This college admissions scam continues to get a lot of attention now that there are court proceedings taking place. I think anybody that watches the news even a little bit knows the basic details behind this scam. A bunch of rich people, many of them celebrities, conspired with this guy named William "Rick" Singer in an alleged scheme to get their kids admitted into top universities. Part of the scheme consisted of rigging college entrance exams, the SAT and ACT, by having an accomplished test taker either take the entrance exams for the kids or correct the answers on their exams. Another part of the scheme consisted of bribing athletic officials at elite universities to fraudulently recruit kids of wealthy parents into their sports programs as top level athletes.
Now that the criminal cases against many of the parents involved in this scandal are being litigated in court, including the cases against actresses Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman, many of the parents have opted to make deals with prosecutors. Huffman is one of the parents that have made a deal after admitting guilt, whereas, Loughlin has not. Loughlin and her husband, fashion designer J. Mossimo Giannulli, are charged with paying Rick Singer $400,000 to get their daughters admitted to USC as top level athletes in one of the recruiting scams uncovered by the F.B.I. Huffman is accused of paying an accomplice of Singer, Mark Riddell, $15,000 to correct her daughter's answers on the SAT. Huffman is also one of the parents involved in this scandal that have expressed remorse and shame for their actions while Loughlin and other parents have not.
It is clear that the allegations against these parents, Rick Singer, and his accomplice Mark Riddell are very serious and deserves the attention they are getting from the F.B.I. and federal prosecutors. It is understandable that parents that follow the rules when it comes to the college admissions process are angry and upset with parents who use their wealth and celebrity status to undermine the college admissions process by cheating as is alleged here. However, we should not lose sight of the fact that wealth and celebrity have always had its privileges. For sure, I believe these parents should be held accountable if they are found to be guilty of the charges alleged in this scam. However, I wonder if this scandal would be getting the same attention from the media if there were no celebrity defendants involved.
What bothers me, however, is that the F.B.I. and the Department of Justice was quick to take action in this cheating scandal involving members of the public, while at the same time ignoring cheating scandals by government officials that undermine our institutions of government. One such cheating scandal I'm referring to is the subject of this blog that I started for the purpose of exposing it to the public. The scandal involve San Jose city officials, my attorney, and officials with the US District Court in San Jose and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. It involves San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo and members of the San Jose City Council, City Attorney Richard Doyle, and several judges and court officials in the US District Court and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. Just as the crimes alleged against Rick Singer, Mark Riddell, and the parents in the college admissions scam, the crimes committed by San Jose city officials, my attorney, and the federal court officials involve fraud, creating false documents, conducting a fake proceeding, misrepresentations, bribery and many other public corruption crimes all relating to cheating and dishonesty. After making several complaints with the F.B.I. and Department of Justice accompanied by indisputable evidence, no investigation or prosecution of these government officials have occurred.
Undermining the college admissions process is serious. But undermining the judicial process is far more egregious because it is a direct attack on an institution of our government. The F.B.I. and federal prosecutors have been aggressive in their pursuit of justice in the college admissions scam while engaging in a massive cover-up of the cheating scandal involving San Jose city officials and officials with the US District Court and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. In the eyes of the F.B.I. and the Department of Justice, all cheating scandals are not equal. Some cheaters, such as the San Jose city officials and officials with the federal courts, get special treatment. Many details of the cheating scandal involving San Jose city officials and the courts can be found in my prior posts. However, post #2 on August 23, 2015 is a must read.

