Post 41
Now that the midterm elections are upon us, politicians in the Democratic and Republican parties are out begging for your vote. If you have read any of my recent posts, you know that I have very little respect for our elected officials whether they be Republicans or Democrats. We are living in an era where I believe we have the most corrupt government officials, elected or appointed, perhaps in the history of this country, at every level of government. Folks that is no exaggeration. The focus of this blog is on the corruption of San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo and the San Jose City Council, as well as, the US District Court in San Jose and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. But there is no doubt that corruption is pervasive throughout local, state and federal government.
Neither the Democrats nor the Republicans care about you the American people. They only care about power. Once they get your vote and get elected, you no longer have any value to them until the next election cycle. Just as President Trump said during the 2016 campaign, they are all talk. Take for example Nancy Pelosi. She recently stated that the Democrats would pass an Equality Act to protect LGBT people from discrimination if the Democrats win the majority in the House. This is the same Nancy Pelosi that has refused to respond to my complaint letter that details a criminal cover-up of blatantly racist conduct against me by San Jose city officials and the federal courts. She's not the only elected official that has failed to respond to complaint letters I sent to them. There's Senators Kamala Harris, Dianne Feinstein and Lindsey Graham, Speaker Paul Ryan; House Members Bob Goodlatte, Zoe Lofgren and Adam Schiff.
Then there's former VP Joe Biden. He recently stated that he is sick and tired of the Trump Administration. Well Mr. Biden, I'm sick and tired of Democrats like you, Nancy Pelosi, Diane Feinstein, Kamala Harris, Adam Schiff and Zoe Lofgren calling Donald Trump a racist while doing nothing about the racist and bigoted conduct of San Jose's Democratic mayor Sam Liccardo and the San Jose City Council. Democrats care noting about racism when the guilty ones are Democrats. They use race as a wedge issue to drum up hate for the President and Republicans. The Democrats call the President uncivil and that he has treated the Office of the President with a lack of dignity. They never mention the uncivil, undignified and classless manner in which they acted during the Kavanaugh confirmation hearings.
The Republicans are no better than the Democrats. They acted with such indignation regarding the way Democrats treated Judge Kavanaugh. They whooped and hollered about due process being a bedrock of American jurisprudence; and that the Democrats dubious claim that they believed Dr. Ford without having a single fact or evidence to corroborate her sexual assault allegations against Judge Kavanaugh was contrary to our values as a nation and was a threat to democracy itself. I don't disagree with the Republicans position regarding Dr. Ford's allegations. However, I believe it to be all about politics. They were quick to defend Judge Kavanaugh's right to fair treatment and due process. But will they be so quick to defend the rights of average Americans? I think not.
What you have probably heard from both Democrats and Republicans is that these are the most important midterm elections in our lifetime and that everyone should go out and vote. I don't believe it. No matter what the outcome of the midterm elections, there is unlikely to be much of a change in this country. we will continue to have corrupt government officials at every level of government. Our elected officials in Congress will continue to provide inadequate oversight of our federal bureaucracies and the federal courts. Democracy will continue to be an illusion and not a reality. Democrats will continue to call the President a racist and claim to be champions of civil rights and equality. Republicans will continue to call Democrats resistors and claim to have strong support for the Constitution and the rule of law. Yet when both parties have been presented with indisputable facts and evidence of misconduct by San Jose city officials and the federal courts that runs counter to their principles, they have done absolutely nothing.
