Los Angeles, CA

I literally just woke up here in Los Angeles, and I am worried about my two new Facebook pals RYAN and THOMAS who have been keeping the world updated on the MASSIVE CYCLONE YASI that is directly hitting them at the EVER MOMENT in Cairns, Queensland. Their signal has been lost, and I am fearing the worse for them and so many others. Please keep them and everyone in Queensland in your PRAYERS. RYAN and THOMAS...we are PULLING FOR YOU HERE IN THE USA!

Ryan and Thomas: Live From Cyclone Yasi...while they still can....

OMG. These guys are nuts. I JUST had one of my readers from Queensland send me this link from Ryan Kirkman who lives in Carin and he is actually broadcasting LIVE the CATEGORY 5 Cyclone YASI for the WORLD to eavesdrop on.

Watch live video from Cyclone Yasi - Cairns (#bigyasi) on Justin.tvRight now they are singing "Happy Birthday" in the pitch dark and telling jokes and just having a ball. So, be careful Ryan and his pal Thomas. Below clip is from earlier on Tuesday local Queensland time.

Meet Randy Economy

You may know me from my role as the Senior Advisor and Official Media Spokesman for the Recall Gavin Newsom campaign that established a worldwide blitz of interviews. I conducted more than 2,200 media interviews on behalf of “The People’s Recall” during a 10-month period from November 2020 to September 2021. The iconic magazine Mother Jones in a dramatic feature article called me “A ‘Superhero Pirate’ Radio Host, (and) Gavin Newsom’s Strangest—and Most Dangerous—Threat. Meet Randy Economy, the man behind the effort to recall California’s governor.” I appeared on more than 330 media outlets around the world in my capacity with RecallGavin2020. Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, Newsmax, NBC Nightly News, ABC News, as well as the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Politico, and dozens of other media outlets aired featured reports on my work on behalf of “The People’s Recall.” I am and will always consider myself to be a journalist. Sometimes I think I bleed ink. My talents as an Investigative Journalists in California earned me FIVE top awards from the prestigious Los Angeles Press Club in 2013, 2014, and 2016. I am tenacious. My reporting over the years has led to the prosecution of several elected officials in California. While working for a tiny community newspaper in Southeast Los Angeles County, I worked doggedly to expose the biggest public corruption case in Los Angeles County history when I unearthed a massive pay to play scheme inside the Assessor’s Office that led to the arrest of then Assessor John R. Noguez and four others. However, politics has been in my DNA since I was a child. I have worked on more than 300 political campaigns as a consultant and advisor since 1982 for candidates from all sides of the political spectrum including Democrats and Republicans, and even Libertarians. I am also a small business owner, serving as the President and CEO of Hot Water Studio & Production, LLC. My company works with media outlets across the state, nation, and world exposing public corruption via several new media platforms. I have also overcome personal challenges. I am legally blind with zero vision in my right eye and only 40 percent vision remaining in my left eye. I sometimes wear an eyepatch due to my failed vision. (Hence the nickname of “America’s Political Pirate.”
