All four donors are Democrats, by the way

The first official act of Supervisor-Elect Suzanne Jones is to move the office literally across the street to a new suite that will cost the County $5K a year more than the office Kirk Uhler currently has.

That also involves county staff moving her office at a cost of about $10,000-$15,000 to the taxpayers of Placer County.

It gets better – despite having her election certified three months ago, Ms. Jones has yet to reach out to any of the department heads in Placer County. Perhaps she is so impressed with herself that she is waiting for them to call her? Or, perhaps she does not care as she is now beholden to the NIMBY’s in Placer County.

Given that she is going to have a direct impact on the entire county, you’d think she would meet with the department heads.

Got it? $5K a year more + $15,000ish for the move. She has already cost Placer County $30-$35K and she has not taken office yet.

On that note – one Viktor Bekhet had his attorney contact me in an attempt to bully me in to not writing anything about him and pulling anything I had written about him down or something like that.

Not bad. Another legal demand letter (Number 29 in my career) and someone who called the cops on me courtesy of her crew. Why am I not surprised that Jones is already costing the taxpayers money and developing “goodwill” among county staff?

I can hardly wait to see what her Municipal Advisory Committee looks like.

P.S. Supervisors get full County Benefits, too. This means any of Suzanne Jones’ therapy visits once she takes office are also covered in full. Given what I think of her mental state, that alone could be millions.

While Jessica Patterson and Marie Waldron once again run and hide, the details about the behavior of Phil Ting and Lorena Gonzalez get worse and even more graphic. While Jessica Patterson attempts to fund-raise off of key issues, yet avoids the media about the same issues, how many more Women are being exploited in Sacramento?

While Patterson had some carefully parsed statements about Bill Brough (only AFTER he lost his primary) she has been conspicuously silent on Phil Ting. Marie Waldron is too busy advocating for the early release of felons and enjoying fleeting favor from Gavin Newsom to worry about a major scandal within the ranks of the alleged party of Women.

Part two of an explosive Expose’ on Phil Ting dropped today.

Carmel Foster is the victim, she was used for sex by Phil Ting after Ting connected with her via a website known for ties to human trafficking. Lorena Gonzalez, the sociopathic author of AB5 also exploited Foster WHO WAS HOMELESS DURING MUCH OF THE TIME SHE WAS USED AS A PROP FOR AB5:

Ting, however, was not alone in his duplicity. Others were also used to manipulate Foster during a vulnerable time into becoming, as she puts it, California’s “poster child of domestic workers”.

Manipulated by Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez and AB5 supportive unions

Foster’s testimony for Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez’s AB5 was stage-managed through the California Domestic Workers Coalition (CADWC) under the umbrella of the National Domestic Workers Alliance (NDWA), and the California Federation of Labor.

Issue 1: here is the connection to the big union groups.

Issue 2: Connection to the Sociopath Lorena Gonzalez.

“The funny part is, when I was in a homeless shelter that’s the only time Phil did not contact me,” she said. “I was there for maybe 2-3 months, maybe less. I didn’t come to America to be in a homeless shelter. This is what the courts, this judge [the Family Law divorce judge Christine Carringer] wanted for me. I said, you know what? I’d rather go clean toilets.” – Carmel Foster
Carmel Foster – willing to work to evade homelessness

Foster discovered the Handy app in early 2017. Handy was a new platform where users could book cleaning services and handyman work. She decided to become an independent contractor.

“So, I got onto the Handy app and started gaining clients, cleaning houses—this is when he started contacting me again.”

While Foster enjoyed the flexibility Handy offered, she did not care for the way the rating system dictated a sliding scale in her wages. That scale being dependent upon whether someone rated her work high or low. She also didn’t like the fact that she could not take her good reviews and ratings with her when she wished to work on other platforms, like Thumbtack and Uber.

Issue #3: SHE WAS HOMELESS during much of this period of time. And when trying to survive, Ting contacted her for sex again.

Even though she had only worked for Handy for a short time, she would end up testifying about her experience at an April 2019 Labor Committee hearing in support of Asm. Gonzalez’s AB5. Foster says her testimony was scripted and crafted by the NDWA, and the fact that the testimony was printed on the organization’s letterhead appears to support this.

