BREAKING: RPLAC Eminence Grise "Grabby Andy" Gharakani (GimmeKandy) Steps Down

I received two text messages earlier today.

They both indicated to me that the former power behind the throne, or the eminence grise of the Republican Party of Los Angeles, Andy Gharakani, announced at the June 2019 LA County GOP Central Committee meeting that he was stepping down.

He is going away.

Let's be frank: he is being asked to leave.

For the last two months, I have been receiving emails from an account labeled "Take Back RPLAC", and we have received more news about Grabby Andy using the LA County Central Committee to make money, while the county party makes no progress, and the candidates make no victories.

Andy is OUT!

I also suspect that Andy decided to get while the getting was good, because there is no more money to pocket while pretending to consult for candidates and causes which further the state of California.

Gharakani, the "New Majority", and the other leadership PACs have not been about getting good conservative people elected. They have been all about getting their bank accounts fattened.

Now, Gharakani is on the way out.

But what about Richard Sherman? What's going to happen to him?

Word has it that Richard Sherman, the current RPLAC Chairman, is going to step down, too, since he has no idea how to lead, and has only been doing whatever Andy tells him to.

Is there new hope for a real, robust political opposition in Los Angeles County? The Democratic Party throughout the state of California is collapsing in on itself. The California Democratic Party had to throw out their previously-elected chairman, openly gay nurse Eric Bauman, for sexual harassment, and even then he had only gotten elected by a 72 vote margin.

The Democratic hegemony in California is beyond corrupt. There is room, there is opportunity for real leadership to pay attention to the needs of everyday Californians who want safe communities, freedom, and a desire to live their lives in peace.

With the RPLAC eminence grise gone, there's an opportunity for different leadership to Make LA County Great Again.

Personal Note

Normally, I would not add these remarks, but I think it's worth while to do so. One of the individuals whom I spoke with about the above news had known about all the bad things that RPLAC had attempted against me and others.

The more that I have learned more about Christ's love for me. The more that I realize how rich and ravishing His grace is, the less concerned I had become about outcomes. I no longer put undue pressure on God to vanquish my enemies, so to speak, but to take solace, love, and strength in His caring for me. He is in the restoration business, and therefore I no longer have to waste my time trying to make other people pay back whatever they may have told me.

More importantly, however, I needed to understand fully that God's love for me is real, eternal, and has been showering on me since the beginning, even before I believed on His Son! It would he contemptible for me to base God's love on me based on whether things worked out, in that he removed bad people from power on my timetable.

But God is not moved by even that. God wants me to love Him on the must trustworthy, perfected foundation: His Son's death, resurrection, and never-ending ministry at the right hand of God the Father. That is the basis for our love, that is the basis for our faith in Him. His love alone, His grace alone supplies us perfectly--and I learned to recognize how unmovable His love is for me.

When I rested in that, no matter what bad things may have happened, then all the prayers that I have prayed began getting answered in much shorter time than previously realized. It's quite something!

So, when I received the two text messages from friends of mine regarding what happened to "Grabby Andy" Gimmekandy, and what is likely in store for Richard Sherman, I had a simple peace about it. My joy is no longer based so narrowly on seeing the downfall of my enemies, since God has already blessed me with so much more--and is blessing me all the more!

Will there be a new future for the Republican Party of Los Angeles County? Who knows?

Rise UpTake Back RPLAC -- Email Begins Tell-All

Rise Up Take Back RPLAC Are you fed up? Are you tired of losing? Have you noticed the lack of leadership coming from RPLAC? Are you a loyal supporter of our Republican President, and yet RPLAC is controlled by "Never Trumpers"? Recently, the Republican Party in California and LA County got shellacked. Where was RPLAC to help Steve Knight? Where was RPLAC to Help Dante Acosta? Where were they? Missing In Action

The "Low Energy" Executive Board has turned RPLAC into a select social gathering, not a political action juggernaut. Who is responsible? In coming weeks, we'll introduce you to Andy Gherakani the Never Trumper operative who controls the Executive Board and who dictates and imposes his own leftist will on RPLAC. We've all seen "The Wizard of Oz"? Gherakani is the munchkin behind the curtain, pulling the levers and pushing the buttons on the Executive Board. Soon you'll be hearing howls from him; "Pay no attention to that little munchkinbehind the curtain". The time has come, if you're as tired of losing as we are; JOIN US.