The End To The Mueller Investigation Allows The FBI To Focus On Real Collusion And Obstruction of Justice
Post 50
Now that the investigation into possible Trump-Russia collusion during the past presidential election is over, the FBI should now focus on the investigation of cases of collusion and obstruction of justice by government officials that are not motivated by politics. I'm referring to cases where government officials' conduct is so egregious that it shows a wilful and wanton disregard for the truth and the rule of law. I have presented evidence of such a case to the FBI and the Department of Justice for investigation on several different occasions. No investigation has been initiated. The case I am referring to involves a conspiracy between San Jose city officials, my former attorney, and several federal court officials to obstruct justice during lawsuits I filed against the City of San Jose for racial and disability discrimination. I am black/African American. Many of the details of this case have been discussed in some of my prior posts. See my posts on August 23, 2015 and July 31, 2017. The conduct of the involved officials is so reprehensible that some of the details are worth repeating. During litigation in my lawsuits several felonies were committed by my attorney, attorneys for the City of San Jose and several court officials that include judges. Among the crimes these officials committed were conspiracy to obstruct justice and obstruction of justice, perjury and subornation of perjury, bribery and fraud. Details of some of the crimes they committed include falsifying court records, staging a fake hearing on a motion I filed, fabricating a phony transcript and civil minutes for that hearing and fraudulently dismissing an individual defendant from my lawsuit without my knowledge and authorization. Additionally the district court and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals entered judgments in my lawsuit that violate statutory law and binding precedent. The judgments are clearly void judgments, but the courts refuse to vacate them. What makes this even more sickening is that all of these officials are officers of the court and the purpose of their misconduct was to hide the bigotry and racism of San Jose city officials directed at me.This is all true. But neither the truth nor the law seem to matter in the Ninth Circuit. Officials involved are either current or former high ranking officials in the City of San Jose and the Ninth Circuit. These officials include San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo, former mayor Chuck Reed, San Jose City Attorney Richard Doyle, retired US District Judge Ronald M. Whyte, US Magistrate Judge Nathanael Cousins, retired Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals former Chief Judge Alex Kozinski and current Chief Judge Sidney R. Thomas. This scandal is bigger than the college admissions scandal, the Jussie Smollett scandal, the scandal involving the FBI and DOJ relative to the investigation of the Trump campaign, and the Trump-Russia collusion scandal. It is one of the biggest abuses of power and corruption cases in quite some time.
It is reasonable to say that we now have the weakest, most corrupt and ineffective leaders in Congress in the entire history of our once great nation. They have no courage or integrity when it comes to exercising oversight over the rogue and completely out of control Ninth Circuit, as is mandated by the Constitution. It is true folks. Over the past several years, I have made formal complaints with individual members of Congress and the House and Senate Judiciary Committees against the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and the US District Court in San Jose. I received only one pathetic response from Senator Dianne Feinstein essentially stating that she had no guts to do anything. At least she had the integrity to respond. Other current members of Congress I sent letters to, Senator Lindsey Graham, Senator Kamala Harris, Senator Chuck Grassley, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, and Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren did not extend me the courtesy of a response.
The Democrats are so quick to exercise oversight of President Trump with endless investigations into all aspects of his life without any suspicion of wrongdoing. Yet, they fail to take any action on indisputable facts and evidence I presented to them that officials within the Ninth Circuit conspired with San Jose city officials to commit several felonies during litigation of my lawsuits against the City. By no means do Democrats have the market cornered on weakness and cowardice when it comes to exercising oversight over the Judicial Branch. The Republicans are just as guilty, notwithstanding their phony claim to be so in love with the Constitution and the rule of law.
Don't be fooled. The Democrats and Republicans are more alike than they are different. All of the phony policy differences are just a game. They are all about obtaining and retaining power. They are all elites who have very little respect for the little people like you and me. When it comes to corruption and criminal misconduct in the courts, the Democrats and Republicans are on the same page. It's hands off. And you can take that to the bank. Because Congress has abdicated its oversight responsibility in regards to the federal courts, the Judicial Branch now has hegemony over the Executive and Legislative branches. That is the reason for the brutal fights over judicial appointees, a la Brett Kavanaugh.
At the time I made my complaints with the FBI and DOJ, William Barr was not the Attorney General. It is my hope that Mr. Barr will have the integrity and the courage to focus on the collusion and obstruction of justice that occurred with my case in the Ninth Circuit; and that he will hold these officials accountable for their criminal misconduct that violated the public's trust and caused lasting harm to the judiciary. Clearly, the members of Congress I contacted are engaged in a cover-up. More details on this scandal can be found at:

Democrats Are Reaping What They Sowed - The Political Catastrophe In Virginia
Post 49
It seems like a decade ago that the scandals involving Virginia's top elected officials created a media firestorm. First there was the photo of a person dressed up in a KKK outfit and a person wearing blackface on Governor Ralph Northam's medical school yearbook page. Then you had Attorney General Mark Herring admitting that he had worn blackface in college. Then there's the rape allegations scandal involving Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax. Of the three gentlemen embroiled in scandal, the Fairfax scandal is clearly more serious than the scandals of Governor Northam and AG Herring. Don't get me wrong, wearing blackface poking fun at black people in a mean spirited way is not a good thing. But come on, let's be for real here. It appears that the incidents where Northam and Herring wore blackface were at least three decades ago when they were young and apparently dumb and stupid. Both men have since apologized. From what I can tell, all of their actions contemporaneously as elected officials have no evidence of racism or any discrimination towards blacks. As per usual, you have Democrat and Republican elected officials immediately calling for Northam and Herring to resign for clearly political reasons. However, a recent poll I saw showed that the majority of blacks in Virginia felt that Northam and Herring should not be forced to resign because of their scandals. To me this is a reasonable position because in situations like these, I nearly always fall back to my default position: Was it a long time ago and were there apologies by the parties guilty of the offending behavior? Did the offending behavior violate the law or someone's civil rights? Is there recent conduct to suggest any racism or discrimination, and are there contemporaneous allegations that the person guilty of stupid behavior such as this violated someone's civil rights based on their membership in a protected class? If the answer to each question is no, I don't think they should have to resign for inappropriate conduct from so long ago where no crime occurred and no one's civil rights were violated. I'm going to be blunt here. This is all about politics on the part of politicians, and the media's exploitation of race in order to boost their ratings. Can anyone honestly say they are offended by Northam and Herring racially insensitive conduct over three decades ago. Well, as a black person, I can't.
