purpose for existing. It's time for the alleged marketing brainiacs to focus on solid ads and FORGET ABOUT studying every move every human makes while on the internet. 

Think of the Star Trek Prime Directive for a moment, do not interfere with the everyday life of the species being studied. The same rule should apply to the Internet. You don't know why I am looking up the word "brassica", so, quit trying to figure it out. Why does this matter? If all the cookies were not stuffed down out computer's throats, causing our computers to run deathly slow, people would find it easier to search out what they wanted, without having it shoved in their face via prying nanny cookies watching us 24/7 so reams of data can be used to force feed us what they think we want based on our prior internet travel.

Newsflash, sometimes people do searches to help out a friend or relative with information they might find valuable, rendering nanny cookies following our every move a waste of time.

As for newspapers, they don't need to try and target every readers "visit" with the "right" ad scheme. Newspapers also don't need to trick their readers with 1 dollar for 3 months ads that simply piss off the subscriber, who has no intention of paying 5 dollars a week once the special offer is over but becomes subscription ambushed into a much higher subscription rate because they forgot the low offer trial offer had expired.

According to Pew Research center, Newspaper Advertising peaked in 2006.

2006  49,275,402,572 Billion advertising, 10,548,344,000 Circulation revenue.

2022   9,760,830,024 Billion advertising,  11,606,129,049 Circulation revenue.

In 2022 newspaper advertising revenue had dropped by a factor of 5 times its highest level while Circulation Revenue has remained remarkably stable, so it's not all bad news. The peak advertising dollars I think was also the peak of color printed ads, which had its own production and distribution cost issues contributing to the peak advertising year of 2006.

While I do think there are solutions for stabilizing and improving newspaper income, what is the point when the mainstream media started a massive downward spiral in 2008 with an incredibly ham fisted intervention into the Hillary Clinton / Barack Obama Democrat Nomination race.

The mainstream media's hamfistedness was further hampered when the Obama Administration ended the Moderate think tank around 2013. The mainstream media's remarkably slanted news coverage included a 94% negative reporting of Donald Trump during his first Presidency in 2016, and has continued to this day.

The problem with letting the mainstream media die is, no matter how one sided the news reporting was, the reporters and articles still allow for historically relevant information to be used for research purposes. 

My solution for newspaper stability is for each newspaper to start printing two versions of the same story, one slanted towards Progressives, the other towards Conservatives. While ideally the news should provide both viewpoints within the same article, that can make the articles very lengthy and bland to read. Rather, a Solid Progressive viewpoint, a Solid conservative viewpoint, perhaps side by side on the same screen, perhaps a red blue tab button that allows the reader to instantly review either news perspective. This should allow readers to venture out of their Ground Hogs day desire to repetitively always go to the same sided view of the news.

I am an Internet Researching Unicorn with 23 years experience as an unpaid internet researcher. I have never been put in a situation where I was forced to slant my coverage or risk losing my job, nor was I hobnobbing in a work environment where everyone was instructed, acted and had similar viewpoints. 

Today, I can read practically any biased news story and immediately see what is being left out. News sources have gone so far left and so far right that the old practice of manipulating a news story with a mismatched headlines that doesn't match the story content has dramatically decreased over the past few years.

I have offered an instant solution above that would create balanced news reporting by offering a red and blue clickable button so each newspaper could cover both perspectives on Politically driven content.

And here is an idea to improve residual advertising income. Just create a text box that allows the reader to type in something they are interested in buying, they are transported to a known and trusted partner site, and if they buy the item, the newspaper gets a 5% residual. 

As it stands now, newspapers are beholden to Coders and Marketers who try and match ad content with each reader's interest. The Coders and Marketers have made themselves indispensable at the expense of their client's having readers being bombarded with pop up ads when simply asking the reader to view an ad page they write they would like to visit, would be just as effective, and would cut out the ad people who rely on number of ad image views even when the ad image views slow down the site, are highly repetitive, or are showing products that were already purchased a day or two earlier!

Newspapers should have Amazon dot com, Target, Walmart, Costco, all bidding to be the ad provider for a news site. But there are additional ad revenue streams that I won't reveal at this time but would happily reveal if the newspapers are really serious about preserving their historical relevance, rather than just simply disappearing as if they never existed.

One thing is for sure, forcing the public to pay to read one sided news is like hanging on to a malfunctioning parachute when the emergency cord was there for the picking.