BREAKING: New Leadership Takes Over AD-66 (New Permanent Minority Puppets Thrown Out)

Well, it finally happened.

From the looks of things, the by-law breaking and capricious leadership of the AD-66 Central Committee finally is coming to an end.
coerr
Speaking with various sources within the Central Committee and outside of the Central Committee, I discovered that the following has occured:

The previous Central Committee leadership, with Janice Webb as AD-66 Chair, had violated number of County Central Committee by-laws. Of course, the LA County GOP Central Committee has a long history of violating by-laws, including the abrupt, unjust, and illegal revocation of the charters for two volunteer organizations: The Mountain View Republicans and the Beach Cities Republicans.

The current members had an election in November 2018, including members who were no longer eligible to vote.

The reorganization needed to take place in December, after new members were sworn into the Central Committee, including Frank Scotto, the recent candidate for AD-66 State Assembly. Scotto did not cast a vote for the new leadership. Furthermore, David Hadley, the former assemblyman, former candidate for governor, current and outgoing state vice-chair, had cast a vote when he was not eligible to do so.

In January this year, one member of the central committee, Rick Marshall, asked for a point of order to challenge the election from November last year. The chairwoman, Janice Webb, ruled against him, but the member challenged the ruling of the chair. Roberts Rules of Order allows an individual to challenge previous decisions and to tally a final vote to uphold the point of order.

The members of the central committee ruled with Rick Marshall, and the elections from November 2018.

A temporary chair was elected--Mark Tsuneishi--and a temporary secretary took over, Marlene Silva.

Two weeks later, a new election was held: February 11, 2019.

New members have joined the AD-66 Central Committee: Ken Wright, the Congressional candidate who ran against Ted Lieu, and the father of Joshua Scott, who ran for Congress against Grace Napolitano, but who is permitted to serve on his local central committee because he ran for partisan office.

The four previous leaders--Janice Webb, Patty LaGrelius, Jon Fleming, and Frank Scotto too--did not even show up for the meeting. They pretty much knew that the vote and the final votes were not going to go their way.

I would say that those four individuals were like sore losers. They realized that the original elected leaders were not going to win in the second vote at all.

As of yesterday, there is new leadership for the AD-66 Central Committee:

AD-66 Central Committee Chairman Rick Marshall

Chairman: Rick Marshall
Vice-Chair: Mark Tsuneishi
Secretary: Marlene Silva
Treasurer: Larry Scott

Congratulations!

What Does All of This Mean?

This is a victory I can relish and greatly appreciate.

Janice Webb was one of the most ineffective, corrupt, and dissolute leaders for any local or state-connected Republican organization in the state.

She had called my work to pressure my boss, Craig Huey, to make me cancel a meeting which would feature Latinos for Trump, including Marco Gutierrez. She tried to intimidate me to cancel the meeting, and I refused.

The County Central Committee leaders at the time, including Executive Director Jason "Spellcheck" Maruca, Howard Fakes, and Gary "SCAM"-inoff, along with previous empty chairman Mark "the Weasel" Vafiades, went to great lengths to lie about the Beach Cities Republicans. They basically threatened the membership of the club, that if they elected me as President again--which they did--that the club's charter would be revoked.

What a joke! The members of the club refused to be bullied or intimidated, and I released all the information about what the county executive committee was doing. They didn't like that, and I stood up to them.

Playing sour grapes, the executive committee from January 2017 revoked the Beach Cities Republicans charter for baseless reasons, they even lied to the public and to the press. It was pretty sad.

I was really unhappy with how corrupt, how unjust the whole affair had become. I continued to serve as President of the Beach Cities Republicans for one more term. Janice, sadly, continued to serve as chair, and the rest of the previous leadership, backed up by New Majority money and the pressure from Andy Gharakani, aka Andy Gimmecandy.

Gharakani has been a force of corruption and abuse in Los Angeles County. He and his cronies have been raking in consultant money and taking county donations which have gone to other county central committees. Republicans have raised little money and done even less for GOP candidates in Los Angeles County, and ther disastrous 2018 election results spelled out in full that something is rotten in the state of RPLAC.

It's been this way for a long, long time, and FINALLY someone has done something about it.

Rick Marshall called out the hastily-elected leadership from 2018 and demanded a revote, which RPLAC by-laws permitted him and others to do.

