SFPUC WORKERS PUT IN HARMS WAY - " CONFINED SPACES " - THIS WORK IN NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART - WORKING UNDER GROUND CLEANING RESERVOIRS - IN MANHOLES - EACH WORKER HAS TO BE CERTIFIED AND TRAINED WELL.

 

It is the responsibility of the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission to certify and train workers and send them fully equipped to the location screened, experts who are licensed and can authorize anyone qualified to enter " Confined Spaces " for an extended time to do repairs, clean locations like reservoirs, cisterns, which the SFPUC failed to adhere to.

Steve Richie, William Taehan, and Frank Jordon from the SF Water Department had time to gang on Joe King, his son Conrad King, and Adolfo Padilla - for no valid reason -  these mean managers resorted to retaliation. Why?

Go to Agenda # 4 Public Comment.

We, the public and the family members of the three SFPUC workers, gave our testimony twice, and you can view the video for yourself above.

We have brought our concerns to the General Manager and the Cabal, the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission, which has no clue about "Confined Spaces".

Less about the policies and standard operating procedures that go along with working and the hazards that come with working in the deep " Confined Spaces " - forty feet, fifty feet, and more.

When family members pleaded for help, the SF Public Utilities Commission carried on nonchalantly, with no empathy.

Each of them should resign - they are not fit to comprehend, let alone take action, on such subjects - because all they do day in and day out is rubber-stamp.

The San Francisco Civil Service has failed to look into this case and other cases, too - advocates have appeared before the SF Civil Service Commission - and asked the SF Civil Service to help the workers to no avail.

Each of these hardworking workers - Joe King, Conrad King, and Adolfo Padilla - had commendations given to them.

No one was ever written up or told that they had failed in their work.

Joe King worked for 8 years and received many commendations.

 Conrad - Joe King's son worked for 3 months and was dismissed because of the retaliation and gang imposed on his father. 

Adolfo Padilla worked for 6 years and received commendations, including "worker of the year".

So why the retaliation? 

Why the ganging? 

Why the utter nonsense from Steve Richie, William Teahan, Frank Jordon, and Joy Chan - one worse than the other - pathetic?

William Taehan was caught watching porn and gambling.

Frank Jordon, while training with the SFPD off work,  attacked a gay guy, took his sandwich, and beat him, along with those who were with him, joining the jackass. 

Yet, he was hired by the SF Public Utilities Commission.

Some months ago, one white plumber at the SF Water Department choked another white plumber at work  - nothing happened to the two of them. 

One of them was a very good friend of William Taehan, who was caught watching porn and gambling - the article was in the San Francisco papers.

Different strokes for different folks - if one is white, they can do as they please, and this nonsense must be curtailed - for all the talk that the Manager Dennis Herrera and Steve Richie - both - do not deserve to work at this time, and should go.

Missing is the suffering the two families endured. You can see this in the video below:

https://sanfrancisco.granicus.com/player/clip/51114?view_id=22&meta_id=1191647&redirect=true

Again and again, we have seen targeting " People of Color " by these so-called privileged folks, treating " People of Color " as if they are slaves.

This is San Francisco - but you would not know it - if you witnessed the nonsense that is going on at the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission - more of those making more than $350,000 a year.

We know the General Manager makes $500,000 a year - and is not an engineer - as the SF City Attorney, Dennis Herrera, took on an attorney working with him at his office - the coworker took Dennis to court and won.

Dennis Herrera has no clue what is going on with the sexual harassment and ganging up on workers of color at SFPUC.

The managers - using their skin color and position to put down those who work hard, and many of them have come to me, Francisco Da Costa.

 I have spoken about the harassment and retaliation at the SF Public Utilities Commission meeting - the Cabal that must be removed and debarred.

Joe King, Conrad King, and Adolfo should be reinstated and allowed to work for the City and County of  San Francisco.

Be it not at the SFPUC that smells of Sulphur, and is the center of racist white, who must go as soon as possible.

All those who participated in the ganging and dismissal of these three hardworking SFPUC workers must be brought to book, written up, and given a final ultimatum.

THE SAN FRANCISCO PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION - A CABAL AND SATURATED WITH CORRUPTION OF THE WORST ORDER - TIME TO GET RID OF THE RUBBISH - CORRUPT MANAGERS AT SFPUC.

( Please go the Agenda 4 - to listen to the testimony)

I have seen it all, the lies, cheating, wheeling and dealing - millions of dollars wasted - and the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission - hoodwinking us in broad daylight - enough is enough.

Joe King, his son Conrad King, and Adolfo Padilla - decent, hardworking SFPUC workers who belong to SF Laborers Union 261 -  they paid their dues, but the Union 261 let them down.

The main issue was "Confined Space " - any worker who does this work will tell you you need training and certification, and that you must follow Standard Operating Procedures and Policies.

Joe King was incharge and soon found out that his workers were put in harm's way. He brought the issue to his higher-ups, William Taehan and Frank Jordon, and instead of finding a solution, the managers chose to gang up on Joe King and dismiss him without cause.

