I’m of the mind – in fact I’ll put money down on it – that District 6 Councilman and “play mayor” Trevor O’Neil will be the Klepto-Republican candidate for Mayor this fall. The Cabal, wounded and harried as it may be, abhors a vacuum at the top of the ticket, and at this point the Play Mayor is the best they could do.
Realtor Paul Kott tells me that in mid-May, shortly after Sidhu resigned, both Trevor and Gloria Ma’ae called him and begged him to run for Mayor in November. (I guess Gloria and Paul share that SOAR connection.) “You’re the ONLY REPUBLICAN who could beat Ashleigh Aitken!” Paul was not interested and still is not interested in running for Mayor in November, but it was nice to learn they’re so worried about Ashleigh.
Of course that was mid-May. In mid-June Paul asked to be considered for the interim Mayor position (from now till December), and only Avelino supported him. Paul thinks Gloria and Trevor soured on him because he wouldn’t leverage an interim position for a November run. But I think it’s more that Trevor was enjoying being Play Mayor too much.
Back to May 17, the first meeting Trevor got to preside over, as Mayor Pro-Tem, after Sidhu’s Great Disgrace the day before. First move Trevor made was to rudely try to shut Dr. Moreno up. But then he was startled to see he didn’t have a single backup vote for that! Every other member voted to let Jose talk. Since then he’s checked himself and has started to run meetings in a fair and good-natured way, and seems more and more to be auditioning for the real job.
It was at that meeting, too, that we noticed how differently Trevor and Steve Faessel seemed to react to the FBI bombshells. Trevor slid seamlessly into the “shocked, shocked, all Sidhu’s fault, what a disappointment, now let’s continue with business as usual” mode, while the Catholic Faessel furrowed his brow and fretted how there was a “cloud over all of us,” and even backed some Moreno proposals. The two newer cabal members, Gloria Ma’ae and Jose Diaz, looking shell-shocked, took their cues from Steve at first, but have gradually begun to feel safe following the Fearless Trevor.
And it was only three days later – that Friday – that we caught Trevor having lunch with the new Chamber CEO, Matt Cunningham’s wife, at King’s Fish House. It would have been interesting to hear them planning how to move forward together with their “good work” without getting in as much trouble as their mentors Sidhu and Ament. And also, was this before or after Trevor called Paul Kott?
After the Sidhu resignation, the Council was constitutionally required to appoint an interim Mayor, but… they just didn’t. They couldn’t all agree on anyone, and it really seems like the majority is happy with the status quo, letting Trevor continue as “Mayor Pro Tem” even though he’s not technically even that. This allows him to continue his six-month audition, and then in the fall run as Mayor Pro Tem while all the glossy IE mailers sing out his praises for having “led Anaheim through its darkest hours.”
Is this all the proof I have of Trevor running for Mayor? Aw, HELL no!
Just last night friends of ours got telephone-surveyed (and it wasn’t from Ashleigh, we know that) – “If the election were held today, would you support Ashleigh Aitken, Trevor O’Neil, Lorri Galloway, or Jose Diaz?” (Jose Diaz? Now that’s a weird idea! A mayor even harder to understand than Sidhu? Is he actually thinking of it? Or are they just trying out a Latino name? Or do they think voters will confuse him with Moreno?)
“Well, Vern, why don’t you just ASK TREVOR if he’s gonna run for Mayor?” Well, I DID, up at the July 4 parade in the Hills. And all he did was laugh. And then tell his girlfriend that I’m part of a “group that comes to Council meetings to COMPLAIN about EVERYTHING!” And then tell me that he heard Fitzgerald had passed away (which isn’t true, but Denis IS in poor health.)
His self-regard in the “no-deficit” zone, his AMBITION radiating like a hippie radiates patchouli, Trevor O’Neil will be announcing for Mayor between now and August 12, or I’ll eat this hat.
Fear of an Honest Hari!
My good friend, corporate attorney and pro-bono immigrant advocate Hari Shankar Lal, had jumped into the race for District 6 thinking he’d be running against Trevor, but now we’re both thinking it’ll probably be someone else – most likely Sergio Gonzalez who WAS running for that seat 4 years ago before being elbowed out of the way by Trevor “NOT ON MY WATCH!” O’Neil. (Or – crazy thought – could they pull out Kris Murray?)
