Who would trust Alex Hern?
Hern sounds like he got his degree and training in high level scamming from Trump U. I betcha Hern would be welcome with open arms in the Trump WH.... He would probably get a Cabinet Post and or Special Title "Special Assistant and Advisor to the President of the US... Hern is probably and improvement on many in the Trump Family and inner circle..— June 21, 2018 6:20 p.m.

President pardons San Diegan D’Souza
Other experts say Trump, his lawyers and surrogates are signalling to Manafort and others by Pardons of others and loose talk on TV shows that if they keep their mouths shut, then they might get Pardons...Rudy G has been a complete imbecile in blabbing this all over and, in my opinion, may have crossed over the line and put himself in legal jeapardy also... Promising Pardons to keep witnesses quiet is witness tampering, Obstruction and Abuse of Power...All Impeachable offenses..— June 16, 2018 4:22 a.m.
President pardons San Diegan D’Souza
There are mountains of evidence even already in the public eye to bring down Trump, his family and his entire administration. The latest is a detailed analysis of the publicly known evidence against Manafort that clearly shows conspiracy and collusion with Russian Oligarchs tied to Putin and Russian intelligence. And, Manafort's bail was just revoked and he was sent to prison awaiting trial for witness tampering and trying to get their stories straight, Federal Prosecutors think that a few weeks in a hard core prison will have Manfort throwing in the towel, making a deal to turn/testify against Trump and others.

Qualcomm secretly contacted U.S. government
Investors can always find a lawyer to sue on these type cases...Let the meters run. Win or lose, I am sure these cases pay very good $$$$ Much better than chasing auto accident cases or squirrelly insurance companies..Many investment speculators on both sides of the fence: the shorters and those seeking a rise in the stock prices of Qualcomm will sue either way: If the deal goes through OR if the deal is killed. This Qualcomm/Broadcom deal was doomed from the beginning based on national security grounds. I could see a huge disadvantageous outcome for San Diego, California and the US economy and US National Defense. I read somewhere that Broadcomm was using Chinese Communist government funds in the Qualcomm merger deal. The Politbureau wanted to get its hands on this vital US technology. China usually tries to steal it not buy it. Blocking the merger likely sends Chinese intelligence "underground" to try to steal the Qualcomm technology that they could not buy here/— June 16, 2018 4:05 a.m.
Qualcomm secretly contacted U.S. government
Have similar complaints about auto spell checks...It is notoriously bad posting from an Android device...It will completely change surnames and 1st names it does not recognize as common names...It will change words in sentences it does not recognize...It will put misspellings on words that are not simple..It will jumble sentences...when you are posting and change the context of what you are posting...I have gone back to posts and been very surprised at some post I carefully proof read that was botched and changed by Android auto correct...If you know how to turn it off, then let me know....— June 16, 2018 3:54 a.m.
Rincon-related mobster DiFronzo dies
Am not a fan of Silberman or Golding...Golding appeared to be either in way over her head both on the Board of Supervisors as Mayor of San Diego...OR just doing the bidding of the SD Downtown Republican establishment instead of doing what was right for the voters of SD...........Just what the Downtown business establishment loves in their elected officials in the SD Region. Golding's backroom deal naming rights from Jack Murphy Stadium to Qualcomm was one of the absolute worst stadium naming rights deals in the country...18M fee for 20 years of naming rights?! I think the going rate was 20M per year for an NFL & MLB stadium at the time?!?! Golding ended up with a Cushy VP job at Qualcomm for her efforts after leaving the Mayor's office....No investigation of a possible Quid Pro Quo there?!?! And, wasn't Golding the Mayor who made the notoriously bad Chargers ticket guarantee deal that cost taxpayers 10's of millions of dollars that also allowed the Chargers to opt out of their stadium deal and leave San Diego?!?!— June 16, 2018 3:47 a.m.
Rincon-related mobster DiFronzo dies
Chris Petti story. I was invited to a San Diego BBQ years ago. A friend of mine had a friend, unbeknownst to me, that was from little Italy who, apparently, had some unsavory contacts and associates. He invited a friend of his and his wife to the BBQ. I was introduced to them and it turns out the guy was Chris Petti and his wife. At that time, I didn't even know who the h*** Chris Petty was. They were very polite to me and I did not know them or what others knew about them. The named sounded like I had heard it someplace before ..maybe from the newspaper or something. Turns out, the Chris Petty I was, inadvertently, introduced to was that notorious mobster that Don has written about and mentioned here. My friends gave me a hard time because they know me as more of a straight arrow and to go to a BBQ and meet a criminal mobster was something they did not let me live down...— June 16, 2018 3:33 a.m.
Spanos family could be worth almost $5 billion
The only Spanos with any business sense was the founder Patriarch Alex...The sons and grandsons appear to be complete duds living off NFL subsidies, shared TV revenues and the inflated value of the Charges as a result of limited supply and the NFL's multi billion dollar shared TV contract. Just a decent ownership group would have insisted on hiring a top notch coach during the Bobby Beatherd (sp) Era. Charges had what 10-13 Pro Bowlers for a few years until they all began to bolt for greener pastures?! Norv Turner was widely known in the league as a competent coordinator who was not head coaching material. And how many assistant coaches of the Chargers bolted to be Head Coaches elsewhere?!?! like Sean Peyton Saints--won Superbowl and Ron Rivera Carolina made a Super Bowl...— June 16, 2018 3:19 a.m.