They then turned to Adolfo Padilla - the team leader - and his boss Joe King.

Joy Chan, who works for SFPUC Human Resources, moved Adolfo Padilla from one project to another - his last move was to work with the Arborist, and he had no training, except that someone showed him how to use a saw.

These three workers worked very hard  - Joe King for eight years, and no one ever wrote him up. Joe King received five commendations.

Conrad King, his son, worked for three years and also received a commendation. Conrad did nothing wrong - he was chided for not wearing work boots, even as he was going to change to his work clothes, and of course would change to wearing his work boots.

Joe King was called to the office one day and told he had passed his test, and he left happy about his promotion.

The very next day, Joe King was called and told that he was relieved of his job and had to clear his belongings. So was Adolfo Padilla, even though Adolfo Padilla was injured while working for the Arborist without any training.

https://sanfrancisco.granicus.com/player/clip/51114?view_id=22&meta_id=1191647&redirect=true

Adolfo Padilla is due for an operation on December 4, 2025, for a serious spine injury.

On Conrad's father's birthday, Conrad was called to the office and told he had been relieved of his job.

I reviewed all the documents Joe King has - he kept records of everything and nothing whatsoever - calls for the sordid actions taken by the managers Steve Richie, William Teahan, and Frank Jordon.

Each of these managers must be audited - their actions are well known. 

One, Willian Taehan was watching PORN, and there was an article in the papers some years ago. When it suits these jerks, they do as they please.  

We appeared at two SFPUC Commission Meetings and gave testimony; the General Manager and the SFPU Commissioners led the testimony. 

They know that the three workers did not commit anything serious - to dismiss them - without cause.

The Laborers Union 261 failed miserably - today the Unions seem to have lost the legacy put in place by most Unions in Francisco - reminiscent of Bloody Thursday - San Francisco is known as a Union City.

In this case, both SFPUC and Laborer Union 261 did wrong, and all because the three workers were of color.

The three workers have written chronologically what exactly happened, and we are ready to take this case to the next level.

We also have over 1,000 people ready to protest.

We are asking for an audit and have contacted those incharge of the 

The "Confined Space " project is to give us a report and has used the Freedom of Information Act.

The main person, Alfajora Alexeh, is out from 11/17/25 to 12/2/25 - he is in charge of projects that come under " Confined Space ".

Two managers under Alfrjora Alexeh have vacant FTEs.

These leaves Steve Richie, William Taehan, and Frank Jordon inchare - one worse than the other.

The City and County of San Francisco - the Mayor of San Francisco - the SF Controller, the incoming SF Inspector General, who can indict and will be in the position to investigate - January, 2026 - must investigate the SFPUC General Manager - the SF City Attorney - Steve Richie, William Taehan, and of course Frank Jordon.

The above retaliation occurred because Joe King brought to their attention the lack of standards and not following the written policies - put the workers in harm's way with intent - and treating the three workers - Joe King, his son Conrad, and Adolfo Padilla with utter disdain.

Wake up, San Francisco - I have been monitoring the corruption for over forty years - and as I said, today it has reached the saturation point.

Francisco Da Costa

THE CORRUPTION HERE IN SAN FRANCISCO HAS REACHED SATURATION POINT - OUR JUDICIAL SYSTEM IS A JOKE - CABALS RULE AND MUCH LIKE THUGS - WHO ACT AS THEY PLEASE.

Hetch Hetchy Reservoir land and water were stolen from the Indigenous.

It is a crying shame to state openly that San Francisco is saturated with corruption of the highest order.

Our SF City Departments are confused and confounded - call them and no one answers - visit the Departments, and there's no one to resolve a problem.

There was a time when there was some semblance no more. 

Upper management is on leave - they come to work after staying out on leave - only to find some accuse - taking an extended leave - what the hell is happening?

Every commission has these attorneys - they listen and do nothing at all. 

Seldom will one witness a City Attorney stepping in to clear something blatantly wrong. 

One of the worst Departments is the San Francisco Public Utilities situated at 525 Golden Gate Avenue - the headquarters - the Cabal - wheeling and dealing.

The Sewer System Improvement Project - defies all norms - the project started with $6 billion - the rascals have wasted millions - with all sorts of ploys, machinations, and shaneginans - now, reaching $15 billion - yes, fifteen billion.

Heading towards $25 billion - there are NO checks and balances and all sorts of wheeling and dealing taking place at the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission - stealing copper wire, thieves ordering spare parts and selling them, managers play golf - during working hours - wheeling and dealing, selling water in the Sunol area.

Engineers failing to find a service at Calavares Dam - failing to drill and test the area - then facing a problem - removing over one million tons of dirt.

For sure, someone was found to take the dirt to an area where one had to pay thousands of dollars - the truckers and others making hay while the sun shines.

Not everything is going well at Calvares and the Mountain Tunnel - the Irvington Tunnel - spending millions of dollars, and dealing with situations of utter failure.