I’m running out of time here – got a big Clean Up Anaheim Coalition event coming up – but I just wanted to share some of the evidence of the terror that Trevor and the Cabal share, their Terror of an Honest Hari!
1. Hari had mentioned on his OCWD application that he was a “member of both the 9th Circuit Court and the Supreme Court” which in lawyer-speak means he qualified to argue before BOTH those high courts and HAS done so. Someone with access to Hari’s application (Trevor?) had someone else confront Hari at a community meeting to call him a liar, because he had looked him up and he did NOT have that distinction! The guy had to apologize though – he’d looked up Hari with the last name of “Shankar” instead of LAL – LOL! Hari’s claim was in fact TRUE.
2. The lady at the State Bar, who’s been friendly with Hari for many years, finally had to call him after receiving TWENTY-THREE INQUIRIES from Anaheim about any discipline or illegalities or anything else in Hari’s long record that could be used against him – was he ever accused of cheating a client? “What the hell is going on, Hari?” He explained that he was running for Council against some very dirty opponents. No worries, he’s never even had a parking ticket.
3. And at the same time, and with just as little success, there were 17 inquires to the OC Bar.
4. For Hari to get into the Anaheim Hills 4th of July Parade was … like pulling teeth. I almost wanted to write “literally,” but not LITERALLY literally. Close though – he had to show up to the Chamber, after weeks of unanswered calls and e-mails, with a prepared writ of mandamus for injunctive relief, before they’d let him in the parade. And then he was scolded that it couldn’t be “political” (even though you see Trevor’s entry above) so he agreed it would only mention his law firm and convinced them the checkmarks by his surname LAL were only part of his logo!
More on Mr. Lal in the near future…
“How does your light shine, when you’re Hari Shankar Lal?”

UPDATE 7/16:
More Hari Harassment from Trevor Camp
Thursday night Hari invited me to a hearing of the Santiago GHAD (Geological Hazard Abatement District) up in the hills – he’s been a member of that board for over a decade. “Boring!” I thought, but he said, “Just come, you’ll get a good story out of it.”
A little background, but this’ll be worth it – a 1993 landslide apparently destroyed a bunch of homes in the Hills, a lotta litigation followed cuz these are rich people, and finally in 1999 this GHAD was created. They’ve been mitigating the danger of another such landslide by sucking out 55,000 gallons of water a day, if I’ve got that right. (Before you get excited, this water is too rich in minerals to be potable or much good for anything else.)
This costs a lotta money, and Thursday night’s meeting was about an “assessment” on the affected homeowners’ property taxes to pay for it (I think? Here’s the flyer: http://santiagoghad.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/2022_06-28_Santiago-GHAD-June-28-flyer_revised.pdf)
About 60 homeowners showed up and of course they weren’t happy with the new assessment, or the fact that it varied widely for different homeowners, some as low as $200 a year, some as high as $16,000 a year. How come HE gets to pay so little? How come *I* have to pay so much? Hey I was HERE when that happened, most of you weren’t! Etc etc etc. I only stayed for an hour.
But there was ONE big aggressive loud guy in front of me who made a lot of noise. At one point Hari mentioned the “torrential rains” that led to that 1993 landslide, and this guy stood up and yelled, “You don’t know what you’re talking about, Hari! Your facts are all wrong! That landslide happened in the middle of a DROUGHT, in August!”
Hari didn’t argue, just smiled patiently and continued. I was confused, was my guy that ignorant? NO OF COURSE NOT. I googled and all the news stories confirmed, the 1993 landslide was caused by FIVE DAYS OF TORRENTIAL RAINS.
Who was this stupid ass in front of me? Turns out he was a realtor named DANNY WILLIAMSON, neighbor and best friend of Trevor O’Neil. So Trevor’s got him going around (or Danny’s doing it of his own accord?) yelling ignorant falsehoods at Hari to try to make Hari look bad.
I have a few more questions about this, I’m waiting to get answered. Like is this the same guy who falsely accused Hari of lying about arguing before the Supreme Court. And does Hari get paid to be on this important board? Probably not worth its own story. Or is it? What do you think?
