THE GRIEVANCE INDUSTRY: WERE L. A. NAACP HONORS SOLD TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER BY A DISGRACED, DISBARRED JUDGE WHO TOOK BRIBES? Posted: 01 May 2014 07:03 PM PDT In citing the reasons for awarding Donald Sterling the NAACP’s Lifetime Achievement Award during a press conference, Chapter President, Leon Jenkins claimed that among the sports franchises that supported the L.A. Chapter of the NAACP, Sterling’s Clippers stood out from the rest. Among the other teams he cited were the “Redwings.  Redwings? – not a local club. So looking up the Detroit Redwings, we found that Jenkins had a long association with Detroit. Who is Leon Jenkins, the man who heads up the Los Angeles Chapter of the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) and who was preparing to award racist Donald Sterling, owner of the NBA Clippers franchise, the NAACP’s Lifetime Achievement Award? According to Michigan and California records, Jenkins, a former district court judge in Detroit, was indicted in 1988 in federal court for bribery, racketeering, mail fraud, extortion, and conspiracy. He was acquitted, but the Michigan Supreme Court removed him from the bench in 1991 based on evidence that he “systematically and routinely sold his office,” including taking bribes to dismiss traffic tickets, accepting gifts from attorneys who appeared before him, and using his office to secure the release of a personal acquaintance without legal justification. In addition, legal and state bar records show, he lied about his home address to secure lower auto insurance premiums, solicited an individual to commit perjury during a federal investigation of his conduct, and engaged in improper private conversations with counsel during the course of trials. In 1994, he was disbarred in Michigan, meaning that he could not work as a lawyer. In 2001, he was disbarred in California, where he had been practicing law as a plaintiff’s lawyer and civil rights attorney since 1991, because of his misconduct in Michigan. Unable to practice law, Jenkins has engaged in a number of business ventures, including a financial services product called Freedom Card Inc. that was ultimately abandoned, according to federal trademark records.Since 2004, he has been the vice president of and a consultant to a restaurant, Smokehouse, owned by a personal friend, Leland Spencer, according to California State Bar records. He has also received income from Warehouse, a second restaurant owned by Spencer.  <Source: Read: “From Detroit to LA, NAACP prez has history of ‘selling out’ – Michigan Citizen.” What better way for a disgraced and disbarred Detroit Judge to continue making money than to move West and join the race-hustlers in the grievance industry. It appears that the NAACP’ 100th Anniversary is marred by the inappropriate selection of benefactors … Not surprising that we find a disbarred Judge handing out another prestigious award to a business crony, Leland Spencer, owner of the Smokehouse, and Warehouse restaurants. How much does an award cost? While the cumulative totals are not available, media is reporting that Sterling’s contribution appears to be a paltry $5,000 – probably less than an advertising buy in the Los Angeles Times to trumpet the event and its sponsor. Leon Jenkins continues to try to reacquire he law license … California’s State Bar Association pulled his California law license in 2001 even though Jenkins claimed that his NAACP and pro bono work should be considered as mitigating factors. As if public corruption in Detroit wouldn’t or couldn’t spill over to California. In the Matter of  LEON JENKINS, Petitioner for Reinstatement -- Case No. 12-R-13895  OPINION – Filed April 9, 2014  This is Leon Jenkins’ second petition for reinstatement to practice law in this state. His earlier serious transgressions as a judge in Detroit led to his removal from the bench and Michigan disbarment, followed by his California disbarment in October 2001. The hearing judge below denied Jenkins’ petition, having concluded that he failed to establish his rehabilitation from his past misconduct or that he presently possesses the necessary moral qualifications for reinstatement. The judge reached this conclusion based on Jenkins’ recent misconduct, including, inter alia, his failure to disclose material information in his reinstatement petition and in divorce papers he filed in the superior court, his affirmative misrepresentations in two apartment rental applications, and his recent conviction for reckless driving involving alcohol. Jenkins is appealing the hearing judge’s decision. He contends that his significant good character evidence and substantial community involvement demonstrate that he has been rehabilitated from his past misdeeds and presently possesses the requisite rehabilitation and moral fitness for reinstatement. The Office of the Chief Trial Counsel of the State Bar (OCTC) requests that we affirm the hearing judge Upon our independent review of the record (Cal. Rules of Court, rule 9.12), we conclude that Jenkins failed to meet his heavy burden of proving by clear and convincing evidence his rehabilitation and present moral qualifications to practice law in California. As detailed below, Jenkins has continued to engage in acts of dishonesty, many of which are minor when viewed in isolation. But, when taken as a whole, his conduct calls into question his fitness to practice law. Given the gravity of his earlier transgressions, we continue to apply the most rigorous level of scrutiny of his conduct, and in so doing, we agree with the hearing judge that Jenkins’ petition for reinstatement should be denied. Source: California Bar Association Community leader my ass … It appears that Jenkins positions himself as a community leader and racial advocate – more like racist for profit – much in the same manner that Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are decent honorable men of the cloth. (Yeah Right!) The latter two being nothing but two-bit race hustlers who trade individual and corporate absolution and public forgiveness for a profit. Bottom line … While I am constitutionally opposed to anything like hyphenated-Americans, it is a shame that our leadership, no matter what the party, race, ethnicity, color, gender, or sexual orientation is so damn self-serving and corrupt. Pandering to the special interests that pay the bills and reap the quid pro quo rewards. It is time to throw these douchebags off the gravy train, starting with the progressive socialist democrats in the House and the Senate and then restoring constitutional checks and balances to re-track a Presidency gone amok with unconstitutional signing orders. It is also time to disband those organizations who stir-up and promote racial animosity for profit. Lenton Aikins: my choice for the new head of the L.A. Chapter of the NAACP … If I had a vote in the L.A. Chapter of the NAACP, I would select Lenton Aikins, civil rights attorney and noted author (While African Americans Slept: Leadership by Parasites), and a lifetime member of the NAACP, for the position. It is time to bring back civility, competence, and conservatism in civil rights. -- steve Related articles Do Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson See Racist Rant of Nba Owner As a Profit and Media Opportunity?