The SFPUC embarked on some sordid  Water Recycling Operation - by the City Zoo - the operations are stalled - millions wasted - and all the General Manager and his stooges do - is play golf and laugh all the way to the bank - most making over $400,000 at the higher end - one making $500,000 per year.

Some decided to contract to run a line to increase the service of the electricity, only to dig conductors and lay lines - inundated with water - the contractor was mandated to inform Pacific Gas and Electric - he did not - pulled the lever to charge the system - and end in a Blackout - an entire area, the Bayview Hunters Point and beyond. 

Our reservoirs and cisterns are not serviced - the so-called Hetch Hetchy clean drinking water, in recent times, has been contaminated with water tapped from the watershed.

The SFPUC has been informed of some stench in the water, but to no avail. We are dealing with folks who do not care about service - managers treating the SFPUC workers with disdain. 

This nonsense must STOP.

The SFPUC manager who manages our clean drinking water is busy selling millions of gallons of water to computer and other companies, raking in the money. 

While all the time asking us in San Francisco to conserve water, and folks like Steve Riche lie and project presentations that defy empirical data.

Peter Drekmeier and I - Francisco Da Costa are fed up - speaking truth to power - while Steve Richie thinks he can do as he pleases - failing to do his job - and now puts SFPUC workers in harm's way.

Failing to comprehend " Confined Space " projects - and Standard Operating Procedures - putting hardworking SFPUC workers  - in harm's way - others involved William Taehan and Frank Jordon - one watching Porn during work hours - the other ganging on a person on the street - taking the sandwich from him - and beating the innocent gay person. 

SFPUC chose to give Frank Jordon a job - imagine the utter nonsense prevailing at the Water Department, headed by Steve Richie.

SFPUC is put on notice to do the right thing.

Today, SFPUC has triggered the IRE of the people - the people united will not be defeated.

If you find the kitchen too hot,  SFPUC - step back and fade into oblivion.

The SFPUC, for all practical purposes, is a CABAL.

Francisco Da Costa

THE SFPU COMMISSION HAS WITH INTENT FABRICATED STORIES AGAINST THREE SFPUC WORKERS - AND WITH INTENT PUT THEM IN HARM'S WAY. WHERE IS THE JUSTICE AND FAIR PLAY.

 

Dennis Herrera - General Manager of the corrupt SFPUC.

https://sanfrancisco.granicus.com/player/clip/51114?view_id=22&meta_id=1191647&redirect=true

As an advocate and the Director of Environmental Justice Advocacy, I come across all sorts of issues.

Climate change, environmental justice issues, and most of all human rights - at all levels - in this case that of Joe King, his son Conrad King, and Adolfo Padilla.

In each case, these three hardworking and decent SFPUC workers were treated with disdain and ganged upon. 

Something the SFPUC does again and again - bringing down the workers targeted - and often accusing the workers of violence, and other fabricated, sordid lies.

In 1996, the City and County of San Francisco (CCSF) allowed the Mayor, Willie L. Brown, to amend the CCSF Charter, appointing his lackeys, including the SFPUC.

525 Golden Gate - the headquarters of SFPUC - was spearheaded by Mayor Willie L. Brown Jr - he placed all his minions and cronies in that sordid building - today it smells of sulfur.

The Mayor also made several changes to the SF Civil Service, forcing the workers who were terminated to use only Union lawyers, and other ploys, machinations, and shenanigans. 

The Union today, by far, stays away from litigation, and the result is that most workers are terminated and suffer.

In this case, there was no need to terminate Joe King, Conrad King, and Adolfo Padilla, all hardworking workers.

Each of them was commended - Joe King five times and Adolfo Padilla, among other commendations, chosen as employee of the year.

The SFPUC's modus operandi hurts workers through all sorts of lies and taunts, making things difficult.

In short, atrocities and bullying - the managers themselves, each known for breaking the laws, poorly trained, given positions, having no experience, nepotism, all of which allows them to act like fools.

Why would anyone suddenly want to harm Joe King after eight years, having a clean record, and being made to suffer because he brought to the attention of his poorly trained managers serious SAFETY issues?

Adolfo Padilla worked under Joe King, and both were targeted because both of them could do a needs assessment - and bring the lack of SAFETY issues in the workplace - to the fore - and before the SFPUC - managers who failed to do the right thing - putting the worker in harm's way - with intent.

"Confined Space " projects require managers to understand the difficulties of the situation and identify best practices. 

Protect the workers from chemicals that can kill the workers - when they are in a confined area - most tunnels, reservoirs, other such locations that bring about all sorts of harmful actions - mandate that the workers are protected - SAFETY FIRST.