What I am trying to say is that both parties are lying to the American people. The only reason each party is so concerned about winning the midterm elections is power. Nothing else matters. Not your rights and not mine. Our national government and many of our state and local governments have no credibility because of public corruption. For this reason on Tuesday November 6, 2018 I will proudly abstain from casting my vote. For more details, read my prior posts and check out my group facebook page at:

Senator Graham's Defense of Due Process is Politically Motivated
Post 40
If you have been following the confirmation process of Judge Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court then you are probably aware of Senator Lindsey Graham's ardent support for Judge Kavanaugh. In an interview on Hannity on 9-27-18, Senator Graham called the confirmation process an "unethical sham." I believe it was on the same show that he said that if this was the new norm, "God help us all." On 10-2-18, in an interview on Fox, Senator Graham referred to the treatment of Judge Kavanaugh as reaching the "bottom." He said that if it is not [the bottom], "God help us all." On 10-3-18, in an interview at the Atlantic Festival, Senator Graham said that Dr. Ford was treated with respect during her testimony in the Senate Judiciary Committee's hearing investigating her sexual assault allegation against Judge Kavanaugh. He said that Judge Kavanaugh was treated like crap. The point I'm trying to make is that Senator Graham, as well as, many other Republicans have been quick to come to the defense of Judge Kavanaugh demanding that he be given "due process" and that he be treated with dignity. Senator Kennedy from Louisiana stated in the Judiciary Committee Hearing on 9-28-18 that this is no country without due process. President Trump weighed in on the issue of due process in a tweet today (10-4-18) tweeting: "This is a very important time in our country. Due process, fairness and commonsense are now on trial!" Judge Kavanaugh himself condemned the confirmation process as a national disgrace and stated that he was asking for a "fair process." I find it to be very interesting that Judge Kavanaugh is asking for a fair process now that he's the one being judged when his colleagues over at the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and the US District Court have refused to respect my rights to due process during two racial and disability discrimination lawsuits I filed against the City of San Jose and during several motions I filed relative to those lawsuits. The most egregious violations of my due process rights include the district court permitting the City and my attorney to dismiss a defendant without my knowledge and authority, without any reason given, after the City and my attorney had argued in papers to the court that the defendant had violated my constitutional rights. The City was then allowed to file a motion for summary judgment that was a total fabrication. Also, the courts' failed to follow well settle law when dismissing by first lawsuit based on the collateral estoppel effect of a small claims judgment against me where there was no litigation or any record whatsoever. District court officials then falsified several court records, staged a sham hearing on a motion I filed after informing me twice that there would be no hearing. After the sham hearing, the court entered a three sentence judgment denying my motion by finding that I failed to present evidence supporting my theories for relief, even though my motion was 23 pages long with over 20 exhibits. The transcript of the purported hearing states my motion was disposed of based on the City's "motion to dismiss" because I did not appear for the hearing, even though, I did not appear because a court official told me twice that I did not have to show up. The word for word account of the City's motion to dismiss was deleted from the transcript. If you think that this was bad, it got even worse. The second lawsuit I filed against the City for racial discrimination (I'm black/African American) was dismissed by the US District Court citing precedent that clearly proves my claim against the City of San Jose. When I appealed the decision to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, the district court's decision was affirmed with a summary disposition. A motion for relief I filed with the district court relative to my second lawsuit was also denied by the district court. It was summarily affirmed by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals without allowing me to file an opening brief. The summary dispositions and the refusal to allow me to file an opening brief are gross violations of Ninth Circuit precedent.
The actions by the US District Court and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals are blatant violations of due process and involves several criminal acts committed with the purpose of obstructing justice, perpetrating fraud on the court, covering up racial and disability discrimination by San Jose city officials, and covering up a case-fixing scheme by federal court officials. Unlike the sexual misconduct allegations against Judge Kavanaugh, my allegations have a mountain of corroborating evidence that is clear and convincing. Let me make it very clear, I don't deserve to be believed. But I do deserve to have my allegations against the courts heard and investigated. I understand that my allegations might seem to be far-fetched. However, if you read some of my earlier posts and details posted on my group facebook page at the link below, I think it will be instantly recognizable that my allegations are true.

However, if you read some of my earlier posts and details posted on my group facebook page at the link below, I think it will be instantly recognizable that my allegations are true.
So that there will be no confusion as to the purpose of this post, it is to call out Senator Graham. Just as I called out two Democratic Senators in my last post on 10-1-18 for refusing to seek an investigation into my allegations based on letters I sent to them, Sentator Graham was sent a letter as well seeking an investigation. I have received no response from Senator Graham. I have no criticism of Senator Graham for defending Judge Kavanaugh's right to due process, even though there is no right to a position on the Supreme Court. My criticism and anger stems from the fact he has not lifted a finger to stand up for my right to due process. Like Senator Graham, I agree that it is a dangerous precedent for a person to be considered guilty until proven innocent, and that a uncorroborated allegation establishes guilt. However, unlike me, Judge Kavanaugh has the power and platform to defend his rights. He also has the President, Republican Members of Congress, and conservative members of the media and the public to stand up for him. I have no one because I have no political value to the Republicans or the Democrats. I have no power to force the City of San Jose or the federal courts to respect my rights which are guaranteed by the Constitution, federal and state statutes, and City policies.
Senator Graham's, as well as, other Republicans' strong defense of due process and other democratic values based on their support for Judge Kavanaugh is politically motivated and not sincere. If Senator Graham was genuinely sincere about protecting due process, he would act swiftly to protect due process in those cases such as mine where there is nothing to gain politically. When Congress allows our judiciary to act without regard for due process and the rule of law without any checks as I described above, the good order of our society is jeopardized. This will be the likely result because of my two cases.