THE DNC WANTS TO KNOW WHAT I THINK ... SO I WILL TELL THEM WITHOUT SENDING ANY MONEY Posted: 30 Apr 2014 07:03 PM PDT I still find it amazing that someone’s computer system thinks I am a democrat and support Barack Obama. However, nothing can be further from the truth as I abhor President Obama and his cadre of progressive socialist democrats who appear to act as a fifth column, destroying America from within with their lawless and unconstitutional rules and regulations. SECTION II: PRESIDENTIAL PRIORITIES (Yes, No, Undecided) 1. Do you support President Obama's goal of comprehensive immigration reform this year? [I cannot support any program that does not put first things first. First, enumerating the number of illegal aliens now present in our country by providing the opportunity to register, as the law states, as an illegal alien. There should be a definite period, beyond which no further registrations will be allowed and any unregistered illegal alien subject to deportation. Second, by re-working Social Security Numbers into a secure and self-checking number; one that is compatible with existing numbers during the transaction period. I have detailed the methodology for doing this in another blog entry. Third, preparing an environmental impact report that details economic, social, medical, and employment impacts. And, only when these steps are completed and a plan to control in-and-out visas, and protect our borders is verifiably implemented, do we being the process of comprehensive immigration reform. In one scenario, current residents will be given renewable residency and work documents for a period of ten years … they will never be granted citizenship or voting privileges. After a single generation, since all of their children would be legal Americans, the problems disappears completely.] 2. Do you support President Obama's plan to increase the minimum wage for America's workers? [I am opposed to increasing the minimum wage, especially for entry-level and low-skilled jobs that are not meant to be the basis of a permanent career. Instead, I would provide English and trade school vouchers to help people earn a decent wage.] 3. Do you support the President's goal of ending tax loopholes for companies that ship jobs overseas and to provide incentives for companies that create American jobs? [I am for reforming the tax code, possibly a flat tax, and the repatriation of profits held overseas. I am for incentives for companies that verifiably create new American jobs and not the type of incentives that subsidize Hollywood productions.] 4. Do you support President Obama's plans to close the wage gap and make it possible for women to receive equal pay for equal work? [This is a phony issue and women that appear to make less the men may have taken time out of the career to pursue home, family, and other interests. If Obama wants to fix the gender pay gap, let him start in the White House and his Administrative Agencies.] 5. President Obama presented a plan that will allow American workers to gain the modern job skills necessary to compete in the global economy. Do you support these efforts? [No, I do not support these efforts because they are pure, unadulterated bullshit. That is, our educational system continues to turn out more functional illiterates year after year and cannot be trusted to train any workers. College has become a joke and trade schools simply government funding magnets.] 6. Do you support President Obama's plan to reduce carbon pollution, accelerate the development of clean energy, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and invest in sustainable and resilient infrastructure projects to prepare for the effects of climate change? [Carbon dioxide is not a pollutant. The President’s Green Initiatives are fraught with cronyism and fraud. And, there is nothing sustainable or reliable in the area of wind and solar power that can provide for the capacity required by a modern industrialized society. What is needed is a full-on push to nuclear energy – without the cronyism and corrupt contracting that makes nuclear plants unsafe.] 7. Do you support the President's proposal to provide help to those who have faced long-term unemployment? [Hell no – giving workers almost two years to find a job is a disincentive to become gainfully employed. These people could have completed a college program in this time – and yet most of them are working in the underground economy or sitting on their asses while we work.] SECTION III: REPUBLICANS/TEA PARTY 1. When it comes to Republicans/Tea Party and the 2014 elections, which are you most concerned with (choose up to two)?  Republicans keeping the House of Representatives Republicans taking back the U.S. Senate Republicans winning more gubernatorial seats Other _____________ [I want the Republicans to restore constitutional checks and balances by keeping the House and taking back the Senate. Removing that corrupt POS Harry Reid in the process. Don’t forget,Obamacare was passed by a rule trick and many radical progressive socialist democrat judges have been appointed and confirmed by Reid’s Rules-Majority.] 