Hydrogen sulphide is a colorless gas; other chemicals in the reservoirs require workers to be equipped with special outfits, breathing apparatus, monitoring equipment, and oxygen pumps, and to address other adverse issues. Many emergency situations arise quickly, and one must be prepared to address them.

https://sanfrancisco.granicus.com/player/clip/51114?view_id=22&meta_id=1191647&redirect=true

The current SFPU Commissioners have no clue about anything much, are totally ignorant of the situation at hand, and yet they sit on the SFPU Commission.

The Commissioner does not interact with the workers and has no clue about hundreds of hardworking SFPUC employees who have been adversely harmed, and many have been terminated for no cause.

The SFPU Commissioners are mandated to care for and interact with the workers - far from that, when matters are brought to their attention, they look the other way - they act like a CABAL.

The mothers, the women related to the workers - friends all came to speak, and each told from the heart - they spoke truth to power.

Joe King, Conrad King, and Adolfo Padilla did nothing wrong.

This case is clear-cut - when Joe King and Adolfo Padilla spoke about the Safety issues.

All sorts of other issues were fabricated - all of which can be addressed - because I have read and studied the empirical data.

I am familiar with workers who work in confined places and have helped them before. 

Most managers, well-trained and certified, have no problems addressing the plight of the workers more in " Confined Spaces" - one cannot say that of the SFPUC and one Steve Richie.

Steve Richie, the manager who went to the General Manager to snitch about Joe King and Adolfo Padilla, has to be removed from the manager position - and demoted. 

Steve Richie lies, and the presentations given on behalf of the General Manager, Dennis Herrera, are fake. 

Steve Richie never listens to those who speak up during Public Comment at the SFPU Commission meetings.

Steve Richie's good friend and poorly qualified manager of sorts, William Taehan, who is also Steve Richie's golf partner, was caught some years ago watching PORN at work.

William Taehan - should have been terminated - on the contrary, the idiot - is messing with hardworking workers - who do their work and do it well.

William Taehan, who is about to retire, should be terminated and denied his pension. 

He has ruined the lives of many decent workers with his taunts and evil actions.

There is this woman, Joy Chen, from the SFPUC - Human Resources - Labor Relations Analyst, who gathered the work and brainwashed them, fabricating fake situations, and she should not be working anymore.

Frank Jordon and Anthony Travis should be ashamed of themselves - they joined some managers who discriminate and have a track record of disdain for people of color. Both should know better, but have made a fool of themselves.

Theresa Fogolia should have helped Joe King, Conrad King, and Adolfo Padilla - this did not happen. Today, our Union Representatives prefer to look after their own selfish interests.

Our Union Representatives have gone to the hogs. 

For over 40 years, I have backed the Unions - today, most of the Union Representatives are sellouts. 

Joshua Arce is connected to the Union 261; he knows it well -what is right and what is wrong - he keeps kicking the can down the street.

Today, Joshua, as Chairman of the SFPUC, could have resolved this case involving Joe King, Conrad King, and Adolfo Padilla. Joshua Arce has chosen to kick the can down the street.

Dennis Herrera was taken to court, and the Whistle Blower, another attorney who worked under Dennis Herrera when he was the City Attorney, the Whistle Blower won his case - Dennis Herrera lost - and has not learned anything much - your days are numbered.

Gone are the days when Attorneys could come to the rescue of workers - I have 45 years as an advocate, and I see the writing on the wall. God sees it all.

THE SAN FRANCISCO PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION HAS FAILED THOSE THAT WORK AT THE SFPUC - FIRING WORKERS WITHOUT DUE PROCESS AND TRUMPED UP CHARGES.

 

The Hetch Hetchy reservoir, which provides our drinking water.

Check this video - Agenda # 4 - Public Comment:

https://sanfrancisco.granicus.com/player/clip/51038?view_id=22&redirect=true

The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission has failed those who work for them, with the intent of putting many in harm's way, treating workers of color with utter disdain.

Recently, we had three workers, Joe King, Conrad King, and Adolfo Padilla, for no reason other than to bring serious SAFETY issues to the attention of SFPUC managers.

Let me give you an example so you, who are reading this article, can understand the situation at hand.

These workers, who are laborers and come under the UNION 261, were sent with the intent to harm.

Union 261 is refusing to stand beside the three SFPUC workers - SFPUC manager cozy with Union 261; case in point: Thresa, a Union representative, saying, "It is better not to hear anything about your case" to Adolfo Padilla.

The project was slated to clean the reservoir - the certification needed to do this work - mandatory applies and required the managers and authority permission to authorize the work.

More - becuase of all the hazards that surround the work.

The manager does not follow the Standard Operating Procedures or the many policies linked to "Confined Space " projects.

Google and find out the requirements to do such work.

"Confined Space" projects are not meant for those who do not pass certification - to do the work - the managers are busy playing golf and hoodwinking the workers in broad daylight - earning as much as $450,000.

Confined Space work is dangerous - more from exposure to chemicals - one of them being hydrogen sulphide - and if you have respiratory problems, also, as I mentioned, without training and valid certification, what goes on is intent to put workers in harm's way.

The confined space, as in a reservoir, can be as ample as two football fields, often with poor lighting.