I find it shocking and hypocritical and downright silly that prominent Democrats like Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and Senator Kamala Harris called for Governor Northam to resign over a photo from over three decades ago. Yet, they refuse to respond to complaint letters I sent them detailing racism and discrimination I suffered at the hands of San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo and other San Jose city officials, and the criminal cover-up by officials with the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals and the US District Court during the litigation of two lawsuits I filed against the City of San Jose. The conduct of San Jose city officials and the federal courts is far more egregious than the racially insensitive photo of Governor Northam from decades ago. The takeaway I get from Speaker Pelosi and Senator Harris' inaction to my letters is that today it is okay to violate a black person's rights in the same manner as the KKK and then commit crimes in order to cover it up; but it is a really bad thing if you wore a KKK costume or blackface to a party over three decades ago even though you committed no crime and violated no one's right. How ridiculous is that reasoning? Furthermore, there is a long history of members of the Democratic party being former members of the KKK. One of the most prominent is the late Senator Robert Byrd, the longest serving member of Congress in our nation's history. When Senator Byrd died, he was recognized by the NAACP for the long list of civil rights legislation and other causes he supported that benefited blacks/African Americans. Who is it to say Northam or Herring cannot be another Senator Byrd. Because Democrats have been quick to paint Republicans and President Trump as racists for any perceived slight towards blacks and other minorities, they are now stuck with having to call for Governor Northam and AG Herring to resign for their actions that clearly does not rise to the level of impeachable offenses.
As to the rape allegations against Lieutenant Governor Fairfax, these are very serious issues. The accusers should be heard and treated with the utmost dignity and respect. Their allegations should be taken seriously and thoroughly investigated. However, this does not mean that they deserve to be believed as some Democrats have demanded. The Lieutenant Governor is entitled to the due process requirement of innocent until proven guilty. Just as the accusers, Fairfax is also entitled to be heard and to have an impartial investigation into the allegations against him. Until an investigation that has turned up evidence to corroborate the rape allegations against him, I see no need for him to resign any more than I see the need for Northam and Herring to resign. If the allegations against Fairfax are found to be true, not only should he be removed from office, he should be punished to the fullest extent allowed by law. Democrats find themselves in a tough spot again based on their impulses calling for men to be removed from office or fired because of uncorroborated sexual misconduct allegations. Democrats would be wise to learn that due process and standing up for the rights of women to be free from sexual assault and harassment are not incompatible.
Democrats have set the standard very low for when men should be fired or removed from office based on sexual misconduct allegations; and when a person should be fired or removed from office based on racially insensitive conduct, even though it is decades old and the offender has apologized profusely. The dangerous and unethical game of identity politics that Democrats have been playing for years has now come back to bite them in the rear with the scandals involving Northam, Fairfax and Herring. The Democrats are reaping what they sowed.

Democrats' Rhetoric Dishonors MLK's Legacy
Post 48
Many Democrats could not resist the temptation to attack the character of President Trump on MLK day. In a speech to the National Action Network in New York, Representative Hakeem Jeffries referred to Trump as the Grand Wizard of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Jeffries made other inflammatory remarks as well. He stated that "Jim Crow" may be dead, but he has nieces and nephews that are alive and well. Jeffries made another statement that only partially represents what Dr. King taught us. He said that when faced with racial hatred, Dr. King taught us to deal directly with the problem. You don't run from it. Congressman Jeffries is right that Dr. King taught us to deal directly with discrimination resulting from racial hatred. Dr. King also taught us to love and forgive those that oppressed us and deprived us of our rights because of their racist views. Dr. King's teachings emphasized unity and not the inflammatory and divisive rhetoric of Congressman Jeffries.