2. Which do you believe was the most egregious action of the Republican House in 2013 (choose up to three)? Forcing the government shutdown that cost the nation $24 billion Blocking commonsense gun safety legislation Blocking Paycheck Fairness Act Voting for the 46th time to gut Obamacare Voting to cut food stamps by $40 billion Other ___________ [Most egregious act of the House was not impeaching President Obama for unconstitutional, and possibly criminal, activities. Lying to the American people is just another good reason to throw Obama and Biden out of office along with all the other progressive socialist democrats and their RINO cohorts. BTW, the thought of John Boehner becoming the president makes me ill.] 3. Do you believe the Republican/Tea Party majority in the House of Representatives will heed President Obama's call for cooperation, or continue their attempts to obstruct his agenda? The Republicans will demonstrate greater cooperation The Republicans will continue to obstruct Undecided [Any act to obstruct Obama’s radical progressive socialist democrat agenda should be viewed as an act of patriotism.] 4. Is it important to you to put a Democratic majority back into the House of Representatives and increase Democratic leadership at all levels in 2014? ___Yes ___No (If "Yes/' please complete section four. If No, your survey is complete. Thank you. [Democrat leadership – from Obama down to the other progressive socialist democrats – is an oxymoron. It is vitally important to stop progressive socialist democrats in their tracks and to reverse the national tide of corruption, decay, and pandering to non-citizens and foreign governments.] SECTION IV: DEMOCRATIC PARTY PRIORITIES 1. Please rank the following 6 political goals for the Democratic Party by their level of priority. Mark the appropriate number by each goal, with the number 1 signifying most important and the number 6 signifying least important. Combating Republican obstructionism in the House of Representatives Protecting progress achieved by President Obama Winning Democratic victories at the state level Retaking the House of Representatives in 2014 Protecting our majority in the Senate Electing a new Democratic President in 2016 Other _______________________________________ [It is the height of self-serving hypocrisy that the progressive socialist democrats would cite republican obstructionism in the House and fail to mention Harry Reid’s complete and total obstructionism in the more important Senate. Again, the progressive socialist democrats, at all levels, have proven themselves to be corrupt, incompetent, and bad for America and all Americans. The thought of electing a lying, loser, Marxist like Hillary Clinton to run a chill up every decent American’s spine.] 2. As we look to our 2014 election work, we have identified four key priority areas. Please rank them by their level of priority, with the number 1 signifying the most important and the number 4 signifying least important. Strengthening state parties Maintaining and building our digital edge over the Republicans/Tea Party Expanding access to the ballot box so people aren't turned away at the polls Holding Republicans accountable for their reprehensible agenda while promoting our Democratic priorities and plans Other _________________________ [Scary … the progressive socialist democrats control California, Illinois, Michigan, and New York – and look what progressives have done to these states – maximum taxes and corruption with reduced public services, transparency, and accountability. As for the digital edge – one my think in terms of creepy tracking and spying. Access to the ballot box is a joke as so many dead people have voted for progressive socialist democrats that they could become the second coming. When picture ID is necessary for bank accounts, flying, purchasing alcohol, and many other things – it is not unreasonable to demand picture id when voting. Why did progressive socialist democrat Attorney General Eric Holder fail to prosecute the New Black Panthers for blatant election violations? If any progressive socialist democrat mentions accountability in the Obama Administration, you know they are lying.] 3. How do you plan to help Democrats win in 2014 (check all that apply)? Volunteer Canvass Phone bank Register voters Monitor polls  Put up a yard sign or bumper sticker Hold a fundraiser Make contributions Other _____________________________ [Not an effing thing!] Please tell us what is on your mind about current Republican/Tea Party actions, President Obama's efforts, and the upcoming 2014 elections. [The progressive socialist democrats and their RINO cohorts must be stopped before they destroy America from within and institute a totalitarian-like socialist state.] Bottom line … The progressive socialist democrats do not give a rat’s ass about your opinion. They want your money and voter support. After the election, they will ignore you and continue to service themselves and their special interests. -- steve