Was Doctrine of Prior Restraint Illegally circumvented by Nancy Pelosi and the House of Representatives to both Impeach and Obstruct Trump from digging for evidence in Ukraine regarding the Biden's?

At best, sketchy evidence was provided by Nancy Pelosi and the House of Representatives that Donald Trump engaged in an illegal activity when he was digging for evidence against Joe Biden in Ukraine. 

It appears Nancy Pelosi and the House of Representatives Illegally exercised Prior Restraint by Impeaching Donald Trump which directly obstructed Donald Trump's right to investigate Ukraine. The Illegal actions by the House may be considered an act of Prior Restraint against a sitting President. 

Prior Restraint against a sitting President may be considered an act of Sedition, Insurrection, or Treason.

If in fact Nancy Pelosi and the House of Representatives are guilty of Prior Restraint against a sitting President, then Trump's impeachment and all additional confrontational actions and charges filed against the President would be null and void. 

Action's taken by Pelosi, the House, friends of Pelosi and House members would be the result of a Fruit of the Poisonous Tree series of obstruction activities Pelosi and the House themselves continuously perpetuated.

Please explain why Pelosi and the House of Representatives should or should not IMMEDIATELY be charged with the ILLEGAL act of Prior Restraint against the President of the United States for the purpose of destabilizing the President, the Presidency, and the United States so Pelosi and the House could install their own person in the White House in the next Election.

The Democrat Party and Mainstream Media Bitch Slapped Hillary Clinton in 2008, and they are about to do it again in 2024 even though she won't be running.

The 2008 Democrat Nomination Race featured 3 Male Candidates, the recently deceased Bill Richardson, John Edwards, and Barack Obama, creating a false flag event regarding the Michigan Primary. Michigan, desperate to be taken seriously due to the then demise of their automotive industry and their struggling economy,  moved up their Primary date into January. Michigan's move into January created an excuse to concoct a reason known as the Michigan Maneuver to freeze Michigan out by not have their Primary delegates be counted until the Democrat Nomination race was already decided.

What was the Michigan Maneuver? Possibly one of the most clever political stunts ever seen, with Hillary Clinton left behind by 3 male Democrat Political Predators as the lone wolf left howling in the wind.

The Michigan Maneuver consisted of Richardson, Edwards and Obama waiting until the final Michigan filing day, late afternoon, to take their names OFF of the Michigan ballot. Hillary Clinton had no idea the three male candidates were removing their names off of the Michigan ballot because they waited in concert until the last day to do so. 

Once the Michigan Primary filing date had passed, Richardson, Edwards, and Obama pilloried Hillary on the campaign trail in their campaign stops in, you guessed it, New Hampshire and Iowa. Hillary Clinton was scape goated by the three male Political amigos. 

The 3 Democrat Male Political candidates were able to incite both New Hampshire and Iowa voters against Michigan's move into January by using their campaign stops to remind New Hampshire and Iowa constituents that the Democrat Presidential candidates would have to dilute the time they could spend in Iowa and New Hampshire, because they would have to also campaign in Michigan.

What made the Michigan Maneuver such an incredible coup was not only did it damage Hillary Clinton in both New Hampshire and Iowa, but the ruckus the 3 Male Democrat Politicians created resulted in Michigan's Primary results being set aside to be dealt with at a later date. This from the party that CONSTANTLY champions women's rights.

While some claim Barack Obama might have done well in Michigan if he had kept his name on the ballot, Hillary Clinton's overall strength was her name recognition which was most effective in you guessed it, the Primary State contests versus the Caucus Primary State contests. Hillary Clinton's popularity dropped down several notches right out of the gate in Iowa, and New Hampshire because of the Michigan Maneuver. Without Hillary Clinton's New Hampshire comeback tears saving the day, the mainstream media would have already pounced and demanded she get out of the 2008 Democrat Race after only 2 Democrat contests had been held!

So while Hillary Clinton campaigned and easily won in Michigan, the victory would prove pointless as the delegates were not counted until so late in the Democrat Nomination Race that they became inconsequential. Richardson, Edwards and Obama had their cake, and ate it too, when they profited by not only embellishing their success in Iowa and New Hampshire at Hillary Clinton's expense, but the added insult of not even allowing Michigan to count makes it a remarkable moment in Democrat Nomination Races History of the absurd.