My understanding from AD-66 Central Committee members and others who have learned about what is going on is that there is a general frustration with the lawlessness and the rule-breaking that has been going on a long time, and all of it because of the New Majority, or better yet the New Permanent Minority, or should I wrote the New Permanent Superminority.

These liberal, big money Republicans have been taking advantage of central committees, candidates, and grassroots volunteers for a long time. They are doing nothing to promote GOP values or to help candidates win. Instead of doing what is right for the party and thus for the state, they settled for controlled failure and diminished relevance, but as long as they get invited to all the parties and blame "inevitable demographics", then all is well for them.

Enough is enough.

I am so glad that creepy, corrupt Janice Webb has been deposed and that there is now new leadership at the AD-66th Central Committee!

God bless Donald Trump, and as for Janice Webb:

"I'M FIRED! OH NO!!"

YOU'RE FIRED!

Other Takeaways from California Primary: Big Losses for RINO New Majority

The Election 2018 California primary was filled with victories for conservatives and residents of all backgrounds.

The recall succeeded, and the Democrats have lost their supermajority for good in the state senate as well as in the State Assembly.

None of the Democratic candidates for Congress had a huge victory. In fact, many of them barely made it into the Top two. In five of the top seven seats targeted by the DCCC, the Republican incumbent won a higher vote than all the other candidates combined, including in Orange County.

There's another set of victories, however, for California's conservatives which no one should overlook.

 The New Majority PAC, the liberal interest group headed by anti-conservative Andy Gharakani and Gary Aminoff (also known as SCAM-inoff), the same interest group which helped kill of the Los Angeles County GOP Central Committee, endured another set of losses on Primary Day, too.

Any Gharakani, aka Gimme-Kandy or Gimme-Gimme, returned to his usual tactics of backing RINOs and liberal candidates for office, in the vain hopes that the vapid Republican Party of Los Angeles County central committee will have relevance again under his failed leadership.

RPLAC RINOs with Cheating Chad Mayes

Let's not kid ourselves. Richard Sherman is not in charge of anything in Los Angeles County. He is an empty suit who does whatever Big Money Andy tells him to. He has also pressured members of different central committees within the county not to appoint different members since he wants to avoid controversy at all costs.

Let's look at the list of failures for the RINO New Majority Establishment, especially in Los Angeles County.

1. Steve Bailey advanced to the Attorney General race run-off against Xavier Becerra instead of Gimme-Gimme's pick Eric Early.

Special thanks to Steve Frank of Simi Valley for getting the word out on Early. I knew "early" on that I didn't want that guy as our nominee, since he was Andy Gharakani's hand-picked candidate. Then the news hit the delegate list that Early had donated big money to Democrats and liberal Republicans in other races.

That clinched the nomination and party endorsement for Steve Bailey, a retired lawyer and judge from Modoc County who earned 25% of the vote on primary day having raised a paltry $400,000. That's incredible!

2. Omar Navarro won the primary to challenge Maxine Waters for CD-43 in the general election.

From the very beginning, Andy Gimme-Gimme and Gary SCAM-inoff went to work to scuttle Omar Navarro's chances to challenge Maxine Waters a second time for Congress.

Gary "Omar Derangement Syndrome" Aminoff

I can't believe the level of Omar Derangement syndrome they suffer with. It's almost as bad as Trump Derangement Syndrome!

Aminoff went out of his way to dissuade Roger Stone from helping Omar Navarro, for example. He even sent a letter endorsing racist "Black Lives Don't Matter" wannabe Candace Camper for Congress instead.

Not only didn't Candace bother to run (she has no money, and she even got evicted from her apartment, according to one source), but Omar defeated two other Republican candidates for the bid as well as a Green Party candidate.

See you in November, Omar!

3. Rocky the RINO got knocked out early in his abotive bid for Congress.

This is a delicious victory for outraged California Conservatives who have dealt with liberal betrayal over and over again from the state and county parties.

Rocky the RINO voted for Cap and Trade, he supported Xavier Becerra's appointment as California Attorney General, and he voted to allow illegal aliens to get Medi-Cal!

Also, he's a beloved prop of New Majority CA--and he lost big time.

Bye-Bye Rocky the RINO!

CAGOP Convention Aftermath: Big Loss for RPLAC RINO Andy GimmeKandy

Andy Gharakani, aka GimmieKandi, was pushing an attorney general candidate up to the CAGOP Convention.

