Search Warrant Served at State Senator Carol Lui's casa; LA County GOP Chairman Mark Vafiades Demands 'Media Action'

LA County GOP Chairman Mark Vafiades....right out of Central Casting...and telling it LIKE it IS!

I have to applaud Chairman Mark Vafiades of the NEW Los Angeles County Republican Party.  Mark is now establishing himself as a real leader within the ranks of the LACGOP....that frankly has been lacking bold leadership for eons. 

Anyway, Chairman Vafiades, who is literally right out of Central Casting, has SLAMMED LA Democratic State Senator Carol Liu as well as members of the media around here for being, well,  bad political actors.

I didn't know that Senator's Liu's enclave in tony La Canada-Flintridge was ACTUALLY raided by state enforcement officials a couple of weeks ago. (gulp) search warrants.  ouch. The crooks are still running the California State Senate...from the top down....and bottom up.

Here is Chairman Vafiades viewpoint (via the LACGOP website!)


We’ve been pointing out for years that California’s political culture is far too lenient of corruption, and the state’s media nothing less than AWOL when it comes to providing the full details of the people’s right to know.  And while we haven’t changed our minds, it is true that once in a while, we have a few second thoughts that maybe we are being too critical.
And then yet another Democrat scandal occurs, and we are reminded why we were so sure in the first place.
On January 27th, state law enforcement officials executed a search warrant at the La Canada-Flintridge home of Michael Peevey, a prominent Democrat political activist, who for many years was the head of the extremely powerful California Public Utilities Commission.  This was based upon emails that accuse Peevey of soliciting political contributions from the utilities he was regulating, as well as funds for parties and other celebrations.
I hope you read every newspaper in the state front to back on a daily basis … or you might have missed this bombshell.
But there’s more to the story: Peevey is married to Democrat State Sen. Carol Liu.  That means her home was raided, too, and the following items removed (that we know of): “computers, smartphones and a thumb drive, a small data-storage device.”
Shhhhhh … Be Very Quiet … Media Sleeping
While there have been some interesting details in a few media sources, it is obvious that the Capitol press corps and the mainstream media are doing the absolute bare minimum and refuse any follow-up reporting.
Let’s review:  The most powerful regulator in California was forced to step down from his post … his home was raided by police … material was seized by the authorities … and his wife is a current member of the State Senate.
Doesn’t that sound like a story?  Where is the firestorm of media coverage?
Is Peevey being pursued to give his side of the story?  No.
Has Carol Liu been asked one time what she knows and when she knew it?  No.
Has the State Legislature opened an investigation of what appears to be impropriety of criminal laws and taxpayer funds?  No.
None of this is happening.  I never wanted to be a Democrat … but once in a while I’m intrigued by what it must be like to essentially get a free pass for practically everything.
Kamala Harris, Call Your Office
I realize she’s all but packed up and ready to relocate to the U.S. Senate where she thinks she’ll be after next year … but it would be good if Kamala Harris does drop by her office as Attorney General.  We would like to know anything about this case.  Where is the press conference?  Where is the detailed announcement of how they came to obtain their search warrant of the Peevey/Liu household?  What is the status of their investigation?
If she was investigating a prominent Republican, could we expect this kind of silence? 
What This Means … For Now
This burgeoning scandal is important almost as much for what we know as what we don’t.  It is absolutely imperative that this not be swept under the rug and allowed to fade from public view.
This story is not going away … and neither is the scandal.

Harrison Ford told TMZ last year: Landing a plane is the most imporatant thing about flying

Very shocking news that actor/American icon Harrison Ford has been seriously injured in a plane crash over in Santa Monica this afternoon. Ford had a very brief cryptic interview just last year with TMZ....when he said...."landing" a plane is the most important thing about being a pilot. Just found this clip on line. Harrison....may the FORCE be with you....

I ENDORSE MARK ISLER FOR LOS ANGELES COMMUNITY COLLEGE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, AND SO SHOULD YOU! VOTE TUESDAY!

Randy and Mark Isler in Studio at AM 870 The Answer!

Endorsement:  Elect Mark Isler to the Los Angeles Community College Board of Trustee

I am passionate about who we elect in local elections here in Southern California.

I rarely endorse candidates for public office, but when I do, it is because I believe in their ability and believe that they will never ever betray the trust of taxpayers.

My friend Mark Isler is running for Los Angeles Community College Board of Trustees in the upcoming March election, and I am urging everyone to get behind Mark’s grassroots campaign and to support his candidacy.

 

TUESDAY IS THE ELECTION.  VOTE ISLER!

Mark Isler is an educator, a father, a devoted son, as a true hero in my book.  Mark is passionate about education, higher education, and has dedicated his entire adult life as a teacher right here in LA County.

Mark Isler will help guide our community colleges into a new era and he will do it without greed and ego, but will do the job with honesty, integrity and openness.

I work with Mark Isler at AM 870 the Answer—KRLA.  My new show, “The Randy Economy Show” comes on right before his incredibly popular “Mark Isler Show” on Saturday nights.

This election for Los Angeles Community College Board of Trustees is not about Democrat vs. Republican in my opinion, it is about common sense and casting your ONE precious vote for a person who will represent the needs of students first and foremost and to protect us taxpayers who are the ones who really pay the bills in the long run.

Vote for Mark Isler.