Incredibly, Illinois, which was Barack Obama's hometown, had its Primary date moved up from the end of March to the beginning of February. So while Michigan was blunted for moving into January of 2008, Illinois launched Barack Obama by a 2-1 margin of victory over Hillary Clinton by moving its Primary date up from late March to very early February.

Even though Hillary Clinton would go on to win 54% of all the Democrat Primary votes, the mainstream media led by MSNBC's Chris Wallace and Keith Olberman's nightly verbal aggression against Hillary Clinton, trumpeted the February Caucus contest "winning streak" as somehow proving Barack Obama should be declared the winner of the Democrat nomination process by mid February. 

The mainstream media conveniently left out that the red state caucuses were in red states, held at night, and took hours to conduct in the middle of the winter, all conditions that benefited the younger caucus participants over the older caucus participants. The calamitous weather conditions and time required to vote in the Red State caucus contests favored younger voters, who were going more for Barack Obama than Hillary Clinton. In 2008 in the dead of February winter, MSNBC began trumpeting Obama's consecutive caucus winning streak in conservative states as cause for Hillary Clinton to get out of the race. 2008 may have been the year when Fake Election News officially launched.

What also failed to get much attention in 2008 is poll after poll in the caucus contests always showed Hillary Clinton either tied or well ahead of Barack Obama, until the caucus voting happened and Obama would win by a 2 to 1 margin of victory! 

Lol, some things never change, aka, vote totals that don't fairly reflect the will of the people while the mainstream media remains silently complicit.

Fast forward to 2024 and Joe Biden is taking a page out of the Richardson, Edwards, Obama playbook. Biden is going to ignore New Hampshire and Iowa, and declare South Carolina as the first State he will participate in. It's the same type of tactic Richardson, Edwards and Obama orchestrated in 2008 when they just changed the rules to fit their own strengths, and the mainstream media will probably go along with Biden's strategy in 2024, cuz that's what they do.

But here's the creepy part. Biden comes out tactically ahead if he repeats the strategy that Rchardson, Edwards and Obama followed. Biden will get to campaign in South Carolina and no matter how he badly he loses in Iowa and New Hampshire, he will more than make up for it with the added love and support he will receive in South Carolina. And if Biden gets more than a morsel of support in Iowa and New Hampshire, then that will also make him look like the comeback kid because he did not even campaign in either State yet still received overwhelming support, and thus be the only viable candidate. Biden is literally going to be Pee Wee Herman flying over his bicycle handle bars and after crash landing on the ground in New Hampshire and Iowa, will look into the camera and say, I meant to do that as the mainstream media minions all applaud and call it a politically brilliant move.

Meanwhile, the media keeps trying to demean and belittle Donald Trump for not participating in the Republican debates. Trump is too smart and knows any made up or alleged misstep in the Debates and the mainstream media will pumped it up a hundred times in an effort to ever so slightly erode his support so they can create a false momentum meme that Trump is losing support.

And we should not forget Hillary Clinton, who did the right thing in 2008 and campaigned in Michigan but was defeated by a trio of Democrat Male Politicians behaving badly. Now the same formula is being used in 2024 so Joe Biden can recreate the Democrat Nomination process in his own image. Hillary Clinton was ostracized for campaigning in Michigan in 2008, Joe Biden apparently will be a man of conviction for not going to either Iowa or New  Hampshire in 2024. 

But then again, that is how Democrat Politicians win, they pre-create the conditions they need to win by changing rules all have previously agreed to follow.

Progressive News Prejudice against Hispanics in plain view as Biden begins to build Trump's Border Wall.

This might come as a shock to Progressive News Media, but not every Hispanic in America supports Undocumented Migration, nor is every Hispanic in America against a Border Wall. In what appears to be such as an obtuse move it may actually help Joe Biden's popularity, Anti Border groups are condemning Joe Biden for building Trump's Border Wall as the mainstream media keeps pumping up the prejudiced meme that all Hispanics are anti-border wall. 

CBS comically addresses the Border issue Latino's want more aggressive action on Immigration,

but then spends most of the article quoting anti-wall naysayers before FINALLY admitting that...

"
Another recent poll commissioned by the center-right Latino group LIBRE Institute also found that Latino voters broadly back legal immigration pathways and legalizing "Dreamers" — 87% and 82%, respectively. But the same survey found that 65% of 1,000 Latinos surveyed indicated that more needed to be done to control illegal immigration along the southern border. The Immigration Hub-commissioned poll also found 63% of Latino voters support increased border security." end quote.

