#  Nithya is a NIGHTMARE!!!

FRED TALK - We have all been watching the events in France over the past few days. We need to pay attention. The far left revels in chaos. Look at the destruction all over France--from retail establishments to government buildings--and let's not forget the ransacking of a synagogue which of course is de rigueur. The protests were massive, unruly and highly dangerous. Curfews are now in place in many French cities--and maybe the government will declare martial law.

There are lessons here for our city. The Socialists of America would like nothing better than for that to happen here. I don't call them Democratic--the D stands for Dangerous, Deranged or Dumb--proudly flaunting a political and economic philosophy that has continually failed all over the world. Speaking or screaming loudly doesn't make you right--it only makes you the loudest. (ask Michael Schneider from Streets for all who is spending millions to get Nithya elected because she will listen to him--he's obnoxious---if he had his way, there would be a bicycle lanes thru your living room.) The SA proudly believes in defunding and demonizing the police----what they want in our streets is chaos and class warfare---and the situation in France is the poster child for that. Look at the difference in our last two District Attorney's. Gascon saw the law as an hindrance and his office was a sympathetic ear for anyone who committed a crime--a revolving door. Hochman understands that laws are meant to be followed and punishments are deserved for crimes committed. Everyone in this city--and that includes everyone---no matter of race, religion, color or sexual preference has an absolute right to feel safe and secure no matter where they live or who they are. Any other response is totally a non-starter. It's also important to vote for John McKinney for City Attorney as opposed to that Dingbat (thank you Archie Bunker) Marissa Roy--another apologist who has no clue what the job she is running for entails..

This brings us to the Mayor's race. I have called Nithya a nightmare and cancer for our city and there is every reason to come to that conclusion. A nightmare is unpleasant, horrible and appalling--characteristics she represents on a daily basis. At a time of civil unrest--which is entirely possible here--she has actively worked to keep the police department from appropriate staffing levels. One day she is for defunding the police, the next day she is against it--her opinions change as the wind blows--or if the socialists are whispering in her ear that day. If elected, she wants to replace the Police Chief Jim McDonnell--who has done a remarkable job with the limited resources he has at his disposal. What she wants is LESS law enforcement. She recently voted against the Mayor in adding an additional 170 officers--in lock step with the socialists of America. She worries more about the homeless than the tax paying citizens of our city; hangs out with unrepentant anti-semitic bigots (Hasan Piker); and lies. She takes credit for reducing the homeless in her community--but all she did was follow Mayor Bass's program. She lied to her constituency about the impact of ULA which has had disastrous consequences for new construction in LA, notwithstanding she was warned of its dire consequences. This idiocy was dreamed up by Peter Drier a retired socialist academic at Occidental University. It counts who you listen to and who you govern with.

Green Day wrote a song "American Idiot" which, among other things, criticizes ignorance. David Scott wrote a song "You Can't Fix Stupid"; and finally "Stupidity is a Talent" is a rap track celebrating how loud confidence often goes hand-in-hand with zero common sense. These songs should be Nithya's political sound track--as all are appropriate.

Before I go--two additional comments:

Today--"Petunia Pom Pom" --Lindsay Horvath has just endorsed Nithya---Lindsay's political ambition always exceeds her actual ability--she's as phony as $3 Bill--and not worth listening to ---spineless. As head of LHASA, $3B was squandered under her (lack) of leadership.

Lastly, I just received a flyer in the mail from the Morons at Metro---this is the headline--seriously---"We're exploring a transit alternative to the 405". They have been at this for more than 15 years---Columbus discovered America in less time. If you can't get a job, call them---no qualifications needed. They have a motto--just becuase we started it, doesn't mean we have to finish....all of their senior executives need to be fired. The STC will never be built--$80B and rising.

VOTE--VOTE---BASS--MCKINNEY--GOLDSMITH

More to come before the election----