Also attacking the President on MLK day was Senator Bernie Sanders. I know he identifies himself as an Independent, but when it comes down to it, he is a Democrat. Senator Sanders called the President a racist at an MLK day event in South Carolina.
One of the more surprising MLK day speeches in my opinion came from former VP Joe Biden. It also occurred at the event hosted by National Action Network. Biden stated that whites have failed to acknowledge that systematic racism still exists in America. He gave the example of two men with the same qualifications looking for a job, one named Jamal and one named Jim. If Jim gets the job then whites have to admit that there is systematic racism. This statement by Biden should be condemned because it over simplifies the problem of racial inequality. It should also be condemned because it is racial stereotyping. It assumes that men named Jamal are either black, or they are another minority. Whereas, all men named Jim are white. I am sure that Democrats and the media would have a field day if this type of racial stereotyping came from President Trump or a Republican.
VP Biden also attacked President Trump for his response to the incident in Charlottesville and suggested that the hate being spewed by the KKK, neo-Nazis and white supremacists is facilitated by the actions of the President. Biden accused Trump of making a moral equivalence between the the violence of the white supremacists and the actions of the counter protestors. Biden also took exception to Trump for blaming both sides for the violence that occurred, and for saying that there were good people on both sides.
The former VP is as partisan as one can be. His words were motivated by politics meant to further the Democrats' agenda. It is unfortunate that he decided to turn what should have been a day to celebrate the great accomplishments of Dr. King into a day of Trump bashing based on his visceral hatred for the President. Biden, Jeffries and other Democrats are quick to say that Trump is the driving force behind the hatred of white supremacist groups while not acknowledging their own hatred for the commander-in-chief. Being that this was MLK day, let's take a look at what Dr. King had to say about how we should deal with hate groups such as the KKK, neo-Nazis and white supremacists. Dr. King said that hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. This suggests that there is a moral equivalence between the the opposing groups at Charlottesville because it is clear from the violence coming from both sides that both groups hated each other. Dr. King said let no man pull you so low as to hate him. Dr. King said "There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies." This gives credence to Trump's assertion that there were good people on both sides in Charlottesville. Dr. King also preached that we should love our enemies because love has redemptive power that transforms individuals. Dr. King said "We must live together as brothers or perish together as fools. This is great advice from a great man that we should heed no matter what side of the political spectrum we are on.

Democrats' Two Different Approaches to Subornation of Perjury
Post 47
The Democrats' response to the BuzzFeed report that President Trump's former lawyer, Michael Cohen, told investigators for Special Counsel Robert Mueller that Trump had directed him to lie to Congress about building a skyscraper in Moscow while Trump was running for president is evidence that the President is held to a different standard than other elected officials. The BuzzFeed report cites two unnamed law enforcement sources that claims Trump's direction to Cohen to lie was found in emails, witness statements, text messages and other documents. However, none of this evidence was seen by BuzzFeed reporters. Democrats were quick to pounce on BuzzFeed's report and stated that investigations would be forthcoming in order to verify if Trump told Cohen to lie to Congress. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler said he would look into the matter. Nadler said that directing a subordinate to lie to Congress is a federal crime.
Democrat Adam Schiff, Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, said that the allegation that Trump directed Cohen to lie under oath is one of the most serious to date. Schiff went on to state that Democrats would do whatever is necessary to find out the truth. Telling someone to lie under oath is a crime known as subornation of perjury, and it also raises questions as to conspiracy and obstruction of justice. Adam Schiff and the Democrats' quick response to call for an investigation of the President for subornation of perjury and possible obstruction of justice based on the uncorroborated claims in the BuzzFeed report is jumping the gun. It differs dramatically from the lack of a response to letters I sent to Democratic lawmakers alleging that San Jose city officials and federal court officials committed several public corruption crimes during the litigation of two lawsuits I filed against the City of San Jose. Two of the crimes I allege are subornation of perjury and obstruction of justice, the same crimes the President is alleged to have committed. Democrats' quick response to the BuzzFeed report calling for an investigation of the President for suborning perjury and obstruction of justice, while at the same time covering up the same crimes committed by San Jose city officials and the courts, suggests that any investigation of the President is politically motivated. It should be noted that the BuzzFeed report has been discredited by the Special Counsel's office. Details of my allegations against San Jose city officials and the courts can be found in my prior posts and my group facebook page at:
The Democrats' response to the BuzzFeed report that President Trump's former lawyer, Michael Cohen, told investigators for Special Counsel Robert Mueller that Trump had directed him to lie to Congress about building a skyscraper in Moscow while Trump was running for president is evidence that the President is held to a different standard than other elected officials. The BuzzFeed report cites two unnamed law enforcement sources that claims Trump's direction to Cohen to lie was found in emails, witness statements, text messages and other documents. However, none of this evidence was seen by BuzzFeed reporters. Democrats were quick to pounce on BuzzFeed's report and stated that investigations would be forthcoming in order to verify if Trump told Cohen to lie to Congress. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler said he would look into the matter. Nadler said that directing a subordinate to lie to Congress is a federal crime.