Hari (rhymes with “sari”) has an unfair advantage — because the basketball standings always contain news about the Los Angeles Lakers: LAL!
I think that Kris Murray is too smart to wade into this particular tar pit. She’s already in jeopardy because her “Masters of the Universe!” quote sounds like it was spat out by The Cabal. And we’re pretty sure that the FBI downloaded all of our stories since we OCB began, so it’s going to pretty easy for them to search her history in local politics. (What were the nicknames we’ve used for Kris, Vern? Help them out!)
So avelino supported a Republican Paul Kott for mayor over dr moreno? Good to know.
And over Republican Tom Tait, whom Dr Moreno also supported. We don’t take political parties too seriously here in Anaheim.
I guess Paul seemed somewhere “in the middle” to a guy like Avelino; a SOAR member who is OFTEN but not always against corruption.
What’s Ashleigh’s chances of getting elected mayor realistically ? I haven’t followed the race much, but I remember when she ran last time. Obviously Harry now left which sort of brought me back to take a look, but really haven’t been following local OC politics this election cycle.
She’s generally referred to as “the frontrunner.”
If you remember, she NEARLY won last time, until the last-minute kabuki theater of the Angels leaving Anaheim and Harry’s convincing enough voters that “Only ***I*** know how to keep the team here.”
I do recall it was a close one last time. Time has flown by pretty fast. I did see her website right now. Touches upon general areas but I didn’t see any key areas she wanted to focus on specifically.
Now that the land sale for the angels has been caught in the mess with Sidhu, is it permanently dead or will be revisited again with more transparency?
Sorry, left my crystal ball at a bus stop a few years ago.
Update on last night’s big “Clean Up Anaheim” council meeting. First thing we learned was that Steve Faessel, who had backed Jose’s bill previously and agendized to bring it back tonight after it was defeated, had brought it back a new very weakened version – stripped down to the bare bones (or actually BONE), it consisted only of the Levine Act prohibition against voting on a matter affecting someone who’s given you over $250 in the last twelve months.
GONE WERE: Anything similar to do with PACS and Independent Expenditures, which is how Anaheim’s special interests spend the VAST majority of their dirty money – this now only applied to “direct contributions” which are never more than a couple thousand so don’t sway politicians that much. A lot of other important provisions were also stripped which I won’t get into here.
So we all felt betrayed by Faessel, but he explained that he had pared the ordinance down to its minimum so that, one at a time, they could add back other provisions to see which ones might get a majority. That made sense, and Jose tried it. (My friends think I’m naive and that this was all “HALL PASS” kabuki, but I really think Steve and Avelino are trying to do the right thing here. For one thing, what do either of them have to lose?)
But, one at a time, EVERY IMPORTANT PROVISION Jose, Steve and Avelino tried to add back was unanimously rejected by Trevor, Gloria and Diaz. It was like they were a very big, hard turd that would just not come dislodged.
– They said no to including PACs and I.E.’s.
– They said no to a 6-month recusal period after votes benefiting campaign donors.
– They said no to limiting fundraising to the year of election.
– They said no to letting the public enforce this ordinance like we can do with the Brown Act.
– They even said no to an idea of Trevor himself having to do with transparency/disclosure.
All that was left was Faessel’s nearly worthless bare-bones ordinance. Would Trevor, Gloria & Diaz have voted for that? And then gone around saying they “passed Campaign Finance Reform?” Maybe, but Steve, Avelino and Jose didn’t want to give them that chance and pulled the whole fucking thing.
Trevor parroted the Matt Cunningham line that Jose’s ordinance purposely left out public employee unions because he favors them and wants to give them an advantage over corporations. I’m sick of hearing that total bullshit. Jose would have loved to include unions in the ordinance, but it was legally impossible. Don’t believe me? What two unions do you think spend by far the most on Anaheim elections? The police union and the fire union, duh, and they always favor CABAL CANDIDATES. It would be wonderful if we could include them in this reform ordinance.
