If Louie wants to go this route we lost one Asian-American and one Black American in one swoop.

We have ZERO Native Americans.

And yes, @GavinNewsom should listen to a corrupt, bribe taking politician like Louie - only because he talks about race.

Gets messier.
2/

Louie and his Monterey County cohorts frosted out the one Black woman running for the Board of Supervisors. How is that for racist as fuck.

One qualified Black woman and zero support.

Zero Native American Senators in the US Senate. DiFi is going to retire and guaranteed that seat goes to a Latina, because it is a good thing to get more representation.

That said Alejo and FBI listed Kevin de León are poor examples of those we should listen to for the
4/

sake of identity politics. Which will always be messy because we live in a racist world.

And then there is Kimbley Craig elected Mayor of Salinas. Let that sink in.

These politicians are all full of it.

Monterey County's District Attorney Jeannine Pacione came out of a corrupt culture within unchecked the MCDA.

Pacione's predecessor's former boss, Bill Curtis, was told to step down and two State investigators came to Monterey County with a two inch file on Curtis.

Bill Curtis was insulated for a time by Edwin Meese, the corrupt US Attorney General for the United States of America.

Curtis was able to keep some cases from investigation because of that cozy relationship.

When a clean CA Attorney General, John Van de Kamp

came in, in 1983, it didn't take him long to see how bad things were in Monterey County.

That is when Van de Kamp sent his men down here to MoCo. They told Bill Curtis the bad news. Step aside or be prosecuted. "tap tap on the two inch file".

A bribe taking Monterey County Supervisor posting about what his buddy, @CSAC_Counties ED #GrahamKnaus, asked @GavinNewsom while in the @CAgovernor office - which of the 296 County Supervisors he should appt. to the US Senate?

Gov. Newsom called Supervisors the doers.

Three Monterey County Supervisors are under criminal investigation by the @FBI, State and Local Police and the @CA_FPPC for wrongdoing:

1. "Judge" John Phillips @PhillipsForSup

2. Chris Lopez @SupervisorLopez

3. Luis Alejo @SupervisorAlejo.

A majority of this board is

under criminal investigation and Luis Alejo is making jokes and pushing his messages to Gov. Newsom as the locals are left to wonder what is wrong with #MontereyCounty government.

This is the absence of leadership.

#PPP program continues to surprise - how many ultra-rich received seemingly special treatment?

Monterey County Bank, whose CEO is very, very good friends with Denny LeVett, got this emergency money for his buddy - Denny.

Cute stuff.

Poor Denny - or rich Denny. His office in Palo Alto, CA.

Felix Cortez literally said on @KSBW last night Gloria de la Rosa would weigh in because she brings 22 years of experience to the table.

* Had an illegal assault weapon she hid under her bed stolen from her house. No charges. No court with flip-flops over socks.

* .@SalinasPD arrested her son selling an illegal handgun to an undercover. Her son advertised the gun sale on his Facebook account "for sale WITH FOOD".

Food = Bullets.

Experience indeed.

Last three city managers for #Salinas?

1. Dave Mora - got into business with

Gerry Kehoe the fraud of Oldtown Salinas who ended up selling nearly all his property to Bruce Taylor.

2. Artie Fields - owned a home in Inglewood where he worked for that city, came to Salinas where the good old boys helped him by a doctors house near cocaine cowboy Mike

How #rigged is the Monterey County Superior Court Bench?

When Judge Kay Kingsley retired, county supervisor Judge John Phillips already had a replacement in mind. Heidi Whilden.

Who ran Whilden's campaign? #Corrupt @RepJimmyPanetta's consultant Plasha Will - and she used the

same people she used for many of her dirt bag operations, including the Sheriff Scott Miller vs. Deputy Bernal 2014 race.

The email regarding Chris Marohn not being paid for John Phillips' help (via his campaign cash) for the "Corrupt Sheriff Miller PAC". Same people.

The Cherry on Top is look at local lawyer Larry Biegel, A FIXER, who represented Mike Hackett during his probation revocation hearing and lied in court filings about Hackett's relationship with Casa Sorrento.

I wonder if Larry shows up to court wearing flip flops over socks?

My grandfathers, their brothers, all saw active duty in a time of war and during other operations. Service helped them pay for medical school, law school, college but that wasn't why they served. They served because they love this country and it didn't come without sacrifice.

My family came to beautiful Monterey County for similar reasons. Community and further service. My grandfather's brother was here at the language school learning Portuguese. He was one of the youngest graduates of Iowa law school and rose to the rank of Colonel.

Their commitment to our Country always inspired me to do more - without fear or favor.

I've always been committed to the health of my home community because of the lessons I learned at the dinner table, or long conversations about the world and elsewhere.

Enjoy #VeteransDay
