At the March 15^th Monterey Park City Council Meeting I thanked the Council and staff for passing a resolution to honor March as Women’s History Month.

I stated that women and young girls have worked very hard to reach where we are today.

I also asked where we are in the drought issue since we have received all of this rain. I can already swim in my backyard but I do not have a pool.

I am still waiting for my answer to the drought question.

On April 2nd I received the answer to my question about the drought from Mayor Pro Tem Thomas Wong and former Mayor Mike Eng who now sits on the San Gabriel Valley Municipal Water District. He is completing Thomas Wong’s term of office until 2024.

They said that we are still in a drought but some of restrictions have removed at this time.

I want to thank our fire fighters for hosting the Barbeque at Barnes Park on March 25^th. The hamburgers and cheeseburgers were delicious. The funds raised was for our Community Healing Fund.

I want to thank Robert Aguirre and his staff for a great Spring Egg Hunt on March 30^th. They organized the area for one age group at a time. I watched the youngest group pick up their eggs. They were very happy with their haul.

I want to thank Bob Gin and the Library Foundation for hosting their Novel-Tea at the library on April 2^nd.  It was wonderful to see so many friendly faces after a three-year delay due to the virus. All of the funds raised will be used for our library.

During the Monterey Park City Council Meeting on April 5^th City Manager Ron Bow read this report into the record: “On January 21, 2023, 11 people were murdered, and nine were injured as the result of a shooting spree. This tragedy is unprecedented in the City’s history and will affect our community for many years in the future.”

“In response to the tragedy, on Wednesday, January 25, 2023, the Vice President of the United States, Kamala D. Harris, traveled to Monterey Park to visit the site, laid flowers to honor the victims of the shooting, visited with victim’s families, and met with first responders and local elected officials.”

“On Tuesday, March 14, 2023, the President of the United States, Joseph R. Biden, Jr. (POTUS), traveled to Monterey Park to visit with the victim’s families, hosted a press conference regarding firearm legislation, and met with first responders and local elected officials.”
“In preparation for the POTUS’ visit, City staff worked diligently to create an incident action plan. It took various actions to ensure the community’s safety during this historic visit.”

Just a reminder that guns, axes, knives and other weapons are used by people to kill people.

Please support our Constitution rights to free speech and protects the rights to keep and bear arms.

Is our US government using all this gun violence as a reason to take our guns away from responsible US citizens?

If you have been following World History over the years you will notice that dictators have always taken guns away from their citizens so they cannot protect themselves from the dictators’ violent acts against them.

April 4^th was a very sad for our United States of America.

New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg weaponization our legal system against former President Donald Trump.

“Alvin Bragg may actually do it. The Manhattan district attorney is by all media accounts preparing to indict Donald Trump for failing to account properly for hush money paid to his alleged mistress, unleashing who knows what political furies,” the editors of The Wall Street Journal  wrote on Monday April 3^rd.

“TRUMP is charged in a New York State Supreme Court indictment with 34 counts of Falsifying Business Records in the First Degree.”

Mr. Trump’s attorneys and other attorneys stated on the various television shows that Mr. Bragg had no proof that the funds were used as “hush money”.

They all stated that Mr. Bragg’s indictment failed to say what other proof he had against Mr. Trump.

When a news reporter asked Mr. Bragg what other crimes Mr. Trump has committed. Mr. Bragg said he did not have to state them in his indictment.

Alvin Bragg ran for office stating he was going to get Donald Trump.

Alvin Bragg is financially support by George Solos in his Color of Change PAC.

Alvin Bragg is a Liberal Progressive Socialist. He and his fellow socialists are working very hard to destroy our Country.

Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascon is financially support by George Solos in his Color of Change PAC.

Many of our district attorneys in the United States of America do not prosecute the criminals preying on our citizens.

They protect the criminals. They arrest and prosecute the victims for protecting themselves and other innocent people.

Now the George Soros financed District Attorneys have a “Green Light” to arrest and try to convict any of their political opponents.

Please carefully research your candidates’ history before you vote them into office.

If they are financially supported by George Soros and his Color of Change PAC , please do not vote them into office.  They are not friends of our American way of life.

The American citizens must stand up against this political corruption before they destroy our United States of America.

These District Attorneys and their political protectors are selling our homeland to their foreign owners like China, Russia and the Middle East.

I hope and pray that we Americans will be successful in overturning this evil history that is destroying our United States of America.

May God bless us and help us to protect ourselves, our families, our friends, our neighbors and our homeland from this evil “One World Order”!