Also, prone to situations, difficult to breathe, coupled with the possibility of " hydrogen sulphite," a colorless chemical that can seriously harm the workers and, on many occasions, bring the death of a worker.

Imagine sending the workers into a reservoir - without proper clothing, equipment, breathing apparatus, monitoring equipment, no oxygen provided to help the workers breathe, a series of other mandated requirements that the SFPUC does not have in place, and does not follow Standard Operating Procedures.

SFPUC engineers, health and safety managers, and others have brought complaints, but the managers have failed to address them promptly.

Steve Richie has a habit of giving us presentations and not paying attention to public comments, while treating the SFPUC workers under him with disdain.

Check this out: Public Comment #4

https://sanfrancisco.granicus.com/player/clip/51038?view_id=22&redirect=true

My investigation, going back 40 years, over 400 articles, linked to the many sordid issues linked with SFPUC, wasting millions of dollars.

The Sewer System Improvement Project started with $8 billion and has now reached $15 billion, with plans to reach $25 billion. Only in corrupt San Francisco is such nonsense and utter corruption tolerated - wake up, San Francisco.

It does not bother the SFPUC managers - they hear but do not listen - they do not give a rat's ass. They keep wasting taxpayers' money - the time has come to audit those heading the Clean Water Department and the Water System Improvement Projects.

Paradoxically, Steve Richie, who is the key manager, keeps giving us presentations about Hetch Hetchy reservoir and other reservoirs - reservoirs that should be maintained, cleaned - this does not happen - deferred maintenance is the name of the game.

Also, hundreds of cisterns or wells have had no repairs done - most are not operational - most of the reservoirs and cisterns are not taken care of - Steve Richie prefers deferred maintenance.

It is time for Steve Richie to step down, and his buddy William Taehan to,- who some years ago was written up for watching Porn at work,- and is still working,- and should be fired. He is a troublemaker and instrumental in firing Joe King, his son Conrad King, and Adolfo Padilla.

We want to know why mug shots were posted of Joe King and Adolfo Padilla - while still at work - humiliating both Joe and Adolfo and causing both severe trauma and hospitalization.

Adolfo Padilla took his son to the doctor, as his son needed emergency help. The nurse told Adolfo Padilla that his health benefits had been cancelled by SFPUC - Human Relations. 

Adolfo Padilla had paid his premium, and the cancellation was totally uncalled for - and the General Manager should look into this situation.

Lucky for Adolf,o Paddila came to his rescue and took care of Adolfo's little boy - why do we stoop so low to hit others below the belt?.

Joy Chen from Human Resources went out of her way to gather workers to say mean things and gang up on Joe King and Adolfo Padilla, who, in their right minds, behave like morons. 

Why should Joy Chen be working at SFPUC?

Again and again over the past few years, we have seen hundreds of San Francisco Public Utilities Commission workers fired without cause; this is simply wrong.

We have seen workers traumatized - no one helping them and allowing them to appeal, not even the Civil Service.

The Civil Service makes a point of using City and County of San Francisco attorneys to harass workers.

The workers fired -  made to fill our forms - answers questions that have nothing to do with the workers - kicking the can down the street.

I was forced to take the matter to the SFPU Commissioners - watch the video and see for yourself - the state of affairs - how the goons plan and gang up on innocent, hardworking SFPUC workers:

MILLIONS OF IMMIGRANTS, MILLIONS OF CITIZENS MORE FEDERAL WORKERS, AMERICANS INFANTS, CHILDREN, YOUTH, WOMEN AND MEN, THOSE WITH COMPROMISED HEALTH - ADVERSELY IMPACTED AND MANY SLOWLY DYING.

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Onyk7guvHK8&list=RDOnyk7guvHK8&start_radio=1

Let us all remember Standing Rock; we traveled from San Francisco to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Lakota Nation.

Turtle Island, today known as America, belongs to the indigenous tribes.

One - would not know that - because most Americans do not have a clue about the indigenous tribes and even less about their culture.

The land all of it was stolen, the least one can do is accept the fact that the strangers came and stole the land.

It is a shame that many of us do not respect the indigenous tribes, despite the hand that fed them - the strangers - now bit he hand that fed them.

The strangers who landed on Turtle Island were saved from starvation.

Non one can come into your living room and without you permission - rearrange the furniture and then brag that all the was done did not need anyone's permission - and now belongs to them?

What else is there to say, but what the Elders told us: " do not trust those that speak with a forked tongue".

It is a shame some who have no right have chosen divisiveness - attacking the Constitution - trying to be autocratic.

We no longer have a working bi-partisan government in the United States - each party hates the other for no reason - rather than they belong to a party - that is dysfunctional and has lost its mind.

Common sense calls for a dilogue - common sense calls to communicate - common sense calls to respect one another - and commonon sense calls that all human beings have a right to their freedom.

Talking from both sides of their mouth - and doing their best to bring about utter pandemonium - does one thing for sure - muddy the waters that the fanatics and those who are egotistical maniacs - believe that they and only they are - right.