Fascinating way to tip toe around the issue of an actual Border Wall by calling it "border security", and, that a "center-right" Latino (should it not be Hispanic?) group did the polling.

Maybe it is time to ask Hispanic Americans if they would either support a Border Wall, or support some type of earned amnesty after a Border Wall is first built. If such a Border wall poll were conducted, the numbers supporting a Border Wall among Hispanic Americans would probably higher than the Progressive Media would want to report, so it is doubtful Progressive media would do such a poll, and if a Conservative site does such a poll, the mainstream media can then raise doubt about the polls accuracy.

Over 99,000 Americans die each year because of preventable medical error in the U.S. As more and more Undocumented are let into the U.S., the available medical care most likely becomes more and more diluted for all.

Voter ID Warning by California Attorney General Rob Bonta against Huntington Beach has one Ugly Conclusion.

California Attorney General Rob Bonta wants the world to believe it is a violation of human rights to require a human show Government issued ID when voting. What is perplexing about Mr. Bonta's position is these same humans require Government issued ID to qualifying for any and all available Government Programs.

Is Rob Bonta advocating people not have Government ID so they also cannot have access to, or qualify for, Government Programs? 

Or, is the real issue, and quite an ugly conclusion, that anyone who does not have a Government issued ID but has a physical address can qualify to vote, whether or not they are an actual California / U.S. Citizen?

Terry Francona, Manager of the Cleveland Guardians, gives Cleveland Sportswriters the "It's me, not you" speech for temporariy retiring after the 2023 season.

The couple of times I have heard Terry Francona talk about allegedly retiring, I hear something different than what the Cleveland Media and the Fans are hearing. 

The Cleveland Media and Cleveland fans are hearing, "Terry Francona is retiring, we have to give Mr. Francona the biggest, best send off ever". 

What I hear when Terry Francona speaks about retiring is something entirely different. I hear Terry is so frustrated at his current health situation that if his surgery or surgeries go well, and if he feels good, and if he is bored sitting at home, he's coming back in 2025 to manage an MLB baseball team.

Terry knows it would be unfair to ask for a full year off, so he won't, but if Mr. Francona were given the option to come back to Manage the Guardians in 2025, Mr. Francona would most likely accept that option.

If the Guardians make a Terry Francona tribute statue, they should consider putting it on wheels so it can follow Terry to his next managing gig.

Belgian Judge misinterpts Video of Cyclist hitting little girl, awards damages to "The Watch where I'm Going" cyclist.

As a self proclaimed video forensics expert (who has earned his stripes), I can explain how the judge got their defamation ruling incorrect in the video below.

 

The key is as much in the audio as in the video. The cyclist, coming up from behind, failed to slow down in a safe manner. He seems to be saying "watch out, watch out, watch out" as he approaches. 

Apparently the Judge has ruled in favor of the "Watch where I'm going" Defamation lawsuit filed by the cyclist over being "defamed" by the showing of the video when all he alleges doing is watching out for the welfare of the young child by speeding up from behind and then using his outstretched knee to create a safe space between himself and the child.

One important job for any judge to consider when deciding standing is, was anyone acting illegally, or without good judgment. If the Judge had considered if anyone was acting illegally, or without good judgement, the cyclist's defamation lawsuit would have had no merit for the following reasons...

1.  Cyclist was traveling too fast when coming around a blind turn. What if someone had slipped and fallen across the pathway, his speed would have been too great to control his bicycle in a safe manner.

2.    Upon taking the blnd turn and seeing a common obstacle in the roadway known as people walking in the roadway, Cyclist kept pedaling, actually picking up speed as he approached the obstacle known as people in the road.

3.   Without having enough time to assess the situation as to why there was an obstacle in the roadway, Cyclist used the equivalent of a car horn, his voice, to yell "watch out, watch out, watch out", or as can be referred to as the "Watch where I'm going" Defense.

4.   After violating the safety of the above three conditions, the cyclist zoomed by the obstacle in the road known as a young child, unexpectedly nudging the victim to the ground as a way to ensure no contact was made with his accelerating bicycle and the previously stationary child now falling towards the ground after contact.

5.   The verdict should have been, cyclist failed to maintain a safe speed and control of his bicycle while assessing and navigating roadway pedestrians, and therefore has no right to any form of empathy, right to sue, or compensation.

The Victims should be counter suing....

