If LWDA jackass Robert Jones is to be confirmed by the Senate on May 14, then contact the Senate NOW!

Please contact every member of the Senate Rules Committee and find out who's in charge of reviewing, approving, and confirming this clown for his political appointment.  Here's what the Senate members need to ask at the confirmation hearing:

1) Why did you issue a "No-speak" memo to DLSE attorneys, only to cowardly yank it after they filed a PERB complaint?

2) Why did you terminate Miles Locker in exchange for being Acting Labor Commissioner and Acting Chief Counsel?  How long have you lived your life as Acting Jackass?

3) Why were you involved in the Blogger's Free Speech litigation, and why do you hate free speech, as evidenced by your 'No Speak' memo and anti-blogger involvement?

4) How long have you been a whore for the Meal & Rest Period reform attempted by the various lobbyists and political contributors?

5) Will you continue to whore yourself for either monetary gain or political power?  What is your starting price, and can an individual taxpayer afford it, other than the Governor that appointed you?

6) How much did you personally profit, either politically or financially, from the (at least) $6,000,000.00 taxpayer-paid abortion called "CMS?"

7) How were you able to deceive the taxpayers of their political due process by collecting a paycheck as Acting Labor Commissioner for almost two years?  Is it because they could not appoint you as Labor Commissioner because you would never be confirmed?  You received two years of experience, being a loyal a dedicated whore for your masters, so that it would be an easier sell to this political appointment?

8) Why were you down in San Diego, actively involved with the "Brinker" decision?  Was this another example of you on your knees, trying to please your masters?  Did the taxpayers pay for your flight from Nor Cal to San Diego?  What was the excuse/justification for the taxpayers to take in the shorts for your jaunt?

9) What was that stunt you tried to pull with Wal Mart?  Didn't you want to save them $60,000,000.00+ by knee-capping the lawsuit against them concerning the statute of limitations regarding meal & rest periods?  Is Wal Mart also one of your masters, or do you drop to your knees for any big corporation?

10) Other than living on your knees to please your masters, explain in detail how your public service benefits Californians overall, or do you just take up space to please elite millionaires and employers?

This clown has been a disaster for public service since DAY 1.  If he is confirmed by the senate, then  it will be a dark day for all Californians earning less than $125,000.00 per year.

DLSE loses fight against the blogger (third judge to say so), pages are below to click, print and/or download

The DLSE's mission is not to dismantle the First Amendment.

In a case that will eventually cost in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, these public servants (Victoria Bradshaw, Vanessa Holtom, John Rea, Robert Jones, Steve McGinty, Richard Munoz, Anthony Mischel, Greg Rupp, and Lupe Almaraz) have failed their obligatory duty.

The DLSE's GAS republican agenda current mission seems to politicize wages and devise ways for employers to circumvent those nasty little things called labor laws. Lawful employers have no problem with the laws on the books; only the law breakers are pissed off about meal and rest periods, overtime, minimum wage, and mandatory workers compensation insurance.

Here we have a division that fought a free speech case and lost, but they didn't lose their money. They lost the public's money: ergo, they lost your money. They don't care about losing your money because it's not their money. These public officers are incompetent, inefficient, and deserve to have their jobs taken away from them. They do not deserve to serve the public anymore, as they have demonstrated that they have zero fiduciary duty to the taxpayer. Let me repeat their names for the purpose of a Google search:Victoria Bradshaw, Vanessa Holtom, John Rea, Robert Jones, Steve McGinty, Richard Munoz, Anthony Mischel, Greg Rupp, and Lupe Almaraz.

These people are probably arrogant enough to keep fighting; I welcome the opportunity to beat them again and again. Let them appeal, spend more of the public's money and lose. I welcome the chance to show these documents at Angela Bradstreet's and Robert Jones' senate confirmation hearings. Who's the new DIR Director-Duncan, is it? He can join this party, too.

By the way, Steve McGinty and Richard Munoz are some of the best tools OD-Legal attorneys in state service. They rank (right up there with) OD-Legal attorneys Anthony Mischel and Vanessa Holton. I think all four of them are a total joke, and their legal failures prove it. They'll keep losing and I'll keep broadcasting...they ought to stop using the public's money in pursuing a non-mission DLSE legal battle. Save the money for CMS lawsuits. What really burns my ass is the Governator, he actually has the stones to post on his website that he's "The People's Governor." He should have titled it "The Special Interest's Governor," or "The Guy Who Appoints Morons & Invites Lawsuits' Governor"

DLSE management & DLSE lawyers should conduct themselves as if a camera was recording their decisions & actions affecting the taxpayers

Bill Maher was the host of ABC's Politically Incorrect until they cancelled his show for being politically incorrect. Among the reasons, advertisers like Sears and FedEx bailed, and Disney (who owns ABC) gotzta have their money. Now, he has a weekly show on HBO, and thank goodness HBO picked it up.

Criticism is the highest form of democracy...think about it. What happens when a Chinese national criticizes China? What happened when an Iranian criticized the Shaw of Iran? To bring it back to this decade, what do you think happened when an Iraqi criticized Saddam Hussein? Democracy is a proponent of criticism because: 1) it stirs debate, and 2) people who care to say what's on their minds usually want to make things better for the whole, and 3) people have the freedom to say what they are thinking. DLSE management cannot take the necessary steps & make the necessary decisions to improve this agency so as to better serve those who need DLSE's help. They, the decision makers, deserve a proportionate level of criticism that's indicative of their duty of care to the public until they either eliminate the stupidity or fix the problem.

Greg Rupp? His resume speaks for itself...an Assistant Chief do-nothing, carry-a-gun-collect-a-paycheck and run out the clock to his retirement. Robert Jones? He's a blunt instrument/tool for his bosses who also had to have the California Supreme Court tell him how to interpret meal & rest periods; he also fired the one attorney that made the correct interpretation of meal & rest periods. Is Robert Jones jealous of Miles Locker? More than likely. Emasculated? Perhaps. Smarter? Not at all, just politically-connected because Jones couldn't get a job in state service on his own. Lupe Almaraz? Just another tool/cheerleader for a multi-million dollar computer software system , and he can't say no to his bosses, those very same bosses that got him promoted.

The last time I checked, this was neither China nor Iran...this is America, where we have this document called the US Constitution and the freedom to believe that if somebody is an incompetent *sshole, then we have the freedom to speak and write such beliefs.

What it costs to stop Lupe Almaraz, as a government agent, to stop demanding identities of confidential sources & prevent access to my private diaries

This is the ongoing cost of one blogger's quest for justice, and it ain't finished yet.

What OD-Legal's doing is a waste: a waste of time, a waste of money, and a waste of resources. They are wasting the court's time, and they are wasting the state's time. These inefficient lawyers (Richard Munoz, Steve McGinty, Anthony Mischel, Vanessa Holton, etc.) from OD-Legal could have been spending their time by furthering the DIR's mission and sue the crap out of the multi-million dollar CMS players (because that's who is currently who's fcuking the taxpayer).

Instead, the state's Dept. of Industrial Relations, Office of the Director's Legal Unit has been brought down upon the blogger. The state is attempting to crush the blogger. David versus Goliath; let's hope justice prevails.
