There was no sponge cake at the first event. It was a nice old fashioned Jewish sour cream coffee cake. I know because I made it myself at 7 am that morning. There was also other food besides Costco pizza. Also tell what we DID NOT have at our meeting—no cardboard dicks etc—a child could see that from the street. Scary part is the parent committee would be made up by people who think salacious pictures in a garage full of old white males are a party theme Don’t let your kids near that garage, the library is safe

Why is MAGA so obsessed with sex? Why would anyone (Mike Johnson) share their porn history with their kids?

There were always conservative council members in hb. But they were mostly the chamber of commerce types..NOTHING like these assholes. I know the appointed city attorney, Mike Vigliotta. Always seemed a straight shooter. Was well liked. Either he changed or I was clueless that he was a clown. Because only a clown would work with these assholes. Same with the new city manager, Travis Hopkins

Vigliotta couldn't pass up that salary. Michael Gates made sure he got a $100,000 raise after the Nov. 2022 election turned MAGA majority.

I retired in 2010. But I was told by people I trust that Mike left initially for tustin because he didn't like what was going on. I guess money talks!

Mike was in Orange, not Tustin. I recently retired from Tustin and worked with the City Council, therefore, with the City Attorney.

You are correct. I haven't talked to Mike in years. Hard to believe he is doing this. You should see the text chains that we all had about him.

You never heard a bad word about him. Did his job. The staff that i talked to said gates was universally hated. Didn't do routine stuff. Didnt show up for meetings etc. Now almost everyone i knew has left. I live in FV so thankfully I don't have to deal with them

I was hoping he wasn't part of the club and actually practiced law and gave sound advice to the Council and looked out for the City. 🤞🏻Maybe, still?

BWAHAHAHA. “One councilman in particular, a snarly little dude named Chad Williams, has gone out of his way to bring up (porn) every (porn) two (porn) seconds. If (porn) you’re (porn) trying not (porn) to think (porn) of (porn) porn, avoid (porn) Chad.”

But seriously, that's how Chad talks!

He's obsessed, not in the powered sugar donuts every Sunday after mass obsession, but in the sex-is-wrong and hush now kinda way.

I can't imagine what his family goes thru??

Mr PORN Chad Williams is not well.

I so love your blogs. An IQ equivalent to Harold Baines' uniform number. 😆. As a long time Chicago resident, that was brilliant.

I worked in HB for six years, Travis is a misogynist (ex-Mormon) and Vigliotta is as MAGA as they come, both ideologically agree with Council. I don’t know how Travis was an engineer he is a bumbling idiot. vigliotta is an item with Jennifer Carey who is leaving to work for Strickland although she has no legislative experience. It’s all a disaster. But she and Vig plan to be the first couple of HB at least that is what she says.

The fact anyone supports sexual instruction for kids is gross