1.   The child was put in a no win situation when the cyclist yelled out "watch out, watch out, watch out" from behind her where she could not see him approach. 

A.   If she had gone to her right, she would have possibly suffered life long injuries if the front of the bicycle had hit her from behind.                                                 

B.  If she had stayed where she was, she gets knocked to the ground without advance notice of any kind, 

C.  If she had gone to her left, she would have avoided any contact. The child basically had a 1 in 3 chance to avoid contact with someone who she could not see because they were behind her.

2.   The child will forever have a memory of standing still, and suddenly being hit to the ground by a stranger she never saw coming, just a violent hit to the child's upper body that knocked her to the ground.

3.  The Father will forever have a memory of helplessly watching his child be struck, in front of his eyes, as he stood by and filmed it, most likely producing PTSD type memory of the event.

4.  Getting therapy for his PTSD by raising public awareness of the incident, the Father was further damaged and harmed by the defamation lawsuit and the judge now further victimizing the Father by proclaiming his guilty and culpable when  he did not initiate the series of reckless acts that led to the defamation lawsuit.

What should happen,

The judge should recognize there were extenuating circumstances and give the cyclist a choice, be found guilty of reckless handling of a bicycle that resulted in harm to a child and the child's parents, and the public who has viewed the video...

or.....

The Judge should offer the cyclist a choice, either publicly apologize and agree to do a public service announcement cautioning the public that speeding by human obstacles can be dangerous and should be avoided, 
 
or..... 
 
a $10,000 restitution fine and payment to the Family he sued for all legals fees on both sides, for bringing the defamation lawsuit to court.

Ken Burns and Steve Schmidt appear to Gaslight 2020 Election Controversy and Republican Party.

When Poll Watcher's have no standing, the vote counting process becomes compromised. 

When Civil servants are told by their Bosses who also work for the Government to ignore their subpoenas to appear for a deposition, as did the U.S. Postal Union regarding some strange mail in ballot related incidences, the vote counting process becomes compromised. 

When Vote Tabulating Uploaders are given private kiosks to do their Vote Tabulation Uploading while also having the power to unilaterally interpret provisional ballots, the vote counting process becomes compromised. 

When no one will first show HOW votes could be compromised, then show how that compromised vote counting process is prevented from happening, the vote counting process becomes compromised. 

When cameras were legislatively ordered to monitor ballot drop off boxes were either never installed, were not turned on, or were on but not recording, the vote counting process becomes compromised.

 

When Ken Burns and Steve Schmidt wax on about how to "change' The Republican Party for the good of the U.S., without analyzing the above scenarios, they become gaslighting truth changers, not truth seekers, in my opinion.

Hunter Biden's Toking Gun, where will it lead?

At some point, a cost analysis of all the coke Hunter has toked in his adult life needs to be calculated. A cocaine cost calculation. If the dollar amount of all the coke Hunter has toked is in the several millions of dollars, then there would appear to be a toking gun regarding the Biden International Family Business that may have co-mingled Joe Biden's political influence with Hunter Biden's coke addiction, which could then lead to income tax evasion for Hunter Biden.

Total speculation about Hunter Biden's deceased brother, who by Joe Biden and Hunter Biden's accounts seems to have been a stand up guy. Should we go there to see if maybe Hunter's brother was actually sick of what Hunter was doing and had to be permanently shut up, before Hunter goes missing as well? The medical tragedy Hunter's brother may have suffered was probably totally real, I just would like a third party verification, because Joe Biden has shown an affinity regarding lying about a lot of stuff regarding his own achievements.

More speculation, when Joe Biden brings up family tragedies and how hurt he was by them, we only know Joe's version of events, and now I am suspicious. Several of our Past Presidents or their wives have had brushes in which they accidentally caused the death of others, possibly making them compromised Presidential couples and thus preferred Presidential Candidates? To clarify, I am not speculating all the deaths were intentional, just that they make the people involved compromised going forward.

I could not find one article that listed all of the tragic accidents, but besides Laura Bush, Edward Kennedy did not get elected but was directly involved in the death of a young woman while driving her home, possibly drunk. Marilyn Monroe's death may not have been voluntary, Joe Biden was involved in a car accident that killed his wife and one child, and I think the list may go on regarding many of our Presidential Candidates and their wives.

As for Hunter Biden, how many millions of dollars has Hunter Biden spent on Cocaine and how much could Hunter Biden been able to afford based on his annual income tax filings?