But Gloria and Diaz… what can you say. If you actually listen to the things they say, you can’t help but come to the conclusion that their combined intelligence equals that of one average person. They don’t understand half of what’s said to them, no matter how patiently it’s explained, and hence their responses make no sense. They are both as stubborn as they are stupid. Gloria is driven mainly by a thin skin, a presumption that Jose and others are accusing HER of corruption already. Diaz, too far right to be a Republican even, blames things on George Soros and the two major Parties, imagines we are trying to limit his contributions, and even has admitted several times that he could never have been elected without SOAR’s millions.
I feel sorry for West Anaheim. These three pigs-at-the-trough HAVE to go. (More thorough story coming soon.)
I like the strategy of making the obstructionists vote on every single good provision of a bill like this, one at a time. This is something that reformist Democrats have tried to do in both state and local legislatures — with Pelosi blocking these sorts of votes to protect the right wing of her caucus from embarrassment and pretty much every California legislative leader I can remember doing the same.
Obstructionists hate it because it’s embarrassing to them. That’s why we need it!
I called this on day 1. And apparently Jerbal has been pumping the guy up at Mickey Rat Blog – the inevitable telegraph of all things Klepto.
I suspected it from day 1. I was waiting for more evidence. It’s still not 100%.
Who else is the Cabal going to put up other than Trevor?
You mean if they put up Trevor for mayor?
District 2 they’re running Dirty Gloria for re-election.
District 3 they’re running the OCBC’s Natalie Rubalcava against Al Jabbar, and I don’t think she has much of a chance.
And if Trevor does run for Mayor, they’ll need someone else to run in District 6, and our first guess is Sergio Gonzales, if Kris Murray doesn’t feel like coming back for a beating.
Why do you think Murray would get a beating? She could get a lot of dough from Klepto world, has name rec and is attractive in a cauc, corn-fed way. She’d beat your guy like a drum.
She won’t. She went to those meetings in the FBI affidavit along with BFF @Disney
No way she sticks her neck out any time soon. Zero.
She might be implicated. But if not she’s tanned, rested and ready to resume pack mule duty!
After licking her wounds over her failure to get Poseidon passed.
Vern: “.. the Catholic Faessel furrowed his brow ..” What the heck does Faessel being Catholic have to do with anything here?
Cuz Catholics and Jews tend to feel extra guilty, duh.
oh for krise sake …..
There’s a distinction made in anthropology between “guilt cultures” (where avoidance of anti-social and immoral actions are inculcated to operate within the individual) and “shame cultures” where that avoidance comes from the prospect of being exposed to social opprobrium — such as the prospect of ostracism.
I’m not saying that it’s true, but just that that’s likely whence this sort of stereotype applied to Jews and Catholics derives. Your Krise has nothing to do with it.
It is true.
This is your Cabal shock troops, Anaheim.
I wonder if the FBI has any means of breaking into fake IP Addresses? Because we’ve got a whole pile of them in our trash folder!
Most people who accuse others of illiteracy know how to spell illiterate. Unless there is a wicked sense of irony at work which is doubtful. Speaking of work, you need a job.
MORE SPECTACULARLY STUPID HARI HARRASSMENT FROM THE TREVOR CAMP!
The other night Hari invited me to a hearing of the Santiago GHAD (Geological Hazard Abatement District) up in the hills – he’s been a member of that board for over a decade. “Boring!” I thought, but he said, “Just come, you’ll get a good story out of it.”

I have a few more questions about this, I’m waiting to get answered. Probably not worth its own story. What do you think?
We need a story both on that and on why Williamson’s head appears to come out of his body forward like a turtle.
Found the pic on his FB, he is actually leaning forward in the back row of a family photo. Of course I cropped out the rest of the long-suffering folks.
One thing I couldn’t get over on his wall was, after the Canyon Fire 4 years ago, he posted a pic of devastation, a demolished home and burned up car, and was getting all kinds of messages of sympathy and condolences from women around the country, for DAYS, before he finally mentioned, “Oh that’s not MY place, we’re fine!”
Maybe Meathead is auditioning for a spot on the Klepto ticket. If so Jerblog will undoubtedly start promoting him a a “freedom-friendly” something or other.
Please delete the impersonator comment and ban the IP address. It certainly wasn’t me.
