Los Angeles, CA:

American Federation of Teachers(AFT) union boss Randi Weingarten is now officially on the bandwagon to legalize marijuana here in California.

The controversial teachers union president is supporting this Novembers divisive ballot measure and her bizarre comments over the weekend here have turned heads, including mine.

Btw...
The American Federation of Teachers is the union that also represents the teachers here in the ABC Unified School District that teaches our children in Cerritos, Artesia, East Lakewood, South Norwalk, and Hawaiian Gardens. Laura Rico, the leader of the ABCFT is a National Vice President of this union under Weingarten's reins.

It is not known if the ABC Federation of Teachers is going to follow their national leader on this issue, but, in union politics....you ALWAYS follow your national unions leadership, especially when they serve "both masters."

Weingarten, made her revelation to support the November California Pot Proposition at this weekends California Democratic Party Convention in Los Angeles. The proponents of the legal pot movement were out in force during the three-day confab.

"Everything in moderation is pretty much fine," Weingarten said when asked by "Real Time" host Bill Maher whether she'd back the measure. "Wow," said fellow guest Washington Post editorial writer Jonathan Capehart. "Teacher-approved!"

Weingarten quickly added that she only endorsed pot smoking "if it's legal."

Note to Weingarten: What planet are you living on? "Moderation." Is she whacked out? Quick, grab a urine sample for this gal.

The California initiative, known as the Regulate, Control and Tax Cannabis Act, would allow anyone over 21 to possess 1 oz. of marijuana and grow plants in an area no larger than 25 square feet. It also allows marijuana to be grown and sold and imposes taxes on production and sales.

Asked by Maher about parents who toke up but don't want their children to, Weingarten said, "When something becomes a forbidden fruit, you have to spend a whole lot of time making sure that, when you say no, people don't think you mean yes."

The 52-year old New York City native also admitted that she was a former pot smoker but due to her asthma, her "experimentation with it was short-lived."

Give me a break.

I hope the brass at the ABC Federation of Teachers has the balls to just "say no" to Randi Weingarten.

Our children deserve better.

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.”