The U.S. Supreme Court is aiding and abetting those who refuse to abide by the law.

The present United States Executive Branch bullies the Legislative Branch; for all practical purposes, the United States Congress is stagnant, while the Unitied States Judicial Branch gropes in the dark.

No one is above the law—not even the President of the United States.

Today, in the United States corrupt entities are targeting free speech - there can be no Demoracy without free speech -  embedded in the United States Constitution.

No decent America will tolerate a dictator, an autocrat, anyone who will deny any American their right to freedom and free speech.

Make no bones about our free speech and freedom - those that are dividing the United States - are being monitored - do right - and do it now.

The Long Cabin.

The Founding Fathers incorporated many concepts practiced by the indigenous tribes, more specifically the Six Nations and the Iroquois tribe, known for their matriarchal governance, sound discipline, and pride in their culture to this day.

Indigenous tribes traveled from one location to another for approximately 20,000 years. 

The indigenous tribes took care of the land and called is Mother Land. You do not hear the strangers use the words Mother Land - what does this one fact - tell you about those who are greedy and want to amass material things and worship materialism.

Then came the sordid strangers - greedy to the core - and destroyed and contaminated all that was pristine.

Americans today are so confused that they have forgotten the importance of the United States Constitution, which was created as an experiment  - ensuring checks and balances.

Branches of the United States government, be it the Legislative Branch, the Executive Branch, or the Judicial Branch, are separate but equally responsible in the governance of the United States of America.

Today, we Americans, numbering 341 million from all walks of life and nationalities, must come together as one and uplift one another. 

We have had many wars - the Civil War and more - many laid their lives to attain freedom here at home and abroad - putting their lives on the line, notably World War II. 

Europe is what it is today because of America - some have forgotten its history and chosen to bite the hand that fed Europe, including the Marshall Plan and other programs.

America is vast, spanning some 3,717,812.8 square miles. America has always beckoned the best minds worldwide, offering one-of-a-kind opportunities to contribute to the United States and to the betterment of the world.

After World War II, numerous programs were established to bring the world together and promote unity and upliftment for all. The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) stands out for its significant contributions to helping those in need. Today, this program has been gutted by folks who have lost their mind in the White House.

We, Americans, have distributed medicines and come to the aid of countries struck by pandemics, helping them focus on eradicating these diseases worldwide.

Over the last 80 years, America has done what was best for all humanity. However, over the past 20 years, America has chosen to interfere, aiding and abetting certain nations, and compromising Its Own values.

We provide Israel with bombs, ammunition, missiles, technology - today Israel has compromised its values and is widely known as a priah nation - of course, the United States is complicit.

How many thousand innocent Palestinian infants, children, youth, young adults, our Elders, women, and men - those with compromised health - must die, in a genocide?

Those complicit will receive their punishment - it is called and known as  " Karma". 

America played a key role when COVID-19 was surging all over the world, and our Centers for Disease Control and Prevention worldwide took measures - America saved millions of lives.

The United States has consistently provided assistance to countries worldwide.

America rescued Europe after World War II and continued to provide assistance to many countries for decades, offering support in areas such as food, medicine, technology, education, transportation, and expert guidance to bring about lasting change. 

The present administration in the White House has turned its back and chosen to allow millions to die in Darfur, Sudan, Ethiopia, Kenya, Afghanistan, South America, and every nation where USAID played a key role in addressing quality of life issues. No more.

The flag of the United States of America.

OUR DEMOCRACY IS IN MELT-DOWN - WITH THE CLOWN IN THE WHITE HOUSE - FAVORING TARIFFS, NO MAIL-IN VOTING, FIRING JUDGES, TARGETING IMMIGRANTS WITHOUT CAUSE - ACTING LIKE A FOOL.

 

We have a felon in the White House.

A chronic liar, cheat, and a person who cannot be trusted. 

Why does this person not believe in our Constitution?

So, why are we afraid of this jackass?

Most of us are not educated on issues - most of us do not fact the empirical data - most of us cannot stand our ground - becuase we not want to do the heavy lifting.

It is now or never - the autocract has to be stopped - Lisa Cook has managed to stay on the job - the autocract can pull his hair and teeth - the Federal Reserve Bank - will stand by the people as it has in the past.

Donald Trump will soon have to pay back trillions of dollars - illegal tariffs that the idiot has chosen to deal with - and muddy the waters. Tariffs are do not help our nation - in fact it brings about divisiveness of the worst order.

In the mean time the world is laughing at the clown who lives in the White House - daily eating fast foods while his health goes down the drain - and his brain favoring halucination of the worst order.

At last, even the Republicans realize that we Americans are in dire straits. 

Putin has taken Donald for a ride in broad daylight. 

Today, September 1, 2025 - Putin is supposed to report to Donald. Is Putin going to meet the Ukrainian President?

So far, not a whimper - Donald is waiting - Waiting for Godot!