Issue #4: After trying to earn money as an independent contractor she was prevailed upon to attack the very source of her income.

Issue #5: The second installment includes redacted emails proving the Labor Unions scripted her testimony (WHILE SHE WAS STILL STRUGGLING TO STAY OFF THE STREET!!!)

The abused woman later filed a wage and hours claim related to some of the odd jobs she worked which led to another chain of events – including staying at the home of a well-known Labor Leader Sarah Leadem. The organization handling her claim was the CADWC, which looks like a front rather than a legit union.

The Unions Push Back

In an article in the California Globe referencing a past article, political journalist Katy Grimes also covered Foster’s assertion that she stayed in the home of an employee of CADWC. Ms. Grimes alerted this writer that she received an email from Kimberly Alvarenga, Director at the organization, alleging that this information was not accurate.

However, a text chain between Foster and Leadem showed that Leadem did indeed make the offer and supplied Foster with her home address. Foster claims she stayed with Leadem for four days between October 31 and November 3, 2017, and after that period, Leadem arranged for Foster to stay at another location.

Issue #6: The swamp and the incredibly small world of the leftist union type groups. Is this why CAGOP Chair Jessica Patterson and her handlers won’t do anything?

There appears to be a concerted effort on the part of the California Labor Federation to distance themselves from Asm. Ting, Foster, and the organization’s involvement in AB5.

When Vega, who sat next to Foster at the April 3 Labor hearing prepared to give her introductory remarks and introduce Foster, Vega said, “My name is Caitlin Vega of the California Labor Federation, proud to be a co-sponsor of this bill”. See timecode 1:50:35.

Since Vega is no longer in the employ of the California Labor Federation and the organization looks as though it is trying to get as far from this scandal as possible, does this mean that California Labor Federation is no longer proud to support the AB5 law? If so, millions of independent contractors and freelancers would rejoice over a public renunciation. But we won’t be holding our breaths.

Issue #7: If there was no problem, why are the unions trying to run away from Phil Ting? Why then is Marie Waldron Silent? Did Gavin Newsom tell her to back off or no more committees?

The victim did not know that Phil Ting knew all these other players. While the connections would be obvious to the political insider world that reads this blog, it is not so obvious. After staying at the home of Sarah Leadem, this happened:

Dual Allegiances Revealed

It was in 2018 when Foster disclosed to Leadem that:

“I was sleeping with Phil Ting. I never knew she knew him. I was put right in the Lion’s den to tell you the truth.”

Foster said she had no idea that Sarah Leadem and Phil Ting knew each other until she discovered this photo of Leadem introducing Ting at a rally in support of SB2314.

It is one thing to enter into a sexual dalliance with one person. It is quite another to find out you’ve become the victim of a  disinformation train. In Foster’s mind, it had become an agenda of sex and political sport. So, she employed her own self-protective measures, like preserving emails and texts. And recording phone calls.

Part III of this series will reveal more details from that preservation.

That’s right, Carmel Foster figured out she was being used and at that point started saving every communication. The swamp is getting exposed in California and the CAGOP “Chairwoman” that we are supposed to be in awe of is refusing to engage on behalf of abused women even though she is the first female CAGOP Chair ever. For her part, Marie Waldron is continuing her pattern of weakness, avoidance and straight out collaboration. The refusal to lead from CAGOP Leaders once again illiustrates why the GOP is at 23% and falling in California.

I can’t wait for Part 3, because it will come out long before we hear anything from CAGOP chair Jessica Patterson or Assembly Permanent Minority Leader Waldron.

This is the same Politico that is hunting GOP Congressional Candidates including CA10 and GA14, so whenever they jump in to a budding scandal you need to be very skeptical.

The story about Phil Ting is getting traction even as CAGOP Chair Jessica Patterson ignores it. (What about protecting and defending women?) Also appearing to try and avoid the situation are Assembly Permanent Minority Leader Marie Waldron and the Comms Guy Matt Fleming.

Enter Politico:

TING TUMULT: The California political world was abuzz this weekend after Assemblyman Phil Ting publicly admitted to an extramarital affair that had been alleged by a conservative website — and Ting’s emphatic denial of allegations that the woman in question had been exploited for political purposes. “The allegation that my bills or votes were ever driven by any personal consideration is false,” Ting tweeted. Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon swiftly backed Ting up, accepting his apology and rejecting “allegations in a right-wing blog.”