Sure, retired LA County District Attorney Steve Cooley supported Eric Early, but then a bombshell dropped for the Convention delegates, thanks to California Political Review Editor Steve Frank:

  STEPHEN FRANK

                                  Delegate, California Republican Party

                                                    May 3, 2018

The California Republican Party convention is about to start.  For me, I have been very quiet about the convention and the June primary.  But today I found out something VERY disturbing about one of the candidates wanting our endorsement on Sunday, Eric Early, running for Attorney General.  I have endorsed Judge Steven Bailey, but not been involved in his or any of the Statewide races—just involved in local races around the State.  This is what I found out:

8/10/10  Eric Early donated $100 to Dave Jones for Insurance Commissioner

7/22/14  Eric Early donated $500 to Dave Jones for Insurance Commissioner

In 2018 Dave Jones is running for Attorney General—If Early and Jones are on the ballot, who will Early support?

3/12/09  Eric Early donated $500 to Jerry Brown

3/10/10  Eric Early donated $500 to Jerry Brown

3/11/10  Eric Early donated $1,000 to Jerry Brown

5/24/10  Eric Early donated $500 to Jerry Brown

While we were working hard to defeat Jerry Brown, Eric Early was an early donor to him.

Congressman Brad Sherman WROTE the articles of Impeachment against President Trump---Eric Early has donated $4840 to Brad Sherman

Eric Early Donated $1,500 to Open-Borders Liberal Democrat Rep. Brad Sherman as recently as 2016. 
10/28/2010 – $240   10/28/2010 – $100  10/30/2010 – $500  3/21/2012 – $1500

8/24/2012 – $500  10/14/2013 – $500  8/25/2015 – $1000  8/30/2016 – $500

Grand Total? $4,840

He gave money to DEFEAT Senator Ted Cruz in the Texas primary: Early doesn't just donate to liberal Democrats either." . As recently as September 2017, Eric Early inexplicably donated $500 to Stefano de Stefano, a quixotic Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in Texas who ran to Senator Ted Cruz’s far left.

He also donated to get the U.S. Senate to be Democrat controlled:

On 9/27/2011 Early donated $250 to Congresswoman Tammy Duckworth, a progressive hero who is now a US Senator from Illinois voting against President Trump 100% of the time.

On 6/5/2012 Eric Early donated $300 to Senator John Tester.

On 9/28/2014 Eric Early donated $500 twice to Extreme Left-Wing Oregon Senator Jeff Merkley.

With Eric Early money talks.  It tells us as delegates where he stands.  His actions speak so loud, I can not hear a word he says.

Thought you should know before the Sunday vote.

For me, the biggest problem was Gharakani. He has lots of money, but very little morals. He makes all the other RPLAC Central Committee members do whatever he wants, including Richard "Where Are You?" Sherman, along with Janice Webb, who has called people's work to pressure individual political activities.

Let's not forget Gary SCAM-inoff, but I digress.

From early 2017, I was supporting Retired Judge Stephen Bailey, who lives in Northern California, where so much of the political rebellion is breaking out. Before Los Alamitos, northern counties had already opted out of SB 54. The Sheriff of El Dorado County was emphatic: "I will not comply with the Sanctuary State Law".

For me, there is a lot to hope for from Judge Bailey. He has been running a grassroots campaign--and he doesn't donate to Democratic candidates. He has constitutional legal training, too.

So ... Bailey won the endorsement of the California Republican Party!

— Judge Steven Bailey (Ret.) (@BaileyForAG) May 6, 2018

Of course ... Andy doesn't seem interested in talking to anyone ...

Now he's gone into hiding!

We need more conservatives to organize as they have never done before and start making Los Angeles County Republican again, just as we need to work to Make California Great Again!

RINO Central Committee Tries to Scuttle Omar Navarro's Congressional Bid

The RINO Republican Party of Los Angeles Central Committee is corrupt and useless.

They have no manners, not values, and no commitment to winning.

They have turned into a hollow group of irrelevant frauds who only want to be on TV once in a while and fill up their social calendar. They would rather shut down strong candidates than ensure that someone wins an election, even if Central Committee leaders do not like the candidates.

It's a real shame what has become of the once powerful Republican Party of Los Angeles County.