We have only one recourse - unite and vote the idiot who lives in the White House today out. Coming this November, we will witness the drama—and if all goes well, the autocrat will fall flat on his face. Aho.     

Enough is enough. Our immigrants come to the United States, once better known as Turtle Island, to live a better life.

It is simply wrong to blame our immigrants when, from the early 1950s, millions of immigrants were granted temporary working permits.

I know some immigrants - who have had these temporary permits for over 40 years - married, had children, all born in the United States - and now the elders are called out for being undocumented, and threatened that they will be deported.

The Immigration System that exists today in the United States is broken. While many have been given benefits for some temporary stay, others have contributed millions of dollars to the Social Security system and do not receive any benefits.

The present Administration is challenging the Supreme Court, taking law and order into its own hands, and we will see, come November 2025, what the outcome will be and how the Republicans fare - most will fall flat on their faces.

The indigenous people of Turtle Island are the only ones who can say they have every right to live here, as they have been on Turtle Island for over 20,000 years.

It is a joke the whities think they own Turtle Island - when far from the truth - they are strangers.

Truth be told, the Founding Fathers took a great interest in the indigenous tribes.

The Founding Fathers met and discussed the way the Iroquois managed their affairs, the Long House, and the matriarchal system that had been in place for thousands of years.

The Founding Fathers incorporated elements of the Iroquois Government and tribal governance. However, we do not teach this history in our schools and other institutions of learning, keeping most Americans ignorant, and often making those who are uneducated arrogant.

Our Founding Fathers, after the defeat of the British, did not want to have anything to do with Kings or Queens.

Our Founding Fathers chose to create a Constitution and openly proclaimed that it would have checks and balances. 

The Founding Fathers sought complete transparency in the three branches of government—the Judicial branch, the legislative branch, and the executive branch—each separate and equal.

The Founding Fathers also mandated that Congress create and monitor specific laws that all followed - no one is above the law, not even the President of the United States.

In recent years, we saw what happened to President Richard Nixon - he was indicted, charged, and had to step down.

We failed to do so with the present clown who thinks he is King - no American will bow to a King, let alone a King who is a fool.

We kicked out the British - only to deal with a Buffoon who lives in the White House. No one respects this fool. The sooner he steps down and fades into oblivion, the better.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has been at the forefront of addressing various diseases based on scientific evidence.

The present head that Donald Trump has anointed is another idiot from the Kennedy family - the Kennedy family itself does not respect Robert Kennedy Jr., who has no clue about diseases, and even less about vaccines.

We all remember millions dying during Donald Trump's first term, saying: "When the sun shines, the Covid-19 pandemic would faze out".

Vaccines save lives. We all remember how vaccines saved millions worldwide linked to the polio disease - the vaccines created by Dr. Jonas Salk - I know this for a fact - as I was afflicted by polio and have overcome it - I now wear a brace - and my left leg suffers from atrophy that I can handle.

The COVID-19 vaccines have saved millions worldwide, in the United States and other countries, as they work together to send COVID-19 vaccines to save lives.

It makes no sense to deprive those who are vulnerable of the help we can give them from COVID-19 and other diseases by giving them vaccines and restoring their health.

Much like Donald Trump, Robert Kennedy Jr is a narcissist, and these characters love to witness others dying and suffering.

Leading doctors working for the CDC have resigned - the best minds in the world when it comes to dealing with vaccines and related issues. 

These doctors, who can work anywhere in the world, can make a significant impact and hopefully will go elsewhere to continue their work and make a lasting difference.

In the interim, Donald Trump, his lackeys, and a narcissist like Robert Kennedy Jr. should fade into oblivion - they are not worth the salt.

Worldwide, many are wondering what is happening to the CDC's meltdown - what is wrong with the White House and the individual who makes statements and releases press releases that make no sense.

Wake up America, vote - and when you vote this time - check the record of those who want to deprive us of our FREEDOM.

The idiot in the White House and his lackeys - following the details linked to Project 2025.

Two leading jackasses, Steven Miller and Russel Vought, are at the helm of the sordid plans, backed by millions of dollars.

The two have their own podcast and are given free rein to destroy wherever there is some semblance - they are busy causing confusion and utter pandemonium.

We all must unite and we all must resist - it is now or never - these parasites must be dealt with - they attack our Constitution - they do not believe in law and order - they bring the National Guard and the United States Army to the streets - to intimidate citizens and other - armed militia - we are a democracy - the people united will never, ever be defeated.

The White House has disdain for the immigrants who do not have documentation - our Constitution mandates that if there are issues, the matter must be brought before the courts. 

Never mind what the problem is.

The indigenous tribes of Turtle Island are the only ones who can make a strong statement about whose land this is, now named the United States.

For sure, we know the strangers stole the land, and think that they are right when they are wrong, and should respect the indigenous people.

Every indigenous tribe should be acknowledged and put on the Federal Register.

Every human being who is here on Turtle Island should be treated with respect and has the right to live in peace.