Leaving aside Ting decision to use a false identity — including a photo of fellow Assemblyman Phillip Chen — to seek out partners on a website called “What’s Your Price,” the allegation of political malfeasance is a serious one. The story on Communities Digital News paraphrases Carmel Foster saying she was “exploited” by Ting, the California Labor Federation and the Domestic Workers Alliance. While Foster did indeed testify in favor of labor priority bill AB5, a Labor Fed spokesman told us he had not met with Foster or worked with her on testimony. A National Domestic Workers Alliance representative confirmed Foster worked with them from 2018 to 2019 on gig worker issues, during which Foster helped “develop a vision of fairness and pilot for home care training,” and said Foster testified voluntarily to her own experience.

We spoke to Foster this weekend, and her political grievance centered on her sense that her life story was used for legislation but not credited.Foster said she signed up for the gig-work program Handy and connected with the Domestic Workers Alliance for help filing a wage claim. She said Ting did not explicitly bring up the legislation or urge her to get involved. Instead, she said she was frustrated that he had not informed her of backing legislation that reflected her plight, including his vetoed 2018 bill to create a dedicated domestic worker program within the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement, and didn’t talk to her about the measure. “He used me for those bills,” she told us. “He used my story.” And she said she was angry to have been told what to say during an AB5 hearing.

Note the spin from Politico. #1 they parrot the talking points attacking the source of the allegations. #2 They allow Ting to get away with just an apology. #3 the amount of coverage related to the defense against allegations is more than double the allegations #4 They attempt to bracket the victim’s issues as some sort of bruised ego thing.

Since Politico has a pattern of defending democrats and attacking Republicans, it stands to reason that they are attempting to meddle on behalf of Phil Ting. It is a good thing there are two more parts to the Ting Scandal set to be released.

Dear readers, don’t hold your breath waiting for Jessica Patterson or Marie Waldron to weigh in. They did not have a whole lot to say about Bill Brough either, as Patterson waited until it was completely safe politically to comment on the Brough Caper. (Post Assembly Rules report validating one of the victim’s stories)

Meantime, let’s keep taking the trash out of the California State Legislature.

Is this simple incompetency? Or is it more of the team McCarthy trying to wreck candidates he does not like?

As you recall, McCarthy and Emmer (the Congressman that is the figurehead in charge of the National Republican Congressional Committee aka NRCC) threw Ted Howze out with the bathwater over social media posts first aired on Politico.

Right On Daily burnt a local political consultant and the Chair of the CAGOP for being part of what looked like a planned assault on Ted Howze in #CA10. We believe the exposure of the insider machinations stopped the execution in its’ tracks. Ted Howze is still very much alive and competitive.

Then, a couple of weeks later Politico went hunting for a #GA14 Candidate, Emmer and McCarthy threw that candidate over the side as well in a continuing display of weakness.

Now comes this – a letter sent by the aforementioned NRCC in to #CA10 raising money off of the competitive #CA10 race. You read this correct, within weeks of screwing over Ted Howze, these same luminaries are trying to raise money off of his competitive campaign.

So, I thought #CA10 was no longer a priority for the NRCC?

For years, your intrepid blogger has told people to give to candidates directly after investigation (see also Deanna Lorraine or Joe Collins for examples as to why you need to investigate candidates before donating or participating).

Not only do we have CAGOP leadership dodging tough issues, hiding from democrat scandals, screwing over conservatives – but now we have them fundraising off of everything. At best, it is an act of gross incompetence.

The leadership has to change or else Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff and Jarrod Nadler will have two more years of investigations and shutting down legislation. Or is this what the GOP leadership really wants? You have to wonder sometimes.

I have come to the conclusion that most in Leadership in the CAGOP, Assembly Leadership and others have Stockholm Syndrome. They have allowed themselves to get so beaten down losing all the time that beyond giving up trying, they are actively collaborating with the Democrats.

Examples? Jessica Patterson NEVER discusses any controversial issues in the media. They may send some carefully worded emails to try and fundraise off issues, but Patterson is MIA. (Except of course when it comes to anyone that supported either of her opponents for Chairman, then she tries to impale them)

Russell Lowery, a former staffer for failed Senate Permanent Minority Leader Pat Bates is an out-loud Trump-Hater. I guess it matches his former boss defending Bill Brough to the death. I’ve seen former staff of Roger Niello making similar attacks.