Democrat Adam Schiff, Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, said that the allegation that Trump directed Cohen to lie under oath is one of the most serious to date. Schiff went on to state that Democrats would do whatever is necessary to find out the truth. Telling someone to lie under oath is a crime known as subornation of perjury, and it also raises questions as to conspiracy and obstruction of justice. Adam Schiff and the Democrats' quick response to call for an investigation of the President for subornation of perjury and possible obstruction of justice based on the uncorroborated claims in the BuzzFeed report is jumping the gun.

The Rebuke of Rep Steve King for His Comments about White Supremacy Reeks of a Double Standard by Congress
Post 46
Here's another example of our elected officials over reacting to a racially charged comment by another elected official. In this case, the elected official is Congressman Steve King. Congressman King has been in hot water before for making statements that were deemed racist or racially insensitive. King's latest misstep occurred sometime last week during an interview with a New York Times reporter. During that interview, King seem to support white supremacy by asking how the terms white nationalist, white supremacy and western civilization had become offensive language. There were no shortage of Democrats and Republicans expressing outrage over Congressman King's comments. Call me cynical, but this over the top negative reaction to King's comments by both Republicans and Democrats is driven by politics more than genuine concern about racism. Republicans are so afraid of being called racists that they were falling all over themselves in their efforts to condemn King. One Republican, Liz Cheney, called for King to resign. King's prior controversial comments about race were an extra motivating factor for Republicans' strong response to his unfortunate comments. On the other hand, Democrats are never the ones to pass up an opportunity to exploit a situation where they can paint a Republican as being racist. Even though they have to be bashed over the head (not literally) in order to condemn a member of their own party for actions similar to Congressman Steve King.
Here's where the double standard by Congress comes into play. As I stated earlier, Republicans and Democrats care very little about racism. While they have been quick to rebuke Congressman King for his stupid comments about race, Congress has engaged in a cover up of far more egregious racist conduct by officials with the City of San Jose, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals and the US District Court. The racist conduct by San Jose city officials occurred when I was denied a CCW (carrying a concealed weapon) permit and vocational rehabilitation training upon my medical disability retirement from the City's police force. City officials admitted that they had violated city policy and state law. They stated that information they received made it crystal clear that the initial decision to deny me a CCW permit was wrong. Yet, they denied me a CCW permit several more times without a hearing that is required by state law. The City's actions were bigoted and retaliatory because other officers that retired on medical disabilities contemporaneously with me were not denied their benefits. I am black/African American. Because of the City's bigoted and retaliatory conduct, I suffered monetary loss and emotional distress. Lawsuits I filed against the City of San Jose for discrimination were summarily dismissed by the US District Court and the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals with the clear purpose of covering up the racism of the City. During litigation, the courts and the City conspired to commit several felonies that include subornation of perjury and perjury, obstruction of justice, fraud and bribery in order to facilitate the courts' biased rulings in favor of the City. I know that these allegations seem far-fetched, but they are the absolute truth. I have posted the evidence to corroborate my allegations at these two links:
The glaring double standard by Congress makes me feel nauseated. You have such a strong rebuke of Congressman King for his stupid and ignorant racial comments; even though he was only expressing an opinion, committed no crimes or violated anyone's rights. Whereas, San Jose city officials and federal court officials not only made racist decisions that violated several of my rights, but engaged in several crimes in order to cover up their misdeeds. Yet, there has been no investigation or condemnation of the actions by San Jose city officials and the courts by the following members of Congress I sent complaint letters: Senators Lindsey Graham, Chuck Grassley, Kamala Harris and Dianne Feinstein; Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, Representatives Zoe Lofgren, Adam Schiff, Ami Bera, former Speaker of the House Paul Ryan and former House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte. Most of these officials refused to extend me the courtesy of responding to my complaint letters.
Congress was clearly united in its rebuke of Congressman King. Congress is also united when it comes to covering up corruption and dysfunction of the federal courts which has caused irreparable harm to our democracy. For its failure to place any checks on the judicial branch of government, Congress as a body also deserves to be rebuked.