They could be contenders, if they really wanted to fight.

But they would rather lose "gracefully", making themselves look good compared to everyone else.

Omar was not able to win the endorsement of the RPLAC Central Committee.

But guess what?

Neither did any other GOP candidate running for Maxine Waters' seat. In the end, it looks as though Republican candidates of different backgrounds are going to fall into an abyss of uselessness.

Omar Navarro has been raising the money, establishing his recognition and stronger community connections than all the other candidates.

Everyone else who is running in this race must realize that they don't have anything close to a chance of winning. It's as simple as that.

Hi Everyone, Leaders of LAGOP tried to throw me under the bus today, by telling members not to endorse me. Members revolted. They abstained from voting, preventing LAGOP from endorsing any congressional candidate in the 43rd. They said “if we can’t vote for Omar, we won’t vote!” Let's send them a message by helping us pay for mailers to reach out to voters in the district. I'm going to make history with you in November.  We already spent $1740 for the filling fee and $7300 for the candidate statement. This brings us down by $9040. We need help to get us back up by helping cover the cost of mailers which cost $3600 per 10,000 people we mail to. Donations received by today are especially appreciated because it's going to help us with the cost of  three mailers which cost $10,800. REACH 1000 VOTERS - $360 REACH 2000 VOTERS - $720 REACH 3000 VOTERS - $1080 REACH 5000 VOTERS - $1800 Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support. I keep you all in my prayers as I know this campaign is in yours. God Bless, Thank you, REACH 7000 VOTERS - $2520

PAID FOR BY OMAR NAVARRO FOR CONGRESS

Voters of the 43rd Congressional District, let's send the message loudly and clearly to the corrupted political establishment in Los Angeles County.

We want to see Omar Navarro in Congress.

We want to make Los Angeles County Great Again.

We want to Make America Great Again.

We want OMAR!

CAGOP Central Committees Demand Mayes' Ouster, Except RINO-PLAC (No Surprise)

American Children First Founder Joseph Turner assembled an incredible list of contacts and information from different Republican groups throughout the state of California.

Check out how many state Central Committees have demand that Cheating Chad Mayes, the Assembly Permanent Minority Leader, step down for orchestrating the corrupt and harmful Cap and Trade "compromise" which is hurting and will further damage the disintegrating middle class in California.

Several county central committees are now getting on board. Here is the list with links to the letters:

• Orange County Central Committee
• San Diego C​ounty Central Committee
• Fresno County Central Committee
• Merced County Central Committee
• Madera County Central Committee
• San Luis Obispo County Central Committee
• Mariposa County Central Committee
• Tulare County Central Commitee

Turner points out that Riverside and San Bernardino Counties are missing from this list.

What we see is the very bad, very frustrating politics within politics which has hurt Republican chances for growth and opportunity in California.

Turner reports:

The Riverside County Central Committee voted to summon Assemblyman Mayes to the next meeting for an explanation before voting on a resolution calling for his resignation. Apparently, several members of the body were unaware of this new thing called the Internet where one can listen and hear the reasons Mayes gave for his vote.

The San Bernardino County Central Committee, chaired by Jan Leja, has been silent thus far. Reports suggest that they have cancelled the meeting to protect Mayes and Marc Steinorth (Rancho Cucamonga) from being confronted for their votes.'

Strangely, though, San Diego Central Committee slammed Mayes, and one of the other Cap-n-Traitors was North San Diego County Assemblyman Rocky Chavez. There is no reason not excuse to cover for any elected official.

Of course, another county is specifically missing from this growing list of central committees demanding Mayes' resignation:

The Republican Party of Los Angeles County

It's crystal clear that the RINOs are currently running things in some of the larger counties in California. What a shame.

The RINO-PLAC executive leaders have no interest in taking any kind of lead on anything. They have no regard for the rule of law. They have no interest in fighting for any kind of values, either.

Is it any surprise that Republicans continue to lose ground in the most populous county in the state?

Shame on Chairman Richard Sherman! Don't conservatives deserve something better, more robust than the flabby status quo?

 But then again, maybe we shouldn't be surprised to begin with:

The crash of New Majority RINOs
They like sellouts like Mayes.

And let's not forget what constitutes current "leadership" in Los Angeles GOP circles:

RINO-PLAC Chairman
Richard "Do Nothing" Sherman

Gary SCAM-inoff