Luis Alvarado, Marty Wilson and Mike Madrid are all former GOP Staffers / Consultants and current CAGOP Delegates – openly and actively campaigning against President Trump. I will be supporting efforts to remove them all from the CAGOP – while Jessica Patterson and the never-trumpers she is surrounded with do nothing.

So why am I not surprised that all of them are silent on Phil Ting? Marie Waldron for her part has completely thrown in with Gavin Newsom on the lockdowns and masks, she is co authoring legislation for proxy voting in the assembly and is openly advocating for releasing criminals from Prison so they can re-offend.

I get why a malignant Narcissist like Bill Brough would feel wronged. Ting is basically being allowed to get away with similar behavior to Bill Brough. Matt Fleming, who once was covering for Tyler Diep and was a failure as a CAGOP Comms person, who now works directly for Marie Waldron has had zero to say. Fleming covered for Tyler’s corruption while Brough got shredded (rightly so, by the way) to pieces.

Where is Jessica Patterson on Phil Ting? Nada. Hey, but she posted a blackout tweet!

Phil Ting had a personal ad on a website known to be fraught with human trafficking. He was also impersonating Phillip Chen (R AD-55) on said site. Phil Ting is a little girly man and Phillip Chen is ripped out of his mind. So, Ting in order to increase his chances of finding someone to use physically, availed himself of Chen’s photos on social media. (If you are of a different opinion regarding Ting’s appearance or motives for using Chen’s photo, leave a comment please)

You’d think now that a Member Phillip Chen was pulled in to this scandal Matt Fleming / Jessica Patterson or Marie Waldron would do something? Of course not. Jessica Patterson basically has supported all of the insane orders of Gavin Newsom regarding the shutdown to tank the economy in advance of the 2020 election.

Once again, Harmeet Dhillon is the only CAGOP Leader speaking up.

With the exception of James Gallagher and Kevin Kiley – both hammering on the lockdowns and the bullet train – not much of anyone Republican has had a thing to say about anything.

Phil Ting solicited sex on a website known to have sex trafficking issues using Phillip Chen’s likeness. Once he got sex with a vulnerable immigrant, he used her as a pawn to testify on several issues – while she was living in a motel no less – and then shipped her off to a democrat campaign job to get rid of her.

Because he is a democrat and people like Jessica Patterson and Marie Waldron are so weak and feckless, all he has to do is apologize and all is forgiven.

LOS ANGELES: He is one of the most powerful politicians in Sacramento. She is the domestic worker who testified at Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez’s first hearing in April 2019 on the notorious labor law, Assembly Bill 5 (AB5). Bay Area resident and author Carmel Foster first met Assemblyman Phil Ting (D-San Francisco) on an online dating platform. Now a naturalized citizen, Carmel Foster came to America from South Africa on a K-1 visa (fiancé visa) in 2003.

Oh and there is a nexus to AB5, too.

“These unions controlled my testimonies, got stories out of me, and then tossed me out. It was payday for them, not to help domestic workers. I sat next to Lorena Gonzelez to testify at her AB5 hearing on April 3, 2019, yet she never talked to me and refused to meet with me beforehand. I’ve had so many sleepless nights. It’s been hard for me as an immigrant and a divorcee, because I came from the corporate world. The worst humiliation is this person, Phil Ting, sleeping with me when I was living from motel to motel.”

The deafening silence from Marie Waldron, her communications director Matt Fleming or team Never-Trump-Patterson is nearly criminal in my opinion.

The website that has broken the story about Phil Ting indicates they have two more parts coming out. I seriously doubt we hear a thing from our leaders in California in the meantime.

P.S. Marie Waldron left a very gracious and supportive comment on my wife’s Facebook when she announced we are moving to Reno. My issues with Waldron are purely political and her terrible political decisions. I appreciate the fact that she was an avid listener of my Wife’s and is a devout Christian. Regarding my relocation to Reno, if anyone in California Politics thinks they are getting off the hook, think again. I bought a domain a while ago called www.rightondailynevada.com so Right On Daily (California) could continue on…
