CM PRESS # 961

NEW...

FRANK MICKADEIT COLUMN ON THE CRAP 911 CALL AGAINST RIGHEIMER

Easy read that may give you a feel for what happened and what may be going to happen soon.

Folks, we think there's more coming about this and that there are dots just waiting to be connected that even a cub reporter or a new attorney in the DA's office can now see.

Remember Watergate?  A simple break in that led to the fall of a president.

Well, this crap they've been throwing at Righeimer may have a similar effect locally, but it's not going to be Righeimer or the other good Council Members who will fall.

Reporters hungry for stories and Pulitzer Prizes are going to start digging deep.

This is a story with long legs.

JUXTAPOSITION...

TWO STORIES FROM THE DAILY PILOT THAT WILL GIVE DISCERNING READERS A CLUE AS TO WHERE WE'RE GOING WRONG IN COSTA MESA.

In the first story HERE, we read about parents in Newport Beach asking the NMUSD to assign a top quality principal to a local school.  One parent asked that the new principal be familiar with working in an affluent area (read a White area with upwardly mobile competitive parents who work hard to be the best and succeed).

In the second story HERE,  we read about a girl who has opened a free food pantry in Costa Mesa for the less fortunate (read mostly illegal aliens).

Folks, Costa Mesa should be almost as nice as Newport Beach and other affluent communities.  We have to discourage the opening of more skid row types of charities that just act as magnets to draw people here who can't afford to live here unless they get freebies.

This pathological altruism that we see in Costa Mesa is driving down our quality of life and ruining our schools and making Costa Mesa more like Santa Ana and other slum cities.

We need to attract upwardly mobile families to Costa Mesa, not more people who need charity.

SHERLOCK HOLMES THEY'RE NOT!

Folks, be sure to read the comments under THIS Daily Pilot article about the 911 crap call.

Can you believe there are still people who are trying to deny what is plain to see and that some are still indicating that they think Righeimer somehow orchestrated this 911 call?

Thankfully, these dimwitted characters are on the other side. Whew!

Anti-Righeimer sign paid for and
used by some CMPD cops

LET'S SEE--THERE MAY BE A PROBLEM WITHIN THE CMPD INVOLVING THE RIGHEIMER  911 CALL...

So, the CMPD is going to investigate itself?

Will that be like the 405 off-ramp smear investigation of Righeimer that dragged on and on?

Will that be like the stinkeye incident investigation that was swept under the rug?

Will the officers who dragged the hateful anti-Righeimer A-Frame sign around the City help do the investigating?

GOOD COUNCILMEMBERS SHOULD CHECK THEIR CARS FOR HIDDEN GPS TRACKERS

Here's a story about a Costa Mesa cop who used a CMPD tracker to stalk a woman. LINK

How many bad cops do you have to find in a department to realize it may be more than just a few bad apples and that there may be a whole clique of them?

WENDY (AND MANY OF HER FOLLOWERS) ARE FROM VENUS AND THE GOOD COUNCILMEMBERS ARE FROM MARS

The more we observe Wendy Leece and some of her followers, the more convinced we are that, in addition to psychological, ah, problems that some of them have, many of them simply don't seem to have much testosterone (including some of  the "men" who follow her) or perhaps we can say that their inner feminine selves are much larger than their inner masculine selves.

As we wrote in an earlier column, Wendy is big on emotion and empathy and will screw up her face in all sorts of ways showing that she really, really feels the pain or joy of anyone speaking at the podium.

In fact, she even does it with the CM PRESS.  One time, after we had castigated the Council for not buying thousands of dollars worth of products and services locally, we told the Council (tongue in cheek) that we had bought the ballpoint pen in our hand at the 99 Cent store and that we were thus contributing to the economy of Costa Mesa.  

After we said that, Wendy, who had been giving us a serious and attentive look (that said "I'm really listening to and hanging on every word you're saying CM PRESS"), suddenly beamed and shook her head up and down about what a good deed we had done.  Ah, folks, how much profit does Costa Mesa make on a pen? We were joking.

Oftentimes, when women talk to other women, they're not usually looking for answers to whatever it is they're talking about.  They're just looking for a shoulder to cry on or for someone to just tsk, tsk, and "understand" and show facial expressions that mirror their own feelings, and agree with them about whatever problem they're having.

Many men don't understand this characteristically Venusian way of looking at things, and act towards the woman as they would towards another man--in a Martian sort of way--by trying to offer a solution. This will often upset the woman they're talking to, because, remember, they're not looking for solutions. They're just emoting and don't want you to offer solutions. They just want sympathy and agreement.

Unlike Wendy, when the good Councilmembers hear someone bring up a problem, their first reaction isn't to emote with them, but to offer a possible solution.

You see the problem.

Those who want emotion and no solutions, then think the good Councilmembers are too harsh.

I'm convinced that the opposition to the good Councilmembers is coming from Venusians.

SOME OF THE COMMENTERS WHO MAKE FREQUENT NEGATIVE COMMENTS ABOUT THE CHARTER, OR THE GOOD COUNCILMEMBERS, OR THE 3MS (in no particular order):

Terri Fuqua
Mike McNiff
Patrick Rodgers
Tina Wilcox
Greg Ridge
Karin Ahlf
Amy Fox
Kathy Findley
Geoff West

BTW,  Terri Fuqua, Greg Ridge and Karin Ahlf are listed on Democrat and City Council candidate  Harold  Weitzberg's Website as supporters.

You'll see the above names over and over as you read the comments following articles in the Daily Pilot.

There are a few others who often leave negative comments, but they've mostly been silent lately. If they pick up their activity, we'll add them to the list.

Most of the above folks just don't seem to like the good Councilmembers and some seem to reflexively complain about everything the good Councilmembers do.

Consider just one of the above individuals as a case study.

Geoff West

Geoff West  likes to write that he's a Republican and he even claims to be a conservative.
We kid you not.

Would you peg this guy as a Republican or a conservative from his comments?

Maybe West can tell us what Republican and conservative positions he supports, because most Republicans that we know, laugh at his assertion.

So, c'mon West, tell us.

And, West, will you be supporting the 3Ms this year? These are the only genuine Republican conservatives who are running for the City Council.

SEVERAL POLICE UNIONS DENOUNCE NEGOTIATION TACTICS

We've seen some of those tactics used in Costa Mesa and we often hear Wendy Leece mouthing some of them (the below are from the above linked OC REGISTER article):

cast decision-makers as anti-public safety until they fall into line; 

convince residents their safety is at risk; 

and basically hound the city or county officials until they give in. 

The firm also talked about work slowdowns, advising law enforcers to canvass the whole neighborhood for a burglary call.