By and large, immigrants do not break the law; others do, and that is on them. 

We have the courts to deal with those who break the law.

Stop kidnapping innocent people on flimsy charges - deprive those kidnapped an opportunity to come before a judge - and think that one can send the innocent to Sudan, to El Salvador, the Republic of Congo, Uganda, somewhere else, and think you fanatics will not be dealt with.

We have a person in the White House who is a felon, a fanatic, and indicted on 34 counts - and thinks he can say and do as he pleases.

Let it be known - no one is above the law.

It is time Congress takes a stand and does right - follow the Constitution and keep the autocrats at bay.

Wake up, America - thank you all those who protest - and speak truth to power. Aho.

Chief Joseph - the trail of tears.

The indigenous people all over the world have shared their wisdom: take less and leave more for those who live amongst us.

Mother Earth must be respected, and what Mother Earth gives us must be shared and cared for - our forest, the rivers and lakes, the hills and mountains - all that we see and witness daily - here on Turtle Island. 

We must allow ourselves to be spiritual and not let fanatics dictate that others must follow their lead. Those who are spiritual possess empathy, believe in the importance of good actions, and speak truth to power.

Today, the United States has been flooded with lies, cheating, defying the courts, ill-treating immigrants, showing no empathy for our infants, children, youth, young adults, single mothers, those with compromised health, and the mentally and physically challenged.

Worldwide, Americans are no longer held in high regard.

One idiot - that I will not name but lives in the White House has taken us backwards - anyone who welcomes Putin, a thug and murderer, who the International Courts have a warrant - and the idiot invites him on land, be it Alaska, which was once Russian land - but now part of the United States of America.

That Summit was a joke - Putin made sure he played his sordid law and gave nothing away. In fact, he went back to Russia and sent more drones and missiles - killing more Ukrainians - and causing more damage to civilians, who should not be harmed.

In war, there is the " law of proportionality " that Russia and Putin do not give a rat's ass - Putin has no right to kill innocent infants, children, the innocent elders, and thousands of decent Ukrainians.

At last, the European Union has united and will provide Ukrainians with the necessary assets to continue the war against Russia and achieve victory.

Our idiot who lives in the White House talks from both sides of his mouth and is a disgrace to the human race.

No one is above the law - and slowly but surely, the Federal Judges have warned the idiot to stay in his lane. In fact, get out of the way - no one who is intelligent and decent respects the idiot that now lives in the White House.

Come November, the idiot will be defeated - and those that need to be in place - will stand for our Constitution, for standards and ethics - and rid the idiot once and for all. Aho.

Chief Sitting Bull.

Today, our economy is in dire straits.

Under President Joe Biden, our economy was better - today it is in a mess - the poor are starving, and added to it, soon over 20 million will lose their health benefits.

The rich do not need money; however, the clown in the White House is favoring the filthy rich, and the clown and his family have amassed vast sums of money, as well as billions in cryptocurrency.

The clown anointed himself as the President of the cryptocurrency - he is also the head of the Kennedy Center - and wants to name it for himself or his wife.

The clown wants the Nobel Prize to be given to him on a platter.

Worldwide, the clown is known for his stupidity and has brought shame to the United States - when will this nonsense stop?

In the interim, our Elders, our infants, our children, our youth, women, and men - those with compromised health, more of those mentally and physically challenged - are adversely impacted.

The fool invited Russian President Putin, and the Russian plays the fool, and the fool has no clue what it means to have a summit. The Summit had an objective, except that the fool proclaims he is a deal maker.

The fool had declared bankruptcy six times. His real estate is in a mess - he owes people who have worked for him millions of dollars.

He loves to intimidate innocent folks and bully entities - making them pay millions - bribes that we Americans do not condone.

America is in dire straits, and the sooner the fool steps down and fades into oblivion, the better.

The Epstein episode clearly exposes White Trash - and how they behave, and more, how they have no ethics, less morals, and are pathetic.

Decent Americans do not adhere to pedophiles and do not accept molesting underage girls or boys - anyone participating in such actions must be brought to book.

Time for all of us to speak Truth to Power.

Thanks to the many protesters who are standing for what is right.

It is a shame that millions of decent federal workers have been fired and millions have been made to suffer, losing their health benefits.

We will not accept Autocrats - we will not bow down to idiots - for sure not the idiot who lives in the White House.

We tax our immigrants, and have accumulated billions of dollars, over 100 billion dollars, paid by undocumented immigrants.

To be fair, this money must be accounted for.

Let us not believe in the fool from the White House, who has not paid his taxes.

The idiot was brought to court and made to pay his dues - shame on the fool and those who admire this egotistical maniac. 

Indicted on 34 counts - known rapists, molesters, cheats, liars, not to be trusted - and a shame to the human race.

Let us not think for a moment that we can look the other way and not vote in November. 

Before that, we have to prepare ourselves. 

Let us not take anything for granted. 

Let us not be fast asleep at the cockpit.