This person changes his IP address every time, and frequently pretends to be me.
OK it’s all deleted.
I’ve been told that this same fruitcake is attacking ME and my wife on chemicalewinski’s blog. How fun. I have mental defective stalker. I guess I have finally arrived!
Well! Sit right back and have a cigar with me and Donna.
This guy’s getting sicker and more desperate. Latest in the trash folder is some sexual fantasy about Fitzgerald and Donna’s late son in hell.
Cheers!
Also, ChemLab has my address so he and his alter ego are welcome to come over any time they like.
I do waste time, more often than I should, checking in on the clownshows, and there’s a commenter who calls himself Richard Aronson who writes short, sloppy, right-on comments that provide a breath of fresh air on both Dan’s and Matt’s blogs. The latest – All of Chmielewski’s alter-egos, none of them real smooth at distinguishing literary styles, are convinced this guy is YOU, David Zenger!
But this exchange the other day was the funniest. https://theliberalat oc.com/2022/07/15/aitken-secures-endorsements-from-correa-and-umberg-for-anaheim-mayor/comment-page-1/#comment-283413
First, we get the Troll of Many Names, calling himself “The Pervert on Anna Drive,” expressing joy on the death of Fitzgerald, asserting that NONE OF US who comment on the OJB have had a job since 2014, and claiming you sold a watercolor to Bushala for six bucks…then switching his name to “Bushala’s Bitch,” he calls you a child molester and makes a rude crack about your wife’s health.
Next, Mr. Aronson pithily observes, “Wow, more top drawer commentary by the unemployed creepy freak. Well done! What a Blog! One turd swirling around a bowl that won’t flush, lol!”
But the funny part is Dan C’s response to Aronson: “The turd must belong to you. You contribute nothing here.”
That’s funny. Dan tells Aronson he “contributes nothing,” not like the quality commentary his troll(s) contribute.
I was banned from ChemLab blog along time ago, same time Jerbal Wordsmith cut me off for making fun of the now shamed Hide-and-Seek Sidhu.
My wife is okay, and I don’t do watercolors! The comment about the turd in the toilet bowl is pretty damn funny. It’ll never go away, just sort of decompose. It’s that Mardahl creep. Very disturbed individual, but he’s welcome to swing by and check out his luck.
Classy group here. Not like you guys have too much time on your hands.
I’ll take the gossip at Ball Jr. High as gospel over your sophomoric banter
Are you actually grown men?
Ouch! That hurt!
Nice spelling though, for a change!
And, ARE WE NOT MEN??
Please tell me that Mark Mothersbaugh ripped off David Byrne’s dancing and gesticulating rather than vice-versa. This is really disturbing.
Vern, have you notified Mr Lal about #vietnamesevandal #jamesmai and the effort to #removehinduphobe ?
#hinduphobicvandal needs 2B thrown off of his commissions, and i DO mean thrown out on his @ass. Hope door hits him on the way out.

@ twtr @shamehateOC
Yup, I was right. In this story my intuition was right, and my sources who confirmed this proved trustworthy. I don’t know what the Cabal thinks they got out of this “clever” kabuki of race-switching.
But as predicted they switched it all up today – Trevor is running for mayor and Natalie Meeks is running for District 6! I like this – I think Ashleigh can beat Trevor, and I think my pal Hari has a better chance against Meeks than he would have against Trevor.
It is ON. https://www.anaheim.net/3321/2022-Candidate-List
Sorry, boss — you might yet turn out to be right, but we won’t know until sometime after 5:00. (And I hope you’ll be at the Clerk’s desk before 5:00 to take pictures and ask questions.)
Trevor has not filed for Mayor. He has just filed a Form 501. He has pulled papers for Mayor, but that could be a feint. A pointless one, as you note, because the other sides (both the side of Good and Galloway’s Chaotic Evil) have already locked in their positions, so I don’t know what they’re doing except showing off their amazing supposed unpredictability.
I guess that Rudy Gaona is going to defer to Carlos Leon, but with Rida Hamida in the race the Dem vote — such as it is — is split anyway. (If she qualifies, that is.) Anyway: poor Rudy, screwed over again.
