JASON KAPONO COMING TO LA LAKERS? WELCOME HOME, ALMOST, JASON!

BACK IN THE HOOD? I SURE HOPE SO! Image by Keith Allison via Flickr

I read in the LA Times Sports Section tonight that the Los Angeles Lakers could soon have Jason Kapono donning the purple and gold.

Stop the presses. This is some of the most hopeful news coming out of Laker Land in months, as far as I am concerned. Jason is like rock star down here in Cerritos, Lakewood, Hawaiian Gardens and Artesia. Yep, he is one of "us," a local kid who has lived his dream and made it against all the odds to make it to the NBA. I got to know Jason during the time he played round ball here in the ABC Unified School District at Artesia High School back in the late 1990's. What a team that was at Artesia High School back then. The BEST in SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. Jason signed with the UCLA Bruins and achieved greatness and a maturity and that amazing leadership. Jason was at the top of his Class at Artesia High School, one of the SMARTEST KIDS in the CLASS. We miss Jason here, and now that their is a "possibility" that he could end his career as an LA Laker makes me "rethink" my opinion of Team Buss and the operations going on over at Staples. Toast to you, Jason. Hey, how have your cooking skills been lately? You've come a long way...

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.”