In District 6, Hari is in, Meeks has filed a 501 (which I look forward to reading) but not filed, let alone qualified. Trevor has filed, but pulled his nomination papers — which, so far as I know, he can refile. Remember that if Trevor doesn’t file for reals today, the seat reopens for another five days. My guess is that Republicans would use that time to recruit another Dem into the race. Their fear of Hari is the best rational-ish explanation for this. But I do suspect that you’re right that O’Neil will end up running for Mayor — but wouldn’t be shocked if otherwise.
Do you know anything about Dick Lopez? Is he just there to suck up the Latino vote from Ashleigh, Lorri, or both? That’s my guess.
On Rudy – no, he is deferring to Ra’ida.
I think that Rida in the race assures that Gloria wins, but that was likely to happen anyway. But it does mean that Disney has to spend money on attacking two people rather than one. Maybe you have a more optimistic take. This is the Little Arabia district, right? (Or is that 1 — or is it both?)
Rudy may really be too good for electoral politics — which is why he is exactly the kind of person we need in public office. Someone needs to appoint him to a high-level commission, at a minimum. Ashleigh — THIS is an endorsement you should want!
Funny, Jordan did put him on some commission a few years ago, I forget which one. He gets along with a lotta people.
Dick Lopez. Haven’t put much thought into him. Usually there are even more minor characters running for mayor. In 2018 there were four of em.
And they’ve done a lot of damage in elections over time, being hand-picked to split the vote. Like that woman who didn’t even seem to live in Anaheim but shared the name of a Latina pop star, remember?
Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.
Meeks, a public pensioner, is a shoe in. Like ARTIC, despite being a massive failure to taxpayers, she’s a permanent part of Anaheim.
Trevor just permanently attached himself to a corrupt and toxic regime. All he had to do was keep his mouth shut for four more months.
I bet I know exactly who’s advising him, because that level of hubris can only come from one specific moron.
Whoever will be writing Ashley’s mailers is gonna have a lot of fun with Cabal No5 “the self promoting company man.”
You have to admit that it’s an impressive feat to be one of Anaheim’s most horrible Mayors without ever actually having been its Mayor.
Literally named as an asset during a FBI wiretap and this genius thinks: “Oh jeez, I should be the next mayor!”
$5 Faessel endorses him.
Well, Faessel’s name is on Trevor’s lame-ass candidate statement:
I’m proud to call Anaheim home. I’ve dedicated my career to helping our most vulnerable seniors and individuals. As an Anaheim Councilmember and Mayor Pro Tem, I’ve delivered results for Anaheim:
Increased the number of Anaheim firefighters and police officers
Built shelters with services for homeless
Improved Anaheim parks and increased library hours
Balanced Anaheim’s budgets
I’m a concerned parent who’s giving back to Anaheim – it’s where I raised my children, who attended public schools in Anaheim. I’ve worked to ensure school district spending benefits students.
During COVID-19, I led the way providing aid to residents and grants to struggling small businesses while balancing public health needs with reopening Anaheim’s economy.
When the former Mayor was under FBI investigation, I demanded he resign. I’ve stepped up as Acting Mayor, and I’m leading efforts to clean up city hall.
If elected as Mayor, I will:
Support our Anaheim Police and Fire Departments
Adopt business-friendly policies to create jobs and grow the economy
Maintain and improve Anaheim parks, roads, and community centers
Ensure taxpayer dollars are reinvested in Anaheim neighborhoods
Please join the Anaheim Taxpayers Association; Anaheim Councilmembers Jose Díaz, Gloria Sahagún Ma’ae, Steve Faessel; and many residents throughout Anaheim supporting Trevor O’Neil for Mayor of Anaheim.
https://www.anaheim.net/DocumentCenter/View/45561/Statement_ONeil
Way to go, Steve.
Selling yourself right up to the bitter end. You didn’t learn one goddamn thing.
Oh, and selling bonds to balance the budget is “intellectually dishonest.”
Remember that Whitaker suggested that for Fullerton back when interest rates were hovering near zero. Doing it then would not have been intellectual dishonest. Doing it now would be intellectually bereft. Did Faessel say that at one point?
Reload, reload, reload — NOW you’re right! Congratulations!
